[000:00:00;00] with a hungry brown b, i tell nord stream pipelines to risk back down coals write you an investigation. stressing up such an incident can never be repeated. also, problems will be made a scapegoat for africa. problems are rolled into a tug of war for influence. their so say is president my problem i had of is for nation through the come here. i think the authorities, the 9th is really settlers for their part in violent riots in the west bank, which left at least one left to me and dead and wounded more than

a 100. it follows the killing of 2 jewish israelis in the same town and a shooting attack on sunday. okay. but we are not afraid of them. is really army or protecting the settlers. but if you try to protect yourself, the army will attack, you will spray you with, well, this is a pressure where they are attacking us inside our houses and you have no right to defend yourself. oh. 0 no, jerry, a wait, see, who will lead it with vote counting on their way early results from the countries presidential parliamentary election are emerging with wherever you're counting the program from today across the world. welcome to moscow then use our on our to ensure an act of terror that can never be allowed to happen again. that's how hungry prime minister has described the blast on the nord stream

pipelines which tore through the russian infrastructure back in september. a ben at the north stream explosion was simply a terrorist act was by whoever committed a $1.60 it was made at the northern direction. shoot just of europe wouldn't receive gas from russia that it can also be done in the south who has an area together with serbia. again, we made it clear that if this ever happen easy, you won't be possible to get away with it solute to sweep it under the rug like it's currently been done with the north stream of detonations amber cal abby gone well earlier they hungarian foreign minister colon for a united nations investigation into the pipeline attack rush is also demanding a full international inquiry over the u. n. c's 8 count. decide all about until the results of the current probe is complete. not being carried out so late by european countries, not one of them. germany, which last year suspended certification of,

nor to stream to is no reportedly planning to buy and use pipes from the project to transport liquefied natural gas. the statements follow recent revelations by the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour herse, whose extensive investigation concluded that pipelines were mine by u. s. navy divers, in june last year. he also said washington used nato drills as cover for the operation with assistance from norway. according to his report, president biden took the final decision on blowing up the infrastructure. after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors, the claims have been denied by both washington and the you with officials this missing hurst, his findings as good speculation, and even fiction or global affairs, unless george zamarelli notes that certain states which have been fighting terrorism for decades suddenly aren't keen on having this incident. investigated under is once again a breaking ranks. and of course it's calling a spade a spade. and what else is it bought the terrorist attack?

and what is particularly striking is that the countries that spend the better part of 2 decades waging a so called global war on terror seem remarkably uninterested in what actually happens. so we had the debate at the un security council last week at russia's behalf, which russian russia demanding that of an international investigation be initiated . and the united states, the united kingdom, bronsels said no, no, no need to forward, you will just let the competent national authorities investigate both close to these competent national authorities, audio authorities of germany, denmark, and sweden. so to nato members, and one aspiring nato member. so there is no question as to how objective this investigation is. and these 3 countries all said, well, we really don't know anything. this investigation is ongoing. i don't expect any results,

any time in the near future. so it's extraordinary that the united states is showing such amazing patients about finding out the truth. not usually that patient . now drone strikes were reported on monday, across multiple regions of ukraine. explosions were heard in the capital, key of as well as in various other areas marked here on our mob. local authorities however, allege a drone attack occurred in just one region without at specifying if any damage was caused. middle ukrainian forces, hub shell, that tone in the russian held south at rosier region. you can see the aftermath all via talk here the to the university building, ukrainian artillery, reportedly used, cluster and munitions to bombard the civil. according to local officials, at least 10 shell struck the roof of the building. now,

there are no reports of any casual lot comes amid intensifying bottles on the don baths front lines. our teeth eager shit down off is in the loo. ganske republic has been following russian troops in the combat. so the front and the la guns republic presents the ultimate challenge in military mass, icy country roads turn to swampy mud and freeze again in a span of hours. low lands are covered with fog. down toes and snow falls, impede visibility, paralyzing the work of spotters and anti tank crews. all this and more has to be factored into the gargantuan equation by both sides. russia, planning in advance and grain holding defensive lives. with these grad walk, it launches can hit targets up to 40 kilometers away. not only does this range

provide relative safety, but also flexibility in picking the best firing position with the best conditions with with these grad crews, will they make an immediate escape? very often here in the dumbass, everything that separates you between life and death is just minutes. ukrainian forces can be very precise and very quick with return fire. even with grown cameras, blinded by weather rushes,

command centers pack plenty of intelligence data. the frontline is vast, but there's only a handful of places where a key forces have developed a habit of masking their equipment or about them and think sooner we work and pensively. we have multiple goals. we constantly pushed the enemy were satisfied with our results. so we hit both infantry and ukrainian military equipment order. russia has a most a powerful 5 fist here and is now probing ukraine's defenses. key of troops in turns scatter their perimeters with hundreds of mines. a clear sign that they've abandoned hopes they once cherished to deal another blow to the russian army. here, i'm a good done of reporting from the dumbass oxy, former u. s. secretary of state condo, lisa rice, us express dots about ukraine's ability to become a member of nato. as it entails the block needing to come to it's the fence

militarily. ukraine should be allowed into nato. well, that's going to be a hard lift because of the article 5, an attack up on one is an attack upon all guarantee of nato. and, but i was to take that vote. that's right. but i do think that what we've seen is that ukraine is de facto now, a very strong ally of nato, and vice versa. will nato has been reluctant to engage with russia directly instead, continuing to support the conflict through weapons provided to the ukranian army and quite a lot of them. article 5, by the way, you just heard it there in the blocks monday, guarantees, military protection for all member states under the north atlantic treaty umbrella . and he always spoke with policy analysts, john cadillac. he says, the reason nato as silencing key of desire to join the alliance is the potential for ukraine to trigger that very defense. one of the issues with ukraine becoming a member is if it doesn't have

a stable relationship with the russian federation, there is a fear that any time the russian federation did anything that the govern, any government of ukraine did. like if they were a member of nato, they would start screaming, article 5, article 5, article 5, and it would just drain the, the ethos of nato. so, you know, that's another reason why most natal members which just wish the ukrainians would be quiet about this. you know, nato ascension, and focus on what their day job is and their day job is dealing with the conflict with the russian federation and, and dealing with what they need to do internally. manual macro said par as isn't for being drawn into the competition for access to africa. the french

president's words came ahead of his upcoming trip across the continent, years to take on lots of art contributor rachel marston. let's face it now, cause big new french strategy in africa. speech was always going to be about how paris was going to maintain a foothold in africa after being booted out of its traditional stomping grounds. so that's a hell region where it's stability and security and counter terrorism operations lead to coups, in places like molly and jihadists running around with about as much discipline as french kids on a school greg talk about terrorists. so african countries are increasingly opting for deeper cooperation with russia and china as a result of basically france and west fiascos are increasing fiascos. and that makes paris and the west in general, really nervous. so now macro has just announced that he suddenly does not believe in military contests between countries. i guess because france is losing on that

footing in africa. so he's just going to change the rules. now. i mean, kind of like we did in preschool and we are playing games. we didn't like that. we were losing, he basically said that africa should not be reduced to grounds for a military measuring contest. so he's declaring a quote, end of a cycle for france in africa. francis military footing has been used by others. he says to say that france only had a security agenda. so what is michael's big idea now? well, there was a clue that was going to be about money when he made a positive reference in his speech, frances financial community of africa's fall come. so it was the currency that existed in france before the euro. he referred to it as one in france as big contributions to the continent. but here's what italian prime minister jersey maloney sat about the ca, park in 2018 where so monday, you know, this is a child who acts in

a gold mine in burkina faso. it's one of the poorest nations in the world, france prince colonial money for the kena faso, which has gold in return they on the 6th, at the sound of everson, burkina, faso exports and opened the coffin of the french treasury. the goal, the discharge goes down the tunnel to extract mostly ends up in the coffee of the french state. so the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to europe . the solution is to free africa from saturday. europeans who exploited on our loudest people to leave off for the half. so that currency of 14 different african nations is printed in france. and it involves are up until 2020 involve having 50 percent of its foreign exchange reserves of those countries based in an operational account in the bank of france. and it's also paid to the euro. and michael said that it was a great thing because it helped them get up to standards for investors globally.

and so now michael wants to build on that, where he considers a wonderful symbol of french african cooperation, which is quite controversial for a lot of africans, especially with respect to sovereignty over their own currency. to focus on investments in health care, education, digital technology, sports culture, small business, all back by what he calls a european team. so here comes teen you. he mentioned a desire to work with civil society in africa several times. so all this amounts to him, what is basically an innovative new concept. it seems that michael has literally just discovered soft power. so instead of going into african countries under the pretext of helping with security and sticking around long after the situation gets even worse and hope of eventually scoring some natural resources. so basically, the american model knock hall is now proposing to go in with footballs, french style, philosophical debates, maybe some johnny holiday cds,

maybe some french arts, and some cash for n g o workers who can service french influences in a digital space probably. and, and on the ground offer for and with the hope that all of this might ultimately help to shake loose some sweet, sweet african resources. presumably macaroni even said quote, we are going to do calming good. and he said, you can't take people for imbeciles. he said that france is going to defend its interests, but also do a respectfully of africans. not sure how admitting that you're taking a different approach to manipulating them as being respectful and not taking africans for imbeciles. but okay, looks like washington is also trying to see if it can be self serving li, influential by using sweetness and handy instead of bombs. literally, that is what you ask 1st lady jill, by them did recently in the media by giving out candy eminem's to kids. of course,

all these investments that michael talks about will ultimately benefit french firms in africa. that's always been the case with us and western investments on the continent. but it seems like they're trying really hard to create this kind of p, r friendly, good guy, image of handy and rainbows, all white washing, their militaristic people, failed militaristic and background and militarism. all kind of trying to portray russia and china as the bad guys stop smearing china and politicizing. the corona virus. tragedy loves the quote. the view of the chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman in response to recent u. s. claims that the pandemic was likely china's fault. the u. s. energy department has concluded that the covert pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to

a classified intelligence report recently provided to the white house and key members of congress. the energy department made its judgment with low confidence, according to people who have read the classified report. a la blake is extremely unlikely. this is an authoritative scientific conclusion that experts from china and the world health organization region after visiting the relevant laboratory in blue hand and holding and exchanges with relevant research as to the relevant policy. laying on the lead theory, stop smearing china and stuff politicizing the issue of origin tracing. well, that's cross live now it took us corresponding killer, my pen. hi there, caleb, there does appear to be of late a recent full court press of sorts from the u. s. a both the pandemic doesn't there take us through that, and perhaps it's timing as well. well, the report sites,

only 2 officials from the u. s. department of energy and they say they have low confidence that this comes from a lab that it was a lab league, but that hasn't stopped all the major u. s. mainstream media outlets from running with this story. now the report also says it can, it's based on new intelligence, but none of the articles presented have any new evidence decide it seems like this is being used. currently, republicans are bringing this up and using it to call out the by the administrator demand more hostility to shine. here's what we fur off. so we have all fact the chinese communist party is not only a menace, but the nature of these regimes is to lie to the world and we need to make that clear to people. the chinese communist party is evil. it's forest killed, millions and see will stop at nothing to destroy the u. s. it's time to hold this evil regime accountable. i'm glad the department of energy recognizes this reality

. it's past time to make the chinese communist party pay. it is critical that administration also begin to work immediately with our partners and allies around the world to hold the chinese communist party. accountable. iming is of course, very suspect. we see prominent cia and us intelligence officials stepping forward and calling out china for the possibility of china giving weapons to russia. we see a widespread immunization of china. and now we have this story about leaks, you know, getting into the media. certainly interesting timing. and it fits in with a full court all on antique china hysteria from u. s. officials. here's some of what we've heard. fact that they're gonna meet next week chairman she in turn to discuss this unholy winds that they have to put weapons in the ukraine to me is very disturbing because well, maybe ukraine today is going to be tie one tomorrow. note that at this same time,

we add the united states pumping weapons on to the island of taiwan into the philippines, up playing up the idea that china is a danger. certainly parallels a similar escalations that were done with ukraine. let's take note while we achieve the level of success we've achieved in ukraine, a big part of that has been because after russian aggression in 20142015, we honestly got off to preparing for future conflict training for the ukrainians. pre positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate, support, sustain operations. we call that setting the theater, and we're setting the fit in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. now, chinese officials reject the reports and say that it's simply not accurate. and that it fits in with a pattern demonizing, china from the united states and u. s. media. and it's fair to say that around the world, there's also a lot of skepticism. however,

this seems to be the latest escalation. and you asked media as hostility toward china and whipping up the u. s. public to oppose china. taken us through that, the ortiz killer, my pin, ah, palestinian authorities have condemned a rum page by is really settlers in the west bank ton of who warren saying the israeli government is fully responsible for the incident. at least one palestinian was killed and more than a 100 others wounded in the violence. dozens of cars, as you can see here, were burned during the attack as well. while multiple homes were set ablaze and damaged by the centers. locals alleged these really army was protecting the attackers and not the palestinians. look up, put your thought, we are not afraid of them, the israeli army, or protecting the settlers american. but if you try to protect yourself, the army will attack you and spray you with gas look law. this is a pressure when they are attacking us inside our houses and you have no right to

defend yourself. oh god, oh my god, my loss of so little with omen de on. i went out of a shop. i could pick up the word or who works for me here. all 400 settlers burning the shouted that they burned the container, returned the warehouse as it burned. the storehouse for electrical appliances always joined the house just so, but they didn't leave anything. they even throw a tear gas bombs so that those inside would die and suffocate, family destruction they came bearing hatred in with not only above the machine. so he'd really army. i told him, the settlers were burning the house. my house caught fire, i have children and women will. he told me to enter the house or i will shoot you. our neighbors tried to help us, but the occupation army prevented them from the civil defense. came to extinguish the fire, but an army pushed them back la, the occupation was directly supporting. no one courage now to reach the stage were connected at one house was also reportedly torched over night, while

a palestinian crumley will skim inside. the really prime minister leader made a statement condemning the violence uncalled for the army to do its job. he also promised to find the culprit. now the destruction and chaos came just hours after 2 as really brothers were killed in a drive by shooting by a palestinian gunman. in the same time, the shooter is believed to still be at large. a dash party connects it member for a captive, believes the only peaceful resolution to the conflict is for israel to stop in his words occupying post indian love and the man and the extension of the man including outposts which are no less than miss lacy severally against the policy and they said very clearly even yesterday and today in the way a goes out to wait for the hearing the plan on,

but i just went home with a and again just a few minutes ago. so i'm going to extend the man. i'm going to leave the outpost. so i'm stuck. she says is unfair. the community so is that you cannot go hand in hand. you know, colonial man reaches your patient cleaning again, and i'm talking about it just, you know, i use my doctor and we'll go to get them the only way to stop and stop the violence. and we do one divided by

the occupation and allowing them to leave my started at this stage, they're all over in independence. they on their own. okay. right there in june or i to the latest developments we go from the general election in nigeria vote counting. it's under way to determine the next president and parliament of africa, the most populous nation. ah well, 3 main front runners are vying for the precedent. safe preliminary results show the people to a democratic parties, a t qu, elbow, but car, how secured one western and 4 northern states and the ruling. busy all progressives, congress is bullet to new booming while also finishing ahead in 5 areas all in the west, while the labor parties, peter, oh,

we got more at votes in the state of new good and most significantly, lagos. it's the 1st time this century that mr. to new who has not taken nigerian largest city r t africa corresponding corolla top, it breaks down the historical importance of that region and explains the complexity of what it takes to come out on top in the nigerian ballot. now the thing about winning lay was, is that no political party has ever won the nigerian local elections by not winning leg was state. that's how important lego state is. it's the most popular state. it is way everybody flocks for better economy opportunity for better livelihood. for opportunity in general, labor has written history in a sense that they were able to achieve this, even though they do not have such a major lead in other states. the thing that must be remembered is that it is

written in nigeria, federal law. it is federal law that no party, regardless of how many vote it gets that no single party is able to win the national elections if it does not achieve with 25 percent of the votes in at least 24 states. that means that means that mr. denovo as extends, could win the elections if we were counting lowly on majority numbers. but if he does not need that threshold, that allows him to win 25 percent in at least $24.00 states. he will not be president, and that puts left the t cool abaca in the c in the front seat as it were. and it leaves him even though he's got a lower percentage in terms of numbers, it leaves him in the lead. so mr. to know who really has some work to do his party

still has some groundwork to do if it's going to claim any legitimacy with regards to winning this particular elections. or some states will still be, are going to count that some states will still be going ahead and conducting the elections all over again, due to a myriad of reasons from disruption to intimidation, to violence. but these electrons do not really has a favorable lights on the independent national electoral commission. the officials of the electoral commission, the officials themselves think that they did not even get their stipend, that they were basically forced to conduct the elections on a hungry stomach. that they were not given adequate security. that they were supposed to contact the security and conduct the elections. you have people contesting the care of the independent national electoral commission himself saying that they shouldn't be announcing the results of each state of any state. in fact,

considering the dispute that have been lodged against that top of the, of the, of the complaint list, as it were, is the fact that people think that these results do not really represent what has happened on the ground. people to this day complain about the fact that results when a transmitted live, which was what the b versus. ringback was supposed to encourage and to enable nigeria to do the b versus them to you and i is the biometric system that was introduced for this particular election is only rang once. and it's only ren at a, at a localized election states before it was adopted. nationwide were having issues or polluting their result yesterday which will become much a concern to nigeria. and i think it is our areas are an actual walk on see how they can improve on from people. are finding it very difficult to login on that some people have also complain about some of the data is also

a green lock. that's who i don't know what the technical issues are. i don't know what the technicality is, but the moment i go back to our situation room we, i, t people on bruce way in charge of the, of the pop out where the, where we have challenges. i leave after lynch is. i want to find out the mitchell boost alleges, love to have done, really listen to them and in those challenges. so i'm, i, i'm slightly deficient when it comes to disrupt technology. still, the chairperson of the independent electoral commission continues to, to count the numbers to count the votes and, and, and also declare things, even though the potty agents. in that same a brew joe hung gris center. i really denying him the opportunity to do just that. co rabo la tata, so a lot at stake house he was going trinity is
