the national a, with the headlines this our yet another revelation by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh. i see says the german chancellor and intelligence agencies helped conceal u. s. involvement in the no stream sabotaged russia. was that britain's plan to send you re me and my munition to ukraine is a part of quote, nuclear armageddon. as london washington tried to downplay the devastating effects of those weapons. also, standing in the middle of a crater made by that such go ballistic missile, which is capable of carrying nuclear ammunition. obviously this was not the case.

this time around. however, this building has been completely destroyed. the latest ukrainian tack on the hits a water supply posted at the vital for the city survival with . good morning i welcome to our to international book office in life from last year . this is supposed to be out. as always, it's great to have you with us. i memorize her mommy. let's take a look at the top stories this hour. yet another revelation about us involvement in the node stream sabotaged pulitzer prize. winning journalist seymour hersh says, germany is talking to low laugh shoals helped the u. s. government cover up its role in the bombing. 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 north stream to in the words of the intelligence community. the agency was to post the system in an effort to discount the claim that biden had ordered the pipelines destruction. for i that report the knoll seemed disposal was once again pulled up in the white house news conference, a senior us official reaffirmed washington's position to the public that the u. s. was not involved in any way. despite what subs in media rippled, say, germany hasn't commented on the new developments. his odds, he is, caleb morgan, with more details on this story. now the united states had been trying to stop the nord stream to 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 they had a meeting to discuss putting out their own version of a dance to distract from hirsch's bomb shell revelations. basically, it appears that meeting took place in early march shay with an 80 minute meeting between biden and the german chancellor, and which they decided they would come up with a new version of the dance. here's what the article from seymour hers had to say. it 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 source within the american intelligence community, the disinformation professionals inside the cia understand that a 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 revelations. they have kind of led their audiences to look elsewhere and not highlighted this. now hers argues that this is because mainstream it in 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 a president who made an unwise decision and is now lying about it. now, julian barnes, who 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 nordstrom 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 b, or if we couldn't answer that, who might they be aligned with? right, could they be pro russian saboteurs? could they be other saboteurs? and the more we talk to officials who had access to intelligence, the more we saw this theory gaining traction her. and my

initial thought that this could be pro russian savvy tours, turned out to be wrong. and we learned that it was most likely a pro ukrainian group here. 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, my god, i should be very clear that we no ho, really very little right. this group remains mysterious and it remains mysterious, 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 his mom shall revelations, cannot be taken seriously. one thing that was pointed out in hershey's recent article is that biden has not ordered any investigation into the nord stream to attack and the destruction of the pipeline. hers argues that this is because bide

knows what happened. the chairman of the german opposition group of serenity and constitution. ralph thomas naima says the scenario pushed by western officials and mainstream media outlets is clearly out of place. no one believes now the official version. i mean, everyone says no, it must have been de americans because mr. biden earlier in february, and you 22 said, oh, we have to stop at the mentor stream to pipeline. well, it is, obviously, i call it happens of mass distraction that's pronounced this way. and then 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 brag. and next 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 harm for the national security interest of some other nation. so we can all get to it as the german people. we want the gas 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 order to come to washington and get new artist. russia has worn that western powers are leading the world to quote, nuclear mcgayden rushes. i'm bassett. the us made those comments in response to washington's terrace. and down plan plan buys ally the u. k. to send to you randomly them amunition to grain and he make no mistake. and it is, this is yet another straw man through which the russians are driving a stake. this kind of ammunition is a fairly common place been in use for,

for decades. american officials have he to yet another law with their irresponsible statements. let me remind you than monday, using this kind of ammunition, radioactive dust settled on the grounds. it is extremely toxic and cannot be de contaminated such substances broke outbreaks of cancer. the american snobbish to very well because they have already used this weapons in iraq and yugoslavia. it seems that the enlightened west, led by washington, has irrevocably decided to bring humanity to dangerous line. beyond which nuclear armageddon looms clearly. worthington high, then the size that the u. s. isn't planning to send such ammunition, although it has being down playing concerns about the negative. a thanks on the environment depicted. you rainy my munition. use the piercing armored vehicles, especially tanks as being known to release toxins into the soil and affected the ground water. britain has insisted that the uranium lay in weaponry will not lead

to a nuclear escalation. a senior russian official has opposed those claim saying, such ammunition is comparable to a dirty bomb. they can see in the sink. i accustomed here not to hear that the black is white and the white is black and it's normal practice. then the light is more terrible. it's more reliable. it's nice because this issue, it's very serious issue, but nobody on them i'm in the bas wants to get them to discuss what the consequences, cetera. we had an intervention and the forum for security corporation here warming because it's very dangerous it's, it's a dirty kind of dirty bob and who had already seen the consequences of using this in the us. and i was hearing me and i was a witness. how they used it. i haven't seen the consequence in that time,

but it started night and i was here and it was in iraq, a logical. this is a lung cancer sit or increased, especially in children. i don't know why, but it's in the interest to say to say to pronounce against it, but i think it's just the bed frame, a government. so they don't want to make a contradiction to, to, to go to the conflict, to the, the position. all anglo saxons here, and it's seen during the discussions, but the coolest everybody understand it's necessary to do something. can they express position, not openly, just not to damage their own diplomatic careers that says

they're afraid of this very simple london, that has a long tradition of a to make programs to russia. you have 300 is history or one of the great politicians 100 years ago. but it feels uncomfortable when there is no. there are no conflicts in europe. even without the uranium ammunition, the ukrainian army has been tormenting the city of den s a recent fact. bike is forces severely damaged, a water supply facility that is considered vital for the city are thing correspondent, robin cars or of reports. ah, ben, ah,

these are the remains of a soviet made that such ha, who miss irish was fired by you korean military against as civilian area here, hinden as thankfully, no one was injured or killed during this attack. however, a local water treatment plants, or rather the maintenance a shop here was completely destroyed. take a look at that. ah realty all coach structure. so, oh, the missile strike happened about 4 am and most of our emergency service is located in this building. at the time of strike, thankfully no one was inside, the building and all the repair equipment were completely destroyed. our service can no longer operate here with anybody. so i'm standing in the middle of a crate are made by that such go ballistic message is capable of carrying nuclear

ammunition. obviously, this was not the case. this time around. however, this building has been completely destroyed. now the radius of this crater is about 25 meters and the depth wally could fit another 3 or 4 or 4 me thankfully no one was heard or injured during this blast. that took place at 4 o'clock in the morning. ah, ah! up through the pillars hoarded this way every day we do repair and restoration work is just we do it even under shillings. if water leaks, it must be eliminated. a problem shedding is taking place here, even though it's a civilian area. there are no military facilities here. the school is 15 meters away in. we would lucky that show his at 4 am schools. it struck later which no one would have been life. the city of jeannette scan, its outskirts, are under constant ukrainian artillery shelling. now this is just the latest

example of destruction in a civilian area. maintenance workers here are doing their best and they're working every day in order to fix what ukraine is destroying on a daily basis. now sharon continues even right now as we speak, hands at people around us are now hiding in basement for one quarter. if r t then escrow public it seems of some u. s. allies, australia, for example, of thought it turning their backs on washington city and sen, jordan. still, john has even accused the u. s. of persistently using armed conflicts to advance its own national interests. they begin a conflict in their national interest and they ending in their national

interest, the people of vietnam, the people all iraq, the people of afghanistan know that america is a very bad house. guest is not the only one as another or other countries around the world. are distancing themselves from us policies are see course for it seems to any of the details. the u. s. clearly views itself as a global leader, the most important country on the planet. they are both countries that chief in bristol, at u. s. leadership around the world and in china's case in particular, they certainly like to challenge us leadership around the world, based on america's increasing leadership around the world, launched an u. s. leadership around the world. every country on the continent is different, has different needs and, and a, and different expectations of american leadership. that's the power of american convening leadership. what they're trying to do, which is basically challenge american leadership. but no matter how many times

kirby says it's a large part of the world sees things differently. this has become more evident after chinese president changing pings, landmark meeting with president vladimir putin in moscow yet will colon rachida. chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations over the last 10 years, and are of crucial and vital importance for today's world order. a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind were guided by the principles in the un charter and a day to an unbiased view were always ready for peace and dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history. their meeting caused concern for the u. s. and with described of the west worth nightmare. she's words drew contempt from washington with kirby saying that any say far agreement reached between the 2 needed over the conflict and ukraine would be unacceptable. as washington continued pouring billions of dollars and flooding the parcel filled with deadly alms,

any ceasefire that does not address the removal of russian forces from ukraine would effectively ratify russia's illegal conquests. as the u. s. spins its narrative of a global consensus against russia. the truth is that 85 percent of the world's population has not joined western sanctions on moscow. while the western narrative on ukraine is falling apart, there is a growing awareness of the proxy war in ukraine has been sure, by interested, frankly, care more about destroying russia than saving you crime. my position on this war hasn't been popular. i know that. but more people are now seeing that the effectively what that this war effectively began with the u. s. back who of 2014, that saw the replacement of the ukranian government. since then, ethnic russians have been targeted by neo nazi groups operating under sanction by the ukraine government. even the former u. s. ally of brazil has rejected the wes plans to send on to ukraine and wants to

increase its cooperation with russia. russia is not an insignificant country. russia is very important in terms of ensuring peace across the world for centuries . countries across the african continent, including eritrea, also disagree with the western narrative. let me take this opportunity to re offend me. editors principally position on the ukraine. critics, a pretext that has said the 2nd phase in ukraine and niches people for the deposit for quote, for the particles of destroying the russian federation. the relationship between russia and africa is growing. president putin recently announced that relations with the content or a priority for moscow writing of $20000000000.00 of the debt of african countries. while the u. s. has very little to say to the people of africa. cecile in us shows up in this ship from african nations to russia can be explained primarily by the

pragmatic liberation of russia. because in his collaboration, especially in terms of security, russia is above all increasingly pragmatic and to fight against terrorism in the south. hell. while in the case of the united states and european nations, they are more political than programmatic on the ground. so african states really need pragmatic liberation that really brings about change. how many years has this calibration existed between african nations and the united states? but all the time, the crisis is only increasing. so that is why african nations today are more for russia than for the united states. they got on prescriptive other people are more russian oriented because they are a great power. and we can see they have started to help certain african countries and difficulty with terrorism already. and molly, we could see the armament support. so it's good. we can collaborate with russia as we have already noticed the results in molly. it is something that cannot be hidden . turning to the middle east,

china has broken an historic piece still between saudi arabia and iran, which could see an end to the conflict in yemen. a country which has been bothered to the brink of the world's worth farming and more than a century, of course, with the help of arms and military support from washington. so it seems that at least 85 percent of the world rejects you as colonialism. as we start to see the beginnings of a new world order, the south african nation of zimbabwe has been seeking to strengthen his equal size with russia, including exiles of fruit, coffee, tea and tobacco. despite us sanctions and rise in prices for feel and fertilizer cimbawe way has shown economic resilience and growth by has been particular with the case with tobacco production, which accounts for a quarter of the countries export revenue local revolves her mary allendale has the

details in bob bristow, backer, farmers are proving that herself sustainable economy as possible. regardless of the south african country being under sanctions imposed by the west. this year if the country is expecting a total of $230000000000.00 cages of tobacco. despite the high increases in prices or fet, laser is and other chemicals, our cost of doing business is going up after li sanctions are imposed on december around early $2.00, thousands are led to $9.00 to $90.00 is an entirely 2000. so our tobacco production in output grew by 15 percent year, one year from 2019 to 2020 period. that is after that point of innovation were, were promulgated by agriculture and foot systems transform mission strategy and agriculture recovery. and, and growth crunch saw above out for the cheer go by 15 percent to bumper export

school by 26 percent, which was quite, quite incredible. regardless of the increase in fertilizer and chemical prices across the world. zimbabwe, the young farmers are grateful to the support the country has been receiving from countries like russia and bella. bruce, something that i could have done may be sy fy fixes example that if it i can now produce maybe 15 he does because everything is made much more efficient. so we really grateful for that. and we hope that these bilateral agreements and these bilateral relationships between our country and other countries, not just russia, billers, and so on. but many other countries come on board work with us as above where we have so much to offer with a new wave of his and bob, we inspire save every new wave of farmers who want to achieve more will want to see our country prosper. and we are eager to put in the work in 2021 in barbara, and more than $850000000.00 united states dollars in tobacco export. it'll be

interesting to see how the country golden live industry will cantino in the coming years made him would be reporting for r t in had at a symbolic. meanwhile, farmers in romania, bulgaria, i'm poland. risk being put out of business follows a surge of grain and oil seed imports from ukraine, which was supposed to go to impoverished nations in africa. the european commission has responded by establish a 156000000 euro fund to help those offensive by the crushing local prices all the contributor rachel miles and says her opinions on the issue. 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 they're all this talk about the desperate need to get ukranian grayed out of the conflict

zones. who africans 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 green 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 ukranian 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 use only 56000000 euros for the specific situation. target president ratio air 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 port 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 amass the massive piles of cash required to push in their policy disaster as it circle back and crash landed right on european farmers, the cash 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 u denied hungry in slovakia is requests for assistance. brussels has burned so many holes and its own wallet that it now has to make cut, throw decisions about which of its kids get to eat and hungry as like their red

headed step child. all this flooding of the eat with ukrainian grain could have been avoided quite easily. if brussels had just ensured that the food was going to, it's stated purpose that is feeding the world's poor. russian president vladimir putin has been warning all on that. all of it was being mr. acted spirit or why she would. what from august 1st 2022, to march 20th 202-3800. 27 ships left ukraine, of which only 3000000 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 resounding policy success from the big brain bureaucrats in brussels. another global commodities making headlines as the london muslim exchange was rocks by what's being described as a may just sit back. instead of bags of nickel in their warehouse, they found stones longdon, metal exchange warehouse warrants used to be the goal standard to warehouse warrants around the world. treated as a near cache equivalent. softly has gone horribly wrong. the l m e. 9 can't rank sir, couldn't tear $54.00 tons of nickel have been declared invalid also been found to be quote, non conforming. what should have been vase of fuel nichols turned out to be tons of stones. all muscle stored at the warehouse is weighed and the facts of rocks should

not have passed. inspection political. alice and a xander mckay says the incidents like this one drastically undermined quin ability in such financial institutions. people is starting to see more, more incidents of misrepresentation of these commodities and misrepresentation of what they are, what these companies have a have in terms of what they have available to trade. and this all comes from essentially a trust slowly breaking down in the system. me see something that will under metal exchange or me or does the business that it does and he's able to, i have as many clients as it does because it has a long established almost 150 year reputation. and now what we found over really the past 20 years with regards to a lot of these long established trading.
