chelsea sto, lukia's motivation, says decency to gumble sub ah, russia claims the leak of classified pentagon documents about the warn you praying to reveal nothing new. that's us questions remain about the authenticity of the files. the u. s. could bullet support for ukraine to leave europe to face the conflict on its own. that's the warning to the french president for public and sen . entering choppy waters, attention spike in the pacific region, as a u. s. navy vessel sells through the south trying to see all beijing board major drills all around taiwan with

coming to live in the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of be our welcome to the program. questions are still being asked about the authenticity of document, supposedly leaked from the pentagon that happened making headlines, but russia noted it wouldn't be the 1st time washington spied on its friends. this creature, 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 at discord and fortune at chat sites. there were there some time apparently before they were picked up and the new york times did

a story on this last friday. the league 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 her preparations for a,

a much vaunted or coming a 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 a, you know, the western media is talking about dismay among these countries, but the sources are all listed as anonymous on cnn, etc. so, we're kind of watching to see, are there going to be any more statements? so korea, the only countries actually made the 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 rush and this information campaign to distract and deflect from. you know, 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 swallowed this hook, line, and sinker. there's very little questioning in the western media know as to the voracity, despite the fact that any confirmation of their authenticity is essentially from anonymous sources. and i suppose we have to think of, you know, the same western media has been very shy to question the u. s government on, for example, the nord stream affair. they're very silent on that, but on this particular subject they're very vocal and seem to be, you know, 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 room along for some time. so i think, you know, the main view is take it with a pinch of salt for now. and let's see how it develops. so we'll keep you informed independent,

but geopolitical analysts escobar claims there are numerous inconsistencies in the lease documents. look at movie you and some of our viewers remember mad magazines, spy against spy cartoon in the sixty's. now 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 twitter 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. did the nominations of the weapon sometimes is a west cesar and russia, sometimes it's natal. it's not coherent at all. so you can see there is something dodgy 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 fight upon. but this is something that we know for the past 75 years, right? there's nothing new about that. according to the best russian military correspond, is on the terrain. the, the racial or 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 that mosque. while it's going to be, the rushes are big. this, there is a strategy. what's bringing 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 all and loosen, listen. this is 2nd what they did. the knock them was indeed worth brilliancy. and the most extraordinary thing in martian, i've said that i can not believe that need to cleansers. didn't all see this coming . the new york times has published an article on the attack on russia's north stream pipelines. questioning whether it's in the public interest, you know, what really happened to back it's narrative that quotes a danish military analyst is 80 interests from the authorities to come out and say, who did this? there are strategic reasons for not revealing who did it, as long as they don't come out with anything substantial than we left in the dark

on all this as it should be. they attack on the pipeline game particular interest earlier this year on pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh published an investigation, claiming the whole thing had been orchestrated by the cia ever since the gas pipeline words hacked in september of last year. there's been huge speculation over who was responsible. russia found itself accuser blowing up its own infrastructure . moscow has pointed the finger at london, while washington recently crane claim that a pro ukrainian group was behind it. that new theory was questioned by the new york times article. although it provided no alternative explanation. so to go further in depth on this, let's cross live now to journalists and author daniela's there to discuss the controversial new york times article and it's topic. daniel, it's great to have you on the program today. now the new york times is questioning whether the public should know who blew up the pipeline. what is your take on that

approach? it's really unbelievable. i mean, since the, the pipeline with exploded last september, the official ex, explanation has gone through various stages. first, it was russia's fault, the one that didn't work because russia clearly had no incentive at all to both to blow up its own pipeline. when that didn't work, then the intelligence agencies in the u. s. and germany apparently planned to the story and us, and drum and media blenny at all on on non non governmental freelancers who apparently had used a 50 foot yard that they rented on a german put in a german port on the, on the baltic. and use that to plant the explosives. that didn't work either because the boat is clearly too small procession operation, which requires

a large scale military effort. so now they've run out of possible explanations. short of the obvious one which is of the us. and so therefore, now they're moving on to stage 3, which is to say that we don't want to know what, who blew the pipeline up, you don't to either, and therefore beneficial better for everyone if the public remains in the dark. this is completely absurd. it shows how absolutely desperate the intelligence agencies and the media are in their attempts to cover up this crime. it's not going to work. the truth will come out. and at this point, it seems increasingly clear that the responsible party was the united states. yeah, you know, as the one thing, if you have politicians coming out and saying, hey, let's not pay attention to this. we'll go over here,

move on to the next thing. but when you literally have the media coming out and making that argument for them, i mean, what kind of a message does that send? and do you expect other major western media publications to continue to do the same thing? and to kind of catch onto that theory of saying, well, maybe we shouldn't just talk about the north stream pipeline attacks anymore. let's just move on. yeah, i think they will, the washington post already published in the article saying essentially the same thing several days earlier. so yeah, i think that a few papers will try to, you know, to echo the same theme, but it's not going to work. the public won't stand for it because the more they say this, the more obvious it becomes that they are, they are trying to orchestrate silence and cover up the, you know, the question of who was truly responsible. and this is extraordinary because usually we look to the press to, to uncover things not to try to cover them up. but here is the media engaging in an

official cover up about a $20000000000.00 sabotaged operation, which cut off a major energy supply for, for germany and western europe in general. and they expect people to be quiet to stay quiet about it and not ask questions, but it's, it's absurd, obviously. yeah, it really is. and now, i mean, just looking at the context of this and really the precedent that it's such how dangerous is this situation where a certain political power can destroy crucial infrastructure anywhere in the world . and then enjoy complete impunity from it and even have the media argue that we should just move on by now. it's extraordinary, extraordinary. first of all, number one is an invitation to other countries to do the same thing. if north korea doesn't like, you know, doesn't like south korea media, why shouldn't north korea sent an underwater team to, to blow up a,

an underwater south korean cable? why should other countries do the same thing? and, and if the u. s. gets away with that, they will do the same thing. so we will have no anarchy as countries go about sabotaging each other's infrastructure. it's insane. but clearly, if no one calls the whistle on the us, the u. s. will i will feel emboldened to engage in similar acts. it's, it's, it's a crazy, a narcotic, chaotic situation. yeah, it really is becoming that now, where do you expect this to go from here? i mean, you mentioned that the public is not going to forget about this. is there any hope for a full and independent investigation? and is there any hope for that to lead to some sort of consequences for the perpetrator here? well, 1st of all, i think it's coming clearer by the day who was responsible and that plainly as the us number one, number 2 of the more of the u. s. tries to cover the cover this up,

the more apparent it's skill becomes number 3. this is a, a, a, a sword of damocles. sooner or later, it's going to drop and when the public realizes that the u. s. is, is without a doubt responsible for this act, then the consequences for nato will be extraordinary. i mean nato as a, as a, as a self defense alliance. so what happens when the, the chief member of nato, begins carrying out acts of war against another member of nato. and what is left of nato? the answer is going to be very little. so nato is, could very well blow up over the thing. in fact, i'm confident nato will. sooner rather than later. below up open the sentence. i have the irony in there of the fall or under a little bit too much. journalist and author, daniel, is there thanks so much for joining us and for your time and insight. thank you.

the brands as president has been facing a barrage of criticism after he warned european powers to be wary of washington, a menu macro, so the u locks its own autonomy. but in response to republican congressmen claim that the u. s. could end to support for ukraine and leave europe to deal with the war alone. when you ask europe, did you speak for them? because we're pretty heavily involved in ukraine. right now. we're spending a lot of our tax payer money on a european $1.00. and i've supported that because i think that's in the national interest to the united states, to be allies, to our allies, but in our allies position, in fact, chrome speaks for all of europe. and their position now is they're not going to pick side 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 the threat that china poses. and you guys handle ukraine and europe. it sounds like sen rubio

is playing the. how could you after everything i've done for you card now they're not cold with china. yeah, washington, i've done so much for europe in ukraine, which is why my call is pleated with washington for a lower prices on gas export to your from the us. now that the block is dependent on us l. n. g. after being encouraged by washington to cut off their chief russian supplies and the ukraine public is just so good for europe that michael was begging us lawmakers on a visit to washington last december to reconsider the impact of biting protectionist inflation reduction on european industry as a result of europe blindly following washington's agenda on ukraine. so if the us wants to let europe handle ukraine alone or sen, rubia 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, north st pipeline with nations. and he hit the roof when biting considered lifting

sanctions than when it was mysteriously blown 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 his 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 . a crown could not be clearer and even clearer parts were removed by political under request of the embassy in his v. taiwan is not europe's problem, and europe should not become vassals of the united states. this brutally on demands his credibility as leads in europe. my cronin joins shows in, in the lexicon of shame. for me, emanuel micron is a political disaster for the you, mainly contributing directly or indirectly to fractions. exactly what wouldn't expects. also arkansas sen plan cotton was just calling tv here,

attaching michael over his this interest in blindly following washington into 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 cindy american troops into us ally, next door neighbor mexico ostensibly to fix america's own fentanyl drug problems. but it's also noting that not co went even further in 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 reported not who also expressed an understanding of china's position. ve 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 managed to get washington's attention in

a hurry for president goes over to china, least with a massive new economic deal for air bus to sell a 116 in commercial jets to china. and also doubling of the french headquartered multinational production in the country, which ultimately amounts to a major victory over air buses. big. busy will rival and pentagon contractor bowie, and on the way back on the french presidential plane, michael 5, this pitany, the paradox would be vouch, overcome with panic were belief where just americans follow us. the question europeans need to answer. is it now interesting to the right to christ on taiwan know, there was thing would be to thing that we repeats must become full, was on this topic, and take our cue from the yes agenda and a chinese over action. it's worth noting if there's perhaps more going on here than meets the eye if michael was using maybe his new position on china to pressure the us to give europe more to keep it on 5 of the us. because mac hole, who remembers the president of the country that synonymous with seduction games,

don't like someone who was just given a pricey gift bias shooter and then blash it to everyone in town. so then get back to their partner who hasn't given them much, recently accept headaches in the lower network. and now that frustrated partner washington is pretty much acting exactly as you'd expect. the possessive lover to action frustration. the u. s. navy ship has sailed into the south trying to see at the time when beijing is conducting large scale exercises in the region. the war games were taking place in airspace and water surrounding taiwan, military aircraft, or company naval destroyers and an aircraft carrier, taiwanese official, say the american vessel was providing support and coordination for taiwanese forces in case of an armed confrontation last month. the russian fleet also carried out exercises in the sea of japan. a correspondence from the z dtn news network took us through the significance of the latest military drills. this military very all

happening in so i was sweet and also i found one iowa and the eastern theatre command of the chinese people's liberation. army say that they try to have what they call an approaching just around tie one island on day to day. 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 sciences of the p o h, this is the 1st time that a stimulated precision strike in on target. in tie, one was mentioned in its official public report, and the command also released a receipt animation on sunday night about the committee the position strikes. and we can see that the missiles were launched. to follow me. it's rocket corps,

air force and also maybe force and target on several locations in taiwan. 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 meters are clearly excellent lens, the scale of the military, definitely not a vacuum is really prime minister has backtrack on a promise to sac. the country's defense minister following mass protests on the streets of jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu announcement com, the thousands of israelis join senior government officials and a pro settlement march in the west bank. the march was led by the israeli national security minister ben giver as well as other cabinet and commenced members. givers said that the rally sent a message that israel was standing strong. the post that they walk to is considered an unauthorized settlement by the international community. and it was

a vacuum waited by the previous israeli government, the policy and in foreign ministry condemned to march as a provocative act shave fleischer is the advisor to the israeli national security minister. and he believes so. the key condition for peace in the region will be the return of his rallies to the west bank region. we have every right to live in our ancestral land. we are an indigenous people in this, in this place. we're not really settlers at all. we're really resellers, we have come back to assert our rights are self determination in our ancestral homeland and judea and samaria. this is the heartlands of the holy land. this is where we're from. this is where we're going to go. and we liberated that land in 1967, and we intend on indeed settling that land holding onto it, developing it, and really making it into a strong middle eastern country, which is really

a partner for middle east peace and progress. but the prerequisite for that is the jewish people's rights and their ancestor homeland. that's what the march was about . the most provocative thing for the palestinian leadership, not for every individual policy and but from felton and leadership is the existence of israel said it's just very provocative. for them and bothers them to know, and since they're a committed to the destruction of israel, the march comes at a time of rising tensions between israelis and palestinians falling last week. police, jerusalem, all ox. i'm off the verse rick, happen on wednesday morning when israeli forces form the building claiming dozens of young men. i tried to barricade themselves and sighed. i senior member of the palestinian group, hamas believe that western countries must apply more pressure on israel to ease tensions in the region. so i let them in the expansion of settlements see demolition of houses, the storming of the alex and mosque. that's what we need to respond to. if you want

to achieve. com and if you really want to reduce the escalation, try to put pressure on israel to stop this policy. and these actions. however, unfortunately neither the europeans nor the americans want this. every one who appeals to us once israel to continue its policy while palestinians do not respond, but such an outcome is impossible. we will not humiliate ourselves before israel and will not recognize it as our land. israel uses only the language of force, brutality and murder. to day in the west bank, we see many people being arrested, dozens of officials from different sides of person. the address me, all of them were seeking de escalation. but we have no other answer for them except that when not a party to what is happening to those who have been subjected to injustice and persecution, a palestinian so much. oh yes. if a month wow. from enemies to friends, or ron says that plans isn't a high level delegation, hasanti arabia. it follows that germanic thought and their ties,

which has seen diplomatic relations restored after 7 years in the wilderness, iranian foreign ministry, that it was not as good news for the 2 countries, but for the wider region. but i so, so based on the subjects agreed in beijing, which is based on the joint statement of the foreign ministers of both countries, the official ties between iran and saudi arabia has been resumed on a practical level under developing story about the iranian saudi normalization. he said that on saturday, a technical delegation from saudi arabia visited iran and is still in iran, paving the grounds for the reopening of the iranian, of this o. d embassy into juan, and the saudi consulate in the city of mash had. now we are expecting that a similar technical delegation from iran, from the islam of republic, to visit saudi arabia and of the city of rehab and the capital reordered, were an iranian embassy will start working. and also in the city of judah,

the saudi city of j, that were, and iranian consulate. well, the establish there, of course, saw that delegation will visit 3. although in the coming days can on he said in the coming 3 days, the impact, the positive impact of the normalization between iran and saudi arabia on regional and international levels. and he said that already it has played out very well in the region, a bilateral agreements between iran and saudi arabia for resuming ties have receive positive feedback on regional and international levels. therefore, able have a positive effects in the field of cooperation, increasing piece consistency, security and commercial and economic cooperation between iran in saudi arabia and other countries. we see that that normalization and there was option of ties was broken by china, a key player on the eastern block right now that country china, a host of the talks between iran and saudi arabia in the capitol,

beijing. and we see that on thursday, iranian and so the foreign ministers visited and the city of beijing and officially started the diplomatic ties between in the 2 countries. and kennedy also said that that specific occasion and the resumption, the official resumption of the ties wo bear many more positive consequences for the region and for the entire world when it comes to security. politics and even economy. a bomb attack targeting a police vehicle in western pakistan has reportedly left for people dead, including a young girl and 15, injured explicit had reportedly been planning on a motorbike. a local separatist group is said to have claimed responsibility as not the 1st time. police have been targeted in recent days on sunday, an arm group attack this squad, killing 2 officers, and in, during a 3rd, a local reporter sent us more details about the bomb attack. if we shouldn't take
