time not because there is any threat of beijing invading australia, but to help the u. s. 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 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, 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. why it 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 country's former prime minister calling it agree just and provocative. today, sydney morning, herald and h, front page stories on australia supposed war risk with china represents the most egregious and provocative news presentation of any newspaper i have witnessed over 50 years of active public life. his way was that the illustrated sampan shown to be coming from china and the build up to the war in vietnam in the 1900 sixty's. the extent of the bias and news abuses i believe unparalleled in modern australian journalism

. after all, australians are essentially being doused an antique 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 under mentally been a place for many people, find i serious, beyond comprehension. the ukrainians. this kind of stuff isn't just on the airways though. it's becoming australian government policy. the prime minister is expected to announce the building of a nuclear powered submarine fleet. as part of tan burrows, deeper involvement than the anti china office military alliance with the u. k. and the u. s. unfortunately, it seems like australia's top officials don't understand that china presents a lot less of a danger. and washington's provocations against beijing, which threatened to push the world closer to nuclear war. leave coven studies

for scientists. sounds stopped politicizing the issue. that's the message from china as foreign ministry and made fresh claims in the us that the virus was likely released from a chinese lab. they think is also a case washington of weapon. i think the pandemic you do, i should daniel, i mean, for some time the u. s. has been insisting on politicizing and weaponized origin, tracing and using it as a tool to hyper ridiculous policies of biological weapons and leveling without any evidence. these acts have ruined the global atmosphere of science based ward and tracing the u. s. keep saying it pays great attention to wires, origin tracing but never in wide world health organization experts to carry out orange and trace and cooperation, or provides any preliminary data. we urge the us to stop the political manipulation of orange and tracing and respond to the global communities, legitimate concerns as soon as possible. during the outside of the pandemic, former cnn chief jessica,

reportedly all of his journalists to shun the covey conspiracy theory. calling it a trump talking point. however, cnn has a very different angle when it comes to carrying the bite and administration's claims and allegations against china. permanent american journalist, glen greenwald, has condemned the us media bias. this lab leak theory became a popular hypothesis in conservative circle. we know that this virus originated in china. we know that unfortunately, we will see future viruses and pandemic to come. and the fact that china has not been transparent in terms of allowing investigators. and i think is a bigger concern, one down tend to go. a conspiracy turns to truth. it was never justified to treat as proven covered soon on the origin, nor any reason to mock the lab week theory. but media outlets did as because codes origin became politicized and media outlets, as always, cited with their audiological tried discuss this with fi,

gil radio host and political commentator joining goes live at from tennessee many thanks for joining us on the program. so what do you make of the motives and timing of these latest american attempts to blame the pandemic on china? first of all, i'd start with china and they have no room to blame anybody for not doing the scientific evidence of where it originated. when they blocked any investigation, they hit the will hon lap any information that would have proved where it came from . so if they weren't hiding something, why would they so focused on hiding stuff? but it did become politicized very early when president trump was focusing on it. being from han was calling it the china virus was accused of, of being racist by identifying it from its origin for blocking travel from china to the us until we could determine how it was being spread, how quickly it would spread. if you had more access of, of chinese from that area around the world. so it got politicized immediately by

those who were opposed to trump, and anything that they could do to try and make it a trump virus. rather than a china virus became their political agenda. yeah. the trunk, you know, he went on on a get on and on about the china a virus theory for years. but the mainstream media that just refused to support it, but not the think it a very different tune. why? first, why you have to pronounce it trump in china, the china virus, but the other figured that they were against. i think the word tribal is correct. they immediately leaped to the fence of their tribe. we now find the facts that the cia other federal government agencies know that it came from the lap. know that it was man made you now have but solid documentation. the doctor found gee, and his is cronies. were helping fund the development of this advanced weaponized type virus. and now the truth is, you know, kind of slowly leaking out. unfortunately you got people like bounty and others denying they ever said any of what they said, although it's on video tape. so i think the truth is going to come out,

the mainstream media is going to continue to bury it and, and certainly not give apologies. ready for the attacks that they launched on people who said it came from a lab in hon, who said that the vaccines were not necessarily the effective or tested as we were told. and. and now we're being told that the mass don't even work, you know, in new york city, they're now banning, massed in the retail and other establishments because people are using the mass to commit crimes. so they didn't prevent the virus. they are increasing the crime rate in new york city and other places. as you think china is increasing international activity on issues like the ukraine conflict, of course, and global economic crisis had anything to do with the u. s. media, you turn on the finger pointing because it oh, i think it definitely does because they watch our media. they are trying to influence american public opinion the same way that, that other countries are. they've got to push back against what the mainstream media is doing. and, and they're trying to do it effectively. i don't think they do it quite as

effectively as they could. but the mainstream media is so one sided in their reporting over the years of cobit, of the vaccines, of hiding the by the administration and doctor found to use involvement the same way that the media and the u. s. is taking one side in the ukraine conflict, not telling both sides of the story. and my, my theory is whenever you have the media, just telling one side of the story, you know they're lying to you. and they've done that with over there. doing that. certainly with the ukraine conflict. so you confident on the co, lovely fairy. then? i don't think there's any question you've got solid scientist saying this was not sort of a natural thing that sprung up out of out of a wet lab or a wet market in wilheim. this was, was a advanced type of, of a virus that had to have been developed in a lab and the lab closest to the proximity where it spread is wilheim. there's really no question about that. see, feel, radio, sound political commentary. somebody, thanks for your time. always appreciate it. thanks very much. have

a great day. thank to india now which has set a goal of minimal dependency on foreign pharmaceuticals on health care. the message from the nation's prime minister range were moody, who says that new delhi has learned it's less than from the cobit era pandemic. up to 260 new medical schools have opened the last few years as admissions demand and civil for the 2014. the appointment is the also note that the large investments of boosted nations, pharma and medical tech industries, off the global south leaders condemned west in countries for refusing to share vaccine payton's. leaving them alone to fight the pandemic relations called for universal access to vaccine. so i think a failure to co operate on an international level. the wells health organization on united nations have also joined the condemnation against the west's monopolizing of vaccine. we heard from health care experts from india and south africa who say the

failure to unite in the face of the corporate pandemic is greatly weakened global self. with the ambition of every country and every continent, i believe, to acquire independence. how sovereignty, if you want to call it that, and my suit in the hall security. so the lessons we learned very clearly from covet, particularly on the african continent and 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 color that say, january, february, march of 2020. everyone said we must stay together in solidarity room as we're together and women's help each other out. and no one is safe until we are safe. the sad reality is that not only was that the wasted wasn't supplying

vaccines tonya, see to africa watson, asia to the word was quite well. it distributed most of the western world. it was the vaccination did population to the do know 60 to 90 percent, which was free. and under the word you were to that you don't want to play the population because of the, this mismatch, it was a large chunk of the human being not be needed. none of them even that divider, had probably one level population we didn't correction which did let the latter multiply, the more the what it was lying, the more radians were coming in being and that are in this band. iran is looking forward to building technological relations with africa that was emphasized that a scientific and they can all make corporation meeting between iran and west african countries that kicked off into wrong. on monday, in the past centuries,

western countries have looted the wealth of these countries. by exercising colonial rule. but the development of relations with africa for the islamic republic of iran is not for the wealth of this region, but for the development and welfare of all nations, including african nations. you can get to know these developments and capabilities of iran through a personal visit and received the message that the determination and perseverance of a nation can turn all threats and sanctions into opportunities and bring that nation to progress the conference port together, the islamic republic and 15, west african states. iranian president separate him, raised the stress to wrong desire for why the cooperation know thing. the importance of shared experiences in strategic fears, such as i t wrong cause for stronger ties with africa, come a maybe can make uncertainty in the nation, provokes a new round of western sanctions. we supposed to political sociology, professor dr side said that he can all makes experts fired to law. he who said that

you, that iran search for new partners is a way of resisting sanctions while also benefiting africa. the current president, but he might see is boosting again. the operation was africa now the 3 between the long and is over $1000000000.00 in the last 10 months of that. we have open, also 8 centers for iranian centers to make the business and boost relations between indian economy manian centers of technology and the holland. africa and many african states. so this is part of the mean strategy of the along to break the sanctions and sure that the world is not consistent of with them countries, but there are also other can be on the continent that can have 3 was then you are suffering from enough functions i don't think you'll, if you have more sanction,

it will stop. and in fact, i think the planning different routes to trade between the on and, and those african that would facilitate the relations. and it would present a model, the offer systems that we are a country under function, and we have capable of reaching african countries and boasting of resistance and corporations. we've been following the idea of resistance economy in the last 20 years and quite cheating the outcome. we need to, as i said, we need to diversify both our product and service expert nation. everybody know we are on the the most and then the sanction. and we have been through the bid

in the last 10 years over the last 10 years. unfortunately, we have had no economic growth mean the road and we, we do need to get out of this situation and other developments. a polish state owned oil company is planning to sue russia over the whole of supplies via a pipeline that transports oil to eastern europe. after president joe biden's visit, the russians stopped pumping oil to poland. we will now take legal action and assert claims. let me get this straight. poland is up said that russia won't take poland money any more. poland has been going out of its way to act as ukraine's teacher's pack within the ear. going round publicly, bullying. it's fellow european allies for doing business with russia. just

a few days ago, the polish defense minister said on state tv quote, there is no doubt it was germany's policy that help routine to get money, which he used to strengthen his army. nord stream is an example. although we were called russ a phobic. we warned against it. we're talking billions that poland has sent to russia for energy as the german ambassador to the country has pointed out. now poland even promised to end all russian oil imports by the end of last year. so you think that they would welcome this development, but now the same c, e o of poland state energy firm orlan is complaining that the evil russian oil has stopped flowing into poland, which was the largest importer of russian oil to the whole of e u. in january consisting of about 10 percent of its supply. and when confronted with that fact, the same c, e o's defense was basically that he just didn't know how to shut off the top. there

were 2 contracts, one contract expired in january, the other expires in 2024. it is difficult to break a contract without sanctions. we would expose ourselves to large fines and that money would go to put in any way we would pay for the oil that we didn't even receive. so he said that he really, really liked to shut off that russian oil to poland, but that he couldn't do that without getting fined for breaking a business contract with russia. so it be better to just keep paying for the russian oil. well then to have to pay a massive fine for stopping it. quo buddy, looks like your problems are all solved because it sounds like moscow is basically now stopped and he won't have to pay the fine. so, what's the problem? unless of course, he really didn't want to break poland, long term relationship with russian oil and was just telling everyone that they were only dating casually, you know,

until something or someone better came along and offered some other supply. speaking of dating on the download german economy minister, robert havoc also said this week that berlin doesn't have a formal relationship with russian gas after someone mysteriously blew it up. along with the nord stream pipelines regime, cynthia momentum, we are not dependent on russian guest supplies at the moment. mark side may be the true that ellen g terminals of neighboring countries through which gas quantities come russian molecules or the gas mix it up to click and neither be controlled nor exclude him. but german companies did not buy algae gas from russian companies or russia. moreover, he makes a sound like rushing yas, his imposing itself on germany like some kind of a crazy acts like, well, we tried to get it off our line, but it just wouldn't leave us alone. so they're acting like it's not really their fault if they're still playing some kind of. busy light foot see under the table

with russian fuel, the american c. e o of chevron. mike worth recently pointed out that indeed europe is still getting russian fuel. that it's just taking the long way around from russia going through unsanctioned countries. and obviously that's going to mean that it's more expensive and also introduces more potential risks in a much larger supply chain, which conveniently makes us natural gas a lot more attractive. so it's hardly surprise for example, that shell oils c e o is now saying that stability of the u. s. energy market makes it more attractive for the company's investments. then for example, the u. k. or europe and european customers and industry are absolutely the ones bearing the brunt of all these added costs to buy energy and to, to re routed through half the world. now, europe has been saying that it wants to ramp up it's military industrial production

. but here in france there even struggling to keep making baguettes do the energy cost. so good luck with that guys. meanwhile, the blocks fearless leaders keep saying that they're strong and independent and don't need russian fuel, even as they keep importing it on the sly. that is until, as we've just seen with poland, russian fuel dumps down the us defense secretary has made an unannounced trip to iraq to states before the 20th anniversary of the us led invasion. lloyd austin, met with the iraqi prime minister on state of washington wants to strengthen the partnership between the 2 countries. do i look forward to continuing to consult with our valued iraqi partners and to advance nurtured and trish and to improve the lives of the iraqi people? i am optimistic about the future of our partnership and the united states will

continue to strengthen and broaden our partnership in support of iraqi security, stability and sovereignty. the pentagon chief visit to baghdad as part of a 3 day trip across the middle east. he also met king abdullah of jordan on monday and is set to travel to israel and egypt to sit down with the top officials that had off the top of the us announced that discussions would focus on the growing threat iran poses to regional stability to the list and also donald lazar washington wants to build a new coalition of the willing against iran. 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 put pressure on iran. it's major enemy in the persian gulf . busy so therefore it's trying to bolster it's governments and balls to it's 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 a free fall 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 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 a better footing and syria aleppo airport has been bombed by israel using f. 16 fighter jets damaging the wrong way on the radio. that's according to the syrian government for the smoke. the 4th israeli attack on the country since the beginning of the year. television has not yet commented on this latest strike. the moscow se c port is currently shut down as it has suffered. serious damage. officials have been forced to temporarily re route flights,

carrying much needed humanitarian aid to the country. this comes a serious struggles to cope with the aftermath of last month's devastating earthquakes. and meanwhile, a top us military commander has made a surprise trip to the kurdish controlled oil, which part of serious no thief. it came without any permission from the recognized government of syria, damascus. his brother, the visit illegal, calling it to a flagrant violation of serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. chairman of the u. s. joint chief of staff mike emily travelled there to allegedly keep islamic state terrorists in check, prevent the group's re emergence. however, washington previously claimed that i saw has already been defeated. now, some american will make it all seeing what exactly the country's military is still doing in syria legislation to ends. the u. s. presence that is set to be put to a vote this week in congress, damascus. that is the ultimate goal of the us military is to support radical

islamists. the u. s. chairman of the chief of staff made in the legal visit to an illegal u. s. military base in ne, syria, and claimed that the reason for this visit was to assess the effectiveness of the war against the islamic state. however, the international community knows very well that the islamic state is an illegitimate offspring of us. intelligence is, comes as main, 3 media and some west of the think tanks have started to question the flow of humanitarian aid to syria and helping those affected by the quakes. they say that eating sanctioned pressure on the country could play into the hands of the syrian president by law, less size and motion soon as being trying to oust by supporting anti government forces were independent investigative journalist, vanessa bailey says, the us on the sidelines are exploiting the aftermath of the earthquake dissolve the tooth, both of their own interests in the region. since the earthquake, there had been 2 attacks by israel and 3 attacks i sisters against civilian

targets. east of homes are massacring. i think in the region of 150 civilians and taking hostage a number more millions are literally pouring in under the guise of humanitarian aid . what i see is a cynical exploitation of a humanitarian tragedy in the earthquake by the west to take advantage of that and to effectively advance militarily. there have been a series of attacks from the north west by the groups dominated by alco. you're including more than $100.00 drones by suicide, drones and surveillance, drones being brought down by syria and our troops. the latest is ready of russia which targeted the lifeline for earthquake victims in a leper and has rendered the airport out of use at the moment. so nike monitor united can enter the people, the leper into that airport, and it's being diverted now to damascus. when we know, of course,

the israel has regularly also targeted damascus and not international airport by please airport. so civilian airports, leading indian opposition and p, we're whole gandhi says, the countries authorities, i intentionally preventing lawmakers from voicing that quicker says and jerry sessions in parliament or microphones are not out of order. they are functioning, but you still can't switch them on. that's happened to me a number of times while speaking, the monetization was a disastrous financial decision. we're not allowed to discuss g s t have to use debates to fits and other debates. there is a stiff wind that's going on speaking to british and peace. gandhi, aren't it that the indian government is trying to strangle the opposition in the country. he also planes what he called new daily's propaganda machine. failing to carry the voices of criticism against the countries, rouelis and deangelis,

proud thing i told is that these statements are aimed at trying to discredit prime minister modi in the democracy and people out of the country elected governments. it wrong, gone beyond is a party, but they're unable to win elections in 2014 and some of the 19 the initial group there should be looking within. this would be doing some infrastructure. and i'm by asking for water intervention. i'm the into in some of the us i'm but i do. and western blog which they're gone. he has wanted all that he took as the member of parliament, the old saying that i did that goofy against the country under look. going to do should one by austin fall, he has a 1000000000 law on an innovation because he is unable to deal with. but i'm going to stop all these going public be on his back on his day, just as a global leader here, one grandson, who happens to be a board, not a member of parliament is or barely austin. busy fall us and rest davina

so that he could defeat mister morgan. alton brown, from bala, his own desperation to begun the prime minister of india without doing anything. many thanks for keeping his company here in asi international. we'll be back in just a few minutes with more of the latest. ah, 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

we will bring to the iraqi people, food and medicine in supplies. and freedom with one memory loss is unusual forgetfulness and a form of memory loss is and ability to recall. past events with can be general. we're concerned some specific events only. in some cases, the memory laws can extend back decades starts an intensive course of memory recovery on r t ah

ah, ah, breaking news from georgia where processed is attempt to storm the country's parliament. it clashes with the people rally against a draft and all that would run some media outlets. foreign agents u. s. and german media outlets publish articles claiming that a pro ukrainian group was behind the bombing up in north stream pipeline. but russia called it an attempt to shift the blame from the alleged western roll whitfield by theme or.
