are removed, it was very impactful when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story didn't nothing too challenge it. validate with across the global financial system continues. as the largest german bank loses 20 percent of its value in less than a month to several years, price crash resulting in bailouts. reminiscence of 2008 divided administration blew up and all 3 pipelines to gain control over western europe, especially germany. well, that's at least is according to the investigative journalist seymour hersh pipeline, did that sure control full of gas with he was going to open up the pipeline and make it do its job, its transfer even gonna make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. on the u. s. vice president comalla horace is set to

visit africa on sunday. it concerns in washington of the growing russian and chinese presence on the company with moscow to the world you're watching out the international. my name is peter scott's here with the top stories at 2 pm, moscow time. thanks for joining us. for the risk of global banking crisis looms ever nearer as deutscher bank germany is biggest lender. busy lost 20 percent of its value since march. registering a drop in stock of 9 percent as recent trading closed, the rumblings in the market started after 3 major american bank stuff in crush. similar to that of 2008. the u. s. government was quit intervened bearing the banks and handing out significant sums of money to the financial sector. but that didn't stop the chain reaction already felt in europe where most major banks are losing stock. on my credit suisse, one of switzerland made

a major lenders has been bought by a competitor with the financial system going through turbulence. the u. s. president didn't seem faced. ok, i think we've done a pretty damn good job. peoples of savings are secure and even those beyond the $250000.00 of their t i. c is guarantee them an american taxpayer is not gonna have to pay a penny. the banks are in pretty good shape, i think is going to take a little while for things to just calm down, but i don't see anything on the horizon is about to explode. was jim and john lola . so it also says there is nothing to be concerned about. our correspondent che bose investigates. a senior politicians and economists tried to reassure increasingly nervous financial markets, global anxieties over recent bank failures rumble on the merger of 2 big swiss banks, u b. s and credit suisse has created a financial behemoth valued at over $1.00 trillion dollars in

a deal which threatens the squeaky clean image of the swiss banking sector device. i chantilly credited selfish of the extensive liquidity assistance provided the time needed to find a solution to safeguard financial stability. this solution had to be worked out under considerable time pressure order to be ready before the asian markets, open the streets aside, and in solvents of credit suisse would have had severe consequences for national international financial stability. and for this was economy in taking this risk, it would have been a responsible. this new super bank born out of a hastily arranged merger, now has a value that completely to war. the highly developed a $100000000000.00 swiss economy and has raised concerns about granting such immense power to a single financial institution lawyer. but i'm like, so mommy, so won't be an impact on me. but want to waste is really too bad that a bank with 170 years of history is going to vanish just like that. it hurts me as

a customer don't quickly or we will use our song. how do you think? i feel a lot of fragility in light of the current situation, unless with financial system now will only have a single big bank, u b. s. and that is not good. it's good to have competition. and we won't have that in warn you off some merger between her, her credit suisse and a u. b. s. a is a kinder off her hug. good marriage between 2 lame dogs, of course, ah, to situation with sir kit decrease. i was going badly, but can you be s, as now a longstanding is 3. 0, off bad records are in banking and i'm, i don't believe that it's east kind of marriage a clue. so, in the long term, the crises for ordinary workers and communities,

it essentially means that regardless of what your economy actually produces, b, the cars, energy medicines are high tech services and accounts for nothing. if a major bank fails, leaving ordinary citizens to face the catastrophic consequences of that failure, this leaves us to ask ourselves what the actual value of these vast financial institutions is to the societies they've so badly failed. while these institutions provide some payment and transaction services to their wealthy depositors and borrowers, the rest is essentially investment banking, which focuses exclusively on making money for guess who. that's right, the investment bank and it's shareholders who's disproportionate influence on the world's economy simply doesn't correspond with the services they provide. and if and when these giants who are seemingly too big to fail, need bailing out. it's the ordinary taxpayer that usually left to pick up the pieces just like they did in 2008 civilian fact that we had now this kind of huge

monopoly. we have to remember that both the u. b. s and decreased before the merger words are mos 2 important suites banks. as a citizen, we at now is a kind of concentration but not the concentration of good banks, but concentration all bad banks and leave. this kind of situation is not good quickly at dress, get ricky fixed by authority. b, z government b, z us sent a central bank. then we will go on for a long number off, recurrent fries, each. the widespread use of corporation tax to avoid far higher income tax rates now is reserved for ordinary workers. it's also now widely exploited by

institutional investors and their backers. this feeds into the bazaar reality that a global banking sector that should exist to serve economic activity has now grown to, to warf those very economies they are supposed to support as ordinary taxpayers faced the very real possibility of yet again picking up the tab for these huge profit mills, it's time to ask ourselves who's working for who and whether there's a better way to protect their societies from the devastating consequences they face when the bankers and their backers just keep getting it wrong, while enjoying a complete lack of accountability. moving on now, demarc has found an unknown object near where the north stream pipeline was damaged up to a massive bloss last september and it will invite the russian control operates through the pipeline to recover its for analysis. this comes as investigative journalist, seymour hersh explained what he believes stands behind the recent us prob, blaming a pro ukrainian group from the attack. they can watch the full version of his

interview on direct impacts throughout the day. you know, nazi, lays quit tisa. why the united states seems to have, and i use this word and you tell me if it's overused out, in this case, invented or planted this most recent story? why are they doing this? because they, the, the united states knows who did it. they know the president did it. you know, another way of asking this question that no reporter is asking to press conference . the, the let we blow the pipeline and pipe and biden's. okay. i can tell you one thing about the ca when it wants to do something down and dirty. they know how to keep it . they know how to keep it small that you know what i'm saying. yeah. the people who know very small and the president wasn't really getting briefed. the director was the final point. yeah. the guys in the and the less that the white house knows the better because it's a talkative whitehouse. difficulty of the emission and it was, by the way, what, what the intelligence community did. there was quite spectacular,

even though that they, they didn't like the end. but they were given assignment, come up with an option. if you want to blow up the pipelines, you have to do it in such a way that we can't be blamed. right? the war is by september when, when biden said, let's do it and gave the order. the war was certainly sold out. and we've put now $125120000000000.00 into that war. and western europe was being asked to give more and more. and the concern was, they could see in western europe. and in germany, what we want being told too much at this war was going nowhere so, so they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing, there happened everybody was no, we weren't exactly right about that. so the idea was the weight, but why he picked 3 months and 3 and a half months. the wait was the question, i wonder why did he suddenly do it in late september?

because to get back to the point, the war wasn't going well as he was afraid that europe was going to begin to walk away, particularly the germans, germans, after world war 2 are not interested in the big military, but winter is coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make us do his job as chancellor even and make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. western europe, as it had re, gas and oil. we've always had western europe's back. ah, yes. we, we don't know us present. joe biden is in the middle of a long awaited visit to neighboring canada, where he jumps at the chance to take a job at the perceived threats posed by both countries by china. canada and 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 coersion, non market policies and practices, and human rights abuses. and that's all locals and also are happy to host joe biden

as a group of protesters took to the street to call for coming to leave nato. bol criticizing what they called imperialist u. s. foreign policy. we spoke to canadian journalists not to this eve angler who says, it's also what is ready to sacrifice his economic interests, the sake of supporting the u. s. narrative. china is the most populous nation on earth and as a 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 dominate power and recent decades and wants to continue that and it sees china's economic rise and growing diplomatic and other influence as a threat to extermination. unfortunately, creating government 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 don't, i think it's actually quite contrary to the interests of even canadian, much of canadian business, but the intelligence apparatus and needed military and their arms producers very much see containing china as serving via the u. s. empires interests the us presidents also touched upon alliance building, pointing to the extension of nathan, on the 7th phase of influence. significantly extended our alliances. i haven't seen that happen with china and, or russian, or anybody else in the world. we're in a situation united states. we're nato,

a stronger role together. the g 7 a quad, the asi on japan and korea. i have a my staff point out to me. i have now met with 80 percent of the world leaders. just as a president, were the ones expanding eliasis opposition? not name for me. were that cohen by biden's comments on the growth of a western lead alliance state to does show that breaks countries represents over 3000000000 people, compared with around 8000000 in the g 7, the lines and competence developing economies, including russia, china, india, brazil, in south africa, with economic growth reaching more than 6 percent, we spoke with former secretary of the foreign indian foreign ministry. rajiv secret . he says that new delhi isn't an ally of washington. india is not a part of any alliance. i don't know why friends going barton mentioned india. because india has always been firmly opposed to alliances. we were

a leader of the non line will learn. that was a reflection of our strategic on the me. and today also, we are big partner united states. we have close relations with the united states in many fields, but we are not allowed to india. trade relations with russia have greatly improved in the last year. we are buying more energy, oil and gas and other materials from russia. india has never favored sanctions outside the united nations. we don't think that countries sure. julie laterally impose sanctions and then insist that the other countries around the world should follow them. that's a matter of principle. as far as india is concerned, us vice presidents come, harris starts a week long trip to africa this weekend where she's due to meet with the leaders of gonna sons in the and number. and it's the 2nd high level visit to the constance by

us officially. recent months and come to washington seeks to rival the rising influence of russia and china adults. he's trouble, a toddler explains as will be carmella harris's 1st visit to the african continent . but no one seems certain what the objectives behind this 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 u. s. is at least tentative position with regards to its former influence on the continent following avoid of some 2 decades in which is 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 informing this visit. the troops strengthened the united states partnerships without african and advance. so share efforts and security and 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 is 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 a china as, as a villain, blaming and behind african 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, and i'd be where it is. and we heard when genet jaelyn the us treasury secretary when she came around earlier 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 diplomatic 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 or former nigerian presidential aspirants adamo gobber, says that washington isn't looking for any sort of mutually beneficial corporation with africans. is all about just touching our associates. and i'm, as you look at even the going to the choose in is south and western africa. mazel, this countries are the quantities where the untwist sentiment is very, very high. tanzania will look the way just to do with our chinese dept. and if you call back to gonna most of their sufferings on the challenges they're facing regarding the inflationary guardianship. chrysler by the fuel prices and rising cost of living is clearly blamed on the i am a dept which is also was formed by the u. s. if you go back to them the near the

same problem. so i don't know what she's coming to get because to the best of my knowledge, africa has moved forward. but beyond what did you are to thinking? i think i used to be. and africa knew why their friends, china has been very supportive in terms of building infrastructure i given didn't necessarily when, when diplomatic approach that benefit what african china. and if you look at what happened from russia recently brought him to putting to prison of russia. clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of dep live law for countries. this is from do not africans are celebrity. so i don't know what to do as a trying to come and do, but to the best of my knowledge, i don't think visual aspect any very strong positive outcome from dot mit in. it just p only one sided and didn't buy their own self interest. even ident, out of africa, so that is not but much you've done is a one sided relationship. alicia, but only when it benefit them is when they're what, when, when it doesn't benefit them, didn't go. we did russia on the us have verbally clashed at the

latest un security council meeting, where moscow accused the world's chemical weapons watch talk. a fancy objectively investigates various allegations of chemical weapons use. we have seen how in the recent years, almost any mention of the o, p. c. w has been politicized in an ante, russian and anti sirian fashion. the traditional resolution of the un general assembly on the implementation of the chemical weapons convention has acquired a distinctly propagandist character, years political counselor john kelly, also talked to the floor. the un accused moscow of waging a disinformation campaign over chemical weapons. the american official also blame the syrian government for talking to its own civilians. the o. p. c. w indicates a damascus in the killing of 43 people in a chemical incidence in the city of duma in 2018 with severe cold rebel attack. second, executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity. daniel

mcadams. well, he says the u. s. is one, is the one that's putting this information to both of us to follow the duma, a parent or suppose that chemical attacks know that the final report was written with errors. it was plenty wrong with it. the very, very seasoned investigators were concerned about the final product that were whistleblower saying the investigation does wasn't done right. all of these things lead to a very, very tainted report. you know, there have been great investigative journals like aramark pay that have looked at it. so there are a huge questions, but for political reasons, the u. s. and the u. k. having already bomb 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 exhausted all the pressure they did on the o. p. c, w, and really compromise the integrity of the organization. well, 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 partners. i think the statement was a pretty low level look like something written out of hillary clinton's office using the russians of deception. just information, you know, the same, the basically the same things that they've always been doing that somalia continues to suffer from catastrophic hunger drugs and conflicts. the e u has cut funding to the country due to rising interest on the diverting over large amounts of the financing to ukraine. we heard from some local people who have been affected by the development the d u, which used to help somali a lot now spends billions on ukraine support their war with russia. it is mind boggling for the you to spend that much money in ukraine supporting a war that when somalia risks facing starvation, it is so surprising to see d u,

which is so passionate about protecting human rights. now ignoring somalia, where people are dying of hunger, western imperialist countries only support each other. they don't care about africa or somalia, as you can now see, all western countries including the u. n have all abandoned us and are now fervently supporting the ukraine, which is more developed in somalia. western countries have cited with ukraine against russia, but i believe these countries have an interest in ukraine now, hence their support because these countries only think of their national interest or traditional donors. the western countries are heavily funding new grain, which is far, much developed in us, and yet they still pump a lot of money into it. but needy countries, like so malia are being ignored, and western countries have now diverted the support they used to extend to. so malia great was overcome the current crisis in the region. the african union is requesting nearly $90000000.00 for somalis peacekeeping force for buckling. i'll tell you to link our shop, bob extremist. there are concerns. the african union force will not be able to operate properly due to a gap in funding because by the use change of priorities,

it's also puts into question the future of operation atlanta of the coast of somalia in the horn of africa, which allegedly sold to protect international shipping read in the region from piracy. since the start of the war, the european union has been actually supporting ukraine, leaving other countries in need of aid in the shadow of kias repeated request for more funding. last year you donated says 5000000000 euros. the military humanitarian on the financial aid to kiev small received only 201000000 euros, which has put the use priorities in question. we spoke to political and security analyst, ahmed, there are seeds who says that is important to provide aid somalia of it's been suffering for the past 3 decades. thing. there is a double standard, you know, when it comes to ukraine or funding other countries who are in the, if not in, you know, worse condition. it's more important to help samaya that has been in trouble for the past for the past 3 decades. whereas ukraine,

the amount of money that the west and east has given them is extraordinary. the gulf of aidan is a very strategic walked away a shipping way. there's approximately 33000 vessels that go through that particular area. and so it's very, very important for global shipping and title oil especially proposing will to, to have access to you. it was definitely european interests that caused them to go into that area in the 1st place. so molly is in dire need of help. they are in dire need of how people are helping ukraine in the conflict. i think people should help somalia in our conflict against social which is in going on for 2 decades. you so i think europe in on you have responsibility in that aspect. the west are solely focused on ukraine. i think this should wake up and look for new partners across the water. washington is set to appoint a special envoy in belarus, to support opposition leaders in the country that's according to the u. s. secretary of state. can you talk about what you're thinking with respect to

a special envoy for bell roofs and when, when might we see that appointment happen? no. thank you very much center for raising that. and yes, a to think, as you know, they in day out we have the vilnius based of with when he a base beatrice affairs unit, this are embedded in, in our embassy and they're doing the day and day out contact. because so much as you know, the democratic opposition is in is in lithuania, but at your point i were very actively looking at moving forward the special envoy . what i'm considering right now looking at is dual, having a very senior official in our european affairs bureau to also service the envoy to be able to then go in and out engage senior levels with the, with the opposition, even as the dealers affairs unit. that's based in lithuania, does the kind of day and day out. engagement or washington openly support the political opposition in belarus. it's sill accuses russia of meddling in u. s. internal affairs from accusing the former president donald trump 2 of siding

with the cremeans who manipulate elections, typing up hysteria in must media over. his alleged ties with the russian president vladimir putin. probe involves the media companies acceptance of $8000000.00 from a source with suspected russian tie. it's about how our former president consistently sent signals that he was not on ukraine side. he was on hooton's, russia state media backed the republican candidate, donald trump, a man known for his affinity towards russia. according to earl rasmussen, retired us left tenant colonel washington's funds velario science and other attempts of foreign medlynn. something us itself would never tolerate. we would go absolutely great. we would probably sanction who knows, who knows who we probably would have joe biden on the phone with somebody or were in the blink and it would not be, it is not accept, it would not be acceptable. united pointing a formal representative to,

to interface and, and work with the opposition. i mean, it's clearly clearly, you know, it looks like they're going to, once again go down the central regime change. so it just does the indicator of the arrogance within our foreign policy. and kind of like, almost like we feel that we're the rulers of the world and we can do as we way. so i think that will, it is just another symbolism, i think that will further alienate other countries and make the very, very cautious on dealing with you i was about for now. my name is peter scotts, i'll be back again the top of the hour with all the latest news views and analysis . right, to see i hope to see you then the

. 2 i. 2 2 it's not uncommon for different governmental elements to work against each other. bureaucratic fights are common to every government, but what happens when one governmental entities. so mission is to stop the flow of drugs. while a competing agency is one of the major facilitators of drugs. the result is chaos ah, welcome to the whistleblowers, i'm john kerry. aku one of my favorite television shows is called marco's, which has appeared for several years on the netflix streaming service. one of the things that's clear in that series, and it's based on true events, is that just as the drug enforcement administration or d e a is on the verge of successfully completing an operation to disrupt a major drug transaction, or to arrest a major drug kingpin the operation goes bad,

the bad guy gets away, and a senior cia officer pops up in the scene. i know from my experience of 15 years and to see that the scenario was completely true and accurate. the d. e. a mission is to stop the flow of drugs into the united states and to prosecute those people who are responsible. the c a's mission is essentially to do whatever at once with little or no oversight. the ca. busy has long been obsessed with communism and beyond that, with terrorism. if drug came pins are willing to identify communist and alleged terrorists, then the cia is willing to cast a slot with drug king pins. and the d. e a is supposed to just sit there and take it. we're going to talk about this relationship with our next guest. michael levine has been described in the u. s. media as america's top undercover cop for 25 years . a career veteran of the drug enforcement administration. he's a respected off.
