i don't watch my show stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way with russian go to reunited with their relatives. back home, often agreement is reached with care for that return. that's also that parents were arrested in new credit with people in uniforms ran into a apartment. the light switch turned off because somebody fell on the switch. they started to twist my dad's arms. we saw people laying on the floor with their hands behind their heads. us vice president's carmella assistant to visit africa later this week. i'm in washington. is that the continent miss drifted towards russia and china to most civilians are wounded by internationally prohibited

mines. listed across dom boss by the ukranian military. bringing the total number of casualties from the bond explosives to more than a 100, including 3 debt these kind of minds and personnel mines have scattered throughout the city. all done that and right now their hard live visible on the ground with a very well welcome to you. this is auntie international. with the latest world news update, it's great to have you with us o d s, on fact 20 unsupported information. that's the evaluation from russia's foreign ministry in response to the findings of the un banked probe. they claimed moscow's actions in ukraine, including the alleged, the for taishan, of children, could amount to war crimes since the investigation of the criminal actions of chemo regime, which unleashed a war against the people of the don bass in 2014, was not

a part of the commissioner's mandate, anti russian and political bias was programmed from the beginning. reports prepared by the commission contain odious factually, unsupported information collected using the method. there is a reason to believe our position remains firm, all conclusions and results of the so called investigation of the discredited commission are void to us. meanwhile, 2 ukrainian children have been returned to their home with the aid of russia's human rights on goodman. they were identified off to record requests from kias boundary united with their mother in the russian city of the scope. and another such incidents ukraine agreed to return to russian girls who had been stuck in a desk or off. their parents were arrested there. after travelling through moldova and all media, and now finally back home in russia and their aunt's care rushes human rights, ombudsman commented on the muscle thought wasn't with them which was it was hard

because some specific conditions were present. it, but good will and compassion are always present and that's the main thing that can help resolve such issues. both girls were born in the russian city of michigan, north girls in 2019 moving to odessa with their parents. that on to on the eldest sister, she had what they went. but i will call again jane lynch. it was a normal day. nothing out of the ordinary. our parents, france came to us in the evening. we played as always, there was also a man who turned out to be the one who betrayed us. when he was living people in uniforms ran into a apartment. the light switch turned off because somebody fell on the switch. they started to twist my dad's arms with so people laying on the floor with their hands behind their heads. then with a lead to the other room where was said for 2 hours with a woman asking us questions such as what bus brazil your parents have. i responded, i don't know. it was very scary then our mother was allowed to see us for a couple of minutes before being separated again. doubtless is labella. i think

there was always hope. i understood it would be hot, but it was even had to manually. 6 understand that our girls with their, with somebody, we didn't know there was a risk that they would end up in an orphanage and i didn't know how much timing would take to find them. at 1st, they were supposed to be returned before january the 30. but ukraine kept create an obstacles with the returns, aiden move and further away it all ended positively, though. with a 1000000 earlier russia dismiss claims that has been illegally deporting children from eastern ukraine as moscow points to the need to evacuate minors away from military combat zones. that importation allegations leveled against moscow by the international criminal court were previously voiced by key if the icy seas jurisdiction is not recognized by countries including russia, china, india, and the u. s. rushes children's rights commissioner posted a sarcastic response to the hague, issuing of arrest warrants for her. and president putin on alleged war crimes

charges. it's great that the international community appreciates the work to help the children of our country. the fact that we don't leave them in war zones that we evacuate them, create good conditions for them. surround them with loving and caring people. human arms, labor life attorney don kovachick believes the accusations in attacking russia rather than protecting children. the key of government. since 2014 has been attacking their own people are nic russians in the dom bass area including children. and now that russia is trying to protect those children, and they're the ones being accused of wrongful doing, manages ridiculous. honestly, they're going to attack russia, whatever they do. i mean, i think, you know, in the end, that's why russia began its special operation in february they, they realized they were going to be vilified in attack. no matter what they, so they miles will defend themselves. in the same is true with these children,

you know, they're going to be vilified. if they leave the children there and the children are killed or if they take them. so you know, so in the end they did the right thing, i think. and again, they're going to be attacked either way. there was an operation, peter pan after the cuban revolution in which the us will need 14000 shells from their families in cuba, gave them to families in the u. s. there were air lives like that after the vietnam war, where the u. s. took $3000.00 vietnamese children, gave them to american families. the court has a recent case of trump who took children forcibly from latin american immigrants, but the u. s. is never investigated for crimes, even though there war crimes are substantial and now to be done. yes. we're public where 2 more civilians who have been wounded by bands petal, anti pass, no line scattered across residential areas by the ukrainian military. at least 3

low cost of already been killed in don't boss and more than $100.00 wounded by the internationally prohibitive explosives. i'll say wrong cause i spoke with the latest victims. 2 more civilians were wounded here in john esque. both of them stepped on a so called that'll mind they're also known as anti personnel mines and they're prohibited. now ukraine, they've been throwing these minds around and residential areas here in the nest for over a year. and now the spring time has come. many of these little mines are surfacing on the ground and they're not visible to the naked eye. and as a result, people get hurt almost on a daily basis. right now. i will speak to the latest victims. how these special mines. yeah. what. what could you live? it's from michael. i went tell, talk the talk in the morning. we always take the same route and i didn't even

notice mine. there was ice on the road and in order not to sleep high, i took a step around and instantly had an explosion. i screamed loudly and some young guys ran up. one took off his bow, t as it is torn a cake, called an ambulance and brought me here in 35 minutes. thanks to the doctors and a quick action of those man. i stay like because they hear the sounds of missiles and h as i have lived here. i have replaced the glass in my windows full times. we don't have any melcher units here. all we have is a small village where 60 or so buildings. that's all i will be discharged soon and i want to give a huge thank you. all the doctors will know. sure. i remember everything i drove to burrows of i a street got out of the current suddenly heard a piercing bang. oh, i didn't immediately understand what it was. then all i knew was that it was lying on the ground. i looked at my left leg, the foot was hanging off. i got up on to my other leg and hopped 10 meters to my car. yacoma. there were young people standing around,

i asked them for help by the way, a huge thank you to them because they immediately responded and called for help at that there soon after an ambulance arrived, it took me to the hospital. i was immediately taken care of and told about the com sequences, so i would lose my leg a fate. i've already accepted these. that's all minds may look like children's toys . they can be of 2 different colors, green and brown. now these kind of minds, anti personnel mines, are scattered throughout the city all for jeannette scans. right now they're hardly visible on the ground. and we hear about victims of these mines on a daily basis. let me show you what they look like on the ground. thousands of these prohibited anti personnel mines have been scattered by ukraine around the nasdaq and the rest of the dentist republic. now they are not visible at all, and they're usually in residential areas here. when a person walks with their dog or just going on a walk with their families,

they have no idea what's on the ground. and once they step on this mine, the person is either killed or maimed for life. room on call, sir. if archie don't ask republic us, vice president, pamela harris is leaving for a week long trip to africa on saturday. she's due to meet with the ladies, have gone at tanzania and zambia. the highest level visits to the constant by a u. s. official in years and it comes as washington seeks to rival the rising influence of russia and china, as ortiz corroborated, lacks names. this will be carmella harris's 1st visit to the african continent, but no one seems certain what the objectives behind as visit is. as use intimated, she will be in garner tanzania as well as zambia. but one thing is for sure we know about the. busy uses at least tentative position with regards to it's

a former influence on the continent following a void of some 2 decades in which is a seen china moving in and the growing influence of for russia. and this seems to be very much a guiding of as vivid as the u. s. actively tries to wage a gap between it's between africa as well as russia and china. and this seems to be a part of the motif if you will, that is. busy informing this visit, the troops strengthened the united states partnerships without african and advance so share effort and security in economic prosperity through all the trip in partnership with african governments and private sector. the vice president will advance efforts to expand access to the digital economy, support climate adaptation and resilience, and strengthen business ties. investment include in through innovation, entrepreneurship and the economic empowerment of women. there's no doubt that the u

. s. is looking squarely added geopolitical adversaries if you will, as it looks into the growing influence of china and that of russia on the continent . and it is trying very hard to make sure that it comes out on top is already identified. ah, china as, as a villain, blaming it behind africa's debt problem. seeing that if it wasn't for china handing out money and, and seriously, and entering numerous african countries and dragging its feet when it comes to re negotiating. the said that, that african i'd be where it is and we heard when germans jaelyn the us treasury secretary, when she came around to the of this year, she penned the current food crisis on, on russia, following the conflict. ready ukraine and

a journalist asked her specifically if the u. s. is in a tug of war for the continent in order to win the influence here on african grass. fine for influence, just isn't the focus of my visit at all. i know it's a completely natural question. it is not at all what i am focused on. our interest is in partnering with africa. this is not a competition with china, and it seems that africa will be a stage for many more months to come. if not years, that the superpowers will be locked in some sort of diplomat tig war here as it tries to win favor and friends. but the u. s. has a lot of catching up to do, and they may be joining this fight already. a beck, africa affairs and analysis lorenz freeman says u. s. officials, a scrambling to make an impact in africa made washington's waning influence on the continent. it's a well known secret in washington that the whole purpose of this

a fed so i think is really in the 1st 3 months of this year, also as a result of united states being panicked over its loss of funds in africa. this is evident in the momentum that china has 20 years in funding infrastructure projects and creating expansion wealth on the continent. and also in this, in the road by the african nations. the majority of which did not go along with the united states and every russia issuing sanctions. the united states is saying, well, we're going to give you democracy. we're going to give you good coverage. we're going to give me my rights and, but we're not gonna give you economic development. and this is what african me, i've been on the continent 25 more times. everywhere i go, we need to eliminate poverty and hunger. and that means infrastructure and economic development. and united states government says, well,

we'll try to link you up with the private sector. so this not gonna work. united states is trying to export democracy to maintain control in their international based order of rush, the african documents say no. with united states, it's not offered anything tangible there will improve the living standards of africans. and that's the most important thing. russia on the us have verbally class to the latest, the un security council meeting when moscow criticized the world's chemical weapons watchdog for failing to objectively investigate various allegations of chemical weapons use. we have seen how in the recent years, almost any mention of the p. c. w has been politicized, and an anti russian and anti syria and fashion. the traditional resolution of the un general assembly on the implementation of the chemical weapons convention has acquired a distinctly propagandist character,

the russian faith and came off the us, political councilor, john kelly took the flow of the land keys. moscow of waging a disinformation campaign of a chemical weapons. the american official also plays the syrian governmental chemical attacks on its own civilians. back in 2018 the p. c. w st. moscow for the death of 43 people in an incident. city of this discuss this morning now with the executive director of the wrong, paul institute for peace and prosperity, daniel mcadams. honey, thanks for joining us on our program. it's very nice. see, i'd like to know what's your take on the latest russian criticism of the p c. w. well, i think there's something very valid to it. you know, those of us that followed the duma a parent or suppose that chemical attacks know that the final report was world with errors. there was plenty wrong with that. the very, very seasoned investigators were concerned about the final product. there were

whistleblowers saying the investigation does wasn't done, right. all of these things lead to a very, very painted report. you know, there have been great investigative journals like aramark pay that have looked at it. so there are huge questions, but for political reasons, the u. s. and the u. k. having already bombed syria because of the so called attack, they needed to have a report that came to the conclusions that they wanted. and that's why they exerted all the pressure they did on the o. p c, w, and really compromise the integrity of the organization and doesn't look to you like russia concerns about the p. c. w. a being taken seriously at the un. while i read the statement of john kelly, i'm not sure who he is. he's probably just a regular state department bureaucrat diplomat. it really seemed like an exercise in projection basically everything that he was accusing the russians of doing with regard to the p. c. w was very blatantly done by the us and the partners

specifically around the duma attack. he references without mentioning the name, the so called scriptural poisoning, what was ever happened to them that's about. so i think the statement was a pretty low level look like something written out of. so hillary clinton's office using the russians of deception, just information, you know, the same. they basically the same things that they've always been doing. and what are your thoughts on the timing of this verbal spots between russia and the us over chemical weapons? no, i think that's the critical part. i think that's the real issue we're talking about here. we're seeing damascus making a tremendous approach month with its neighbors. this is unprecedented in the past. it least 10 years. we have the possibility of a sod making trips to places like saudi arabia, to having high level contacts with turkey. these were, these were serious enemies just 10 years ago at the instigation of the united

states, which wanted to overthrow syria and iran in the name of arab spring or some other laid up nonsense. the reason this is happening to us is losing influence in the middle east. not only because it's syria, but because of china's huge success in mediating iran in saudi arabia's long hill differences. these are big, this is a big deal. and this shows that the u. s. actions in the middle east use a presence in the middle east. it's one of sanctioning and bombing. we just saw another bombing attack on syria because our illegal occupational part of that country was disrupted. we're seeing really the end. i think the waning of us influence in the middle east and it's a non intervention. and i think that's a very good thing for the united states. and according to the us, russia and syria are using propagandist methods on the chemical weapons issue. do you think that washington should be the one talking whether the masters,

they should know, you know, when the duma report came out literally, every mainstream western media was in lock step. nobody bothered to look into the whistleblowers. nobody bothered look at to look into the fact that the evidence was given by the white helmets, which are in the tories, the biased in favor of the us back terrorist groups. nobody bothered to do that in the mainstream media. so the us government has the mainstream media, it's back pocket and it uses that, it continues to use that it's doing is using it for the nord stream bombings, and so on and so on. this is modus operandi. so what is your assessment of the apc to work so far into what extent can the international organization really be considered impartial? well, the world has changed a lot since 2018, even in this, these 5 or so years. you know, i don't think russia is as dependent on organizations like this. no, i don't think syria is as dependent on what the o p. c. w says no, i think it's unfortunate the politicization of the un. it's unfortunate because the

un froze fault does facilitate a dialogue between countries and as we see through the use of sanctions to the use of i. c. c. arrest warrants. there is this attempt to make dialogue impossible. that is where war comes in. when you no longer talk to people, so i think it's very, very unfortunate, but it also makes the i p c, w look more and more irrelevant as i'm sure you know, they're being caused to kick russia out of the un security council. which country do you think could be interested in seeing that happen and why? well, the us, the u. k. germany, you know, all of our, of our so called allies in nato would love to have that happen. but the thing is, be careful what you wish for, because that's the case. there will be no un security council, i think for former presidents may magenta have said something today about this. what would happen to the un if it continues to be used and abused by western powers

to, to, to criticize russia. i think it just cease to exist, which again is a very dangerous thing. you have to have these dialogues, but they must proceed from respect despite differences. and unfortunately in american diplomacy, you don't see that many thanks for joining us on the prize. and we really appreciate your time and your insight executive director of the wrong paul institute for peace and prosperity. tony mcadams, thank washington is stepping up its efforts to counter china. the taiwan declaring it will ignore paging warnings that supplying weapons to the island is a red line. according to us state secretary antony blanket in response to a grilling by american sentences. the p. r c is said to you or to anybody that works the state department, any of our diplomats that there is some sort of red line involved with stepping up our foreign military and no one to the extent that ever tried to anything like like that, that's not something that we would obviously take into account washington has brushed

off paging red line us officials of long tried to draw such lines of to provide lethal support to the russians and their brutal attack against ukraine that that is unacceptable. again, that would be a red line. what i want to do with him when we talk is lay out what, what kind of what each of our red lines are. a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around for being utilized. ortho journalist and activist thomas foggy says the u. s. approach is obsolete in washington for germany as being confronted my major power just shows how delusional the u. s has become the u. s. seems to think that it still lives in the a well of the ninety's says world war 2, the u. s. has pretty much been running the world as you would a mafia style racket, you know, resorting to exactly the same techniques that matthew results to control. a city

extortion, bullying, blackmail violence. what it hasn't realized is that that world has changed to now what used to be fed very powerful kingpin that controlled the entire city has now turned into an old, slightly seen our man that doesn't control much of the city. i eat much of the wild anymore, in fact, controls only a few small neighborhoods in that city. namely, you know what the so called collective west that because now you have countries that have stood up that are standing up against u. s. power. i'm no, i will knows that the so called rules based order was always a u. s. or west based order that's clear to everyone now. and so, you know, it is, i did that us still things that it can make the rules that can make everyone else abide by those rules as it has done for a very long time. just shows that the u. s. leadership at least, is completely out of touch with reality. you as president joe

biden is in the middle of a long awaited visit to neighboring canada, where he's at jump from a chance to take a job at the perceived threat posed to both north american countries. i, china, canada, in the united states, acknowledge the serious, long term challenge to the international order posed by the people's republic of china, including disruptive actions such as economic coercion, non market policies and practices, and human rights abuses. not all local, thin, also happy to host joe biden as a group of protests as have taken to the streets, the curve or candidates who leave mesa, or criticizing what they call imperialist u. s. foreign policy. as good life now to eve angle, a canadian journalist and activists. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's great to see you now as biden's kind of the trip was long delayed. he, unlike his predecessors, visited more than 20 nations before they having to walk through. so what do you

think that took him so long and why is he there now? i'm guessing it's mostly just scheduling questions that lead to taking a long time. i think he's here to press the canadian government to get more engaged in challenging china, pushing for increased canadian military spending, pushing for canada to play a bigger role in the us, lead domination of haiti. and also, of course, providing candidate to, to join the nato proxy war in ukraine, produced china, of course, is on the other side of the planet from north america while by an intruder now calling aging a major threat. well, because china, china is the most populous nation on earth and of the country that has done well economically over the past couple of decades is increasingly challenging us

power in, in, in asia. and the u. s. has been the single dominated power and recent decades. and wants to continue that and it sees china's economic rise and growing diplomatic and, and other influence as a threat to its domination. and they have been pres, pressing the clean government to get aggressive on china. and for the most part, the canadian government has gone along with it. there's more and more canadian naval vessels patrolling in the south trying to see canadian spy plane patrolling next to chinese aerospace. and unfortunately, the canadian government is, is joining this increasingly belligerent policy that has us setting a basis in, or bases in the philippines. more forces in japan, south korea,

to basically try to taiwan, to try to contain china. and i think it's actually quite contrary to the interests of the, even canadian, much of canadian business, but the intelligence apparatus and became a military. and the arms producer is very much c containing china as, as serving the, the u. s. empires interests, as you say, both american leaders have given much attention to this confrontation with china and russia, as well as the joint activities outside of their own countries. to what extent do they seem ready and prepared to focus on much needed issues on the home front? ah, well, be, i mean the canadian gum, and i just wrote a piece about getting gum and not taking security threats. seriously, they're spending all kinds of money on militarism expanding canadian special horses

. but the climate crisis. 20 months ago, canada had 300 stays on record and then a town, little b. c was literally wiped off the map. that's a because of increasing gas emissions. human induced climate change. that to me is the primary security threat. if you look around in many of the big cities, i'm here in montreal, i was just in toronto and vancouver no longer victoria, huge problems with homelessness, right? huge problems of homelessness. but we are spending a $100000000000.00 on purchasing f, $35.00 fighter jets and these news surface combat naval vessels. we're talking about over $300000000000.00 over the life cycle. there are real security threats starting with the climate crisis. questions of homelessness, help big problems in health care, but they're the,

the people who rule in washington certainly and to a large extent in ottawa, they see dominating the world is more important than and focusing on making sure that everyone has as a whole what's been in full content when it comes to joining us military interventions and other countries well get it. as part of was a founding member of nato. busy with britain and the u. s. the, the 3 countries are the ones who began the alliance candidate part of neuron with the us, canada, as part of the 5 eyes intelligence apparatus with the u. s. canadian military is completely integrated with the u. s. military, the canadian arms industry is basically branch plant of us armed companies. can a companies benefit from pentagon spending their special provision that allows canadian arms companies to sell the pentagon as if they are in fact american company? so canada has been deeply integrate.
