oh, ah, ah ah, russia claims a leak of classified pentagon documents about the war and you praise, reveal nothing new that those questions remain about the authenticity of the files you as could polish support for ukraine and lead europe to face the conflict on its own. the warning to the front president for more republican senator entering choppy waters tension spike in the pacific region has with us navy vessel sales through the south trying to see all while bay holes major drills all around. hi. want with

coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins, here with the top stories of the 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 20 this creature. nothing should be excluded or have been some interesting leaks. everyone is analyzing them and they are being widely discussed. the fact that the u . s. has been spying on world leader in this, especially european one, has been revealed not just one percent. you know, you have been many scandals. there is also a tendency to blame everything on russia in a session right now. they were initially release or discovered on the relatively unknown, at discord and 4 shots. so it's,

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 league of over a 100, very detailed 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 can 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 secrets. they describe a range of us intelligence activities, including american spying operations around the world and the wrong. and north korea's nuclear programs. time, something sensitive like this comes out of the pentagon leaks from the pentagon. it

has taken very seriously by the administration plans of a ukraine's in preparation for a, a much vaunted upcoming counter offensive. the papers also mentioned what the western intelligence agencies would call signals intelligence, which is basically information that has been harvested to spying and spying on their aloe is also with south korea. and israel both being mentioned. you know, the western media is talking about dismay among these country, 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 or 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 all vs

divert attention. cost 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 now 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, and 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 alone 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 developed. so we'll keep you informed

. independent geopolitical analysts pepe escobar claimed there are numerous inconsistencies in the lease documents. look at many you and so 10 is remember mad magazines, spy against spy cartoon in the sixty's, that was the black crow 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 weapons sometimes is ussr and russia sometimes is natal. it's not coherent at all. so you can see there is some st. georgia about and 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, right? there's nothing new about that, according to the best russian military correspondence on the terrain that 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 be this, the russian 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 our leasing machine. this is simply what they did, the knock them off, they need worth brilliancy. and the most extraordinary thing in martian. i've said that i cannot believe that ne took lenders didn't asi disc. frances president has been facing a barrage of criticism after he warned european powers to be wary of washington. a manual macross said the e u lacks its own autonomy, but in response to republican congressman claim that the u. s. good end is support for ukraine and leave euro to deal with the war alone. we need to 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 line. and i've supported that because i think this in the national interest to the united states to be allies, to our allies. but in our allies position, in fact, crone speaks for all of europe and their position now is they're not going to pick sides between the us and china, or taiwan. maybe we shouldn't be picking sides either. maybe we should basically say we're going to focus on taiwan and the threats 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 the knuckle is 40 with china? yeah, washington has done so much for europe in ukraine, which is why my call is pleaded 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 rush and supplies, and the ukraine conflict is just so good for europe that michael would begging us

lawmakers on a visit to washington last december to. ringback reconsider the impact of biden's, protectionist inflation reduction on european industry as a result of europe blindly following washington's agenda on ukraine. so if the us wants to europe handle ukraine alone and 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 was a strong advocate for killing off europe snored stream pipeline with stations, and he hit the roof when biting. consider lifting sanctions that 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 mack holes comments has really hit fever pitch here on this side of the atlantic. a crown could not be clearer, and even clearer pots were removed by political under request of the embassy in his

v. taiwan is not europe's problem, and europe should not become vessels of the united states is brutally on demons, 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 for exit. exactly what good and expects also arkansas sen plan. cotton was just calling tv here. attaching my call over his this interest and 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 sunday american troops into us ally next door. neighbor, mexico, a sense of me 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

disinterested 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 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 the president goes over to china, least with them to sell 160 new commercial can only amounts to a major victory people 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 agenda and the chinese of erection. it's worth noting if there's perhaps more going on here than meets the eye as 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 michael, who remembers the president of the country that synonymous with seduction games, don't like someone who is just given a pricey gift bias tutor. 6 and then washes it to everyone in town, so then get back to their partner who hadn'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. a possessive lover to action frustration. a u. s. navy ship has sailed into the office trying to see the time when beijing is conducting large scale exercises in the region. so we're, we're taking place in airspace and water surrounding taiwan, military aircraft, or company naval destroyers and an aircraft carrier, taiwanese officials say the american vessel was providing support and coordination for taiwanese forces in case of an armed confrontation last month, or russian fleet also carried out exercises in the sea of japan,

a correspondent from the sea 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 2. they said their focus was what was called simulated proficient stripes. so this is very important because according to a research fellow of the academy of the military sciences of the p o late, 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 eastern command also

a animation on sunday night about the committee the physician strikes. and we can see that the missiles were launched, a long walk, it forced air force and maybe force and target on several occasions 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 sheet. so i think this meters clearly learning the scale of the military. definitely not around taiwan. com as the islands leader has been in washington. i'd be invitation of the us house speaker, but her decision to travel their house is just provoked, criticism abroad. it's not gone down all that well at home either. you can read all about that and a whole lot more by having to our website r t dot com. the israeli prime minister has backtrack

promise de sac. the country's defense minister following mass protest on the streets of jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu announcement comes in thousands of israelis join senior government and shells and a pro settlement march and the west bank. the march was led by the israeli national security minister ban giver, as well as other cabinet and can us that members giver so that the rally sent a message that israel was standing strong. the tar out post that they want to is considered an unauthorized settlement by the international community. and it was evacuated by the previous israeli government. the palestinian foreign ministry condemned the march as a provocative act. a middle east and islam researcher we heard from doesn't believe that israel will take such condemnation seriously. we jews believe that this is our country, o, historical country, way before our upscale to this country. and we were led to exile for 2000 deals

and we were in exile in many places are included. and so finally we came back to our forefathers in them and we should dare the ability to permission to settle wherever we like. and. ringback wherever we want the palestinian authority anyway doesn't to view is learned as a legitimate state is a does look appeal in those schoolbooks, a maps. and so way a we don't take them too seriously because they they anyway, our enemies and they anyway want to establish the policy new state on the winds over the state, the fees like so. well, let them say, would they say in good? it's okay we can leave with the march comes at a time of rising tensions between israelis and palestinians, calling last week. police freight on jerusalem, all ok, some mosque during the muslim holy month of ramadan. the 1st rate happen on

wednesday morning when israeli forces from the building using tear gas against palestinian worshippers. israeli police allege that dozens of young men carrying rocks and fire crackers had tried to barricade themselves inside a senior member of the palestinian group. hamas believes that western countries must apply more pressure on israel to ease tensions in the region. saw you let out on it in the expansion of settlements, c, demolition of houses, the storming of the annex moscow. that's what we need to respond to from what you want to achieve. com. and if you really want to reduce the escalation to 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, such an outcome is impossible, then we will not humiliate ourselves before israel and will not recognize it as on

land. israel uses only the language of forced brutality and murder to day in the west bank. we see many people being arrested. dozens of officials from different sides have personally addressed 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 summer saw miss. yes, even mamma prayers and the largest monastery in key at can now only be said in ukrainian. it's the latest restrictive stat following weeks of harassment, of monks and worshippers, of the ukrainian orthodox church, which has ancient pies to moscow. although it all appeared to go unnoticed by president zalinski in his easter speech. i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrate and easter to day. we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. this is what religious freedom looks like. key of

style monks be 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 ah 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 sign and i don't know what is, so what is at the heart of the matter?

well keyless trying to cleanse its churches from anyone they deem pro russian ban in their us language in its churches and even threatening the leadership of the ukranian orthodox church with jail time, accusing him of inciting religious hatred and justifying rawson 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 puzzle has now been placed under house arrest for 2 months. ya. ready 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 settle this. i'm a religious person. so watts if millions still follow him as part of the ukrainian

orthodox church, not to be confused with the rival church created just 4 years ago, which was named iran or 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. a church then took over the orthodox christmas service in january, and now they're conducting east to services there with even the previous ukrainian present bill at that of potash and come make an appearance. to no doubt demonstrate his supports. and there stand in their frame while ukrainian security forces are harass 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 korean 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, bullet unlocked right in front of us. the develop society keeps silent, that's not what they were human rights declarations and reports on religious freedom for there will be better occasions like conferences or 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. the 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 box. it made a formal break with the hierarchy in moscow as the humans, after the special military operations began. but even that wasn't enough for caves, authorities and the perks continues a unique chance. when everything could be resolved very quickly and painlessly was

during the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war, then 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 a leverage to secure the release of captured ukrainian soldiers. and that seems to be okay with the international community. not all citizens are aware that the priests of the moscow petra kate. i've been exchanged for prisoners of war and with great pleasure. and there has been more than one such action legal reason. 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 sea crane, embody my bad. we've seen the west regularly form at the mouth of a gay rights gender riots 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 staff ears as no one is making a big deal out of pre spin, thrown out evicted, raided and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive view of russia, i guess they don't deserve human rights comp on the prison. then i tell you, mister president and all of your gang, our tears won't fall on the ground or 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 day. because today in these holy moments, 220 brothers are thrown by you on the street. woe to you,

be afraid of serbian bishop told r t that no matter what the conflict is, the church is not at war and should not be persecuted. problem is regional, whatever the problems between ukraine and russia were 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 the church, any religious community. it is unprecedented in world history, anyone to try to divide the church and decide it's vague from to interfere in its organization and structure on the basis that most of them are of the same vega as the parties in the conflict on. this is exactly what is happening now and ukraine. they have begun to consider the russian orthodox church as well as russia, as their enemies could more precisely con, lee crane in orthodox church and 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 through the serbian church, the ukraine, schismatic, illegal, and non existent church is being promoted as a state church that is conducting an inquisitions to us. we, clergy, members cannot behave like some politicians on 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. also, this is why this kind of behavior toward the church is unacceptable. is that 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, what are 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 no fortune as you cannot infringe on sanctuaries,

whatever goals you are pursuing, norma, the church is not it worth it cannot. and should he had gore? this is a direct persecution to the church on sir. ah, christians around the world have been celebrating easter. it will be another week before orthodox believers also mark the occasion. in the vatican, pope francis held a special mass. syrian catholics took part in festivities and damascus ball. as of africa, events were hauled across the country as ortiz, corolla reports. and on this day she 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 a soul. this is one of the most important days on the christine calendar. and this is how solid africa celebrates it. i mean, 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 still shows our hearts through take it on your body, of christ. so if you have accepted jesus christ through todd, she goes, we one must take the boy of christ with a cleansed 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 says, hate, don't become back on friday to come back and speak this 7 last legs from jesus. ms

. thompson and leaves and trees. and we take him to the cross, loosely preach, and we read from that line that holy church. oh oh, see lie, a we here to ivory park as worshippers where praying for the horrible things we see happening in the town shed. i, we break for a kid is our kids are smoking drugs like renee that they leave the xerox. those the caleb heron, i pray bases talk beginning and come back to the house of god about that is what we're preaching. ultimately, easter means different things to different people, but here in africa it just really centered around relief. garibaldi's at the velocity in alexander johnsborough. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t, v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates, or see right back here at the top of the hour. with
