ah, ah, ah, russia claim. so legal classifies pentagon documents about the war, and ukraine reveal nothing new that those questions remain about the authenticity of the file. the u. s. could pull its support for ukraine and leave your up to face the conflict on its own. that the warning to the french president for public and sen entering choppy waters tension, fight in the pacific region. as a u. s. navy vessel sale through the south trying to see all bay old major drills all around taiwan. a

coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins, here with the latest news. welcome to the programmer. questions are still being asked about the authenticity of documents, supposedly weak from the pentagon that have been making headlines. but russia noted they 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 a year have been many scandals. there is also a tendency to blame everything on russia towards a common obsession right now. they were initially released or discovered on the relatively unknown, at discord and for cham chat sites. 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 their 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 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 has taken very seriously by the administration plans about ukraine's her preparations for a,

a much vaunted upcoming counter offensive. the papers also mentioned what the western intelligence agencies would call signals intelligence, which is basically a 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 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? so korea, the only countries actually made the official statement. big hitters like israel of the u. k. remaining, quite honest. of course, ukraine has wrote in and suggested that the whole affair is essentially an elaborate rush. and this information campaign to distract and reflect from confidence in their upcoming offensive. the aim of secret data leaks is all vs 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 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, at their very silent on that, but on this particular subject they're very vocal and seem to be 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 geopolitical analyst pepe escobar claims. there are numerous inconsistencies in the lease documents. look at many you and some of our viewers

remember mad magazines, spy against spy cartoon in the sixty's. now that was the black row 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 a 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 fall. but this is something that we for casualties extend to one according to the 6.57 to one which is closer to the truth compared to what was being spun by the america into what a week ago. right. so all this of ukrainians 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 to slaughter house in that mosque. while it's going to be, the rushes are big. this, the russian strategy of what's brilliant about it is that they just tweak it, but it's essentially the same strategy come here,

we're waiting for you and then we apply our leasing. 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 cannot believe that natal klemmer's did not see this coming. he's already made plenty of headlines earlier this year over claims of the cia was behind last years attack on rushes, nordstrom, gas pipelines. but now fuel is their prize winning. journalist seymour hersh has told the german magazine that they sabotaged plot dates back to at least 2021. it wasn't actually planning the request was issued just before new year's eve $21.00 to $1.00 probably around christmas. it was about finding something out of the ordinary that the president could use a lower earth threat to convince food and not to attack. meanwhile, the new york times has polish an article on the attack on russia's nord stream pipelines,

questioning whether it's in the public interest to know what really happened to back its narrative. their 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 . earlier this year, journalist seymour hersh went public with his investigation, claiming the whole thing had been orchestrated by the cia he said. explosives were planted on the pipes during naval exercises carried out by nato, the nor region navy also help the u. s. and the operation that was carried out by a special swap of u. s. navy divers, who had been trained in panama. it's alleged that the vitamin ministration debated whether to carry out the attack for 9 months. however, hirsch's claim have been rejected by western officials. the north stream pipelines were targeted on the 26 of september of last year. ever since the incident,

there's been huge speculation over who was responsible. russia found itself accused or blowing up its own infrastructure. moscow said it was one that that carried out the attack. while washington recently claimed that a pro ukrainian group was behind it, journalists, an author, daniel, is there, believes the more the implausible theories emerge, the more evident it becomes, who is truly behind the sabotage. i mean, since the, the pipeline we've exploded last september. the official ex, explanation has gone through various stages. first, it was russia's fault. one that didn't work because russia clearly had no incentive at all to bought a blow up its own pipeline. when that didn't work, then the intelligence agencies in the u. s. in germany, apparently planned to the story in the u. s. and german media blenny at

all on on non non governmental freelancers who apparently had views. they 50 foot yards that they rented on a german german port on the baltic and use that to plant the explosives. that didn't work either because the boat is clearly too small for such oper. ation, which requires a large scale military effort. so now they've run out of possible explanations short of the obvious one, which is the u. s. 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. frances president has been facing a barrage of criticism after he warned european powers to be wary of washington. manual my crop said the you lacks its own autonomy, but in response to republican congressmen claim the u. s. could end its support for ukraine and leave europe 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 supported that because i think this in the national interest in the united states to be allies to our allies. but in our allies position, in fact, chrome speaks for all in europe and their position now is they're not going to pick side 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 that 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 lower prices on gas exports 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 supply and the ukraine conflict is just so good for europe that michael was begging us lawmakers on a visit to washington last december to. ringback reconsider the impact of biden 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 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 blown up, rubio claimed 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. micron could not be clearer and even clear pots 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 is 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 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 sandy american troops into us ally next door neighbor mexico, a sense of me to fix america's own bentonville drug problems. but it's also noting that not home went even further in his statement about china than simply expressing disinterested being dragged into a new us like conflict over timeline. 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 that quote, as europeans are concerned, 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, 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. big. busy will rival and pentagon contractor bowie, and on the way back on the french presidential plane, michael, have this pitney, the paradox would be vouch, overcome with panic, were belief, wedges, 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 agenda and the 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, sounds like someone who is just given a pricey gift bias sooner. 6 and then washes it to everyone in town, so then get back to their partner who hasn't given them much recently, except headaches in the lower networks. and now that frustrated partner washington, is pretty much acting exactly as you'd expect. a possessive lover to action frustration. r t spoke with the vice chairman of the shanghai center for room, hack and international studies. nelson wong. karen, the studio, he said here is a hostage to conflicts where the u. s. demands 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 by 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. so ursula, on the line we had macro on visiting china shortly after she, she was here in russia. you begin with, but in the u. s. seems to think, well, my quote seems to think that the u. s. is using the e as a 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 her europe has been understood to be supporting the u. s. a

whether it's willingly or unwilling, les 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 sales. but i think this trip of president mc crohn in china as reviewed that the europeans, or at least mac chrome, being one of the european leaders is coming to is census that it should actually look after their own interest charge. as i always say, facts are facts because inflation is going up in europe. and the cost of energy is going up like crazy over the last year. so it's people's lives. we're talking

about when you have people that are not happy with what they have. the politicians, their leaders will have to think and to do something about it. a 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 game were taking place and airspace and water surrounding taiwan, military aircraft, company naval destroyers, and an aircraft carrier, taiwanese official, said the american vessel was providing support and coordination for taiwanese forces in case of an armed confrontation last month. a russian fleet also carried out exercises in the sea of japan. a correspondence from the c g t and news network took us through the significance of the latest military drills. this military very all happening in so i was sweet and also was down. and the

eastern theatre command of the chinese people's liberation army. stay that they try to have what they call an approaching just around tie one island on day 2. they stay there because you was to see what was called simulated proficient strikes. 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 eastern command also released a animation on sunday night about ready to physicians flights. and we can see that the missiles were launched. a foaming rocket forced 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's

a aircraft carrier named the sun don't participate in the military trails. and so i think this meters clearly excellent explains the scale of the military through. definitely not exactly the drills around taiwan. com as the island leader has been in washington at the invitation of the us house speaker. but our decision travel there has for vote criticism both at home and abroad. you can read all about it on our website, r t dot com. one of the biggest volcanoes in russia as far east, has burst into life linking surrounding areas in ash and causing locals to seek shelter. huge flips of smoke and ash have been towering 20000 meters into the sky. that's according to the countries academy of sciences. despite the incredible images and the awesome display of natural beauty authority to have warned of the

dangers, the russian emergency services recommend locals not to leave their homes and to shut all doors and windows local air space has also been close to all aircraft. israeli prime minister has backtrack on a promise to sack the country's defense minister following mass protest on the streets of jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu announcement comes as thousands of israelis join senior government officials in 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 cabinet members. givers said that the rally sent a message that israel was standing strong. the tar out 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 can done the march as a provocative act. i'm middle east in islam researcher we heard from doesn't

believe that israel will take such con nations seriously. we jews believe that this is our country. historical country way before our ubs came to this country and we were led to exile for 2000 deals that we were in exile in many places are included. and so finally we came back to our forefathers and we should have the ability to permission to settle whatever we like. and. ringback when we want to put a silly tv anyway, doesn't to view it as a legitimate state is or does not appeal in those schools book say maps. it's so way a we don't take them too seriously because they they anyway, our enemies and the endway want to establish the palestinian state on the wings over the state of his life. so well, let them say what they say in bed. it's ok we can live with this when march comes

in a time of rising tensions between israelis and palestinians falling last week's police freight on jerusalem's. i'll have some mosque hearing the muslim following monday ramadan. the 1st rate happened on wednesday morning when his rally forces stored in the building using care gaff against palestinian worshippers israeli police alive. the dozens of young men carrying rocks and firecrackers had tried to barricade themselves inside a senior member of the palestinian group. hamas believes that western countries must apply more pressure on israel. these changes in the region. so i mean that, that them, it, in the expansion of settlements, the demolition of houses, the storming of the alex mosque. that's what we need to respond to from up if you want to achieve. com and if you really want to reduce the escalation or 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. 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 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 of palestinians i saw only see as if the prayers in the largest monastery and key yet can now only be said in ukrainian. it's the latest restrictive step towards the ukranian orthodox church, which has ancient ties to moscow. he continues to wage war on orthodoxy by a victim monk from ukrainian orthodox churches,

and banning anyone they deem as pro ration the leader of the monastery has been placed under house arrest for 2 months. back to orthodox church of ukraine is considered to be schismatic with many of his followers, protesting against the premium orthodox church, clergy, and threatening to forcefully affects that a serbian bishop told archie that no matter what the conflict is, the church is not at war. and should not be persecuted. problem is we do 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 drag the church into this and not just a church, any religious community. it is unprecedented in world history, any one to try to divide the church and decide it's fatal to interfere in its organization and structure on the basis that most of them are of the same vein as

the parties in the conflict. and 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 could more precisely the ukrainian orthodox churches, which has autonomy and is actually independent from the moscow patriarch it. but maintains contacts with it as you all other churches, including our own through the serbian church, ukraine, escape magic, 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. so this is why this kind of b.
