5:00 pm
thank you. this concludes the press conference and that was of the russian foreign minister, sir gala rob in caracas for a press conference with his venezuelan counterpart. and both leaders sounded very optimistic about their work together with a live rav even referring to venezuela is one of russia's most reliable partners. and it's important to remember here that the 2 countries have become even stronger in recent years, especially as the u. s. and it's western allies launched and a sanctions campaign against venezuela and russia was one of the countries that continued to stand by it. now venezuela is standing by russia as the u. s. has targeted it with the sanctions campaign. and when we heard from those leaders, they talked about continuing that work when it comes to trade, when it comes to agriculture and just furthering those ties between the 2 of them. now as a reminder, we are following live,
5:01 pm
robs tour of latin america. and we will continue to do so this week with all of the latest updates right here on our tea. ah, india is pushing back against environmental agenda as it claims are being dictated to it by western agencies, branding them as neo colonial as policies. there is a danger that the norms and their application will be decided by small click of western agencies. this is a form of new colonialism. we need to push back against it whether into 20 or any other platform. so we hunt sanjeever san l. there is a member of india else, prime minister, i mean, the more these us economic advisory council basically saying there has an issue here is not the need of norms that essentially who is monitoring them and how are they monetary these norms as well as these are targets, in fact, also seen to the existing western ranking system is flawed,
5:02 pm
and that it is full of biases as well as failures. he also went on to say that i met hearing ears g on monitoring e s g in this particular system is exceedingly problematic. now what is he as g? it is essentially economic our social go on in sal framework, which is used to measure an organisation on the basis all sustainability as well as ethical issues. and, and this is in fact a really important one for india. i'll forwards drawing a business so important. go on the line here that these fame was, and are these factors that our used to monitor? these are our very best in ideas, and by should they be a western ideas? that's the question. the sunny isle is us. yes, the issue is not so much about the need for some norms, but about who will be monitoring these targets. the existing credit writing ones
5:03 pm
already have series biases and failures, allowing the emergence of a new bunch of exclusively western agencies to monitor is g targets is problematic . sano hall, so going on to see and talk about more, the government saw more room or idea or reaching net 0 by 2070. and that is something that india has spoken about in the past as well, in yes, reiterated about these ideas. in the as environment minister. moving to jago vaguely the same, plus the global goal of reaching that 0 by 25th to rec, wise and hands the scaling of emissions by the developed countries. this will provide space for countries like india to which of the development required for its people, which will provide necessary defense against the books of climate change, environmental degradation and pollution. so according to where it is publicly available, statistics and data. india does not bad that much run when it comes to carbon emission. so india, johnson, it's about 7 percent of the wool c o 2,
5:04 pm
we just embed to say for example, us ease just half in that china and made saw the maximum c o 2, which is about 29 percent. and european union, by the way, is that sees itself as the crusade or a green analogy. it's on smith's more than india does, and my view is, are 3 times less thought related as far as in the us and so on. so really the idea of being that maybe weston agencies need to back off and they need to lead countries like india do what they need to do. there are reports of gunfire. shelling and even large explosions in sudan does by disease fire coming into force. and the last few hours between the army and apparent military group called the rapid support forces. the supposed fox and fighting was meant to allow the evacuation of civilians and for the injured to be treated
5:05 pm
ah, a huge explosion and the capital city of cartoon was caught on a live broadcast earlier in the day. the r s f leader committed to stopping the blood shut on twitter, saying the decision was directly influenced by talks with the u. s. secretary of state and appeals from other countries. meanwhile than our 4 day conflict has besieged residents with power cuts, food shortages and hospital closures. b u n says 185 people have been killed at another 1800 wounded and the international red cross it warned. it's almost impossible to deliver aid to the capital, a local journalist. so the situation is heading towards a full blown humanitarian crisis. this aggression in the brown, i did a pin, i mean, not each day, but each moment the fighting. it is still ongoing. and the shell in
5:06 pm
odd to me, not everywhere. and it strikes is not easy actually. so it should be you said it is more brutal, london to leave more than the day before. the fight is now go synthetic around me headquarters, but it's also other a was we don't have been actually. so i saw that was with you by the actually by the would even bout is a run out of misuse. and now i'm guy. that is to work with. i am off the basic needs of the services of the people. i think the situation was on that would be a crisis. political commentator doctor grover shake believes that the r i
5:07 pm
sat has no real chance against the regular army. unless external forces provide support. if it is a genuine good i says, which has all the beautiful sexual between the cool site that is military and but on the beach, i think it is long and it even, it doesn't resolve. the military won't be able to fight for long because you should not forget the food on me. bounce off meant what and what is not here to strongest on me in africa. and this gentleman, by the military forces, just of 111th on one, was the army, the also the i don't so here. so did you leave on the name these guys? the front up in a report is what, what is of the products on file? what do you support, things like that, i believe, forces. then you go to hell, you know, like situation and he wouldn't leave, you know why?
5:08 pm
i've seen going to be confused. a huh. so you look good to very much pin me. so it did it under that umbrella, somebody else, somebody's pressing the remote control end or in the show, some outsider then the betty betty, i believe for their daddy. but for the father to go for food on and out. if need be much worse than that of the had other russian private military company. wagner has rejected claims and the british media fighters from his group have been feeling the crisis in sudan. there is currently not a single wagner, p. m. c fighter and sudan. i emphasize there is not a single one. it has been this way already for more than 2 years. there have not been any wagner fighter since who don for 2 years and there were none. today. various british media outlets from the daily mail to the times have released
5:09 pm
reports claiming to link the wagner group to the chaos and sudan wagner, members have been deployed in parts of africa to fight against insurgents and terrorist and actions coordinated by local governments. it's fighters have served as instructors for the armed forces of the central african republic as well as molly. and i've also conducted counter terror operations in that region. canada's national public broadcaster cbc says it's quitting twitter after being branded as 69 percent steep funded by the platform. twitters new labeling policy also saw britain's b. b. c slap or the similar label last week, sparking outrage from the corporations management archie contributor rachel mars. it has been looking into the story before. elaine must spot twitter. the western press just collectively shrugged when chinese and russians linked media like
5:10 pm
r t were slacked with these government funded labels. it's like it never occurred to them to stand up and say, hey, wait a minute, we could be next because our own media outlets get government support that never occurred to them because it seemed like the western establishment would pretty much always have some sort of. busy control over platforms on social media like twitter, and would have every interest in maintaining the status quo of using every opportunity to propagandized the notion of russia. china bad in this case, through the use of scary labels to discredit any information or analysis that risks challenging western narratives. but now the twitter is owned by musk. he's pretty much leveling the playing field now by going on a legally spree of western media that receives government funding, canada state broadcaster, the canadian broadcasting corporation or cbc, clearly considers it's new label to be harmful, to, to can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with canadians,
5:11 pm
but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the war. they do to law independence to be forced, described in this way. the western press objects to these tags being applied to them because they've long accepted the negative connotation of these labels that started back when they were only applied to media late to russia, china. they didn't even say anything when the accounts of individuals, journalists with these outlets were also tag with the same scarlet letter. it's only now that the same labels are being applied to them that the cdc says that it represents an unfair attack on the integrity of. busy individual journalists working for them, so the cdc, which by the way, last received $1240000000.00 with a b of annual funding from the canadian federal government has now paused its twitter account and pointed out that it gets 30 percent of its funding on its own thank you very much, which prompted, elan must to amend the label. canadian broadcasting corp said they're less than 70
5:12 pm
percent government funded. so we corrected the label. by the way, if anyone at twitter wants getting deeper, de learned that the canadian media is largely government funded and subsidized to an extent, far greater than meets the eye. but canadian prime minister justin trudeau hysterically played the class warfare card in defense of the public broadcaster accusing conservative party opposition leader. yes. why? yeah. law of cozying up to us billionaires. an obvious reference to must by the evelyn written the letter to twitter drawing attention to the fact that the c, b, c, which canadian conservatives have long use of cow towing to the left leaning establishment agenda. shouldn't be left out of there is who labeling spree which also hit other western outlets like britain's b b c. now label is publicly funded and and p r. so national public radio in the u . s, which has outright quit twitter in protest. but hey, must a $44000000000.00 for twitter so he can do what he wants with his own private
5:13 pm
company. right? that's the arguing that was made by those who supported the western establishment narratives against the dissenters and activists of all kinds who were banned under twitters previous leadership and who now object to their reinstatement under musk. you know, if these media outlets and journalists had just stood up for press freedom and free speech, when the targets were there competition, then maybe they wouldn't now find themselves in exactly the same firing line. it's a 44th anniversary of the founding of a ron's armed forces following these only revolution in tehran has held the military parade. r t. corresponding use of jal. ali reports from the iranian capital convoys carrying dozens of iranian made weapons, was again paraded into juan and across the country. as yvon marked the national army day, all of the 4 branches of the military took part in the massive parade with high

5:15 pm
other countries prioritize imported military equipment, but in our army, the hallways produce domestically with our own know how and innovation. although we use experience of others, the industry is based on a domestic work. the military parade also saw the flight of the latest generations of the home grown cosser and saw it a fighter jets, a range of home grown missile systems, including 10 osh who are also paraded in the ceremony. the air defense system is capable of engaging long range and high altitude targets using the indigenous li bill. so your 2 missiles arrange off recognizance surveillance and combat drums were also showcase that event. at the same time, a fleet of iranian made vessels submarines, and a range of other naval equipment, were also pirated in the iranian southern waters and the persian gulf. since this establishment, some 4 decades ago, these mach republic has suffered the harshest the arms embargoes imposed by the west. the 8th, your iran, iraq war in the 1980s was fought under those restrictions which denied iran access
5:16 pm
to even a bullet from outside its borders. however, these law mac republic says it has looked at the sanctions as a blessing in disguise, prompting the country to stand on its own feet and gained self sufficiency in the defense sector. one, witness a parts of our own military equipment. i hope our enemies do not underestimate. tell military strength and honor if they do. they will face a harsh responsive ron's armed forces and both the national army day was designated in 1979 following a historic speech by late founder of these law, mac republic, title law, khomeini for he thank the army for its role and the victory of these lubbock revolution where you now seeing its neutrality and the conflict between the former pow heavy regime and the revolutionary forces on its 44th anniversary, these walmack republic of iran. army says it has come a long way from relying on western arms to building it so needed hardware to ensure the security of its soil. as with every year, the parade has had its strong messages relate to iran's friends and foes. military
5:17 pm
commander say the countries show of might is not a threat to its neighbors. what does it message of deterrence against any hostile move on the part of its enemies? usa, roddy, r t. jeff ron? meanwhile, around the exiled crown prince has arrived in israel with a message denouncing the current running in government as the oldest son as a law shot to rural iran before the islamic revolution. in 1979, he is heir apparent to the throne, and has been residing in the u. s. since the shower was deposed. this may openly hostile relations between tehran and tel aviv. the exiled france has come to israel bearing a quote, message of friendship from the iranian people. it's always been my goal to tell the whole world that what you hear from the iranian regime is not what the wrong people actually believe. this regime does not represent the iranian
5:18 pm
people. no one takes him seriously in iran and his father stole tens of billions of dollars when he was playing the country. and the son of the former shot serious about carrying for the running people. he could return that money to ordinary runs. in fact, he's done the opposite. he's supported sanctions against the country supported us policy against the country. he has supported harming ordinary people. people died as a result of these policies that have been imposed by the united states. obviously, the test, their families, the tests such a person. and so, so does the rest of the iranian society. and of course, going to the apartheid regime at a time when even western countries are highly critical of netanyahu is i think, a sign of his foolishness because it couldn't have come at
5:19 pm
a worse time for him. and it shows that not only is he living on so well, not only does he wish to harm ordinary iranians, but he doesn't have a political wisdom. ukraine's foreign minister has reject it, or rocks offered to help negotiate peace between key and moscow. but at the same time, claim, no other nation wants peace more than ukraine. you have to understand the difference between ukraine and russia is very simple. ukraine wants peace in russia once war. and there is no other country in the world. said one piece more than ukraine. the top diplomat comments were made during a meeting with his iraqi counterpart. it is the 1st visit of a ukrainian foreign minister to baghdad and more those churches were peace between ukraine andrews. yep. rejection from the minister of ukraine,
5:20 pm
which my to make the things more difficult for future. i would one want to go for peace. everyone is looking to stop the war as much as possible because there are a lot of civilians are going down for increasing the number of them a week till this moment. we don't know why do crane people over the crane leadership. they insist not to go for any peace negotiations for from any help from any country are willing to help them. you as a id, is to spend more than $20000000.00 to monitor how the money being sent to ukraine for humanitarian purposes is being used along with providing billions worth of military financial aid. as well as advanced weaponry. washington also sends key as humanitarian assistance aimed at helping ukranian citizens to continue receiving
5:21 pm
all the basic necessities from health care to education. washington has already sent around $23000000000.00 and direct budget support to the ukrainian government since last february. so to go further in depth on this, let's cross live now to jo altman, host of the conservative daily podcast. joe, it's great to have you on the program today. so washington is reportedly planning to spend more money in order to boost the transparency of the money that it's already spent on ukraine. why now and does this make sense? i think it has a lot to do with the republicans that were elected and brought into congress in january and that they want to there's going to be some investigations and there's going to be some, some ice underneath the cover of what's been spent to date. but they, they have very little receipts on the $23000000000.00 that has already been spent in ukraine. and that's just the tip of the iceberg of the money that was sent through other through other means military aid. that they're not able to track
5:22 pm
either. so in this case, they want to spend $20000000.00. it seems like a very small number. but this is, i think, to put in place something that may, window dressing to show that maybe they're looking into the corruption and the lack of transparency usa i. d, 's had for, for decades. and again, it's a problem that we perpetuate. we've had, and the united states that we talk about and create something on the surface that rarely, if ever leads to any sort of accountability and how they spend this money. so they are at least making an effort, possibly, although it is inexpensive. one. now, as you mentioned, republicans are among those who have been asking these repeated questions about where all of the aid money goes. and of course there's the potential corruption in the premium government. do you think that this new oversight will actually address those concerns and possibly lead to any meaningful change? i don't think it will because the machine, the apparatus that,
5:23 pm
that exists today has already been allowed to act with impunity. the usa i. d 's had trouble for the last 4 or 5 decades. susie, 2 or 3 decades that they have operated in other countries. and most of the a that they push out to parts of north africa or central africa and up on the black market. so usa da id has never been an organization that is been held to account, regardless of where it is across the globe. i don't think there's gonna lead to anything other than, hey, maybe we'll be able to audit one percent of the things that go across based on maybe military vehicles. but as a whole, you're not going to see anything change and they certainly are going to put anything in place that would not allow them to have what is what is already been accused of. and it's happening in ukraine right now, which is people in the ukranian government are just going out buying houses and businesses and, and, you know, putting money in their personal bank accounts and certainly by an administration
5:24 pm
knows about that. but of course have any think about it. right. and now, i mean when it comes to looking back at say this situation and ghana, stan, i mean we got reports, year after year showing all of the ways that money had been wasted, showing all the money that was missing. and yet there was never anything done to actually address it. so now that we're looking at a situation where we could be getting some more transparency on the money that was, is being spent in ukraine. what kind of message is a send to the american taxpayers who are funding all of this that? sure, there may be more transparency, but we're not talking about true accountability and moving towards it here. well, i read the entire press release and there is no mechanism that they actually talk about are detail as to how they intend on creating transparency. and i don't think that there's a government agency inside the united states that has had transparency at all. so i don't know what they consider to be transparent, but you're certainly not going to get anything out of this. you know,
5:25 pm
$20000000.00 because they don't even know where to start. and i can go back to the budget and the pentagon and the hundreds of billions of dollars, you know, we went through, we went through $911.00, we saw how much reckless money we spent over in afghanistan and iraq. the fact that there were people coming back with pockets for cash that were even a part of the u. s. apparatus. and then all of a sudden the budget for the pentagon went up $50000000000.00, and they could even figure or reconcile the amount of money to head for the previous decade. so we're not talking about people that have any sort of idea of even how to balance a checkbook. and if they did, we wouldn't be $31.00 trillion dollars and dead trying to raise the debt ceiling every 6 months. just so that the, the government pork porky pigs can eat. yeah. certainly they are the ones that learning from this and learning how to game the system here. now, what kind of signal is the, by the ministration sending to the american public care? i mean, are they admitting possibly that the money that was sent to ukraine may have not
5:26 pm
being spent as it was intended to? or do you think we're still always off from that? at this point? i think that they're taking the american people's temperature and the american people don't have an appetite for being in a proxy war with russia through ukraine. we just don't. and this is a way of saying that, hey, that we responsibly spent these billions of dollars. we're heading into an election year, and frankly, there is nothing good about the biden regime and, or anyone inside the apparatus of government that is favorable in the eyes of the american people. so this is just more of hayward, we're going to make it look like we're making an honest effort. when in actuality, i don't think it'll change the behaviors of what the biden regime has done up to this point because they certainly were involved nefarious activities and ukraine. long and we'll continue to keep an eye on this one nation survey lab rock praise the strengthening of ties between the 2 nations, just system naga. nowadays, the collective west is trying hard to weaken independence across many regions in
5:27 pm
the world. that's why it's so important to unite efforts to counteract the attempts of duct at blackmail and illegal unilateral prussia over the past few years. it's become clear to every one that dependence on the u. s. dollar dependence on those principles of globalization that the americans themselves have been introducing for many years, does not lead to any good up all these principles, including the free market fair competition, the viability of property, the presumption of innocence, all these principles shared by the americans and the allies can be broken in a day if they need to punish someone for disobedience if they need to get their competitors out of the white you're the saw through the russian foreign minister and his venezuelan counterpart also discussed different ways of cooperating in building a new multi fuller world order based on democratic principles, caracas is lab. rob's latest off and his diplomatic tour of latin america previously visited brazil, where he think the president, for efforts to mediate peace jobs that would end the war and ukraine. washington,
5:28 pm
however condemned to brazil's moves accusing it of parenting russian propaganda. lab. rob is also expected to visit nicaragua and cuba in the coming days aiming to boost cooperation and build stronger political and economic ties. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah oh. so during the 2nd world war in nazi occupied, poland valencia was a farming region today as part of ukraine between 19431945 members of the
5:29 pm
ukrainian insurgent army, led by step on bendara. nasa could thousands of poles in virginia in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process. the mergers were particularly horrific and brutal villages were burned and property looted the bellini. a massacre is without doubt, one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. why are ukrainian politicians still reluctant to talk about these events? how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past? and why does the memory of belinda still divide people ah, i think in the north south there is a much clearer understanding of the causes meeting up to this crisis. even though the western position is that it is an unprovable.
