this business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. the the headlines are not the international. the wall street journal reporter faces 20 years in prison off the he's detained by rational authorities, potentially looking at charge of the espionage on behalf of the us government. the american congress rejects legislation to increase the oversight of a 1000000000 century do correct. and that's why the concerns of regular americans about why the tax dollars are being sent to c. brazil and china strike a deal to ditch the american dollar, signing to their own currency for use. and bilateral tre, kenya, in gulf, in waves of protest, were building to settle, fire and business is shut down as police struggle to disperse the crowd.

the suspected espionage be dollarization and what many are calling a new era for china's you one currency. it's a big program for you today. life from moscow and so russian. all thirties of detained a wall street journal reporter on suspicion of engaging an espionage for the u. s government must go to court has rule to keep the journalist behind bars, pending an investigation. so open ottawa to marina cause her ever bringing us details from the moscow courthouse where he was taken. there's a lot of thrust here at the moment, waiting to catch any glimpse all the american journalism 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 courtroom, he can see there we go. and we believe that even girl school,

which is now leaving the moscow 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 gaskets 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 book while he was receiving the 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. i who 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 connotation was used by a foreigner in our country to cover up activities that were 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, ah, the from ins, spokespersons music discovery earlier such that he was caught red handed, meaning that they have the evidence to charge him, i would assume so right now will 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 in the program,

we did discuss these allegations of american reporter spying on the russian defense industry with independent journalist, mike jones and a former american marine john. good. 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 levels. because we know that the west is very concerned, the 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 an initiative to closely monitor the millions of dollars and overall aid being shipped to ukraine. that's just fine demand. so the us make sure the weapons send actually end up where they

are and tended. 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 ghana stan was pretty shocking numbers, frankly, u. f. media reports saying that only 50 percent of the american weapons sent to you crane actually get to the front lines. meanwhile, the us border control agencies, sounding the alarm about a huge increase in what yeah, gun smuggling. there been rising concerns among regular americans as well, about why the government is sending more than a $100000000000.00 to ukraine, while those funds might perhaps be better spent. for example, protecting americans amid the ongoing escalating banking crisis, money to be accounted for. we need to know where the money thinks and not

not fraud, it would feel better if we used our resources to support and aid our own people. and those people within our borders rather than going outside our borders to, to a foreign country to make it better. spend that here instead of the other only obvious. well, one of the main beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding is actually private contractors are estimates over the past year. independent recipients got more than half of washington's entire national security budget. of the u. s. inspector general and afghan is on his warner. this could signal corruption between the government and what? yeah. 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. on fortunately or time for comparison here, let's check the cost for ukraine's war effort compared with those of other major conflicts that were essentially waged by washington. for example, spending on military a to kia, but actually surpassed the annual american funding of its previous war. enough gotten lost on the u. s. is also estimated to have spent on ukraine, about half of the money it did on average per year in vietnam. of course, both the vietnam and i've kind of star wars were, well, they were big failures for washington. despite the massive paul on the economy and public sentiments about the government. and there's still no clear indication of a potential limit to the u. s. commitment to the ongoing ukraine conflict, for example. we heard earlier from retired us air force,

a lieutenant colonel carrying quit kowalski, who says, as bipartisan support for ramping up the war. because as she says, congressmen are often directly funded by guess what? that's right. the military, industrial companies, 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 how 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 space. 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, the senate vote just recently. i think we'll hear more talk about it as they, as the various candidates try to lay the waste in the fraud and the destruction. on the other side, we, we know from viet nam and from afghanistan and 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 that 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 amendment, and they don't see it in a 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 stopped 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. a spokesman for the u. m. secretary general was left wondering what the facts are in an exchange with the c g t n correspondent off the he said there are no us armed forces in syria

at this. what's the, what's the difference in syria is no attrition in syria and the situation you're king, there's 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 situation. you're sure 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 you this all comes off for a u. s. military base in syria was attacked just last week. damascus was accused the u. s. of stealing the countries oil under the guise that was opposed anti terrorism operation. america,

which is believed to have had forces in syria for nearly a decade as openly call for regime change in that country. let's. let's take this conversation further here on the channel. steven sahu. ini. a journalist. now joining us here on the, on the program live from syria. very well. welcome to today. so what, what do you, what do you think is the un deputy spokesman as a pleasure to have you here? so i was just going to ask you with that with that comment there from the un deputy spokesman. do you think he's ill informed or is he trying to create a false narrative about? no us soldiers exist in syria. first of all that you n unfortunate say this, but me as the middle eastern. what did you and do for me as you, as a person, a person living in the middle east. and i've been here for the last 30 years because you and day and for the last several decades today in the u. n, is picking hostage by the united states. what the united states for the policy you want them to say. they say, well,

if it wasn't for the russian and the chinese veto and the beginning of the war, the u. s. and then it could have invaded my country and, and had another iraq and libya. what did you do for the people i spent for the last 7 years? why didn't the u. n put george bush and tony blair on the, on the can the united states and they not kingdom are giving millions of you. so today the you in are fortunately, it's less, it's not, it's not the as this person in the middle, the united nation, the united missions, i've no, can been any country who does mistake, whoever it is, it hasn't shouldn't be on one side on the p. and the american side, but when, when they do something wrong, they claim they make themselves like they haven't seen it. i don't know if i can just if i can just jump in. i think you raise a very good point, and i apologize steven for interrupting you. but as you, as you say the u. n. is called upon to be impartial in all matters. and it does

seem to have gotten suddenly blind when it comes to observing the presence of us soldiers in syria field. why do you think? why do you think? i mean that damascus has, has said these troops are not welcome. these are illegal troops on our domestic soil. why do damascus? why do the please of the assad government keep being ignored by both america and obviously the un as well? first of all, for the american appearance in the, in syria. yes, it is illegal in any country, if the government of the country and the leader of the country asked for help from an from a friendly come states that cow syria did with iran heated with russia that is legal appearance that is held from one friend to another friendly country, but the united states came in to syria and occupied that he still here.

yeah, we are all of the oil wells, the gas wheels and the wheat of syria and our harvesting them and pumping the oil and gas, stealing them and using it. and, and using that money to fund the kurdish militia separate this but want to separate and cut into pieces. and that is why why i because they want to keep damascus, we get the ceiling government and who's the patient of dr. michel, i thought there was the week, why do they want to 3? because you got the, not the states, he doesn't go under the orders of the united states and the united states embassy. well, i mean if you go back and you can go back a few years now to, to the white house when you had what george george w bush junior, calling the axis of evil, talking about iran and north korea. but, but the bottom line is you're seeing an increasing coalition of countries around

the world, but are essentially saying no to the hedge. i'm on that trying to start up on their own 2 legs. but i wanted to ask you this, you know, they're all american soldiers and east northeast syria who off stealing the oil. we, we all know this is a fact frankly, but, but i wanted to ask you, is it more than that? because recently, syria ranked as 75th in the world when it comes to its oil production. that's about a daily output, comparable to the u. s. state of illinois. it's not that much. why do you think the american troops, really it just about the oil? snow, it's not about the oil and the united states doesn't need that oil, but a for a country for syria that oil was preventing us from porting any oil before the war but or the 14 are good speech. as i said, the united states, they want to fund the kurdish militia to keep you in a week and 2 pieces. then the congress, if you go to the congress,

georgia by then. sorry to your job by then and come on ahead of background. your son say i need the budget on the dish, the congress, my daughter for that. so they need a budget to fund that the doctor dish militia to keep serious separated we individuals and they are using it under the law and under the name of fighting our will the i just or be protected by the can make databases in the each, the theory, this is another, this is another, another is another true statement. stevens, you simply won't hear what you're saying. you will not hear this on the mainstream news channels and i really appreciate you being so straightforward with us here on our t international. i wanted to ask you, it was just last week, but a us base in syria. essentially the one that was, is stealing the oil was attacked by a drone america study, was iranians that were behind it. and there was just criss cross,

a fire between alleged iranians and the american jets that would go into these as stripes. a lot of people are saying though, this is happening because america left the middle east essentially, and in many ways he left his old war. so that's a vacuum now in that part of the world and those countries a re unify that coming back together, a reproach mall, for example, between syria and turkey or saudi arabia and iran. are you seeing a sense of independence and strength reemerging now from the arab states in the middle east? do you think? yes, the arab states and states as my screen, the goals are the last several years and switch them out of the or maybe they're not going or what they did states before like everything i tell them to do. but now today we are seeing the u. v. as going towards the east towards china or russia

than the saudi arabia conference. mm hm. but been some months when joe joe, by the game and asked to reduce the oil and the price for pressure. russia viewed a fuse and he did not go for that. and now he, china, made up between iran and saudi arabia. that's what the united states. they did not feel what to do that, but they didn't want to do that. they kept using the differences in the, in keeping them, at least in the intention. so yes, that good the goals and the see on and the world countries now, not only in the middle east or wait, you know, and not being afraid of the united states anymore. they are learning how to say no civilian are that they and the other power will respect international law like china that crush like iran, india, and they are yes, they are putting their hands together. and if this relationship builds up between

iran and so the yeah. and it may be a good relationship with russia and china. i think we can put the can build up in the face of the united states and nato, to any data there. bullying to the, to the world because that's how the night states jackie and the american state department. they are bullied just like in high school. and that's what they're trying. but now i think the next few years that's going to end. well, well stephen, as you well know, the chinese president here at moscow the other day final comments to vladimir putin . we are seeing the biggest changes in the world in a 100 years journalist stevens are we in a research with time. thank you very much. brazil and china have struck a deal to ditch the us dollar in favor of their own currency. the bilateral trade transact an agreement and setting payments in one has been signed with brazil,

which greatly facilitates our trait. we are planning to expand cooperation 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. we deal enables china and the biggest economy in latin america to conduct financial transactions directly without converting the currencies into american dollars. the new arrangement is expected to reduce costs and facilitate bilateral trade and investments. a china remains brazil's largest trading partner followed by america. there's also brazil's largest export market as well. now this comes days off for the 1st time ever. china has used its own currency to import around 65000 tons of liquefied natural gas from the u. e. it was actually, strangely enough, a french company total energy to seal the deal. china is increasingly trying to use

its currency to buy energy on the global market moves seen by many as a threat that helps the american green back. now india and egypt to take the same path as one and a half 1000000 tons of rice, the set to be traded in rupees. egypt will join 18 countries during business and rupees across the board of transactions. ultimately, in a bid to the dollar arise global trade. and we heard from a political science professor at hel, one university who says it's an important trend that's the most people are world, continues the bloss. 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 robber in russia,

there are no political conditions set on the developing countries. the 18 countries club dealing with it will be the indian root beer. some of them are western countries like germany, when germany, economic leader in europe joining this. this shows a very clear, blunt indicated that the future is for the d dollars. they should, if you should, is for that is not the west. now the western block is in the decline stage. a ukrainian bishop has a last out of president zalinski for a heavy handed crack down on religious leaders. that says kia has attempted to evict monks at gun point the largest orthodox monastery in the country. according to the vice regent of the lava cholenski as quote, kicking them out onto the streets, have on us go on the president. i am telling you mister president and your

entire pack, that our tears will not fall to the ground. but on your head, when you think to day that after taking power on our backs, based on our wishes, you can treat us like that. our lord will not forgive this action neither to you nor to your family. well, our local media reporting that armed police attended to enter the holy grounds to evict parishioners and the monks residing there. a commission members of the site who were officially tasked with quote, ensuring the safety of cultural property reportedly left without taking any action . that's as the criminal has slammed kia for acting against the monastery, saying it will not go unnoticed. 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 evicted from the lava 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. meanwhile, among sand worshippers spent the night in the church, preventing law enforcement from entering a local bank. se key of actions are illegal and they have every right to stay in that monastery. 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 these temples? periods thousands of protesters have hit the streets of the canyon capital to protest against rising cost of living. one local reporter brought us if you tell us about the demonstrations and so far, what's been that will be international response. the blood, the aftermath of the anti government protest,

i called the attention of the international community with africa now pulling feet and $33.00 in kenya. the 1st round of the monday protest people killed the whole set ablaze. what are the looted from businesses and destroyed private property, incubate on, it'll be known to be the bedrock of that opposition. supportive mission. never see anything that didn't weigh the position really trying to fight 3 election was being used. it all and some of the stuff. but actually you'll be to wait for the community for that. but you are wondering when they were coming and think that they are just wondering how can he

doesn't have been raised to me. it was vision, but the only thing that he has to do is to wait for the security of the police never showed up why not a year to issue any press statement. now this comes after the opposition leader being declared monday and these days were much actually in can you check with a fucking harmonic breath, deep concern with the appropriate calling on the stakeholders to engage in dialogue, to address any differences between the government and the opposition for the sake of national unity, the chairperson of the african union commission, mussa fucking mot express his deep concern at 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 leaders also come out from li condemning the i've been

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 brought in. we are calling for leticia 33 to see if this is from using implement the language in political bitches. social media across both how to follow us. we just a buttons 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 saying that all the, you know, does the government leadership and national security unknown people to our talk, the property of the opposition leader, mr. guy on the for president or can connect from was towards lives oak and

to cut down trees. things also seem to get down for the journalist as they say, a whole city from holy guns and police in different parts of the country. ammonia are to new nato with a 22 car freight train, caring ethanol has derailed and caught fire in the u. s. state of minnesota and they by residents, were forced to evacuate. evacuate their homes, though it was only as a precaution. local authorities say the rail line is closed and investigation underway. now, of course, definitely poisoned if it's not a cause toxic anemia cardiac arrest and god knows what it does to the environment. and this comes after a string about the accidents when america's cargo backbone. it was just what last month the train carrying dangerous chemicals derailed and burst into flames in ohio that caused serious damage to the environment. going to anyone who was caught beneath that toxic cloud. a former australian

soldier, charged with killing and scan village has been granted. bale of the court believes his life could be endanger if he sent to prison. now a helmet camera footage appeared to show oliver jordan sholtes shooting an anom pharma several times during the 2012 alleged war crime. i should warn you, you may find some of the video disturbing the, the, the right now stop late. like right now this case was initially exposed in the australian media 3 years ago footage they went public defender's team for sholtes is argued that he doesnt post any flight risk because he's abided by all the courts restrictions which noted in his decision that the incident occurred a decade ago.
