and saudi arabia, again re established diplomatic relations. this could be a step not only to reorder the middle east, but also usher in an area of stability in the region. today. washington is the odd man out. ah, anyway, this room was a multiple bush strike drove that could carry up to 1700 kilograms of explosives. can you imagine that such an aircraft? a drone suddenly appear in new york or san francisco? moscow slammed the u. s. crash grown, inserted in black sea waters as a provocation. also saying russian jets that not caused the downing with the u. a. b, suffering, a flight failure. also ahead. which excuse me, the fact that this is 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 put syrian president bus charla sought has arrived in moscow for talks with his russian counterpart platter mere potent leaders will discuss strengthening bilateral cooperation despite western attempts to hurt their economies through sanctions. and kenya, struggles with the ecological fall out of massive electronic waste dumping by western countries with the amount of jo rising by more than 17 times since 2012. with good morning for martine or national studios in moscow. and welcome to the hours most vital stories across the globe. i'm pure allies about the russian ambassador

to the u. s. anatoly until now says tuesdays incident involving may crash american drone in waters off the crimean coast is a u. s. provocation. the official added, the you a these 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 in that russian jets did not come into contact with it. hi, cindy, this is surreal. provocation, most importantly, i believe that american air craft and ships have nothing to do near the borders of the russian federation. this drone was a multiple bas strike drone that could carry up to 1700 kilograms of explosives. can you imagine that such an aircraft, a drone, suddenly boon, 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 turned 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 south west of the crimea 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 defense ministry has denied. the u. s. defense department was reluctant to clarify when asked whether the drone was armed. we're going to have our company aircraft, or was this aircraft armed? so i'm not going to get into the specific profile of this particular aircraft. as you know, the 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 kind of drone with 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 young sound, an unprofessional man, accusing the russian aircraft of incompetence. one of the jet struck the propeller of the drug, and so the operators ditch the, into the sea that's according to the us european command. now the russian is believed 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. well, this isn't the 1st incident of its kind in the area involving the western military involvement. right? no, 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 see fleeting, crumley import city of sylvester, poland,

and moscow keys british troops being involved in that incident. and of course, that led to russia since spending its involvement in the internationally 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. and it's on 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 hunter kit unmanned aerial vehicles. designed 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 heavy 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 dr. drone was doing. and in the area the, the us, of course, claims that it was carrying out surveillance. but russia has, as we heard earlier, 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 ukranian army. 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 jet 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 happen. so there's still more to the story of

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 an effect acting assisting as a proxy scene. 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. numbers to susan, 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 ellipticals appearing 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. look, how do you feel about these versions? luckily, you're the most 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 cry and 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 in 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. sale out into nato waters and blow the steel pipes and their concrete encasement. 20 days after their excursion, remotely investigative journalist seymour hersh. you attributed the attack to a u. s. lead 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's 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 to me. 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 an 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 ambassador to the united 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. germany's economy is taking a big hit right now in a large part of it is because of high energy cost. united states has not been able to pub supplant, rush and gas. so it, you know,

and the quantities and the 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 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 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 who 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 entered the ukraine north street to be taken out, he guaranteed it. meanwhile, syrian president bashar al assad arrived in the russian capital on tuesday for talks with water mere putin, moscow, and damascus continue steadily enhancing their cooperation as the west tries to damage their economies with our sanctions. political 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 resolutions to 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. 1 was blocked from receiving support from western countries due to the restrictions while russia dispatched 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. meanwhile, determined to resist a western campaign of anti russian rhetoric, participants of the international movement of russo files met in moscow on tuesday . supporters from 40 different countries gathered in a bid to encourage more positive ties. with russia. one attendee, a former minister all adviser in this angle, lease embassy, and russia, told us the movement needs to bring together. as many, russo falls around the world as possible. we negotiate too much. you shouldn't think that brushing has been rejected everywhere in the world. such sentiments is maintained at an official level in the west, but not in africa,

where most people love russia are mentality and mood or no progression because every one knows that moscow is right in this situation. i am on the many people who do not hide that. we're on russia side. we need to gather as many, russo feels around the world as possible. a lot of people studied in the u. s. a saw in both soviet russia. i am who i am know partly thanks to russia for people like me. the russian language is a bridge. i'm a francophone but at the same time a rooster feel. and that's the reason i'm here. yes, yes. electronic waste from developed western nations has become a growing threat to kenny as ecology, as the east african nation struggle is with growing pollution. the amount of predominantly western aways products has increased by more than 17 times since 2012, with less than 20 percent of this dangerous chunk being taken care of. this

contributes to severe climate change lead routes across east africa, exposing the whole region to the risks of mass starvation. a local journalist centers this report uncanny, struggle to ease its ecological burden. in kenya, the largest source of you is, is from discarded electronic equipment and appliances. these items often imported from developed countries, a 2nd on equipment and end up in the canyon informal recycling sector. when some of the e with 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 generated on your knees exponentially growing with an increase you said of electronic gadgets, while huge gulf exists in the properties, plus all 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. our italy says mercury lead and other toxic substances. one of the kenya's

u. s. companies elite is trying hard to do with the swelling tide, looking forward to the pop up the electronic trash use and we should have tenure is an government or a new fisher which was started in the year 2015 and got registered 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 these are out of the with being mishandled in informal circuit. i. so we, we are, is that is and is a need to thought and organization that can create are we unless among lead for more devious hundreds electronic waste poses detrimental, had hovered through the canyons and the environment, if not properly addressed these calls for action by the government on this day corners to find proper ways of dealing with the problem. i think decisions,

but yet there will be city alone working around you find a lot of weights and the waste in them. you get his did find out. he was in them. so this fish on his was an eaten is bad and the citizens and the government is not doing enough in he's supposed to do it. so i think about that we had, but i think now because you'll find out you'll find, be with ledger moans, we close to lot of day, but then vitamin under the humors, or want you to know our, to new night over in i, urine, economist them 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, betia and oftentimes subtle, seen as a 2nd secondary,

tertiary market. we tried to rescue some of the gotcha. so we tried to reuse some of the metal phone with the wires and so on. well, the 1st of the schools are least devastating on the environment and a lot of that and so polluted. i'm also and so for me, in the water table, if not window, even something to the reverse and so on and so forth. so it is sort of evoked 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 site, the guest lumped into africa. e with ease the size of 3 other than 50 cruise sheet . okay. it gets dumped into africa in terms of e with every year. 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, in this regard, right in our laws, uninsured or whatever. it's called me me here. um, you know, when i switch him down here, i know we need to step up and,

and show what pushback you know, again this, this semester, dumping toxic waste, the ukrainian 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 damaged 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 operative region on tuesday, with one person killed and 3 others injured in a car bombing in the city of melody. opal. victims of the blasts 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 attack, which was reportedly carried out with an improvised explosive device to the front

lines. now in the dawn bus were rushes, wagner group has reportedly taken part of the industrial zone of as in the city of our field, most also known as back. moot and verified online footage apparently confirms russian control over the last mash plans were present. lensky commended ukrainian soldiers defending the 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 attacked the rear of ukrainian reinforcements in the area overnight. that's after president lensky office, announced that we'll keep defending the city a major logistics hub for the ukranian army. meanwhile, and the region, russian forces of partly taking control of the industrial zone with multiple star

assault groups capture in 3 hangers that says the russian army continues. it's all sensitive in other areas where take battles, rage on the ground as drones clash overhead, or cheesy or shot off brings us more from the bumps republic. the soil here in the spring time dawn bass is very close to quicksand parts of this forest. they say complete not many vehicles can cross this terrain freely and safely. thank i, sadly among those that can ah,

these tanks belong to the euro separatist sold battalion to say they know their enemy in the face is hardly an exaggeration. a 100 meters is sometimes rule that separates the sight. caves all seeing eyes focused on the battle for book 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 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. i'm again

done of reporting from the dumbass r t. and while the u. s continues to funnel, i'm see ukraine, most republican presidential hopefuls say they oppose the continuing policy reflecting the sentiment of many americans. archie's caleb martin has more popular tv house, tucker carlson, decide to reach out to potential republican candidates for president. those who announced in those who may announce that 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 entangles 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 adversaries, 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, 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 and 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 prudent 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 that was asked was, regarding the sanctions and their impact on the russian economy, here's 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, which china, russia has increased its foreign revenues. well, china benefits from cheaper fuel biden. there's further empowered rushes, energy dominated economy sanctions against china. iran in russia have bolstered the russian rubel 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 kiya 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 presidency. the u. s. labor department has reported that inflation in the country rose to 6 per cent in february compared to the same period last year. moody's investor services, part of the big 3 rating agencies, has washed 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 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, buy it and try to reassure americans that their money is safe for our white house press secretary, john 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. 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 it is for him to have his voice out there. conveying that to the american public. earlier, we discussed 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 remaining challenges the u. s.

financial system faces and the consequences. the turbulence may have for the whole world, the 5 large by 3 giant new york by 2 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, they are, 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.
