then he, i don't know what kind of defense mean loaded and freedom in the computer, which is why the goldman venetian. why here is that it is your confidence level audio because of the logic or do you have a skill as a human being to utilize the technology for the benefit and to create value and welfare society. so it is your knowledge. you will always be interesting debate, isn't it? and that is where we leave things for now. i from the r t international news room, but our programs, they are just beginning see what showing wherever you are today, right. bye for now, with 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 great. who's

with proof, we will bring to the iraqi people, food, and medicines, and supplies. and freedom with it's getting harder and harder for the west to align their words with reality. it's coin state. ukraine is in big trouble and things are only expected to get worse. the west is struggling to put an end to accomplish good. never should have been fought in the 1st place. ah, hello, i'm manila chand. you are tuned into modus operandi. a devastating natural disaster

is known to mobilize the international community to pause on politics and help our fellow man. so when multiple major earthquakes near a 8 point, oh, on the richter scale, hit southern turkey and northwest syria, only one of those countries saw immediate help from abroad. swing will examine the politics of humanitarian aid. when disaster strikes, who got it? and who was left to die. all right, let's get into the ammo. the me, the images are horrible, entire city blocks crumbling as the cameras roll on innocent civilians, babies to great grandmothers, all trapped under debris as hold buildings are reduced to rubble. when pre dawn earthquakes measuring nearly 8 point on the richter scale hit parts of southern

turkey and northwest regions of syria. this cross border crisis killing nearly 50000 people so far with that death toll expected to continue to climb. in turkey, the response from the international community was swift. this long time nato partner saw the benefits of membership swing in the action just hours after the ground stop shaking. life saving equipment began clearing. what was one tomes western allies such as the us, that you immediately deploying everything from manpower to food, blankets to temporary shelter to aid survivors. as the temperatures dipped below freezing, massive rescue efforts continued for over a week. meanwhile, just a few miles away on the other side of the border in a leper syria, similar scenes of destruction, but with one market difference. western aid was absent. adding insult to injury the

us state department refusing to lift broad sanctions on syria that would allow nations and n g o's from delivering life saving measures to help this war. torn province, president bashar al assad, and the 1st lady of syria made a trip to visit the devastation firsthand. listen to what he had to say. the west has reportedly prioritized politics over the humanitarian situation. but this is not true, because in order to prioritize one case over another, both of them must exist. the political situation is there, unlike the humanitarian case, it is therefore normal to politicize the situation. in terms of human sentiments, it exists neither now nor in the past, nor during, nor after modern colonialism. 600 years ago, colonialism was founded on the murder theft and plunder of people. babies, children, families trapped under rubble,

punishments for the crime of being borne, syrian. now stephen uni is the chief editor at mid east discourse due to the quake and limited electricity in theory i just 10 minutes a day that fall out from the us sanctions. stephen was able to actually send us a brief video from the ground in the taco syria. first of all, northwest syria, and the city of live suburb of education, nor, nor philip bo. it's not under the hands of rebel, it's under the control of the radical. slavic tiers groups to hurl sha used to be called on the star, and there are the branch of okay, the, the spurious use, radical flood, the blood thirsty tears with her are funded, supported and trained by the america, by, by the united states since day one. and they were brought into syria through turkey . the stairs also are half of them are not even syrian they're from

chechnya, they're the weavers there from manor staff project and others. and the same did a soon the soon in government and the u. e and the united nations on several occasions through the earthquake, they wanted to send a to the, to, to live those radical islamic terrace. the refuse those trucks to come in. and they wanted money for the trucks and, and then decided fighting on who's going to 3. it was gonna, steve, that 8, that's number one. number 2. do you know, did the united states have sanctions on see it for the last 12 years and this and they are to number one cause of the for the last 12 years. so that's why syria has a lack of shortage of gasoline, shortage of fuel, shortage of electricity as everyone. no, no one can live with 10 minutes of electricity and we're doing or again,

we're living through that because of the american sanctions. and because of the illegal appearance of the united states in the east cafeteria. and them stayed in our oil and gas in the east of syria. what individuals can do the individuals has to from all over the world, journalist and activists, and even normal people to pressure the united nation pressure. the united states and their congressmen and the parliament numbers on lifting complete sanctions of syria. because lifting the sanctions of syria for $180.00 days, only an aid is called a joke. no one can rebuild a rebuild houses, 4 or 5500000 people are homeless because of this earthquake in a 180 days. what's the suffering we're going through today? and before the squeak, it's all caused by the united states and caused by the sanctions that they know that. but the sooner people are suffering because of these sanctions,

and that is what individual people can do to help. but i assure your congressmen, your parliament's number on lifting sanctions off of syria, that is millions of families suffering and syria. and for more on the crisis in syria, the quake aftermath and the sanctions will turn to veteran war correspondent, in hot spots around the world like the balkan, syria, iran, iraq, you name it. he has covered it, elijah maggie is joining us. so a larger, a lot of calls from around the world for the us to immediately lift sanctions on syria. so in our international aid and money can get through initially after the quakes hits state department spokesman net price said no, the u. s. is unwilling to do that because the charlotte odd would be exploiting that. i'm of course paraphrasing here, but that's the essence of what he said. now,

the u. s. has eased some of those sanctions, at least for relief efforts. this is only for $180.00 days. why do you think the u . s. temporarily shows this path? well, 1st of all, we have to be extremely careful about what the us has nice and coding . be to the rock on human stan relief. they release the document that the american relief is not complete and leaves a lot of space to ambiguity. first of all, the population interior. busy and duncan, and we're here, we're talking about maybe syria because it did the country that has received in the international support, particularly almost none from the way it because it speak about offering you any day and age the population affected by the way. now we have

seen that the population effects the by the way need. busy support in the 4 to 7 day to remove the debris. which means that there are in need of teens of the national games with dog, with equipment that can see beyond the concrete and can monitor the heat of the population that are trapped under the degree. however. busy we have. busy beyond that, now what the population is in need of a water food and blanket and they the tense and they need to reconstruct that. how now the the. busy busy us is not lifting the sanctions on the reconstruction. that's one to the us is leaving a big gap in, allowing the banks to deal with syria, allowing companies to deal with syria. the central bank is then under sanctions. so

all the companies going to send material to reconstruct or not, they can do that without being under section because there are many supp sanctions to the initial caesar. so this big green and big with the that led by the us is really unfair toward the population that have suffered the way. the other point is, why do you ask, shoot this box? it because the u. s. as been under tremendous as social media and media pressure. can you call me of a country that been suffering from such a strong way at this level of 7.8 macro, do it and then leave it on its own. we. busy understand sions, now, it is important to do something. so what they have done,

they have done something to feed the p r and say, well, we have done that. and now we allow people to support the, the syrian who have suffered from the consequences of the way. nonetheless, it is very ambiguous and she is not getting the western support until today. so bashar assad actually made a comment about the u. s. looting of the middle east of its oil, its treasure. does this relate to why there have been sanctions on serious and the 1970 s? well, i think any, come through with the resources and having his base for c, g, j o political location, is it because today it's not a blessing. and because the israel in want of syria and want to go that high and it has already occupied the goal and hi, this is something that is against the american policy. and again the policy. this

is why the americans always demonize those who are against them or at least who do not submit to them because it has not been against the americans briefly because. busy that has collaborated and maintain a bank with relationship with the what in general because there is no need to become the enemy of europe. all the united states. however. busy paying kind of in dependency and maintain its. busy integrity by looking after interest like every single nation, because of that, the americans don't want that in the middle east. and as we had general with the clubs saying a forestall. generally said the americans were planning to occupy 7 countries in 5 years. starting from, i've gotten this done, iraq and syria before going lebanon,

and iran, sudan, so mighty exeter and libya. so syria was on the line of the night to stage to be occupied. and we talk in 2001. and just after the $911.00, this is why syria is part of the us plan to be open by o to be submit. and coming out next. the white helmets once heralded by the wes. now speaking out against it, we'll discuss it when we return with elijah magna sit tight. ammo will be right back. ah, ah, ah, government has been killing its own people and on bass ideas. it's amazing. the vision not to be uncovered in western media hasn't been covered for the last 8 years. i'm here for 5 minutes and then i'm told the 1st 5 people they found it was

5 decapitated heads up in a quarterly request on demand, a boy fos. cat that it can use me. no fiber to say kid is when your father law kid evie, the inflammation wool. almost all the independent journalists pointed out that nato and the u. s. were directly responsible for initiating the military conflict and ukraine, all casualties of it as long as we want the war to continue. we will fight that more using ukrainians as proxies and we will fight it to the last ukrainian death. that's what's happened in dumb boss. this whole time, this is, these aren't objects, these are people that and so that's why i do what i do. that's why i'm here. the

me welcome back to the mo i'm manila chan. syrians are dying as we speak, but much of the west is trying to turn this natural disaster into the political failure of bashar al assad. olaja man, yea, is still with us to continue this conversation. so aliesha, the collective west is criticizing syria and russia for only having one corridor for aid to come through russia, as we know as an ally of assad and helped prevent and outright who in the country nearly a decade ago. the russians also help the syrian government defeat isis and protect world heritage site. but if the rebels control the north west region and american troops are in the north east of syria, with all the oil wells, isn't it incumbent on the us to negotiate safe travel routes?

in the north west since the rebels and the u. s. have the sort of the same objective of toppling assad. well even if they have the same goal today, there is no. busy negotiation or really restore between the us and the russian. well, our president on the same ground in syria because there are some russian forces in the middle east, but they don't have the upper hand and the americans. where's the now to make it clear that agreed and. busy informed the united nation that he is going to permit a treat, crossing from turkey into syria, and then they can use the crossing. now the reason why wash and china and syria was stopping other crossing because it is related to the sovereignty. if syria allowed so many crossing to go through and the americans are supporting the job is to

talking about the guy that was doping about isis room, and then we talking about you had to, are it live in know, west year? yeah, it means that the americans will create the fact to kind of the small stay within syria and take this part of syria and occupied forever. this is what the land of the americans to maintain supporting this just not a. busy big, however, there are around 4000000 people are living in it. and because of that, the russian and the chinese, according to the way of the us government, wanted to limit the actus to be under the control of the tack. and under the control of the united nations to allow to support and the feel of humanity k without. busy becoming a place where the west can transform and be based in that already they are based in

the west in the north east, syria, there's one day they have to be. so that's one area. the 2nd thing is there are other crossing that's the government in damascus. allowed and open from have side. it is. this is so rocket that leads to it. however. yeah, on the other side, open no structure where x ices x in syria. refuse to allow the goods to cross from one side to another because they think this way. busy and give a wake up, hold to the population that is in it, live and invite them unconscious. be to go and live in the regime controlled area because these people want to live in and they have the own in other part. and they have a willingly selected to wolf to that side. thinking that the war will continue,

however, the militant in the part of preventing anyone from crushing on the government sites . this is why the government say, well, i give you the day and we share what we have and if you had this refuse, now there is another crossing from the side and that the crossing from the. busy side at the put the condition that we should go to a frame, which is a province on the dentist for that very much affected by the way. and it is not so however, the minute of that control at the crossing from the. busy from west to syria, from the east to the west of syria on the border between the 2 sides. and. busy from an 100 brigades, and these are pro americans and progress. and they have confiscated all the convoy

of 32 trucks that were crossing from the side in. busy to in all the area under the control of the frame where the city and also some of them who did not leave there. and there was a fight between dominican who wants to steve the content of the trucks because they can see them at the end of this seeming blockade of relief. be it at the core doors or group, just afraid to cross the u. s. on the sanction land mines, it's starting to draw even the ayer of the controversial white helmets who have just now criticized the un for not stepping in in the way of aid. what do you make of that? what the white men have been trained by the research should they have been trained by the way and they have

a good purpose during the war in this information and in putting up information. busy and that to the propaganda that the west was ready for a. busy to publish publishing, however, d up the tie to stand against president in the sad has gone because after 13 years, 12 years of war, the west did not manage to over troll credited in this. therefore the white tenants are no longer useful for the way. and because they are no longer useful and the west deeds on base is off, we don't have friends, we have interest basis relationship. then the white helmet today are look at in a different way. so the wife has a lot of money to spend on ukraine. 120000000000, but very little money to spend on supporting people who wants to survive. those

who remained alive off the edge. for that new we seen the british spending a few $1000000.00 only for the population. when syria, if we want to look only at yes plate, and not of the consequences of the war, president russia paid you can said the cost is $84000000000.00 in turkey. and i think if you dozens of billions in syria, because the province of the level and present province of the fact was very much affected with over 4 and a half 1000000 people display. and without forgetting about the province of egypt and the one of the 3, therefore, sending really $4.00 to $6000000.00 or even 10 or $100.00 is not going to be

sufficient to buy 10 for the displaced people. it's all going to be sufficient to buy food for them and credit and grant said they need the year to reconstruct. and he has 98 nation supporting in syria as 10 to 15 nation supporting without tending money because they called and been a according to the u. s. sanction that sees the u. s. and e u. sanction. and you can imagine the countryway can help you, the oil cannot use the wheat and. busy is the harvey surviving with a little edit tricity and managing the country and want to reconstruct after the war that the expense that the cost reached between $500.00 to $800000000.00. and on top of that, now the government needs to be with a natural disaster. this is a lot for government or any government to deal with. this is why china,

russia and the whole wide to, with a little bit of sense toward humanity, regardless if they are, syrian or non syrian is inviting the us to lift all of the sanction because there is no need for very long paper explaining which article in which paragraph and what's where people can send or not to send to syria. the americans would have said we suspend. busy or sanctions and concert a notice and then everybody would go and support you for one reason. busy because everybody need to do some business and reconstruct interior is also beneficial. if we don't want to look at, do many k inside and supporting people in neat. i. yes, the henry kissinger rules for diplomacy. last thing here, olaja. you're in brussels home to the european union, h q. at this point,

not one plane has come into damascus to help the syrians, although they have helped turkey. why not? they are so much closer to syria than se, then a sweller. yet even the venezuelan have sense help. make me laugh because when it's when it's not under the u. s. thumb and the we in brussels, unfortunately with all the european union gathering $28.00 nations under the us bump and they do whatever the americans are doing. and they act according to the will of the americans, and they have eyes, it and pockets own the war the date. so when we see a country like when it's where it's really shameful for the you, you to look at a country under the sanction. like when it's way that,

that been suffering so much sending and they're playing, they could have done at least is small gesture with the population that they've been syria, particularly the area that serve the purpose of the americans and natal instead of serving their focuses. and here i'm talking about it live that is affected, not even that area will support it. so when, when it's way that tend to playing cell do are abs and the and said they will send more and they send the team to. busy it but this all these have money. however they, they charge go, they will don't want to trigger the angle the american then say when sending a. busy lot of support to syria. so even that the american, it's a country that it's grilling the was including brussels, including the european here who are taking decisions against the interests of the

european population. but against the interest of the humanity. not to go and support a population in need. after such a scale of ask rates is really strange once and once he is really ashamed to be european. elijah manet, thank you so much for that analysis. you can find more of olaja work at elijah j. m dot wordpress dot com. and that is gonna do it for this weeks episode. modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy. i'm your host manila chan. thank you for tuning in. we'll see you again next time to figure out the amount in, ah, some nations may be on the turn, a blind eye to atrocities and other countries,

the united states of america is different. wearable people long to be free. they will find a friend in the united states, ah, with you little bit about it all to anybody basie since only city in p jaw. you look at the book, they incentives that needs to get a few color. reco notions is one among several meetings to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them on to the hell of u. s. western economic interests. people in sadie, i do that. that's what i grew by the demographics. yeah. living with trinity corollary, sol suite best se low, they're softball, and they get the final goal of these thing. revolutions to ensure that there are no

independent players in the world anymore. ah, a to they committed another terrorist attack. another crime would be it, but i answered the border territory, but it could even fire a civilian vladimir putin bronze thursday's ukrainian linked attacks on russia's brianna region, an act of terror. what security services saying explosive device is helping discover it, hidden across the area. ukrainian group designated out terrorist by russia has claimed responsibility for the incident leader was previously known to be with and also i had a on the pro.
