3:02 pm
nothing is forbidden. we don't violate in the conventions, but we all remember what consequences the use of depleted uranium supplies lead to in yugoslavia, iraq were tens of thousands of civilians and military personnel suffered from the use of this ammunition. depleted uranium routes have been previously used by western militaries, against armour, and vehicles and tanks as this by grave environmental and health concerns. russia's foreign ministry warned of the impacts of using the ammunition through cheaply meaning it shall was depleted uranium destroying only current generations. but also future ones. these weapons have already been used in recent history, gain, flaking, incompatible damage in contrasts with conventional weapons that they also have a direct impact him human health. the targets of the munitions will suffer as well . those currently residing in the affected area as well as future generations. in addition to killing people, these munitions also destroy the land to where they affect the soil and the ground
3:03 pm
water from mental years. they are glad it was the incredibly strong word there, highlighting the potential long term impact on the use of depleted uranium in ukraine in talking about the increase levels of radioactivity in all the problems associated with that. now she said that depleted uranium could cause a genocide for the population there, but she expressed concern that ukrainians not really fully aware of the potential impact of the use of such munitions on their territory. they are only being told da sir. the west is there to help them and is to bring prosperity to ukraine, but she described a propaganda operation. of course, there's only one news channel in ukraine. the rest was shut down by presidential decree following the special military operation on february 24th. let's listen to what she said. i mean you, when you my, you craniums are being told have the west is advocating billions in foreign currency to become a prosperous state. what billions they're ready to use. depleted uranium on the do
3:04 pm
you know, the poland began to export, fertile soil from deer, as the nazi troops during the 2nd world war? do you understand why you were in such a hurry? because after the use of shells was depleted, uranium the crop, if any, will only be poison. washington keeps on saying, save that. this conflict in ukraine is about a battle for ukraine's future democracy. one might fear there's not much of a future if the whole line is going to be irradiated by the use of these are depleted uranium tips ammunition shells. one of the long term consequences, steve, of using something like this will of course, the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield remains a kind of a legal gray area, but it's still incredibly controversial. now the united states use depleted uranium perhaps most famously in the iraqi town or felicia, and that led to arise of birth defects arise, miscarriages arise in kansas. now in 2010,
3:05 pm
you study by leading medical journal found a 38 fold increase in leukemia. now to put that into perspective, that's higher than the figures that were found in survivors of the rossimer nuclear bomb attack, of course, drop by the united states at the end of the 2nd world war. now i was there last week i was in flu. i spoke to medics on the ground and they said it was undeniable that there was a cause link between depleted uranium on the defects and abnormalities that we've heard about. but what they also said was that they were placed on the extreme pressure by the united states not to speak out now. the 2010 report i just referred to, of course, bailey created a murmur in the, in the mainstream pricing. the western press, meaning that the scandal of lou just being subjected to a cover up. but let's listen to what some of those people on the ground is about. what happened to them did it by my, their lover. we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the u. s. invasion. children were rarely born with deformities in fallujah may be one or 2
3:06 pm
cases out of a 1000 births. a year later, we decided to have another baby, but the 2nd baby was also born deformed, and my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. they told us that he is sick and feeling poorly. the reason is that felicia was a battleground from 2005 to 2013, especially in the district. we are living in now, of course it's not just the united states navy, so has admitted to dropping 31000 uranium bombs during its campaign in yugoslavia and 90909 now more, more than 300 italian soldiers died as a result of exposure to the munitions they're involved in a court case against the military alliance. one serbian lawmaker who was involved in investigations and research found that the country's natural environment was damage. that was pollution to the air, the land, the solar and water. now,
3:07 pm
some experts have said that depleted uranium poses a major global threat describing the use of depleted uranium as a trojan horse of nuclear war and saying that it could slow to wipe out humanity. perhaps some surprisingly, britain has been among those leading opposition to cause for a band or even a moratorium of the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. britain had previously claimed that shall wilson depleted uranium. do not even have highly was levels of radioactivity than all the household goods. like microwave ovens, for example, and the defense ministry has defended its use of depleted uranium. once more, it's accusing russia of deliberately spreading at this information, and it insists that the impact on personal health and the environment is low, but of course, to do otherwise. otherwise would leave them open to war crimes charges. the world health organization has, however, expressed some concerns over the use of depleted uranium, but experts again,
3:08 pm
he said that that body was also pressured into down playing evidence into the effects. and this is just simply adding fuel to those claims. over cover of the west continues to violate international law acting with impunity. but it's a people an in the world that continue to suffer the consequences. eritrea is seeking deeper ties with russia. that's the message coming from the countries foreign minister as he met with his russian counterpart, hours ago in the southern russian city of. so she, he added that the western partners are pending states against each other, citing the conflict in ukraine and tension in taiwan as examples. let me take this opportunity tore a fear me at it just principally position on the ukraine critics. at pretext that has said the 2nd phase in ukraine and need to speak with for the deposit quote quote, for the deposit of destroying garage. hm. figuration. just as if they one issue is
3:09 pm
being foisted as a pretext to bring the co holt janice peaceful place by any means necessary including violent conflict. these irresponsible policies are in then getting humanity. they focused really on the mutual struggle. both countries are having against western una polarity, and that's what sir gay love rav meant when he said that bilateral relations between these countries were developing under modern conditions. now of course, defense co operation is essential to achieving that, as well as to protect regional stability in contradiction to the west's attempts to keep this region and chaos. now i was also able to ask a question to the richer and foreign minister about a recent comments made by u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin, who claimed that the richer in government had committed war crimes. in response, he said that that was an outright lie,
3:10 pm
a secretary of state. and his judgment is always in is not acceptable because it depends on their own interests, ported out on shake for to get on and finish the of course they blame, added to that is did way how to do things with them. how do business with them? and will always say that we say we tell them we don't accept it and we don't accept it because it is a lie. and we, that is for tim sergey lever. i've also accused the west of attempting to use the issue of human rights to interfere in the domestic affairs of various different countries. and so he also said that russia will continue to stand with a retro for the enforcement of the un charter, something that lab,
3:11 pm
rob said the west violated when if disregarded the minsk protocols. there were supposed to establish a ceasefire in the don boss conflict before russia launched its special military operation. but so gay laugh have also said that this is just one of many acts that the west has taken in a long trend of basically breaking international rules such us as little nego illness. now the international criminal court is headed by a prosecutor who's a naturalized anglo saxon, and who of course, fulfills the orders of his masters. which forbids this body to investigate needle member countries and incites to seek out far fetched pretexts, non existent facts in order to promote the agenda of the west. so now there was also talk about a number of other areas of co operation and both leaders talked or both foreign ministers rather talked about a deepening cooperation in the sphere of the economy as well as in the sphere of education. for example, russia is planning to increase the quota of scholarships for
3:12 pm
a retreat. students that are looking to study and russia yearly. so that's basically a rundown of the general topics that were covered here at the press conference. and at the meeting that preceded it. eritrea was not the only state there was accused of war crimes by washington and t. grey region. secretary of state anti blanket accused ethiopia. this same that prompted a sharp response from the country on washington's goals in the region. i've determined that members of the ethiopian national defense forces, territory and defense forces to great people's liberation front forces and amar of forces committed war crimes. during the conflict in northern ethiopia, members of ethiopia, national defense forces, the artery, and defense forces, and m. our forces also committed crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, and other forms of sexual violence and persecution. the if you open government does not accept the blank and condemnations contained in the statement and does not see
3:13 pm
any value in such a unilateral an adversarial approach. the u. s. statement is inflamatory, whatever the intention of the u. s. they department, this statement will be used to advance highly polarized campaigns, bidding one community against others in the country. meanwhile, ethiopian parliament remove the t gray people's liberation front party from a list of care organizations saying that decision is aimed at strengthening the result of the november 2022 p. steel between the group and the federal government. at the end of last year, both parties of the conflict agreed to a permanent sation of hostilities to end the great war. earlier we spoke with an if you being based economic and political analysts who says the global interest in the country is driven by its geography. and because it leads to the african union. i mean, the primary, the american interest is driven by job with an interest. we go to the middle is
3:14 pm
resty and then this is the head of african union where 54 african countries always meet here. so if you've got an interest on that now a chinese implant is growing in africa and then also russia is coming back after a lapse of somebody union that's probably the biggest, closer i think they just gotta give her mom didn't manage the negotiation professionally and also about their issues with an issue with america. i don't think maybe they would probably be surprised you know, by the situation which is happening at the moment. so. busy i think they blamed primarily goes on how they do best conducting it's foreign policies. so there was the have my and they were analyzed. they had a lot of stuff in security counseling from russia and china india. so now
3:15 pm
that didn't, you know, they want to be very afraid to americans and then now you know, this is kind of like all the german chancellor. all off shows has helped the u. s. government concealed the truth. the nord stream sabotaged the odds and the revelation from award winning investigative journalist seymour hersh, who earlier said washington was behind the attack on russia's gas pipelines. i was told by someone with access to diplomatic intelligence that there was a discussion of the pipeline expos, a. as a result, certain elements in the central intelligence agency were asked to prepare a cover story in collaboration with german intelligence that would provide the american and german press with an alternative version for the destruction of nordstrom to in the words of the intelligence community. the agency was to pulse the system in an effort to discount the claim that biden had ordered the pipelines destruction. now the united states had been trying to stop the nord stream to
3:16 pm
pipeline from being completed had imposed sanctions and had threatened that if there was an escalation in ukraine that the nord stream to pipeline would be destroyed. and so now we have you as mainstream media going into overdrive trying to argue that actually the united states is somehow not responsible for the destruction of the pipeline. despite what has been revealed by hersh, new article published wednesday by pulitzer prize winning journalist says that biden met with the german chancellor. and that they had a meeting to discuss putting out their own version of the dance to distract from hirsch's bomb shell revelations. basically, it appears that meeting took place in early march with an 80 minute meeting between biden and the german chancellor, and which they decided they would come up with a new version of that. so here's what the article from seymour hersh had to say. it
3:17 pm
was a total fabrication by american intelligence that was passed along to the germans and aimed at discredit. in your story, i was told by a source within the american intelligence community, the disinformation professionals inside the cia understand that propaganda gambit can only work if those receiving it are desperate for a story that can diminish or displace an unwanted truth. now you as mainstream media has not given a lot of attention or coverage to hirsch's rabelais patients, they have kind of led their audiences to look elsewhere and not highlighted this. now hers argues that this is because mainstream media in the united states is taking the lead from the white house and following the administration and trying not to point to what has been revealed. the times reporters in washington were at the mercy of white house officials who had access to intelligence. but the information they received originated with a group of ca, experts in deception and propaganda whose mission was to feed the newspaper a cover story and to protect the president who made an unwise decision and is now
3:18 pm
lying about it. now julian bar, sue is the national security correspondent of the new york times has been outspoken trying to make the case that indeed it was not the united states that is responsible for the destruction of the north stream to pipeline. he's been appearing on podcasts and going elsewhere, grasping at straws, trying to make the argument that despite what has been revealed, it was not direct action from the united states, a decision by the us government to destroy the pipeline. here's julian barnes. well, we started asking who might these sabbath tours be, or if we couldn't answer that, who might they be aligned with? right, could they be pro russians habit tours? could they be other savvy tours? and the more we talk to officials who had access to
3:19 pm
intelligence, the more we saw this theory gaining traction. who and my initial thought that this could be pro russian saburd tours, turned out to be wrong. and we learned that it was most likely a pro ukrainian group. oh, so in other words, a group of people who did this on behalf of ukraine. what, what do you learn that makes you think that's what happened? my god, i should be very clear that we know ho really very little right. this group remains mysterious and it remains the serious not just to us, but also to the u. s. government officials that we have spoken to you as mainstream media seems to be very desperately trying to make the case that somehow the united states is not responsible. that seymour hersh bombshell revelations cannot be taken seriously. one thing that was pointed out in hirsch's recent article is that biden
3:20 pm
has not ordered any investigation and to the nord stream to attack and the destruction of the pipeline. hersch argues that this is because by no i western officials and media is clearly out of place. no one believes now the official version. i mean, everyone says no, it must have been the americans because mister biden, earlier in february and 22 said we have to stop at the met not stream to pipeline. well, it is, obviously, i call it weapons of mass distraction. let's pronounce this way and, and it all makes sense because they don't want people to really question the legitimacy of our governments finding. i mean, the german government has done some investigation and they cannot share it. even with members of parliament, they can't, they say to ragged connection, they say we can tell you what we found out because it's that damaging for a partner nation. they don't mention which one that this could do, sir, is hom, for the national security interest of some other nation. so we can all get to it as
3:21 pm
the german people we want to get from not stream to. we want to have good relationship with russia and we want to have peace, of course, and that is all about that. and mr. shots is not looking sovereign in his decision when he can be ordered to come to washington and get new artist farmers in romania, bulgaria, and poland. risk being put out of business by a search of grain and oil seed imports from ukraine. the european commission has responded by establishing a 56000000 euro fund to help those affected by crashing local prices. are contributor racial margin has more on the story. so the european union is having to bail itself out yet again. good thing that they have a seemingly endless supply of taxpayer cash to toss at the problems that they create for themselves. so it turns out that there's even more evidence now that all this talk about, the desperate need to get ukranian grayed out of the conflict zones. who africans
3:22 pm
don't go hungry, was just a pretext to get more ukrainian grain in to europe. until recently, anyone even suggesting that was accused of peddling dis information. as far back as july of 2022 polish farmers said they were worried because 80 percent of the grain coming out of ukraine was going through their country and at risk leaking into the polish market and depressing the prices of their products. but back then, the polish agriculture minister called any suggestions of ukrainian grain ending up on the polish market, quote, information chaos, and the dissemination of false information. yeah, the problem was about as fake as the billions of euros that brussels is now tossing at it. this is support for the foremost affected by the increase of imports from ukraine, not for the consequences of the war. we have reserve for the crisis reserve and we used to live 56000000 euros for the specific situation. target president ratio air
3:23 pm
to one pointed out in january that 44 percent of ukrainian grain was being sent to europe. there's been so much of it going to spain that it's used to feed pegs and livestock there rather than people with the end result being that the country was able to hike it's pork exports by 25 percent last year, but with their own grains devalued as a result of the flooded markets. european farmers don't seem happy about their businesses being made unwitting martyrs for ukraine and pushed out of their own markets in order to keep the sales revenues flowing to kiev. in effect, prices in local regional markets have dropped, causing a significant impact on farmers income. the commission is not reacting swiftly enough. our members had already flagged the concerns about market disruptions last year. so apparently the farmers just don't have much of an appreciation for the amount of time it took brussels to
3:24 pm
a mass. the massive piles of cash required to cushion their policy disaster as it circle back and crash landed right on european farmers, the couch mountains. they've just announced are for poland, romania and bulgaria, but hungarian and slovakian farmers say they're hurting to. we have proven through statistical data figures that hungarian farmers are indeed incurring huge losses because of the grain going through the solidarity lane, staying and hungry. instead of reaching its intended destination, the commission made a political decision rather than a professional. one. exchange price of hungarian grain has fallen from $300.00 euros to $217.00 euros. but the e, you deny hungry and slack is requests for assistance. brussels has burned so many holes in its own wallet that it now has to make cut through decisions about which of its kids get to eat and hungry is like the red headed step child. all this
3:25 pm
flooding of the e with ukrainian brain could have been avoided quite easily. if brussels had just ensured that the food was going to it stated purpose that is feeding the world's poor. russian president, vladimir putin has been warning all along. that all of it was being misdirected stuart why she would do it from august 1st 2022 to march 20th 2023, 827 ships left ukraine, of which only $3000000.00 tons of grain were sent to africa. and 1300000 to the poorest countries in africa. as i said, almost 45 percent went to well fed european countries. despite the fact that this whole deal was presented under the pretext of insuring the interests of african countries. so after banning russian fertilizer, an energy brussels also made its farmers struggle to compete with a flood of ukrainian grain. and now the e. u is having to pay the price literally to the tune of billions. yet another
3:26 pm
resounding policy success from the big brain bureaucrats in brussels. palestinian officials are speaking out against televi for going after journalists. those come as israel's national security minister has banned a palestinian radio station from broadcasting in the country. the voice of palestine will now have its rachel limited to the west bank and the gaza strip. has really authority to say the measure is intended to prevent support for terrorism. following the order police in east jerusalem reportedly summon 5 palestinian journalists for questioning. a mere abbas general manager of the marcelle production company, which works with the voice of palestine told r t how the israeli government rated his company. he said the miss treatment of journalists by authorities goes against internationally accepted practices an
3:27 pm
armored them yesterday in office. the fall television company in the city of jerusalem, specifically in the bay ton in a district, was rated by the police without any war and were summons for interrogation. along with 6 of the employees of the company, under the pretext that it was forbidden to provide services for palestinian television. a few months ago we covered events, syndic nasa with colleagues l i must rekey correspondent for posting on television . one of the ministers of the government, and one of the members of the cannot sets of the liquid party published a photo of us working in the can assets which should embody the democracy that they supposedly follow them. and that was the persecution of the correspondence on social network, even comments with threats to kill them. israel's radical government ignores and international statements. it continues to treat journalists with racism, which is completely contrary to all international law, human rights and freedoms of the media. these railey government is trying to put
3:28 pm
pressure on journalists who are bringing the truth to the world's exposing the israeli governments false commitment to democracy as it tries to silence the voice of truth. this comes on the heels of israel finance minister saying that quote, there is no such thing as a palestinian nation in response to palestinian administration is demanding the international criminal court arrest the minister. his statement. also a vote harsh condemnation from major era nations like saudi arabia and the e, the foreign minister of jordan slammed what he called an inflammatory and resa speech. and pointed out that the minister was speaking from a podium with a map of israel that includes jordan and palestine. her dash party can asset member over kristof believes that the policies of the current israeli government are actually nothing new. i just did this is leah just a couple of hours ago that their job and they decided to expel the wally ambassador
3:29 pm
for may a man. so i think that there shows a what said the reaction and jo. ready them in oh that what they had, they think about it and justly. so i think that among the jewish citizens in israel, there is a real division of schism and part of them. and i don't think that's the majority ali brainwashed a by racism and by fear, fear and hate with a you know, there is this phrase that they, i allow myself to say that i coined which says that feeling 8 with is the wind beneath their light wing so i think you can see that among gay, many israelis, and the common people are not the nicest by nature who is very important fe famous phrase by nancy mandela's, who said that the people are not born to 8. they are taught to be 828,
3:30 pm
and if they can talk to be aides, that can be they can be taught to love an ear because this is more natural to human beings. i think that's all. so the problem is with that there many israelis aliya are really afraid and therefore aids the palestinians because it's because of the racist, systematic, a brain wash and education system and propaganda carried out by di governments. and not only this one, but their former ones as well. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our tea dot com for all of the latest breaking news.
