3:04 am
by ukraine. though it's really evidence that the shilling, indeed, has become less intensive and old that is credited you to success of russian artillery aviation, and ground troops efforts on the outskirts of the next. meanwhile, a new prisoner of war exchange has taken place between russia and ukraine. 9, the russian service men are trained, returned home from top to vittie and are now undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. officials say their lives were in danger prior to their release. r t correspondence, sophia newness reports. russia. ukraine had swapped $220.00 prisoners in one of the largest exchanges of the year long conflict. on tuesday, the russian defense ministry announced that it had secured the release of 90 of the service men who were in mortal danger while in completed. and now those troops have been brought to my score for medical and psychological assistance. meanwhile, the head of the office of the president of ukraine wrote on telegram that 130
3:05 am
ukrainian to proofread, including for service women, the latest field w swap, took place on the eve of international women's div. and there's no doubt the best for mothers, daughters weiss and sisters of the really soldiers on both sides. nothing mister nose. i'm finally home. i'm so happy. and my family's overjoyed, uh vacation. oh there's nothing better than the feeling that you have come back home. i called my family to let them know my mother was in tears. if i'm unable to express what i'm feeling right now, i'm shaking in sight. i simply cannot describe this feeling. we were just gathered out one day and told that we are coming home. we were shocked, i told my family, my mom cried. my daughter and wife were incredibly happy. i am so grateful to the russian governments that were not forgotten so far over 900 fresh soldiers have been freed in prisoners changes. that's based on the information released by the russian ministry of defense and in the georgia capital t believe c. riot police
3:06 am
have been dispersing protesters with tear gas and water cannons. that's after rioters broke through a barricade near the country's parliament while attempting to storm the building in a protest against a new foreign agent law. ah, road traffic in this city has been blocked with mass arrests also reported. some of the protesters receive throwing molotov cocktails and stones at police, leaving several officers injured. ambulances arrived to help treat any casualties. earlier on tuesday, their proposed loss bar clashes between georgia law makers inside parliament. that's the spicy initiative,
3:07 am
which the u. s embassy into belief they have described as prevalent and fired. being approved by a majority of m. p. 's r t correspondent, marina kazora has more details. this foreign agent law basically means that any organizations receive in foreign funding have to register as foreign agents. basically that they are working in the interest of the country that has given them those funds. we've seen in the past how such situations have been used by other countries. i want to influence the politics within a particular nation. and this is what they use. they fund opposition movements either through various n z o z, or they try and form public perception by funding, for example, even live in news organizations. so the absolute majority, however, all been peace voted in favor of the bill. this just passed the 1st reading, so there will be more, however, the president of the country already spoke out and said that she's absolutely
3:08 am
against this bill. and she, that she fears for the countries future with the west. if this passes, this law can be cancelled in any way you want from day one. i said i would veto this law and i will veto is. i do not care about it's article by article discussion . it's similarity to the old american law, which we well know, service completely different purpose, those who support this law and those who voted for this law or violating constitution. you're taking us all away from europe also so that she stands next to the processors. whether she supports them and she said that they represent the fleet, georgia, today, a georgia that sees itself that sees a future within europe. this is why we can see some of the crowds there, waving the you flag and then chance and slogans of support. they're now even though she said that she could repeal the law as the crosses her death, the ruling, the dream party. ours has to have the parliamentary majority, so it's unclear whether shall we actually able to veto that. now georgia has already been warned by the wes regarding this legislation,
3:09 am
for example on tuesday that you released the statement saying that this draft legislation is incompatible with your values and sanders. and it could have serious precaution on the country and their relationship in the future. and of course, the united states, back in february, they also see the statement that the u. s. department spokesperson said anyone both and for this legislation could also jeopardize george's relationship with europe and the united states. and also let's have a look at the statements released by the u. s. embassy enjoyed their basically echoing the same sentiment. today's adult day for georgia. democracy parliament's advancement of these kremlin inspired laws is incompatible with the people of georgia. clear desire for european integration and his democratic development. presume these laws will damage george's relations with his strategic partners and undermine the important work of so many georgia organisations working to help their
3:10 am
fellow citizens, the process and the draft laws. res, real questions about the ruling parties. commitment to euro, atlantic integration. so we have the stand of scenes which resulted already in classes that were seen sort of eerily echoing what we saw and kia back in 2014. and after they did wants to sign the e association agreement. so we'll be monitoring the situation and see how it ends, how it unfolds, if this is it, or if we'll continue to american civil rights attorney. robert patello, who said 3rd parties may have had a hand in the events in georgia capital. we're looking at molly people's uprising and standing up against the current regime, which is in place, but also the interference of the western powers when it comes to law, when it comes to the popular opinion of the other citizens there. we known for years of the western powers of salt to influence any country littleton. russia's sphere influence whether it be chechnya, whether it be ukraine, whether it be that we are people's republic of georgia,
3:11 am
we've got nothing but miss messages on the one hand saying that gifts would support protesters. but on the other hand, having very heavy handed on police operations in the near pier military response to such if you support the protesters and, and sit down with their leadership, bring them into the on to government, create peace, a court that will bring it in to the protest, but instead we're seeing the continued militarization of this for these protests and a lack of understanding or a lack of ability to negotiate a settlement. the kremlin spokesman has dismissed the latest reports from western media that laid the blame for the nor true pipeline attack on a pro ukrainian group as a coordinated distraction, which draws attention away from previous theories of western involvement in the last years bombing of the russian pipelines these claims also contradict the recent investigation by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, who alleged that the u. s. government was involved in the attack. officials who
3:12 am
have reviewed the intelligence, said they believed this 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. 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 in response to these latest claims that russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman also says, the reports are an attempt to distract from the a legit western role in the pipeline attacks. the western 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 leaks filling 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
3:13 am
official requests from the russian side. and at the very least take into account the materials of the harsh investigation. instead of replacing them with anonymous, throw whence? well, washington is trying to now explain the situation in response to all the back last they received sams, 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. i'm 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 here was directly involved any suggestion of ukrainian involvement, whether direct or indirect could have said the delicate relationship between the ukraine and germany. sour in support to mon,
3:14 am
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 raises questions as germany was the biggest country to suffer as a result of the pipe lines, destruction. i raises questions about germany, the biggest economy in the european union. i and it's continued relationship with government in cuba. now it's important to know out that the white house has been silent in response to the revelations from seymour hersh regarding the nord stream to pipeline at its destruction. many look on and say this is probably because they don't want to obviously state what is already seems to be indicated. and what many observers are taking no doubt if russia ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russian rate
3:15 am
that means tanks from troops crossing the border of ukraine, again, there will be we, there will be no longer a north stream to we will begin to do. now danish 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 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 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 the never going to say they're never going to say i surrender.
3:16 am
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 nord stream to 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 and light of today's piece from the new york times, leo and media analysts, lionel says the mainstream media has resorted to repeating, instead of reporting while failing to carry any actual facts. 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 ones vaunted harold in new york times mainstream media today. i don't of, it's american if it's western by mainstream media, are repeaters, not reporters. they repeat their praxis, their agent, they're,
3:17 am
they're correspondent, they're there. they're propagandist who had the modem. if you ask somebody nord stream to a pipeline which russian, germany, who would have the motive, who would benefit from this kui bono qui pro dest, who benefit ask yourself. and the 1st thing is, i was russia. how does that work? well? because they are so evil. but what, what yes, because this evil knows no nose, no sanity is what this evil apparently doesn't know. so now you have this which all of us that now let me also tell you, i don't want to to make it even work be complicated or, or similarly complicated. be good to so obvious. when you have 2 leading officials saying, if you do this, that nord scream is through and what happened?
3:18 am
now come on. come on. why are we even discussing this? how is it to be? but what do they happened to say that? that really? that was just an expression. when i said something bad, what happened? i, i didn't think you believe what happened. and the 3rd question which nobody is, may be explaining to me. and i'm just a layman. i'm just, i don't know anything about demolitions. i've never destroyed anything under water or above water for that matter. doesn't it? take a lot of effort, aren't these pipelines really encased in concrete or stealer? when you leave something that important, unattended in the ocean? how is it that these people happen to go out in a road to dive down?
3:19 am
i don't know how many meters use whatever equipment is available to story is so preposterous from the beginning. and meanwhile, nobody has ever said to seymour hersh. you're incorrect because of such and such. are your fax or that? that's papa. it's the very fact that we're discussing this is a testament to the power of whoever is controlling the narrative. because this is obvious. german politicians, ralph t niemeyer and martin dozer say it's easy to figure out who benefits from the sudden switch of suspects. i call it a weapon of mass destruction. so they want to blame everybody else, but not themselves. of course, they would never admit that. but if time goes by, the end, people will understand those who really have an interest where the united states of america. it's also because mr. biden is facing
3:20 am
a reelection campaign that is going to start at the end of this year beginning of next year. so he has to win some support among his own people. if you look at the normal investigative journalists in germany, it's a studio and the newspaper inside the all sling to trans atlantic think change very closely and for the government, you made this a tax on law stream wrong into what's in danger of the security of germany. and now there is least like that that must be some reason. so i think the russian, which had been brought to light by a single hersch seems to me a bit more likely to be the truth than what happens now. a polish state owned oil company is planning to sue russia over the halt of
3:21 am
supplies via pipeline that transports oil to eastern europe despite warsaw being an active proponent of anti russian energy sanctions. it's still blames moscow for the disruption 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. pullin has been going out of its way to act as ukraine's teacher's pack within the ear, going round publicly, bullying its fellow european allies for doing business with russia. just a few days ago. the polish defense minister, set 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
3:22 am
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 funds and that money would go to putin anyway. we would pay for the oil that we didn't even receive. so he said that he, the really,
3:23 am
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 fines. 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 rushing. cynthia,
3:24 am
mom and we are not dependent on russian guest supplies at the moment. ok, so it may be that through the elegy, terminals of neighboring countries through which gas quantities come rushing molecules or the gas mix, it does look like can neither be controlled nor excluded. but german companies do not buy algae gas from russian companies or russia, whatever 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 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
3:25 am
a much larger supply chain. which conveniently makes us natural gas a lot more attractive. so it's hardly surprises. 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 entered, 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,
3:26 am
as we've just seen with poland, russian fuel dumped them. in other developments, australia faces the 3rd of war with china within 3 years, and we are not ready that's according to the sydney morning herald, which held a paddle with guests from a u. s. funded thank tank to discuss a direct conflict with china over taiwan artes donald quarter 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 is 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
3:27 am
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 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
3:28 am
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 minister, calling it a grievous and provocative to day 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
3:29 am
fundamentally been increased 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 prime minister is expected to announce the building of a nuclear powered submarine fleet as part of cameras, 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 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. that's our up on the ours top news stories coming up a t s. a whistleblower speaks with former c i a analyst john curiosity on his journey to inventing secure pilot doors up next day, close. ah,
