ah, ah ah ah hungry bronze b i tech on the north stream pipe a calls for an official un investigation stressing that such an incident can never be repeated from this will be made a scapegoat for africa's problems are drawn into a tug of war for influence thereabouts, according to president mac, from events for nation through a company and stop smearing china and politicizing. the corona virus project in beijing responds to us media and politicians. recent rush

of accusations, once again against the asian country, for the pond, ah, life or last go. this is our to my name is you know, illegal on 30 minutes of news abuse starts not an act of terror that can never be allowed to happen again. now it's how hungry is probably minister, has described the blast on the nord stream pipelines which tore through the russian underwater infrastructure back in september. a ben at the north stream explosion was simply a terrorist act was by whoever committed all essex, if it was made that the northern direction should 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 and becca lobby. tony

da, mr. or bonds. colleague, the hungarian foreign minister, coal for a united nations investigation into the pipeline attack. russia's also demanding a full international inquiry wherever the un saying it can't decide on that until the results of the current probe is complete, which is being carried out. so lay by european countries, one of them, germany, which last year suspended certification of north stream 2 is not reportedly planning to buy on use pipes from the project to transport liquefied natural gas. when all those statements follow recent revelations by the pew lists are a prize winning journalist seymour hersh, whose extensive investigation concluded the 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 the reports, president and biden took the final decision and blowing up the infrastructure. after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors, the claims have been denied by both washington on the eve with officials this

missing hearst, his findings as quote speculation, even fiction. but global affairs analysts, george zamarelli notes that certain states which have been fighting terrorism for decades, suddenly aren't keen on having this incident. investigated. hunger is once again a breaking ranks, and of course it's calling a spade a spade and what else is it? but 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 have the base of the un security council loss. we had russians behalf, which russia in russia demanding that of an international investigation be initiated . and the united states, the united kingdom, bronsels or no,

no need to forward. you will just let the competent national authorities investigate will. of course, these competent national authorities, authorities of germany, denmark and sweden, so to nato members and one aspiring nato member. so the question is, how objective this investigation 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. drone strikes were reported on monday, across multiple regions of ukraine. explosions were heard in the capital key f, as well as in various other areas marked here on our map. local authorities, however, elijah drone attack occurred in just one region without specifying if any damage

was caused. meanwhile, ukrainian forces have sheldon times in the russian held up a rosy region. you can see the aftermath of the a talk about the university building, cluster munitions were reportedly used to bombard the civilian side. according to local officials, at least 10 shells struck the roof of the building. was of no or no reports of any castle. all the films amid intensifying battles on the don't both front lines our teeth. igor shit down off. he's in the loop gum script, public l has been following russian troops in the combat. so the front in de la guns republic presents the ultimate challenge in military mass. i see 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 move has to be

factored into the gargantuan equation by both sides. russia planning, it's advance and ukraine holding defensive lines. these grad walker 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 the grown cameras, blinded by weather, rushes to man, sent his 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 a bought them and then soon of work intensively. we have multiple goals. if we constantly push the enemy were satisfied with our results. so then we hit both infantry and ukrainian military equipment. so at a russia has amassed a powerful fire 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 art. see no ammonia micron, safe porous isn't for being drawn into a competition for access to africa. the french president's words come ahead of his upcoming trip across the continent, which could be uneventful, want, after much recent opposition to france's lingering colonial erect footprint there. here's the tech 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 who's in places like molly and jihad is 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 wes fiascos are increasing fiascos and not mix harris 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. frances 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 fulcrum. 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 said 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 of france, prince colonial money from the kena faso, which has gold in return they on the sand, i can resend bertina and is up in the car. fish of the french treasury, the golden, this child goes down the channel to extract mostly ends up in the comfort of the french. thank you. so the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to europe. the solution is to free africa from sat to europeans who exploited and allowed these people to leave of what they have. so now michael wants to build on

that when 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. it seems the mackerel 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 in hope of eventually scoring some natural resources. so basically, the american model not call is now proposing to go in with footballs, french style, philosophical debates, maybe some johnny holiday cds with the hope that all of this might ultimately help to shake loose some sweet, sweet african resources. presumably, 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. but okay,

looks like washington is also trying to see if it can be self serving li, influential by using sweetness and candy instead of bombs. literally, that is what you ask 1st lady joe biden did recently in the media by giving out candy eminem's to kids. of course, all these investments that mark hold talks about will ultimately benefit french firms in africa. that's always been the case with us in western investments on the continent. but it seems like they're trying really hard create this kind of p, r friendly guy, image of candy and rainbows, all white washing, their militaristic, failed militaristic and background of militarism. our kind of trying to portray russia and china as the bad guys. while political and economic analyst on africa, lawrence freeman believes the usaa to towards the continent is all about influence

. the united states in europe is stuck in his own mo, your power. so they can see actually working with russia and especially with china economically to dow, in help raising stand, living, lower the death rate, eliminate poverty in africa. they do really, as we have to maintain control geopolitical control in the see themselves losing a large portion of african nations did not support the resolution attacking russia and is many in africa including you see china is more favorable light in the united states. and that's because china is, believe united states is illogically blind to

actually believe in helping the nation go infrastructure. they will not do it. instead of having this stupid disease called geo politics, we should be looking for ways to work with child to work with other countries and collaborating with african countries to actually develop their economy. stop smearing china and politicizing their corona virus tragedy. those were the words from 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 coven 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 accordance to people who have read the classified report. she and she see

a lovely is extremely unlikely. this is an authoritative scientific conclusion that experts come to china and the world health organization region under visiting the relevant laboratory in though hand and holding in debt exchanges with relevant researchers. irrelevant parties started laying, not be allowed to leave theory and to stop smearing china and stuff. politicizing the issue of origin tracing 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 who on 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's based on new intelligence, but none of the articles presented have any new evidence decides. and it seems like this is being used currently. republicans are bringing this up and using it to call out the, by the administration and demand more hostility to china. the chinese communist

party is not only a menace, but the nature of these regimes as the lights of 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. the 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 c, i a and us intelligence officials stepping forward and calling out china for the possibility of china giving weapons to russia. we see a wide spread demonization of china. and now we have this story about leaks, you know, getting into the media and certainly interesting timing. and it fits in with

a full court all on anti china hysteria from u. s. officials track that they're going to meet next week chairman, she important to discuss this on holy winds that they have to put weapons in the ukraine to me is very disturbing because well, maybe ukraine today as can be taiwan to morrow. note that at this same time, we have 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. once 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 fair to in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. now,

chinese officials reject the reports. i 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 in you asked media's hostility toward china and whipping up the u. s. public to oppose shine and miller story were across the day. the wall street journal has claim north african countries could be re exporting russian all into europe. it comes off the back of a dramatic increase in russian oil imports to the continents alongside an optic, and export of refined oil products from some african states. the media, let's say, is the ultimate origin of those exports can't be determined. north africa is not providing a valuable new market for mosque was all the products after western nation shunned imports over the ukraine crisis. morocco's importance rose by 2000000 borrows last

month while to new jersey is increased by 2800000 with a larger number expected as well. this month. i'll jury and social scientists, toler lie, exact loamy, sees north african countries, depend on the revenue from these oil exports, and have no obligation to follow the west restrictions. hello. so come to the, i mean, the juniors. yeah. and do bunch can only mortal go a bit, he needs a little oil and pits are under a fork. really? so she, for me, it's on from them. it's a good opportunity to put chaise selection. all you did as gov's. and of course, a computer shuttle united a been union, a restriction on sumption. so sure moral co, unsuspicious numerical is depending on the oil and gas. and they have been dealing with. they have been for a button machine company with we go we, we've been staying and of course now with that is an opportunity. i'm sure they

will get did that for they want to be spot sure. what they got from the us and i got go talk to spain, i'm to, to post, you go without the dos you didn't get the assumption not imposed by your opinion, but door soon. jordan shows ought to be notified because so far we don't know exactly what these them shows and the nature of the one they have written today. well, let's keep a focus on north africa because that is where the head of the russian security services arrived in. algeria, on monday to discuss regional security issues, nikolai patricia, i met with the chief of staff, all the algerian army on the country's head of external security cooperation between russia's law enforcement agencies and algeria special services and dominated talks. later the algerian president welcomed the russian diploma. mister

patricia stated to moscow fuse out years as one of its key policy partners in the region on egypt. foreign minister met with syria's president, bashar al assad. turkey is foreign minister a monday, not that marks the 1st visit to the 2 countries in the decade by a top egyptian diplomat. some, a shook re describe this trip as showing solidarity with brotherly people. egypt was among those who 1st delivered humanitarian a history. and despite the fact it broke off ties with the massacres. after the art of spring and 2011, he also visited turkey. yes. pointing to another shift in egypt. foreign ties there . he met with the turkish foreign minister, where the 2 visited the ports to be of merson were egyptian ship arrived on monday to deliberate. earlier we spoke with egypt, former deputy f. m, who sees the political significance of this visit, will lead to

a new stage of relations between the 3 nations that we do have. and this is a message that the egypt is and named me that many is willing to burn the page and normalize relations with bows. and we have to take into, i found that there is a background. this is not something new for the last year in nations, new egypt and who had been warming up as far as ca, fostering we're meeting the senior official intelligence services, visits of the foreign minister who masked and turkey could harold in new states in the relations between

these ah, 20 years ago today, a rock agreed to destroy its long range ballistic missiles as required to do so by the united nations. but the concessions proved fruitless with the u. s. and allies launching an invasion that left a trail of destruction in the country, killing hundreds of thousands of people. here an rti where chronicling the u. s. war on terror in iraq to decades on 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 gray. with

food medicine and fleet with will i took just over one month for the us, some partners shock and awe campaign to take control of baghdad. whoever u. s. trips only officially withdrew in 2011. over those years, the lives of countless numbers of civilians were shattered. oh, i was a teenager in the tachi area, there was an army training camp and weapons depots and the sites was subjected to heavy bombardment by merican forces. we would seen ages and we were playful, bull not caring about the shelling. sometimes we would have to hide one date, there was a huge explosion. didn't know that the bomb had fallen on us. 3 children lined dead man, me and i remembered that the person who was holding the bull died instantly of me,

but i was injured in 2006. when i was playing, i heard heavy shooting and then suddenly a mortar landed near me. i was only a child in the time i was injured in 2008 when i was just riding my bicycle when suddenly i was spinning. landed on my back and could see my entire stomach hopin and intestines on the ground. o o. the number of iraqi martyrs who were killed by american forces and car bombs is nearly $250000.00 the injured are more than $500000.00. what did they do to deserve this? what has been achieved by invading iraq under the pretext of having weapons of mass destruction. where are those weapons of mass destruction?

ah, my life got worse. i left school, i couldn't walk and my abdomen was cut open life wise. my life is over, as i can't even get a job my life end and and my future was lost. this destroyed my mother and father especially badly. and after a while they died one after the other. after i lost my faults, the injury affected my life in a major way. i told myself, my life is over. i was just a teenager. i would i live like this. you would ever want to marry me? ah, ah, ah, ah. the murder and destruction of the iraqi people is a genocide perpetrated by us forces the entry of isis and the further killing of iraqi people. and the security forces are all because of americans. we have

evidence and certified documents that prove the u. s. bond and iraqi police patrol simply for being in an area controlled by the u. s. o. with her on it. and you know, gets any compensation even though i submitted all the required documents and only received social welfare payments, monthly, 200000 denazi's, which is completely useless. i. that's also presumably the rocky government. how to dr. required measure and compensate a wounded at least financially considering they haven't even made any moral apologies. oh, america did not compensate the iraqi people for even one diener of its bombings, which destroyed and humiliated the people of iraq. all injuries have been documented. and the united states knows this. unfortunately, the killing and blood shedding of iraqi people continues. there is no deterring any

will. of course, the 2003 conflict wasn't the 1st u. s. campaign waged against the rock in 1990 following the iraqi invasion of kuwait then us president george bush senior, kicked off operation desert storm. some 3000 civilians are estimated to have been killed, as well as up to 50000 iraqi troops. earlier, my colleague lori sushi. so to desert storm veteran daniel bosworth who compared the 2 military interventions in iraq in 199091. we had all the military equipment soldiers. we were stopped at the border of iraq. they lead saddam hussein's stay in power to keep the region stable. right? because you have iran, iraq, i believe in 199091 had the 4th largest military. what then why in 2003. they

wanted to take him out of power when they know it's going to open a vacuum, but was saddam hussein a direct threat now to the united states? no. was he a direct threat to the people of the united states? no, in my opinion, i don't believe so. why do you think, daniel, that america, england and somebody, nato allies? why do you think they chose the middle east? one i believe oil. i and to i believe, to make the middle east unstable. there are certain people who like to control through fear. and if you make to the middle east, unstable, and then you, you keep pushing the narrative terrace roof. i believe this is a way that they're able to control the people with fear and to be able to have the opportunity to invade other countries. and do you think though,

do you think that, you know, you said the oil was so important for going into iraq, d ready thing oil. was that important for going and know in the year 2000 there were 7 countries who did not join the u. s. a central bank and look to 1001. i've kind of sent 2003 iraq, 2011 livia and syria. then off of that. yeah. he just, you know, just makes me think that is a motive for invading a country. you mentioned these countries here who essentially got invaded over the past 20 odd years. general wesley clark near forced our general that he, he came out, he actually started talking publicly about this didn't. he said i, i came up, a commander came into my office one day through a stack of papers on my table and said, we're going to me invading 5 countries and 7 years or something like that, wasn't it? right? so you know the story as well.
