ah, for ah, u. s. officials investigate an election leak of classified document which include plans for the war, new crane, that's just by rising concert. the documents could be faith. i think your u. s. law maker, if they're just 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 for the as a silk and still podcast. host, who's a guest on the latest episode of going underground and you believe the u. s. has abandoned its previous policy. you want just walking back on that because they know we're trying to split light. red light is just like what they do is glochelle. we
4:01 pm
keep on pushing rushes, that line of push nato, using words and the central african nation of chad, orders the german ambassador to pack his bag, accusing him of making. i'm diplomatic comment with you. why, from the russian capital. this is r t international. i'm rachel evans here with the top stories of be 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, those claiming the files are genuine. with one even admitting it's a quote nightmare for washington's intel agencies. my colleague unit o'neill, discuss the revelations earlier with our t shave bows. it's the astounding air league of over
4:02 pm
a 100000 highly classified documents. and they were released widely on the social media as well, which means they 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 exceptionally genuine. a course, you know, must be watching the situation around the world waiting to see what the developments are. but we can 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,
4:03 pm
along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves. could be hugely damaging us officials 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 basically 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, new zealand, that united kingdom in the united states, basically the anglo sphere of course, the key area of interest right now is what it says about the ukraine, inoffensive, which is apparently coming up much telegram the much advertised a 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, or how much equipment they've received,
4:04 pm
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 an 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 about 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 russian interference and meddling. and we've already seen some of that now from the, from the western media. but of course, the nature of 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
4:05 pm
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 apparent that nato has a granular and high level. and, you know, 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 in. and of course we'll, we'll get back and let you know soon as we know more former pentagon official micah maloof questions whether the whole story could be a disinformation campaign. somebody within 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,
4:06 pm
they would have been handled. and it was meant to get to the, the get to russia as the audience. it would've been handled a lot differently. not through social media. secondly, the, 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 is really upset because those documents are
4:07 pm
even though they were altered we're, we're actually originated out of the pentagon, so they've got it. they've got their hands will and trying to understand who and who was involved in this what appears to be a massive leaks. even though the information may have been altered, it may have been, it may have been a concerted effort by the pentagon or it could have been a, a law was wanting to take it upon himself as to throw off and create an atmosphere of confusion. us republican congressman michael mccall, who had the house foreign affairs committee bullies, washington will not hesitate to send troops to taiwan if they make the move on the island. speaker. mccarthy and yourself have said that multiple times now that we
4:08 pm
need to arm taiwan. now, before there is any sort of invasion, what about us troops? i think, you know, then you're talking about been authorized use of military force. it would come out of my committee or a declaration of war, which we haven't, you license or to which you support that. i think if, if the 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 time ones president. despite china's objection and a potential response, asian launch, 3 days of large scale military girls near the strait of taiwan on saturday, the chinese foreign ministry condemned the presence of the us officials in taiwan time and he stay. one is an inseparable part of china. china sovereignty and territorial integrity has never been divided and division won't be allowed. some
4:09 pm
countries hype up the false narrative of democracy versus authoritarianism, and use the print text of democracy to support and cannot separate just forces and tie one for independence in order to contain china. this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. a member of the hamilton call ition to stop the war . kennestone believes us officials need to tone down their war rhetoric and begin to accept that they're living in a multi polar world. now president 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 designed to prepare the american people for war and are what motivates, may call 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
4:10 pm
democratic use the republicans of being too soft on russia in actuality, they're both. busy 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 talk down the rhetoric and stop treating countries that are other countries around the world that are rising in their development status as enemies and seeking sad to realize that we're living now in a multi polar world, what are the controversial visit to the us have tie one's president, was the folk i said the latest going underground show a welcome, the host of the silk and still podcast curls ought to discuss china's red lines. here is a preview. what you think of a this tie when he is leader arriving?
4:11 pm
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 met the democrat chalk, her house leader in the new yorker than on the akeem jefferson on the way back of 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 ship is really come to us and to publicly challenge shy, it is a highly lot, it moves us. those us knows where china's read by china state publicly taiwan can do whatever they want. as long as they don't do not clear, formal independence, but now us lawmakers are making
4:12 pm
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's own life we formed the foundation on the final american relationship ever since. so us 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 pushing. they don't use words. they are now trying to push china's red light on taiwan. understand for china with the pilot, just as you cranium issue with a motional issue of rushes for the chinese tie. one issue, the highly emotional recharge issue comes in. japan moved closer than ever to becoming

a defacto member of nato. canada says it's going to deploy military aircraft to the country tokyo. so this part of a plan to track north korean naval activity. but not everyone's convinced as r t 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 to military aircraft to japan,

with the stated and tens 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 india pacific and protecting the international rules that keep us all safe. i thank japan. one of canada's most important defense partners in the endo pacific region for this strong relationship based on shared values, economic links, and people to people ties. what's more 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 it's 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,
4:15 pm
beijing feels threatened and its own back yard us 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 shape, the 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 of 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 defense if operations on the other side of the globe, asian affairs specialists, andrew long believes that the move my canada as part of a wider western strategy to contain china. this is a part of
4:16 pm
a group of chessboard, ah, led by the united states and to contain and confront china, which is seen to be a pacing, challenge and near peer arrival am to the us and hedge many. and of course, you look at the whole chess board. there are the 1st island chain and a 2nd line in chain al, with american they will assist and circling china's eastern seaboard. ah, and, and, and, and, and, and of course the, and in addition to our, for example, to, for us iron chain center in okinawa, the 2nd on the chain center in guam are there of course the, and monarch a straight us. i think a poor are controlled by the american 7 feet. and now you as you just recorded, are all cuz i knew chris a marine deal with australia and end of life eyes alliance with canada. and you see the united kingdom and all focusing on china and now japan. and with this new
4:17 pm
am newly invented a new pacific strategy and tracking as, as in india. again, the whole lot alignment is the conn's, contain and confront china and naturally china abuse. threatened because the i south china sea is china's life blood or all the international trade and also supplied raw materials. and he sent you an ingredients for china's manufacturing power house and which 16 the stability of the chinese government. so naturally, china leads to react. and hence china's building a rule, what a navy. so you've got to look at this and, and at present happening ellwood, canada, japan, and all the rhetoric of our natal. i'm is only a candle branch i to bring natal to asia. pacific lag will now be a review at the chaotic us withdrawal from afghanistan has been published by the

4:19 pm
american property a, i'm sorry, i just will buy the whole argument with all these talk a chaos. i just didn't see a lot that went right. so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. tens of thousands of refugees and the east africans date of burundi face receiving only half of their daily ration needs. the world food program says it's simply not getting the support that it needs more than 56000 con gleese refugees will soon receive only half the food rations they need due to a dwindling of funding for food needs. in 5 camps in burundi. the russian cult will

4:22 pm
especially when it rains earlier. the world food program used to support the camp with 50 kilograms of maze. that was enough to feed our families for almost 2 months . we call upon whosoever for urgent help were in agony, since most of us, of widows and orphans were begging the government and the other stake holders to support us immediately. the central african nation of chad has given the german ambassador 48 hours to pack his bags and leave the diplomats are accused of making divisive comments about child's government and behavior said to be enough of any of his position. this decision of the government is motivated by the discovery 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 who was also

4:25 pm
a country recall or not 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 african nations who's been to the pressure of the west. not taking away the yes, you have to do like what happened then year 2260 as well. so the african nations are trying to go more and more beyond capacity of diplomatic relations with their west and what's become something of a tradition. thousands have once again gathered and tell a v for a weekly show of anger against the government's judicial reform plants, journalists, and political analyst, amir or it takes us to the latest developments more than 3 months after these demonstrations started to die. is it be less noisy? less people have showed up for various reasons. it's a holiday. many people have gone out of town. others have perhaps decided not
4:26 pm
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 the reason not their incident, the security forces and the medical unit can really role the country. but nevertheless, if one smith and yell to staying power because it is better for them. and this is why they stop at the recent way. then they have not managed to get the way. obviously, these demonstrations are going gone. and as far as the feeling here
4:27 pm
is that while the country must take care of for security, the brought this must go on and be visual, although must be stop. the protests counted just by an attack in tel aviv on friday evening, a car was ran into a crowd of people out of park on the sea front, which left an italian tourist dead and scores of people injured authorities. i branded it an act of terror. other already said the person killed was an italian tourist and local media reported the assailant was shot dead by police in response to a spike. as such, incidents, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the call up of military and border police reserve. it they attack happened just hours after she 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 scene. this aspect is currently at large israeli officials claim the man responsible with the palestinian and the man
4:28 pm
hunt is under way. the latest cycle of violence are rusted after idea of forces conducted arrayed on the ox. on month on wednesday, it was packed with palestinian worshippers at the time. another rate was carried out on thursday triggering the escalation, political analysts, mohammed now he says, friday's car ram, it shows israel's idea of solving everything. my force does not work on palestine. i think that's it, everything good could be sold by force. what is the, what was the soonest as we with the sender listener from the real say yes is because also there were some who love that under list come to the place, a very sensitive issue as well. that was that there is started lying and they will not allow good grade is the power to break? it really obviously was she was waiting for the what are you going to be on hold on to be denied access to a law or remove bipolar asthma. we weekly the, during the day on the wednesday of this week. so it's
4:29 pm
a very romantic situation on garcia, verizon permissional and region on with israel, who is the situation in alaska. and i think it is where in the law i'm going to look, what should alexa then? things when you're gone. i french court has forcefully shut down r t france. the decision comes after your last year's censorship measures taken by the european union in france, shortly after the start of the russian offensive. and ukraine, bigger opin commissioner demanded all channels of r t and sputnik in europe, a silence claiming they were propaganda. jewels of the kremlin, in january of this year, the french treasury decided to freeze our t frances assets this weeks final sanction imposed by the french authorities. once again provoked the anger of a number of journalists and trade unions. a french professor at the moscow state university believes that europe's judicial system are being used as
4:30 pm
a political tool move where you want to make the decision good. we see from the decision which was made by the way, by the french court that today within this framework, within the framework of the ukrainian conflict, the judicial system is being used as a political tool. it is impossible not to recall that r t has been under sanctions for several months even years because it did not distribute the so called correct information. the number of restrictions and journalists and the media is growing. you don't follow the needle line, the globalist line. we note the restriction of freedom of speech in europe and the closure of r t, the force liquidation of r t takes this process to new level one. we're also talking about the elimination of freedom of speech. this without freedom of speech, it's difficult to have freedom of thought because it will become increasingly difficult for people to access different points of view. which means that we're coming to political system that controls more and more people's thoughts. so we're slowly entering a system built in the model of a dictatorship.
