protest in georgia against a new foreign agent law, enter their 2nd day following tuesday as violent unrest as demonstrators tried to storm the country's parliament with coming to live from the russian capital, this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. we start with the latest news from the don bass, where ukrainian forces have hit residential buildings and don, that's leaving to teenage boys injured. ortiz, roman coast, europe brings the report from the side of the attack. 3 civilians were wounded as a result of ukrainian artillery schilling here hinder nest. 2 of those civilians were children, 2 boys, 12 and 13 years old. were here at the scene right now. you can see the house is

almost completely had destroyed. everything inside is upside down. investigators were working on the scene and they discovered remains of a shell. now there are clear markins here and numbers and the english letter s right here, which she clearly indicates that nato made weapons were used once again, against peaceful civilians. here in the next little year old boy was in his bed during the shilling he was probably on his telephone, playing games like the kids like to do these days after the shilling he managed to get up from his bed bugs huron, as far as say here this is where he collapsed and he was bleeding very profusely. his relatives took the boy right away. they didn't wait for an ambulance and took him to the hospital. currently has doctors are trying to save his life now

. one of the kids in the next house he sustained light injuries. however, this boy right here, the doctors are yet to give a prognosis on how it will ends up. but of course the neighbors, the parents, grandparents, are hoping that he will make it locally. so not the one you, my grandson was line on the bat in his room, the grand on, on the floor. i sat cat on the floor. it's called. i sat to her and go to the washing after that little do the home wake and then it hit us hard. i wasn't in bathroom. the children screamed. i didn't understand at 1st than i looked and saw the blood. my grandsons had and fe syringe, it is actually a smugglers, you're going i heard the 1st blessed send the children into the corridor, but only down on i so ever seen coverage in the smoke. the boy was line and a bed was badly hit by shrapnel vinegar. this boy was badly hurt. he carefully loaded him into the car and his that went with him to the hospital jolla. the sissy of desk is under you crating shelling every single day. there are victims on

a daily basis as well. sometimes they are children, but despite that fact, these parents and their children remain here. hey dennis kansas. they're hoping that very soon they will be able to walk the streets and even stay at home in peace . vermont calls river artie don't escrow public. meanwhile to the other russian front line region is oper oci where ukrainian drones of attack the city of inertia, dark with incendiary shells. local authorities report that ukrainian you avi's attack the cities coastline, sparking fires that spread along power lines. the local administration says the attack was an attempt to spread panic and fear among the cities. residents. authorities also add that a near grid. ours nuclear power station, which is the largest in europe, is continuing to function as normal. ah, not the americans russians or polls, but

a private venture originating in ukraine. that's the latest allegation coming from western press over the nordstrom pipeline blast with reports alleging the culprits were known a week after the attack. it hadn't been carried out by the americans, the russians of the poles. their intelligent service apparently told them, but by a private venture originated in ukraine. they were told this would not be made public and to deflect any questions about why the official investigation into the destruction of the roster german pipeline was moving so slowly for more details on those, those cross live now to our t contributor rachel marston. rachel is good to see you. now what have we learned about this latest media report on the nord streams sabotaged well after mainstream newspapers of record in both united states and germany. so the new york times and zeit came out on tuesday, not even hours apart with stories of anonymous officials in their respective

countries attributing the north stream pipeline sabotaged to an equally unidentified quote pro ukrainian group. now it's britain's turn, the times of london now claims that an unnamed scandinavian delegation that was briefed by their embassy in brussels, about a private actor, absolutely not affiliated with keith that had sponsored this sabotage operation. what strange about this piece is that initially looks like a straight up and down analysis, but then it veers off into a lot of editorializing. for example. it's supposed that the reason why the identity of this mysterious private ukrainian entity was kept under wraps was to prevent germany from having 2nd thoughts about continuing weapons deliveries to keep, obviously, that would be like giving christmas gifts, holiday gifts to the guy who set your house on fire, given the critical nature of the north stream network to the german economy. nieto officials, it appears, wanted to protect ukraine from a public, sped,

with the germany, which had been dragging its heels or whether to deliver vital mil to her aid, including leopard to tangs, and r is t a defense systems, the idea of ukrainians driving a vehicle laden with explosives through poland to launch an attack, only german pipeline from german soil will particularly great on the german public . so what's odd about this time's piece is that it, as it would quote, only be fair to keep the information from germany since they probably already knew who was responsible and that keith had been quote, blindsided by all this new reporting. so keeps the victim, and germany could potentially he another aggressor. but how does the times know for sure that he was blind sided? were they really surprised? are they feigning surprise? how do they know the difference? because there's absolutely no evidence in this analysis actually explaining why

they've come to that conclusion, why they've ruled out keith as a suspect and figure that this is just all something that comes as a big shock to them. it then says that the confusion over the identity of ukrainian operative would, quote, breeds suspicion and would quote, emboldened those in germany who are pressuring all of schultz, the chancellor to curtail military aid and ultimately harm ukraine. so the report goes out of its way to defend authorities handling of this information that received from who knows where it then goes on to defend the unnamed ukrainian saboteur. saying that it wasn't the intent of the quote influential figure, which is interesting. so maybe it's a bigwig, they're talking about to harm relations between keith and germany. yes. think it's also not the intent of bank robbers to go to prison, but they are always really think everything through like all the potential consequences. that doesn't mean that the police ends up withholding their names from the public and yeah,

just maybe the german people wouldn't appreciate this idea that explosives were taken through germany to a port in rostock, germany, from which they set sail to blow up germany's energy lifeline. but it looks like germany is already busy making excuses for shrugging it all off. i do not comment on hypothetical investigations. it could just as well have been a false flag operation, as it was clear from the messages. in other words, to blame pro ukrainian groups and present everything the way the probability of one or the other is equally high. so now we have to wait and see how events will develop. you don't have to think about the consequences for our support of ukraine on the basis of such an investigation, which of course was conducted carefully as scrupulously so, very strong signals going to the german people as to what to think about this. you have to wonder why the times which seems to be doing the same thing is running

interference for this unnamed ukrainian terrorist and why it has a newspaper opted to present this critical breaking news. with heavy handed editorialize framing that tells the public what to think about it all while also serving to inoculate both the perpetrator and he's against any eventual potential blow back. and while kim denies everything, it certainly isn't demanding that the perpetrator running around permitting terrorism in its honor, the identified and held accountable, which is kind of interesting. know. meanwhile, the russian foreign ministry has chimed in to offer a few new plot points to this rapidly evolving western narrative. i would not be surprised if as a result of the elite investigation, the western it's newspapers established that the north stream pipelines were destroyed by dolphin bama escaped from crimea to ukraine. seriously. washington london again down the beaten path of easy controlled leaks in this matter,

forming the agenda they need. this was the case will salisbury and amesbury, nevada, unovia chuck and so on. but the truth is yet to come. i'm sure. who knows, maybe the dolphin vollmer was hanging out with the ghost of key for the heroes of snake island when they all came up with this wonderful bombing idea. certainly a lot of lessons to be learned from this one r t contributor rachel mars been. thank you so much for your time and analysis. and i discussed the latest nordstrom controversy with german politician goon, our back who says berlin will keep supporting kiev even after the new revelations. because the german government is essentially under foreign control. it's clearly not a satisfactory response to the allegations, but i think the main point, the german government, i think everyone's realized by now is not an autonomous actor in the same way in

which say the u. s. government is, or even the french government is the german government is constrained not only, but of course, also by external pressure. the 2nd element is of course, internal compulsion. germany is caught with aiden, circa, of many years of moralizing international relations rhetoric. so it's mover itself into a position where ukraine is played as the holy innocent party in this conflict. and the germans, always eager, always sent us to be seen on the good side have. now i think for the foreseeable future, committed themselves to supporting ukraine. what ever bad news about ukraine may surface? do you think that there should have been a much bigger reaction on germany's part, given the fact that they are directly affected by this job in companies where the

2nd largest shareholders? so what we've seen is that someone has blown up infrastructure, which was partly owned by german companies and which was essential to germany's energy supply. so it's a major attack on the german economy. and the german government has been 82 kids stand by say nothing. and just let it happen. i think it's scandalous now to the capital of georgia, where thousands are gathering on the streets and a protest against our new foreign agent. law rallies have taken place in 10 cities across georgia and are now going into their 2nd. a women have taken to the streets in march against what they called total control, u. s. and e. u flags could be seen in the crowds that began to gather in front of georgia parliament building. we heard from

a local journalists reporting from the center of the month and now also the flooring rate. again. we are always ready today because they had around the most we young. this whole is and

what is happening in president, however, has spoken against the bill, saying that it could threaten the country's ties with europe. hey, scott knows this law can be cancelled in any way you want from day one. i said i would veto this law and i will veto it. i do not care about its article, my article discussion its similarity to the old american law, which we well know, services completely different purpose. those who support this law and those who voted for this law are violating constitution. you're taking us all away from europe. today's a dark day for georgia. democracy parliament's advancement of these kremlin inspired laws is incompatible with the people of george's clear desire for european integration and his democratic development. presumed these laws will demo george's relations with his strategic partners and undermined the important work of so many georgian organizations working to help their fellow citizens, the process, and the draft laws res, real questions about the ruling parties,

commitment to euro atlantic integration. the bill is passed into law will require any organization receiving more than 20 percent of its funding from abroad to be registered as a foreign agent. it's directed against the activities of western non profit organizations and their associates in the country. it has been branded by some as a threat to democracy and george's relations with europe. earlier on tuesday, protest turned violent as rioters broke through a barricade near parliament, all attempting to storm the building. road traffic in the city has been blocked with mass arrests also reported. some of the protesters were seen growing molotov cocktails and stones at police, leaving several officers injured. the georgian parliament speaker drew parallels with the 2014 might on unrest saying, and only brought chaos and d stabilization to ukraine, and then ga, should not go down the same path. what about my done and what did it bring to ukraine? that last crimea and most of la guns can denounced the continuation of fall. this

is the war that is going on in ukraine today. this is the result of the processes that the radicals and ga want. we will act not in accordance with the agenda of the radicals, but in accordance with the interests of georgia and society. there is a course of the rivalry between the government who was to have a dependency decision making not look at question arise. the other hand, there are people who feel bad for the device. this old colleague from the west is something that helps us to get better get closer to your future president, coming in for having these post an idea. so she's probably, she's to do, the protested, but i don't think that the president has more than you think that our, than our government rest seem to be george yet my really list rolled out. it may be a bit more complicated to be involved. the protocol life of georgia society, that is why you're not set for america, which has the same. what was true to low is again the slope because you notice from

okay, insufficient, don't want to have some obstacles. the same is with you. but i would like to mention the heavy annual doesn't mean that you can make some barriers. and so both execution rules are low in north about accepting the flow in general. an unsustainable burden. that's how the nigerian president described the pressure on struggling countries under the system of global financial institutions at a gathering of world leaders and doha. the nature of the global financial system weighs down the least developed countries with an unsustainable external death burden. it represents an unfair debt architecture, as those states are charged more money to borrow on markets and downgraded when they even think of restructuring their debt or applying for relief. for more on this less cross live now to archie, correspond corolla that law, who is joining us from johannesburg corral,

though it's good to see you. now what more can you tell us about the summit of the least developed countries and go ha, what was the main message that was sent from the leaders that are in attendance worry. so that is purely unsustainable for western institution to keep causing this dent. crisis oil employ and indebted countries and not see themselves as part of the problem. in fact, the president of his team. oh, and as far as to say that there is no scrutiny on the part of institutions like the international monetary fund, which has 2 continues to talk rights and walk left numerous times. we've seen and heard the calls by developing countries and indebted countries as to what is expected of them, but very little comes from the other side. and mama,

dubois harry goes as far as to say that as part of the agreement there should be access for products from poor and developing countries to have due to free access to the international market. we are yet to see that. and out of the many, many countries that have been identified by the you and report wish list some 52 countries as a step away from being vulnerable, especially to the inability to repay their debt and suffer large distress in terms of their economic output. if a poor country is be about dead to relieve for debt restructuring their further punished by the downgrading of the said economy, we've seen the u. n. secretary general, antonio gutierrez, coming out to play, to the gallery, as it were, an echo the sentiments and the practices that these poor countries have decried. but has he gone far enough?

has he identified these rich countries who he says are the, the developers of this architecture of dead which continue to painted down poor and developing countries. he has not call about the i m f as massively the role that which it plays when it comes to dead relief for the fall of the onerous requirements that they put on the recipient of the fed debt. but let's hear more from antonio terrace. all global financial system was designed by wealthy countries and largely to that benefit. that is why we are insisting so strongly, namely with the g 2043 for the private equity. many, if you are locked out of capital markets by interest rates and countries that

get the way to middle income spotters are victims the coolest flight of n 3. when support systems vanish before their eyes, graduation must be a reward, will never a punishment. and there's one thing for antonio gutierrez to speak about the fact that graduation must be rewarded. but there is also an owner as burden that is be sent on poor countries, especially those that are in dire financial st. we have seen the delays in the, the signing of a staff level agreement deal for a country like zambia, which was the 1st african country to really be head under the coven. 19 pandemic. it took $271.00 days for a measly $1300000000.00 deal to be agreed. it took so long as some

$180.00 days for $2500000.00 deal to be agreed. while if you look at the median forward developed countries over the last decade, at least, you see that it took some 55 days. and that time could really mean a lot. i world of difference for these poor countries. and it further trips them into debt because they must find a way of surviving vent, long delay for the i m f to approve such a deal. so it's really stacked against developing nations. and they hardly ever seem to graduate from this hold, that the i m f continues to have on them. so largely this, this speech by antonio gutierrez, is seen as, as honorable. but that it doesn't really move the markets as it were. and some leaders in the developing world continues to call for this dan to restructuring with president of the so to going as far as coiling for an all right,

right off of the stead debt. and this is something that can be easily absorbed by these countries. let's hear more from the president of the steel. let us be frank, if really men and when will use the words international partners or partnership than the many parts of this partnership must equal the share success stories and failures stories. i notice that our partners have a tendency to cast old blame on the recipient partner for failures and avoid scrutiny of their own 8 programs. the certainly might have contributed to the failures. now her, although while africans blame the debt crisis on the western financial says demand the i in that it looks like the worst is trying to shift the blame to china's so called debt trout. how is china responding to these allegations? well, china has learned to really stand up for itself and notice that they are being perpetually

pinned down as the bogeyman while they were, in some cases, really the only other country that would lend money to indebted african countries. and as much as the west can try and pin china down as the real reason why there is no movement with regards to issues of dead dream. the truth is that the i m f has been lending to countries since, you know, the 2nd world war. and they have gone on many calls for the reforms of how the land and the restructuring of these payments that they should be leaving these institutions. they've had to deal more with the application for dead restructuring and dead relief than china has had to. and that is something that the new fine as the new foreign minister rather in china, has come out to defend and really called the west out on. let's hear more from the

foreign minister of 10. so i was in china should be the last one to be accused of the so called debt trap. data shows that multilateral financial institutions and commercial creditors account for over 80 percent of the sovereign debt of developing countries. they are the biggest source of the dead burden on those countries. particularly since last year, the unprecedented rabbit interest high ex, by the united states, have led to massive capital outflows in many countries and have worse and the debt problems in the countries concerned. china will continue to participate constructively and resolve an international that issues and that really goes towards what the i am, have his forming from his assistance and pegging, you know, at the debt to the american currency, in a sense that i am, have really serves the american interest that serves to protect the interests of

way it is based and that the u. n. in this case, although considering way it's headquartered, really falls short of calling out it's big eth donna, and that is the united states of america. certainly a lot of important takeaways coming out of the latest talks our case corolla. thank you so much for that report. ah, in the central african republic, a local women's movement has march in support of russia's contribution to restoring peace and security in the african country. demonstrators were seen waving russian flags as they march towards the country's embassy and the capital city. the activists handed over a formal letter of gratitude to the russian diplomatic stout. they're the african nations government says it wants to increase the number of russian military instructors in the country as there's currently some to 1000 of them. they're

helping local security forces to combat islamist and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. with western capitals in the reply of corporate media continue to maintain the west is not at war with russia. however, the fact is, data is a co belligerent, supplying financial support, arms and diplomatic cover for kids when the west claims. otherwise, it means it's a russian state. oh,

never does. on the north lansky with fishy baffled distal occlusal 90000 speedy. when else with we will ban in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machine. the state on crush us today and sports or t sports that even our video agency, roughly all band on i said with o. 2 imagine this, it's immediately after the $911.00 attacks, you're an agent and the transportation security administration. in the united states, you see something that could lead to another terrorist attack. and you report to

your supervisors, what happens next? they fire you. i'm john kerry aku and you're watching the whistleblowers. ah, today we're talking with t s a whistleblower robert mclean. bob is both typical and a typical of many national security whistleblowers. he's typical in the respect that he saw evidence of waste fraud abuse or illegality. and he said something about it without any regard for what it would do to his career. he blew the whistle because it was the right thing to do. he paid a very heavy price for it, which will tell you about in a moment. but he's a typical in that he has proven time and time again that he's literally not afraid of anybody. he's taken on his immediate bosses and he's taken on senior u. s. government officials all the way up to the secretary of homeland security. he
