but yes, with, with you as the officials investigate and the alleged leak of classified documents, which include plans for the war and ukraine, that's by rising concert. the document could be fake. as senior us lawmaker suggest there might be an american military presence in taiwan. beijing already views washington's involvement with the island, a breach of the one china policy. washington is deliberately provoking beijing, just like it did with moscow. that's the silicon still podcast, towed to the guest on the latest episode of going underground. and who believe the u. s. has abandoned, as previous policies you wanted,

walking back on that you know where china's bit light red light is just like what they do was flash. only push, keep on. pushing rushes red line, don't push nato. you see words and the central african nation of chad ordered the german ambassador to pack his bags, accusing him of making. i'm diplomatic comment. with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel evans here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. a leak of classified us documents about ukraine and china, which are circulating online is being urgently investigated by the pentagon. media outlets. site u. s. officials is claiming the files are genuine. with one even admitted it's a quote nightmare for washington intel agencies. my colleague unit o'neill,

discuss the revelations earlier with our t shay bows. it's the astounding air leak of over a 100 highly classified documents. and they were released widely on to social media as well, which means they've proliferated rapidly, globally as well. and it is a significant embarrassment for the, the western intelligence services, if you like, if they are indeed valid as so we've had a lot of speculation as their origin, their authenticity, of course, unit that claim and counter claim. but, you know, we're looking at these and having a little bit of experience in this sort of area. they look exceptionally a valid to, to a lot of observers. and if it is, if they're not actually genuine, there's been a huge amount of effort and resource put into making them look ex, actually genuine. a course you know, muscle watching the situation around the world waiting to see what the develop and sorry, but we actually have a look at what the new york times like he said, windshield the story. now,

analysts say more than 100 documents may have been obtained, along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging. u. s. official said, a senior intelligence official called the leak a nightmare for the 5 ice a. so interestingly, they also mention in this trove of documents at china and the middle east. they're mostly at intelligence that would be of interest. and would have been widely shared among what they called the 5 ice in the west, which is, australia, canada, and new zealand. that united king of the united states basically the anglo sphere of course. the key area of interest right now is what it says about the ukrainian offensive, which is apparently coming up much telegram the much advertised there. and there are significant military details mentioned in these documents about the buildup of western equipment. when equipment is arriving at various ukrainian units, field intelligence who is where, when equipment is an issue to arrive, and also fascinating about training strength. how well ukrainian troops have been

trained, how much equipment they've received, how long they're waiting for their equipment. so it's a, it's an exceptionally complex at trove of documents and it's a serious concern at the pentagon. i would imagine we have been in communication with the department of defense related to this matter and have begun and investigation. well, that leads us on to the big question, then j of who could be behind these leaks. just looking as well as to the fact that there's 2 separate probes into this by washington, you've got the pentagon, m, the justice department suggesting they're fearful, but more leaks emerging. yeah, of course. and i mean the nature of this, it will obviously bring allegations in the west as well that this is roshan interference and meddling. and we've already seen some of that now from the, from the western media. but of course, the nature these huge operations is there's so many people have access to data relating to logistics. these are huge, combined arms operations,

the likes of which we haven't seen in europe since the 2nd world war. so you've got a lot of people access to data. so it's very difficult to keep this absolutely watertight. of course, dmitri past cough in the kremlin, has suggested that this is proof a parent that nato has a granular and, and high level, a involvement in the operation of this conflict. so, you know, in, in, you know, in the round we can't for sure say who is behind this, who we know will be very difficult to find the source of course. and you know, we're gonna have to watch it as it develops you. and of course we'll, we'll get back and let you know soon as we know more, warmer padding, unofficial michael maloof questions whether the whole story could be a disinformation campaign. somebody with him, the bowels of the pentagon, were leaking information out and putting it on social media. which is

strange. because if it was, if the documents were real and they, they were, they would have been handled. and it was meant to get to the, the get to russia as the audience. it would have been handled a lot differently, not through social media. secondly, it's a number of the documents seem to be altered. i think that this was a very feeble effort at different this information, not misinformation, but dis, information effort by somebody within the pentagon to expose . but they would say what they would think would be considered sensitive documents by people who they probably didn't think would go and, and test the veracity of the out of the content. some of the things in there just

didn't make any sense. the pentagon in those documents are they are altered, we're, we're not a moscow. i one if they, she makes him use of military force. it would come out of my committee or a declaration of war, which we haven't, you license or to what you support that. i think if, if, if china congress, china invades tie one, i think that is certainly if the american people support this, the congress will follow. while the politician arrived as part of the us delegation to taiwan on thursday, while in washington house speaker, kevin mccarthy met with taiwan president despite china's objection and potential response, a launch 3 days of large military gal drills nearer the strait of taiwan on saturday. the chinese foreign ministry condemned the presence of us officials in taiwan. hi, melanie,

he pushed i. one is an inseparable part of china. china sovereignty and territorial integrity has never been divided and division won't be allowed. some countries hype up the false narrative of democracy versus authoritarianism and used a pretext of democracy to support and connive with separatist forces in taiwan for independence. in order to contain china, this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. she's going to go further in depth on this else cross live now to kennestone member of the hamilton coalition to stop the war can. it's great to have you on the program to day. now, what do you make of this statement from congressman mccall? do you think that washington will send its troops to taiwan? and what i make of mccall statement is the fact that is what norm chomsky terms manufacturing consent. in other words, preparing the american people for the coming war with china over taiwan. now president and g of china said one month ago that he looks forward to

a peaceful reunification with taiwan. but statements like mc calls and mccarthy's are didn't design to prepare the american people for war and are what motivates? mccaul, in particular, and mccarthy, ah, are there is the domestic audience in the states? the republicans like to accuse the democrats of being too soft on china while the democratic use the republicans of being too soft on russia. in actuality, they're both part of all of a singular war party that can't see any other way out of their a declining status. and loss of prestige in the world other than war and i it, we what really they need to do is to tone down the rhetoric and start treating countries that are other countries around the world that are rising in

their development status as enemies and sequence staff to realize that we're living now in a multi polar world. now do you think that washington is ready to face china in a direct conflict? and of course, for all the consequences that would come from that. i mean, we're not just talking about a military conflict, but also economically all of the ways that the u. s. relies on china. is that something that you think could be a possibility? unfortunately, it could be a possibility because the, the 2 wings ago war party in the united states right now are currently waging a proxy war against russia in ukraine. and according to you as general mina han, who is head of the u. s. air mobility core. as predicted, a war with china over taiwan as close as 2025. so yes, it definitely could happen. but are they ready for no?

a war with china would be on, which is a nuclear power, and which has allies in russia and iran, and many other countries of the world would be suicidal for the usa. and it might pro, you know, it might end in a nuclear confrontation which would be suicidal for all of humanity. not a good idea. i think you certainly same story running at world war 3 in a number of ways. now michael mccaul specifically says that if the american people support the decision to send us troops to taiwan, then they will be said, do you think that the american taxpayers that actually support u. s. military involvement in that way? this is a laughable idea when the us taxpayers, when did the canadian taxpayers ever get a vote on going to war? we never get a vote like that. countries don't even make form of declarations of war any more. but i will say this about the american people when they do get

a chance indirectly to vote for peace or against war, they taken in 2016 ab candidate. trump said he would and all the endless wars that the u. s. empire was engaged in and that got him a lot of support and help get him elected. unfortunately, once elected, he failed miserably at the task of ending all the u. s. and las wars. ah, but he still talking about it today. yet the american people are tired of this per permanent wars. they were there watching their standard of living declined dramatically as are we canadians, and they don't want war let's, that's clear a are far too many politicians promised thought and then do not deliver on it. can stone, we really appreciate your insight. we're actually going to cover a few more stories and then we'll come back to you in just a few minutes and be controversial. visit to

the us have tie ones president was the focus of the latest going underground. show it welcome the host of the silk and still podcast curls ought to discuss china's red lines. here is that preview what you think of this taiwanese leda arriving? i don't know why. why do you think she's even in the u. s. she said, she's going to guatemala and billy's, and it was just as she couldn't get a direct flight and had to fly through new york, which is presumably why she meant the democrat chalk, her house leader in the new york. and then on the i came jeffries and then on the way back in the reagan memorial library to meet kevin mccarthy. the number 2 in the us power structure, the house speaker. yeah, of course you can get into a flight, right. and the whole whole purpose of the so called latin american is really come to us and to publicly challenge shy for

lot it moves us. those us knows where china's read by china said publicly taiwan can do whatever they want, as long as they don't do not clear formal independence. but now us lawmakers are making a statement like tie one of the country. we should respect island sovereignty, which is going back there, all commitment to one side of the policy that was signed by president nathan back in 1972, we premier july we form the foundation on the final american relationship ever since. so us is walking back on that because they know we're trying to spread like red light it. and just like what they do is they keep on question russia red line on push to natal, east words they are now trying to push china. the red light on taiwan. understand for china with the pipe, just as ukrainian issue with a motional issue,

that rushes, the chinese tie one issue, the highly emotional recharge issue that comes as japan moved closer than ever to becoming a de facto member of nato. canada says it's going to deploy military aircraft to the country. tokyo says it's part of a plan to track north korean naval activity. but not everyone's convinced as our cheese donald quarter explains. the north atlantic treaty organization has been sticking its nose in the endo pacific. that's as japan's foreign minister is saying, it's time to get cosy with the supposedly defensive military alliance. the security of europe and that of the indo pacific region can no longer be discussed separately . that was my main message when i attended the nato ministerial meeting last year. for the 1st time as japanese foreign minister, these efforts cannot be made by japan alone, and we welcome the enhanced engagement of nato, its members and partner countries in the indo pacific. as tokyo declares,

it's looking to develop a deep strategic partnership with nato member state canada's wasted no time. and taking advantage of this new window to the pacific. it's already sent a military aircraft to japan with the stated intent of helping and force un sanctions against north korea. and while pyongyang has been under un sanctions since 2006, there's no mandate for any one power to enforce them. no auto has taken the liberty of appointing itself as a policeman of the pacific with japan as its deputy. together we are promoting a free and open indo pacific and protecting the international rules that keep us all safe. i thank japan. one of canada's most important defense partners in the in del pacific region for this strong relationship based on shared values, economic links, and people to people ties. what floor is that this japan nato partnership seems to have been in the works behind closed doors for a while. back in january and stoughton berg made an important visit to tokyo,

less than a month after japan unveiled its biggest military build up since world war 2. a $320000000000.00 plan to buy missiles capable of striking china and prepare japan for sustained conflict. on surprisingly, beijing feels threatened in its own back yard. b. u. s. indo pacific strategy is in fact an attempt to gang up to form exclusive blocks to provoke a confrontation by plotting in asia pacific version of nato. its goal is to undermine regional integration through decoupling cutting chains. the u. s. claimed shaped strategic environment in which china operates actually reveals the real purpose of its indo pacific strategy. that is to encircle china as japan re militarize this for the 1st time since world war 2 and canada asserts a military presence in the pacific. the western august military alliance seems to be preparing for war with china as well. specifically with australia planning to construct a nuclear powered submarine fleet. all things considered it doesn't exactly look

like nato was involved in defensive operations on the other side of the globe. for more and this, let's cross live now. once again to ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. now can we spoke earlier about taiwan, but the u. s. is also making similar moves with japan, and china says that it's being surrounded. do you think that beijing's concerns are justified? absolutely, beijing's concerns are justified. the u. s. has put a ring of military bases around china and it has made set up this august pact which canada is in favor of that we were so notified in response to a parliamentary petition. our coalition submitted to the government against caucus, but the parliamentary silk secretary mister oliphant says ok, it's is complimentary to canada's role in the pacific and that role is odd

according to its new. ready indo pacific strategy to spend about half a $1000000000.00 to send more warships to, to follow. busy along like ugly little ducklings behind the u. s. warships that sale between china and taiwan in the most provocative manner. and to build that a to increase the 5 ice intelligence neck worked capability in eastern asia. and finally, to help out other countries build up their ra, military resources in the asia pacific region, such as south korea, japan and india to be used as tools are, danced a china as a sentinel's against china. canada is part of this u. s. sentinel policy, which threatens china and to no good and it's going to bring about a war. and canada has been acting in the most foolish manner. because when we had

good relations with china for the past 4 or 5 decades, it was a time of great prosperity. it was a win win situation for china and for canada, and now canada under judo, arrested mung one joe. they closed down y way in canada, and now they're saber rattling against china. it's a very foolish policy. now on that topic. i've canada's involvement. i mean we're talking about a nato member. they're saying that they're set to base military surveillance aircraft in japan, at least temporarily. claiming that is all about keeping an eye on north korea. but what do you make of that decision? at its last don meeting, i think it was in madrid last year, natal officially recognized china as a threat to nato. and as for the 1st time, japan and south korea were present in the meeting. so what i believe canada is

doing is i'm being a little helper to the u. s. empire, just as it is in ukraine and is building up. i'm preparing for a war with china over taiwan, just as canada spent billions of dollars training soldiers training the, the new, an army of ukraine following the qu, it in 2014, in ukraine. so now canada wants to help build up these countries as prospective members of nato, as it expands to the pacific and takes on china. again, this is a suicidal move that will help no one except the war manufacturers. yes, certainly a lot of moving parts there. kennestone, member of the hamilton coalition to stop the war thing so much for your time and

for joining us to break all of this down o i review the chaotic us withdrawal from afghanistan has been published by the white house national security council spokesperson, john kirby appeared before the media praising washington's actions, while putting all of the blame on the previous administration of donald trump, the rapid pull out from the country side, u. s. troops leave behind more than $7000000000.00 worth of military equipment. hundreds of people were killed to including a number of us servicemen. nevertheless, kirby still remains proud of the fateful withdrawal. remember going through all that? ah, that's pretty remarkable. ah.

that airport was basically for all intents and purposes, american property. oh, i'm sorry. i just will buy the whole argument of chaos. for all this talk a chaos. i just didn't see a there was a lot that went right. so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. peter. the central african nation of chat has given the german ambassador 48 hours to pack his bags and leave the diplomatic cute, still making divisive comments about childs government and behavior said to be not bethany of his position. this decision of the government is motivated by the discourage his attitude and the non respect of diplomatic practices by the german

ambassador as prescribed by the vienna convention. because previously, so as a diplomat in new cher angola and in the philippines, it was also a special representative of but germany government in the what they called it as paperless signed states. and now he has been serving as the chair, money buster, to childbirth syn, sir. 2021 digit on the for i for officer. very disappointed. but this decisions for us, the reasons for which the government of chat has declared alan beth trenton, jemina bison, a non grad today. absolutely. and compensable, we are in contact with the government of chat on this matter. a child guffman is still on his position. he has report will, is seen quite as an inch to 32 much and i think he's making the

busy remark. the gout man, although the chart says that the chairman, i'm boss in german or received civil war warming about the but he didn't chance he be we talked or that's why been mid mid decision to ask her beverly to change ambassador, they don't need the lady all kibbler fossil, my lee and chad, the tree, our 2nd cycle. so companies all already made the decision to expend west them a diplomat or that they believe do not respect. oh, they have been disrespectful to the local governments, african regional analysts, mood and mohammed ali, believe some countries are trying to lessen their dependence on western powers, will actually is the beginning. by the time we'll see how this thing will go. maybe

in the coming coming months is going to be more african nish, us to be more independent from the bus on the trying to look as a country the colonized in the past. but as a foreign countries in the world to have the place, i think they're trying to show that it's time to conditions, to spin up to the pressure of the west. not taking away the yes. you have to do like what happened? 10 years 26. yes. it was so the condition of trying to work more and more beyond capacity of diplomatic relations with their west and what's become something of a tradition. thousands i've once again gathered until the v for a weekly show of anger against the government's judicial reform plans. journalist sam, political analyst, amir, or it takes us through the latest developments more than 3 months after these

demonstrations started to die. if he's a beat less noisy, less people have showed up for various reasons. the so holiday. many people have gone out of town. others i have had decided not to come over because of the terror acts, but there is no problem with security here. they demonstrate this feel very free and what they are doing now is refraining from marching up. the demonstration refraining from blocking the main roads so that if there is it not there easy, then the security forces and the medical unit can really role the country. but nevertheless, if once and then yell to stay lower because it is better for them.

and this is why they stop at the recent way, then they have not managed to get away. obviously, these illustrations are going gone. and as for the feeling here is that while the country must stay carol for security, the brought this must go on and be visual, although must be stopped. the protest, county despise an attack and television on friday evening, a car was rammed into a crowd of people out of park on the sea front, which left the trolley and tourist debt and scores of people injured. authorities have branded it a terror attack. already said the person killed wasn't italian tourists and local media reported. the assailant was shot dead by police and response to a spike. and such incidents. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the call up of military and border police reservate. the attack happened just hours after 2

was really women were killed and another person critically wounded. during a shooting in the west bank, medics and soldiers were quick to arrive at the theme. this aspect is currently at large israeli official claim. the man responsible was a palestinian and a man hunt.
