justin, as such as i can just plug that on the system a. what i see the senior bus is the little gear lation says diesel to gumbo sub hungary brands the attack on the nord stream pipelines. a terrorist act called for an official view and investigation. stressing, now such an incident can never be repeated. france won't be made a scapegoat for africa as problems or drawn into a tug of war for influence. that's according to president mccall. at of it's for a nation tour of the continent coming and made much recent opposition to power is his presence with smearing china and politicizing that corona virus. progeny. beijing's response to u. s. media politicians,

recent russia of accusation against the country for hunt with broadcasting from moscow. this is our t good, the hub, your company, this our, let's get to our top story an act of terror that can never be allowed to happen again nots. how hungry is prime minister has described the blasts on the nord stream pipelines which tore through the russian under water infrastructure in september. and then 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. then 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 been done with the north stream detonations or earlier,

the hungarian foreign minister call for a united nations investigation into the pipeline at tuck rushes, also demanding a full international inquiry. wherever the un say it can't decide on monitor until the results of the current probe is complete, which is being carried out solely by european countries. one of them, germany, which last year a suspended certification of nord stream 2 is now reportedly planning to buy only use pipes from the project to transport liquefied natural gas. while all those statements follow recent revelations by the pew litter prize winning journalist seymour hers, whose extensive investigation concluded the pipelines were mine by u. s. navy divers last year and he said, washington, news, nato drills of 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 you with officials dismissing hearse his findings as quote speculation and even fiction. but global affairs analyst, george zamarelli notes that certain states which had 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 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 and 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 they to a member. so there is no question is how objective this investigation. 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 said par as isn't for being drawn into a competition for access to africa. the french president's words come ahead of his

upcoming cup across the continent, which could be an eventful one after much recent opposition to francis presence there. here's to take a 40 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 she had us 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 mixed harris and the west in general, really nervous. so now michael 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, we're 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 fokker. 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 inboard keena fossa. it's one of the poorest nations in the world, france prince colonial money from kena faso, which has gold in return. they man that 50 percent of everson, burkina, faso exports ends up in the coffee of the french treasury. the goal that the 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 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 knock hall 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 the influential by using sweetness in handy 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, good guy, image of candy and rainbows, all white washing their militaristic, well, failed, militaristic, and background and militarism, all kind 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 i'm actually working with russia and especially with china economically,

to develop help raising stand living with the death rate. you eliminate poverty in africa. they view it 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 worship and is many in africa including you see china is more favorable light in the united states. and that's because china is really united states in the logically blind to actually building and helping the nation go infrastructure. they will not do it. instead of having this stupid the 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 to relevant laboratory and to hand and holding in debt exchanges with relevant

researchers. the relevant party should start playing on the lot. league theory, stop sneering, 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 who on 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 decides. and it seems like this is being used currently. republicans are bringing this up and using it to call out 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 to 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 that ministration 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 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. germans she in turn to discuss this on holy wine. so 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 wife. 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. 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,

and 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 rampaged by his release. 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 house 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 their parents were 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 the price high with not done only by spoke with the officer in charge of the israeli army. i told him the settlers were burning the house in 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. 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 work at 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 cam 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, 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 them, not citizen. i'm sure that you always spoke to the former director general of israel's foreign ministry. al lawn lee l. allen ha. does party connect that member or for cursive, who both se power in the country is currently held by and i'll train national coalition. think at this stage it was the last, the meanings, anything there is where the government says or the prime minister says has to be checked on the ground, a twisting things it

spinning it. the only thing that matters is what's going on on the ground. and all that wrong from what we see around us, things are going on will settlements, balls that will issues. and the outcome is that the population, it was a growing on. and as you saw yesterday, my becoming bill is so i think it would judge is was on the deeds low on it's was going to expand day man. yeah, i'm going to wait an hour or so a a community so that you can all go and, and you know,

colonial leave it man a cleaning again and on the other talking about it even if they just, you know, i don't want them not to 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 an independence they on the all. ok, a get back in june. i rush is top diploma is expected to visit the indian capital for meeting up to 20 foreign ministers on choose. they know among those also in attendance will be u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking the u. k. change cleverly and china is

expected the sentence. foreign minister can gang our t correspondent region 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 3 day. was it to within the g 24 minutes does meet. now law for all this 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, all dilution trip 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 the us, russian on import search to a record in january in moscow ruins of talk oil supplier to new delhi. but it's not

just 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 aimed to continue working on facilitating trade in local currencies. now what could be discussed in the need is also approaches in cooperation of existing institutions, such as the s 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 multilateralism 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 bangor. 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 unusual sounds on the conflict declining to be rochelle for way to remember in dallas, 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 a neutral stance or new queen you see be shan't be proclaiming since the beginning of the development of the crane, india has insisted on resulting this dispute through dialogue with c and d. ready to contribute to any piece process. so india will have to walk in

a tight diploma to grow up so that under its presidency, the foreign minister mean does not go the same way that the g 20 finance minister meet there are say for example, the same outcome as the g 20 summit in bali in november exposed believe that in the role as to how you level will require a diplomatic balancing act like no. although for this week and for months to come, 20 years ago, a rock agreed to destroy its long range ballistic missiles was required to do so. by the united nations, but the concessions pro frivolous 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 in r t. 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 fleeting with it 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 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 playing football, not caring about the shelling that sometimes we would have to hide. one date, there was a huge explosion. we did not know that a bomb had fallen on us. 3 children were lined dead near me, and i remember that the person who was holding the bull died instantly gossiping, but i was injured in 2000 sakes while i was playing. i have a 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 ah, 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? ah, 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 lived like this. you would ever want to marry me. 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 a you know, gets any compensation even though i submitted all the required documents, only received social welfare payments, amounted to

a 170000 dino's which is completely useless. i that's also presumably the rocky government how to adopt to require 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 use our do check out r t dot com for more and all those stories. and if you're in the mood sleeva comment or to there as well, all was good to hear what you're thinking of. good bye. ah ah, ah, is ending the conflict? can you re on the agenda?

maybe china has offered a proposal there to pick the you pay france and germany are sounding else zalinski received a proposal of the road. oh, will come to nothing. if brushes in prison are not respected. ah, ah russia, these parts of europe, intellectually, politically, even in being to war, peter went styling, was accused of isolating russia with his 5 year flies and so was styling never wanted to exclude does exclude russia from western trade from west to the economist. ah ah, hello, i'm manila chan you were turned into modus operandi. the political lexicon gets

a re brand, traditionally called a coup d'etat, now coined regime change, but the deadly results remain the same. this week will examine the anatomy of a qu. what's it look like? how does one develop and who is most often to blame for the former us marine corps intelligence officer, turned to you and weapons inspector scott ritter. shed some light on the issue. all right, let's get into the m o. ah . i said tomato, you say tomato. i say cool, the u. s. government says regime change when one party or group assumes power by force that usually leads to a lot of bloodshed.
