that's exclusive of everybody for white people. ah, ah, ah hungry brown, the north stream pipelines a terrorist doctor called for an official view and investigation stressing, now such an incident can never be repeated. france will be made a scapegoat for africa problems or drawn into a tug of war for influence. that's according to president micron. head of it's for a nation tour of the continent coming. i made much recent opposition to partners his presence with hearing child politicizing that corona

virus. roger date, that's beijing's response to you as media. i'm politicians, recent rush of accusations against the country for a broad cow thing from moscow. this is our a t good. the your company, this our, let's get to our top story on the terror that can never be allowed to happen again. now, how hungry prime minister has described the blasts on the nord stream pipelines which tore through the russian under water infrastructure in september. a ben, the nord stream explosion was simply a terrorist act by whoever committed it if it was made at the northern direction, just so that europe wouldn't receive gas from russia. that it can also be done in the south. together with serbia, we made it clear that if this ever happens, it won't be possible to get away with it so easily to sweep it under the rug like

it's currently being done with the north stream detonations. well, earlier the hungarian foreign minister call for a united nations investigation into the pipeline at tag rush is also demanding a full international inquiry. wherever the un saint count decide on march until the results of the current probe is complete, which is being carried on solely by european countries. one of them, germany, which last year suspended certification of north stream 2 is now reportedly planning to buy on use pipes from the project to transport liquefied natural gas. will all those statements follow recent revelations by the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour herse, whose extensive investigation concluded the pipelines were mine by u. s. navy divers, last year, he said, washington used nato drills as cover for the operation with assistance from norway

. according to his report, president biden took the final decision and blowing up the infrastructure. after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors. the claims, by the way, have been denied by both washington on the eve with officials dismissing hearses findings as quote speculation. and even fiction, but global affairs analyzed, jord zamarelli notes that certain states which have been fighting terrorism for decades suddenly aren't keen on having this incident investigate under is once again the 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 have the debate at the un security council last week at russia's

behalf, which russia and russia demanding that of an international investigation be initiated . and the united states, the united kingdom, bronsels or no, no need for it. we'll just let the competent national authorities investigate both close 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 was how objective this investigation is. and these 3 countries all said, well, we really don't know anything. this investigation is ongoing and 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. it's not usually that patient to another of our headline stories a manual,

michael save par as 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 an eventful one after much recent opposition to francis presence there. here's the take of our t contributor, rachel marci. let's face it, knock holes, big new french strategy in africa speech. it 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 insecurity and counter terrorism operations lead to who's in places like molly and jihadists running around with about as much discipline as french kids on a school break, 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 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. 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 thought. hm. so it was the currency that existed in france before the euro. he referred to it as one of france as big contributions to the continent. but here's what italian prime minister jersey

maloney sad about this ca hawk in 2018 where so monday, you know, this is a child who acts in a gold mine in booking our fossa. it's one of the poorest nations in the world, france prince colonial money for burkina faso, which has gold in return. they round at 60 percent of everson, burkina, faso, exports and jump in the coffee of the french treasury. the goal that these child goes down the channel 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 sachi europeans who exploit it and allow these people to leave off what they have. 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. 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 lee influential by using sweetness in handy instead of bombs. literally, that is what you as 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 to create this kind of p, r friendly, good guy, image of candy and rainbows, all white washing their militaristic, well, failed, militaristic and background of militarism. all kinds of trying to portray russia and china as the bad guys. none the story. we also heard from political and economic analyst on africa, lawrence freeman, who's on the viewed the u. s. substitute towards the continent is all about influence. the united states in europe is stuck in all mo, your power. so they can see are actually working with russia

and especially with china economically developed in help raising stand living with the death rate. you eliminate poverty in africa. the you, as we have to maintain control your political control and 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 building united states in the logic blind to actually believe in helping the nation build infrastructure. they will not do instead of having this stupid disease called geo politics. we should be looking for ways to work with and work

with other countries. and collaborating with african countries to actually develop their can stop smearing china and politicizing their corona virus tragedy. those were the words earlier from the chinese foreign ministry spokesman in response to recent us. 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, according 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 from china and the world health organization reached after visiting the

relevant laboratory and through hon and holding in debt exchanges with relevant researchers. the relevant party should start playing on the lot league theory, stop smearing china and stop 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 lab league, but that hasn't stopped all the major us 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 to site. and it seems like this is being used currently. republicans are bringing this up and using it to call out the bible administration and demand more hostility to shine. the chinese communist party is not only a menace, but the nature of these regimes is to live for 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 ministration also begin to work immediately with our partners and allies around the world to hold the chinese communist party accountable. iming. as 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 demonization of china and now we have this story about leaks, you know, getting into the media. it's 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 in turn 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 fit in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. now, chinese officials reject the report 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 jain to the middle east where palestinian authorities have condemned the rampage by is really settlers in the west bank ton of hoof. dora saying the israeli government is fully responsible for the instant, at least one palestinian was killed and more than a 100. others turned it in the violence. dozens of cars, as you can see here, were burned during the attack as well, while multiple homes were also set ablaze and damaged by the settlers. locals alleged these really army was protecting the attackers and not the palestinians. one heis was also reportedly torched over night, while a palestinian family was still inside. i felt that it would be the last day that i live in this world because the appearance was scary. and for the 1st time they

burned houses in our vicinity. because usually they would come and scream and go, but this night was the most dangerous because they burned houses and chorus for that price high. lou lou not got done own by spoke with the officer in charge of the israeli army. i told him, the settlers were burning the house. my house caught fire. i have children and women. he told me to enter the house or i will shoot. you just neighbors tried to help us, but the occupation army prevented them with the civil defense. came to extinguish the fire, but the army pushed them back. the occupation was directly supporting them, encouraging them to reach the stage. what the destruction and chaos came just hours after to julius is really brothers. were killed in a shooting by a palestinian in the same tone. the shooter we believe is still at large. for the chaotic scenes in response to the brothers debts came despite appeals for com, from the israeli authorities, despite bay many se,

humming also engaged in nationalists rhetoric. the country security minister called on the israeli settlers to leave the punishment of the who vara, shooter, to the state. i mean, i want to say something about what happened in who warren, i understand the harsh images, but this is not the way we don't take the law into our own hands. it is the government, the muster to terrorists and fight. they're not citizen, i'm sure that maybe we spoke to the former director general of israel's foreign ministry. al lawn lee l islands ha, dash party kinessa member or for cursive. who both sate power in the country is currently held by and i'll train nationalist coalition. think at this stage, words lost the meanings. anything that is where the government says or the prime minister says, has to be checked on the ground in this such an event,

wrinkled for twisting things, a spinning it. the only thing that matters is what's going on on the ground and on the ground. what we see around us. things are going on both settlements, both that will issues and the outcome is that the population, it was a growing all the time. and as you saw yesterday, like becoming bill is so i think it would judge is we're only the only words they are going to expand day man. they are going to an outpost. so i'm stuck with

a community. so it cannot go hand in hand. you know, colonial, it meant a reset, occupation, a cleaning again and on the other hand, talking about it, even if they just, you know, i kind of buying what they're not, can go to get them the only way. the only way to stop the stop the violence and we do one divided by leaving the occupation and allowing them to leave a state of their own, you know, over in dependency on the old. ok. a in june 9, 67. russia's top diploma is expected to visit the indian capital for a meeting of g. 20 foreign ministers on tuesday. among those also in attendance

will be us secretary of state anthony blank and the case james, cleverly and china is expected to send its foreign minister. can gang r t correspond in the room? june sharma has been looking at what's expected from the upcoming high profile gathering. the russian foreign minister will arrive in new delhi for a 20, was it to with then the g. 24 minutes just meet. now love her all with india is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing bilateral dies between the 2 countries. as western sanctions against russia have meant that by default, corporation between the 2 countries has accelerated. our relationship with russia, i think, has been extraordinarily study. it has been studied through all the tub luncheon in global politics. so as i said, again, you know, the opposition, perhaps it's their job to criticize, it would be nice if they do it with a little bit more information. and i could issue in dallas, russian,

all imports search to a record in january in moscow ruins the top oil supplier to new delhi. but it's not energy. other sectors as well. for example, there's been a nearly 400 percent jump in russian merchandise and boards. now the 2 countries also in to continue working on facilitating trade in local currencies. now what could be discussed in the need is also approaches and cooperation of existing institutions, such as the f, c, u, and bricks. this meeting is one of the biggest events ahead of the final g 20 summit in september this year. and for the more the government for this meeting, the focus really will be on multi lateralism need for reforms and food and no g security. now the challenge for india is that these very real issues could be

overshadowed by the west and demands for india to condemn russia. something that we saw last week in the g 20 finance ministers meet in bank lou. it is our hope that india will use their influence with russia to support an end to this conflict. and as foreign minister j shankar has said and to the conflict according to the principles of the un charter. but in the of largely kept a neutral stance on the conflict. declining to be rochelle for way to remember, india been seeking a solution to dialogue and diplomacy. india also consistently abstained from you and was against more school diplomatic sources. say that india will continue to maintain neutral stems or new queen u. c. b shall be procurement since the beginning of the development of the crane, india has insisted on resolving this. dispute through dialogue was c and

d ready to contribute to any piece process. so india would have to walk in a tight diplomatic rule so that under its presidency, the foreign minister mean does not go the same way. but the g 25 minutes to meet there are say for example, the same outcome as the g 20 summit in bali in november exposed. believe that in the roll at the highest level will require a diplomatic balancing act like no. although for this week and 4 months to come, the 20 years ago, a rack agreed to destroy its long range ballistic missiles are required to do so by the united nations. but the concessions proof reckless with the u. s. and allies launching an invasion that left a trail of destruction in the country, killing hundreds of thousands of people who are naughty, where chronicling the us 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 and medicine. and fleet with they took just over one month for the u. s. sun partners, shock and awe campaign to take control of baghdad. however,

u. s. troops only officially withdrew in 2011. over the span of those years, the lives of countless numbers of civilians were shattered. oh, i was a teenager in the tardy area. there was an army training camp and weapons depos in the sites was subjected to heavy bombardment by merican forces. we were teenagers and we were playing football not caring about the shelling that sometimes we would have to hide. one date, there was a huge explosion. we didn't know that a bomb had fallen on us. 3 children were lying dead near me, and i remembered that the person who was holding the bull died instantly with gossiping, but i was injured in 2000 sakes. while i was playing, i heard heavy shooting and then suddenly a mortar landed near me. i was only a child of the time. i was injured in 2008 when i was just riding my bicycle when suddenly i was spinning. i landed on my back and could see my entire stomach hopin

and intestines on the ground. ah, oh, the number of iraqi martyrs who were killed by american forces and car bombs is nearly 250000. the injured are more than 500000. 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? oh, my life got worse. i left school i couldn't walk and my abdomen was cut open. life weiss, 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 foot, 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? oh, oh. oh. oh. 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 us. oh, with it on it. i know gets any compensation even though i submitted all the required documents,

only receive social welfare payments, amounted to a $170000.00 dino's which was completely useless. i found that so presumably, dear 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 dena, 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 me . that brings to a close, a busy news. our do check out r t dot com for more and all those stories. and if you're in the moods leave a comment or 2 there as well. all was good to hear what you're thinking of. goodbye

with . ah, ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm funeral about is ending the conflict in ukraine on the agenda. maybe china has offered a proposal. it appears the u. k. france and germany are sounding out the zalinski regime on a proposal of their own. all will come to nothing if russia's interests are not

respected. ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, martin j america. she's an award winning journalist and commentator. and in budapest we have george semi while he's a podcast or at the goggle, which can be found on youtube and locals, or a gentleman crossed up rules in effect. that means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate it. i start out with george in budapest, george, you know, is peace in the air. i mean, there piece proposals coming out now that you know, the chinese have come, come out with a 12 point program. what's coming out of the u. k. france and germany is a bit unclear, but it is being, it's making the rounds that they're sounding out. as i said in my introduction as zalinski regime on how to move forward. i think there's some kind of reckoning going on here, but it doesn't mean it's going to end well hear your thoughts on.
