change and whatever you do, don't watch my show stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think . a lot of my peers in st. russia well deployed nuclear weapons in neighboring valid coding. it's a civil in the us does with some of the nato allies, researcher who will not hand over the weapons to bellows, just as the u. s. doesn't to its allies, and we are simply doing what they have been doing for decades to find that have been a situation blew up the north stream pipeline to rain in western europe, which when light on cheek questions, gath latest claim from renowned investigative journalist seymour pipeline. that shows control full of gas and windows coming up. now he was gonna

open up the pipeline and make it to do its job, its transfer even gonna make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give me that option. us vice president's cabinet howard heads to africa and that concerns in washington over the growing russian and chinese influence in the conference with a very welcome based on the international with the latest world news update is very good to have you with as this our, our top story, russia will station it's tactical, nuclear weapons, and neighboring beller road in response to the deployments of american nukes in europe. that's what president vladimir putin has said in his latest interview to the russian media. with us me say, solution pref, present, look, asenjoe is right. when he says, the bellows is our closest ally. as americans place their tactical nuclear weapons

on their elyse territory and train crews and piles. to use them if necessary. we have decided to do the same without violation. i want to stress that we continue to meet our obligations in terms of non proliferation of nuclear weapons. we have already assisted our bell russian colleagues to re equipped their planes. 10 planes are prepared to utilize such weapons from we have already sent are well known and efficient iskander systems that can also carry such weapons. beginning on the 3rd of april, we will start to train crews and on the 1st of july, but we'll finish the construction of a storage facility, specifically for tactical nuclear weapons on beller russian territory. we will not hand over the weapons to bellows just as the u. s doesn't, to its allies, we're simply doing what they have been doing for decades. usually. it's interesting to mentioned that he didn't actually suggest that the deployment of weapons was the transfer of control of nuclear weapons. it was essentially that they're going to be based in belarus,

but not under the control of the bell. russian forces that russia would remain in control of them as was this is not a new development that we've heard before that russia is going to increase its cooperation of bellows at a station and train the dilution forces on the counter ballistic missile systems are also in aircraft inter cable to delivering those systems. they've been training the bell ocean military, but it's interesting timing, given the western announcement from the british ministry defense that they're going to deploy depleted uranium shelves at ukraine. so i think the, the timing of this announcement is definitely interesting. let's say he referred to the pro s of the russian military, that russian military has yet to deploy at the main force of its powers into ukraine. and that the russian economy is gearing up to a re, a war economy on the production of shells and other arguments. so it was really about that sort of re, a formation that russia, you know, still has a lot to commit to ukraine if necessary. and that, you know, this escalation isn't particularly an escalation, this was on the books quite

a while and that the weapons that are deployed would remain on the control of moscow. and other topic that came up was the noise stream at pipeline. while main. yeah. what did the, what it pity, not santa will, he reaffirmed russia's position that this attack was, was basically carried out by the united states. he referred again to seymour hersh is sort of landmark investigation piece, where he aligned very clearly the mechanism by which this attack was carried out. he mentioned the us special forces as well, which was, which was quite interesting. he also referred to gas prom recovering a piece of equipment or a device from the pipeline. and that they had mentioned this to the danish government. and the danish government had basically approached this off as an irrelevance which is very interesting. also. he also reaffirm that russia would tell the truth about what's happened with the north, the stream pipeline, and that they would, they would push as hard as they could to become involved in the relevant

investigations. and here's a little more about what he actually had to say, and he can schedule and lili's co world renowned us journalists conducted an in depth investigation and has concluded that the pipeline glass were organized by us special forces. i fully concur with his findings, the recent events evolving gas prompts inquiry upon receiving permission from danesh authorities. investigators from the company went further along the pipe and approximately 30 kilometers from the site of the bloss. came upon a place where chiefs intersected, which is the most vulnerable part. the explosion happened on the same conjunction, 30 kilometers down the pipe, and they discovered some sort of device. it was photographed and shown to our specialists. they believe it could have been an antenna receiving signals from either air or space to set up an explosive device. earlier this week we had the highly anticipated meeting between china, c, jim ping and therapy in in moscow. so did he have anything say about that? yeah, he said that the west had attempted to derail these said, you know,

headline talks, this was the only game in town. really geopolitically and all eyes were on moscow for this real. it very important meeting. but at the west to try to, to rail via the meeting and distract from it by sending announcements of at more weapons into ukraine. he mentioned, i suppose you for, it was warm relationship with she's in pe. he talked about them sitting for a period beside the fire and just chatting about politics and, and what's going on in the world. and, you know, judging from their body language between the 2 man that calling to says, dear friend, etc. and i saw that myself. it seems to be that there's a genuine warm relationship there which they've cultivated on the sidelines of the actual business meetings. he called present. she a very smart, well informed and interesting interlocutor as well, which i think was, was, was quite pleasant for the pentagon security policy, alice montgomery, let's say russia is simply trying to bring parity to the proxy conflict with the west of ukraine. i think just the deployment response is in

a response in kind to appeals by, by putting repeatedly to de escalate. and all he's doing is bringing parity some semblance of parity and indivisibility. if you will, because under the visibility which was heavily violated by the west, you don't arm the, the west at the expense of the east, but they, they've done that. so i'm in visiting that, that bella ruth and the other members of the collective security treaty organization could become at the new warsaw pact if you will. in response to the existence of an expanded nato. and i see that evolving quite clearly now with the, with the movement of new nuclear facilities into bella roost. and that could be extended to the other members of the c s t o. they have an article for which is equivalent to natives article 5,

which is no tax on one of the tax on all. so this is a very interesting development. now with the russian president, once again pointing to the investigation from seymour hersh on the north street bombing, the pulitzer prize winning journalist to share more details. office findings on commented on the western media conspiracy theory about the mysterious pro ukrainian group involvement, where you can watch the full entity with hush and the latest episode of direct impact on r t and also on our website has a preview. why the united states seems to have and i'll use this word and you tell me if it's over used in this case, invented or planted this most recent story? why are they doing this? because they the united states, those who did it, they know the president did it. you can to another way of asking this question that no reporter is asking a press conference in the, the that we blow up, the paypal i'm and pipe and biden's. okay. i could tell you one thing about the cia

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. to people who know very small and the president wasn't really getting briefed, the director was the funnel point that the guys in the field and the less that the white house knows the better because it's a talkative white house. the 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 to pipelines, you have to do it in such a way that we can't be blamed, right? that war is by september when, when biden said, let's do it and gave the order. the war was certainly sold out. and we put now a $121520000000000.00 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 they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing there, happen. everybody would know we were not right. exactly right, about that they. so the idea was the wait. but why? he picked 3 months and 3 and a half months to wait was the question, i wonder, why did he suddenly do in late september? because to get back to the point the war wasn't going well, is he was afraid that europe was going to begin to walk away, particularly the germans, germans after world war 2 are not interested in a big military, but winter's coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make his do his job as chancellor. he was and i 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,

washington is set to appoint a special envoy in belive, waste to support all position leaders in the country. as, according to the u. s. 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 2 things, as you know, day in day out, we have the vilnius based of lithuania, base b, l, bruce affairs unit this embedded in, in our embassy. and they're doing the day in day out contact. because so much as of you know, the democratic opposition is in, isn't with when you, but a to 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 serve as the invoice to be able to then go in and out engage in senior levels with the, with the opposition, even as the jailers affairs unit that's based in lithuania,

does the kind of day in doubt, engagement, while washington opening support the political opposition in belgrade is still acute. is russia of meddling and us internal affairs from accusing former presidents donald trump of siding with the kremlin to manipulate elections, to hopping up hysteria and mass media of his alleged ties with russian president vladimir putin. probe involves the media company's acceptance of $8000000.00 from a source with suspected russian tides about how our former president consistently sent signals that he was not on ukraine side. he was on russia state media backed the republican candidate, donald trump, and known for his affinity to wants russia. according to our rasmussen, we're kind of us lieutenant colonel washington plans for, but i think it's another attempt at foreign meddling something the us itself would never tolerate. we would go absolutely crazy. we would probably sanction who

knows? who knows who would probably have joe biden on the phone with somebody or were at the blink and it would not be, it is not accept that would not be accept bullying that it's a 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 it 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 us. vice president campbell harris

thought a week long trip to africa on sunday has come to the white house has expressed concern over china's role on the continents while admitting washington. it's a competition with beijing. ultimately mcconick mouldy, common chaplain, took a moment. it's no secret. we are engaged in competition with china on which said very clearly, we intend to out compete china in the long term. we've made very clear we have real concerns about some of china's behavior in africa and around the world, but a true partnership without for commencement. we talked about and consult on elements of china, engage on the elements of china's engagement that concern us included in the technological economic, military and global governance domains. with his cost, these types of issues with our partners all around the world. and in voss, presidents maintenance in africa will be no different. the vice president is to meet with the leaders of darla, tanzania, and zambia with the white house lighting harris will address china's engagement in debt restructuring,

as well as other economic issues and further cooperation. during a toll, the vice president's visit full as a slew of others, a bytes help us officials with secretary of state anthony blank and on treasury secretary jonas yellen. also having visits of africa since the year began with the trip comes as washington seeks to count to the rising influence of russia and china in africa with both moscow and beijing. recently having made diplomatic tools to the continent and international policy, consulting, shad, how some africans have reacted to the upcoming us officials visit. the reaction has been that they feel as if it's not about them and it's not theory. they feel like this thing is just a way to counter china and is very open. and there is a feeling from the african people that if america really stared, they need to send their president. because chinese presidents come rushing. presidents come this in high level delegation and every year, every couple years, the russians and chinese are inviting african has this date. the ration has been death. what are you going to do for us? besides trying to counter chinese is really about africa or just about trying to

counter china and what, what type of economic packages are you going to offer for us? what type of relationship do you want to have? because america, things in a lot of these country, these tension, their business that they stinks in the organization, they're stating that there are no other side. you have a foreign policy that wants to sort of pacify this relationship. can try to often turn to china. and those 2 things are, are not, are not, are not coherent. and it's sort of like a cognitive and says occurring. because if you want to develop a relationship with these country, you have to offer them something. you have to offer a relationship and you want to counter china, offer them something that they don't get from china. but as of right now, what they're operating africa is just criticism, condemnation sanctions. and those things in many african leaders have been turned off by the nigerian presidents, muhammad z bihari has urged his citizens to share their food with those in need ahead of ramadan. as the country suffers from sky rocketing prices believe, went on to condemn unscrupulous fellows who have artificially inflated prices to

make a profit during v as lumnick sacred month. i'm particularly aware of the activities of treatise, hurt, officially increase the prices of their goods, including food at the beginning of every ramadan. according to the latest un report, nigeria is in the midst of a major food crisis, with more than 4000000 people in need of nutritional assistance. and the lack of funding and gasoline as well as the growing instability, has led to over a 1000000 people in need of humanitarian aid. it's estimated been more than a $1000000000.00 is needed to help the nation up 18 percent from last year. another major issue facing nigeria is not of terrorism from the both to her rom, millison group. since it emerged in 2009, the group's activities have claimed the lives of thousands and displaced millions of people, mostly in the country, is north. france has been a long time ally and comb boxing the threats, but off the use of supporting the multinational joint task force. paris apparently

has little to show for it. the countries, precedents mohammed, the bihari recently opened a counter terrorism sensor to be security in the region. we suppose a political analyst on human rights activists architecture who says nigeria needs further security support. i think the peculiarity does and in the program is usually a home grown problem button and julia need is now sophisticated kaufman support in terms of capacity to be military plus and then on also the technology to be able to pay these. and then data is betty right. as a result of the election that really happened, the president elect cannibal and also his vice presidential team out there must have these knowledge. i did the bug out, i did the context of what the problem is. so if they can be able to put their houses in order and bring the big brand well together, what ensuring that they can be able to holistically that is the problem i think

would be in off to me on a, i can say yes, they can be able to 100 that thing when you have these 2 people, combine their own airport and then expedia in handling such a tank. i think julia can be able to handle these political crisis. you're a skeptic. romanian senator has been added to the notorious ukrainian mirror for at the website which critics call a kill list of all she call to bucharest, 2 on x parts of ukraine. here's how they are not shocked to taka responded to being added to the ukranian blacklist. do you understand how deeply a crane despises romania? does it officially allow itself to publish death threats to remain in senator? this is the moment international opinion musson to stand that ukraine does not deserve the support. it is getting near to where it says a website, the lists people in sometimes the personal information of those have been deemed

a threat to ukraine. the senator was put on the kill list on sheet, announced the romania ukraine. agreements of 997 and demand that the return of historically romanian territories, ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman o' lake nicholas coast, that on friday that his ministry strongly condemned the attempt to call into question ukraine's territorial integrity. the list includes top russian officials and even people, such as pink floyd, where roger walters and former us secretary of state, henry kissinger. geopolitical expert and president of you are a continent pierre emanuel tom and says that despite the merits for its website being very extreme, the west continues to support ukraine. romanian minorities are, are subject to were oh, to discrimination in ukraine. the sort of situation is getting worse, even worse of undoing you. as the saw time under review, craner becoming more and more nationalist or romanian son whom guardian minorities

are feeling the pressure of for your credit and state. and this is why a many rumania so guardians, actually, who like more autonomy with you? quin this site is very extreme on the problem is or because or the western member states you bought ukraine that don't say anything about. but if russia order to merge such a site to make you huge courtesies for partitions from governments of ne, 2 members state from e, u officials from nato. fisher's, i system, a de facto detention. that's how research is when the charity refugee action have described the system of temporary accommodation for asylum seekers arriving in the u. k. new 5th to solve and people sick in asylum currently live in temporary or contingency accommodation in hotels where they are held indefinitely and conditions

that actively harm their physical and mental health. to live in an environment of fear of a textbook racist groups stuck by the racist language of politicians and sections of the media. this is a system of defacto detention. they investigation revealed that refugees arriving in the u. k. face malnutrition on the illness due to the poor quality of the food provided. a quarter of that is being housed, have reported being banned from leaving their accommodations as well as being warned. not to film their living conditions if they want. in 5 of those surveyed complained about unsanitary conditions causing outbreaks of infectious diseases. to make things even more di, other british i'm secretary, has caused for sending newly arriving refugees to rwanda. the little migration bill will cover the scenario where we want to be able to detain and remove people swiftly to a safe country like or one our laws will dramatically reduce the

avenues for exploitation so that you won't be able to afford our power to remove if you come to the u. k. legally i on a small boat, if you're paying people smuggler, if you're risking your life, if you're putting other people's lives at risk, you will not have the right to a life in the united kingdom. the u. k. claims that such a measure will stop those seeking to make a, quote, dangerous unnecessary, and legal journey to the u. k. however, critics say refugees will not be safe as there are many criminal paramilitary groups operating in the region. one that is one of the most populous countries in africa, which is already been a fast to an ethnic and political tensions in the nation. including a genocide in 994 with book, with a well rounded, politic politician who thinks that the country is not prepared to receive mike woods. they're boring me good. they're looking for stability,

then we can you for peace. they're looking for where to be. what the run, the government cannot afford to dan today i'm asking if the british government we descended to see my god, no wonder we should go on. this is that they really did a good then that they would have to stop on the same page indicators. they wanted to demonstrate it to express. the name is a senior longer today is the project you have, we have a good explanation. there is no more attention to nevada and all that kind of thing that randa, is that kind of thing. we're wondering, i mean, you got it back to you today. i am afraid that you're going to have the know we are unable today. it is not in the country. when i say i said this decision to wait a moment, we can have a war with you on

a board in the country and southwest and france police have class with protest is demanding the hold of a local water reservoir construction with the full riley, with some 25000 taking part some riots is that fine to separate police vehicles, purportedly with most of called a number of people, were injured in subsequent scuffles with police officers local authorities. at least 2 people are in hospital and a critical condition. this comes a mid week long protests across the country. we have the government's new pension reform house without alimentary. as always, you can find the latest updates on our website on the dot com, but we'll be back in 30 minutes with

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very clear to kill time time to sit down and talk ah with

ah sanchez, i've been doing news for 30 years and 2 languages around the world. and here in the united states, i've interviewed for presidents, founded a $1000000000.00 business. i believe new should be honest, direct and impactful. this is direct impact. ah, we sent this newscast with a name, seymour hersh. the reporter who wrote the very detailed story of how the caea,

under the direction of the, by the administration blew up the nord stream pipelines. he has a new article out. it's called the cover up. and tonight, he's going to join us to talk about his latest reporting. by the way, this new article by seymour hersh, which you can read for yourself on sub stack. and you should, could easily be called the cover story instead of the cover up because it seems to reveal how our government had to come up with or plant a cover story to compete with the one written by mister hersh originally to explain who blew up the pipelines, interestingly enough, that cover story is now being widely disseminated are spiegel in germany, the new york times. and it goes something like this. the people who blew up the pipeline have nothing to do with the cia. it's a rogue team of saba tours who are pro ukrainian, but they don't represent the ukranian government. now at this point i want to add

something on a bit of a personal note. i like to jog with the new york times podcast. try to do it daily . in fact, it's called daily. so recently i was listening and i heard one of the guys who wrote this story, this new story in the new york times, same people who ignored the previous story, presented by mister hersh. suddenly he's asked while i'm listening to him on this podcast, why he's reporting that these saboteurs did it. and how he sure that the see, i didn't do it. his answer to my absolutely astonishment was viv. because he asked his us intel sources and they say they didn't do it. now i should add the times is not the only news entity that ignored the blockbuster, seymour her story, cnn, and the rest of the cable ers did the same thing. that there was a time when cnn would have wanted to know more about mister hersch, a story, and they would have interviewed him. i know because i was part of that cnn. i

interviewed mr. hersh on several occasions at sienna. apparently they don't do that anymore. let me show you something if see, and i did want a reason to look into whether our government had something to do with the destruction of the north stream pipelines. all they really had to do was go into their own coverage coverage of mr. biden saying this, if russian vase that means tanks or troops crossing the on the border of ukraine again, then there will be we, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring it in with her will you? how will you do that exactly. since the project and control of the project is within germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do.
