no judge heard my story, did nothing to challenge. validate the top headlines right now and, you know, there is a wall street journal reporter faces 20 years in prison. offerings are arrested by russian authorities, potentially looking at chargers of vienna on behalf of the us government. the u. s. congress rejects legislation to increase the oversight of the 1000000000 being sent to ukraine. spies the concerns of regular americans about why the tax payers dollars keep getting sent so far away from home. also in the program, brazil and china striking a deal to ditch the us dollar, turning to their own currencies, but use in bilateral trade. i taught the tenure in gulf, in a wave of protests where buildings are set on fire and the business is shut down as

police struggle with both the from the moment after 4 pm local time. here with the russian capital. this is the international. it's so good to have with us for this walk. so russian authorities have detained a wall street journal report on suspicion of engaging in espionage for the us. government will have this over now to our team, and we're in a closer ever bringing us details from the moscow courthouse where the american was taken. there's a lot of thrust here at the moment, waiting to catch any glimpse all the american journalists and any time the black car behind me makes any sort of noise like right now. we believe that the american journalist is in that car right now. the black car that is deporting this core room, you can see there we go. and we believe that even girl school, which is now leaving the most go court. and as we can see,

there's not only lots of thrust here, but some heavy duty armed guards. and that's because earlier in the day this court received a bomb threat that had to be evacuated. this is shortly right before even getsco's actually made it here. but since then they checked everything, everything was okay and the, the preceding returned back to normal. and we heard that the chief investigator asked for even girl courts to receive espionage charges. now once again, this all comes after the f as be released, the statements where they said that they detains, or the american journalists in the city of you got it in books while he was receiving secret information. now, 32 year old reporter, ah, he's been working for the moscow bureau of the wall street journal. previously he worked for the moscow times, or he worked for agency france price. he was in accredited a journalist. he had an accreditation from russia's foreign ministry. and this is

what the foreign ministry had to say about this case today. what this employee of the american publication, the wall street journal was doing in the exeter and berg has nothing to do with journalism. unfortunately, this is not the 1st time that the status of a foreign correspondent along with a journalistic visit. the accreditation was used by a foreigner in our country to cover up activities that for not journalism. this is not the 1st time that such a westerner has been caught red handed right now, they'll be looking into his activities here in russia were heard from all the, from an spokespersons music discovery earlier such that he was caught red handed, meaning that they have the evidence to charge him. oh, i would assume. so right now we'll be waiting to see what the outcome is after this hearing and will no doubt, we've given you more information as soon as we have it. earlier we discussed these allegations over american reporter spying on the russian defense industry. with

independent journalist, mike jones on former us marine john duke. it's no secret, especially in this day and age that the american journalistic structure. all of them just about are working for the united states government. it really depends on what this individual was trying to get. but if you're trying to get military secrets related to like weapons, like how much they're producing or anything like this, that's very detrimental to russian security. and you know, they can't just let something like that go, unfortunately, trying to gather a secret information is not a normal thing that journalists do. i mean, they report on the ground in different countries. but you're, you're not really supposed to be going to weapons manufacturers and trying to obtain the secrets. i would expect a lot of spin on it and down playing his role and why he was there,

were speculating at the moment. but i wouldn't be surprised if it were to do with perhaps even the production of ammunition and levels, because we know that the west is very concerned. you can't seem to ramp up the supply. so perhaps he's trying to ascertain just how capable russian industry is. if indeed, this is as it is, claim to be. again, it's another level of desperation. i feel of the u. s. in the collective west as they desperately try to scramble to gain some advantage in a huge blunder and mistake that they've made. and they're desperately trying to trying to back pedal the u. s. congress has rejected initiative to closely monitor the billions of dollars and overall aid being shipped to ukraine. this despite demands that the us make sure that the weapons send to actually do arrive, but their intended destinations. this body has spent to date

$113000000000.00 on the war and ukraine and county. and yet we do not have any direct oversight of any of the money that is being spent. listen, we learned this the hard way. and if dana fan or us media reports have said that only 30 percent of the american arms sent to ukraine actually get to the front line . meanwhile, the us border control agency has sound to be alarm about a substantial increase in done smuggling. they happy and rising concerns among regular americans about why the government is sending more than a $100000000000.00 in a to ukraine, while those funds might perhaps be better spent. for example, protecting americans and the ongoing crushing bank crisis. money should be accounted for. we need to know where the money things and not not fraud, it would feel better if we used our resources to support and aid our own

people. and most people in our orders, rather than going to to a foreign country to make it better than that. here instead of the other only obvious. so would you be surprised to learn that one of the main dependent beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding is actually that of private contractors or estimates that over the past year, independent recipients got more than half of washington's entire national security budget. and the u. s. inspected journal, enough ganeth on has warned that this could signal corruption between the government and what that's right between the government and the military. industrial complex you are bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the whole government, but also of us government contractures or other 3rd party contractors to try to

steal the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson. i've been in washington since 92 and learning lessons is not in our d n a in the united states. unfortunately, you might find this interesting, let's take a look at how the costs for ukraine's war effort compared with those of other major conflicts, way to buy washington. for example, spending on military a to kia has actually surpassed the annual us funding of its previous war. in afghanistan, the u. s. is also estimated to spend on ukraine more about half of the money bid on average per year in vietnam. of course, both the vietnam war and f canister on war, they will, they will big, big failures for washington. despite the massive toes on the economy and public sentiments about the government, i mean, there's still no clear indication of a potential limit to the u. s. commitment to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. well, we had a chance to speak with a retired american air force, lieutenant colonel,

who says, says bipartisan support for ramping up ukraine's war effort. as congressmen are often directly funded by the military industrial complex, i know how the u. s. senate gets reelected and they get re elected through their relationships and the donors that they have in this country. and a, a many of those are from the defense sector. and so, you know, it's not in their interest to reduce spending. it's not in their interest to ask hard questions that may lead to the reduction in that spent. that's exactly what would happen if we actually looked at this. there is by bipartisan support to continue to spend, as we saw with the senate. you the senate vote just recently. i think we'll hear more talk about it as they as the various candidates. so try to lay the waste in the fraud and the destruction. on the other side, we know from viet nam and from afghanistan in many other places that we don't care

about democracy. in fact, the only kind of democracy, the united states really likes is the kind it is allied with its current political interest, even though congress doesn't seem to have learned its lessons on afghanistan. i think the american people kind of have and i do see a more popular pushback against what the congress is doing. the americans are tired of this very tired of it and they don't see it is productive. they don't understand what it's about, and they don't even know the full history. and as some of that truth comes out on how long that this government, united states government has stoked this war, has tried to really sacrifice ukraine at this altar as they find these things out and they are beginning to they become angry. and so i don't, the support in this country is not there for increasing this. the only support i see is support to end the war this year there were talking huge implications. were the story as brazil and china struck a deal to ditch the us dollar in favor of their own currency for bilateral trade

transaction. an agreement and setting payments in one has been signed with brazil, which greatly facilitates our trait, were planning to expand corporation in the field of food and mineral extraction. and to search for a possibility of exporting goods with high added value from china to brazil, and from brazil to china. while the deal enables china and the biggest economy in latin america to conduct financial transactions directly without couldn't voting their currencies and the us dollars. the you are, arrangement is expected to reduce costs and facilitate bilateral trade and investments. a china remains brazil's largest trading partner accounting for more than a 5th of all of its imports, followed by the us. a china was also brazil's largest export market accounting for more than a 3rd of all of its exports. now, this comes just days after china completed its 1st l. n. g trade paid for in its national

u. one currency as it imported around $65000.00 tons of liquefied natural gas. and while the commodity originated in the u, a. e, it was actually a french company, total energy use that fulfilled the contract. a china has been increasingly stepping up its oil and gas deals, and you won in a bid to establish a currency on a more global level. and also of course weakens the u. s. dollars traditional dominance in well trade. a trade in a national currencies is also expected to grow between india and egypt, which are currently discussing the purchase of over one and a half 1000000 tons of rice in rupees. if the deal is agreed upon, egypt will join to 18 countries during business and rupees for cross border transactions. in a bit to d. dollar rides, global trade, the indian currency becoming more international. we heard from a professor of political science at hello one university who says it's an important trend that's the dollar has typically been used by washington as a form of a tool,

whether it comes to political or economic issues. the economic crisis now is how to get the dollar. and the u. s. is trying to exercise control on countries on the supply of dollars and the have to submit to their economic and political conditions. why? when you deal with the euro, b, as in india or the lobby in russia, there are no political conditions set on the developing countries. the 18 countries club dealing with it will be the indian rubia. some of them are western countries like germany, when germany economic lead that in europe joining this. this shows a very clear, blunt indicated that the future is for the d dollars. the issue, if you should,

is for the east, not the west. now, the worst, the block he's in the decline, or the kremlin has a slammed kia 1st actions against the key f put charter school love, a place of worship, saying it won't go unnoticed. i most we are sensitive to these actions. we condemn the pressure that's being exerted on the clergy and on the russian orthodox church . if they are a victim from the lover than everything will depend on their decision, what they will do next. but of course, i have no doubt that in russia, of course, no one will remain indifferent to their future fate. while a local media reporting the police with machine guns and to the territory to a vic, the parishioners and monks that reside there. however, they would not let in as a clergy member state and said they will not be removed without proper documents. earlier that made a report of the members of the commission for checking on the safety of cultural property, left the reserve without action being taken. one of the priests spoke about the

demands of believers who continue to insist on the eely galaxy of the authorities, actions and demand and objective investigation with infant national participation. we are well aware now that these can be used against us as an opportunity to take this church away from the key of the logical seminary academy, seal it. and that will let us in. we know that you and your employees have been here many times. unfortunately, we have not seen those documents stating that we have committed violations. unfortunately, we must say that we do not expect an objective assessment. and if there is an assessment, it should be an objective one with witnesses from the public. and journalists, it is imperative that there should be representatives of various organizations, including you repeat on the under such conditions, will you be able to answer the sample period?

are shifting gears or not the international of thousands of protesters, of the streets of kenya's capital, the protest against rising cost of living luck report brought us to details about the demonstrations and that of the international risk the blood, the aftermath of the anti government protest definition of the international community where they are now calling for faith and restraint in kenya, the 1st round of the month protest, people killed their home. that i believe was looted from businesses and destroyed private property, incubate unable to be known to be the bedrock of that position. supporters never see anything in the position you really trying to fight and re election enforcement been very good at all and some of the stuff. but actually

you will be to wait for the community for that. but you are wondering when the police is coming and think that they are just wondering how can he doesn't have been erased, requested me demonstration. but the only thing that he has to do is to wait for the security of the police never showed up. find out a year to issue any press the statement. now this comes after the opposition leader, right? being declared, monday on the day 4 months actually in came up with a fucking bahama express, a deep concern that would be appropriate calling on this. they called us and engage in dialogue to address any differences between the government and the opposition for the theme of national unity. the chairperson of the african union commission, mussa fuck emma expresses deep concern and violence following public protests in

kenya since the 21st of march 2023, which has resulted in loss of life damage to property. and the interruption of certain economic activities in the capital nairobi. now religious liter also come on from the optim calling on the government and the opposition to have done no peace to prevail in the country. these comes up to a charge and almost ablaze night after they were calling for leticia $33.00 to see this is from using implement the language in political bitches. social media both how to follow us. we just abundantly lead to the unfortunate events of last night. here we call all of you we caught up on you can call the demo reason. i've used alternative approaches to how do you said was that the organization, he thought you thought into political vision, but really thing that was,

these are all the knob, does a government and national security work on people who are talk the property of the opposition leader. mr. guy on the president can, can ever, from was towards the lives of the cut down trees. things also seem to get down for the journalist, asked the whole city from holy guns on police in different parts of the country. ammonia are 2 new night over a 22 coff. freight train carrying ethanol has derailed and caught fire in the us state of minnesota. and they have residents were forced to evacuate their homes. as a precaution. local authorities say the rail line is now closed and investigation is underway. of course, ethanol is poisonous, is not a cause toxic anemia and cardiac arrest. and this does come after a string of other accidents on america's cargo backbone. last month,

the train carrying dangerous chemicals derailed and caught fire in ohio, causing serious damage to the environment. and anyone who was caught up in the toxic cloud 20 minutes past the our local time here in moscow, a spokesman for the un secretary general was grilled by a cdc and correspondent after he said, there are no american troops in syria at this. what's the, what's the difference between syria is no attrition in syria and the situation you're crying there is no us armed forces inside of syria. and so at a, so i don't have a, it's, it's not a very low which we should, you should know. there's no, there's no u. s. u s military personnel, i believe is military activity. yeah. but a but a but in terms of ground presence in syria, i'm not aware of that. okay. 5 us service members were injured in that attack. if there's no, there were no us soldier service members in syria. how could they got injured

at? that's weird, right. should i ask? yeah, i guess he might be surprised to know the u. s. military base is in syria were attacked just last week at damascus as a choose the u. s. of stealing oil from the country under the guise of a supposed anti terror operation. or the u. s. which is believed to have had forces in syria for nearly a decade has opened, he called for regime change there. and the news editor of the cradle media outlet, esteban cut ego says the u. s. military presence in syria. does de facto violate global law? found that like he was making foreign but it also raised the question of whether it was a un official or us state department spokesperson, trying to, to defend a defensive all the president of the us army, syria, illegal by international law. so and he said the us was the us form after the 2nd world war 2, to defend international law into it,

to prevent the conflict like these from abruptly. but now it seems that un has been turned to simply another tool to, to justify these illegal innovations. and these, the plundering of the, of the theory as resources. and these are attracted to what regime change is about controlling oil producing areas of syria. what he does allow them to do is to pressure the government in damascus to pressure the people which on top of economic sanctions, the government cannot, cannot use their own resources that has been the strategy to start this war in syria. he has been to oust and the government of bash out of a former australian soldier, charged with murdering and gun village has been granted bail the quarter believed his life could be in danger if he sent to prison. a helmet camera footage appears to show oliver jordan sholtes shooting and armed pharma, several times during the 2012 alleged war crime. and warning,

the following video is disturbing. the. the the right now stop late like well, the case was initially exposed nails, trillion media 3 years ago with footage of the killing going public. the defense team for shult series of 41 years old has argued that he doesn't close or doesn't pose a flight risk because he's so far abided by all the restrictions imposed by the court of a court also noted that the incident occurred a decade ago during the war enough canister on the defense does not consist of a threat to australian society though of course the victims father abdul malik, is still reeling from the loss of the face. had wound covered his face and

told them to take him to the graveyard month. said that he's very old, i came back to see the place. i saw the wheat field where he was killed. the week was flying all around, while the host of the whistle blowers program don't react. who says the court decision is based on a while, a nonsensical excuse, and that the authority is wanting to feed a certain narrative to the strategy and public. i think that the reason why justice hasn't been served in australia is there is the same reason the justice hasn't been served in the united states. there's a tendency by our governments to cover up the crime and to punish the whistleblowers. this case is another one of those crimes in a long line of crimes against civilians carried out in australia where it appears that the perpetrator is going to get away with it. i think that is utter nonsense that was used just as an excuse for the public. if this were in the united states,

this soldier would be put in solitary confinement for his own protection. even if the australians don't do that, they can certainly put him in a local jail, out in the middle of nowhere, to keep him safe or in a low or minimum security prison to await trial where everybody is on his best behavior. and he wouldn't be in any danger at all. the military said australian soldiers have been implicated and the alleged killings of 39 unarmed prisoners all civilians in afghanistan around half of those cases were referred to investigators to see if there was enough evidence for trials. so i had about to john kerry ocoee one more time here. he says, the australian government itself must ensure that justice prevails. it's up to the austrian government to ensure that justice is carried out. show the world that they're serious about the rule of law and about human rights. i'm not surprised,

but i am disappointed. i'm not surprised because, you know, using the united states as an example. well, the united states was the major power in afghanistan for the entire period that the australian military was there. so presumably the united states would have to assist in the prosecution. in the i, c. c of a soldier, even from australia and the u. s. is never going to, to cooperate in something like that. so it just seems to me that the i, c, c, 's hands are tied and they would not a, they would not be able to carry out a successful prosecution. the british military has started training ukrainian troops to use depleted uranium ammunition in combat. the weapons appeared in our recent documentary presented by the u. k. ministry of defense for the showing ukrainian soldiers undergoing training on challenger tooth hangs and breton, soon enough. 14 of those ok sent the key. if you look carefully though,

the video also shows a black round that if you send the tanks, we're looking at some of them right here. look carefully. those are depleted uranium, munitions. the un environment program has described depleted uranium as quote, chemically in radio logically toxic, and the u. k has confirmed that it will send the controversial controversial weapons to ukraine. of course, it's aka harsh reaction from russian by the pang corn ranges. alongside are granting of a squadron of challenger to main battle tanks to ukraine will be providing ammunition including armor piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium shock. this is a step towards a serious build up of escalation city statement by western colleagues that it's ok, nothing is forbidden. we don't violate any conventions, but we all remember what consequences the use of depleted uranium supplies lead to a nucleus. lafayette iraq were tens of thousands of civilians and military personnel suffered from the use of this ammunition of

u. k is not alone and providing training to ukraine in troops of their american personnel in the video as well. if you look carefully, one soldier bearing an american flag patches, sienna, instructing you. cranium troops explaining the latest arms from the west, including that of depleted uranium, munitions. but the u. s. though has a history of using those shells. no to be during nato's $19909.00 bombing campaign in yugoslavia. and of course, during the invasion of iraq during the 22000 or 3 iraqi war, the u. s. 5 more than $300000.00 depleted uranium rounds, having the deadly effects and civilian areas. are they optimized? felicia, source sharp rise and birth defects, kansas and all sorts of other illnesses. meantime, washington says it's up to london. what kind of munition it sends to ukraine? we would let the u. k speak for itself in terms of what solver, decisions are going to make about providing ammunition. this kind of ammunition is fairly commonplace. been used for, for decades,

where we discussed the whole idea of the u. k sending depleted uranium ammunition to ukraine with the former senior security policy analyst of the us pentagon. the u. s. does have a closer arrangement with the u. k. they work very closely to get in fact, those 2 countries were the ones who, who developed the, the d u or the depleted uranium rounds. and they've been using them for years and years and years has had consequences. i know that you and has tried to play down the toxic effects, but nobody knows what it's like over time, but this also puts the ukrainians in jeopardy in terms of health. and the this whole thing is just maddening. the whole point about this uranium is that it, the diluted version of it, but it still has radiation impact over time. nobody knows what that impact is.

well, it's already well knowing that the use of depleted uranium, i mean ition essentially irradiate the soil in the environment is used in like in iraq. so supposed to radiate this all the thousands of years. how many generations to be born with birth defects? what kind of future will ukraine have more details? when we return the top of the the i was standing in an alley smoking a joint one day and a man came up to me and pulled the joint from my mouth. and he said, don't you know that that's what the capitalists and the jews want you to do.
