its standard for use the reputation of the collective west as some kind of peacemaker humanist, some kind of righteous man, was forever buried in yugoslavia. they were saying they were concerned about human rights issues affecting millions in the region. also probably of serbian parts and once you saw them it was battling and also by the so called, also based on your kaylee and us test to volunteer to be done. my fellow americans. today, our armed forces joined our nato allies and airstrikes against serbian forces. responsible for the brutality and coastal, it's expensive. the proverbial shore to thought is war last 2 or 3 weeks. but the to the on for 70 days operation and i force that's what they call it.

2:05 am
health organization based in leone has proved this claim. they found the cause and effect relationship between cancer and uranium was more one or 2. i am not suing nato because of the financial gain. i'm suing them because i want to prove to the world that a crime against serbian people has been committed. the crime was committed by criminals in the nato alliance. i hope i will live long enough to see the success of this lawsuit. i am waiting to see the confirmation that the depleted uranium is responsible for what's happened to us. so i'm on a lucky paula. we will never trust them again, and we will never forgive them for the children, the civilian casualties in the uranium. no, no. listen, osha, if they conducted the biggest ethnic cleansing of the serbian population in croatia and kosovo, the whole world kept silent about it. i am here because it hurts me. my father is a war veteran and an invalid. he sacrificed everything for this state. marking the anniversary of nato's bombing of yugoslavia. you can head over to

a ruptured across the country. with some news outlets lightning the demonstrations to a war zone. over a 1000000 protesters took to the streets against a controversial pension reform heavily armored police have been using tear gas, water, cannon, stun grenades, and buttons against protesters. ah, ah ah ah. present mccomb has brushed aside concerns about police tactics. calling the protesters voiced as illegitimate, promising to implement the reforms,
2:09 am
no matter what that as protest in other countries appear to have his for support or t contributor rachel mars then gives us her take on the story. so the increase of frances retirement age from 62 to 64 years has been rammed through the french national assembly, not by democratic vote, but by french president, emmanuel michaels prime minister elizabeth bon evoking clause 49.3, the french constitution. now that clause permits the government to push through new laws and very limited circumstances without any vote. and also cutting short any debate or discussion on the issue. listening to my call trying to defend his decision to push through this particular law without a vote. you think that the french actually had a chance to express themselves through democratic charles, the crowd. whatever form it takes, has no legitimacy in the face of the people who express themselves through their elected representatives in parliament. so in the absence of the vote on the reform
2:10 am
itself, protesters have continued to take to the street to express their upset and how the whole thing has been handled. so paris right now was basically a giant hel, scape of trash from the sanitation workers joining this strike, which makes for convenient tenure for protesters. so there are trash fires pretty much everywhere. tourists are getting a complimentary dose of tear gas to go with their fresh baguettes, and also a free french revolution experienced tour of the french capital. now remember, the several yellow vast protesters had lost eyes as a result of french police action. we're talking here about france, whose recent leaders have been quick to back protest elsewhere. remember that former french president, nicola sahu z praise the arab spring protesters a decade ago and back to the resulting regime change of leaders like low hall bag bo, of cote d'ivoire, and mom are gadhafi of libya,
2:11 am
and lights are cosy. nicole has also cheered on protesters in other countries. the coming from adobe revolution cannot be achieved on its own. it can be only ducted by the people near look. then you must continue to support the hundreds of thousands of bella russians who peacefully protest for their rights, their freedom and their sovereignty. i salute the courage of the hundreds of thousands of venezuelans marching for their freedom. in a very clear way, france condemns the repressions carried out today by the iranian regime. and we stand by these women. they are a sovereign people fighting for their freedom. so apparently popular protests are only legitimate if they are challenging the policies in action as mach hall, and is western bodies. macros, positioning himself as the defender of democracy. but all he's really defending is the increasingly and democratic establishment. taiwan has recalled its ambassador from underwood us as the central american country seeks to formalize diplomatic
2:12 am
relations with china, sending its foreign minister to beijing. bobo, when you hold off the tongue for your father, though, on china, principal has the overwhelming support and recognition of the international community and represent the irreversible trend of the world. china welcomed the positive statement by the 100 government on developing the relations with china and stance. ready to establish an expend bilateral relations on the basis of equality and mutual respect. under the one china policy, countries must choose between diplomatic relations with beijing or taipei. the loss of endurance would leave taiwan with formal diplomatic ties with just 13 sovereign states, including that can city the change will mark the end of a decades old diplomatic relationship. as the cartoon chooses china over taiwan, asia, political risk, analysts ross find gold, says the ambassadors recall was largely a printer. that's and by type pay to save face it's
2:13 am
very likely that hon. doris is going to establish diplomatic relations with china and terminate diplomatic relations with taiwan. so taiwan is just trying to get out ahead of that. avoid to the best extent possible. being humiliated and to show people here in taiwan that the government is doing what's necessary to maintain the dignity of itself. and basically off taiwan in general. you know, another possibility would have been, as many other countries have done, suddenly an out across conference and say, we're recognizing china and d, recognizing taiwan. and that's often very humiliating for taiwan because it makes it seem like taiwan was very reactive. so to say we're angry and we're recalling our ambassador bassinger was probably gonna have to be recalled. anyway,
2:14 am
one time doors made it to formal announcement. the chinese government has no access to private data on tick tock, users. that's the position of the company, c, e o, as he was forced to defend the platform before us congress. while officials grills him over fears, the popular app could be away for china to spy on us citizens. despite no tangible evidence being presented to backup that claim, the chinese government has that data. wow. how can you promise that that that will move into the, into the united states of american be protected here a congressman? i have seen no evidence that the chinese government has access to that data. they have never asked us. we have not provided let you know i've asked that. i find that actually preposterous. i have fun. i looked in, i have seen no evidence of this happening. and in order to assure everybody here
2:15 am
and although uses our commitment is to move data in into the united states to be stored on american soil by an american company overseen by american personnel. so we have the ceo of tick tock testifying before a u. s. congressional committee and explaining the great length, the tick tock goes to in order to protect the data of its users. however, these answers are not satisfying for many in the u. s. congress. i, in addition to that, there are concerns about problematic videos on tick tock depicting violence, suicide, drug use, and other harmful issues that a similar app which operates on the chinese mainland sensors. at this point in the testimony we heard or rather harsh questioning of u. s. officials are where they pressed the seo of the tick tock corporation about why a similar censorship measure was not being used for content directed at the united states as was done with contact directed at the chinese mainland. now tick tock has
2:16 am
faced a wave of the allegations that it is somehow a mechanism for spreading chinese influence or spying on americans for the chinese government in 2020, at hired a u. s. citizen. as it's c e o, and the company has set up privacy protection centers, a transparency centers in both the united states and in europe in order to ensure the privacy and protection of its users in order to make clear that their data not being used for some nefarious purpose i, however, these answers have not been satisfactory to the u. s. government u. s. officials continue to hurl allegations against tick tock as we saw today's congressional hearings are. it's also worth noting that a 150000000 people use tick tock around the world, and that number continues to rise despite the heated allegations leveled from voices in the united states. however, a poll did indicate that 40 percent of americans would favor
2:17 am
a ban on tick tock. now there have been a number of us states that have passed a law for bidding tick tock from being used on government devices. we saw the scenes today in congress. the heated exchanges that went on so the controversy continues surrounding this social media app. legal media analysts line all believes all social media platforms are equally vulnerable to data breaches, including those based in the us. but tech talks just being picked on because it's chinese. and this c e o acquitted himself splendidly better than anything i and i as a lawyer, i'm watching the way he answered the questions very, very well. may i ask you a question? i wish he would have said, what madam congress, a person make me. i see your phone for a 2nd. do you mind if i see it? oh, you've got facebook. instagram,
2:18 am
twitter. you may have this in that. do you know where this data go collectively? do you know where the servers are? do you know how? no, you don't. there is, i don't want to say something, but there's a scrum as going on. rachel, there's a, there's this idea. we're tick tock is the embodiment of all eve. why is tick tock in this was? i think the gravamen of this whole story. why is it substantially and significantly more dangerous than any other application? why is it and there are 2 issues, content and the actual data capture. 2 completely different issues, concomitant issues, important issues, but separate. and i think it was blurred. i think ultimately the tick tock, seo, one ah, the u. s. has again slammed human rights in india, citing challenges to freedom of expression while praising the democratic values that bind washington and new delhi. let's cross live to our india correspondent
2:19 am
room during sharma for more details. good morning room during the latest u. s. for port criticizing indian democracy comes of days after washington and finally appointed its ambassador to india. the timing is quite interesting. it isn't 5, tell biden administrations in the us strategy also seems a bit confusing now and i say this because on one hand the u. s. slams india for of course, some, you know, the, a human rights violations that they call are in india. and then of course some a we see that on the other hand you will see that as a u. s. is very, very happy with this or did you partnership that new demi in washington have but also this appointment over at the man called eric garcia, t e to comes after 2 years,
2:20 am
2 long years. this in fact has been the longest gath bomb edward led india has no one had a u. s. envoy in new delhi. now interesting, lee is this a man before he got appointed say is that he wants to interfere in india's matter why his own no. yours and office have been marked by a series of scandal. but i intend to engage directly with civil society. there are groups that are actively fighting for the human rights of people on the ground in india that will get direct engagement from me. for me, these will not be after thoughts, my master's degrees and human rights international law. i've fought for human rights on 4 different continents. do we have your commitment that you will be a voice in regards to any discrimination against minority groups such as the muslim population within india? i would not only just bring it up, but it would not be something at the end as an obligation. it would be a core piece of what all the engaging my indian counterparts have confirmed with
2:21 am
so really india has no. i asked for anybody to interfere in its matters and especially not from a man who, who's on yours in the office, had been marked by o. c visa scandal. so he was up the mayor of los angeles. and at that, there have been a series of scandals up a force me we'll talk about the sexual harassment scandal. one of his vacant was eats, he was basically a key was go sexual harassment. our kids and eric garcia did basically said that he knew nothing about it, despite the fact that there was a lawsuit filed, but an investigation on the matter found things to be. otherwise. the prob, essentially said that it's very unlikely that a garcia, he did not know about this, this, and then another counsel member basically went to prison off for
2:22 am
a corruption charges. then another member basically was our charge we, dumb bribery and another, and another his own people in los angeles were not really happy with his leadership . we've seen several protests outside his residence and so on, so forth. so, so despite that, e, r, he was the u. s speaks for the top ambassador in india, and also in his own tenure was marked by these scandals. are he he sees that he wants to interfere with india all foreign diplomatic appointments dawned really make headlines with this one? did i because it clearly leads up a question mark on of the biden administration's choice off the u. s. diploma that they have appointed in india are to correspondent rooms and sharma. thank you. ah, russia's deputy foreign minister has confirmed that fox news host tucker carlson,
2:23 am
had made an official request for an interview with water mere putin something carlson claims us intelligence discovered by spying on him. young victor, i can confirm that this journalist may sent your request some time ago how system is designed so that this kind of request is automatically reported to the presidential administration where it's considered in terms of the messages. i wouldn't be surprised if the national security agency or the federal bureau of investigation is collecting data from your smartphone, bright now. tucker carlson claims the an essay tapped his phone messages in order to sabotage his attempt to interview vladimir putin in july 2021. the host says he contacted russia's deputy foreign minister, but later received a call from a store who knew confidential information about the proposed interview. where are you gonna do interview? put me, why wouldn't had it set up? i was working on it and the broken to my text messages didn't of an essay broken to
2:24 am
your signal because they admitted it really the u. s. ass all security agency dismiss tucker carlson's claims saying he has never been an intelligence target of the agency. however, one person accused of being a kremlin intermediary by the n, a se grey's own journalists, anya param pelt told us otherwise the legal for the and as they to spy on the communications of us citizens. and pretty much as a result of the sweeping, domestic spying powers that were ushered in as a result of president george w bush's war on terror. those national security regulations were slowly walked back to the point that us authorities could claim it was okay to spy on the communications of a u. s. citizen as long it was part of their overall effort to monitor the communications of foreign government officials. and so in this case,
2:25 am
it's possible that the an essay was monitoring the communications of russian deputy foreign minister. rog cause but the fact that an as an essay whistleblower came forward and told tucker that the u. s. government was actually planning on leaking his tax essentially unmasking his identity as a us citizen, a journalist who was in contact with rob cause in order to embarrass him and, and do this for political reasons. this shows the length to which these powers are getting abused. you as authorities are abusing these buying powers, they weren't actually interested in leaking this information because they believe that i or tucker, had in some way violated the law and had an inappropriate relationship with the russian government. they were c simply seeking to embarrass tucker carlson to discredit him by implying that he was communicating with
2:26 am
a russian or kremlin agent, me a u. s. citizen who has no formal relationship with the russian government or financially or otherwise my and all that i work for the gray zone is completely independent. we don't get money from states or even state funded organizations. and so they were using me in order to imply through innuendo that tucker was somehow speaking with russian agents in a way that was inappropriate. and then by extension, they were trying to de, legitimize any views that he takes regarding russia or the current war. and ukraine, and that's her up coming up. the west, paul's, that a marriage of convenience, but for russia and china, the relationship is strategic and a multiple or alternative to their so called rules based order. next on cross talk . thanks for tuning in, stay close. ah
