death is deal unknown, but the number of victims is in millions. having been the majority on the continent before the indigenous people make up less than 3 percent of the us population today . ah, the u. s. has started a crusade against russia's legitimate interest and culture bads, according to russia's foreign minister speaking in cuba, on the last stop of his latin american tour. also this, our facebook takes his stance against revelations over washington's role in blowing up the north stream pipelines by flagging his false reports by investigative journalist seymour hersh. more and more troops saw why we need to build a good of copa, hobbs ahead of the expected ukrainian counter offensive, which may will to take blue here as moscow and key at prepare for what looks like

a rooming escalation are correspond. it says event directly from the front lines of the war with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is r t international. i'm rachel beloved here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. we have confirmed our solidarity in international affairs. that's according to russia's foreign minister survey, rob rob, who was speaking after a meeting with the president of cuba. they both agreed to work together to resist us attempts for global domination. cuba is the final stop on law for all this latin american to were let's use them because just as well, if you are asking about russian american relations, we don't have any particular relations. we only discuss things out of necessity and issues that arise and the activities of our embassies, and also with the regard to attempts by the united states to abuse its position as

the host country of the united nations lab rather also visited nicaragua this week and how talks with the countries president, daniel ortega, they discuss it deeper partnership. it's been the nation's progress on current projects and the impact of us sanctions. meanwhile, speaking with his cuban counterpart, the russian foreign minister touched on the current ukrainian grain deal claiming that the poorest countries are being denied much needed supplies to sneer, wilbur would be more honest to buy cheap. ukrainian grain is supplied free of charge to the ports. countries that need food, but the european union and the united states, and not interested in this, as they are interested in a long distance, commercialization of grain exports to the solar. this is their 4th, and the last stop of sergei love roth. so latin american journey here in cuba, he has had some traditional activities. as for example,

he alight everything at jose, marty monument. then he had a and meeting whiskey is cuban of counterparts. bruno road that he gets battery. yeah. and we actually had a good opportunity to stand in the very same room where they were speaking. and here's the beginning all for their speech. the so they a cuban minister, a bruno, to that he gets up, but he ha, applauded the russian efforts to stop the expansion at alpha they, anita, and also he urged her to to find that pisa, any ukraine as soon as possible. meanwhile sergey loved froth condemned to once again, and that the sanctions sent that united states imposed against cuba . also after this meeting, sorry, he had sergey lopper off a met a cuban and president miguel diaz a canal. and afterwards he offered to add press conference. it's been quite

a journey for countries. sorry e for in day says sergey love, roll cress, visited cuba, nicaragua, venezuela and in brasil. and, and this actually generated a lot of criticism from the western countries. meanwhile sergey la for orfa seemed to have launched a clear message to on the west that i in spite of all their efforts saw to oppress rush. moscow will still continue having good relationships with historical friends, the editor of brazil, 247 summer. i believe the survey lab rob's visit shows the balance of power is changing away from the u. s. and towards multi polarity. the character such recent trips as the intention of really solidifying relations

with those countries that chose not to simply follow the policies that are being carried by the united states and new members. and who seek sort of more independent position, which is the keys of resume in particular. i don't really think west and here the call for him to sanctions because the sanctions have to be understood as a political to, to really for states into following particular agenda in the keys of the states which don't comply with the broad view which is imposed by the united states, as the world is really facing money, mental change. now we see the balance of power. really changing, not in favor, the united states, but rather favor of what we would call multiple narrative. turning to the latest on

the war and ukraine or russian forces claim they've destroyed 3 cranium tanks, several armored vehicles. i mean how with their artillery gun in the run this republic ortiz, my god, yet sent us this exclusive report on the front lines. russian and ukrainian forces stand braced for the coming onslaught across a 1000 kilometers. this is one small section of it. we are just west of least chance copper, a slag hill. and from here there's a spectacular view of the battlefield. this nearby village is controlled by russia . bill of good just beyond math is below garasco, which is which is where ukranian troops ha, concentrated. we're learning that more and more troops are arriving to belgrade of copper. hobbs ahead of the expected ukrainian counter offensive,

which may also take place here as this. the geography is conducive of ha, a big ahmed offensive it's. it's all rolling plains to the other side. is another intense battlefield over there behind those lag hills is grima nyah and the forests there between came and i am glad god of course have been again and absolutely vicious battle ground for for many, many months now v a ukrainian positions are a barely a killer belly, a kilometer into those woods where you crane masses, men, and material russian guns are quickly brought to bear. they never stay long. in one position. count a battery far necessitates rotation. they've plenty of spots. russia has 4 to 5 in

depth with trenches, mine field stitches and anti tank obstacles in the air. jets roar ah, lose repairs suits with the farm clothes, god supports aircraft. they work ceaselessly here on this sector of the front line, firing predominantly unguided missiles ah jet set and drones pound, ukrainian troops and armor ceaselessly, native supplied the army and vehicles, litter the battlefield in all the troops here are confident that they'll be able to ride out ukraine's offensive little thing, at least. yes, i am of them rouse good. where holding the line that the situation is stable, the guys are ready to repel any attack. that element were in this folder with

confident that the enemy won't manage to take over all sorts of fight area. the only ones we should is at its highest we will determine our tag and with cancer attack our south, both artillery and now the asian back us. so there is nothing was scandal here yet . say the conflict may soon reach its violent peak, but the risks keep mounting hostility between russia and nato, as well as its allies, is stronger than ever. if there is a situation the international community can not condone such as any large scale attack on civilians, massacre or serious violation of the laws of war, it might be difficult for us to insist only on humanitarian or financial support. this hostility is still escalating. washington seems determined to ring its allies for weapons. no matter how reluctant they may seem. ayesha as always takes its own steps. there are new people willing to help our enemies,

south korean president you and suck your said his state is ready to supply weapons to the key of regime. that's as until recently, the south koreans fervently assured that the possibility of supplying lethal weapons to key of was completely excluded. i wonder what the residence of this country will say when they see the latest samples of russian weapons at their closest neighbors, are partners from the dpr k, quid pro quo, so to speak. the risk of a right away escalation, open and direct conflict between nato and russia, is at his all time high. and he, regardless of how successful ukraine's counter offensive ease is a high chance that one will the other side will decide to raise the stakes. even higher, more i'd gasdio haughty formula ganske region face that has taken possession on the debate over who is behind the noise room pipeline

explosions. by flagging the report, i promise to invest of journalist seymour hersh as false. the bombshell story, the child, the secret rural washington played in the destruction of the pipeline which russia has called an act of international terrorism. but facebook has decided to red flag the article and it's news feed and is limiting the content and labeling it as false . the social media giant said it vetted the story through an independent norwegian fact checker, as well as a site called stop fate dot org, which happens to be based in ukraine and claims that hirsch's work is known for promoting conspiracies and pure speculation. hirsch's revelations about nord stream are not alone and facing facebook restrictions. another report on the scale of corruption and key at has been flagged. according to wikileaks, the online platforms role as com is simply taking its cue from western mainstream media, where negative information related to the ukranian conflict is ignored. i point out

the most of the western mainstream media ignored this report by seymour hersh in an essay to me, the sucker bird cop says that a reputable and independent organisation ruled that the report is false. when you look at it, the judge in the case turns out to be an association and key f in ukraine. stop fake dot org. detailed information is not available about the financing of the association. however, it is informed that it is through free donations, collections and sponsors. only a few of them are named, including the british embassy and key f, and the check foreign ministry. according to dirt, sam welly a senior research fellow at the global policy institute of one. then facebook is known for censoring content to stay in the good graces of western leaders. they have been doing the bidding of political leaders and censoring

content as this information and fake i in accordance with the political wishes of their masters. it's essentially banning and removing from its platform. so anything had tool that is displeasing to the political leaders of the west. stop faith dog, which is in ukraine. it enjoys funding for from western governments. and then you have the person that they assign fact checking to which has been the mo, who is employed by the atlantic council. the atlantic counselors go course a nato think tank. what counts is fact checking is simply, are you using official western governmental sources to challenge other views of alternative media and trying to abuse that government find offensive but by the administration would not authorize the shooting or the rest of the

bomber who targeted the cobble airport during the chaotic he was withdrawn from afghanistan, those were the revelations her during a fiery session at the house oversight and accountability committee. it revealed the us new the identity of the bomber, but chose not to act on it. the attack and august 2021 killed 13 u. s. troops and 170 afghans. we had identified the bomb or our jail guys did their work. the bod administration were not authorized to shoot in, nor the a rush of the bomber that killed the start to americans. and our charity of our afghan was wounded a maimed many, many others y y y. well the hearings on. busy capitol hill brought us back to the debacle surrounding the u. s. military's whole out of afghanistan, and there was that horrendous bombing that killed 13 us service members. and

a 170 afghans were gathered at the airport, trying to flee in mid the pullout. now, what is important to note is the testimony pretty clearly established at 4 days prior to the bombing, the united states became aware of an i e d bomb task that was being conducted when was anticipating some kind of terrorist attack and that among the crowd, it was picked out who the bomber was, and they were waiting for the order to either shoot or arrest the potential bomber . here's some testimony we heard from a u. s. marine over the communication network. we passed that there was a potential threat and an idea attack eminent. this was a series that could get request engagement authority, while my team leader was ready on the m on 10, some automatic sniper system. the response leadership did not have the engagement authority for us. do not engage. now the man you just heard testifying there

a us marine sergeant. i was told to go among the crowd and find a translator. and while he was in the crowd looking for a translator, the last occur and he lost his arm and his leg in that devastating bombing. now, in addition to hearing the testimony from u. s. military personnel about what went on amid and chaotic afghan whole out. we also heard from robert stork representing the u. s. department of defense and he testified about the need for oversight and how the pentagon has adjusted some of its procedures. following the withdrawal, we pivoted our work, a d o d i o i g to deal with some emergency air drive time my time has expired. do you have data regarding well, what i, what i was gonna say is we've not had oversight work on that. now, but as i testified, we did obtain a copy of the administrations after action and we're actively reviewing that now.

and if there's additional oversight were already do i do. it was now while biting wouldn't authorize the effort to prove that this horrendous bombing from occurring and the hands of the military appeared, had been tied in preventing this, this devastating blast. what was authorized was a retaliatory strike by the united states afterwards. and in that strike, the world saw how 3 adults and 7 children lost their lives or we're larvae and parliament has outlawed in public celebration of the may 9th anniversary of the soviet victory over nazi germany. bobby in authority, have been all fireworks processions and other public festivities on may 9th and until 7 in the morning the following day. the vote was unanimous despite the fact that more than 40 percent of the lot be in population are ethnic russians. the editor in chief of vault news outlined the reasons behind the ban. a middle floor

my knees. russians are being forcibly re educated because russians in lot of year no longer have any rights. they have been deprived of the opportunity to receive education in their native language. the russian language has been removed from the public space and no holidays and their heroes are being taken away from them, their paternity to honor their memory. this isn't a question of solidarity with the key of political elite. this has been done consistently with the aim of deprive in russia, in latvia of all basic rights and the opportunity to remain bean russian. therefore, now, even if not every one, but many people as such, the ukrainian regime as near nancy. and it is clear that symbolism has definitions and made the 9th, when it comes to valleys and memories. lottery wants to break this connection. there are no political forces in lot via that could vote against the korean situation. and if there was such a brave person who would vote against, there was simply be expelled from politics. there are such mechanisms when people can be accused of treason and criminal cases can be initiated. they have always

been anton russian sentiments in law fair. but a green light has been given to day. so everything is allowed, for example, arrest in russian activists initiating, fabricated criminal cases and forcing them out of the country. the motivation is absolutely ridiculous, what kind of democracy and pluralism can we talk about. but they actually due, although up to 40 percent of the population has no political representation and cannot exercise their rights can or celebrate holidays and other their heroes. a contract as the between colon and france as hindering him the nation deliveries to key at that as the 2 countries top diplomats failed to reach agreement over where the spoils from the e you would and that i would she contribute? rachel, marcia has more. queen ursula literally just finished admonishing all the kiddies in the u. schoolyard over the need for unity at all cost against china. and already it seems like they found something else that they disagree on. sources are now telling the western press, the countries are caught up in arguing about whether funding earmarked by brussels

for ammunition production for ukraine and to replenish member states own supplies should be spent inside europe as france is arguing, or whether that cache ultimately taken from the pockets of taxpayers of member states, let's not forget, should fuel weapons production in the us or in the u. k. as poland reported the once arguing that it would mean that ukraine would get the ammo faster. right now, the made in europe camp is reportedly winning the debate, but it's not settled. and here's how important chief, you, diplomat years of burrell considered this issue to be back in february, we will have anything we can use in base facility to provide financing, looking for dig, waging ways to be in defense agency, and again, commission altogether week and to come up birches, asking the member to stage to gave bob political files for the ukranian army is as

much urgent issue. he will fate on that. really the result of the will is in danger. look, you're not getting anything but grief out of the conflict in ukraine. the block now has an over dependence on pricey american energy, and the result can be seen in the streets across europe. routinely with citizens protesting inflation and cost of living increases with no real end in sight to any of this either. and european industry is being tempted to jump ship to the us with subsidies. and while the fact that they also have energy over there that is not in short supply. so when the e u reaches into this giant black hole of cash into which all the members state contributions just typically disappear and proposes to start handy out free cash from it. like how we handy to weapons manufacturers. it's a no brainer. the countries like france that largely subsidize other you countries, light pole in through the block and also have weapons manufacturers are going to

seize that opportunity to take whatever cash shaking yet. and if france in europe want to maintain strategic autonomy and independence from washington, a concept that french president a manual that call has been promoting and that seems to have been gaining traction recently. according to european council president shahan michelle. then they're not just going to want to sit back and let the u. s. military industrial complex be the only western economic engine that gets fed by all the public hash being blown on this western spending is free for ukraine. it's not exactly surprising that poland is going to bat for manufacturers outside of the e. u. though, just last month, britain's armed forces minister said that poland asked the pay to replace the $4.00 make 20 nines that warsaw sent to ukraine. basically, they gave away all their old clothes to their neighbor and now figure that they can score a whole new wardrobe courtesy of britain. warsaw also received $1200000000.00 in defense equipment from the u. s. over a 2 year period. and it's prime minister mateus morrow wiki said recently that the

country wants to service us abrams tanks and even make toxic depleted uranium for them on polish soil. no reaction to that, by the way, from the enviro conscious, you guess they were too busy calculating the carbon footprint of how flatulence. so it now looks like the interests of poland, military industrial, complex or elsewhere. and that's also where they would like the you funding to go now please. elsewhere k here. some news for warsaw. yes. who's paying the used bills? and therefore your bills, france largely and germany as well. the 2 big donors to the block and poland sounding a bit like a spoiled kid who doesn't seem to care. mom and dad are struggling financially because well, there's always the option to go hit a sugar daddy, uncle sam on the other side of the atlantic. but now by demanding that you funds be spent outside the block it loosely, poland also now wants mom and dad to pay for uncle sam. a u. s.

government agency has launched a project with a popular children's television program dedicated to a rock and its culture. does is by washington leading one of the bloodiest wars of the 21st century, which reportedly claimed 800000 civilian lives in the rocky region. u. s. a id says the program will promote inclusion and respect among children. iraq is historically known for its diverse cultures, religions and ethnicities. decades of conflict and economic strife have left a mark on the country and its people, especially children, learn about how usaid and sesame, what shall by celebrating a rog, diversity. this is such a heart warming and exciting project. i'm a special looking forward to the sesame street character, a beep who was born without an arm and has only one nostril because the u. s. military contaminated his tone with depleted uranium. this is what diversity looks like. how exactly did they end up with decades of conflict and economic strife?

any ideas, samantha, i hope to learn more about how a rog reach such a state with the help of us aid and puppets. just to remind you, the 2003 war in iraq was a us led invasion with the coalition forces aiming to overthrow the government led by saddam hussein. the conflicts lasted a decade and took the lives of at least a $100000.00 civilians. according to iraqi estimates, we talked to an independent politician who says the program wouldn't be accepted on rocky t v. we and iraq says her greatly and still suffering on the occupation of the you as forces after 2003. and the responsibility of the occupying forces did not raised the standard of their treating. a treatment of iraqi people on the opposite side they,

they allowed corruption, their loud violence. they instigated the sectarian violence in iraq, and they cause the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent iraqi civilians. i here in iraq, we have enough seats of the parliament to block any such educational programs. this is something completely unacceptable in the middle east . and as i said to, we have enough seats in the parliament to block any such interference in the local affairs or for the republic of iraq. washington says it will continue to supply weapons to taiwan, but talk you as the official signed decline to speculate on if or when the chinese military might use force against the island. oh, ah.

united states plays a major strategic role in the, in the city with 375000 personnel. there's a vast network of operations that extend from hawaii move away to india. ah, we've talked a lot this year about the growing threats we face from the ccp. they've triple defense spending in a decade. and that's what they admit. 2. 0, [000:00:00;00] a

. what's most alarming is the increasingly provocative actions. president z has taken in recent years, pushing out china's borders with new defense agreements and military bases, and for nations illegally building militarized islands and try to limit freedom of navigation in the south china sea, threatening our allies in the region when they worked with us. and cozying up to proven, and the toller and other tyrants. ah, it's gotten to the point where these foreign ministry is now seeking to intimidate the speaker of the house and other members of congress, just for supporting democracy and self determination for the people taiwan.

ah ah, we're in a world of her. i think it's about democracy and freedom ah . was turned now to an update on a story we've been following in the last hour or so. a large blast that rocked the russian city of belgrade. the russian events ministry now says it was caused by quote, an unplanned descent at aviation ammunition. the explosion left part of a nearby housing complex damage. emergency services are at the scene and have told people to evacuate the area. 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

with you k defense secretary ben wallace recently said i'm optimistic between this year and the next year. i think ukraine will continue to have the momentum with it and a position of strength. he also said there is no magic one moment when russia
