intelligence service infiltrate at the firm to continue activities in syria and collaborated with terrorist groups like isis in order to do so. we learned that there was a special relationship between the french states, its services and lafarge. one of the reasons the state took an interest in us was that the factory site was a strategic location for the anti terrorist coalition. and for france, this is why i believe that the authorities encouraged us, at least to maintain our activities in syria. so let's get this straight. while some of the world's most brutal terrace groups are operating all around it, this particular french company was miraculously able to continue operating. essentially under the protection of the same terrace, the french air force had been bombing since 2014. and who the french state had labelled as savages. but as you can see from this map, the plants location meant that despite most of the staff being evacuated,

its strategic importance remained. the french giants factory continued its operation in syria, despite extremist groups taking over large swathes of the country until finally shutting down its factory in columbia, aleppo in september 2014 been situational paddock. so paradoxical situation had a reason explained gaves dusky app called on the one hand. the factory continued to operate by accommodating belligerents who had settled around it, including dice. at the same time, as the embassies had closed and the french intelligence services were not present there at that time, french intelligence, lac informants. of course, everything has a cost and avoiding the med, evil brutality of the islamic state doesn't come for free. so how exactly does a european multinational manage to see a pretty, in the middle of the most brutal wars and decades? well, as usual, it's all about the money. it was our partner in syria. it was through him that amounts were paid to ensure the safe transport of our employees and materials to

pass through. we discovered that he also works for the french intelligence for renumeration. he explained that he collected intelligence through his contacts. each time he cross roadblocks, checkpoints set by armed groups on the roads. it appears that the state was perfectly aware to pass road blocks you had to pay. hence my question, how was the money that lafarge paid him used? what pockets did they fly into? the court never answered that question. so the grimy nexus between french corporate interests and their intelligence community is essentially laid bare. the hypocrisy is hard to ignore. and for many victims of the islamic state, it's hard to stomach with lafarge, a security chief revealing in great detail how he himself had gathered information and passed it directly to french intelligence. as soon as i had the information about these people, i would pass it on to the services i was sending them ron formation. i do not

filter the information. i was passing it to intelligence services. i told them everything. remarkably, these e mails also revealed that in 2014, the french government had even asked the united states not to bomb the le fairish plant close to the ice, a stronghold in rocca lobbying the americans to ensure the plant was put on what was chilly. you referred to us the appropriate list. this french investment should be protected. this is to confirm that the site mentioned by your interlocutor was mentioned by our military to the u. s. colleagues and is now registered on the appropriate list. unfortunately, the grim reality is that the cache paid to isis during this period of bizarre collaboration could have potentially funded the massacres of innocent french civilians and paris. another conveniently ignored truth, is that why willing to levy a $778000000.00 fine on the french company. the u. s. department of justice makes no mention of the gruel. b,

involvement of the french secret services. but like i said, it's all about the money ah, at the least developed countries conference and co tar. the president of the central african republic, gave a scathing speech toward the west, his treatment of his country to get more on the african liter speech. and the latest on the central african republic, we have an exclusive interview with the republics presidential spokesperson in money was lou. unfortunately, was to some countries driven us into poverty in his statement prison to adero. wanted to condemn just that the forward to facing the central african republic hasn't gone anywhere. we're still living unsafe conditions with all this crisis insurgence in armed formations, as our president noted, due to these factors remaining, our country continues to live in poverty. this is what president to other wanted to emphasize in his statement. seeking is a good deal, what i can say and all central african republic citizens. now this,

well is that since effort to gained independence for more than 60 years, we've lived through one crisis after another. all the decisions offered never helped us with still face armed formations, insurgencies and rebels. the cd do for president todd dera, decided to request assistance from a number of friendly countries who were ready to help us deal with the armed formations in rebels. he asked for help from russian federation, and russia came to the rescue as well as rhonda, which was also addressed by the president. they came to aid us. they held the central african republic armed forces repelled the armed formations and drive and surgeons from the republics territory. this alliance is i would call it with russian. rwanda allowed our armed forces to gain control of the most of the countries territory. because there was a time when armed formations were almost everywhere, with the help from our friends, from russia and rhonda, our army controls most of the land, who must gain control of the areas where mining operations are taking place, where the armed formations are active. now,

in order to take control of her country's development to morrow, mid to be our so our cooperation with what was then the ussr was fruitful in russia, they drained doctors, engineers, and teachers. we want to revive that system because all this crisis rebellions, wars have graded massive setbacks and human resource development are working great in universities. facilities of higher education, high schools dispenser is hospitals, infrastructure areas in concerning the c, a r's development. we're counting on cooperation with russia a lot in the field of universities. this includes preparing our teachers lectures by russian professors and now universities. it also includes training of our doctors and courses for students here. it also involves the training of engineers and insistence and building infrastructure that is worth of being called infrastructure. so we have the means to satisfy basic needs of for population. news, i don't know that it's like we count and he isn't acknowledged. it would allow us

to use our natural reaches. we're glad to have you. ever cons, understand burwell this see are with president flushed an arc and he had to our dera as his leader is ready to be open to the world and work from a position of good will. with all countries that are ready for mutually beneficial corporation. i have the resources you have that acknowledges. let us sit at the table and negotiate how we can move forward together. state sponsored terrorism, that's how orthodox months in kev describe. being physically entrapped in the lava monastery as unidentified individuals put locks on the buildings gate with police. looking on with this, we're now talking to you the door to crime. you are the representatives of the police. now they are holding somebody in sight. we don't have facilities right now to release them. just tell me you're here all the time. you saw who did this, close this building along the people in marshall. we didn't see the understand this

people are that as hostages. this is terrorism. it was a state sponsor terrorism. your witnesses, please do what is necessary. however, this very shows the law that was placed on a door at the monastery, according to local media and ambulance was dispatched to the scene as one disabled monks subsequently fell ill. the holy men were allegedly locked up by people working in the area. reports on the persecution of orthodox clergy have recently intensified any crane as he of the authorities attempt to cut national ties with russia. earlier the head of a church law was confined to help the house arrest for 60 days and was transferred to court hearings in spite of poor health conditions. we spoke with deputy chairman of the side note department for church relations, who is upset with the silence from human rights organizations. ukrainian authorities are now trying to destroy your grain,

you know the church and they didn't. they don't even try to hide their geniune intentions. and openly say. 6 that a ukrainian church should disappear from grain, and these declarations are totally barberick from any point of view from the point of christian well use from the point of religious freedoms. from the point of well, simple, humanitarian ready. they are ready to go for just straight take, you know, all the congregations, all the church, they just keep mapping priests over the ukraine of church someplace you will disappear that nobody knows. busy where they are, so this is total for total repression. so b,

o, the craig, and church and the, these all is done with a feeling of talk to a stories, elimination of the law like spiritual institution, like a place where where long sleeve is. it makes tap a big just action towards elimination or the tricia as a whole. and the soil is done without any reaction from the national. ready human rights, protecting bodies, total silence, no support for the ordinary believe us over the ukraine, also church. meanwhile, in the middle east, the christian community is also reportedly seen growing oppression being at the heart of 3 major religions. jerusalem is seeing an emerging crisis with christians

reporting a rising number of hate crimes r t 's. maria, for notion of reports from the city o jerusalem, heart of the holy land, where jesus is believed to have been born and preached without christians thus a gloom. he is still far away, but likely scenario, the greek orthodox patriot, he has warned, ah, every possibly rising number of hate crimes and incitement against followers of jesus is pushing them for their way. despite the efforts of the church or through the in dangerous many people, christians are leaving the country, leaving good jerusalem. and i don't want to came to the place as a museum. we wanted to keep it alive and they call the christians community in beth, i'm or in jerusalem, or in any part of the holy land. i call them the living stones. so they are the livings not the storm by themselves. father isa a palestinian orthodox priest, told me he was more than once,

spat on by young jewish salaries on the streets of the old city of jerusalem, just for wearing cross. the patriot, he believes that the violent youth have masters with messiah syndrome behind them, including from those close to the new israeli government. as new minister as have come from parties with an alter nationalist and religious, conservative ideology. this and this, and when i go and the let those are radical groups do up over the wall. i mean, well, you see young people in sincere soul than the google sort of thing to them. ok. they have their masters, behave, those know their, their repose. they're us them, but then they send them the end of the men dorothy hipaa law, while christians are under pressure and leaving the hell, the land are mass, israel extremist groups are responsible, father isa says the israeli logical groups or try to feel or to take

all the, the cushions areas and to kick actually the questions from these area and to keep it for all the visuals we need father isa, near the imperial hotel, at the entrance to the old city's christian quarter stats, away from iconic jaffer gate. there faulty room, 1800 square meter majestic building, belong to greek orthodox church since the end of the 19th century and was always a symbol of the christian presence. here, however, a covered deal almost 20 years ago. so the property sold to these rarely zionist group who has worked to establish a jewish majority in and around jerusalem for a paltry sum of $1250000.00. the man who signed the paper from the churches side has been on the run ever since wilder than patrick, who gave him power was dismissed shortly after the controversial sale that launched a year's long legal battle over its ownership and identity. the most recent high

court decision rejected there a trial lead from the church. now the hotels palestinian tenant is face an eviction . this is abby will lead the shaney and muslim by birth whose family rented this place from the greek orthodox church since 1949. it was long before israel seized the old city, 1967 and, and next later in a move that has never been recognized by most of the international community. he points to air 4000 pages caught document to deal with saying the battle for the building is far from just the proper to dispute. and the matter is political at heart. the fine in both maria is to keep. the job is in so the old city and the vote. christians and muslims from the woods. and once these people will dominique that would go over to sutton, or do i have a legal conflict for another 3 generation. i don't see any more christians living inside the old city. the greek orthodox is the largest and wealthiest church and

the whole the land had controls. massive real estate holdings, dating back hundreds of years. is there really a reason to worry? they pay tricky and johnny say yes. as draping water hallows out tone. they think god is dead, but busy. god gave them the land. god give them the land of funny. i let the people go to bed. they don't care is god the real estate my would be is there to give lynch. dr. do about the and this is in the back of them. i think they came back to jerusalem off to soften fears. it's erica honey whose executive director i interviewed, is behind a big number of property deals in and around old city, including the imperial hotel. its mission is to strengthen jewish roots and materialize a dream of jewish people who wanted to come back to jerusalem for 2000 years. it's never been the capital of any other country, any other so called nation. we are the pete, this is our country. this is,

we are the indigenous people here and so it will remain for eternity. years of activity of a terrorist, her name has turned ho quarter into predominantly jewish neighborhoods which poses 0 threat to other face. the director says, i think too much as they made out of the concept of christians. the greek orthodox church owns lots of property. they buy and sell property all the time. the christians aren't lucy at all. in fact, i think the cushions are any winning because both christians muslims and jews will be able to have beautiful hotels one day that they'll be able to say. and that is exactly what christian and muslim communities find hard to believe. there are solo, has historically been a town of 3 religions. it's all city where i am now has christian muslim and jewish quarters for now. fears are that if things continue developing the way they currently are, this center is old status quan. we'll see a radical change river ocean r r t from jerusalem. and russians and bower continued to expand

their cultural ties with the new monument, celebrating the soviet victory during world war 2 to be built near a museum in the african countries capital. zimbabwe sets of built a monument honoring russia's victory in the world. war 2 at the african museum, currently being constructed right here behind me in the capital, had ari visible government is trying to maintain it strong relationship with moscow as one of his greatest allies. both russia and zimbabwe are under international sanctions. the unique aspect our board, the museum of african to partition, is about telling and preserving the story of how african countries good, barely breaching from colonization. yes, we have seen a number of museum or all over and they tell different stories and different narratives, but ours is unique in that it totally talks about how people go deliberation,

how different countries good their independence from colonial masters. so ours used to tell the story and to preserve the narrative, often how african countries or daily reticence, zimbabwe is known for its close relationship with russia. the southern africans, nations liberation war, heroes have described. the move is another step towards strengthening the diplomatic ties between the 2 countries. the relationship between russians and bub where has helped me out 1st and foremost as, as above when citizen and it has helped me because i haven't managed to understand the impact of her countries that are not necessarily on the continent in being able to assist us. so our liberation came through from, ah, assistance that was derived from countries outside of the continent of which russia

was also one of the key players in assisting us. so as, as in bob, when i benefited from assistants militarily, um, to gain independence. my to be a significant addition to the african museum and is expected to abstract visitors from all over the world. donald trump has arrived in new york before his court hearing on criminal charges related to his rural and harsh money payments to a former porn star crowd have gathered near trump tower. as the former president prepares to go on trial, donald trump arrived in new york in a private jet and was greeted by a crowd of supporters and the world's press. he is to become the 1st former us president in history to face criminal charges. the president of el salvador says the prosecution of trump, damages the u. s. moral high ground when it comes to foreign policy.

imagine if this happened to leading a position, presidential candidate here in el salvador, sedley. it will be very hard for us foreign policy to use arguments such as democracy and free and fair elections, or tried to condemn political prosecution in other countries from now on. while often clamping down on domestic critics, the u. s. has repeatedly spoken out against similar cases and other countries. in 2021, secretary of state, anthony blinking condemned the convictions against opposition politicians target take on off ski in bella roost. the u. s. is closely watching indian congress liter raoul gandhi's court case with the politician disqualified following his criminal defamation case against the indian prime minister. the united states has also strongly condemned the conviction of opposition leader alexey no volley in russia, who is accused of large scale fraud and other crimes. be continued to reiterate.

our demand for his immediate and unconditional release from from being imprisoned over spurious charges after a sham trial, wrongly condemn the russian federation orchestration of a sham trial. to convict election of only and further spurious charges in sentencing him to 9 more years. in high security prison, we have announced key conclusions from an intelligence community assessment on the poisoning of alexi. no vonny. we have there's an ongoing review of other areas where we have ongoing concerns. earlier we spoke to civil rights attorney, robert patillo, who said that the trump trial actually benefits the former president and his ongoing campaign at you very little on the case of president trump, primarily because this is a state level charge job in the federal system. we have in the u. s, you have the federal government had about the president. the attorney general didn't have the state government in this case, new york, being headed headed by catherine hoko. this prosecutor come from a local district attorney on a what could be felony charge?

if we mattson were 4 years in prison normally for documents charged, there's no jail time and also in america are being can get through a felony. does not stop people holding federal or public office or let alone running for president. so even president trump is convicted of this will not stop him from running for office. it will not really impact this campaign. many people michel cervical side of the i, she said, really believe it helps us campaign going forward because he can play the victim card. i don't think is lisa want to leave political prosecution because of the political prosecution. they would have done in 2016 and stopped him for being president in the 1st place. and then i, even the timing of benefits was political. they would have indicted him in september of 2024. right. and for the election and not in march of 2023, when there's over a year and a half for this, we adjudicated. that's are out for the hour and coming up. russian president vladimir putin has offered to send free range shipments to africa after writing off more the sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. the figure which us, unless the cosigner as we speak on the new thing in which the mind the will ship

we're banding all in ports of russian oil and gas news. i know they plenty of those lower professor feds at the same for the with joe biden. and imposing the sanctions.
