again, reestablished diplomatic relations, this could be a step not only to reorder the middle east, but also usher in an era of stability in the region. today. washington is the odd man out ah, syrian president, but charlotte todd has arrived in moscow for talks with russian counterpart vladimir potent. the leaders will discuss straight that in bilateral cooperation despite western attempts to hurt their economy through a look at this. drill was a multiple pacific strike group that could carry up to 1700 kilograms of explosives . can you imagine that such an aircraft drone suddenly in new york or san francisco, moscow lab, the us crash wrote incident in black, the waters as a probably cation of the thing. russian jets did not cause the downing with the u.

a. b, suffering a slight failure. also ahead with the fact that this is a terrorist attack is no longer receive. moreover, it was a terrorist act committed at a state level because no amateurs committed attack like the nurturing pipeline bombing was a state sponsored terrorist attack. while the western version of events is complete nonsense, according to vladimir food and kenya, struggles with the ecological fall out of massive electronic waste dumping by western countries with the amount of junk rising by more than 17 time with good afternoon for marquee in rockville studios. in moscow, and welcome to the hours most vital stories across the globe. i'm fear ella's about

syrian president charlotte sod arrived in the russian capital on tuesday for talks with white amir potent moscow in damascus, have continued to strengthen their relations just by western attempts to damage both countries. economies with harsh sanctions. let's ref live to our correspondence. steve. so we need to get the details. steve, what's on the agenda for these upcoming talks between the 2 presidents? well, president assad arrived in moscow yesterday for what is his 1st visit outside of the country since the devastating earthquake that struck last month getting 4 and a half 1000 people, leaving more than $4000.00 buildings, destroyed many hundreds of thousands of people are displaced now of course, russia was a crucial to those relief efforts in the immediate aftermath, helping to dig people out of the rub, only a cent, more than $300.00 service personnel and $7070.00 tons of humanitarian aid. and so

this is likely to be very high on the agenda because this is in stark contrast, of course, to the western response with president, accusing the united states of pressuring countries not to help a situation foreign ministry spoke to him or is a, however described as inhumane, and something that would lead to more suffering a more death are the 2 leaders had likely? does it discuss bilateral relations? of course, both companies are heavily sanctioned by the wes interior is facing a surveyor, oil crises. so that will be some discussions around how to alleviate that situation, which has been made worse by at the united states, which is again accused of seeding up to 80 percent of the series all in shipping it out of the country via an illegal crossing in iraq. also on these gender quite crucially is going to be the syria turkey relations. now the 2 countries, of course, have been on opposite sides during the for foreign lead intervention with president

assad, telling ankara to stop supporting what he calls terrorists in the northern italy province. and demanding that they end the occupation. now, of course, relations told, with this surprise, waiting in moscow in december between the syrian and turkish foreign ministers. that's hoping to be sorry, the defense ministers that hoping to pave the way for a meeting between the 2 companies. foreign ministers and eventually at the i presidents whether that will be president or do on of course he faces a tricky election in the next the next few months. but this would be a major breakthrough in lisa, a bit to find a comprehensive agreement to the situation in syria. and it really underlines russia's rollers are both a mediator and a piece make another to lead is that you to meet us sometime in the next 2 hours and i will keep you updated with developments article responded see sweeney with

the latest between talks between charl assad and vladimir putin. thank you, steve. the russian ambassador to the u. s. and a tale. anton, av says tuesday, the incident involving a crashed american drone and waters off the crimean coast is a u. s. provocation. he official added the u. a. these capable of carrying multiple missiles and bombs have no business being that close to russian borders. he explained the drum 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, their craft and ships have nothing to do near the borders of the russian federation . this drone was a multiple pus strike drone that could carry up to 1700 kilograms of explosives. can you imagine it's such an aircraft drone suddenly to 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 of weapons. this drone made a shop you turn and crush the reaper drone with flying over the black sea on tuesday when it came crashing down. its last location was reportedly around 60 kilometer south west of the crimean port of stefan stobel. the reaper drone is considered a highly capable weapon, able to carry multiple missiles and bombs, as well as conduct surveillance. the u. s. defense department was reluctant to clarify when asked whether the drone was armed with any aircraft or when was this aircraft armed? shall not gonna 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. washington accused moscow of intentionally bringing down the military drone and allegation which rushes ministry of defense has denied the u. s. claims russian jets flew in front of the reaper drought and dumb fuel on it, forcing it down on international waters. the u. s. has long flown surveillance plains near russian borders, and washington has admitted to sharing intelligence with ukraine. this isn't the 1st incident involving drones around the black sea region. last october, ukrainian forces carried out a massive drone attack on the russian fleet in the port city of a stobel with moscow accusing the british navy of being involved in the attack, which the u. k. denied 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 rushing 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 kind of happened. 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 in effect, acting assisting as a process in seeing the ukraine as a proxy in this conflict against russia. the terrorist attack,

which crippled the north stream pipelines last september, was committed added 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 committed attack like this. if you could shoot me this, quote, montague go up to the parish investigation. that was a media campaign with o to goes to p. u in several newspapers allegedly staging some ukranian activists had organized the attack and it was especially emphasized using to us had no not included the cranium government. how do you feel about these versions? some of them stood we viewed institute. i'm sure that this is complete nonsense, an explosion of this kind at suddenly deck room, which should only be carried out by especially supported by all the power of the state, which 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 that are 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 meantime, 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 quote, pro ukrainian group with no identity beyond that 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 dudes 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, 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 the 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 from 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 it should have had some information about it or not engaging with russian authorities trying to figure out what happened to me. it

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 receive permission from danish authority. it's not an explosion. the gas problem 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 the explosion site column, the which is a similar spot to where the explosions occur with these are the most vulnerable places. when they gather like light 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, you would like to get permission from danish authority to independently with you to get with them or even better by forming an international group of explosive experts to carry out the necessary research. apparently, several explosive devices were planted, some exploded in some didn't. the reasons are unclear. 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 and 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 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 suites claim to find explosive traces at the floor of the baltic sea near the explosion device book 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, get a metal for that job. expose in american involvement. there's the problem. the switch has to 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, to the back 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 nation struggles with growing pollution. you amount of predominantly western

e waste products has increased by more than 17 times since 2012 with less than 20 per cent of this dangerous junk in taken care of this contributes to severe climate change while drought across these africa, exposing the whole region to the risk of mass starvation, a local journalist centers this report on kenya, struggle to ease its ecological burden. in kenya, the largest source of interest is from discarded electronic equipment. and a plan for these items often imported from developed countries, a 2nd on equipment and end up in the canyons. informal recycling sector, where 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 diluted on your knees exponentially growing with an increase. you said your electronic gadgets,

one huge golf exist in the properties plus all of the ways with only 4 length is recycling companies in a country of nearly $50000000.00 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 do with the swelling tide, looking forward to the pop us, the electronic trash. he was, we should have kenya is an an government organization which was started in the year 2015 and good for you. started in 2016. ah. our core business is electronic waste management, specifically in the form of victor. ah, this is because we realized god, the 0 to he was being mishandled. and infomatica i. so we, we are is that is and is a need to thought an organization about concrete awareness among the informal devious contrasts. electronic waste poses mental health hazard. 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 there will be seats and on working around you find a lot of wits end, the waste in them. you had history find ah, he was in them. so this fish on his wasn't neatness but, and big citizens and the government is not doing enough in handling on these most all of the ways. so i think about that we had but it because you'll find out you'll find day with why don't you let the mountains and know a lot of hump day, but then let them into the humans or more newton or art news, nairobi and i, during economist and lager thinks africa has found itself at the bottom of the food

chain with the west using it as an outsource market for dumping its waste. be enough to task subtle seed as a 2nd secondary tertiary market. we tried to rescue some of the gadgets and we tried to reuse some of the method of the wires and so on. but the foot of the schools are least devastating on the involved and a lot of that and so polluted. i'm also and so for loop in the water table, if not when it, when something to believe us and so on and so forth. so a sort of invoke the 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 gets dumped into africa with the size of 350 cruise ships. ok, it gets dumped into africa in terms of e with every year. that's the 2019 figure. as a huge number, we makes a tie in our laws and begin to, you know, end evades. i think in this regard,

fighting our laws, i mean shot or whatever. it's called me me here. you know, when i switch me down here, i know we need to step up and, and show with push back against this, this semester seat. dumping of toxic waste. ukrainian military fired 3 rockets over the border into the russian city of vel garad 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 napa roger region on tuesday, with one person killed and 3 others injured in a car bombing in the city of maley topple. 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 lies now in the. * dumbass, where russia's wagner route has reportedly taken over part of the industrial zone of zone in the city of art. the almost also known as bath, moot, and verified online footage apparently confirms russian control over the vast stock mash plants were president lensky commended ukrainian soldiers defending the city last year. the as on plant is one of the city's major 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 overnights. that's after president the landscape office announced it will keep the funding, the city, a major logistics for the ukranian army. meanwhile,

and the could be ask region. russian forces have partially taken control of an industrialized zone with multiple assault groups. capturing 3 hangers that says the russian army continues it's offensive, and other areas were tank battles rage on the ground as drove clash overhead, or cheesy, or sort of brings us more from the guns republic. the soil here in the spring time dorm bass is very close to quicksand. parts of this forest visit a 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 separated, sold battalion to say they know their enemy in the face is hardly an exaggeration. a 100 meters is sometimes all that separates the sides. caves all seeing eyes focused on the battle for both 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 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 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 arms to ukraine. most republican presidential hopefuls they, they oppose the continuing policy reflecting the sentiment of many americans are seized. caleb mop and has more popular tv host, tucker carlson, decided 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 and further 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 failing. 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, rolla 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 undermined 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. ready 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 defacto alliance with china, russia has increased its foreign revenues while china benefits from cheaper fuel biden as further and power rushes energy dominated economy sanctions against china

. iran in russia have bolstered the russian group will. i'm enabled china to establish trade and chinese money rather than in us dollars. among those who did respond, it was only mike pants, who put forward a, there is solid position in favor of continuing to send weapons to pia 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 road 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 slash 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 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. he 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 is for him to have his voice out there. conveying that to the american public. earlier,

we discussed the current usa 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 of turbulence may have for the whole world. the 5 large by 3 giant new york banks to giant california by 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 by and that's his job is to reassure people, so they come 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.
