ah, ah, ah, alleging the massive leak of classified printed documents does not reveal anything new that says questions remain about whether these documents been widely reported by western media or actually both intake. us republican senator marco rubio wants francis president mike long that the us could remove it, support for you, train and leave europe on its own to face the conflict. china conduct large scale, mostly drills in war to the space surrounding tie. one right off of the islands regional need their returns from meeting our high ranking us official in california, and the delegation of the need is leaves

a very warm welcome to you from the inter my international team. we're coming to you live from moscow. let's take a look at the top stories. this our questions remain about the authenticity of a massive league legit into the documents. being widely covered by the western media and response. russia is noted that it would not be an unprecedented case of washington spying on its allies. these creatures, nothing should be excluded. there have been some interesting leeks. every one is analyzing them and they are being widely discussed. the fact that the u. s. has been spying on some world leaders, especially european ones, has been revealed not just once. there have been many scandals. there is also a tendency to blame everything on russia. it's

a common obsession right now. they were initially released or discovered on the relatively on known a discord and fortune at chat sites. there, there were there for some time apparently before they were picked up. and the new york times did a story on this last friday. the leak of over a 100, very detailed and documents covering a huge range of topics and the western media has really picked up the ball and run with, with these as authentic, and we have a look at exactly what they're saying right now. more details are emerging about how an apparent trove of intelligence documents leaked under social media sites over the last few months. with the justice department investigation already underway, classified government documents covering not only ukraine, but other parts of the world have started showing up on social media. this appears to be a major compromise of pentagon seekers. they describe a range of u. s. intelligence activities, including america's spying operations around the world,

and iran and north korea's nuclear programs. time. something sensitive like this comes out of the pentagon leaks from the pentagon. it is taken very seriously by the administration plans about ukraine's their preparations for a, a much vaunted upcoming counter offensive. the papers also mention what the western intelligence agencies would call signals intelligence, which is basically information that has been harvested through spying and spying on their allies. also with south korea. and israel boat being mentioned air, you know, the western media is talking about dismay among these country, but the sauces are all listed as anonymous on cnn, et cetera. so, and we're kind of watching to see, are there going to be any more a statement so, so cree, the only countries actually made official statement. big hitters like israel of the u. k. remaining quiet on it. of course, ukraine has wrote in and suggested that the whole affair is essentially an elaborate roshan dis, information campaign to distract and deflect from

a confidence in their upcoming offensive. the aim of secret data leaks is obvious. divert attention, cast doubts, and mutual suspicions. so discord, it's an ordinary game of russian secret services we have to sort of look at the way the western media has really a, you know, swallow this little, hook, line, and sinker. there's very little questioning in the western media now as to the voracity, despite the fact that any confirmation of their authenticity is essentially from, you know, anonymous sources. and i suppose we have to think of, you know, the same. a western media has been very shy to question the u. s. government on for example, the nord stream affair, at their very silent on that, but on this particular subject, they're very vocal and seem to be, you know, a promoting the idea that they are definitely real. so i think we have to kind of be skeptical and have a look at this as it develops and it's probably

a story that will rumble on for some time. so i think, you know, the, the, the main view is a take it with a pinch of salt for now, and let's see how it develops and will keep you informed. independent geopolitical alice and also pepe escobar earlier told me that there are numerous inconsistencies in the leaked documents. look at many you and some of our viewers remember mad magazines, spy against spy cartoon in the sixty's, that was the black roll and the white crow. it was absolutely delirious, and this is something like that. but the problem is everybody on sweeter and telegram looked at the secret intel, which is not that secret when you actually read it. there are a lot of inconsistencies at the language, is pretty weird. the denominations of the weapon sometimes is a west cesar and russia sometimes is natal. it's not coherent at all. so you can see there is some sing gorgie about it. so you,

we don't know the details. of course, the pentagon is desperate to spin. this is a fake, but we know it's not a fake. it was leaked probably by an insider, according to their documents, assuming that they are true. they spy on every one in europe. all the 5 ice and massage, and people who are outside of, as i called it, nato stan including south korea. so everybody is treated like a vassal. ah, nobody is equal to the superpower in everybody's us by the phone. but this is something that we know for the past 75 years, but it doesn't you about that? according to the best russian military correspond, is on the terrain. the, the racial of casualties extend to one. according to these documents is more, alas, a 6.57 to one which is closer to the truth compared to what was being

spun by the america and to what the week ago. right. so obviously of ukrainians. the completely freaked out about that because it's more closer to the end, a few extrapolate to what could happen after the end of the current slaughter house in the mosque while it's going to be the rushes are be this direction strategy. what's brilliant about it is that they just tweak it what is essentially the same strategy come here, we're waiting for you, and then we apply our amazing machine. this is simply what they did, the knocked them off and worth brilliancy. and the most extraordinary thing in march, and i've said that i cannot believe that need to climbers did not see this coming frost is frozen back. lawn has been facing a barrage of criticism on line after he warned european proud to be wary of washington. he said the e u lacks his own old ptolemy and could become

a vassal of another global civil power. it was once a prominent republican congressman says, the u. s. consent all could end it support for you. great, and leave the conflict for europe to deal with when you ask europe, does he speak for them? because we're pretty heavily involved in ukraine. right now. we're spending a lot of our taxpayer money on a european line, and i've supported that because i think this in the national interest, the united states to be allies to our allies. but if our allies position, in fact, the chrome speaks for all of europe and their position now is they're not going to pick sides between the us and china over taiwan. maybe we shouldn't be picking sides either. maybe we should basically say we're going to focus on taiwan and threats to china, posters, and you guys handle ukraine and you know, that's what lived out to our t contributor rachel laws and rachel, great to see that this, this pro american lobby in the twist of this island as senior us congressmen,

gold congress. when all speaking out against french president, back one of his cooled for more e u. old tanami was the reasons for this. well, it sounds like sen rubio is playing the. how could you, after everything i've done for you card, now they're not co is 30 with china. yeah, washington, i've done so much for your opinion. great. which is why my call is pleaded with washington for lower prices on gas export to your from the us. now that the block is dependent on u. s. l. angie, after being encouraged by washington to cut off their chief fresh supply and the ukraine public is just so good for europe that my call is begging us lawmakers on a visit to washington last december to reconsider the impact of biden's protectionist inflation reduction act on european industry, which is the horrible, the energy shortages are skyrocketing prices as a result of europe blindly following washington's agenda on ukraine. so if the us

wants to europe handle ukraine alone or sen, rubio was threatening. well, there's a pretty good chance of peace breaking out. so maybe you didn't think that through very well because it's worth recalling that rubio is a strong advocate for killing off europe. snored stream pipeline with stations, and he hit the roof when biting considered lifting those sanctions that when it was mysteriously below up, rubio claim that it's just quote, common sense that russia did it, which is weird because there weren't any russian officials running around like rubio and its fellow american, neo cons word demanding its demise. now the panic over macros. comments has really hit fever pitch here on this side of the atlantic. also arkansas sen plan. cotton was just calling tv here. attacking michael over his this interest and blindly following washington into a conflict with china over ty, one at the risk of that conflict popping off militarily. cotton was most recently seen advocating also in favor of send

a american troops into us ally next door. neighbor mexico. offensively, to fit america's own bentonville drug probably sheet. but it's also noting that nicola, even further is statements about china than simply expressing this interest in being dragged into a new us like conflict over time on. and this is really been on reported my, who also expressed an understanding of china's position these ivy, taiwan. and according to the german press, the french president said quote, as europeans, our concern is unity. the chinese are also concerned with their unity and taiwan is a component of that unity. from their point of view, michael sure has mash yet. washington's attention in a hurry, right, president goes over to china, leaves with a massive new economic deal for air bus to sell 160 new commercial jets to china. and also a doubling of the french headquartered multinational production in the country. which ultimately amounts to a major victory over air buses,

they global rival and pentagon contractor, boeing. and on the way back on the french presidential playing michael had this. tiffany, the paradox would be that's overcome with panic with belief where just americans follow us. the caution europeans need to answer, is it a no interest took to the right across on taiwan? no, that was the would be to think that we, europeans, must be comfortable on this topic and take al q from the agenda and the chinese overreaction. it's worth noting if there's perhaps more going on here than me see i, if michael was using maybe his new position on china to pressure the us to get europe more to keep it on side with the u. s. because mac hole, who remember as the president of the country, that synonymous with seduction games, sounds like someone who has just given up pricey gift by a suitor and then flashes it to everyone in town. so it then gets back to their partner who hasn't given them much recently set headaches in the lower network. and

now that frustrated partner washington is pretty much act exactly as you'd expected, possessive love or the action frustration. nice also is good to have a matter of all i do love them. thanks so much for joining us here today. good speaking to talking to oh yeah, i spoke to aah, vice chairman other shanghai center for rem packed and international studies now. so one right here in this, you know, he said that europe is a hostage to conflicts where the u. s. demoss complete support. there is no need for china to, to try and separate europe from america. because china look at the world in a totally different approach that fire respecting everybody's interest and to, to look after its own inches to as well. but most importantly,

i think that china is presenting to the world as a different kind of global power. it's an interesting so that this how this is all playing out, you know, we had of us live on the land. we had macro on visiting china shortly after she simply was here in russia. yanking with was in the u. s. seems to think, well, my can't seem to think that the u. s. is using the e vasa as a, as a way to sort of, you know, push the u. s. is terms, do you think of us that could be a possible that that could be a possible know of advantage for the us if it has the e. u, as as a power piece? well, i think the europe has being understood to be supporting the u. s. a, whether it's willing lay or unwilling lay or, or being held hostage in a sense that's up to everybody's interpretation. i think europe has being

taken hostage in my view or when it comes to the ukrainian conflict, or you know, to, to be all the us side to support ukraine in a sales. but i think this trip of president mc crawl in china has reviewed that the europeans, or at least mac chrome, being one of the european leaders is coming to his senses. that it should actually look after their own interest. as i always say, facts are facts. because inflation is going up in europe and the cost of energy is going up like crazy of the last year. so it's people's, i'd say we're talking about when you have people that are not happy with what they have, the politicians, their leaders were have to think and to do something about it. 5

people have been killed in a mass shooting at a bank in the us state of kentucky. the victim included a police officer who was responded to the emergency cool. several other people were wounded in the incident, which happened on monday morning in downtown louisville authority, said the gunman, open fire, and the 1st floor conference room at the bank, local media reported that the police officer was shot in the head and the perpetrator is now dead aah! is to celebrations were held throughout many christian communities last sunday with orthodox faithful preparing to mock the holiday. this coming weekend when the vatican put frances have mass and st. peter's basilica, syrian catholics took part in easter festivities, add that tune church in damascus. and i'll take a observe is to sort of patients in south africa. and on this

day he shall rise. and so to rises. this densely populated township here in the east of johannesburg, called ivory park, where christians wake up with a verve of the day. and some do not even sleep as the usher in the day with us all. this is one of the most important days on the christian calendar. and this is how south africa celebrates. ah, what makes us do an overnight in church, on this particular sunday, is that we don't want to sleep in our houses because good friday is a remembrance of jesus when we look at this remembrance, it starts yes,

our hearts through taken off the body of christ so if you have accepted jesus christ to will touch you because one must take the body of christ with a glanced heart. and that is something that makes us not sleep and seen and prays jesus all. night long. i was told by speaking about our lord jesus christ from 1st day become back on friday to come back and speak. the 7 last words from jesus stomping in, leaves and trees, and we take him to the cross. we preach and we read from the bible and his holy church. oh, i see lie. i we here to ivory park as worshippers where praying for the horrible things we see happening in the township. we pray for our kids are kids or smoking drugs. we pray that they leave these drugs, those they kill our parents, we pray they stop the killing and come back to the house of god. that is what we're

preaching. ultimately is the means different things to different people. but here in africa, it just really centered around belief. terrible is that f o r t in alexander johnsborough. prayers in caves, say hood patch heads, elaborate site can only be said in the ukranian language from now on the latest restrictive step from the cave bracht orthodox church of ukraine. it follows weeks of arrest san harassments of mugs and worshippers, of the separate ukraine orthodox church. which is aligned with the moscow patriarchy, the nation's president appeared to turn a blind eye to all that. however, in his easter speech, i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who i celebrate and isa. today, we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. this is what religious freedom looks like. key of

style monks been evicted from a place they've called home for decades. the authorities been cheered on by people with nazi inspired tattoos and far right insignia. ah, that smell of european freedom. ah . and here's an ironic twist of fate, which some have called instant karma, according to witness. as doing one of the church trades and man snatched the priest's cross, threw it on the ground. and literally moments later the assailant died. if that's not a silent, i don't know what is. so what is at the heart of the matter, while t of is trying to cleanse its churches from anyone they deem pro russian ban in

their us language and its churches. and even threatening the leadership of the ukrainian orthodox church with jail time, accusing him of inciting religious hatred and justifying ross and aggression. the law and the responsibility for violating it are the same for every one and a cassock is no guarantee of pure intentions. rushes using religion to promote propaganda and divide ukrainian society, the leader of the monastery metropolitan puddle has now been placed under house arrest for 2 months. yeah. i didn't do anything wrong. i know this is a political case because i was told to switch to the key of backed orthodox church of ukraine, but i refused to. i was threatened. the security service of ukraine came to me and said a criminal case should opened against me. and it was, i don't know who planned it, i'm not going to figure out that because it's not my style to sell this. i'm a religious person. so watts if millions still follow him as part of the ukranian

orthodox church, not to be confused with the rival church created just 4 years ago, which was named the rather confusingly, the orthodox church of ukraine. the government decided to terminate a long held leeks. agreements with the old church and throw them out of the key of picturesque lava the new rival of church than silk over the orthodox christmas service in january. and now they're conducting east to services. there was even the previous ukrainian present bill that brought us and come make an appearance to no doubt demonstrate his supports and their stand in their frame. while ukrainian security forces are harassed, increase across the country, and essentially locking up the spiritual leader who had been there for years. and this though, the most famous one so far is just one of dozens of criminal cases against priest in the ukrainian orthodox church. here's another example, a priest opens his door and there are those ukrainian security forces once again

with accusations of a priest corporates and with russian soldiers and supports in the special military operation. we see orthodox christianity being raped, bullied and mocked right in front of us. the developed society keep silent, that's not what they were human rights declarations and reports on religious freedom for there will be better occasions like conferences of symposiums. there they will talk about high culture all this, despite the fact that the ukranian orthodox church has denied claims of endorsing so called russian propaganda, they even went as far as to officially caught their ties with russia last year. the church was under the wing of the moscow patriarch it for centuries bought. it made a formal break with a hierarchy in moscow as the humans after the special military operations began. but even that wasn't enough for caves, authorities and the purge continues a unique chance when everything could be resolved very quickly and painlessly was

during the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war than it was possible to simply physically clean out. many pro russians today, it's a little more difficult, but again, a little harder does not mean impossible. and today we must use legal and tough means to sweep them away. and here's another plan after the purge, according to ukraine's national security adviser, all the priest that have been detained will be used as the average to secure the release of captured ukrainian soldiers. and that seems to be okay with the international community. you know, not all citizens are aware that the priests of the moscow patrol kate are being exchanged for prisoners of war with great pleasure. and there has been more than one such action. where are all the human rights religious freedom love an act of us now? is this ok? the u. s. has previously sanctioned officials for similar violations, the persecution of religious minorities for example. oh,

by the way it's that was china, not at the cranium body. my bad, we've seen the wes regularly form at the mouth of our gay rights gender rights more . what about religious rights? does that not mean anything any more or only when it comes to ukraine, but it's all falling on the west death ears as no one is making a big deal out of priest. been thrown out and licked it, rated and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive view of russia, i guess they don't deserve human rights. good. who am on the prison? then i tell you mister president and all of your gang, our tears won't fall on the ground. they will fall on your head today. you think that by coming to power on our backs on our will, you can treat us like that. god will not forgive you and your family for this deed . because today in these holy moments, 220 brothers are thrown by you on the street. woe to you be afraid.

they got an exclusive comment on that from a serbian bishop, it says that no mass. so was the conflict, is the church is not out war and should not be persecuted. problem is we do whatever the problems between ukraine and russia or more general between the so called collective western russia, where ukraine serves as the main battle ground. no one has the moral right to track the church into this and not just a church, any religious community. it is unprecedented in world history for any one to try to divide the church and decide its fate to interfere in its organization and structure on the basis that most of them are of the same faith as the parties in the conflict. this is exactly what is happening now in ukraine. they have begun to consider the russian orthodox church as well as russia, as their enemies. more precisely, the ukrainian orthodox church, which has autonomy and is actually independent from the moscow patriarch it. but maintains contacts with it as do all other churches, including our own,

the serbian church in ukraine, esc is magic, illegal, and non existent, church is being promoted as a state church that is conducting an inquisition. we, clergy members cannot behave like some politicians. we cannot say that we are on the side of ukraine for example, and therefore for us, there are no victims or no suffering of the other side and vice versa. the common ukrainians didn't seek this conflict in the 1st place. it was forced upon them. this is why this kind of behavior towards the church is unacceptable. it is an attack on the heart of orthodoxy. in the broadest sense of the word, the laugh ra is a center of orthodoxy for eastern slavic people. even if someone does not like the concept of a russian world for ukrainian citizens, it is as sacred as for other people who lived in the one state for centuries. that was when there was still no concept of an independent ukraine to persecute the

church is to shoot ourselves in the foot. and as you cannot infringe on sanctuaries, whatever goals you are pursuing, the church is not at war. it cannot and should not be at war. this is a direct persecution of the church. i mean, conducting large scale and they see drills and it's high one as the others regional leader has its own trip to the u. s. she included a meeting with congressional house speaker, kevin mccarthy. those games are taking place in ass ways and was the surrounding tie one new mist, military jazz along with destroy ships and an aircraft carrier are taking part in the drills. the last day of the exercise is a u. s. naval ship sale through the waters of the south china sea, taiwanese official, say, the american vessel was providing support and coordination for taiwanese forces in case of an armed confrontation last month. russia's feet also carried out exercises

in the sea of japan, or the japanese leader visited cave c t. n calls for lynn explains the significance of the late fee drills this military dre all happening in. so i was sweet and also i found i one island and the eastern theatre command of the chinese people liberation army. stay that they try to have what they call an approaching gesture around tie one island on day to day stay. their focus was what was the so called simulated precision stripes. so this is very important because according to a research fellow of the academy of the military science of the p o h, this is the 1st time that's a stimulated precision strike him on target. in ty, one was mentioned in its official public report and the eastern command also released

a receiver. ready animation on sunday night about the simulated precision sprites, and we can see that the missiles were launched, a foaming rocket forced air force and also maybe force and target on several occasions in tie one. and also earlier you mention that this is also the 1st time that a aircraft carrier named the sun don't participate in the military trails. so i think this meter clearly excellent friends, the scale of the military. definitely not a record of this news out of interesting stories on all t dot com check out movie black, the top of the l a o i.
