ah, with this drill was a multiple bush strike drone that could carry up to 1700 kilograms of explosives. can you imagine did such, you know, graph a drone suddenly been in new york or san francisco? moscow slammed the u. s. crash drone incident in black, the waters as a provocation. also saying russian jets did not cause the down in the u. a. b. suffering, a flight failure. also ahead. a terrorist attack is no longer a secret. moreover, it was a terrorist act committed at a state level because no amateurs could commit an attack like this. the north stream pipeline bombing was

a state sponsor terrorist attack. while the western version of events is complete nonsense, that's according to vladimir putin. syrian president bashar al assad has arrived in moscow for talks with his russian counterpart vladimir pollutant. the leaders will discuss strengthening bilateral cooperation despite western attempts to hurt their economies through. thank jim and kenya struggled with the ecological fall out of massive electronic waste. dumping by western countries with the amount of junk rising by more than 17 times, plenty of love. a good morning for martine or national tutors in moscow, and welcome to the hours most vital stories worldwide. i'm corolla, isabel, the russian ambassador, us anatoly, i'm on of says tuesdays incident involving

a crushed american drone in waters off the crimean coast is a u. s. provocation. official added the you avi's capable of carrying multiple missiles and bombs. have no business being that close to russian borders. he explained the drone stalled, after executing sharp maneuvers and that russian jets did not come into contact with it. i think this is surreal provocation. most importantly, i believe that american, their craft and ships have nothing to do near the borders of the russian federation . this dro, when was a multiple pus strike drone that could carry up to 1700 kilograms of explosives. can you imagine that such an aircraft, a drone suddenly be new new york or san francisco? however, i want to emphasize that the russian pilots acted very professionally. there was no contract. there was no use a weapons. this drone met a shop,

you turn and crushed. the reaper drone was flying over the black sea on tuesday when it came crashing down. it's last location was reportedly around 60 kilometers southwest of the crimean or of stuff estoppel. 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 going forward, or company aircraft, or whizzes 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 pentagon has said that the drone, it will, it claims that roy 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 aircraft of acting. what it said was a record environment, the unsound, an unprofessional man accusing the russian aircraft of incompetence. one of the jet struck the propeller of the dreams of the operator's ditch the into the sea. that's according to the us european command. now the russian is believed to be heading toward crimea when the incident occurred. us officials have said this, and president joe biden was informed of the incident on tuesday morning. 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 out a massive drone attack. i think it was 9 drones that were launched on the russian black, safely to chrome william port city of sylvester, poland,

and moscow keys british troops being involved in that incident. and of course, that led to russia in spending its involvement in the international broken 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 confirmed by the united states on its own eyes for the vast majority of it strikes. using these advanced years provided rocket systems. and of course, this cost made it out. and washington's claims of non belligerent reaper drones a sometimes known as a predator b, and they are hunting unmanned aerial vehicles that dying for long endurance and high altitude surveillance. but they've also been described as the most dangerous military drone on earth. and they controlled remotely. the able to carry heavier payloads and, you know, what we do know is that cause again, donald,

over the nature of this particular operation, we still don't know what the drug was doing. and in the area the, the us, of course, claims that it was carrying out surveillance, but russia has, as we heard area broken down and dismissed those claims. former pentagon security policy analysts, michael maloof, says the american drone was likely being used to call the 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 it's that 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, acting assisting as a proxy, seeing the ukraine as a proxy in this conflict against russia. the terrorist attack, which crippled the north stream pipelines last september, was committed out of state level. that's the message from russian president vladimir putin. number 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 a shoot is mrs. about month ago, after the hersch investigation, there was a media campaign with oh, to go superior. in several newspapers allegedly staging some ukrainian activists had organized the attack. and it was especially emphasized that these activists had

nothing to do with the ukrainian government. how do you feel about these versions of your limited reviewed institute? i'm sure that this is complete nonsense. an explosion of this kind at such a depth could only be carried out by a specialist supported by all the power of the state, which has the required technology. but 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 is 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 on her 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're trying to divert attention from story that i wrote, which included enormous specifics. i was describing a process that began before christmas of 2021 involve the, the national security advisor, jim 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 stream network is a joint project with major european energy companies and russia gas problem 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 or not engaging with russian authorities trying to figure out what happened. that was very difficult for us to conduct our own investigation if we're not even allowed to access the side of this terrorist attack. only gas from received permission from danish authorities to investigate the side of the explosion. but gas from did not limit itself to the study of the very place of explosion along the gas pipeline itself. the ship rented by gas pro moved on, and at a distance of about 30 kilometers from the explosion site. a column was found which stood at a similar spot to where the explosions occurred. these are the most vulnerable places in the gas pipeline. the junction of pipes, experts believe that this may be an antenna for receiving

a signal to activate an explosive device that can be placed beneath the pipeline. and now of course, we would like to get permission from danish authorities to independently together with them, or even better by forming an international group of explosive experts to carry out the necessary research. and apparently, several explosive devices were planted. some exploded in some didn't the reasons are unclear. and so obviously some neutral authority really does need to intervene here like the un and a letter has been sent from the russian and bachelor to the nations to the security council to that effect. but the west certainly doesn't seem interested in demanding its own answers. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says washington committed an economic pearl harbor style attack on europe. jeremy's economy has taken a big hit right now in a large part of that is because of high energy cost. united states has not been able to pub, supplant,

russian gas. so it would go into quantities and other pricing that makes it viable for germany. and germany was stabbed 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. could compare and contrast are these the same, they come from the same source but, but they're not talking. what is a sweet say? they can't talk about it because we'll harm their national security. what threat could possibly exist? the sweden's national security, exposing russian malfeasance? no sweden will get a good a metal for that job. expose in american involvement. there's the problem. the sweets have to be quiet 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 carried it out. we have a confession from the american president joe biden to the back february 7th of of last year, where he promised that if russian tanks, inter, does ukraine nord string to be taken out, he guaranteed it. meanwhile, syrian president bashar al assad, arrived in the russian capital on tuesday for talks with vladimir putin, moscow in damascus, continued to steadily enhancer cooperation. as the was tries to damage their economies with harsh sanctions. i'll let it go and economic ties between russia and syria will be on the agenda with the annual volume of trade between the states standing at over $600000000.00 and growing. one of the key issues to discuss will be the resolution few, the humanitarian crisis in syria. last month the country experienced the most devastating earthquake in over 200 years. with over 4000 people dead and 4000 buildings damaged or destroyed syria already suffering greatly from western

sanctions was. * blocked from receiving support from western countries due to the restrictions while russia dispatch over 300 service men and delivered 70 tons of humanitarian aid to help relieve the crisis, will keep you updated on all the latest from the talks throughout the day. 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 a waste products has increased by more than 17 times since 2012 with less than 20 percent of his dangerous junk being taken care of. this contributes to severe climate change lead routes across east africa, exposing the whole region to risk of mass starvation, a local journalist sense as this report on kenya's struggle to ease its ecological

burden. in kenya, the largest source of us is from discarded electronic equipment and appliances. these items often imported from developed countries a 2nd and implement an end up in the canyon informal recycling sector. when some of the e with is converted 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, while huge golf exist in the properties parcel 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 or 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. he was, we should have tenure, is an government or an official which was started in the year 2015 and go to

registered in 2016. ah. our core business is electronic waste management, specifically in the form of victor. ah, this is because we realized that a visit or to be with being mishandled in their infomatica. i. so we, we are is that is a, is a need to thought an organization that can create or we enlist among ladies for more devious contrasts. electronic waste was his detrimental had hovered to the canyon's on the environment, if not properly addressed these calls for action by the government on this. they called us to find proper ways of dealing with the problem. i think decisions, but yet there will be seats and on working around you find a lot of weights and the waste in them. you get his did fine. ah, he was in them. so. yeah, the specialness was neatness, bad, and big. it is innocent,

the government is not doing enough in he's lost one of them. so i think about that we had, but think now, 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 you to know our, to news night over a nigerian 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 task sort of seed as a 2nd, a secondary such as the market. we tried to rescue some of the gadgets. we tried to reuse some of the metal, some of the wires and so on. but the forces of the schools are least devastating on the environment. and a lot of that ends up valentina and also,

and supplementing the worth of table, if not when that even something to the reverse and so on and so forth. so a, it's sort of invoke the picture of 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. e ways these the size of 3 other than 50 cruise sheeps. ok, it gets dumped into africa in terms of e with every year. that's the 2019 figure. as a huge number, we made a tie in our laws and begin to, you know, and evades. i think in, in this regard, fighting our laws and ensure that 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 with push back against this this semester seat, dumping of toxic with the ukranian military fired 3 rockets over the

border into the russian city of belgrade. overnights authority say all the projectiles were intercepted by russian defences, but fragments damage residential buildings. this isn't the 1st attack on the city with russian air defenses regularly shooting down rockets. another attack also hit russia's approach, a region on tuesday with one person killed and 3 others. injured in a car bombing in this city of malley, topo victims of the blast were rushed to the hospital where one, a prominent local business man was pronounced dead. other casualties including a child are still receiving treatment. local authorities are investigating the task which was reportedly carried out with an improvised explosive device to the front lines. now, in the dawn bass, where russia's wagner group has reportedly taken over part of the industrial zone of as in this city of our fuel, most also known as by the moot,

unverified online footage apparently confirms russian control over the boston mass plants were president lensky commended ukrainian soldiers defending this city last year. the as on plant is one of the city's main strongholds with its underground tunnels used for defense. the area has seen intense fighting for months with entrench. ukrainian troops almost fully surrounded. the russian army reportedly attack the rear of ukrainian reinforcements in the area overnight. that's after president lensky office, announced it will keep defending the city, a major logistics hub for the ukranian army. meanwhile, the russian army continues. it's offensive in other regions where tank battles rage on the ground as drones clash overhead, or cheesy or start off brings us more from the guns republic. the soil here in the spring time dawn bass is very close to quicksand. parts of this forest visit

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 separated, sold battalion, to say they know their enemy in the face is hardly an exaggeration. a 100 meters is sometimes will that separate the site keeps all seeing eyes focused on the battle for both moat and russian troops here in the loop,

ganske republic have been trying to capitalize on the distraction. ukrainian command has drawn reinforcements, but they are often gathered out of yesterday's trainees 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. an intention, the entirety of the russian fools shares with every heart in their ranks. i'm just done of reporting from the dumbass. r t. japan's fighter jet project develop jointly with the u. k and italy will be at the center of a defense show near tokyo. this week, that's as the asian country boost defense ties with nato members and considers

loosening controls on defense exports. meanwhile, the country is currently facing its biggest ever account deficit for a single month caused by surging energy costs. according to its finance ministry, the country was almost 2 trillion yen or about $14000000000.00 in the red in january, which is 3 times more than the same period last year. that's as japan's parliament approved nearly 50000000000 on military spending. and the country's military imports from the united states continue to increase. to discuss the issue further, we are joined, live by toe kick gucci, associate professor at the graduate school of asia. pacific studies was say to university in tokyo, welcome, nearly 50000000000 has been approved for military spending, despite the countries worrying fiscal health. why is the country still seeking to

increase its military spending? i think the main reason is that increasing uncertainty of the security situation in the region. so there has been committed a bit of china that now surpasses a combined capacity of the u. s. on japan in the region. and we have seen a more assertive behavior of china regarding the east tennessee south sanity. and the taiwan issues in the past. he is as i mentioned earlier, is your hand is now running a record current account deficit with the weakening. how do you think this will reflect on the countries image as an export powerhouse? i think 1st, let me clarify that japan has never come to visit on annual basis in the past 40 years. so what we have now is a record deficit for

a single months. and this is a trade div is due to the import prices of energy. and as you said, the weak japanese, again, if you look at the export, has been a significant decline in export already after the global financial crisis in 2008 as the production has shifted offshore. so i think this is a long term trend and not really a reaction to w finch ox. well, japan also has a constitutional ban on export arms that think he is beginning to change as the government is considering modifying the law. what is the emphasis for these changes? is this about security profits or political pop points? i think that certainly leads to the point that i made earlier the, the increasing uncertainty regarding the thick unity environment in the region. and i think naturally that i mean strengthening that take you to the cooperation

between japan and the us including important equipment and technology from the us. so i think that's what is happening right now. you talk about technology and we talked about the economic sector, but what could a possible revision of japanese law mean for the countries military industrial sector? i think john and still also explored more equipment on technology to other countries. and therefore, again, i think technology got advantage in some of the key areas tamaqua gucci, associate professor at the graduate school of asia pacific studies was say to university in tokyo, thank you. thank you for having ah, 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 slash outlook for the entire u. s. 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 overseas the banking system and the rest of the economy is faced with the choice either to raise interest rates even further or tackle inflation by reducing prices for consumers. speaking on monday morning, president bite and tried to reassure americans that their money is safe. former white house press secretary gen saki chimed in, saying that it's difficult for bite and 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. he is a night owl. so the fact that he is doing this at 9 am anyway, speaks to how vital the white house recognize that it is for him to have his voice

out there. conveying that to the american public. earlier, we discussed their 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 remaining challenges the u. s. financial system faces, and the consequences. the turbulence may have for the whole world. the 5 large banks, the 3 giant new york banks, the 2 giant california banks. 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 the president 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 the route for the hour and for all the
