oh ah, you can do it and they can as americans placed their tactical nuclear weapons on their allies, territory and train crews and pilots to use them if necessary. we have decided to do the same. lot of mere opponent announces russia will deploy tactical nuclear weapons to bela bruce. he says moscow will retain control of the army the central american nation of all new rats establish as ties with china after breaking up decades long relations with taiwan. and the west is fully aware of the negative consequences that depleted uranium ammunition causes to human health and the

environment that's according to moscow who slammed the u. k. plan to supply kiev with radio active shell. ah, good morning from our international studio in moscow and welcome to the weekly with the hour and weeks top stories will wide i'm fiorella is about to have you with us to our top story. russia will station, tactical nuclear weapons and neighboring bella roost in response to the deployment of american nukes in europe. that's the announcement from president vladimir putin in his latest interview for the smith. i said the bush breath president lucas shanker was right. when he says that bell roost is our closest ally. as americans placed their tactical nuclear weapons on their allies, territory, and trained crews and pilots to use them if necessary. we have decided to do the same without violating our obligations that we continue to meet in terms of non proliferation of nuclear weapons. we have already

a sister or bell or russian colleagues in refitting their planes. 10 planes are ready to carry such weapons. we have already sent are well known and efficient iskander systems which can carry such weapons. beginning on the 3rd of april, we will start to train crews, and on the 1st of july, we will finish the construction of storage facility, specifically for tactical nuclear weapons and bell russian territory. we will not hand over the weapons to bela bruce just as the u. s doesn't due to its allies, we're simply doing what they have been doing for decades. vladimir putin also discussed the nurturing sabotage. he pointed to the statement from russian experts that i device found near the pipelines could have been used your transmitted signal to set off the explosion by russian leader also spoke on political matters. recalling his recent meeting, wishing, paying and moscow as a productive and pleasant affair. earlier we spoke to former pentagon security policy analyst, michael maloof, who discuss what the president said in the interview. i think the just,

the deployment response is in a response and 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 way, 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, 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 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 nato's article 5, which is natasha on one of the attack on all. so this is a very interesting development. during the interview, president impudent added that western powers tried to disrupt negotiations with its chinese counterpart. that reaction came in response to reports that a 1000000 artillery shells have been sent to ukraine by western partners. that information was revealed the same day. he met with a chinese leader where the pair discuss beijing's piece plan for the ukranian conflicts. during the meeting. the 2 sites said their relations don't represent a military alliance aimed at other countries. the leaders also expressed concern over u. s. military and biological activities. calling for washington to explain itself receivable in the middle is even to be triple to walk along the cedar chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations over the last 10 years and all of crucial and vital importance for today's world order. a relationship is

built on contributing to the progress of mankind. we guided by the principles in the un charter and it did to an unbiased view, were always ready for peace and dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history western efforts to isolate and to contain russia both economically and politically hit a wall today, as the chinese leader came out and said that not only was china happy about the record trade, that in our joys with russia at a 190000000000 turn over year, it'll increase that trade to a much greater figure by 2030. that is the plan voiced by vladimir putin and she, jim being of china booth came out and loaded where relations are right now. they're at a historic height. they said the best they've been in centuries more than that. vladimir putin and she jumping listed the various areas where they would work together,

build on those relations, and they're pretty much everything. their culture. there are trade business financial services, as well as technology energy and much, much more. those countries optimistic about the future. the chinese also brought with them a plan, a plan for peace, la hamster marie, is full as we believe that many of the points of china's piece plan are similar to our views and can be taken in action for the peaceful settlement. when the western key of are ready to accept these, however, so far we see no willingness on their part. that men couldn't also during the press conference, told the audience that the various dignitaries, the delegations was the press that while he and she jumping, talked, vladimir putin was, was brief that the great britain and officials had announced that they would now supply depleted uranium rounds to the ukrainian military,

the same depleted uranium that has been linked to countless deaths and birth defects, cancer in areas such as a rock where it has been used low we ministered for, but you k as an out, not only the supply of tanks to ukraine, but also shells with depleted uranium. it seems that the west has really decided to fight russia to the last ukranian. we are not in words, but in reality, great if all of this happens, russia will have to react accordingly. based on the fact that the collective west is beginning to use weapons with a new killer component, all an old grand ambitious plans voiced by, by china, and by russia. the leaders of both, both saying that they stood for a multi polar world than that they would work to develop that world. and the various systems and bodies that govern it. a world based on on rules and laws in which china and russia will remain good friend

earlier, my colleague racy shane, discuss a range of topics and loving the chinese presidents visit with a panel of guests from the west is clinging on to m unipolar world to whether or not beijing's proposed piece plan for ukraine will become a reality. the world is, it is changing. it's had enough of the, let's call it from what it is, western arrogance. and it will start to form their own alliances in response to the deployment of western alliances, such as made of the existence of which still defies any logic. because the better lines are supposed to fight communism and protect the west from the ideological sprint. a and military spirit and was countered by the war, so fact, which was promptly dismantled. and you know,

chide china's has come to moscow with a potential piece proposal for the conflict in ukraine. a john kirby of the us national security council, formerly of the u. s. state department, john kirby saying washington is not interested about a possible sees far in ukraine, particularly if it's mediated by china. alex, why would washington be against ending the conflict? we've seen the collapse of their financial system over the last couple of weeks here. that truly shows you the power that washington really has nowadays, which is not much they're used to ripping up agreements. they're in to that apparently, and they're up to really no good on the international world wide, i would say diplomacy levels while the u. s. is scrambling book, all china is now gain partners one by one with their belt road initiative and through the belt road initiative, investing in other countries. they are once again building a relationship. that is what the world is up against. and i think it's, it's quite challenging for the u. s. he make a very good point, alex,

which i'll take over to, to benjamin chow now, because how, how do you think, benjamin, that the members of the bricks group of nations and i also african state to how do you think they perceive the beijing proposed a piece plan now we se opposite trends in a well, there was this portrayed cam and don't can let like a less than showing a key a trend of equalization which could tongue bad because equal seymour's as train an interest more segregated. and it worries becoming a more serious um, jane. ah, you know, people fall carpets and we understand that. but it is quite reasonable that the us now is when the asking people to reject any piece plans on ukraine as you raised. right. that these are, you know, there are currently a 20 african country leaders here in most was seeking collaboration. yet dibiase and other cam food exclusive cups in the name of democracy for la la, coarsely and will stand china. and under,

as i've established diplomatic ties, after the central american nation and a decades long relations with taiwan, honduras is an important country in central america. the government of honduras chooses to stand with $181.00 countries in the world recognise and undertake to adhere to the one china principal, severe the so called diplomatic relations with taiwan, establish diplomatic relations with the people's republic of china and undertake that endures, shall no longer develop an official relations or official exchanges with taiwan. this is the right choice, that is in line with the prevailing trend and supported by the people. china highly appreciate that. the suffering of ties came after the on the door and foreign minister visited beijing. the under foreign ministry stated that it recognized taiwan as an inseparable part of chinese territory and china as the only legitimate government, the loss of relations with under as leaves taiwan with formal diplomatic ties with

just 13 states around the globe. taiwan in turn, accused the central american country of being lord by china, which is promising financial assistance by joan boyer single pitching boundary tie wants, ministry of foreign affairs. would like to warn beijing your pocket. it's attempts to lose our diplomatic allies was lost, promising justice in order to squeeze or diplomatic spaces seriously harmed the feelings of to tie one is what he owe total and spiritual divergence of cross straight relations. wilson, to where you check out our website, r t dot com, to find out more about washington's efforts to exert influence in on good us. by pressuring the central american nation to opt out of establishing ties with china disease and no agriculture. the russian defense ministry has said that the west is well aware of the irreparable harm that depleted uranium causes to civilians and

the environment as laws to ukrainian service men, but still plants to send the ammunition to ukraine anyway. moscow calls the move, the pinnacle of shamelessness. this is just of bringing you. thank you, barbara. the west is well aware of the negative consequences of the use of depleted uranium ammunition, despite the fact that the use of such munitions will cause irreparable harm to the health of ukrainian armed forces and the civilian population. however, nato countries and particular great britain, expressed their readiness to supply these type of weapons to the key of regime militia. nato has actually become an accomplice to horrific crimes ukrainians for nato, as we all see are just expendable. no one cares about their fate. either in european capitals or across the ocean. the pinnacle of shamelessness was the recent reports about britain's readiness to supply the key of regime with depleted uranium ammunition. earlier british authorities announced that they intend to supply

ukraine with depleted uranium projectiles, which work to pierce tanks and armored vehicles. latter. mir putin warned that russia would be forced to respond accordingly. john kirby national security council spokesperson diminished the severity of london's plans, saying that the use of such arms is what he calls fairly commonplace. i mean, make no mistake in this is yet another straw man through which the russians are driving a stake. this kind of ammunition is a fairly common place been in use for, for decades. the west as use weapons containing depleted uranium in europe during the bombing of former yugoslavia. according to the admission of the former nato secretary general lord robertson himself more than 30000 rounds of ammunition with depleted uranium were dropped on belgrade serving officials who this week marked 24 years since the beginning of the nato bombing save those numbers are

higher. use of depleted uranium in the balkans, sparked a number of lawsuits by those who participated in the operations, including soldiers from italy, france and the u. k. according to independent journalists do some pro brokovich and member of the serbian parliament meals bonds, or the consequences for those involved were terrible. i know good consequences. i had a u. j. a think that the bombing was simply unjustified. the dead for the use of the plant, the bloated uranium and buster bombs, for example, was also unjustified. that the consequences at a better. but although they have not yet been fully explored, especially when it comes to though you're a new m, as you imagine, certainly a's county with a continuous increase in the number oh, concepts in the number of malignant diseases. the research on that topic is being

done, although it should, we also said and undermine that. natalie. is this some of beijing? them some with asian dental early since sunday. you dance? lose em. you'll serbia. today is the number one country in europe when it comes to the number of people suffering from cancer. and this is the clear consequences of the bombings with depleted uranium. for hundreds of years, it will remain present in our water, air, and soil, by giving ukraine such weapons. they will pollute the territory of ukraine on which many depend for food don't. i simply cannot believe when i heard the information that great britain is offering ukraine weapons with depleted uranium. russia is not serbia, russia, cannon will respond in a completely different manner. it is just simply unbelievable that the west is trying to drag every one into destruction. when they conduct their aggression towards the former yugoslavia they used forbidden weapons would be a horrible iranian threat to our country. that's the u. k. security minister

brandon b as la mc center for england, which law makers want to shut down. sadly, this lemming sandra for england is not alone and the work of this landmark revolution regard core is not limited to those iranian proxy organizations. the government was pulling together to come with this wild threat that's taken over a country and is now threatening ours members of parliament claim the center is run by direct representatives of the iranian leader, ayatollah ali. how many e. and while the u. k. grass for toronto, connection to the london mos around serv. illusionary guard corps has long been labeled a terrorist organization by american law makers who are now urging their european allies including the u. k. to follow suit. earlier we spoke with an independent journalist. she says the u. k. political system needs to take steps to get rid of islam of phobia. obviously they always come with excuses of security, but this is the country where based on reports,

40 over 40 percent of mosques have come under attacks over the past 3 years. and a great percentage of the voters have been that have been surveyed in different elections, have said that they feel islam is generally a threat. so, so we're talking about a country that has, as i'm a phobia, grounded in that society and in, as well as a political system of the media. and you see the same security minister quitting in arabic and congratulating muslims for ramadan, but at the same time portraying muslims as being a threat. this is clearly very hypocritical and has nothing to do with security or was fighting terrorism. it's all has to do with trying to demonstrate and isolated on western sanctions, economic shifts, the global role of china,

all this and more discussed in the latest episode of going underground hosted by our finra tansy. he dollarization this one, you know, considerable russians have done wonderful it by the way the center did not destroy rubel. the price to everybody in the west, china will move in the same direction. the country they are sailing master, give us the eventually will make r and b, you know, the more important international courtesy. so they are preparing to work. and at this moment, sanction, still working out to be able to damage chinese economy. but chinese are, well, they take the glove now so to speak. less row, you know, less, less fine if he, if he wanted. because you know, say soccer quite

a lot as well. with these sanctions, 16 chinese workers killed in the central african republic just ahead of the she visit to moscow. china has a lot of infrastructure that could be bombed. we know that sy hersh revealed the destruction perhaps the greatest infrastructure terror acts in all history. the north stream pipelines, applying energy to europe. surely china is very vulnerable in latin america and africa and southeast asia to any kind of cia, nordstrom style attack. that's possible because there's always fossil, depending on how much. well, you know, tension will develop between us and china. let's say if china started measuring against tie one, will united states really do a full scale or fair with china? i doubt it really dislike biden's full. infamous hum slips. as

we will do it. i don't, the u. s. military is ready. you are. so you know, the overall strategy and even belief in deploying the risk. they only thing one with allies, something called law on the quad is really at rather primitive stage. i don't believe they're reaching the level of so called inter operability. the coordinate a wool on behalf of taiwan ah, this week marks to decades for the iraqi people since us led forces invaded their country and impose regime change by force or to continue special coverage of the conflict that through the oil rich country into chaos. and the stabilize the region for years to come at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from great. he's

going to be of food and sleep. with out in march, 2003, missiles rain down on baghdad in suing invasion left behind a trail of destruction and an estimated 1000000 people dead. r t correspondence, steve sweeney, takes an in depth look at the u. s flood campaign that was unleashed on iraq queer here in baghdad, which 20 years ago was in flames as the us and britain unlist it shocking or

bombing campaign. what we have seen on television, though, is indeed the 1st phase of a day. the campaign called shock and awe. eye witnesses described what happened when missiles rained down on the iraqi capital, a march, 2003. while the attack was anticipated, locals will have traumatized by the sheer scale of the destruction. it was very difficult for the country, and for all iraqis citizens on that day, a disaster struck my nephew was killed in the 1st strike on that god damn day bushes, a criminal. it was his fault. they are all criminals. they trampled on humanity. they hate people. this was to be expected of them. they came to destroy the country, not to protect the citizens of iraq. it was a curse time for all. iraqis were still feeling the consequences of this. the world

has promised the american soldiers would be welcomed with open arms with flowers and with sweets. while a swift victory was guaranteed, we are in the square where the americans tore down the statue of saddam hussein. but what many people don't realize is that he was just yards away in the streets behind me. watching events unfold. bus loads of people were brought in to create the impression that it was ordinary iraqis that tore down the statue. it was to create the narrative that the people who supported the us led invasion as the u. s . struggled with heavy losses private military contractors were brought in. but they too were involved in war crimes in the atrocities against ordinary iraqi civilian. here in this whole square, one of the worst massacres took place at the hands of the notorious blackwater private military company. as they escorted to a u. s. military convoy the mercenaries. oh fire, killing 17 and wounding 20. relocated either the word blackwater. for me as

a journalist is associated with something terrifying. i saw people in complete disarray, for example, there was always arrested. any resident could be shot dead on the street. this incident took place in the al cough area. there was a turmoil, some passes by were killed by blackwater, p. m. c. we went to this place only after the blackwater left by then black war was something terrible for us. this incident was not particularly disgust at the meetings by the government then for blackwater. personnel with charlton giles but i would like to pardon by then you have president donald from black or to maintain his name, but not his faculty under the name of how to me. it was a letter they involve in the fighting for my 4th is ahead of the conflict in ukraine. now as constant. it has a vested interest in liquid natural gas which many phase the recalls what has been described as nato. from the war. confederates was bought $1000000000.00 by

investment company apollo group in 2016. in september 2020, a polar group entered a 5 and a half 1000000000 real estate investment partnership with the abbey, toby national oil company, one of the world's largest oil companies, and a major exporter of liquefied natural gas. in december 2021 at noah was invited to enter a joint venture to create an oil and gas term, new in the ukranian pulse of a desa for transportation to western countries. the announcement came a month off, the chief executive of the ukrainian state energy company nafta. guess you revert ranko tote and abu dhabi energy conference, that he hopes the russian nurturing to pipe on in to europe, which bypasses ukraine would not be approved. he said that ukraine stood to lose $2000000000.00 per year, about 1.5 percent of its g d p. if the russian pipe was operational, claiming that no string to is actually putting the whole continent and global security at risk. one ex says, these organizations operate in a gray area, often outside to law,

live to future from the black water case has not been solved. i think the americans are investigating the case, but insignificant information about the investigation, procedure and compensation issues comes from different sources. i heard that some citizens received compensation while others did. not all this is caused by the weakness of the government in protecting it citizens. we now know that the war was based on a lie. there were no w m days and saddam had nothing to do with $911.00. but the legacy of the invasion can 20 on the 1st miss all for fire. during the us invasion, numerous state sites were looted and thousands of historical artifacts were stolen . the ransacking of the iraqi national museum is considered one of the most devastating acts of cultural vandalism in modern times. who when this, when it out that the right to national museum was subject to the largest loosen in modern history. a most significant cultural heritage is the most important home of

civilization has been stolen with in 2003. when the looting mostly took place. the national museum house, thousands of important archaeological lightens from ancient civilizations, such as these marian babylonia acadian syria, as well as a slumming civilization. large quantities of items have been looted, sabotaged were even smashed, especially sculptures and pottery. many of the taken items were found in antiquity, shops and auctions around the world, and were sold to the highest bidders. ah,

ah, ah, how could have been and what was stolen from the iraqi national museum is only small pores of what has been looted. archaeological sites spread across iraq and why did the fragile security situations in many provinces, especially after the 2014 events and the emergence of terrace groups? those archaeological sites, which were not under government control, have been legitimately excavated. thousands of archaeological items have been found and eventually smuggled abroad on u. p. s. lift feet. this was a pre planned and systematic theft. the area in which the national museum located, supposed to be a very restricted area, and us troops were stationed near the museum. the allowed the mob to break into the

facility and move the items that present human value of the systematic attempts to eradicate the rocky antiquities have been amplified by the rice of isolated, especially around the city of mosul, where a syrian archaeological items were looted and sold international markets and auction for millions of dollars me, i iraq, embassies and consulates all over the world have exerted tremendous efforts to retrieve stolen items. we also maintain good cooperation with foreign ministries around the world, into poll and unesco. the united states has an active legislation that criminal.
