ah. 2 ah, ah, senior us lawmakers suggest there might be an american military presence in taiwan . the j already views washington's involvement with the island as a breach of the one china policy. washington is deliberately provoking beijing, just like it did with moscow. that's the view of this. so can still podcast host does it? yes. and the latest episode of going underground have you believe c, u. s. has abandoned its previous policy. what is walking back on that because they know where china is fed by and just like what they do with keep on pushing

russia red line or she made it easy, were thousands of refugees and were run the place. having their already meagre ration slash and half with the world food program, saying it simply doesn't have enough funds. bad as large chunks of 8 are allocated to ukraine. we are starving, we eat only once a day, i suffer the heart attack due to hunger. the government and other stakeholders need to remember us, and the central african nation of chat borders, the german ambassador to pack his bags. i can't think him of making an diplomatic comment with coming to live from the russian capital business r t international. i'm rachel evans here with the latest news. welcome to the program. us republican congressman michael mccall,

who heads the house foreign affairs committee, believes washington will not hesitate to send troops to taiwan if it makes a move on the island. speaker mccarthy and yourself have said that multiple times now that we need to arm taiwan. now before there is any sort of invasion. what about u. s. troops? i think, you know, then you're talking about an authorized use of military force. what would come out of my committee or a declaration of war which we haven't you license war 2? would you support that? i think if, if the of china commerce, china invades tie one, i think that is, and certainly if the american people support this, the congress will fall. or the politician arrived as part of the us delegation to taiwan on thursday. while in washington house speaker, kevin mccarthy met with ty ones leader. despite china's objections in a potential response. beijing launched 3 days of large scale military drills near

the strait of taiwan on saturday. the chinese foreign ministry in them, the presence of u. s. officials in taiwan. i ran to stay. 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 use the pretext of democracy to support and connived with separatist forces and tie one for independence in order to contain china. this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. member, the hamilton coalition to stop the war. kennestone believes that u. s. officials need to tone down their war rhetoric and begin to accept that they're living in a multi polar world. now president m 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 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 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 stop treating countries that are other countries around the world that are rising in their development status as enemies and seek instead to realize that we're living now in a multi polar world,

the controversial visit to the us have tie ones present. it was the focus of the latest going underground show it welcome the host, the silk and steel podcast curls off to discuss china's red lines. here's a preview. what you think of this tie when he is lita 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 to she couldn't get a direct flight and had to fly through new york, which is presumably why she meant the democrat. told her house leader in the new york. and then on the i came jefferson on the way back to the reagan memorial library to meet kevin mccarthy, the number 2 in the us power structure that has speaking. yeah, i mean, of course you can get a direct line, right. i mean, the whole purpose of so called latin america is really come to us and to, you know, obviously challenge. ready science

a us no u. s. knows where scientists read by, you know, china, they say publicly, you know, i want to do whatever they want as long as they don't do not keep clear. ok, but now us lawmakers. ready are making a statement like time one is in country, we should respect time one song which is going back on their own commitment to one side of policy that was signed by president mason back in 1972 years a lie. so we formed a foundation on the final american relationship ever since. so you was walking back on that because they know were china's fair, why red light is and just like what they do with, keep on pushing rushes red line on pushing. they don't use the words they are now trying to push china's red line. i want you to understand for china with high,

just as ukraine issues or emotional issue for the russians or the chinese high one issue is a highly, emotionally charged issue that comes in japan moves closer than ever to becoming a defacto member of nato. canada says it's going to deploy military aircraft to the country tokyo. so that'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 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 endo 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 in 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, 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 shaped 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 by canada as part of a wider western strategy to contain china. this is a part of a group of chessboard ah, and lead by the united states and to contain and confront china, which is seen to be a pacing challenge and the appear rival ram to the u. s. and hedge many. and of course, you could look at the whole chest ford there on the 1st island chain and a 2nd line in chain al with american they will assist and circling china's eastern seaboard. ah. and then, and, and, and, and of course the, and in addition to our, for example, the 1st item change center in okinawa, the 2nd on the chain center in guam are there of course the, and monarch,

a straight outside singapore are controlled by the american 7th street and now you, as you just recorded at all, cuz i knew chris and 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 am newly invented a new pacific strategy and tracking as, as in india. again, the whole law alignment is the conn's contain and confront china and naturally china abuse. threatened because the us out on a c is china's life blood are all international trade and also supplied raw materials. and he says, you am ingredients for china's manufacturing power house and which 16 the stability of the chinese government. so naturally china leads to react and hence john is building a blue water navy. so you've got to look at this and an at present happening

ellwood, canada, japan, and all the rhetoric of all natal. i'm is only a candle raj, i to bring natal to asia pacific. a review of the chaos make us withdraw from afghanistan has been published by the white house national security council spokesperson, john kirby appeared before the media praising washington's actions of putting all of the blame on the previous administration of donald trump. the rapid pull out from the country, so us troops leave behind more than $7000000000.00 worth of military equipment. hundreds of people were killed including a number of us servicemen. nevertheless, kirby still remains proud of the fateful withdrawal. i remember going through all that for that's pretty remarkable.

ah, that airport was basically for all intents and purposes, american property a, i'm sorry, i just will buy the whole argument with all this. talk of the 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, a leak of classified u. s. documents about ukraine in china, which are circulating online is being urgently investigated by the pentagon. media

outlets site u. s. officials as claiming the files are genuine with one even admitting it's a quote nightmare for washington's intel agency. my colleague union o'neill discussed the revelations earlier with our t shake bows. it's an astounding air leak of over a 100 highly classified documents. and they were released widely on to 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. what, you know, we're looking at these and having a little bit of experience in this sort of area. they look exceptionally and valid at 2 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 in muscle watching the situation around the world, waiting to see what the development sorry, but we actually have a look at what the new york times actually 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. officials said a senior intelligence official called the league a nightmare for the 5 ice as so interestingly, they also mention in this trove of documents at china and the middle east. they're basically it intelligence that would be of interest. them 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 are significant mid military details mentioned in these documents about the buildup of

western equipment at when equipment is arriving at various ukrainian units, field intelligence, who is where, when equipment is due 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 that to the pentagon, i would imagine we have been in communication with the department of defense related to this matter and have begun an investigation. will 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, i'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 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 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 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 for we're fattening unofficial, michael mall, if questions, whether the whole story could be a dis,

information 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 get to russia as the audience. it would have been handled with 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 in 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 those 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 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 swollen, trying to understand who and who was involved in this. what appears to be a massive leaks. he, 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 long wolf who wanted to take it upon himself as to throw off and create an atmosphere of confusion tens of thousands of refugees in

the east african state of burundi. faith receiving only half of their daily ration needs. the world food program says is simply not getting the support 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 comes in burundi. the rushing coat, well worse and food insecurity and the nutritional status of refugees and could further exacerbate tensions between the host and refugee communities around the camps and transit centers un refugee agency. it says burundi is currently hosting more than $80000.00 refugees and asylum seekers. many fleeing home foot in the democratic republic of congo. according to the world food program, each person should be given cash or a food equivalent of $0.55 daily, but rations are now being haps due to funding shortfalls. and soaring food prices,

the war in ukraine has also seen the w. p. distribute more than $450000000.00 in cash to support ukrainians. the world bank ranks burundi as the poorest nation on earth. we heard from our free, geez, in the country, who said that they haven't actually seen food rations for almost a year. the world food program used to provide us with food. but it has been almost a year since they told us to wait for the used to give us rice, beans and oil. so we could feed our families. but now they have abandoned us. it is a horrible situation, but we are calling upon the head of state and other organizations for needed support, or we will die. you get to get a lot on your lottery. i have 3 children. i couldn't feed them all. so i had to send 2 of them to relatives in the city of belgium border. we are starving when we arrived here, the world food program provided food for us. since it stop doing so there has been

no other organization provide in health. we eat only once a day. i suffered a heart attack due to hunger. less food is not a problem as long as they bring us even a little of what they say they can provide. a lack of food and water is a major challenge we are facing. the government and other stakeholders need to remember us. take a look at the sobel. it's horrific place, 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. ah, the central african nation of chat has given the german ambassador 48 hours to pack his bags and leave the diplomat acute, still making divisive comments about child's government. and behavior said to be

not befitting 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 quick his previously so as a diplomat in new cher angola and there in the philippines. he was also a special representative of germany government in the what they called the as tables and states. and he has been serving as the chair, money, a buster, to childbirth since 2021 digit on those for i, for officer. very disappointed about these decisions. for us, the reasons was which the government of chat has declared alan beth trenton jemina descent non grants today. absolutely. and compensable, we are in contact with the government of chad on this matter. the child guffman is

still on his position. he is report bill is seen quite as an inch to 32 much and i think he's making the busy remark. the gout men of the chat says that the chairman, ah, so in germany received civil war warming about the but he didn't chance he the we talked a that's why been little decision to ask her beverly to change ambassador. they don't neatly laid the wall kibbler fossil monday and chad, the tree also got cycle. so companies all already made the decision to expend west them or diploma that they believe do not respect. oh they have, they miss the spec, fit the local governments, african regional analysts, mood mohammed ali believes that some countries are trying to lessen their

dependence on western powers. well, actually it is the beginning. by the time we'll see how this thing will go. maybe in the coming, coming month is going to be more and more africa has to be more independent from the bus on the trying to put some sort of not a country vehicle or nurse in the past. but us a foreign countries in the world that have their lives. i think they're trying to show that it's time to conditions to spin up to the pressure of not taking away the yes you have to do like what happened? 10 years, 2260 answer also the condition of trying to go more and more beyond capacity of diplomatic relations with their west and what's become something of a tradition. thousands of once again gathered into leave for

a weekly show of anger against the government's judicial reform plans, journalists and political analyst, amir or it takes us to the latest developments or 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 to hold the day. many people have gone out of town. others have perhaps 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 the reason not the reason the security forces and the medical unit can really role the country. but nevertheless, if hello, once, nathan young 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 demonstrations are going gone. and as for the feeling, it is that the wild, the country must take care of for security. the brought this must go on and be visual, although must be stop. the protest comes despite an attack and television. on friday evening, a car was ran into a crowd of people at a park on the sea front, which left to its telling and tourists and dead. and scores of people injured authorities had branded it an act of terror. local media reported the assailant was shot dead by police in response to a spike in such incidents. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the call

up of military and border police reserve. it the attack happened just hours after 2 israeli 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 was palestinian, and that a man hunt is under way. the latest cycle of violence erupted after idea forces conducted a raid on the all accent marks 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 ramming shows, israel's idea of solving everything by force does not work on palestine. because what is think that it can get, it could be sold by force. what is it? what with us, you know, as we witness list from them,

read off to you. yes. is because also the person who loves it under, with a very sensitive issue as on the line they will not allow good grade as the power to break it really on the students while she was waiting for the whole year to come to be out. but i'm about to be denied access, blah, blah, or remove my boss as we would need to do it tuesday and wednesday of this week. so it's a very romantic situation, and i think it goes out of promotional and regional with, with tuition. and the last and i think it is what it allows you to look, we'll watch a lot, then things will get come. i french court has forcefully shut down our t france, that it says it comes after last year. censorship measures taken by the european union and france shortly after the start of the russian offensive in ukraine. the european commission demanded all channels of r t n. sputnik in europe. the silence claiming they were propaganda tools of the

kremlin. and 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, provoke the anger of a number of journalists and trade unions. a french professor at the moscow state university believes that europe, traditional systems are being used as a political tool where you will have a katie, she's younger. we see from this 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. if they don't follow the needle line, the globalist line, we note the restriction of freedom of speech in europe and the closure party. the force liquidation of our t takes this process.
