weapons supplied by washington for the ukrainian military. there are the open admissions that the u. s. helped coordinate last year's counter offensive in the heart of region, and is planning to do the same in the spring of this year. this current group has made it clear that we will support ukraine's fight for freedom or the long haul and help ukraine hold in advance during the spring counter offensive. it's no wonder wife latimer prudent, although he has repeatedly called for negotiations in the ukraine. conflict doesn't see much sense and speaking with zelinski himself was close to church, sir? no, sir, yes. can. was the point of meeting with zelinski? she give away his country to complete foreign control when you she, she is alive and ukraine of the site is not in cute. you can watch the shows and won't blame for linda's harris notions or does the to talk about and you with all that military assistance, training and coordination. though the u. s. government could potentially be

complicit in a legit ukrainian war crimes. after all, russia has documented over 2600 such cases since 2014, many of the perpetrators being current members of key ebs political and military leadership. meanwhile, ukraine continues to target civilian areas and don boss with a number of documented attacks rising by the day. according to the office of the ombudsman of the dawn at people's republic between january 1st and december, 28th, 202-1091 civilians were killed in the region and another 3500. 33 people were wounded. human rights abuses, mounting civilian casualties, and a blank check for military assistance, all in the name of having ukrainian proxies die for nato's war with the us taxpayer footing the bill. re add says it's ready to invest in the iranian economy. falling the chinese brokered agreement to restore diplomatic relations between

saudi arabia and turan. how quickly in your mind, do you think we're going to see sadie ravia making significant investments and vice versa? i would say very quickly, it honest. i've never and have been and would continue to be for hundreds of years, so i don't see any sh oh, that would prevent normalization of the original sure. across investment, successful new turning point in the region, state of affairs was followed by saudi statement on the oil market, stating the country won't trade with those who impose any sort of price caps or restrictions on commodities. the statement came as us legislators introduced a bill that would allow suing oil companies from opec plus countries, according to the saudi kingdoms, energy minister, the practice, would damage the market, creating and tolerable consequence with opec plus,

looking to counter the bill earlier, we discussed the perspectives of further cooperation between or rod and saudi arabia, with journalists, an editor, martin, j. iranian political analyst and academic professor said mohammed randi and geopolitical analysts, i met ali brain. the world is changing very fast, and the united states and the europeans do not have the cloud that they have before . and they've also shown that they're not reliable allies are reliable partners. they've shown that an honest on new administration and iran, it's policy is to strengthen ties with neighbors and also pursue asian and your asian integration. those who do not want this to happen in the coming days and weeks will constantly try to use the western media to create

engines to create divisions. definitely time has changed. the iran is different around today, maybe and target are more willing to understand the dynamics feel free on or what's happened in the past decade of negotiation. now remember, there is one of the agreement that we're going to have 2 months period or basically seeing how serious is iran coming to the deal. so it's going to, it's going to have too much of observation or what that right, it's going to come and what they are going to do. there's a couple of months ahead of us where we will watch what size very carefully they have in historically, these are, these are these periods of cooling off and then things worse and again, but i think now the signal that the signal is that the both sides really want to work for peace because peace actually pays awful lot more than what i mean the was that saudi i got involved in which i've been stoved by the americans. we must say of custom, an absolute fortune, a certain point. the human will was costing

a $1000000000.00 a week. the diplomatic deal is when i was mediated by beijing completely by passing the us, which is always like to see them at least as its own kind of spirit when it comes fit. when it comes to influence, so let's take a listen to what the chinese foreign minister ministry had to say about this. some in the us style, their country is the beacon of democracy. see, but how surely democratic is the us. it is redoubled its efforts to tout its democracy and interfered in other countries in internal affairs and even instigated awards in the name of promoting democracy. facts have repeatedly proven that the drama for democracy orchestrated by the u. s. is never a boon, but a bane for the world. so my question to you is just how worried do you think washington should be about such developments and rhetoric? what would the worry now really is the role that america plays? i completely agree with professor maroney, when you said the world has changed, she's too polite to spell it out in, in crude terms. but basically, america's normal calling the shots, you know,

we commentators sort of wondering how much longer we use the term usaa gemini, when we, when we come on talk, shows like, like yours. i'm, you know, really, this is the last nail in the coffin. now, of us leadership around the world, the fact that the chinese stepped up to the mark and broke this deal was pretty amazing. so i think lots of playful, very exciting can complete the, unprecedented, i didn't ever think i'd be on a talk show, talking about some g ring in piece after a rod and saudi arabia agreed to restore diplomatic ties last week efforts, the mediated p, still in the game paid, according to the wall street journal, toronto agreed to stop supply weapons to the who was the movement in the war torn country. however, iran has denied all allegations it has that weapons there. to get more details on the story and the latest updates on other headline to visit our website at r t dot com. the washington has announced

$150000000.00 in aid to africa, the whole region to fight local militants as the us secretary of state ends is 4 day trip to ethiopia. niger are cheese africa. corresponding corolla taught. le, examine whether the u. s. fear of losing influence in africa may actually be fueling its reserves in u. s. secretary of state anthony blinkin is back again on the african continent, taking off his visit in africa's 2nd most populous nation. if you appear wasting little time blinking hell talks with senior officials of the ethiopian federal government and the te, gray regions lead us, but blinking his next stop proved a bit peculiar. he became the 1st u. s. secretary of state to visit j. a country in the for hell region, which has been played by muslim extremists and other tara groups, despite their best efforts, various western lead missions in the hell have failed dismally to quell the

sensations. i'm here any yoga and then on to year to reaffirm a pledge to present vibe made with u. s. africa leader summit late last year. that miss united states is committed to deep responses and genuine partnerships on the continent. because we believe we can help you solve, share challenges and deliver on the fundamental aspirations of our people if we work together. but the us may be making its african return already on the back foot of his zeal, political adversaries, china and russia. the yanks were militarily present in the for hell while the extremist and terror groups grew in confidence and even successes leading niche is name us molly, end with gina fossil to cancel all military cooperation with western countries in favor of co operation with russia. and while the united states was losing the battle against tara elsewhere in the world,

it was china that led investments to new j as part of its belt and roads in africa initiative. china has made significant investments in the day. so does the american government one to be in the j already having failed the sa hell region and security or investments? the mission is clear as mud. it even confuses senior american politicians in the senate. i didn't know there was a 1000 troops in the year. this is an endless war without boundaries and no limitation on time and geography. we don't know exactly where we are route in the world militarily and what we're doing. but that if the american resurgence is not led by what's in the year, but rather what's under it like its neighbors, the hell country is blessed with mineral resources and is too significant. uranium mines providing nearly 5 percent of the world's output from africa's highest.

busy all of uranium, what we know for certain is that americans lead by fear of losing grounds to the adversaries. and that is fueling the resurgence end is rebranding on the continent . before the month of march ends, the buy in administration is stepping up the african agenda and integrity. there are more important tools in the month and another military exercise vice president common harris will touch down on the continent before the month and as well. and the big crescendo will be president joe biden, his visit to the continent later on this year. the question is, will it be before or after august when south africa host the brick summit in the port city of derby way, china and russia, presidents seizing thing and letting me put it will also be on african ground.

got a lot of he chinese we spoke with a journalist and like chat and the whole region. analysts who said the visit is an example of western official seeking to dictate policy to african leaders, while caring resources believed in africa in the area that the time that we have now is another form of what fell into the africans out to do and what to do they don't care about the climate change and any other things for them? uranium is one of the important and wanted to get it by 1st because i will accept or not when they looked at it. and if i read them today, it's become more we kind of look at because of the position of the building to the leaders of the region on how to behave. so that is what is not pushing africa young

. the perspective of the population in africa, the west, if you must, well, and then we'll have africa, but not everyone. but in addition, it african countries there's outrage in the streets of france once again as protesters clash with police following the introduction of a widely popular pension reform. o police use tear gas, water, cannons, and baton to push back protesters as furious crowds vented their anger at president mc crohn's government. media reported that almost 500000 people, went on strike against pension reform. on thursday alone, explosions and fireworks were heard throughout the country. with fires also visible to fresh clashes, follow the french prime minister's decision to raise the retirement age from $62.00

to $64.00 without parliamentary approval and israeli prime minister has rejected an offer of compromise from the countries president who warned of the dangers israel faces and offered his plan for an agreement between the conflicting sides on judicial reform. following the refusal of compromise from the prime minister, crowds once again took to the streets to protest against the judicial reforms limiting the power of the supreme court. demonstrators warned the countries democracy is under threat. a group of renowned writers and nobel prize winner signed a petition sent to the german and british ambassadors to cancel netanyahu's visit to berlin in london. we spoke with oscar nominated, director uri barbecue also signed the petition, and ward, israel will become a dark state if the prime ministers reformed. go ahead with the motion. these

demonstrations are motivated by the fatal feeling that we're facing and crush this in a fall into the abyss. in other words, at the end of this month and the 2nd and 3rd readings of laws or some of the laws would be benito neo, his regime pass. israel will become in dark state, become a racist miss. he antics state govern in a certain sense. burly just laws controlled in a certain way by a group of people whose love of power and greed runs their lives. there are 2 parties in the current coalition that my opinion of the most dangerous of fall. these are alicia zionism, led by small traits and outs. my who did lead by a tomorrow been aguirre. the world view of these 2 parties is anti democratic, extremely nationalist. in other words, they are going to change the existential situation of israel and turned it from a jewish and democratic state. interested as neither jewish nor a democratic, and the fault is entirely beaver's. he cannot leave with the legal system that bows him on trial. and maybe it will judge against him,

and in the sense their power to days far beyond their electoral power. and this is our great danger and this dread distress. this anxiety takes us out into the stress . we have no other choice who must fight with this place must fight for the society we want to beat. were never perfect. i have no illusions about that. the situation in the territories is getting worse. restock of her 3rd into father. i don't know if it is about to break count or not. there is no doubt that philistine in society is facing the defining moment of the history. because with this government, i don't know what they have left to do the disastrous war in iraq, which left a trail of destruction and a 1000000 people dead passes its 20th anniversary r t continues special coverage of the conflict that through the oil rich country into chaos and destabilize the region for years to come. ah,

20 years ago to the day george w bush made the decision to al center rocky leader saddam hussein by force. so he had to give up power and leave the country or face attack by thousands of us and allied troops. saddam hussein and his sons must leave a rack within 48 hours. their refusal to do so will result in military conflict commenced at a time of our choosing. should saddam hussein choose confrontation? the american people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war. and every measure will be taken to when in the us, invaded iraq under the pretext of stopping the danger from it's a legit weapons of mass destruction. st. peaceful attempts to disarm baghdad. had failed that despite un inspectors reporting no evidence of weapons in iraq,

george bush's ultimatum came hours after the u. s. u. k, and spain signed a joint draft resolution seeking military action. but 2 days later, the u. s. on its allies attacked iraq without un approval. i will be with you whatever. that's what the former british prime minister wrote in a letter to america's president months before un weapons inspectors completed their work. deciding to join us forces and toppling the rocky government and unleashing chaos in the country are to marina close. that river picks up the story. 20 years after the us led invasion of iraq and one question remains could have been prevented. while the answer seems to be no, because it was the plan all along after $911.00, it was payback time for america. and the hunt for state sponsors of terrorism was

on. after i've gone the stone, iraq became the next target. and the british prime minister, tony blair became george bushes accomplice. all that was missing was an excuse to invade. well here in the declassified letter, we can see how blair tells bush that he's with him. no matter what. as in, he'll support him in removing saddam hussein from power. i will be with you will it's heather, getting rid of saddam is the right thing to do. he's a potential threat he could be contained in another secret memo were told that the pair were concocting a p r campaign on how to sell the iraq war. an entire year before the us invaded to pay him said we needed an accompanying payoff strategy that highlighted the risks of saddam's w m. d program. and his appalling human rights record, bush strongly agreed to pay him said this approach would be important in managing european public opinion. and in helping the president constructs an international

coalition, the p. m said no one could doubt the world would be a better place if there were a regime change in iraq. what's war? they had a strategy in case that saddam hussein actually gave you an weapons inspectors free reign to check on everything. the piano lay to come and say to me privately that had spoken again to bush about the issue of un inspectors. bush and acknowledged that there was just the possibility that saddam would allow them in and go about their own business. if that happened, we would have to adjust our approach accordingly. so they didn't even want full transparency. that is pretended to wanted, hoping iraq's leader would say no. and that would be enough to topple him. well, september 2002, tony blair's infamous claim. the intelligence picture they paint is one accumulated over the last 4 years. it is extensive detail and authority.

it concludes that iraq has chemical and biological weapons that saddam has continued to produce them. that he has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes. 45 minutes really sounds fake. well, it turned out to be, which was confirmed by british weapons expert dr. kelly to a b. b, c, journalist, it was transformed in the week before it was published to make it 6 here. the classic example was the claim that weapons of mass destruction were ready for use within 45 minutes. that information was not in the original draft. it was included in the dossier against our wishes because it wasn't reliable. most of the things in the dossier were double sauced, but that was single sauced and we believe that the source was wrong. this fiasco

even made it to the parliamentary hearings, which is where doctor kelly's name was revealed as he was asked to give evidence on what he knew. 2 days later, the man who set the british government sec, stop iraq's w m d. dosier was found dead and 10 years after saddam hussein was hang, they rock inquiry known as a chill cut report revealed that the so called the rocky dictator, posed no eminent threats at the time of the invasion. and that the war was fought on the basis of fraud intelligence. the spotlight was now put on george bush and tony blair, with some calling for the pair to be prosecuted and even take in their case, took courts. saddam hussein had known posed an immediate threat to the interest of the k. the intelligence regarding the weapons of mass destructions was presented with an warrenton 70. the invasion was not necessary and the invasion had been undertaken without the authority of the one security council wants the attempts

made to prosecute. mister blair failed as the u. k. court ruled that there exist no crime under english law, which the former prime minister could be charged with. and the international criminal court said that the decision he made to go to war in 2003 is beyond their emits of investigations. and that's it. i apologize for the fact that the intelligence we received was, was wrong. the program in the form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that we thought over a 100000 civilian iraqis, killed many more displaced, british and american soldiers dead for no apparent reason. and this is what they get. oops, sorry about that. and what was the plan for the country after saddam hussein? well, they didn't care, as was revealed in a secret memo, ands of war that they care about iraq's oil reserves. and they were discussing it

before the war even began declassified documents states that the british governments was encouraged to start preliminary work to ensure you k companies are well placed to pick up contracts in the aftermath of the war. by way of specific follow up, we should convene meeting with b, p shell and other appropriate u. k. companies, whether together or separately to explore ideas and tap into the expertise, we would need to handle this carefully and assure it was confidential to avoid charges of oil motivations. so preliminary work to ensure you k companies will place to pick up contracts in the aftermath. this is all in the public domain. it's been 20 years and still no one has been held accountable. a country was destroyed, a president's was basically assassinated. and those who did it aren't behind bars. no, but lecturing, all those on war and peace. the bad guys got away,

unbelievable. archie continues as coverage of the legacy, the u. s. left in iraq after the unprovoked invasion. later throughout the day. stay tuned. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from great a with food and medicine. and sleep with
