ties and engineering projects, as well as support for students in daniel and lucon, so from on that do head of our websites, r t dot com well well we're going to continue with our news a program now the foreign ministers of long time rivals, iran and saudi arabia have held talks in beijing where they confirmed their intention to restore bilateral ties, will archie contribute that use of jelly has more on that? this is the 1st time in 7 years that senior officials from saudi arabia and iran take part and engage in a meeting in person. so the foreign minister saudi arabia's foreign minister based on been on and i want a counterpart who's saying i'm going up the law on med in beijing on thursday. the main goal of the meeting was to follow up on the recent beijing agreement,

which took place back in early march between the heads of security councils of the 2 countries were the 2 sides agreed to normalize size and resume embassies that engage more after 7 years of frosty relations. so today the 2 sides trust, they need to implement that agreement which took place in beijing down which was broken actually by china. back then. the science also decided to build mutual trust and do all in their power to contribute to the security and stability and peace in the region. as, as you know, there are many developments going on against this meeting, of course is done against the backdrop of many developments, including the saudi war on yemen. and the fate of that war has so far been decided after that agreement. i was strong in beijing. so it will, of course, the facts. so many developments in the region today,

the 2 sides decided to remove all obstacles to expand their ties in all levels. and in all areas, from politics, to economy and even security. they also agree to reopen their embassies and re all went on and also their consulates in the saudi city of jetta. and the iranian city of mash had the 2 sides also agreed to resume direct flights between we all and to run of course. so we want to saudi arabia also thank china for hosting the talks and hosting the meeting. and as you know, china played a major role instrumental role, and i normalizing the ties between saudi arabia and iran after 7 years of i. c relations that there have been several rounds of talks taking place and a man and in iraq are, but none led to the normalization of ties between of on, in saudi arabia. but the last one, a beijing really contributed and thought the ice between iran and saudi arabia

and the 2 sides also invited one another to take part in joint meetings in their respective countries. of course a ron and so there would be a, have been have, have been engaged in as i told you, several talks in, oh man, in a raw, i thought that back last one that broke her by china was effective in normalizing ties. and as you know, back in 2016, the 2 countries sever ties. after the angry at wanting students stormed the saudi embassy into iran, after re all executed the comp, shia cleric, no matter board number. and that led to the frosty relation between the 2 sides. now that the 2 sides are back and are resuming their ties, it is very, very significant steps ward, establishing and from of course,

fostering peace and security in the region. as i told you earlier, the fate of several developments in syria and in yemen will be decided after the 2 sides will engage more and will contribute more to the peace and security of the reject. sweden's prosecutor investigating the knoll stream pipeline explosions has called the destruction gross sabotage, committed by a group which is highly likely state sponsored. but it didn't say the choir pots allowed. there is no doubt that this is gross sabotage and international waters directed towards infrastructure whose owner is not connected to sweden. the focus for the sweetest investigation is primarily about examining if swedish interest or swedish security is threatened. if swedish territory was used to carry out the sabotage, this comes amid revelations from the award winning investigative journalist seymour hersh. he's reported that the washington's intelligence. honestly, i spent

a false narrative to western media an attempt to shift responsibility for the north stream pipeline blast away from washington on seas. mitchell madison has more for remember in hearses original reporting, he attributed the attack to a clan to stein u. s. intelligence operation in cooperation with norway and the 2 countries conveniently that have benefited from the replacement of russia gas experts to europe with their own. and her sat at the time that the biden administration and also the german chance are all i shoulds were in on the plot. and ever since hers published those details, we've been seeing stories in the mainstream western media, specifically in the u. s. and germany all attributing the sabotage to unnamed undefined pro ukrainian guys who rented via the andromeda from a polish company run by ukrainians and planted enough explosives, which by the way, they picked up just sitting there at

a jer port to blow through the pipeline steel incident. casing, now these press reports also underscored that no actual states were involved and especially not ukraine. these were just some, apparently random fans of ukraine were told people who just wanted to help out teen key f and in this new piece. now hersch goes into detail as to exactly why that version might make a great movie plot a parity as he calls it, but really lacks any basis in reality. hersh calls in a typical cia cover story, an alternative explanation that would have been concocted from the very 1st planning days of the intelligence operation. hersch discloses for the 1st time that he was contacted by the german journalist holger stark of deed site who published the story about the rented ya at the andromeda. and who insisted to hurst that the story came from german federal police sources investigating the incident and not

from any german or american intelligence officials. and her says that he accepted that. but he also explained that he was still left with a love when since chuck one off for the various j, as he shall so have been supplying fullness stories to the media. here in the broad, in what has been a successful effort to keep the world focused on any possible suspects outside of what has the most as the most logical one, the president of the united states. all right, so why the big rush and sudden interest? after all, washington officials have now taken the position that the north stream attack is a european issue that really has nothing to do with them. they have nothing to say about it really, and they've been pressed about it, but really nothing bad. they're certainly not interested in looking for the real killers yet they were apparently very invested according to this journalist and getting to that a detonated evidence before anyone else. hersh also recalls a discussion with an intelligence expert. he pointed out the devil in some of these

details, like how did these pro ukrainian fans of kiev managed to actually find the pipelines which are really small in comparison to the vastness of the baltic sea. it's not like you can just dial them in on google maps and be taken to the precise location. and we're told that they had just to divers on the team according to this story. remember, so unless there random fans of ukraine, we're also relatives of aqua man. or somehow sprouted gills. it's not like they would have had a limitless supply of oxygen to find an implant explosives and take all the time needed to do that. here's one versus intelligence experts said about these no stretchers in a world of professional analysts and operators. everyone will universally and correctly conclude from your story that the devilish ca concocted to counteract that is on its face. so ridiculous and childish that the real purpose was to

reinforce the truth. well, they probably didn't actually mean to bite the cover story, as the old saying goes, never ascribed to malice, working adequately be explained by incompetence of the bell of ocean present. alexander lucas jenko is in moscow for talks with vladimir putin, though numerous topics on the table for discussion, including the developments of their bilateral union states. both leaders were focused on the war in ukraine, which they say is stoked by the west, is what the bell russian president had to say. sonya pointed to, we have realized that the west is not our friend in the international arena. our countries are pursuing a coordinated foreign policy or co operation in the field. a foreign policy is an example for other departments. an effective system of defense and security of the allied state has been created within which the regional grouping of troops and the unified regional air defense system are successfully functioning. the steps taken

to strengthen border security, have made it possible to significantly increase the protection of the union state from international terrorism. uncontrolled migration flows, smuggling weapons, ammunition, drug trafficking and illegal economic activities. on this let's cost live down to our teeth, donald called to who's the kremlin. don. good afternoon. see what more. can you tell us about these tools, which we know, lucas sanker. untrue. tim. i there. hi there, peter. well, we actually just recently heard the initial statements from both the russian president and the baller russian president here at the meeting of the supreme council of the union state. and they both are a force that can successfully defend these 2 unions. the trafficking of weapons, he brought up the fact that this on ending is border regions. this is something that the forces commented on the fact that both russia and bella roosting up

nato's defense is more than ever because they've come to the have essentially failed. and now they're moving to this next step of what vladimir putin and alexander lucas jenco have said so far, adults, thank you. you know, islands independence. we are telling the democratic go all the way down the road of relying on the united states to seek in full force of the chinese sons and daughters to oppose independence. the thing with the several american officials including us house b, kevin mccarthy, not china views. the island as an integral part of the territory. a similar trip of scale military drills around the island of china allow for additional bases that to be used by american troops indefinite washington and western media though, insist that the beijing is acting aggressively wallkill americans. china is to blow really slow. molasses slow preparation says that washington is undertaking for war across the 2 sides of the taiwan style. independence and separatism is

a violation of the one johnny should be fully aware of the consequences of what is fleet rather them from holding peace and stability in the time being sovereignty and territorial integrity and defending to take child wasn't away as a sovereign independence separate at the peaceful read this nation. busy or real estate should be to such a violation of the sacred one turned offensive to call in the world. they rational, unrestrained regarding the war in ukraine community to be rational and was trained regarding the ukraine an issue as well. or the vice president also stressed his cousins on foreign territory, apparently referring to russia's deal with bella, ruth, and 5 european nato countries or during the sauce. as for the responsibility on the ukrainian is she to? she take responsibility. nater has no right to crit line to conflict. so, but by criticizing china,

supporting what those to you crying. don't forget that piece talks or pokes or who is the party that k me too. we will know what is going on is quite apparent to the, to the ukraine by sending weapons. this is not if you, anybody, if anybody is going to expect china to spat, i know, promotes a cease fly, promotes to play in the emerging multi polar world. but reforms are needed if an assist that a gave a sheen in an exclusive interview with archie then as needed as an organization. we're all conscious can express their positions of a multiple world and new centers of power or in the we want everyone to adhere to them. the countries of asia effort. a western countries are over represented in the un security council, or an efforts by the u. s. and it satellites to maintain the monopoly on to council . they move it to the general assembly. often propose and topics,

pay attention to how they do it. they apply unprecedented pressure to yup, lee and to pass decisions that only increase tensions are extremely of the you. and in fact, we are faced with the choice only either we make the un and a beating voting mechanism in the style of the colonial we swing. so, so each of the packets un secretary general, good terrorist who is keeping in mind the need to insure foot security, however, to well fed european countries, which are not in need breed, including african states. obstacles in terms of ange, remove 2 items. we've obstacles remain. there is no point in contingent justice news views and analysis rights here with us armored center. and i'm here to plead with you was my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else. look of it please. if you had a go ahead change and whatever you do, don't watch direct impact. but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change of

demonstrators to mom to stop supplying weapons to ukraine.
