the radical group was founded by a russian opposition oligarch in key. if with the stated aim of overthrowing the kremlin back in august, the same group which has been linked to ukrainian and religion. so they was responsible for killing another russian journalist, dairy, a duke and outside moscow. russian official say ukraine was directly responsible for both murders which he has denied. there's been no comments on the national republican armies, potential connection to the prime suspect in the talk to starsky. case study a trip over. she's accused of being a bringing and explosive hidden inside of to, to a public event. what the task was speaking in saint petersburg on sunday, the bum bloss killed the permanent war correspondent on the spot shut. the vote was detained shortly after the incident. she admitted to bringing the statue to the event. say she was unaware that was an explosive hidden inside is found guilty of terrorism. she faces up to 20 years behind bars. meanwhile,

some distressing service which has emerged on line showing the immediate aftermath of a sunday's cafe bowl. me a warning for you, the following images on graphics gives you the vibe of the talk of pictured outside the cafe, with many of them covered in blood as passes by try to assist those who being injured. the main suspected salary. a trap of it was also supported leaving the scene just moments on the last. some other footage filmed just before the deadly law shows the suspect presented to task with a statue and even being invited to sit next to him. it's not clear if she knew that the object had contained of explosive device. according to the late journalist's friends, the trip had been acquainted with the victim ortiz. the last quarter breaks down how events unfolded on a sunday evening like any other russian war correspondent bloodline to tar sky was

hosting an event centered around war zone journalism. here at this cafe, it was open admission. anyone could have attended and starsky told his audience of his stories of war around 6 15 pm. his life came to a sudden end after an explosion reduce the cafes interior to rubble. ah, she just took up the flute usa today. terrorist attack has just happened yet. while vlad lend to tar ski was speaking, there was an explosion in the bar. it seems that our speaker sions got. according to eye witnesses, the explosion came from a small statue that

a woman brought to the event a gift, apparently intended for to tar ski rushes investigative committee said it was looking into this incident as a murder and the police were on a manhunt to find the woman in question, media reports began to suggest that the main suspect in the case was a woman by the name of daria trap of a, someone who had been arrested before at anti government demonstrations. and had transferred money to an extremist organization called the anti corruption foundation. around 700 police officers were deployed across the city in search of trap of the police showed up at her door with automatic weapons and even rated the residence of her mother and sister. for the time being though she was nowhere to be found. the next day, the authorities found daria trap of a at a 4 rent apartment where the russian investigative committee later confirmed her detention. not long after that, the interior ministry released a video confession in which doria trip of a admits to bringing an explosive statuette to tar ski's event. do you understand

why you have been detained? i am detained, full being at the scene of flatland petoskey, killing. what have you done? i pause sachi that exploded us. well, who gave it to you? can i tell you later, rushes anti terrorism committee has determined that this was a terrorist attack, organized by kia with the help of agents from the aforementioned extremist organization. the anti corruption foundation here for its part has denied any involvement in this attack. as it did a year ago, when there was overwhelming evidence to suggest that key of agents had killed another high profile russian journalist. daria do gonna, with these civilian assassinations piling up and the west, turning a blind eye to key of roland them. it looks like the people who risked their lives to show the world. the truth are going to have to sleep with one eye open until this conflict is over. donald quarter r t st. petersburg, journalist and author daniela's on essays that ukraine's alleged involvement in the

assassination of the russian reporter is difficult to deny ukrainian governance. the claims of denials, involvement, cannot be taken face value. the cleaning government lied about the involvement in the area to gain a case assassination. and so there is no reason to believe its claim to the contrary, in this case, present to us as an idea of what's going on, especially after the 2 geena assassination. certainly, it's a good chance that the ukraine has agents, you know, operating quite widely, engagement, all kinds of highly provocative, highly dangerous activities. and the usaa probably has an idea of what's going on, but is probably giving them some kind of license to kill the u. s. should have known better after the real case. it should have kept closer tabs on

the the s b u clinton intelligence. and either it was incompetent and darrow elected and did not keep closer tabs or it has a fair idea of what's going on. and i suspect the latter voice, the un has condemned the absence of the global reaction to the murder of the prominent russian reporter accused international journalists associations of demonstrating a certain select goodness, last night. but the statement came as the un secretary general's office, expressed concern overflow petoskey. kelly would go more details of the story on the website bought the former c e. o of the world's largest cement manufacturer, power space. lafond has claimed that french intelligence infiltrated the 10 years ago and persuaded it to keep working inside territory held by islamic state in syria. last year,

the french company to guilty was fined in the us for paying terrorists almost $6000000.00 in exchange for keeping its factory in syria. i put a warning during the war that paris is currently investigating. lafond will complicity and crimes against humanity. he was healthy firms, x chief, had to say in his latest interview, the french media 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 in situations padlocks out paradoxes, situation had a reason, explained gayona's capital. on the one hand, the factory continued to operate by accommodating belligerents who had settled around it include in dire sh. 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. hopefully, this is a bit of under the, the company is suspected of giving money to isis to keep one of its factories running ah, of re, of the french who worked for lafarge,

were an important source of information. of course, 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 road blocks, checkpoints, set up 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 harder 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 did not fill to 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 la fires 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 their u. s. colleagues and is now registered on the appropriate list. unfortunately,

the grim reality is that the cash pay 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. finland is officially a member of nato, with the blog secretary general leanne stones and beg, welcoming the scandinavian country in to the alliance on tuesday. joining nato is sir. good for villain. it is good for nordic security. and it's good for nate or as a whole. finland brings substantial and highly capable forces, expertise on national resilience. and years of experience working side by side with

ne follows. i'm deeply proud to welcome finland as a full fledged member of our lines and response. moscow says it will strengthen his military posture as well as adopt other measures to mitigate would it cause threats from the new nato member that says washing defense minister should give, has reported. equipping bella bruce with his guns, a miss. all systems that can carry nuclear munitions, jazz nervously similar to storm on. some of the bellow, russian assault aircrafts have gained the ability to strike enemy targets with nuclear weapons. in addition, the iskander m tactical missile system has been transferred to the bell. russian forces. it can use miss house both conventional and nuclear versions from april 30th train of bel russian army has began on using iskander, m for the protection of the union state. as august with us. ukrainian units were

reported have been training in the use of escondido em tactical missiles much earlier this year. nevertheless, 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, ease again on the, the legs hitting of the russian border with native country. something that is incredibly sensitive to rush, 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, 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 you. craig, that the head of rushes, foreign intelligence service, met with the bell or some presidents on the same day. and what can you tell us about what was on the agenda during their meeting? they spoke, for example, about the, the conflicts 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 which ukraine seems to be determined to quash out and to replace 2nd marriage kid that of rushes for intelligence of a said that, you know, there are 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. more than that. they also spoke about poland and saying that poland hasn't given up on its plans to take over a western territories territories. that it says a, a, historically, poland, from ukraine evolve 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 would 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, a 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 book said again that is can, and the russian, the defense minister said he show you ringing,

alarm bells that and this guy and that an escalation is closer now than ever before . and as the u. s. lead block, officially it makes a new country. the alliance has reiterated as pansy funnel even more money to nominate and man, but ukraine. we will have the meeting with a foreign ministers today address so many different, unimportant 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, a strong support from united states to ukraine and, and we will discuss how to sustain on their proper support. ready to, to ukraine, but some of the blogs members, including hungary, on not happy to help ukraine. budapest says cubes. officials aren't welcome at nato events, either as cold on the ukrainian government to address the rights of ethnic hungarians in the country. the invitation of ukrainian foreign minister, dmitri calais,

but to a meeting of nato foreign ministers undermines the unity of the alliance. hungary will not support any integration of ukraine until the rights of trans scalp. adrian hungarians are restored. john, we hear that $17000000.00 were spent on military support to ukraine. but the economic support packages are far greater probably in the region of a 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, it has to be kept alive on a, on a lifecycle system. and the war is not going well for ukraine. 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 be, the man from their vote. 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 in this matter. is sweden's economy is already suffering very, very badly finance economies of a small economy to none has, has all its history existed at with and in very close her friendship with russia. so this is the sudden jump in into the, into the embrace of nato is a, is maybe a move of desperation. it is obviously also guided by my perceptions by the see fear that, that the d ness, if occasion of ukraine might one day be pushed forward into other european countries that also show of a strong renaissance of nazi ideologies and nazi hora. and in the us, donald trump has been released as

a fans full of rest. if i knew your cause, he pleaded not guilty to 34 charges of falsifying business records. during the 2016 election, they saw him become president. his attorney has brought the case against him. political prosecution. trump is the 1st form of us leader to face criminal charges . he's caleb moore, pin reports from outside the court house in manhattan. well, history was ne, near in new york city at the manhattan criminal court. we saw for the 1st time in american history, a former president was taken into court and charged with crimes. now donald trump was hit with $34.00 felony charges, all of them for falsifying business records. and this is related to a ledge. tosh. money being paid to pornographic films, star stormy daniels as well as a door man and the magazine that she was employed by. that's the allegation that was made. now donald trump, in his name,

say this is purely election interference. this is about trying to prevent him from successfully winning the presidency in 2024. and donald trump's legal team called is a sad day. donald trump came to the court house and it was a special arrangement. the secret service arranged for donald trump to briefly go into the police custody appear before the judge enter. he is not guilty plea and then leave the court house and it was certainly not like any other criminal proceeding. we didn't have a situation where the former president had a mug shot i was not fingerprinted. apparently he did give the judge a piece of his mind and he then left the building at the height of the day as the proceedings were going on. there were thousands and thousands of people here, there were police helicopters, there was an army of police guarding and protecting the building. i was quite as secure a scene of thousands of thousands of people turned out. now trump supporters, i say this is politically motivated,

it's an attempt to silence them. and many of trump detractors seem to agree with that. however, they say it's necessary because they see donald trump is dangerous to the american system, a racist, and a fascist. so quite a mixture of different views heard outside the court house today, and we will have to see how this proceeds. donald trump is facing felony charges. so if convicted, he could do prison time. however, i, his defense team says that this is a situation, these are crimes that are usually considered misdemeanors. they consider this to be a political move on the part of the district attorney of manhattan to gain credibility in the democratic party to be known as the guy who prosecuted trump also meddling and interfering with a potential or not a potential, but a presidential run of donald trump in 2024. so we shall just have to see how this proceeds. but this was a historic day. donald trump went for the judge, the 1st former president to ever face criminal charges. talk to host, see miles back face trumps bid to return to the white house of the next year's

election. is the main driving force behind the case against him? there are a lot of people on the democrat side who didn't want break to do this until the department of justice did their findings. and george's grand jury waited 1st. but this was what that by federal prosecutors when it happened. and they decided not to go after donald trump for violating election laws or anything else and brag. when he came into office, there was an ongoing investigation into trump. this was at the beginning of 2022. he stopped it. and then all of a sudden, trump announces he's running his way ahead in the polls over any, any possible competitor on the republican side. and boom, it's the investigations on again. so, i mean, it's so obvious that it's political. he ran the, the brag, the district attorney ran on saying he was good to go after donald trump. so, how more political could again, there was a c, n, n poll,

and i don't have any use for c, n, n. your way to the left. but the c n n poll showed 60 percent of americans supported the indictment. ok. 60 percent yet only 37 percent. and that same poll thought that trump did something illegal and 76 percent thought that the whole thing was political. so how could they support the indictment if they don't think he did something illegal? and they know it was political. so this is a crazy, crazy case. and they conflicting reports and murky investigations into last year's nodes, train pipeline, boning, nato officials of a poor city trying our best to avoid even talking about the sabotage which was blamed. only get west by pulitzer prize winning journalist, seymour hersh, and gather range of european and made to polish jamaica's officials have settled into a rhythm said once she ran european diplomats don't talk about no stream. let us so

little benefit from dig in to g plan. find in an uncomfortable on said the diplomat sat echo and send to mentioned several pairs in the countries who said they would rather not have to deal with the possibility that ukraine or allies were involved. this kind of reminds me of that famous line from the old brad pitt movie fight club . the 1st rule of nor extreme sabotage club is you don't talk about nord stream sabotage club. and well, as they say, ignorance is bliss, right? not having to quote deal with the possibility that ukraine or allies were involved, means that no one has to call into question this western unity narrative because an ally, me of blown something up that belong to a so called friend parentally. there are now even more new narratives or fairytales circulating about what may have happened to the pipelines. the new version for the washington post is at the yacht. the andromeda, which was previously said by the german press, citing unnamed german officials to have been rented from a polish company,

owned by a couple of ukrainians and set sail for report in rostock germy, 20 days before the nor streaming explosions before then being returned all politely nicely to the danish island of christiane, so where it was handed back to its owners is all absolutely nonsense. apparently, some other unnamed western officials are now telling the post that the yacht was likely not the only bo used, and may have even been a decoy to distract from the real killers, the real perpetrators. so hey, maybe arco man, did it, or aliens, or sub aquatic aliens, all these different versions, effectively, just muddy the waters. and guess what else would be really convenient? and he suggested that washington was involved as outlined in seymour hirsch's initial and very detailed reporting. and the big beneficiary of selling alan ged

europe to replace gas from russia is of course the u. s. and by the way, allergy prices are so high now that european energy regulators have just launched a benchmark price in an attempt to tame them. in the meantime, nord streams, germans, shareholders want to preserve the pipelines despite the damage. so german insurers alliance and munich re have just renewed their cover is a sign of hope that the infrastructure isn't yet totally dead and buried. particularly if relations with russia improve in the future. but some folks probably would not be too happy about that in g, i wonder who that might be. if russia invades manner, there will be, as we, there will be no longer on our stream to we, we will bring an end. i am. and i think administration is very gratified to know

that lord stream too is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these pipelines that is more streamlining from to what we're nod pumping gas into europe. that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for um, for the years to come, not to many ukrainians or poles in that particular mash up just a bunch of people who have who's obsession with ending nord stream has been conveniently forgotten. and all of these new scenarios being publicly paddled of more of the latest news that day. so you can check our website, r t dot com. thank you for choosing honesty, international ah, of called the conflict in ukraine, a war of attrition, others claim russia is pursuing its own strategy on its own time table. however,

there is ample evidence the camp regime is losing and badly. and this is why this stage of the conflict is so dangerous. some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities and other countries. the united states of america is different wherever people long to be free. they will find a friend in the united states, ah, with you, little bit about it all to anybody phase the only city if you draw the look at them both in same piece of each cigarette. 2 color revel. notions is one among several meanings to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them onto the help of u. s. western economic interest.
