history, why are ukrainian politicians are still reluctant to talk about these events? how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past? and why does the memory of aline, us do divide people ah, us in german media outlets published articles claiming that a pro ukrainian group was behind the bombing of the node stream pipelines. but russia calls it an attempt to shift the blame from the alleged western roll revealed by seymour huff as australia ais helping the us to wage war against china. i've taught taiwan, we expose the american establishment, links to war mongering, australian to propaganda. and india, a solution independence from foreign pharmaceuticals and health care of the global south was let down by the cove. it's vaccine equality form. it was by the way,
3:01 pm
ah, a very well welcome to you. you're watching aussie international with the latest world news update is good to have you with us this hour. now our top story, us intelligence source is say a pro ukrainian group carried out last year's bombing of the nord stream pipelines from russia to germany. as according to a new report from the new york times, citing anonymous officials who said that they have not been able to link the attack to the ukrainian government or its western patrons. well, these claims contradicts the recent report from pullet. surprised when as seymour hersh who's investigation alleged that the u. s. government. 6 destroyed the pipelines, officials who have reviewed the intelligence, said they believed the saboteurs were most likely ukrainian, or russian nationals or some combination of the 2. u. s. officials said no american or british nationals were involved. let's get the details now for money. your
3:02 pm
correspondence, caleb more then caleb, thanks for joining us now. well, the both the new times i'm single hash science is anonymous sources in their reports. one of them does sound a bit more convenient for the u. s. government on this online, doesn't it? sure. well, washington is trying to now explain the situation in response to all the backlash they've received since pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh revealed in his documentation in his reporting that he feels strongly that it is washington and the white house who is responsible for the destruction of the nord stream to pipeline. now this new report published by the new york times says that it was not the white house on rather what's the blame shifting it away from the west on to what it says were some ukrainians and some russians. and they also seem to not show that he was directly involved and he
3:03 pm
suggestion of ukrainian involvement, whether direct or indirect could have said the delicate relationship between the ukraine and germany. sour in support to mon, the german public that has swallowed high energy prices in the name of solidarity. now berlin has taken note of this report that seems to show the involvement of pro ukraine groups and the destruction of the north stream to pipeline. and it certainly raised this question as germany was the biggest country to suffer as a result of the pipelines. destruction raises questions about germany. the biggest economy in the european union added continued relationship with the government. and now it's important to note that the white house has been silent in response to the revelations from seymour hersh regarding the ord stream to pipeline and its destruction. many look on and say this is probably because they don't want to
3:04 pm
obviously state what is already seems to be indicated. and what many observers are taking note out if russia invade ukraine one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russia rage, that means tanks of troops crossing the border of ukraine's again, there will be we, there will be no longer nor stream to we will, we're going to do. how will you do that? exactly. since the product and control of the product is within germany's control, i promise you will be able to do now is the officials are going to allow inspection of the site where the nord stream to pipeline was destroyed according to a recent leak that was received. there has been silence from the white house and now it appears this new report from the new york times that sites anonymous
3:05 pm
intelligence officials seems to be basically letting the white house off the hook and letting western powers off the hook and providing here with an alibi that seems to be what's going on. now at this point we've got. 5 seymour her saying that he doesn't think that the white house or the u. s. government will ever admit what they did regarding nordstrom to here's what he said. the last thing, the white house, look, i'm telling you they're never going to say they're never going to say i surrender. they're just never going to do it. now see more hers is also indicated that he has further information to reveal regarding the destruction of north stream too. and this new report is being highly awaited. and there's a lot of anticipation to see what further details. seymour hersh has to reveal in light of today's piece from the new york times. absolutely, i, caleb, many thanks for breaking down the details for as i saw caesar callum open that not
3:06 pm
the latest reports on attempts to distract from the alleged western role in the pipeline at tank south, according to russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. let's take a lesson. there was a media is bombarded by the news that the investigation into the terrorist attacks against nordstrom has a version that this is a non russia b, ukrainian groups. i wonder who allows such leagues feeling the information space with them. the answer, those who do not want to conduct an investigation in the legal field and are going to divert the attention of the audience from the facts in every possible way. instead of leaks the western regimes involved in the incident should respond to official requests from the russian side. and at the very least take into account the materials of the hersch investigation. instead of replacing them with anonymous throw ins. just one out of the new york times article was published in german media outlets. like really said, phone bombshell reports. i think a local investigation alleging that ukrainian citizens flew up the node stream
3:07 pm
pipelines. do you think of both from poland the boat that was allegedly used for the secret operation is said to be a yacht rented from a company based in poland, apparently owned by 2 ukrainians. let's get more details about this, not from our contributor, rachel moss and rachel many thanks for joining about the program this evening. so what exactly do we know about the allegations? and of course, the source is a base particular german report and hospital stack up to the other claim surrounding the new stream bombing. so the german press claims to have gotten a hold of some bomb shell, knew allegations about the german investigation into north stream pipeline explosions. they zeroed in on a yacht, rented from a polish company owned by a couple of ukrainians, go figure on board. were reportedly 6 people including 2 divers and their assistance, plus a doctor and the captain of the boat, whose identities and citizenship is unknown with a zeit online reporting,
3:08 pm
that their passports used to rent the yacht records. how convenient. it's also not clear who gave them the orders. the boat reportedly set sail from a port in ra stock germany 20 days before the north stream explosions last september 26th, where it picked up some cargo that had apparently previously been delivered by a truck to the port. investigators then say that they a located it the ship, the next day on the danish island of christiane. so where it was headed back or handed back to the owners. investigators reportedly found traces of explosives in the cabin light street out of a spy movie, right. the german process is also reporting a tip from an unnamed western intelligence service to a european counterpart eggs indicating a ukrainian commando in the pipeline sabotage operation. with other intelligence, emerging of
3:09 pm
a quote pro ukrainian group involved no indication as to whether the pro ukrainian suspect was named uncle sam. the entire west right now is one big quote pro ukrainian group. so it really hardly narrows down the list of suspects. but one thing's for sure, though, this reporting sure has taken great pains to leave kiev right out of it. instead attributing the mischief to murky pro ukrainian actors. by the way, surely, it's just a total coincidence that just an hour or 2 before the german trust published this information, the new york times also announced that according to us officials, intelligence suggested a pro ukrainian group sabotaged the pipelines. both german and american sources just happened to come to the same conclusion about some murky pro ukrainian groups, leading both us and german media to quote,
3:10 pm
their respective countries unnamed and anonymous officials at exactly the same time too bad. this pro ukrainian group conveniently lacks an identity, so it obviously can't be held accountable. yes, that means that since q isn't officially involved according to these reports, then it's no problem for germany and the us to just keep delivering them weapons. no one's commenting on record except heath with a presidential adviser tweeting that ukraine had nothing to do with any of this. and he doesn't know any pro ukrainian groups, any kind of pun, shrugged it off. i don't know about you, but tom, i get angry when somebody borrows a library book in my name and it seems like he isn't too upset that somebody or some pro ukrainian groups are running around commuting terrorism and basically linking them to it. right. how many? thank so breaking down those details for his ass. auto contributes
3:11 pm
a rachel monson. well as close live now to legal and media analyst line. oh, to discuss this further line only it seems like at the weeks upon weeks of nothing suddenly was supposed to a choice with stories about what happened to the noise dream pipelines. we've got these 2 new western media reports alleging that neither keith nor any western governments had a direct role in the norwich truman. talkin, shifting the blame to some sort of pro ukrainian group was your take on these claims. i have read this story 10 times. i keep thinking they, they must have cut off a portion of this, this doesn't say anything. 3 authors, 3 from the once vaunted heralded new york times, new intelligence reporting amount to the 1st significant known lead. where, well, we don't know, it suggests a pro ukrainian group. do you think? do you think maybe,
3:12 pm
maybe the individuals involved in this might have been pro ukrainian? well, could be. there was some suggestion of perhaps a russian group, but that didn't seem to make any sense. she, i wonder why, why quit and mc? and he said, no, keep in mind. i live in a country right now in a world where we love true crime. where there were a podcast, where people listen to them. i noticed of, of the detail regarding blood spatter evidence of dna. so we are a very technologically savvy people who have as entertainment criminal, you know, ledger domain and, and scull doug re. this says nothing, couple things to note. seymour hersh, which they kind of refer to him towards the end, who writes on this quote, news letter platform but some stack. notice how they dismissive, i go, he's on some thing. i don't know some, i guess it's
3:13 pm
a bulletin board or something. seymour hersh, one of the most but heralded report is me lie named. and by the way, when he seymour her said, while i have unnamed sources, everybody say you can't do that. what kind of journalism that unnamed sources? what's this replete with on name to source is now let's go back to this. i'm a lawyer, my prosecutor. people who are been involved in mysteries, always look at queen mono queen. protest who benefits from this question. number one. kind of alluded to, maybe in this, this article, this, this revelatory piece. next. what kind of of, of material do you have to do? they make it sound like i can go out there in a row boat and right around here. sparky, let's drop that charge as though these nord stream pipelines are tenuous and very flimsy from what i understand and i'm no demolitions expert. this is serious
3:14 pm
business, but they make it sound like, well somebody did it. we don't know. and when ask in this article, well, could it be anybody aligned with either american forces or sympathetic? we, we don't know or washington says no. and that said, this is supposed to put to bed the issue. let me say this again, 3 authors from the new york times. speculation, i don't know anything if, if anything, this is by virtue of its wasn't, it's better not to even say anything. this in i might, makes people ask more questions than they did because i've, i've said this before, we have the attention span of a gnat after 3 days. nobody's going to remember this. nobody's going remember the nor it's really well. now we are because people are reading this and say, i don't understand what is proportion to even say so the,
3:15 pm
a lot of people will be looking at the timing of these 2 new reports as well. coming off the back of seymour hersh reports. these things like, you know, we had this conclusion from simo house and suddenly the war is all nike again, isn't it? and now we understand the host has more details to come. so what you expect from last cool? it pictures a confession. i have no idea. let me explain a couple of things, which i'm noticing all of a sudden. here we're seeing these revelations that oh yes, yes, nord screamed to no. probably somebody pro ukrainian. probably not russian. well, yes. on the heels of these revelations regarding the warren and, and shars, and where it came from and where their masks really are of an efficacy at all. this was denied. deny, denied you. were a conspiracy theories you were knocked off now, all of a sudden, in addition to this, all of a sudden, similar to this,
3:16 pm
people are coming forward to seeing, you know, there might have a connection to china come to think of it. yes, yes. so why all of a sudden are we hearing things which we suspected? because listen, in order for me to believe what has been suggested, i have to think that they must think i'm the stupidest person who's ever lived. so i'm insulted every day, but all of a sudden were being bombarded with these revelations or clarifications. not only this but everything. so something is up. i don't know what people are. it's coming to jesus moment. maybe people are coming clean, may be the elections may be as time to, you know, address the, the people who, truthfully, i don't know, but this, this expos, a expose is nothing. if it's an old stream pipeline, a tags are indeed dancing this anonymous pro ukrainian group. it would say you have
3:17 pm
to admit, be a convenient way to kiev on his western patrons to avoid any responsibility. well, the next question is again, pro ukrainian. okay. oh, i mean the next. oh, sure. now. now listen, i'm no expert. i'm going to take everybody up on at face value. but normally, normally from what i found, people don't normally go in front of the rosie. okay. yeah. got me. it's me. we did it. okay. you ask there a question. normally people would say, well we, we don't have any indications of such. so we went from at 1st being, we didn't know who did it to. it was russian sabotage which makes no sense at all which is alluded to in this new york times, pres to now pro ukrainian. is there going to be a next step after seymour hersh, his next article pro ukrainian?
3:18 pm
i mean, this is can be plausible. deniability is as a rogue group. seriously, let me just ask you a question again. quick bono, quick protest. who benefits? if, if we were just being just detectives don't you think the people who would be doing this would have something to gain? now, of the people who would have somebody to gain from this to, we really have to spend a lot of time going through sifting through all of the suspects. now let's see who might benefit from this, this critical piece of energy, real estate being bombarded and destroy. let's see. come on. i mean, i'm, and i'm being insulted, frank, and yet it is always interesting to see which side of the story the public do by in the end on that no legal media analyst line are many thanks for your time. always appreciate it. thank you so much. thank you. ah, on other developments, australia faces the threats of war with china within 3 years and we are not ready.
3:19 pm
according to the sydney morning herald, which held a panel with guests from a u. s. funded think tank to discuss a direct conflict with china. i've a tie one ortiz, don't cause who investigates who's really behind the war mongering rhetoric. the wheels of australia's mainstream media machine are moving towards war with china, a panel of so called experts have decided tambra should be battle ready in no less than 3 years time. not because there's any threat of beijing invading australia, but to help the us fight a war over taiwan. we have made our choice. if the united states goes to war with taiwan, we are going to support them one way or the other. we have deep interest in the preservation of ty, one's democracy, but also preservation of a border order where large authoritarians can't be predators on smaller democratic nations. australia preparing for war with china seems a little out of the blue. but for those who are funded by the u. s. military
3:20 pm
industrial complex, any occasion can be turned into a call to arms. that's exactly who these experts are. for example, mike ryan is an adjunct fellow at the center for strategic and international studies. a think tank funded by top us defense. a contractors like lockheed martin raytheon and northrop grumman. there's also peter jennings, levine, a lee and leslie c. back all contributors and fellows at the australian strategic policy institute. another organization, bankrolled by the u. s. establishment. the australian strategic policy institute is the propaganda arm of the c. i a in the u. s. government. it is a mouthpiece for the americans. it is funded by the american government and american arms manufacturers. white is allowed to sit at the center of the australian government when it has so much foreign funding. i don't know if it were funded by anybody else, it would not be where it is at. many australians are understandably outraged by this blatant example of war mongering propaganda with the countries former prime
3:21 pm
minister, calling it a grievous and provocative. today. sydney morning herald and h front page stories on australia's supposed war risk with china represents the most egregious and provocative news presentation of any newspaper i have witnessed in over 50 years of active public life. it is way worse that the illustrated sampan shown to be coming from china and the build up to the war in vietnam in the 19 sixty's. the extent of the boys and muse abuses, i believe, unparalleled in modern australian journalism. after all, australians are essentially being doused an ante. china sentiment by the media sky . news recently claimed australia needs to double its military budget in preparation for an american war over taiwan. by the way, that network also has decades old ties to the u. s. government because we fundamentally been, at least for i to years, many people i serious will be on the coverage on the ukrainians. this kind of stuff isn't just on the airways though. it's becoming australian government policy. the
3:22 pm
prime minister is expected to announce the building of a nuclear powered submarine fleet, as part of can burroughs deeper involvement than the anti china august military alliance with the u. k. and the u. s. unfortunately, it seems like australia's top officials don't understand the china presents a lot less of a danger than washington's provocations against beijing, which threatened to push the world closer to nuclear war. ah, the u. s. defense secretary has made an unannounced trip to iraq just days before the 20th anniversary of the us led invasion. though it often met with the iraqi prime minister on stated that washington wants to strengthen the partnership between the 2 countries. toilet forward to continuing to consult with our valued iraqi partners and to advanced our sure interest and to improve the lives of the iraqi people. i am optimistic about the future of our partnership
3:23 pm
and the united states will continue to strengthen and broaden our partnership in support of iraqi security, stability and sovereignty. that's not close to journalist and author. daniela's are very thanks for joining us on the program this evening. it's great to see you. so what's your take on the pentagon chief statement that the us wants to help iraq? it seems bit which doesn't, is coming from the nation that invaded the country and essentially destroyed in sovereignty 20 years ago. a bit rich, i would say the reason austin is going to iraq is quite clear. he's trying to shore up and increasingly rickety imperial structure, the u. s. needs iraq to, to put pressure on iran. it's major enemy in the persian gulf. busy so therefore, it's trying to bolster its government and both to its economy as well. but the range of the iraqi economy is actually doing quite poorly the, the national currency, the d n. r, is in free fall,
3:24 pm
due to us financial interference. america is trying to stop capital money from flowing from a rack into a ran because the u. s. wants to embargo a ran isolated. but unfortunately that's having very negative economic consequences in iraq itself. and so austin's job is to somehow contain the damage and put things on better footing. so while the interest in iraq right now, because often is not the only foreign dignitary who's visited iraq, where we've had russian radiate and saudi saudi diplomats as well, visit the country. so why, why the sudden interest? well, i mean the, the person golf is always as always a trouble zone and, and u. s. policy and afghan, a stand to the north collapse ignominiously and 2021. so therefore, it created a power vacuum that, that you know,
3:25 pm
that other countries are rush to fill. so the other person golf is now and play so, so the saudis or russia, other countries are involved. that's to be expected. and austin, for his part, is doing his best to keep the u. s. the us role intact to see to it that iraq remains in the, in the american orbit, despite the immense damage is doing to the iraqi economy. and how do you think iraq feels about this invitation to buddy up with the us, what's, what's in it for them? what's it for them as i is military support, economic support and, and backing for the iraqi government, which is extremely weak and stable. so, so they're looking to america for support. they're worried about iranian influence . so there's a great big balancing act going back and, you know, going on in the persian gulf. the point is that they, the greater the balancing acts, the, the, the, the more rickety,
3:26 pm
the entire structure grows. and what about there are other options. what about countries like russia, for example, can they offer iraq any better deals than the americans? what russia conceivably could, but that would be quire a further rapprochement between our iraq and in iran, which the americans of course, would not like one bit. so us, so therefore if, if iraq does look to russia for help, it will be at the cost of arousing the i or of the united states. and therefore it could find itself in, in and more trouble than ever. so and often didn't just stop over in a rock. he also visited the israel, egypt, and jordan, possibly the 3 day trip was enough previously highlighted the importance of discussing the so called threat from around. so do you think that to ron really is a threat? so any of these countries? well, i think that the whole region is blowing up and israel is blowing up 1st and foremost, and the u. s. is doing, it's better, it's best to contain the damaged but the,
3:27 pm
but the country is, is exploding both inside israel proper and of the occupied territories. i mean, no one knows where this crisis will will wind up and certainly will throw us policy in the broader middle east into disarray. so i think i see austin's mission as a, as an attempt at damage control. trying to keep the lid on israel trying to limit the damage that israeli mobs. ready israeli polk ron this are doing in the occupied territories, trying to keep iraq and time kind of trying to keep the pressure on iran and trying to keep saudi arabia in line as well. so, so that it doesn't ally itself too strongly with russia. as i said, the entire structure is regularly beyond belief is a house of cards. but austin is doing his best to prop things up. he's busy, busy, man, journalists and all that. daniel is already thanks for your time. always appreciate
3:28 pm
your insight. thank you so much. thank you. and france, at least 13 people have been detained, off the thousands rallied in protest against the government's new pension reform. the ah, current trade unions and sent out marketing through downtown power. it's bringing much of the 50 to a standstill with feel deliveries disrupted, and schools closed. why and police were quick to weigh in with, with on lesion tier counseling process to see was the sex race from the law. hundreds of similar rallies are scheduled to take place across from the next few days to india now, which has set a goal of minimal dependency on foreign pharmaceuticals on health care. that's the message from the nation's prime minister. arrange remotely. who says that new delhi
3:29 pm
has learned lesson from the cove. it era pandemic. up to 260 new medical schools have opened to the last few years as admissions demand has doubled since 2014, the prime minister. also note that large investments have boosted the nation farmer and medical tech industries. us off the global self leaders condemned western countries for refusing to share vaccine peyton's leaving them alone to fight the pandemic. the nation is called the universal access to vaccine. so i think a failure to cooperate on an international level. the world health organization on the united nations have also joined the condemnation against the west, monopolizing of the vaccine. we heard from health care experts from india on south africa, who say the failure to unite in the face of the cobit pandemic is greatly weakened the global south. it's the ambition of every country and every continent i believe, to acquire independence. how sovereignty, if you want to call it and my shirt,
3:30 pm
the whole security. so the lessons learned very clearly from covet, particularly on the african continent in south africa. and the other african countries is very much it. you cannot depend on others to supply your critical mason's vaccines at the beginning of it. so, you know, january, february, march of 2020, every once every mustang to getting solidarity women's work together. and we must help each other out. and no one is safe until we all say the sad reality. is it not? i need, i was at the waste, it wasn't supplying vaccines. thomas lead to africa vaccination, or it was quite a well, it distributed most of the western work. it was developed that vaccination did population to do no $60.00 to $90.00.
