and why does the memory of belinda do divide people? oh, i a washington was funding research into corona viruses in a chinese lout. that's the claim of the u. s. health official during the latest hearing in washington into the origins of coven 19. but the revelation flying in the face of the mainstream us near an assassination attempt in moldova trans, mr. region are getting senior officials has been forwarded according to local authority to say, premium agents were behind the plant. a

political opposition and the republic of georgia says it will only end its mass protest if the government quit. that's just by parliament pulling the controversial legislation that ignited the demonstration. we report from the nation's capital a coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories and be our welcome to the program. american tax dollars funded the research that led to the creation of the corona virus and the copay pandemic. that revelation came during the latest hearings in washington into the origin of cobit 19, and it flies in the face of the mainstream us narrative, led by doctor anthony found she dr. robert redfield, former director of the us centers for disease control and prevention, testified before members of congress, but the national institute of health could be behind the creation of the deadly

virus. do you think that doctor found she intentionally lied under oath to senator paul when he vehemently denied an age his funding of gain of function research? i think there's no doubt that n i h was funding in a function research. is it likely that american tax dollars funded the gain of function research? i created this virus. i think you did on only from an age put from the state department usa idea and from doing well, red field testified that early on he believe the virus had been engineered and he was excluded from later calls because he took that position. he went on to talk about this paper that it appears was generated, and while he could speak to dr. foul geez, motivations for prompting this study. he said that it does appear now. you know that this study was, was intended to translate and prevents and,

and circumvent the idea that cobit was originated in a lab that it was a man made virus. if you really want to be truthful, it's antithetical to science. this was a narrative that was decided that they were going to say, this came from a what market. and they were going to do everything they could, the supported to negate any discussion about the possibility that this came from alarm. now, doctor found you repeatedly denied that the national institute of health had funded gain of rock. thanks and research in 2021. you didn't give money to the woo on lab to do again the function research that is correct, dr. vouching, knowing that is a crime to lie to congress. do you wish to retract your statement of may 11th, where you claimed that the and i age never funded, gain of function research and woo on senator paul, i have never lied before the congress. you gave them money and you said don't do gain of function research, correct? and they said, we won't correct how you can say that is not gain of it is not,

it's a dance and you're dancing around this because you're trying to obscure a responsibility for 4000000 people dying around the world, from a panoramic and center to pull you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly, and i want to say that officially, you do not know what you are talking about. now this all comes as revelations seem to indicate that in february 2020 doctor found you prompted a study that was intended to show that the virus did not come from a lab. and that has raised a lot of outrage republicans or calling for dr. valgy to be put behind bars. and this comes as a way of the immunization of china from u. s. officials and u. s. media blaming china for the pandemic. now china has was back and said united states should returning serious public health issues into political weapons. new report, anatomy origins of coven, 19 the u. s. energy department,

now differing from some other government agencies that of the f. b, i and the united states has said the corona virus pandemic is most likely to have emerged from a chinese laboratory, created deliberately for research, but leaked unintentionally into the world. china predictably is furious and pushing back the lack of cooperation from china has made it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the pandemic seems lovely, is extremely unlikely. this is an authoritative scientific conclusion that experts from china and the world health organization reached after visiting the relevant laboratory and to hand and holding in debt exchanges with relevant researchers. the relevant party should start playing up the lot, leak theory, stop smearing china and stuff. politicizing the issue of origin tracing. now at this point, these new revelations about the national institute of health i and dr. valgy and his statements. and these studies that were commissioned all seem to indicate that

you officials have something to hide. they're trying to point a finger at china, but it looks like some of their own behavior has serious questions that could be raised ah, and to the break away moldova, in region of trans mr. right along the ukrainian border. where authorities say they have sort of a terrorist attack the head of trans, mr. claims that ukrainian national security agents were not only targeting several senior local officials, but also out to cause the mass civilian casualties. then that you, this is jessica. this terrorist attack was aimed directly at the elimination of officials of our republic. at the same time, this place was not chosen by chance. this is the intersection of one of the central streets of the city of to ross pool. nearby, there is a chain of shops, a school, and even out of rush hour. there were still a lot of people there. this suggest that the calculation was not only the death of the official, but also on the mass. death of people comma,

according to available information. this terrorist attack was sanctioned and prepared by the security service of ukraine, all persons who had attained and wanted. and i'll also directly related to the security service of ukraine, the sad terrorist attack course as nation attempt was supposed to take place in the sensor of terrace ball, which has and the capital of the breakaway region trans. mr. and it was targeting the leader all for trans mr. vadim accustomed sale ski. that wanted to use a land and land rover. and that's where they had the explosives, 8th kilograms of hexagon, explosives, as well as wire screws and asked to basically maximize the impact. and according to sources was spoken to the impact would have been the radius hundreds of meters and it would have, would have seen dozens of casualties if in fact this happened. and it wasn't only the head of a trans nature, but also other high level officials that there were targeting now has multiple

arrests. had the made one of them in particular, 40 year old man who was already a local criminal who moved to odessa some 12 years ago in ukraine. and apparently there he joined ukraine security services. this is what he claims now, because the suspects hung are confessing from what we hear from the regional minister of defense. and they claim that it was ukraine's security services who organized this and also coordinated this out. but of course, as we know, ah, it was afford said, now let's hear some more from what the secure of christmas sale, what he had to say about this attack, mr. de delusional. but to sean, the place where this terrorist attack was supposed to occur shows us that it was meant to target top government officials and to no less extent, inflict numerous civilian casualties. the terrorist attack was prepared to be conducted in the center of the city of t ross, paul, among a large number of our citizens. now a criminal case has been opened and also when know that the head of

a trans mistress back in his office with maximum security, as you can imagine. and they are planning for possible scenarios of a repeat to make sure that they are ready. they also want answers from ukraine based on what these suspects have told them, are in mainland moldova, the government there says they have no idea what is going on there that heard nothing about any terrorist attack and trans leister. so this is where we're at right now. we heard earlier from a political expert with the association of trans nister's, independent analysts who, beliefs key f will have no other choice but to respond to an attack if it happens. do so in the previous throw. so she had to miss its of course, the residence of trans nice to has been in a state of normal vigilance, so least months. we have no panic, no hysteria, people don't flee the republic. but perhaps this bothers some individuals, which is why they want to destabilize the situation. no possible ways from

a psychological attacks, an attempt on the head of the state and other officials. the trust me to leadership will contact kevin the very near future, the clarification about this situation. in any case, this already been an official address. the facts have been stated and they'll have to be responded to somehow. therefore, it seems to me that he have will have to react precisely and clearly here, this is not a situation where one can keep silence. o ration security services have claimed their polish counterparts were involved in a recent attack on a key russian early warning and control aircraft on del russian territory with a high degree of probability. it can be argued that the special services of poland are also involved in karen. now this action, this is evidenced by the fact that several people from among the so called fugitives who are currently on the territory of poland, were involved in it. the polish services were accused of delivering drones to bella ruth and helped organize the sabotage, helping with the entry and exit of

a terrorist into the country. it had been initially thought that the russian plane had been the target of a long strike, but it later emerged that the drone had been used for recognizance developer as president, has soon claimed the ukrainians special service agent, and more than 20 of his accomplices involved. and sabotage had been detained. in addition to these new claims about full involvement and sabotage, operation force also provided more than $2000000000.00 and military assistance to ukraine last year alone. the, let's turn now to some breaking news. 7 people have been killed in at least 8 injured in a shooting at a church and the german city of hamburg thoughts, according to local media reports, police have worn people living nearby to take shelter. ah, the political opposition in georgia is now demanding the current government resign

. it comes after 2 days of coordinated violent protests, which the opposition says won't end despite the parliament scrapping a controversial foreign agents bill, the legislation was cancelled after 2 nights of unrest with western partners condemning the proposal, then n yos need to show where their money is coming from the demand from demonstrators to release, all those are rusted. during the 1st few days, the protest was also met by the government. the number of those gathering near the georgian parliament as has been growing by the thousands and what appears to be so far a peaceful demonstration we heard from locals about what brought them to the streets . we know the day open light up and we've seen that they have made to big promises before and they've lied to us so we don't trust them anymore. and we want to make sure that it, they have a history, a strong background to lie to us. and unless they put that in

ap shanice and take away that a law that project that they're trying to enforce on us, we're not gonna believe in those live stories also like job recommended from 0 p and union to be withdrawn. so, but our government, against, of, we, of its own people approved you slow. so we do, monday we do monday. the was that all of zillow just go and go. we might do remind you in the irish, conventional to governmental, cham could see behind me the parliament building where thousands of protesters have gathered. for the 3rd night in a row, they just launched a new demand to the government, demanding the resignation of the parliament. this is after both of the main demands and the protesters were actually met by the parliament, the 1st one being the release of all protestors. levin detained throughout these protests and riots. and the 2nd one being the rescinding of this law that started

these protests in the 1st place. that of course, was a law, a dropped law that the georgia parliament passed that would see on non governmental organizations in this country that make over 20 percent of their income from foreign sources register as foreign agencies, we've seen a lot of anti russian sentiment here. ukranian flags, american lags european union flags alongside the georgia ones. and they've been calling this proposed law that started this all a russian style law. that's despite the fact that this law does exist in russia, but was 1st passed in the united states all the way back in 1938. and it actually carries much more severe consequences. criminal ones, including jail time for employees of organizations that fail to register as opposed to in russia where organizations that failed to register would simply receive a fine. now you can see behind me the protest has today been so far peaceful. but this has been the case over the past 2 days earlier in the night. around midnight

is when really we started to see violence erupt. protesters throwing molotov cocktails and rocks and objects and police building barricades. and they've been tried to storm the parliament building twice. the police have obviously responded with tear gas and water cannons. and i was actually in the thick of it. yesterday i got tear gassed and saw the action 1st hand. now, the government is actually divided on this issue. the parliament is at odds with the president who was in the united states. when all of this, all of these protests broke out. she released a video with the statue of liberty behind her, putting her support in the, in for the protests and denouncing the part of the parliament support for this law . the protesters have also said that they're going to gather around 11 a to verify that the parliament is indeed going to revoke its support for the scrap

law it passed earlier. so we're going to be there and we're of course, going to bring you all the details as they become available in years, oil imports from russia, head and all time high last month, reaching $1600000.00 barrels per day, surpassing the combined imports from 2 other major crude suppliers are rock and saudi arabia, r t correspondent in india, where john sharma takes up the story. the, you quaint conflict on the south sequence western sanctions against moscow, germany to the idea, all ruby treat as india, boost it, or the butcher moscow. molly, us land where some sanctions against moscow are washing or non traditional dollar dominance from the global market. and that's what india is doing. now. it is basically settling is oil tree in, in all the are, these are the dollars and hulu, as well as ford news agency writers. by the way,

the trade between the oil between the 2 countries, india and russia has, it's another record, last month in february, in imported more than 1600000 barrels of russian crude. dave. and that's in fact more than combined one of the 40 from iraq as well. the saudi arabia remember, goes to war in diaz, dominant, and traditional or suppliers. no, as far as a bill share or rush, you know tremendously one percent in india and ask it from the beginning of the conflict in february 2022 to almost cut the 5 percent share. now that's the tri check tree of india or import indian companies see that it's always possible to find a u. haul the spike continuous sanctions on russia. bass,

russian supplies will find some other banks for receiving payments. as it is, the government is not asking us to stop buying rush, no ill. so we are hopeful with an alternative payment mechanism will be found in case the current system is blocked. look, you know, he does not recognize the sanctions against moscow. and therefore, majority of jesus, russian oil, the don, it's done in any con, see that it's complied to, in fact, hello seat. and the last few weeks has been done in rules. so clearly, lou was a working, and the factions are not. voices are now heard in europe, that one complete separation from russia. we have to be careful, now, desires. russia will not disappear, but it will remain the used largest neighbor pretending that the country can be economically isolated like north korea is a fallacy. this is simply impossible. well found was the westland by the u. s. fashion rising, your day to distance itself from moscow may really feel because india chose to do

what since india the best. now also beyond russia, tensions between china as well as the west, is in a sense, humility or puncturing the dollar. dominance in global trade, china reduce is mornings or don't are the remember last year russian president vladimir didn't also said that moscow has agreed to sell gas applies to beijing in local garden seats, heated debates, a rage on the floor of u. s. congress, as the house continues its prob, went to the so called twitter files. the journalist behind the revelations mat idb testified on how the promise of a free speech space went so wrong. what we found in the files was a sweeping effort to reverse that promise and use machine learning and other tools to turn the internet into an interim instrument of censorship and social control.

unfortunately, our own government appears to be playing a lead role. twitter, facebook, google and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government from the f b i the d h s the h h s d o d, the global engagement center at state. even the ca, tavia, comments. com after he released another trove of previously confidential twitter documents relating to the company's moderation policy. the files document how the corporation arbitrarily censored online content working hand in hand with us authorities and other big tech companies. videos in tweets were also red flagged if quote, anti ukraine pro russia or pro iran narratives were found. perhaps surprisingly, most censorship request came from liberal and jose and not the us government. t v and radio host the walls burg believes the revelations by mat tie

e b have unearthed a web of complicity in free speech violations by the u. s. government and state funded and g o. he's talking about just about every government agency, you could imagine having an active role in deciding what gets on the social media platforms. what does it, it's really, really frightening. there's, it is something called and this is, according to math i. e b and his tweets today, the aspen institute, which of receives money from among other places, the federal government, and the aspen institute in 2021 to hell. the big shouldn't being out in aspen, colorado, and they came up with a report on, on how to handle social media. and basically they said that the government should have access to, to everything that to, to names and information and data on the users. and any dis information, anybody who puts out again this information they should be put in like a user jail if you will, where they're taken off the platform for a while. and they decided that even if it means loss of freedom,

the government should police this the, the federal trade commission is conducting a harassment of twitter. and their purpose is to, to go after elan must because they don't like what he has done to twitter. what he's done to twitter is, 1st of all, he handed over all these internal documents and e mails, enabling matt to be in the other journalists to come up with the, the twitter file. also the f. t c wants from twitter. they want the names of every journalist, reportedly of every journalist who was involved in he getting any information from twitter. with regard to the twitter files i. wimbledon has came to pressure to lift the ban on russian and bell russian tennis players. but with conditions players from the 2 countries will need to participate under neutral science and show no support for russia. the u turn comes after one will then was stripped of its rankings points last year for both the men's and women's tours. the lawn tennis

association had been threatened to chad, even threatened to take away and license to hold tournaments if the van was not overturn. before confirming their decision. when will that officials are seeking to have players sign a strict code of conduct? according to reports, the code will restrict any show of support for russia, such as carrying a national flag or even talking positively about the country which would lead to sanctions, or even the expulsion of the athlete from the tournaments. sports call a mess and co host of capital sports, 3.0, alan more so when will that has a checkered history when it comes to key decisions? it's not long ago. we blew was also trying to go. so people of color, it also was not a people, it's also a people who are catholic. so this is, this is a very, very much all point in every sense to me on the where all those new later, this is very much, it is

a regime. and that's all it is story and we can just simply put it like that. and what they're doing there, because it just bear with me hundreds of pounds a week or you know, but that's not the way it is. and we have to just look at it. it has been sport as a whole. has been hijacked, by a vested interest, who will turn a turn on whoever it is next to wanting to a lot of countries and people are going to live very simply. couple welcome to reach our 2032. terrific. it went off. well, it was great. we were in a different country place, you want to go to the order standing it out to look for is you, what did we hear coming from, for example, the british media, where we go 3 to okay, is there way we go the are,

there was this sneering narrative that went through as you said, a 50 percent or less or 10 percent or sneering. they're going to. ready a country or want that they want to be? no problem. pretty americans, the biggest air base military base and the least. tar ah, the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan was a catastrophe. that's the renting testimony from a u. s. marine corps veteran who is on the ground and cobble while american troops made their departure to withdraw was a catastrophe in my opinion. and there was an ex inexcusable lack of accountability and negligence. the 11 marines, one sailor grant, one soldier, there were murdered, that they have not been answered for the withdrawal spurred a refugee crisis in the country with many afghans trying to leave hearing the

taliban would seek revenge against those cooperating with the u. s. i mid project scenes at the cobble airport, where crowds of afghans were rushing the departing plains. the last american troops withdrew from afghanistan on october 30th, 2021. nearly $200.00 people were killed by a suicide bombing at the site, including us soldiers, the aftermath of washington's rapid exit resulted in the abandonment of $17000.00 arms, including military vehicles and rifles captured by the taliban. left behind on the military airfield, retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. karen, quite cowski. feels the pentagon never had any comprehensive strategy and afghanistan to begin with. good, that we're hearing these things. on the other hand, you know, the 20 years was talk about the 20 years we spent in afghanistan or more. what was accomplished, there was not the build up of trust, but the elimination of trust. and so it is withdraw would've been hard in any case,

but we didn't develop any institutions and good knowledge of what was going on in that country and how it worked in order to withdraw safely. and that's, that's really a, a crime. it appears to me that even the military side wasn't performing as well as it should. and i think in part, many military officers, career people looked at afghanistan as a weight of punch their ticket. we need to do a tour in afghanistan before we go on to the pentagon or some other higher, you know, assignment. and you know, it just, you know, they used afghanistan in many ways just to get promoted rather than some sort of comprehensive strategy that the pentagon might have put forward to end the occupation of afghanistan. they never had that. and clearly they, they,

i mean that's, that's what, that's what this testimony tells me. we never had a plan from the beginning. nato secretary general stoughton burke says that allowing the koran to be burned shouldn't prevent sweden from entering nato 1st cuts after tortilla defended his decision. to block stock homes, membership pointing out the fact that the country allowed the holy bird book to be sat on fire. i voided his door. this is an issue. they was not included in the agreement and should not prevent sweden from becoming a member of nato. i have conveyed to turkey that people can have different opinions on quran burning. many countries have laws that restrict such actions, but you can't been everything you don't like. as long as almost been in this job, we will not say yes to your entry into nato as long as you allow our holy book, the koran to be burned and torn apart, as well as allowed us to be done with the approval of your security personnel. it was late january when political activist ross miss paula dunn burned the holy hor

on in front of the turkish embassy in stockholm. the incident sparked widespread criticism across the islamic world. it also sat back sweden's bed to join nato, with her here holding veto power over sweden's extension to the military alliance. this, while many europeans have been calling the act, an expression of freedom of speech. trilateral talks between sweden, finland inter kia are due to be held in brussels on thursday. is to discuss the matter earlier on car stated that it will not support stockholm's application objecting to the waste. we'd in handles groups like the kurdistan workers party, an organization that turkey considers terrorist international law. professor meso, cason says that sweden does not fit the all for one nato principal. the thing about them is any independent state and aim to be to be another member. however,

if they want to be not to a member, they have to be open. the mean idea of they do net their 1st glass. first, they have to apply things together to international terrorism. and they provide, even though the situation, they do a sabbath back and they continue forgotten that against the charity, especially against our president and it and when looking on acceptable situation to our whole, the biggest scrub when it, looking the, you know, right. the idea on kara will not accepted the submit. the application really can article why. former commander in the turkish are purchased cars are still there, is stealing article. why one for all, all the, for one. how can you coming see them to protect our nation? that's all for now. be here to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you next time the.
