11:07 am
a full fledged member of our lines. or moscow has said that it will strengthen its military posture under dogs, other measures to mitigate we'll take calls, threats from the new member. this is the russian defense minister survey showing who has reported attending a nice kind of missile system to bella roost. the concurrent nuclear munitions generously some amount of storm on some of the bela russian assault aircraft must have gained the ability to strike enemy targets with nuclear weapons. since in addition, the iskander m tactical missile system has been transferred to the bell. russian forces he can use miss house is both conventional is can nuclear versions from april 30th string of bell russian army has began on using iskander am for the protection of the united states as august with arson. ukrainian units were reported have been training in the use of a scandal, m tactical missiles, much earlier this year. nevertheless,
11:08 am
this is confirmation. the russian defense minister said that now beller, us has the keep ability to use is con that and missiles it, he didn't say that they were supplied, of course, with the nuclear munitions. but he said that the systems themselves can be loaded with missiles to which are attached at nuclear munitions. he also spoke about nato, intensifying its anti russian course. he said that, apart from finland, joining nato, which you know, easy again on the, the legs hitting of the russian border with native country. something that is incredibly sensitive to rush to one of the underlying causes why this conflicts in ukraine began. he said that, that the room for an escalation has, has grown. nato hasn't changed its course and that it is determined to continue arming ukraine with nato weapons. and again, fueling this conflict as phony to weapons. the russian defense minister said that,
11:09 am
ah, many have been destroyed and continued to be destroyed, many vehicles, shipments of western missiles, of west than the munitions that are making their way into ukraine. that the head of russia's foreign intelligence service met with the bell or some presidents on the same day. what can you tell us about what was on the agenda during their meeting? they spoke, for example, about the, the conflict in ukraine, the religious conflict between the state and what of well, the biggest religious grouping in that is of the ukrainian orthodox church, canonical orthodoxy. witcher ukraine seems to be determined to quash out, to replace a secondary sketch that rushes for intelligence at a said that, you know, they're all the markings of a religious war now and you credit vote for ukraine for care of and for the west. there are no more red lines towards russia's more than that. they also spoke about
11:10 am
poland and saying that poland hasn't given up on its plans to take over the western territories territories that it says a historically, poland from you crave. all region, for example, user said that the poland is waiting for the right opportunity to seize these lands . and perhaps the red line for them will be if ukraine begins using these conflicts, evidently, losing this conflict and the poland will then strike. furthermore, he said that western states without pushing georgia to restart it's conflict with the breakaway republics, a city or south city and deposit to break away republics, which chose to break away from georgia, which eventually resulted in a short war with russia in 2008 again, a books, again, irish can and the russian, the defense minister said he show you ringing, alarm bells that and is scared that an escalation is closer now than ever before
11:11 am
will. and as the u. s. lead block officially admits a new country. the alliance has reiterated plans to channel more money to nominate so member ukraine. we will have the meeting with a foreign ministers today address many different and important issues. of course, ukraine is of the again, agenda will meet with mr. clever in the nato ukraine council. and i thank you so much for said false strong support from united states to ukraine and, and we will discuss how to sustain on their proper support to, to ukraine. or for more on this i'm joined live now by andre thomas 1000 german attorney and a meritus professor of law in south africa. andre, thank you very much for joining us this this evening. good evening, peter. good evening. good. good evening, m a. first of all, i just wanna get your thoughts on this development of nato. so finland joining nato
11:12 am
. well, i guess where the finland is, member of nato not. that doesn't really change the bigger picture. the bigger picture is that of a major problem, the most dangerous and major confrontation since world war 2. once again, between east and west, an old divide, a divide that has already once divided the catholic church into orthodox and catholic and which is again line d, everybody. everybody's reason. we hear that $70000000.00 were spent on military support. the ukraine at the economic support packages of far greater probably in the region over 150000000000 bilateral and multilateral because ukrainian economy is standing still. so a country of nominally 40000000 people has to be bankrolled. it has to be fed,
11:13 am
it has to be kept alive on a, on a life support system and the war is not going well for you. and so now nature is meeting is discussing how to continue supporting the ukraine. i guess most member states are coming to the limits of what they can demand from their about us and, and america is also becoming a little bit more reluctant to just pull more money into into a situation that will certainly not be resolved. and so do you think that the obviously, with the commitments that come with being a member of nato, the financial commitments, the minimum g d p contributions, do you think this will have an impact on the economies of, of finland, unsweetened, when he joins, eventually suddenly sweetens economy is already suffering very, very badly. finance economy is a very small economy not has, has all its history existed with and in very close friendship
11:14 am
with russia. so this, this sudden jumped into the, into the embrace of nato is, is maybe move off that fresh. it is obviously also guided by perceptions by the sea, fear that the d ness, if occasional ukraine, might one day be forward into other european countries that also show of a strong renaissance of, of nazi ideologies and nazi horror out and is probably the 1st in line for that so, but finland has little to contribute to terribly busy building offense. enormous cross as if it, as if it is afraid of wild animals crossing from russia at these things aren't really relevant. what is more relevant to the economic size?
11:15 am
european countries at the european union are facing dia, dia, economic recession. throughout europe, germany probably is already in the midst of a recession. what's america is booming? america spend essentially 5 percent of the defense budget, which fund erica is nothing on on driving and fueling and aggravating the conflict. and what is it? i guess we can return massive increase in ton of military industrial complex, massive new orders from military hardware from all over the world. and of course, a heavy toll on russia is economy and russia. us military stars. in the do you think that the sweden will be joining any time soon? or do you think that this, this, that disagreement with turkey over the, the sending back what will turkey believe to be is curtis terrorists will be
11:16 am
a sticking point for months to come? were in a phase, were too many things on revenue. a turkey is facing elections president ever got my electron enrollment pension turkey has been hit by the most devastating of cracks in recent decades. it has just the expel of the american ambassador. so i don't think turkey is, will consider swedish issues, much of a priority. sweden itself will probably see grounds, a ground swell in political change that cannot be much expectation attached to all, all those new small conflict areas abroad line is really what is now going to determine the future. and the broad line is, nature was not a democratic organization. it doesn't have representative assembly in the summary
11:17 am
of member states that doesn't vote actually the, the command of the supreme command of nature is always an american general, and he only responds to the american president. so a change in this whole country situation, a change for the, for the frozen front lines and europe can only come from the next american election in november, 2014. and it is very likely that the next american election will discontinue the the war on russia. and in that case, german minutes of defense disorders has already said completely insurmountable difficulties, but arise for the european members of nato to continue to sustain the kind of government you will have to wait and see while that's american election brings next year. but hopefully we'll have on the program before then. that's andre someone's house in german attorney and america's profession of lloyd, south africa. thanks so much for your time and your thoughts today. thank you. good
11:18 am
evening. ah, the former ceo of lafarge a syrian based french construction materials company has revealed the french intelligence services infiltrated the firm to continue activities in syria, and collaborated with terrorist groups like isis to do so. we learned that there was a special relationship between the french state, 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 terrorists. the french air force had been bombing since 2014 and who the french state had labelled as savages. but as
11:19 am
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 citrus shot padlocks out paradoxical situation had a reason explained beyond us gap coke 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, found french intelligence, lac informants. he decided on to the, the company is suspected of giving money to isis to keep one of its factories running. ah, re, of the french, who worked for lafarge were an important source of information. of course,
11:20 am
everything has a cost and avoiding the medieval brutality of the islamic state doesn't come for free. so how exactly does a european multinational manage to sit 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 crossed 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
11:21 am
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 raw information. 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 lafarge 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 as 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
11:22 am
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 group b, involvement of the french secret services. but like i said, it's all about the money ah, bill over to new york city now, where crowds are gathering outside the courts, where donald trump is expected to become the 1st for me as president to face criminal charges. now trump is reportedly facing dozens of felony charges for falsifying records, connected to a legit hush money payments to an adult film star stormy daniels, a claim the actress has denied for yes. blood is kellen, more pin joins as live now from outside the court in new york. caleb?
11:23 am
good evening, sir. and what's the latest on the ground? sure. well, we're here outside the courthouse and as you can see behind me a line of police as just form in order to secure the court house. there is a very big crowd approach asters, most supporters of donald trump and opponents of donald trump that have assembled now. george santos made a short appearance earlier. he is a member of the house of representatives who is the drums of border and marjorie taylor green. was on the scene and gave quite a long press conference, stating her support for donald trump. her belief that what is being done today at the courthouse. this rang, than is simply nothing more than a political maneuver intended to keep donald trump from running for president. and his crowd has been getting bigger and bigger and bigger as the day has gone on. now, donald trump is expected to appear for his arraignment at the court house around
11:24 am
$130.00 p. m local time. and its understood that because donald trump is a former us president, he will not be fingerprinted. he will not have to have a mug shot like most arrestees are, donald trump will be getting special treatment. the secret service is coordinating with the new york city police department to arrange his appearance and at his a rang meant i, he will have the charges against him formally read out. now those charges remain sealed, but it has been leaked to the media that it's not simply one charge. it is $33.00 different indictments, $33.00 felony charges against donald trump. all reportedly standing from the allegations surrounding the payment of cash money there, calling it and the falsification of record surrounding that to pornographic film star stormy daniels. now donald trump has denied this affair. stormy daniels has denied that she received any house money. but regardless, that seems to be the basis on which donald trump is facing these massive amount of
11:25 am
felony charges. this is historically unprecedented. never before have we had a u. s. president who has been charged with a crime, a former us president and the details surrounding this are quite unheard of. ah, now donald trump is expected to make his appearance here at the court house. i. he is calling this simply nothing more than election interference. he pointed out that it has been illegally leaked what the charges against him are, and that everything around this he argues, along with many of his supporters, is simply an attempt to prevent him from running in 2024 and many of his launches opponents and the republican party had said that they feel the same way. this is a manipulation of the criminal justice system in the united states for political. and now what's interesting is some of the protesters here say they agree with that . and they think yes, this is a manipulation of the legal system to stop trump, but they are okay with that because they see donald trump as a fascist, as a racist and a threat to the american way of life. so it's quite interesting the sentiments
11:26 am
we're seeing here outside the court house. i will be interesting to see how the proceedings go down inside the court house with donald trump not being processed. the way a normal arrestee would be processed in a historically unprecedented moment, a former president facing a criminal indictment and now an arraignment. and many wonder if this will indeed go to trial. if there will be a jury trial for donald trump in this case, or whether or not some kind of plea deal will be reached. there's many people asking questions about the local district attorney who brought the charges on asking questions about it. this is a political move he's trying to get attention for himself, trying to make him a name for himself is the man who prosecuted donald trump, a lot of anger at the prosecutor from trump supporters, a lot of support for the prosecutor among those roach, asking against donald trump and lots of media here. this is a media extravaganza. outside of 100 centers, 3 the manhattan district criminal court. here in new york city was totally surprised in such a media frenzy for such an unprecedented event. us ortiz,
11:27 am
a kaleb moping, i'll hope you keep us updated as things develop another news. the human rights council has adopted a draft resolution introduced by azerbaijan, which states that unilateral courses measures that violates human rights. with 33 members voting in favor, 13 against and mexico abstaining. all west members of the council, including the u. s. refuse to recognize the negative effects of such sanctions. where the votes are placed in geneva with members from the global self speaking out in favor of it been adopted. western european countries as well as the u. s. rejected it saying that sanctions are not intended to hom, ordinary people as a bi johnny and era trained representative said that unilateral measures are used as a tool for political pressure and to undermine economic progress. i don't all i movement at it's a t summit in 2019 re treated the movements objection to all your natural course of
11:28 am
measures including those measures used as tools for political or economic and financial met, pressure against any country in particular, against developing countries which, while it's the charter of the united nations rules and principles of international law, unilateral sanctions are brutal and in, he meant by that of it in it. and they collectively punish and undermine emission associate economic progress. discuss this live now with professor algae university laid zigler. me thank you very much for joining us this evening professor laid out now. now 1st of all, i just want to get your take on this resolution been adopted by the human rights and human rights council. i think i think of what i think me or your program, i think it's really openly over the select in the face of the company is over on this. explain, explain the device if you're between the companies
11:29 am
or they could not understand the conception and they don't understand understanding of human life. while the rest of the world, it's under for issue to revise it and there will be off. what does it, what is the concept of human life? why not, does the adoption of this resolution bring with its any practical changes? will sanctions be lifted? will people will countries think again about imposing them or is it just more of a symbolic statement? i don't think it's more than somebody, i would say it's a no somebody but it's more. but because at this point, if you could get people to gain do for the rest of the ones who have been fighting for their ice because they were in both western review with them on the human rights consumption concept. and therefore,
11:30 am
they should know the like it and really with the, from the he get money off. was that reviews it was them. what do you see over here monday, and therefore it's the ones that i have 4 more. i will say it would be more and more comprehensive and couldn't be of you. my life was just just one more question before we go, professor, how effective in general would you say that sanctions are in persuading countries to change that domestic or international policies? i think i think while it's it's, i would say it's a stuck in the bathroom, but it may take longer to change their, their bodies. but overall, under humanise governments, it has already opened a new for those countries who have been out.
