oh, a russia celebrates the 9th anniversary of the crimean referendum. we take a look at deed classified ca, plans to invade crimea as far back as 1957, yet has decided to spend $20000.00 to the organization of american states that is not concerned with the region where ukraine is located. the grades on revealed cash strapped ukraine is funding a washington based organization, as can please for more western support. european politicians demand serbia demolish memorial to children killed in the nato bombing of yugoslavia in 1999

causing outrage among local when they can take away their monuments of the crimes. they've committed all around the world here. monuments other rivers of blood over innocent b. those 2 months will not be fulfilled in serbia. it is not going to happen with good morning for martine or national studios in moscow. and welcome to the hour's top stories across the globe. i'm pure allies about a declassified cia document reveals washington had plans to start a conflict with moscow through an invasion of crimea as far back as 957. it's now been almost a decade since the crimean referendum brought the peninsula back into the russian fold and occasion that russian president vladimir putin, mark by promising to protect the region at all costs. davis didn't as it continued

e, she was still busy 9 years ago. the residence of crimean, so estoppel made their unambiguous and final historical choice to again and for a more become part of our big united country is obvious that who crimea, in some estoppel, issues of security are of high priority, especially today, but it will do everything to stop any threats you'll in few of the way, 9 years ago, crimea voted to reunite with russia despite much protest from kiev and the west, which continues to this day. but this price peninsula was in washington's cross hairs for a lot longer. that just about a decade way back in 1957, the cia prepared plans to divide and conquer. what was then soviet ukraine featuring a report that divided the republic into 12 zones of varying potential support for us forces in the event of an invasion. ah,

fast forward to post soviet times, and it looks like little has changed from the 2004 our ins revolution to europe by don in 2014 support for closer ties to the west or russia are distributed along essentially the same lines ah, a conclusion then, and now much of western ukraine views collaboration with the u. s. favorably done boss and crimea, not so much in 2 areas of the ukraine,

the local population apparently hold few grievances against the regime and probably would not assist special forces. the 1st is the crimean peninsula, which has historically been a part of russia being incorporated into the ukraine, only in february, 954 when it was transferred away from the rest of us are the 2nd area with a population strongly loyal to the regime, is the don bass, don bass is the center of heavy industry and mining in the ukraine. and the part from the crimea is the least ukranian district and its population and national character. ukrainians are a minority in the don bass, and those who live there are mostly urbanized frequently speak russian, and in many cases no longer consider themselves ukrainian cartucker than a desa. we're not far behind those regions in terms of anti western sentiment. and lo and behold, they had formed their own independence movements during euro, my dog, both of which were crushed by the ukrainian government, the 1957,

c. i a report put certain regions west of lou ganske into another category entirely where a specific support was to be expected. but the most anti soviet area was designated zone 8. these were areas where pro nazi and nationalist sentiments were high. and the us expected the least resistance, and that also happened to be rich in natural gas. ah, you'll notice this document when it was classified in 2017, but it does reveal a few important facts. the u. s. has long been looking to get its hands on ukraine . it's long been trying to sabotage russia and until recently, it essentially recognized on boss and crimea as russia let's cross live to janice, become an editor in chief of m b, lead k for some more on the referendums anniversary. welcome janice. it's been

almost a decade since the crimean referendum took place. how would you sum up what the last 9 years have been like for the people in the peninsula? no, of course, here from the dorm, that's where i've been living bust 8 years. we sincerely are grateful that the people of crimea didn't have to go through everything of what we have gone through here in dorm. but in donna's grandmother, ask region to referendum there. and the 1st steps of the russian federation saved of that region from the terrible civil war. what then was sheer after and, and of course we are all happy for the, the rightness and go the steps what to cry me and people did. and, and we, we all celebrated with them while the $957.00, c, i, a report on ukraine drew clear lines across the country,

showing the different sentiment in each region. and that what they felt port moscow . so they knew about crimea strong support for their russian unification back then why do you think they found the referendum results to be so unbelievable? no. don't the political game or the media narrative caused the shots here? not the truth and the fact on the table. this is indeed a very interesting study with came out of the year 1957. it's the time when the builder burg group was created just few years before and i went all word the the reports from to build a big group on that year as well. and i saw that there was lots of discussion about the european security situation. and when we look back now the time lines of especially a bridge, seen skis, o school or ship in the polish or cranium relations. and of the taking more the

east of crane, which was then continued by the rand corporation. we all see a parallel and that parallel eastern defense ministry of usa, the georgetown university, duran corporation of the strategies like brzezinski. they have all planning these for decades. and her to, to get russia a war ellie's front yard. do the war against of cravings that, that there has been a long time. oh, target and, and go down to crimean situation was a step board. you start this conflict here. certainly it was beautiful to see that the crime me a was not destroyed but, but in the same time, the people of eastern grade as it was planted, was driven to war against the west. western subordinate elements in grain. you

mentioned the rand corporation that 2019 ran report also detailed ways to destabilize russia via its former soviet states. now, what other points of entry ah, could be possible for you as in beijing, though the plans were drawn up decades ago? do you think there could have some sort of role to play for ukraine and its allies in the current conflicts? yeah, i would leave docked, absorb george soros who has been on the main ponder off these o n g o groups which has boosted these own conflicts due to the demand behind the euro. why then, and the man behind the to creating the atmosphere ready for this conflict? oh, there are many factors and, but seems like that everything is very understandable, very logical, very true nicole and very much against a population of crank and is busy on the russian population in a grain. oh,

thank god the russia is up to the dust and to protect the bead russian population in, in this region. because the mean powers, they have done these in a very own like planet steps and, and these explains why sort soros has been so active in a crania territory. why the canadian, oh, what can we say? canadian ukrainian, nazis have been so active. they have had these blast youth 1957, and they have implemented them together with the been the going together with the rand corporation. now in context of this recent report, what do you make of the fact that the so called orange revolution began in the exact reason that the cia predicted would be most likely to support foreign intervention back in 1950000. yes, so very interesting light on that because 2004 was to build the time when the into

independence movement in donors can regards people's republics. rise up basically from only from the local population like alexanders on a shanker, who was the 1st head of the doris people's republic. he was the man who created this independence movement, the indoor, don't bust endurance as they get they are seeing those very straight. i think that the 2004 was a planet pro vocation for the russian population. it was not meant to go as far as it then went 10 years later. but it certainly along the local population in dorm, was that the possibility offered, where it nazi style regime come to power in keel east on the planning table. and it's very possible and it's a real threat. that's why the dorm was the longest and honest people's republic were ready to stand up as an opt in mind and movement and made a d face against

a nazi but dollars which were sent to dollars. right. it seemed to set the stage and address yesterday. president putin reiterated just how vital both crimea and stuff estoppel are to russia and how they'll get unconditional support and protection from moscow. how do you think that message will resonate with the west? no, it was to blow, certainly the key element of keeping balance, not only in the black sea region and in the south in russian re regions, but also in the middle east, in the mediterranean, the whole core of the multiple, our world east, dependent from the sim was to pull and, and certainly oh, if you've, let's say that if we lose to say i was to pull, we would lose syria, we will lose the mediterranean region. the middle is we need that power to bow as a duck. the powers in the very white regional continents. and oh,

certainly was sad from the point of view of the dorm was people because russia made very clear from the beginning that grimy and question is a separated western and it will be dealt differently. and as we see, the people of dorm was had to gary very big responsibility by themself, with their own shoulders. oh, and up. but gladly we are. and up to the situation, what we have to day so that the russian brothers are here to support the dorm with people. jennifer conan eder, and chief of m. b. letty, thank you for that. thank you very much. as ukraine plays for more money kept sponsors the organization of american states, that's according to grey's own journalists, anya parent pal, who conducted an investigation related to the funding of the organization. well, it looks ridiculous that ukraine is constantly begging the united states to send

more taxpayer dollars. we constantly have us politicians on screen in the united states, trying to convince the us public that we should be spending more taxpayer dollars to crane because they're broke and they deserve it apparently. and yet, keith has decided to send $20000.00 to the organization of american states, a multilateral institution that is not concerned with the region where ukraine is located. and so there's really no reason for ukraine to be sending this money to an organization in washington that is concerned with issues in the latin american and caribbean region. unless ukraine is just there, pretty much to just nudge the institution even further in the direction of acting as a tool of u. s. policy in the region which and ukraine is just supporting the u. s. in its mission. if converting the oas into that according to the i m f,

ukraine is the poorest country in europe. as g d p is estimated to have fallen by 30.4 percent at the end of last year, the workers all in the country's history. but despite this grim reality, ukraine and several e u member sponsor the u. s. based body. the organization which claims to promote democracy includes all american nations except cuba and venezuela. some latin american countries have criticize the organization, saying it has lost legitimacy. on of her po, again says that the o e as is the usual of us intervention in latin america, you ever mix you'll, if you go from the cover the oas, especially over the past several years. the main, it's the main purpose of its existence has been to further, extremely aggressive us intervention policies in latin america and the caribbean. this is under the leadership of secretary general luis on ma, grow, who is currently facing an ethics investigation. ma grow as well as some of the us

diplomats, if you can call them that. who worked there during the trump administration. really weaponized the o as in order to achieve u. s. policy goals with respect specifically to venezuela, nicaragua, and bolivia. you may recall that the o s was instrumental in providing the justification for the coo in 2019 that took place in bolivia, ousted the democratically elected president abel morales, and installed a very brutal military dictatorship. a honda said truly in the country for for several months until it was defeated by the bolivian people. and austrian politician has called on serbia to demolish a memorial to children killed in the nato bombing campaign of the country in 1999.

the official says the monument encourages anti american and anti nato sentiments as long as serbian and sadly, even some austria, politicians from the extreme left and right endorse such hateful distortion of fact . it's clear, austria and serbia remained the cradle of european anti americanism and anti nato sentiment. by call to remove this monument immediately. no memorial to serbian children kell during 3 months of the nato bombing campaign commemorates what belgrade calls aggression against the country. in 1999 the memorial depicts a 3 year old girl, one of the youngest victims killed during the air raids. she was one of $2500.00 civilians killed during the nato campaign, which was carried out without the approval of the un security council. to day those who survived the bombing se, serbia will never forget needed them what i mean, we will never forget their imperialistic aggression towards serbia and the serbs.

and they will never succeed in trying to brainwash us so that we change our minds about them. they ask us to remove our monuments to they can hide their trace in their role in it because they are the ones who committed the aggression o. m. him probably spend too much time thinking about all sorts of their crafts from the e. u and their messages, those demands will not be fulfilled in serbia. it is not going to happen a portal for the me poke major. we will not do this and we shouldn't do it because we don't want to destroy the collective memory. we have partly because of them in the 1st place. those monuments represent symbols of resistance to those who ask us, take them down and a warning to future generations to not succumb to ultimatums rather than me go. tell me, do they build monuments to their loved ones? they lost so what so strange when we do the same for our loved ones who died in aggression which they led in 1999 against innocent children? that's it's important to remember. so we all know what the nato alliance says, and especially so something like that never happens again. i think that those who

claim their fighting for peace have actually delivered most harm across the world. and that's a fact the death of this child and other children is their footprint, which they left with their aggression, hulu. they can take away their morning months of the crimes. they've committed all around the world. their monuments, other rivers of blood, of innocent people, destroyed cultures sula. zation is okay, and they ask us, give up our martyrs and heroes in this week will never do that. service stood up against not the western world, but against criminals and murderers. there was a nama, get on against serbia, isn't gordon for children to know what was stood up for? what is it for them we fought for them? crowd lynn honorably. serbian people have clearly now forgotten and will keep on fighting as thousands took to the streets of belgrade to protest. europe plan to normalize thighs with the self proclaimed republic of kosovo. the proposal comes from france and germany, who recognized christina's independence,

while belgrade considers it a breakaway region. while details of the plan have not been made public, it is noted includes a pledge from serbia not to oppose kosovo membership in international organizations, such as the un. and a recent israeli rate on the city of janine has enraged palestinians who have taken to the streets by the thousands earlier on thursday, thousands of mourners marched on the streets of janine to this site were for palestinians were killed during israeli raids. one of the victims of the assault was the 16 year old boy, according to the palestinian health ministry. 20 others were injured by gunfire. witnesses of the deadly rate of shared their experiences. the block nod, we heard the sound of gunfire and after that an empty scotto and my car was loaded up and it was feeling vehicle is destroy than the armed classes began with the up. the opened fire in the shop we were in. we were stuck hiding more than 2 out in

jamaica. then they blew up the car. they couldn't a message to, you know, many citizens here. 60 old boy was injured and later died up in may. god have mercy on him. about 3 of us were injured from his relative special forces headed to the center of jeanine and surrounded it as a leg multiple in clashes and they how to fly randomly to escape him. hostile. this comes amid a rising number of israeli. saddler attacks on palestinian farmers depriving them of their land, our teeth. maria fin notion of picks up the story. growing all lives so taken care of sheep does not sound like dangerous jobs. but here in the west bank that listing and farmers and shepherds received threats and get us sold it on a daily basis by israeli settlers who say the greenfields, they hurries greys on, belong to them. not agree with folks 42 said there's attacked me. they hit me with an olive tree branch in my face and throw dirt at me. the purpose afraid me, so i lost my vision and then they started bidding me

a number of jewish outposts in this area. actually illegal on the railey law and israeli court ruled to demolish and evacuate them, but they are being reinforced instead. and the number of settlers attacks is rising . local show me of the do. they filmed that catches a very aggressive behavior. when israeli sat there living nearby, he was identified but wasn't detained, or prosecuted. abu m r have farmer from the palestinian town of syndrome, was there what had happened? together with the mayor and other palestinian landowners? he filed an official complaint against assessors through the palestinians to be in lee as on office. the fact was closed in the road again, walker in the army was there watching and didn't intervene until the israeli police came. the bullies pushed the settlers away from us fellow securities tied to this region. we drove through numerous checkpoints and met several military patrols. how? laura, the palestinian village that suffered an unprecedented attack by israeli settlers

last month is in this area to one person die. then dozens of cars and homes were burned. the attackers called it revenge for a deadly shooting in which 2 is really brothers, had been killed. israel increase that security presence in the area shortly after, as it said to counter terrorism. that's son douglas, a palestinian in charge of israeli settlement issues in the north of the you pied westbank says these railey forces a here to protect settlers. yeah. and then while that is clear that a green light was into the settlers by the current government of netanyahu, smarter'n and been vere, the decision to arm them, confirms that there there was directing the army on the ground. when the settlers attacked the philistines, if they face resistance, the army intervened by hitting the area with tear gas companies so that the settlers escape safely, as son says, not only have the attacks increased recently, the also became more organized with settlers, better trained and well armed with the connivance of these railey government,

or with its direct support, would hook me even mistletoe. the government is made up of settlers to day, even the judge of the high court of justice as a settler. 11 class members live in the settlements and for ministers as world settlers have become part of the government. they cannot get rid of themselves, and the mentality has become a settlement until it up lethal sold the u. n. u s. e u. organizations like amnesty international, have repeatedly sent a message to jerusalem warning. the settlement policies dangerous contradicts the idea of a 2 state solution and encourages the settlers aggression. israel's response was bold and clear. the settlements will expand, beautiful and peaceful as this area may look. it hides life threatening dangers. the probably seen in presidency office says last year there were a 16000 tags on palestinian farms by israeli settlers. thousands of trees are burnt . cod animals slaughter those stolen. and just since the beginning of this year, 7 palestinians were killed in these attacks,

fearing for their lives and after losing hope that the law will protect them. many local farmers, young and old, have decided to the attackers satisfaction to move living these fur, to land that has been feeding them for generations behind ration ocean r t from the palestinian authority. that's for the hour and up next host. rick sanchez, discusses sanctions and how they've been used by the was to wage economic warfare on unruly nations coming up on direct impact. thanks for tuning and they closed ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race move is on of very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very political time. time to sit down and talk. i'm willing of them. i saw booty. dorian know cranium, t coyer to anemia idea she ship of dr. lien that report control in particular bought so you should feel free to give them a wadell by likely system will only be near them. did not signify. that's anthony lucy, leah with our partner. chance actually, it's tim jeff arkell room. there's a crazy dental or eastern modern date my subway, but just dory yes or no salad shalise get us whichever we ship them that he just figured for to go. i need a lift or to take him or what is it?

i need a new train schools for that. and he is a visual one. they switched over the course and you can actually reach with global, i'm saying years about how she took on my job is to put up the enough room for a few quick to take a picture of the well go double play. you have to go. so good, i'm up with a wrong one. i just don't know. i mean you have to figure out this thing becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah

products. sanchez, i've been doing news for 30 years to languages all over the world here in the united states. i've interviewed for presidents. i've been fired by some of the largest television networks in the world as well. and i co founded a publicly traded company, and from all that, you know what i've learned, i learned that news should be honest. it should be direct. and by golly, it should be impactful, this direct impact. ah, i want to, um, start with something here. that's interesting if, if i were to start this program today with a list of all the countries in the world who are being sanctioned by, in some way or another by the united states, there would literally be no time left to do anything else. i would simply take out,

you know, a list like this, and i would just start reading along for a half hour. i would just read names, names of people, names of companies, names of countries, names of governments, names of parts of governments, agencies. that's all i would do. in fact, us sanctions around the world. listen to this. have gotten so crazy that it's estimated. one of every 10 countries on earth is being sanctioned in some way. and remember, the sanctions also then extend even to countries that are not sanction. think about that because what is a sanction? it's a punishment, an economic punishment pronouncing to the world that country acts or person acts right is not allowed in the international playground. that means the other

kids can't play with them. obviously the other kids are actually real, real countries who are essentially being told who they can talk to, who they can do, deals with who they can buy goods from or services from and who they can sell goods or services to soap eat. here's the thing. what happens when enough countries are told over and over again what they can and can't do? what happens when that happens, right? what do you think they do? i'll tell you what they do. they start creating ways to work around these u. s. punishments, these castigation. if you will, and the results are usually also not good for united states companies. in fact, let me share something with you. some u. s. companies are themselves told they have.
