a joe by imposing these sanctions on russia. hill has destroyed the american economy. so there is your boomerang ah, this is a crater made by the american made high marse rocket. it landed right in the yard of this musical college right in the center of the city of the nets, to report from the line of fire ukraine target's done. yes, residential areas with us supplied rockets along obsession with pushing ukraine towards nato to confront russia. that's the admission coming from former us president donald trump, who was criticizing washington policy as the us led invasion of iraq reaches its 20 year anniversary. we look at how the american architects of the war spread, the neoconservative policies around the globe. nigeria is tormented by doubts about

foreign influence from former colonial powers, the head of the upcoming elections. as the country continues to bustle multiple crisis with moscow to the world. this is our t international. my name is peter scott. and these, the top stories at 3 pm this thursday afternoon. thanks for joining us. we start with some breaking news this. our paramedic has been killed as an ambulance came under ukrainian fire while while helping people in the city of done yet. that's according to local authorities who claim the key of selling also took the life of a civil in woman leaving another person wounded. ukrainian troops used us supplied the high mars rockies to it's like a residential area in daniel cars are separate story ortiz, ro, mikasa reports from the scene of that attack. this is

a crater made by the american made. hi marcy rock it. it landed right in the yard of this musical college right in the center of the city of jeanette's canal, according to local authorities, there were at least 5 strikes against the city. now the air defense was working. now this is another greater made by this strike by a ha, i'm our scroggins, according to the investigators will work on the scene. now this is greater number 3 . now all around me are purely residential buildings. only civilians live here. there is not a site of a single military purse. now the reason why investigator said that hi mars multiple launch rocket systems made and i did. phase holheimer were used is because of these remains. now the typical yellow color is representative of the homer's rocket. now this is quite harry. now had the moment strikes against

a center of the city limits. ah, continue, we are yet to find out whether there were any casualties. but as you can see, there's quite a bit of a destruction not only here in the center of the nest, but on the outskirts of the city has. well we'll continue to m one. it's our the events as the day progresses, ramon cos rip, harty dun escrow public. well just a quick updates on that breaking news story. 3 paramedics have now apparently been killed as an ambulance came under that ukrainian fire while on a mission in done yet. so that's according to local authorities who added the gifts . shelling also took the life of a civilian woman and left another wounded. the former us president donald trump, who wants to return to the white house next year, has slammed washington for he claimed, was the support of the 2014 my dad threw in ukraine. drums calling for a shakeup in the american government to get rid of the people who he says,

pushing for world war 3. for decades, we've had the very same people, such as victoria newland, and many others just like are obsessed with pushing ukraine toward nato. not to mention the state department support for uprisings in ukraine. these people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case interact and other parts of the world. and now we're teetering on the brink of world war 33 ality is it is exactly what a lot of americans are saying and wanting to hear. and the response to the obvious response in people's frustration here at the united states at the accountable billions that continue to go over there. meanwhile, we're dealing with a real crisis here in the united states. the fact that the president of the united states would rather go to the border of another country and encourage a war rather than actually take care of his own people. i think this was an excellent moment, not only for a person running for president like donald trump,

but more importantly for the people the united states to rally behind what is right and what is the right place for america, be putting their time in their effort and their resources right now, which is right here at home. trump once again start pushing everybody to make hard stances on topics that prior they've been able to wish you wash apart and trust the started to hold their feet to the fire, which is what it trump does. best, let's just see if it actually resonates with enough pressure to actually get the right thing done by those already. still in office. dance homes, comments on the wall in iraq, united by the us. that invasion come just ahead of the 20 and a vestry of one of the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great with

and fleet with among those held responsible for the iraq war on neoconservatives whose ideology, if supporting direct us miniature interventions, a much sway over the bush administration. ortiz, kennimore pin does deeper into the ideas the consequences. can you even imagine washington, without the neocons running u. s. foreign policy. this crowd of war hawks who believe in spreading freedom by toppling governments has had the upper hand for decades. this school of foreign

policy hardliners has roots in the late cold war, the soviet tallahassee. academics who are obsessed with bringing down russia in the ninety's. they took aim at iraq, the only acceptable strategies, one that eliminates the possibility that a rock will be able to use or threatened to use weapons of mass destruction in the near term. this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing in the long term, it means removing saddam hussein and his regime from power. they waited for the right moment after 911 george w bush was ready to play ball with them. a rock was destroyed for the sake of democracy, is the policy of the united states to she can support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. ah,

we can all see how well that turned out, yet some continued to defend neoconservative ideals. the problem with neoconservatism is agenda lies, not in that sense which are as american as apple pie, but rather in the over militarized means by which it has sought to accomplish them . obama picked up after bush and toppled the government of libya. the neocons screamed for blood shall the concerns of men in congress to doubt, to wayne, which the bam administration has conducted these operation. the problem is not that he has done too much, however, that he has done too little to achieve the girl of removing to daffy from power. united states should bulletin indies effect, not trailing behind our allies. the next target was serious. a belief that if you get decent, syria, you can leave asked and power. prominent u. s. economists, jeffrey sachs says that ukraine is the ultimate culmination of the neo cons strategy. the war in ukraine is the culmination of

a 30 year project of the american neoconservative movement. the biden administration is packed with the same neocons, who championed the u. s. wars of choice. and serbia, afghanistan, iraq, syria, and libya, and who did so much to provoke russia's invasion of ukraine. endless wars, country after country destroyed. and where is all it is prosperity, freedom and democracy that's been promised? not once, as the neoconservative agenda lived up to its supposed ideals, but despite the hard lessons and the u. s. public being overwhelmingly opposed to further interventions. the war hawk world view remains alive and well as ever. hail marvin r t near us led invasion of iraq traits had many new security challenges for the country, including the emergence of terrorist organizations. the west fights against them, destroyed countless civilian lives, with many homes during the strikes. one of the bates hymns is abdulla hallo,

who is still seeking justice for the destruction? bro. bye. the u. s. military was bad glue. is it on your bombs up in the house? collapsed on us, we didn't know because we were inside our home and we didn't hear the bombing. as a result, i lost the hearing in my ear and my back and left hip were burned and my leg was amputated. ah, i don't remember along with any man, my iraqi civil defense forces didn't show up because the area had not been liberated at the time and had been under ices control for 5 days. so my leg injury got infected. i've got several burns all over my body. the neighbors were terrified, they rushed to rescue us. they managed to pull us out of the rubble, but some men,

women and children were not saved. they transferred me to the hospital near my home, but the bleeding didn't stop and i couldn't sleep because of the severe pain medication wasn't available. then i said, i couldn't tolerate the pain in my leg anymore. so they took me to the city of air belgy doctors there told me that the inflammation had reached the bone and that amputation was the only way to go. my wife was slightly injured, but the children were in critical condition with numerous broken bones. thank god, they're alive. ah, baby mm. the investigation determined that isis and placed a large amount of explosive material in a structure containing a significant number of civilians. neither coalition or rocky forces knew that

civilians were sheltered within the structure by the isabella after the injury and the commander of the north american forces called military. he said that he regretted that serious mistake. adding that this happens in war and by the commander promised. he would pay me a visit, which never happened. after that, they called me 3 times asking whether the iraqi government visited me or non us troops showed their desire to financially compensate me for this mistake. however, as you know, compensation for war crimes and military airs goes on for years. but as an iraqi citizen, i'd applied for compensation to the iraqi government. like all those affected so far, i have not received any some, even though i got the receipt for the the some is very low and does not cover the cost of my destroyed house and furniture. you may not believe it, but the sum is around $10200.00, which was estimated based on the size of the house. when what about the furniture and other equipment a how can i rebuild the house with this pittance over? mm

ah, how is anybody can, is you, you should compensate the entire country, but what compensation can we talk about after they've completely destroyed the country, plundered its resources and wiped out its abundance. they promised people filthy richness and cars, saying they'll get what they wanted. but it was just false promises what they've achieved in the country is murder, destruction, and torture. or it's on iraq's weapons of mass destruction, combat terrorism and free the iraqi people were that was the mantra, us politicians used to justify the invasion of iraq back in 2003 the rocket nuclear scientists, how me to al bali, says reports on the absence of weapons of mass destruction existed whenever reached

george w. bush's desk vill edison was near the head of the international inspection. teams declared that iraq is free of weapons of mass destruction. they had destroyed all facilities, such as the move fontose facilities, wards 11 and 43, which were earmarked for that purpose in the 1980s in 19 nineties. accordingly, he submitted a document stating that he rock was free of weapons of mass destruction. of manufacturing nuclear weapons is not an easy task. it requires massive capacities in time. but let's put aside that topic for now in 1995, i spoke to dr. abdulla he'd also g, an inspector at the international atomic energy agency who was conducting inspection missions and japan, korea, and china. in 1982 in 1987. he told me that he had met with one of the agencies inspectors in austria, who was tasked with operations in iraq. and that man said he reported to the

agencies head albert di, that he rock does not contain weapons of mass destruction. that report could have been forwarded to the un security council. and as a result, the embargo on iraq would have been lifted. but our borrowed di declined. that is why albert di was responsible for the embargo, not having been lifted in 1996. according to my information, the war started based on 3 reports. the 1st report was related to a master's thesis on uranium enrichment which was theoretical and impractical. the 2nd report was the testimony of a person. i cannot remember his name in the u. s. congress. i can't recall the 3rd report. the ad for said reports were put on george w bush's desk. gala, based on those reports, bush decided that he rock had weapons of mass destruction and he waged a war. i'm not saying here that he rock was free of chemical and biological weapons, but in the 19 ninety's the inspection teams were tasked with eliminating them. i'm

not ruling out the likelihood of w m days being there, but that was prior. it's a 2003 study in 2002. the u. n's inspection teams released to report stating that iraq was free of w. m. d 's. they sealed the chemical weapons wards which became inaccessible. but there was a clear recognition by the un that those wards were safe and contained only chemical waste. but those warts had raw materials capable of making chemical weapons. but they could have also been used for peaceful purposes. they pumped in sodium hydroxide, turning them into salts in 2002, all chemical or biological weapons were destroyed. and in 2003, almost all the nations of the world refuted the existence of weapons of mass destruction as a pretext for war. the war was a great catastrophe. it was not pertaining only to the us. it was a war involving dozens of countries in 1991, a 120000 tons of bombs, heavy rack,

and almost the same amount were dropped on iraq in 2003. iraq witness. 3 wars in 1991, 999 and 2003. among those bonds, there were internationally prohibited weapons containing depleted uranium, which were used to penetrate fortified objects such as armoured, military vehicles and communications facilities. when the explosion occurs depleted, uranium is fragmented into precise parts the travel through the air to adjacent places and all the residents there will be infected with radioactive, and other toxic substances on it. as a result, many people have developed various diseases such as cancer and suffered miscarriages of birth defects. the intensity of the shelling was on vassar, a baghdad, and other areas causing enormously significant effects. the 1st strike was in 1991 . now the effects might not appear immediately, but those who inhaled uranium dust at the time would inevitably be effected. the

uranium dust might also seep into the ground. let me tell you some figures in 2002, a german or swiss company a came to clear iraq of depleted uranium. so and their work lasted for years. eventually they released a document saying that these certain spots were not hazardous areas. so you didn't a little bit as yet in 2001 in 2002, a team of iraqi experts was formed in collaboration with monitoring entities to examine 80000000 square meters via eventually we found that a great amount of depleted uranium in several places led to many casualties yet and their children and grandchildren may also be effected. furthermore, the 25th golf tournament was scheduled for a few years ago, but traces of depleted uranium were one of the reasons why it was postponed if the bass row was noted as the most heavily bombed city was depleted uranium or i was interviewed by saudi t v station in 2021,

and i told them about the team of experts that managed to clear basrah from all the objects contaminated with depleted uranium. and they were sent to safe areas. as for the infected people. unfortunately, these infections will not disappear and may remain for decades and possibly generations to come. i believe that the 33 or 34 countries involved should take responsibility for all the iraqi casualties, as well as the delayed development due to these explosions that severely affected lives. especially in the agricultural sector, as uranium may have been transferred to crops and then to humans. yes, the u. s. and more than 30 other countries bear the responsibility for this destruction. we are exerting tremendous efforts to rid iraq of the tragedies caused by those countries. a real catastrophe might have occurred, the thanks to god and the heroism of the iraqi youth who risked their lives in order to protect the rock and the rest of the nations despite the dangers. but i also think that amid the great threat, the global warming has had on humans,

plants and animals, the trend has shifted towards atomic energy nuclear power plants should be billed to replace fossil fuels. oil gas and coal should be replaced with nuclear fuel. nuclear facilities must be protected, and i think the pertinent agreements are sufficient only if they are tiered to ah well, 20 years after the us led invasion of iraq. washington's interference in the domestic issues of middle eastern countries continues to run claims. their navy intercepted a vessel allegedly carrying thousands of years made blades intended for protesters in the persian gulf sofa. the kush but armed reclass uh, we discovered a vessel with more than 5000 american, made machetes and swords in boucher province. and these weapons become sharper, the more blood they touch his own about this fellow had jane in so border officials

along with machetes and swords. the vessel was also carrying over $3000.00 other non specified weapons that were supposed to end up in the hands of riots. as i ran, provided no photographic evidence for this on washington is yet to comment. iran has been gripped, though by violent anti government processed in september when 22 year old muster armenian died in police custody. earlier iran supreme leader claimed the unrest in the country. it was orchestrated by washington. the deputy for the international affairs of toronto municipality believes that washington is behind attempts to destabilize the country. it shows that how the americans are supporting formation of terrorist groups, or let's say, importing theory group inside iran, and bring them to find that they are doing against you on inside the country to do the same life, country and security. nothing is happening in other countries. in the region

without being vice on the united states in washington and the fact that on a sunday i thought the walk and they have established a lot of military b as in different parts of the region and the demean opponent to that. i mean, you could probably about the want, so because they're the are trying to fight against the me in government. they are a living in a uni for the word. that's what they believe on what it is, not the truth. the war has changed and the warrant over there has full talk to change. in the newsletter, teaching has laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier outside the kremlin and the annual ceremony. that's to me on the eternal flame on as those who died during the 2nd world war, the soviet union lost almost 27000000 people in the war against germany. more than 11000000 of them were soldiers were the remainder being civilians instead is regarded in celebration of the countries military picking up the ceremony. but the

mere putin that supporting so just as a state juicing, ah, let him know that this is the mother of jesus. i see very young guy standing here. 2 days ago, i ended my address by saying that truth is on our site. but when i look at those young guys, i want to add the future is on our side, which the, the modernized, unaffected military forces are necessary to protect versus sovereignty. without the least it was the message from putin as he congratulated military officers and veterans on defender the father. one day, the president stressed the country, security is not behind. b bolstered with a brand new weapon system. i wish only when you minute, we will pay increased attention to strengthening our nuclear deterrent this year. the 1st launchers of the sar mart complex with an you have a missile, are entering combat duty. we will continue the serial production of can joel air based hypersonic complexes and begin the mass introduction of through gone sea

based hypersonic missiles. you mentioned that computing also mentioned that the countries navy will introduce a new nuclear armed sub this year, the president added that russia's military were deploy a full complement of modern strategic weapons and delivery systems. the country's arms industry is now steaming ahead to provide the military with everything it needs to protect the nation from foreign threats. ah, over to nigeria now which is africa's most populous nation on the biggest economy. and he's preparing for presidential elections this saturday and here nazi were continuing with our special coverage of one of the constants, most significant elections this year. with over 93000000 people are registered for the upcoming votes with 18 candidates to choose from. the 3 main consent, these are the former governor from the ruling party bowler. i met to new bo,

the former vice president and leader of the peoples democratic party, a tech who, abu bakar, and the youngest of them, the former governor, a nominee of the labor party pizza. obee is getting mass popularity among young people there. each of them represents a different region of the country and appeals to a different electorate. the choice of who to vote for is further complicated by concerns of a possible neo colonial influenced by the u. k. 3 of the come to this as well as the electoral empire have visited the you case, chatham house, a think tank for consultations, and they claim to promote their candidacy to nigerians around the world are t correspondence. pollute. david brings a small as deny, joined the policy, get heated up with citizens counting down to saturdays general election to shane a new precedence. the concern of where the niger at is still being the colonized by the way it's been tabled for precedence. mohammad, how he's a 1015 the some of the present presidential candidates my jury and help witness the

applications. so this is just the house located for discuss campaign plan and promises. rather than having the same conversation with the country. many have them actually with any to forests. they desire to be seen and heard across the globe. one to many. i was actually any to the fact. that's how my dress, the how does it run tied to mother the united kingdom colonized some years ago as long as we continue to borrow money from i m s. from the g 7, g 20. whatever you want to call it. they will continue to have, you know, our, a bronze fights themselves, my jewish electro laws, not me desperate of voting. hence, experts have said speeches, the outside shows a fine jewelry. i do not necessarily have an actual significant. however,

so might you and have a quick side the constant because with chapters house saying it is a form of neil colonialism, colonial moscow. britain has not let go of nigeria. well to have seen it that day. they have vain brought on all manner of new colonial policies to control the political economy of the agenda. that was the time. how's their platform been fired to us and you know, get to our lead. does that kind of is almost compared to our piano down without quits? you see, i see no buddy, you know, start, you know, these is part of making sure that they're, we seek the approval, get the approval so that when you become president, you know that they, they, they confront approval or u. s. we've gotten a defendant since $960.00. we really been truly independent. he's our lead us find it's more convenient to talk outside of the country. so people, danny, go speaking,

bug at all. so beyond the father to us, it's an opportunity to so your policy, what really goes, what is, what are those on said things that happen. i chatham mouse click is ok study is out of prison. well, my, the worry, for instance, if you didn't attend some of the bits and he went to chatham house and he became niger as president. so yes, you do want to beautiful house researchers. what day is there hospice, a cheerio. what? oppose each a downstairs and shut off. i come put a stop the shuttle house invitation jo, in my joint election year in says in the, in the also asking, but yet be an end to the submission and the provision of my years. economy policies, planning and performance is by far in agencies, negative habits of politicians, hot in money overseas and soccer fields of medical tourism carried and the west by my german politicians, palo david

r. c. apple j. make him watch our coverage of the nigerian elections throughout the coin. days here on our to international of course as always will keep you updated on all the latest. ah ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk with her. i'm rick sanchez, and i'm here to plead with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. certainly

why watch something, but so different. my little opinions that you won't get anywhere else working with please. i do have to state department the c i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i change and whatever you do, don't want my show to stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think . ah, hello, i'm manila chan you are tuned. n t m modus operandi. this week we'll head to central america where one country is resisting us pressure and going their own way in foreign policy. after a history of meddling from the americans, president daniel ortega of nicaragua stands his ground as the united state.
