dana a ah, that's a rational for the mission to make sure that europe in western europe keeps. i'm funneling supporting nato and keeps on falling arms into into what is clearly a proxy war against russia. in an exclusive interview, going on the ground renown report, the theme or harsh breaks down the u. s. a node stream pipelines which you were exposed to the bomb shell report this been denied by washington. also this our, this is a grades are made by the american made hi marcy rocket. it landed right in the yard of this musical college right in the center of the city of the nets that most civilians are killed in the ukrainian shelling of rushes don't. yes,

we're public. we report from the scene and one of the latest attack plus painting friends, a clear message to washington calling that the world's largest war monger is china as they see here. why should we consider it's policy evolving? ukraine warning that the weapons could end up on the black. not a very welcome to you because on the international with the very latest world news update, it's good to have your company the u. s. a sabotage have been north stream pipelines was aimed at cutting europe off from affordable russian gas. that's according to pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, speaking exclusively to action with tons the on going on to ground. the people who did this thing were assigned to do it in the intelligence community, the operators, they initially thought it was a great idea. let's get

a capacity of before it be before russia was talking, but it was so late. 2021. let's go and find out if we can do it. and by, within a few months, the white house clearly was sold. that was told the people doing it thought this was in a bad idea. they gave the white house some options to maybe bluff or convince of putting at the cost is going to be very high and but then when the white house blew by talk publicly about this within 3 weeks of the briefing, information he got and victoria knew of both within a 3 week period and late january, early february of last year, both said publicly, well, we know we can stop it and let me be, let me, let me. so the news kind of is, if, if a we will stop the north she wanted and the president was asked after he said that by reporters, it's a family, it's all on tape. it was a nightly news report. is that, well, how will you do it? he said, let me tell you, we know how to do it. we can do it language like that. and at that point,

the guys in the group were upset because it was supposed to be a covert operation. and by the time they finally, they did their job, they made it possible they, they planted the bombs with 8 of the navy divers and. and then it just sat there. the bomb sat there for months was planted in june. but by wish, by so when, when the war look, you look like the ukrainians were doing ok by late september there was certainly evidence of a serious a serious issue. there wasn't going to be a cakewalk for the ukrainians. like some people in the press route, at that point, the group that made it possible. understood that he did it for political purposes period. it's not going to help the war. what it does, what he was doing it for was a prevent germany. and the western europe, if case, the winter came quickly from opening up the pipeline, the german government had, they had done the sanction dave, stop the pipeline. but the german government has the right to open up the new one. and that was wanted by,

that's the rational for the mission to make sure that europe and western europe keeps. i'm funneling supporting nato and keeps, i'm finding arms into, into what is clearly a proxy war against russia that's being fought right now. published on february the 8th, hershey is reporter led to the pipelines were mine by a u. s. navy divers, back in june. last year, the journalist said washington used nathan military drills to cover up the operation with assistance from norway. according to the report, joe biden made the decision after 9 months of consultations with the security advisors. report has been criticized by both washington and the e. u, with officials dismissing it as speculation and even fiction. seymour hersh phase biden's denial isn't surprising. as some other us presidents have been caught lying to the public for the sake of promoting a war. what happened in norway? the reason i wrote the piece of sac subsector going back to lyndon johnson. we all

know that john's his premise for going expanding the war and getting congressional prob commitment to do whatever he wanted. the war, the same as the, the one that george bush got after 911 that led him to go to iraq. he could do what he wanted. he got a complete bill of goods rights for in a speech called the, the tonkin gulf resolution. and the congress passed after us after johnson lied about what happened in the war. he invented a northridge enemy's attack. he, a mcnamara conspired to change the intelligence. it's not, this is not new. it's been known. but i use, i'm, i was thinking of that in the context of johnson lied about something that led us into a war that killed 50000 americans and get this going anywhere between one and 3 me in vietnamese, we don't now this, that's the way we deal with the, with these people have a different race, i guess one to 3 man. and so here we have a president lying about a not telling the truth about something he authorized that did happen. and what is

going to happen now germany. i think the reason for it, i think in late september last year, it was clear that whatever we thought about ukraine winning, the war, standing up to the russians, what's going to be very unlikely which it is going to be very unlikely to spite which arena daily newspapers is not going well at all, so potent selling west in europe and the germans. i'm particularly the germans that well, we, there, you were so worried that you might decide that the support is all away because you're getting oil from mushy. they control the pipeline. as i said, the germans, he was worried they were drop the sanction since are taking the gas again. so what he did is, is he said to europe and i said, well, you can't in a crunch. you know, we're going to let you be cold. it's not cold this year, but i will tell you right now the real worries next winter for more revelations, from the man who previously exposed us war crimes in vietnam and ra cucamonga. the full interview with female hash on going on the ground right here on our see this

saturday. the un general assembly has passed a western drafted resolution that calls on russia to withdraw its forces from ukraine. the motion with a dog dog, the 2 days of debates in new york, 141 countries vote in favor of the document. 7 nations including russia, bella ruth and syria rejected the resolution. an additional $32.00 un members, abstained among them. china, india, and iran. this is the 7th resolution on ukraine adopted by the un general assembly since the start of last year's conflicts previously most goes on past the vaseline . have been granted the latest documents clearly until russian 3 paramedics, me mall, have been killed after an ambulance was hit by ukrainian fire in the city of don't, yes, that's according to local authorities. you added the shilling. also took the life of a civilian woman and left another wounded. earlier ukrainian troops hit residential

areas of don. yes, with us applying high miles rockets, r t r t z, a correspondent among cars reports from the sea. this is a crates are made by the american made. hi marcy rocket. it landed right in the yard of this said musical college right in the center of the city of the nets. now, according to local authorities, there were at least so 5 strikes against the city. and now the air defense was working. now this is another greater made by this strike, by a hymer stroke. and according to the investigator's whole work on the see, now this is greater number 3. now all around me are purely residential buildings. only civilians live here. there's not a sites always single military purse. now the reason why investigator said that hi mars multiple launch rocket systems made and i did. phase called high mars were used is because of these remains. now,

the typical yellow color is representative of the high mars rocket. now this is quite heavy. now at the moment, strikes against the center of the city of the misc. ah, continue, we are yet to find out whether there were any casualties. but as you can see, there's quite a bit of destruction not only here in the center of the nest, but on the outskirts of the city as well, will continue to monitor the events as the day progresses. ramon cos ref, harty done this group public. there were thing tends to divide russia and asked what the country's defense minister has said while addressing the military on the annual descent of the fatherland day. his on sagacious describes the western efforts you are to to day. russia is once again in serious danger, using ukraine. the collective west seeks to divide russia and to private of its independence. these attempts are doomed to fail. me mol, hungary has we,

as to rates dates, coals for peace in ukraine, and the ending of western arm supplies to k, f. speaking of the un general assembly hungary, foreign minister of the well to rethink its approach to the conflicts before it spirals out of control. we can save lives of the people by creating peace. and based on our experience, it became already pretty obvious that neither delivery of weapons, nor sanctions, those measures do not save lives. to the contrary. they contribute to the prolongation and the risk of escalation of this war. and they bring more suffering . united nations have been crated to serve as a platform for dialogue, for those who even consider each other as enemies. therefore, we urge dogs between russia and the united states to be started as soon as possible

in the framework of the united nations. we hungaria are living in central europe and we have understood very clearly the lesson of history. we all know that whenever there was a conflict between east and west, we in central europe, we have always lost. therefore, another major east to west conflict would definitely be against our national interest. complete generations in hungary have lost decades from their lives because of the cold war. and we do not want to lose more. we do not want the world to be divided into blocks. again, instead of blocks, we want connectivity and cooperation. and we do not one these regional war to become a global them. langley is not the only country warning of an escalation to the

conflict in ukraine as fe. jenkins also said that the arms washington sentenced to key, have often and death in the wrong hands. weapons supplied by the u. s. to ukraine are often smuggled into the hands of criminal groups in europe and other regions. instead of creating new problems, washington should think about what good it can do for the world. concerns of a deadly weapons ending up in the wrong hands were also previously raised by the e. u and nato. and july, last year, both organizations advocated for greater tracking of shipments to keep in order to prevent black market sells in europe. the e u. law enforcement agency, you are a poll, was that the threat might be even higher was the conflict ends. you and officials also raised the issue, calling for more effective arms control measures to be put in place. the u. s. policy of flooding, arms into walls, and this part of the problem is china has labeled america, the world's largest war monger, paging. i did that it all of us history. the nation is only enjoyed 2 decades of

peace that washington has been responsible for 80 percent of the world's armed conflicts since world war 2, including the us, lead nato strikes on former yugoslavia and 999 and the long run in conflicts. and i'm going to stall on the rock, according to a professor at the paris school of technology and business. washington now wants to prolong the ukraine conflicts to us in south china is pouring weapons to the f one, lie in ukraine, the u. s. emitted it and was quite proud of it is that china has stressed that china's comprehensive collaborative polish ship with russia is paid on the basis of non alignment non computation and non targeting of 3rd parties. and it's a matter we've been to sovereignty of the 2 independent countries, i think right now is not in the us interest to make sure there will be 0 smuggling of weapons to the other european countries or because

they have to, you know, maintain enough, you know, form forces and the weapons are in the ukraine to prolong the wars against russia. so even though the u. s. my, you know, that they will be unable to control the leak office weapons to other countries, but they are not in the interest and became far so the remains of the country's 1st president thomas on kara, had been put to rest in a re burial ceremony attended by til officials, revolutionary leader who is often referred to as african che guevara. he was killed during a qu, and $987.00 o co respondent investigates, and cars legacy. it's a remarkable day here in book, in a far so it's very burial of thomas and cara, revolutionary leader, and former boykin. i be president to this pot where he was assassinated. back in

1987 troublesome, kara came to power in a cool in the early eighty's, and was nickname african che guevara, for his commitment to continental self relies ellen to western policies. after falling victim to a new cool, we'll national i code was buried in a harry in an unmarked grave. but if he years ago, the body was examined and finally identified as belonging to variable machinery. however, but choice of the burial site has created a controversy. his family is calling for a different location for son, carouse grave away from his sight, half his assassination. some critics. ugh, that sancho remains given his historical significance no longer belong to the family. hello tory hole is the only survivor of the bloody murder which claim

the lives of thomas hancock and 12 others says it's a social that variable actually be buried with his comrades should be bonaparte you did for me. these debates have no place. what is difficult to replace is how to embody the values represented by thomas ankara. why an olive humanity in all of africa on all of the planet has earth claimed thomas and kyra, what did he do to deserve such a fate? what did he do to stop being a son to his family? let's follow in st. cars footsteps and makes and car remembered. let's put him where humanity wants him. very moral side, where he is already a memory in tribute to the national hero. but his family agrees with this choice for the army san car. these are both or it's sold you and they say his buddy

belongs to the army. moreover, in terms of tullison, rick customary chief, think he should be buried when he was tipped. this quite a bit is agreements of where the body of side should be. the new spot of thomas on color grave is low. it please, but pauses as event. grades are meaning to each citizen a book in a fossil m y language. in my opinion, we must respect the choice of the family, even if thomas sanker all was a national hero. since the memorial is already at a well known place and many have already visited it, i think it's a given. even if thomas sanker are buried elsewhere, it doesn't change much. the rascal f a model. in my opinion, it is the opinion of the family that counseling it's true, thomas sanker, i was a hero, but he belongs 1st to his family. even if he is a brick and knaves for me, it is the opinion of the family that counts. while not as it is friday, it's true that his remains belong to his family and there are decisions that are up

to them. but i also think that people deserve to be heard because outside of his family, he was also a president that many love didn't would as he was a president, that many new there. i think we can bury him at the memorial and it will be special . i mean, it won't go unnoticed because he's someone that people like. i think people will remember him always. ah, to africa now where paris is. i enclosed the ties with the ivory coast off the neighboring bacchanal. faso showed french troops the door. the french defense minister visited the country's former colony olson and his kite duality. pledge fresh military support. you don't need to consider. the army of the ivory coast is nothing like that of 10 years ago. and now it makes the ivory coast the country of stability. a country in which we can nurture and document the common security agenda and thus stabilizing the region. basically, we will operate on 2 legs. one of those will be to provide human resources and training, training the french army to bring more to its ivory and partners. frances now

officially enter this military mission in kina fall sale after the country's government ordered paris to withdraw its troops accusing them of failing to help fight islamists to your heart. is groups linked to al qaeda on this lumnick stage had been causing cale and the saw how region the violence has led to thousands of deaths on the displacements of millions of people in molly niger and the keen affonso? well, some local how they feel about the current situation. rama didn't really it both of us a lot that the french armies station next to us because whether it's the ivory coast or niger it's next door. because we are and for the united states of africa. if the french army is next to us, it can never work. it bothers us a lot, but really we have no choice. we hope that these will socrates will become aware and will really turn that back definitively on any imperialist army. the france for any other be we can take this decision of the ivory coast is

a decision of treason. if the ivory coast did this, it is not an act to be price alone. it is an act to be rather band be. so if the ivory coast is for the presence of troops, there, it is as if it is trying a policy of hostility with kina. paso, some we are africans, we have to show solidarity. these are african valleys. we must be able to promote these values. so if the ivory coast is not in solidarity with an african country, there is a fundamental problem. so we need to show solidarity among africans. it could happen that the ivory and revolt since the crises began allison in his decisions with echo us, as well as the french and other authorities go against the real needs of burkina. faso. seeing that french soldiers are accosted in ivory coast, does not surprise me. when the french presents in african days spike to the colonial era of the 16 hundreds and more recent times,

powers is conduct committee. 3 dozen military ambitions across the continent. in 2013 from florida to operation servile in the states, dame of fighting islam as groups. but failed to carry out that gold operation by cain came next. as france expanded, its military presence for marlisa became a fat. so niger, chad as mauritania. despite the presence of thousands of french troops, they were unable to suppress the terrorist threats. the fruitful operation spoke fierce criticism from africans both in paris to pull the plug in november last year . a journalist one became fond, so told us that any further french military activity is unwelcome in africa. he's also got the ivory coast is this strategic ally of france before independence . it had signed military agreements and all successive governments in ivory coast continued with this military policy except for president lauren backbone. they now have strong ties with friends. so it's political continuity with paris. the

situation is different from other countries, which do not have an economic weight that interests france, such as ivory coast. in any case, the african people more precisely, the african youth are getting fed up with this french supervision, which has lasted too long. during the french presence there, the situation has continued without change. the people are still being attacked by terrorists. in fact, we believe that there is a certain complicity between this country which calls itself a friend and those who attack us. so this is one of the factors that explains this anti french sentiments. secondly, we are at a time when other countries also need partnership with africa gum, which is a strategic continent. more joined. the naval exercises are underway in south africa, together with russia and china. the drills have drawn criticism from the us on this

european allies, which one to other countries to stop cooperating with moscow. but south africa has made it clear that it doesn't take orders from the west as ours is called leg. i'm assuming we're pull 350 members of the south african defense force anticipated in the tri national naval exercise between south africa, the host, russia, and china, south africa has on countless occasions say that this particular exercise is to further strengthen the existing strong ties between itself, russia and china, the surgical inches forces as mostly a relation between china and south of the russian. admiral gosh, golf is one of the participating ships in the drill and is equipped with the new mach 9 hypersonic, vertical muscles which travel its speeds of 9 times that of light and hit targets within 1000 kilometer range. this exercise is not new to these 3 nations. as in

2019, a joint drill between them involved a warship from each nation and as well as several surveys and feuding ships and the south african defense ministry has emphasized that the country has the right to conduct to foreign relations in line with its national interest many continued to criticize south africa's move to host the tri nations naval exercise, especially with moscow involved in the current conflict with a whole. and the problem is, it's been on how to approach told the situation and in the growing relations with a political or economic between south africa,

russia and china will certainly be a contentious form for the whist with some worrying that it could lead to a shift. and the geopolitical balance of power in the region. however, the improved relations between south africa, russia and china so far have led to increased trade between the 3 countries, which has resulted in increased investment opportunities and the creation of jobs, as well as improve security on south african shores that come for me for our t richard space of africa, nigeria, africa, most populous nation, and biggest economy as gearing up for presidential elections this saturday. here in our tea way, bringing you our special coverage of one of the continents most significant votes this year. thing. over 93000000 people are registered for the upcoming vote. with 18 candidates to

choose from the 3 main content is all the former governor from the ruling party abolla ark made to the form of vice president anne's leader of the people's democratic party, to abu bakar, and the youngest of them, the former governor and nominee of the labor party, peter o, b, who is gaining mass popularity among young people. each of them represents a different region of the country and appeals to a different electorate. although many challenges ahead for the future, nigerian leader with the countries immense dead crisis being a major one r t contributor chris ems takes a closer look at the issues the new president will have to face nigeria. one of the most influential, largest african economies, goes to the pol this weekend to let a new president. but is this president due to fail? as an agent continues to grapple with an overwhelming debt crisis, nigeria debt is out of control with many experts same as know how to fix it,

even in the medium term. under the current president, bihari, nigeria is total debt exploited to hold and 6 fold. talking 40 percent of the g d p . not the greatest legacy to leave office with. the hoary has met mass criticism in a failure to fulfill his promises on economic policy since assuming his office in 2050. under his tenure, nigeria is now spending a 100 percent of his economic outlet on servicing its debts. it's credit card is so fully loaded, it has no choice but to borrow off to paying the walking interest on it. he has not been great with economic principles and policies. we want people who have the ability to implement what they say, but how did nigeria end up here? one of the main reason is the obsession that bihari had with net 0 pushed by western heads of state by the powers treating other such initiatives. nigeria, an oil rich nation, has committed what bossy ambitious renewable energy strategy,

right cost. in spite the currently nigeria can only service enough renewable energy to power dismal $3500.00 homes. but that's not the only reason. nigeria isn't the toys for his lack of st services without education, institutions, health care, or even adequate housing for its people. this is called the stagnation, even the decline in nigeria is that are able to entered skill professions and thus generate wheels have tax revenues for the government coffers. the final reason is corruption. with government officials living in san opulence. but even the babylonians, with blush, it's hard to believe that they can afford to live in such a manner, giving their dwindling government salaries. we are deeply concerned with the lack of vigorous scrutiny and attention by the lawmakers in granting requests for loans without reflecting the provisions of the fiscal responsibility act and the greater implication of the nation's economic state. nigeria should not continue to look westward, but to look east, russia and china have

a vastly different investment strategy, investing in the real resources that nigeria desperately needs be that new routes, new hospitals, or well cross universities. a highly skilled nigeria will have a huge impact on africa is not the whole world. we are debt right now is about 35 percent of our g d p. m. that's up to the 3 low when you look at country that to do the p levels. however, we're not generating enough revenue. so i think yes, that's the way to corruption comes in, but not only corruption. i think it's the structural problem with the economy. the fact that a lot of the money that should be due to government, what are you talking about? taxes, duties, rates, fees, fines or what have you end up in people's pocket. so in the pocket of non able to generate the income that we can do a bigger budget. and then if waive and borrowing then the cost of the specific developmental areas. i think from the main talk problem about conception of

neil, where the economy supposed to be heading, what we need is better heads to run the economy. we can get more of a new a. we can do the larger, but they took a wrong, bigger expend, be shop with and korea, which and we come to run the infrastructure and the economy will take off. so we haven't actually started well, once our coverage of the nigerian elections throughout the coming days here on our team will be keeping you fully updated on all the latest news. the thanks for joining us. hey on, on the international web back with more in 30 minutes with .
