a good story with with moscow says the russian air force did not bring down an american military grown over the black sea, labeling the incident, a probably cation and stating it crash after suffering a flight failure. also, i had a terrorist attack is no longer a secret. moreover, it was a terrorist act committed, ready state level, because no amateurs, amid an attack like the nurturing pipeline bombing was a state long term terrorist attack. while the western version of events is complete, nonsense reporting to vladimir and kenya, struggles with an influx of electronic waste from develop western countries,

causing severe damage to the wider east african apology. ah, good morning for mark international use in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories worldwide. farrell is about the russian ambassador to the u. s. anatoly. antonia of says 2 things. incident involving a crushed american surveillance thrown in waters off the crimea. coast is a u. s provocation, as the u. s. drones, plains and ships have no business being that close to russian borders. he was summoned to the state department in washington over the incident and later gave comments to the press. he also said that the drone stalled, after executing sharp maneuvers and that the interceptors did not come into contact with yes, you there still, it's on the face ship, i work out. so i sing. this is surreal provocation. it used to be most importantly,

she was relieved, and american, their graph and shapes have went often to do new borders of the russian federation . can you imagine that such an aircraft drone was suddenly appearing in new york or san francisco? however, as i want to emphasize underwriting by this very professionally, there was no contact, only, there were no use a weapon. similar to this, jerome made a shop you turn and crush. the drones last location was reportedly around 60 kilometer south west of the crimean port of 7 stobel. the reaper drone is considered a highly capable weapon, able to carry multiple missiles and bombs, as well as conduct surveillance. washington accused moscow of intentionally bringing down the military drone and allegation which rushes ministry of defense has denied. the u. s. defense department was reluctant to clarify when asked whether the drone was armed. what kind of caution going forward or

company aircraft, or where was this aircraft armed? so i'm not going to get into the specific profile of this particular aircraft. as you know, the m q 9 does have the ability to be armed. it was again conducting an ios, our mission in international airspace. something that we've been doing for some time, the u. s. as acute rushing jets of downing a drone over the black same what it described as an unsafe, an unprofessional intercept. one of the jet struck the propeller of the drug, so the operators into the sea that's according to the us european command. now the russian is believe to be heading towards crimea when the incident occurred. us officials have said this and president joe biden was informed of the incident on tuesday morning. the u. s. has someone, the russian ambassador in washington to the state department in relation to the incident. and the pentagon has said that the drone, it will,

it claims that jerome was carrying out surveillance, but it hasn't said whether or not the drug was armed. and earlier, the u. s. air force issued a statement accusing the russian act of acting. what it said was a reckless environment, the unsound, an unprofessional man accusing the russian aircraft of incompetence. now, in a press conference, a pentagon official insisted, the drone was carrying out surveillance in international airspace. well, this isn't the 1st incident of its kind in the area involving the western military involvement, right. know we do know that last october, ukraine carried a massive drone attack. i think it was 9 drones that were launched on the russian black, safely to chrome, my import city of sylvester, poland, and moscow cues british troops being involved in that incident. and of course, that led to russia and spending its involvement in the international broker deal with the allow the grain exports to leave from ukraine imports. and last month, ukraine said that it was relying on coordinates, provided or can firm by the united states and its allies,

for the vast majority of it strikes using these advanced you as provided rocket systems. and of course, this cast major doubt on washington's claims of non belligerents re patrolling her sometimes known as the predator b. and they are hunter killer unmanned aerial vehicles. they're designed for long endurance and high altitude surveillance, but they've also been described as the most dangerous military drone on earth. and they are controlled remotely. they're able to carry heavier payloads. and you know, what we do know is that that cost, again, a doubt over the nature of this particular operation. we still don't know what the dro drone was doing in a, in the area the, the u. s. of course, claims that it was carrying out a surveillance, but russia has, as we heard earlier, broken down and dismissed those claims. former pentagon security policy analyst, michael maloof, says the american drone was likely being used to cover shots for the ukrainian

military. that drone probably was used to guide and to give assistance to ukrainians on the ground for targets. i'm a little puzzled by the damage to a propeller by a, by a russian jet without it sustaining without the russian jets sustained damage. but i haven't heard any reports of any damage to the russian aircraft. if in fact it rammed it. that's the only way that this could have happened. so there's still more to the story, the fact that it was, it does show, however, the extent to which the united states is providing assistance to, to, to ukraine without actually putting boots on the ground. but it is in effect, the acting assisting as approx, seeing the ukraine as

a proxy in this conflict against russia. the terrorist attack, which crippled the north stream pipelines last september, was committed at a state level. that's the message from russian president vladimir putin. good number to scuse the fact that this is a terrorist attack is no longer a secretary. moreover, it was a terrorist act committed at a state level because no amateurs could commit an attack like this. if you could shoot his muse if a quantum onto go up to the person destination was the modem been without going to put you in several newspapers, allegedly state, and some ukrainian activists had organized the attack. and it was especially emphasized abuse activists had no, nothing to do with the cranium government. how do you feel about these version? some of those are loose with eden stuart. i'm sure that this is complete nonsense. an explosion of this kind at such an dep room where should only be carried out by especially supported by going to power of the state each has the required technology. but you're so right now russia is trying to get the united nations to

launch an independent inquiry into the north stream, sabotaged or as russian president vladimir putin says, terrorist attack, the only enquiries they're happening right now, are the equivalent of suspects to a crime. having their friends say that they'll look into it and then let everyone else know what happened and the west just seems to think that that's fine and that they can investigate themselves. and in the mean time float this narrative all across the mainstream. lester media, citing unnamed intelligence officials in each country like the u. s. in germany, for example, who are all conveniently blaming the whole thing on some quo pro ukrainian group with no identity beyond that, but which magically absolves absolutely all actual countries and states from any and all responsibility were supposed to believe that some random dude came up with a bright idea to get together 5 other random deeds to load massive amounts of explosives onto a boat at a port in germany. sail out into nato waters and blow the steel pipes and their

concrete encasement. 20 days after their excursion, remotely investigative journalist seymour hersh, who attributed the attack to a u. s. leg special operation in conjunction with norway, isn't buying it. you tried to verge attention from the story that i wrote, which included enormous specifics. i was describing a process that began before christmas of 2021 didn't involve the the national security advisor, jake sullivan, of the white house of the, for the president. they had a series of meetings at a secret room in the white house. meanwhile, there's a total lack of outrage here in europe from the establishment. their silence is deafening. considering that the north st network is a joint project with major european energy companies and russia's gas prompt to secure europe's energy needs. now, according to what's been seen recently in the russian media, sweden, denmark, and germany, 3 countries near the attack. and that should have had some information about it are

not engaging with russian authorities trying to figure out what happened to you ma'am, which is very difficult for us to conduct our own investigation if we're not even allowed to access the site of this terrorist attack. no, only gas bron received permission from dania florida again investigates. it's not an explosion. gas rom did not limit itself to the study of the very place of the globe along the gas pipeline itself. the ship rented by gas bra moved on and at a distance of about 30 kilometers the explosion site. the column was found which included a similar, similar to where the explosion was occurred. these are the most vulnerable places in the gas pipeline. the junction of players experts believe that this may be an antenna for receiving a signal is, will activate an explosive device that can be placed, the nice and my family. and now of course, we would like to get permission from danish authorities to manually together with them, or even better by forming an international group of explosive experts to carry out the necessary research. apparently, several exposed devices were planted, some exploded, and some didn't. the reasons why we should 1st with them would. so obviously some

neutral authority really does need to intervene here like the u. n. and a letter has been sent from the russian ambassador to the united nations to the security council to that effect. but the west certainly doesn't seem interested and demanding its own answers. former us marine corps intelligence officers. scott ritter says washington committed an economic pearl harbor style attack on europe. jeremy's economy has taken a big hit right out in a large part of that is because of high energy cost. united states has not been able to supplant russian gas, so it would go into quantities and other pricing that makes it viable for germany and germany, which are stamped in the back by the american partners or american allies o carried out an economic pearl harbor on germany sweets claim to find explosive traces at the floor of the baltic sea near the explosion device. la compare and

contrast are these the same? they come from the same source but, but they're not talking white is the sweet say they can't talk about it because will harm their national security. what threat could possibly exist the sweden's national security, exposing russian malfeasance? no sweden will get a. did a metal for that job expose in american involvement? there's the problem. the switch hath be quite because they want to be members of nato, and people who want to be members of nato. don't go about exposing the largest member of nato as perpetrator of this terrorist act of this act of war against germany and europe. we know who carried it out. we have a confession from the american president joe biden. did he back to february 7th of last year, where he promised that if russian tanks entered the ukraine north street to be taken out, he guaranteed it ah, electronic waste from developed. western nations has become

a growing threat to kenya's ecology as the east african nations struggles with growing pollution. the amount of predominantly western e waste products has increased by more than 17 times since 2012, with less than 20 percent of the dangerous junk being taken. care of. this contributes to severe climate change lead routes across east africa, exposing the whole region to the risk of mass starvation. a local journalist center this report on kenya, struggle to ease is ecological burden. in kenya, the largest source of use is from discarded electronic equipment and plants is these items often imported from developed countries, a 2nd on equipment and end up in their canyon informal recycling sector. when some of the youth is generated by kinetic self, many develop nations are using this country and its neighbors of a dumping ground. electronic work is becoming a significant environmental concern in kenya and the rest of the african continent

. the amount of view is diluted on your knees exponentially growing with an increase. you said your electronic gadgets when huge golf exists in the proper disposal of the ways with only 4 lines as recycling companies in a country of nearly 50000000 people. most of it often ends up in the landfills. we're italy says mercury lead and other toxic substances. one of the kenya's u. s. companies elite is trying hard to reduce the swelling tide. looking forward to the pop us, the electronic trash used we should have kenya is an an government organization which was started in the year 2015 and got reduced that in 2016. ah. our core business is electronic waste management, super specific or in the form of victor. ah, this is because we realized that the 0 to be with being mishandled in infomatica i. so we, we are, is that is of, is a need to thought an organization that can create a realist among lead for more,

he was counted as electronic, worse was, his detrimental had hovered through the canyon's on the environment. if not properly addressed these calls for action by the government on this, they coordinate to find proper ways of dealing with the problem. i think decisions, but yet they will be seated. and on working around you find a lot of wits end the waste in them. you had history fine. ah, he was in them. so yeah, the specialness wasn't neatness, bad, and big citizens and the government is not doing enough in he's both lewis. so i think about that. we had a bad thing because you'll find out you'll find they do with mountains and do a lot of day, but then let them into the humans or want to know art news might be

an, a jerry, an economist, and blogger thinks, africa has found itself at the bottom of the food chain with the west using it as an outsource market for dumping. it's waste. be enough to just sort of seen as a 2nd secondary, tertiary market. we tried to rescue some of the gotcha. so we tried to reuse some of the metal, some of the wires and so on. well, the 1st of the schools are least devastating on the environment. and a lot of that ends up pollution and also, and so for losing the worth of table, if not window, even something to the reverse and so on and so forth. so it is sort of evoke for pixel off fuck of africa beam right at the bottom of the, of the, of the pecking order of the food chain as to where the size, the guest dumped into africa uses the size of 350 cruise sheeps ok,

it gets dumped into africa in terms of e with every yeah, that's the 2019 figure. as a huge number we made of tie in our laws and begin to, you know, end evades. i think in this regard, right in our laws, i mean shorter whatever. it's called me me here. um, you know, when i switch any down here, i know we need to step up and, and show what push back. you know, again this, this semester dumping off toxic waste the ukrainian military fired 3 rockets over the border into the russian city of belgrade over nights. authority say all the projectiles were intercepted by russian defences, but fragments damaged residential buildings. this isn't the 1st attack on the city with russian air defenses regularly shooting down rockets. another attack also hit rushes that rogia region on tuesday, with one person killed and 3 others injured in a car. bombing in the city of maley,

toefl victims of the blasts were rushed to the hospital, where one, a prominent local businessman was pronounced dead. other casualties including a child, are still receiving treatment. local authorities are investigating the attack, which was reportedly carried out with an improvised explosive device to the front lines in don bass. now, where russia's wagner group has reportedly taken control over the northern part of the industrial zone of as in the city of our field, most also known as by moot. verified footage circulating online confirms russian control over the stock marsh plants where president lensky commended ukrainian soldiers for defending the city back in december. the amazon plant is one of the city's main strongholds, as it provides the area with an intricate web of underground mines. useful in defense of operations, the area has been

a focus of intense fighting for months with entrench ukrainian troops now almost fully surrounded. the russian army reportedly attacked the rear of the ukrainian forces that were sent to reinforce already almost overnight. that shortly after president the landscape office announced that it will keep defending the strategic city a major foothold and logistics hub for the ukranian army. while the ukrainian armies attention is focused on the battle for the almost with major reinforcements sent to the area r t is on the ground and the guns republic, or cheesy, or shot off brings of more the soil here in the spring time, dawn bass is very close to quicksand, parts of this forest. this is a complete not many vehicles can cross this terrain freely and safely. thanks. i sadly, among those that can ah,

these tanks belong to the euro, separatists sold battalion to say they know their enemy in the face is hardly an exaggeration. a 100 meters is sometimes good separate. besides, caves all seeing eyes focused on the battle for book moat and russian troops here in the loo, ganske republic have been trying to capitalize on the distraction. ukrainian command has drawn reinforcements, but they're often gathered out of yesterday's trainings without real combat experience. who become easy prey,

such accuracy would be impossible without drones. there's such a swarm of them in the skies every day, every minute that it's not uncommon for russian and ukrainian birds to meet and duke it out like this. one is down, this time the russian drone literally came out on top and intention, the entirety of the russian force shares with every heart in their ranks. and magus done of reporting from the dumbass our t. and while the u. s. continues to funnel arms to ukraine, several republican presidential hopefuls gave their stance on the ukrainian conflict and the role the u. s. plays reflecting the sentiment of many americans are chief. caleb martin has more popular tv house, tucker carlson, decided to reach out to potential republican candidates for president those who announced and those who may announce but have not yet announced and asked them

about their position on the continued us support for ukraine in opposition to russia. first question, he asked was regarding the issue of the united states and whether or not it had a strategic interest in aiding ukraine against russia. this is the responses that he received. while the u. s. has many vital national interests become infer entangled in the territorial dispute between ukraine and russia is not one of them . president biden's, blank check. foreign policy in ukraine has drawn nothing but ridicule and disdain from our adversary's, and has diverted funding from essential needs in the united states throwing money. ukraine with no accountability or objective is clearly fading. no, it's not vital. rather, this is a stark reminder of what is a vital american national strategic interest, national energy independence. now the vac, rama swami, who is a potential presidential candidate in the united states with indian roots had some

other interesting things to say about the issue. here's more of his response to tucker carlson's questions. china wants to ukraine war to last as long as possible to deplete western military capacity before invading taiwan. it's working. we think we appear stronger by helping ukraine, but we actually become weaker visit the china. i believe in america 1st 2 point, oh and we should at least get the europeans to europe 1st 1.0. we actively undermine this very objective by offering a bottomless pit of aid to ukraine. now, among the candidates who spoke in favor of continuing to escalate and send weapons to the regime and kyo, a mike hats was the most outspoken mike hansa seems to have been a long time advocate of regime change in neo con operations. or he was certainly in favor of continuing to escalate the confrontation. here's what he said.

unfortunately, the biden administration slow walked aid to ukraine. every response has been too slow from providing intelligence to ukraine, to hammering russia with sanctions to providing military equipment and fighter jets to ukraine. this is not america's war, but if putin is not stopped, he will continue to move toward our nato allies and america would then be called upon to send our own. the next question tucker carlson, asked was about the issue of regime change in russia. and of course it was donald trump gave the most humorous answer to that question. we don't know, we should support regime change in the united states. that's far more important. the biden administration are the ones who got us into this mess. somewhat humorous . it does point to the reality that most republicans blame the biden administration for the debacle in ukraine. now the next question it was ask was, regarding the sanctions and their impact on the russian economy, your some of the responses?

no, they have not been effective. just the opposite. the biden administration's policies have during russia into a defect alliance with china, russia has increased its foreign revenues, while china benefits from cheaper fuel biden has further empowered russia's energy dominated economy sanctions against china. iran and russia have bolstered the russian rouble and enabled china to establish trade and chinese money rather than in us dollars. among those who did respond, it was only like pants to put forward a there, a solid position in favor of continuing to send weapons to kia and continuing to escalate the conflict with russia. and the majority opinion among american republicans, is that the united states should not continue to escalate the situation should not be sending more aid and weapons to the government in here. so it makes sense that you would see republicans who are also critical of this as they seek the nomination of their party for the president. the u. s. labor department has reported that

inflation in the country rose to 6 percent in february compared to the same period last year. moody's investor services, part of the big 3 rating agencies, has slashed outlook for the entire us banking system to negative. as the country's economy is shaken by financial turmoil, this comes after 2 major american banks collapsed over the weekend. now the federal reserve, which oversees the banking system and the rest of the economy, is faced with a choice either to raise interest rates even further or tackle inflation by reducing prices for consumers. speaking on monday morning, president byte and try to reassure americans that their money is safe. former white house press secretary gen saki chimed in saying that it's difficult for biden to do anything in the morning. but he did so because it was important. now it's important to note, president biden does nothing at 9 am. she has a night owl,

so the fact that he is doing this at 9 am anyway, speaks to how vital to white house recognize it. it is for him to have his voice out there conveying that to the american public across upon european officials claim their economies have not been effected despite stocks falling with the year record low registered after mondays closure can down and just have a look at the reality the reality is that the banks that you just mentioned, and they would say the french banking system is not exposed to the silicon bank. our banks are over all in good shape. we have strengthened them enormously in recent years. the european banking sector and in particular the spanish sector is actually right now with a reinforced regulatory and supervisory framework. they have a will and solid well capitalized than solid balance sheets. lessons learned action

is being taken quickly and swiftly in this respect. there is really no reason for anyone here in germany to be very worried. like to that. earlier we discuss the current us banking system crisis with former us treasury assistant secretary and wall street journal editor, paul craig roberts. he shared his take on the reasons behind it, and the remaining challenges the u. s. financial system faces the banks were casualties of the federal reserves policy, raising interest rates received for many years. the federal reserve care the rates are very low. so the interest on the financial assets that the banks have on their balance sheet is low. so when the rates start rising, the values of their portfolios fall, but the reliability is done. so the feds policy of high interest rates pushes the

banks into insolvency. if the bed continues raising interest rates, there will be more failures. ah, the 5 large banks, the 3 giant new york banks to giant california bikes. these banks have trillions of dollars of derivatives. the value of bridge is twice the size of the g. p of the entire world. yet their capital base is only in billions. so they are holding their, they are exposed to risk in the trillions of dollars, and they do not have the capital base to support that risk. so

if something happens again in these derivatives as it did earlier this century, when we had the big crisis, those banks will be in jeopardy if these big bikes get in jeopardy from their derivatives. it will spread into europe. when a pros that says something like bio, that's his job is to reassure people, so they calm down. they don't rush to the banks and pull out their money. but i doubt if biden, or anyone in his administration or even the federal reserve has any idea of the extent of risk. if one of the very large bikes, the job banks, if they get into serious trouble with their derivatives, it will impact the rest of the world. that's a rock for the our, for all the latest breaking use enough.
