1:04 pm
people, the innocence, with honest people who have been, ah, suffering for throughout destroy days of the war of the world that is going on between the 2. 0 lord charles or or warren general's ok. thank you for asking that question. i think on the international community or has been doing some efforts as is a 2019, when the former dictated. dr. regina felt but sadly this efforts and bring, ah, no solution for the crisis in sudan. and sadly, also fell to do to bring any art to provide any sort of solution to the crisis of sudan that ended up today in
1:05 pm
a war and in the capital of to that income. and i believe this effort must be an intensified especially these days that could bring to the end of, of the ongoing or incident. and to make sure, i think it's important that this effort must be in the diplomatic level. i avoid any or intervention incident because we don't want to create another libya or other other examples of international a version that we have historically. thanks for the fighting now by a date to the us state. secretary antony blink and had commented that there are forces pushing against a transition to civilian rolling for dan, what do you make of that statement? yeah. first, i think so. psychiatric billing has been
1:06 pm
a great ally to the people of sudan and supporting. in fact, the demands of the sudanese people that the government and all the should and institutions including the, our phone forces who should be hand over to the civilian room. and i believe and the 1st step incident must be the immediate hon. hung off of the curtain wall and then we can talk about having the transitional and rotational government or to to run transitioning the gym to, to the sudanese people. but i think that's important because if this transitional happened in past 4 years, we could have not been in this situation today. and i think what is happening today
1:07 pm
. and it is a conclusive evidence that this sudan government must be hand over to the civilians on the hour. courses should never have control the country should never rule the country. we have few examples of our forces governing estates in the world, but all those states are sadly and none democratic. i states, what are your thoughts on washington's interest in what's happening in sudan? do you think it has any, any goals or motivation for making such comments? um that is i am looking for it it pretty pretty sure i i i, i will understand the interest under my division, but i think according to their former and previous statements they met
1:08 pm
and it is on this and what your vision is aligned with any people demands that they want to have a civilian, a civilian world, government. and i believe also it would be for security reasons because it is really important to have an, a stable government governing system in sudan that is ruled by the civilians. because of the results could be class traffic. today, a while i was speaking to the people on the ground in sudan. they are speaking of having some radical islamic militia involved in on the street and are fighting along this run is our forces. and i believe if this situation will not stop very soon, we could have a,
1:09 pm
we could have been creating another libya where we're creating an autonomous sphere. that is, it's pretty friendly for radical forces on is la mic malicious on, i believe the wash and on watch what washington's interest is, is to avoid and prevent her having sex, which would be interesting watching the situation. i thank you for your comments today. really appreciate your time, man, him have him as sidney, sidney, social, and political activist. thank you. you know, the push for peace in war tone. yemen continue, the saudi arabia has released more than 100 prisoners to go back to savannah. the latest release follows prisoners exchanges between the warring parties in yemen over the last few days, with 900 people from science returned home,
1:10 pm
saw the delegations, emphasized suggestion of goodwill is inferior to seeking a permanent sci fi in the decade long conflicts. we are also participates in recent peace talks between 2 sides, stating that further negotiations will take place according to the spokes person for the international committee of the red cross. well, today's exchange is a positive sign. many more families and yemen are still waiting to hear from the loved one. the emotions i would describe it as overwhelming joy. it has been amazing to witness this beautiful moment. i found many heck and each other friends kissing each other on the forehead. children seeing their budget sometimes for the 1st time and the local here. good morning to the joy. it's a it's, it was really pretty full to witness. and that should be sure that when purchase to the conflict, put humanity before anything else,
1:11 pm
it does alleviate civilian suffering. this happened, of course in the 60s, we had more than 15 flights that were able to, to we need to facilitate to reduce. however we the knowledge that more families we answer a lot of them don't have news from their loved ones. they don't know if they're detained, he's doing a good health, or if they're even alive and do some of the also the answers. the civil war in yemen, described as one of the worlds was humanitarian disaster started in 2014, between who the rebels and the government, backed by the saudi arabia, led coalition. according to the un this year alone, more than 20000000 year, many people need humanitarian assistance. with over 80 percent of the country lacking access to food or basic services fall semester to person for the international committee of the red cross phase. one of the main problems in the conflict is a lack of media coverage. and then for trinity men,
1:12 pm
for the 1st time in 11 years, has been under funded for the international committee of the red cross right now or ration all over the world are currently underfunded. sure, of course it doesn't mean you know, it's a very dentist pocket to to help you many in the needs raising and funding decreasing. so we're hoping that the internation community doesn't forget about chairman. there is a momentum and operation like this one. do send a big message, a hope and agenda is very leaving to see very beautiful moments of happiness in such a steering changes. however, you know, jim and he's not making the headlines anymore. and shouldn't forget about yemen because even if the coffee and today they need that in then i chose, she will keep working here together with our partners from the human ref. classes
1:13 pm
to mingle clock cost life now to use if maria, local journalists, joining us from yemen. many thanks for joining us this evening. i'd like to ask you just how significant is this exchange of prisoners and what does it mean for the people of yemen? was significant in the sense that both sides are willing to come to the negotiations table and try to reach a peaceful solution to and be almost 9 years of conflict. so i think, you know, this prisoner exchange deal that was established through the peaceful efforts. i think it serves as serves as an appetizer $24.00 course meal of problems that will, that will be face on the negotiations table to try and to resolve between the saudi officials and the who, the subtle law politicians and delegates who are currently engaged in this so far too weak people effort,
1:14 pm
the advantage to establish this prisoner swap deal. there's momentum going forward that a peaceful resolution will finally be established, or at least an extension of the cease fire agreement. so you know, we have to look at the situation. however on the ground. busy the many people how the, how do they feel about these people efforts? when we look at the situation on the ground, we see that the humanitarian crisis in yemen still exist. living many people struggling daily to put food on the table to make ends meet. and that's simply because of the fact that saudi arabia continues to pose a blockade from land air, and see which is impeding and hindering the basic flow of trade in and out of the country that has resulted into the economy declining and denigrating, which is forcing people to the brink of poverty, actually 55 percent of the population remain in poverty,
1:15 pm
18 percent of the people in poverty. they're, they're in severe poverty. they don't have a home, you know, some of them, most of them are refugee. so in order for their to, for this deal to continue pushing forward with mental, you have to alleviate humanitarian crisis in the country. and i must say, the title of government is under immense pressure to alleviate the mandatory crisis to ease the suffering of millions of human needs, which came as a result of the war. and so why has this post for peace come now off the almost a decade of war, which is devastated, like you say the life of millions of people and continues to i'm sorry, could you repeat the question, please? i'd like to ask you, why do you think this push the piece has come now? so i think that, you know, saudi arabia is currently on the verge of distant itself from being american loyal
1:16 pm
dog in the region. as one on total official puts it. i think saudi arabia finally realizing that there is no benefit that's going to come to saudi arabia by simply serving the interest of western powers and simply serving in the middle eastern region. as america does go to ally whenever the us wants to execute its own policy and maintain its global domination of the world. saudi arabia that is starting to realize that the only way they can maintain their power, they can maintain credibility in the middle east, and especially with the rise of russia and china alliance. i think they're, they're putting forward this effort and they're eager to establish peace in yemen for the simple fact is they no longer trust the was administration. they no longer have faith that the reign of america is going to last much longer simply because of . busy those america has over extended itself. it's, it's economy,
1:17 pm
you lost billions and trillions of dollars in the ukraine war, the american people, they don't want to have faith in their own government because of its reckless foreign policy. so i think saudi arabia starting to see that, i think they're making the shift from being allies with western nations, to perhaps a more or a more fruitful alliance with eastern countries, with countries like russia, with countries white china with, you know, it's right. bring iran, you know, and especially with yemen, which shares voters with saudi arabia. so i think this is the trend that we are seeing. saudi ra, a saudi arabia gravitating towards. i'm like you said there's so many hurdles that need to be overcome before we reach a place of peace and stability. but this one piece is an incredibly positive step in the right direction. so what do you think this spells will means for the middle east in general, given the recent changes with geopolitical front is the middle east taking
1:18 pm
a turn towards stability i think is interesting, and i think your mind is playing a very pivotal role in leading the next political trend for the middle east. look, we understand, you know, in the sites people agreement of 924. when they divided the middle east into their own independent nations. and they basically kind of lies the entire middle east and east old puppet leaders. death serve the interests of the french and the british government in the mid century. this is still very much the case whereby you have most of the countries in the middle east are being run by dictators who are only there to serve and secure the interest of america, the british government, and other western nations. and i think what this revolution getting them and is that it set the cone for how a government should operate, and that is when this revolution launched, ma'am, and by the movement, they said we no longer, we will, no longer tolerate, won't implement,
1:19 pm
we will no longer tolerate us and british government dominance over our internal and political affairs. and what's even more significant is that the people are rising and they're starting to see that they no longer have to accept and vote for a puppet president to control their lightly affairs. and this is what the revolution did in yemen. and i think the other countries in the middle east, they're starting to see that yes, the leaders that are installed in government, the, they're, that they're political official, they're not serving the interest of their own people. look, yemen has had the economy and has the capability to be one of the richest countries in the entire region. there is a reason why that this is not the case. and that's simply because of the extortion and the supervision that happening on behalf of saudi arabia doing us. and the british governments work in yemen. they're the ones who are men, eating the poverty in them. and they're the ones who are destroying humans,
1:20 pm
economy, they're stealing the country and national treasure artifacts. and i think we've seen this story over over again, not just in yemen, but throughout the middle east. you said mari, many thanks for joining us today. really appreciate your time with speaking to use of murray local list. thank you. ah, moscow and new delhi are working on signing a russia india agreement on mutual investment. that's according to russian trade, minister, dentist, that man to ralph who's in india to to discuss trade and economic ties between the states. but why do we have vaccinations for from the states, particularly for india, we are working on signing a russia, india agreement on subordinate protected mutual investments. i have no doubt that these trade preferences will be useful for russian and indian businessmen. apply national currencies in mutual payments and currents is of friendly states may minimize costs and currency risks. meanwhile, india continues to be one of the main russian oil importers with china and india,
1:21 pm
causing for 91 percent of russia's crude oil exports in march. just by the g $7.00 price cap, the india has been buying large amounts of discounted russian crude since february last year, with almost $1500000.00 barrels per day imported in march with indian finance minister saying it would continue importing russian oil even over the price cap, so even if it reaches the cap, you probably have to keep importing it. yes, because otherwise i'll end up paying far more than what i can afford. what ever since new delhi started buying discounted russian wood from moscow? western countries have had a real problem. western countries, the government and their press 5 to 5, and we tweak it in the book, disobeyed in doubt from buying or from russia, correct? more lecture of corrections, but india is not to come to any of those. india has been independent foreign policy,
1:22 pm
which india has followed. let me break it down to reason why india would never follow either the price gap or stop buying discount ross, you know, it's one, india simply cannot afford to do that. you can what is happening in several countries in europe and in the u. k. in germany. can india fought to do that to it's 1400000 people. know india is busy securing energy for its people. so that really has been a priority for india and told why would india do? india has a perfectly healthy relationship with moscow just to lead off a little information here. india started buying discounted russian oil ever since the conflict began from nearly one percent less than one percent. oil imports from law school in it's in for the sauce kids to over 30 percent. now in fact,
1:23 pm
india buying more than one point. 6000000 barrels of crude from moscow in a day. in fact that of more than what india is buying, combine from saudi arabia and a rock. and remember those 2 war india dominant and traditional oil suppliers, india is going to continue buying oil from moscow. and in fact, it's not just oil, like i mentioned, the india wants to in fact and boost, strategic and creep, tied that with mall school. and in fact the creed minutes through moscow is your when you w for to deal with it. you're out of business for him. he met with the indian foreign minister, s j shanker, who also echoed his sentiments. we believe that in time to global instability, the world economy requires some more resilient and reliable set of supply chips
1:24 pm
possibilities i think, are both in, you know, i would say gaps which may have emerged in recent months, but also new areas. and i completely agree that i think to date, payments, logistics, certifications, these are really be the key area. and i'm convinced that this possible not to boosting tree tie between your deleon moscow. but the primary, even your also is to do more and more trade in local currencies that out of both, both the countries really going big on a cooperation there despite western sanctions and may be ongoing investigation of the pentagon leaks. the wall street journal is focused on a pro russian telegram group to think of playing
1:25 pm
a key role in the disclosure. also revealing one of the key contributors is the u. s. navy veteran, april ported russian borger and known as don bass, nebraska, which translates as danvers girl, re posted the files from obscure online chat rooms. the blogger is the face of a network of pro crown, and social media, broadcasting merchandise and fundraising accounts. but the person who host it bought us as don boss, debora kind overseas. these accounts is a washington state based former use unless at aviation electronics technician, whose real name is sarah bills. according to the report done, must have a case translated as dumbass girls. a telegram account posted for of the allegedly leaked classified documents to it's $65000.00 followers. several laws, russian social media accounts then picked up on the files off the which the pentagon started its investigation for the navy service woman sarah bills claim that 15 people from all over the world run the telegram network, declining to identify those involved the f
1:26 pm
b. i has already arrested 21 year old service men and got a jack to share who allegedly published more than $100.00 secret pentagon documents on the discord. chaz there on verified claims that some of the files contained specific information on us military plans in ukraine. the documents dated march of 2023 reported they included projections of full size, weapons supplies, and us estimates of the number of ukrainian or russian casualties. the documents allegedly reflect the u. s. and ukranian perspectives on what is needed for counter offensive. most of the materials discovered online are classified pentagon briefings that were transmitted to specialized service topless who are closed network. according to media reports. let's cross the live to jeremy morales managing editor of a covert actually magazines. many thanks for joining us on the program this evening, and i just want you what you make of the timing of the wall street journal report
1:27 pm
which claims the dome by sco telegram channel is run by u. s. navy a. u. s. navy veteran. well, i think it is very interesting and it could point to potential covert operation if they're trying to leak linked to a russian, you know, they're trying to link it to russia that russia was somehow connected with this major leak. but now it's coming out that this woman was actually working for us, you know, was in the u. s. navy. so perhaps this is our cover was blown. i mean, we don't know exactly what's going on, but this has the appearance, maybe of some kind of botched, this information operation. because if you remember, i mean, they were trying to link, you know, and julie saw the wiki leaks. they tried to claim that that was a rush. no rush was behind that. and then there was a group of intelligence professionals who saw that it was actually internal leak. and they found based on the be in the mold and had to been a week and come from the united states and couldn't been russia. so this may have
1:28 pm
been another operation to, you know, and in general, it's interesting and, you know, she was promoting all this kind of incendiary materials on ukraine war that was supposedly coming from russia and celebrating the killing of ukraine soldiers. and we learned that she's actually are the u. s. navy. so as clearly some kind of ca, this information operations entire russia. and there may be, you know, continuing the continuance of that and try to connect to russia with these leaks as part of what we've seen. the russia gapes for the last 8 years. you know, russia has been demonized, and accused of interfering in us politics every day. of the week practically, and it's, it's, you know, building support for the u. s. stella coast, all the tour thrush and the u. s. policy and ukraine of army ukrainians and getting more involved. busy in the war, taking the war really directly against russia as well. it seems like the f b, i has arrested this 21 year old jack to share,
1:29 pm
accusing him of publishing documents on this code, which then were we posted by the telegram. why has that been such a focus on the channel repose thing be for lead leaks when they will already published by many other media sources? i'm not sure. yeah. there are a lot of strange things going on there. you know, theories that, i mean it's weird that this guy was so young and he had access all those documents . that's one strange thing on discord. i think they want a brand is some kind of like, you know, gaming network for like extreme right wing or you know, miss fitz, i think maybe to deflect attention away from what those documents reveal. and i think the documents really question the u. s. paul sin show that the u. s. government was lying and government officials relying they were obscuring just how bad the war is going for ukraine, the level of casualties. so they wanna deflect attention away from that and focus
1:30 pm
on discourse as allegedly this kind of pirate network or you know, network for misfits or extremis. and they've taken a lot of those documents down. i think the government doesn't want the public to know what's in those documents because they're trying to sustain this narrative of, you know, that the crane more is going great and the u. s. is supporting democracy and they're going to the feet russia soon. but i think there are elements within the pentagon and military establishment at this point that are questioning us policy. and i think that's all i mean, the source of these lakes and you know, growing this affection and the vision about the war in the pentagon. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's really great to get your take on things we've been speaking to managing, editor of covert action magazine at jeremy could neuron. thank you.
