steve ah ah shaw, still ring y'all or tell him to the sudanese army agrees 2 or 3 days since far with our military forces in the country coming as locals to mountain the warring sides to stop the bloodshed lost advice to these troops to stop this war i swear that there is no winter in this war, there is destruction losing and robbery. concerns grow in washington that the vast sums of money being sent to you praying is ripe for pillaging the usaa kind of in just a year is set to surpass the phones given to afghanistan over 2 decades. dozens of ministers and you found that face trial on charges of stealing buildings applied year mark for the nations for risk here from outraged residents. we want their

political leaders how to talk to them. they're not still in government. instilling now what we paid thought sandy stuff. nope, that is the only way with 70 m. n can shell set 3 p. m. and so line 9 in the morning, this sum of 8 in middle school. welcome to then use our on our we begin in sudan where shelling, rock the country's capital late on friday, that comes despite the country's military and the opposition faction. having announced a 72 hour cease fire for the muslim holiday of artillery fire reportedly continued in cartoon throughout the night. dealing a blow. 2 attempts to stop the pilots. the rapid support forces are fighting the military currently control major report. some say they are ready to open them,

so foreign governments can evacuate their nationals. a power struggle devolved into a full scale conflict in the capital a week ago as the r s f paramilitary group. engage with government rates on brits have died in the nation already reliant on humanitarian food aid, which is tips into the united nations calls now as well on friday, many parts of the muslim world mark the end of the holy month of ramadan with festivities. but in sudan bottles have overshadowed the celebrations. as gunshots rang out across cartoon and heavy smoke balloon over the skyline, some devoured residence still went to prey. open the conflict, insert anya to them that i in sudan is destined to place hardships. it must be god's will that we spend ead mixed with the sounds of gunfire and the taste of blood instead of what we had hoped for, eat with sweets and with paste trees,

with happy children and with people greeting relatives that the separation is difficult. it must have heel a last advice to these troops, east of stop this war lie, you know. i swear that there is no winner in this war. there is destruction losing and robberies and how will we hadn't found this eat at all while there is sadness for the lost lives. the destruction and looting abilene will believe this. it is different from previous once, as it comes while we are on the bombing, we're the pure blood that has been shed and the chair that people are living in the past days, as the blessing of security has been taken away. or keen to find the culprit for the unrest, and so down the mainstream media has turned to russia. western outlets accused the wagner private military company of supporting opposition forces against the countries military r t corresponding carabas. let us, i can take us through that. western media has never needed encouragement to blame russia for anything. and the past week in particular,

they have really loudly stood on mountains and bang the drama about how russia and particular, the vegan, a private military group has been blamed for what's happening in the sudan rushes paramilitary proxy group. wagner has begun to try and influence one of the policies russia as missionary group, wagner has been arming sedans, paramilitary, rapid support forces via libya. a russian resupply campaign, backed by a key regional plan, aimed at turning the tide in sedans was in favor of the recess, is the west has failed. not only just redone, but the region as a whole. there is still insurgency, even despite the better part of 2 decades in that region, seeing that the will help to stabilize. this of course, follows largely from the overthrow of the libyan government and one mcgaffey.

and that has set of that kid among the pages in this a hell as it were. but no, and i want peace for the sudanese people. i also want to ask for the opportunity to send plains with medicines and everything necessary to saddam at my own expense. the thing that was mentioned in the west, no, not at all. they're not trying to paint a logical to her at all. they're trying to spoon feed their audiences, hoping that none will be the wife. but surely, audiences amal critical because the founder of the regular military group that's not deny, being involved in african countries. because as we have seen, he is clearly in molly, clearly and the chet and many other countries. but therein lies the logic that he is not send me when a directive to destabilize or destroy anything. the wagner group did not commit any

crimes. they tried to stick various crimes in various parts of the world to us. but unlike the american paramilitary structures, wagner, p. m. c, destroys only the enemies of the world and does not commit crimes who arranged was revolutions in career, vietnam, afghanistan, libya, syria, mozambique, central africa, and so on. pmc wagner later came do some of these countries and stopped the walls with an iron fist, but in no other attempt. of course, there was this one by the italian government, now magnates responsible for the increase in migrate through the central part of the main caribbean. and this is all part of the mosque was playing to the stabilize europe and go with that. so what you crave, i think it is now safe to say that the exponential increase in the migratory phenomenon, departure from african shores, is also part of a clear strategy. of hybrid warfare that the wagner division is implementing,

using its considerable weight in some african countries. we have no idea what's happening with the migrant crisis. we don't concern ourselves with it really that, that vegan has been reduced to now. my grand growing. they could develop russia whose interest, a vegan of group defend, is involved in the for hell. legion is further helping those countries, both the via security as well as the a hard way in terms of defending themselves against the numerous a mound of rebel groups that continue to terrorize their collective countries and the region all the while claiming large sweets of land as though, when minister lovegrove was here in the continent, he expressed the fact that molly will continue to receive the support from moscow, and that was of military hardway and no house. as russians will continue

to train the military of miley, in order to be able to fight this affair gently on it. so that, of course, that might be just too much good news for the way of saying with this story, a political adviser for sedans, rapid support forces commented on the 3rd party mediation offers saying that as long as such initiatives do not take the profit from the conflict, the faction is open to talks. so we don't mind considering mediation. all we ask from the mediators is that they do not seek to take advantage of the situation. and sudan, sudan is important to the whole world. we are for any initiative that would stop the fighting and would carry out the surrender of abra, hon. and bring him to justice. the initiative should be offered from an impartial country from a country that can objectively assess what is happening on the ground and not through media reports. i think it's up to the people sedan close, a friend,

a standard that america has never been there to be friends with anyone around that make us so that it's all political and a national interest and tell you russia and the russian federation. good in there for my usaa is known to have us. you see the menu button momentum according to me. and in this case, once again, it seems coming off at the say a quote for the people. so that kind of what they say and have independent employee sit in the country. so when i get off from one is going to be accepted by this, the people i think that they would have to look beyond that to offer. and they look at their long term interest of this menus. people a, comes at a time when the americans have been trying to sort,

discard the incident to work with done. whereas we know that a has been in that particular region. and many of us on the continent try to, i don't the say bullish tactics in the national geopolitical affairs, and meddling into many of the african countries in affairs. let's keep attention on this. a hell reach in the vast african area is facing a devastating hunger crisis of levels not seen in over a decade. according to a new you and report, 16 and a half 1000000 children will reportedly face a cute malnutrition in 2023, which is over 80 percent more than what's been experienced in recent years. it comes as regional conflicts of this place. thousands disrupted,

essential social services. we heard from local about the situation there in this is super easy. this situation was predictable. so far we do not have a good agricultural policy in this a how this area does not have sufficient rainfall. so we have to think about production and ensure the safety of the seedlings. not too long ago humanitarian aid was restricted here in niger. so this needs to be lifted so they can rescue the population in, in, in the bill because of insecurity in climate changes in this hell this situation should have been expected. the states and their technical and financial partners have to work to find a face for this situation that he bought from the world food program speaks of the moment, tricia and food insecurity. that is very bad for us. this means that we're still going to have to ask for outside help with or the w if p reporter is very through that if drastic lazarus are not taken,

there will be famine. even now people are hungry. the only way to fix this is with the government will wi fi and the people coming together to help. this is the only way insecurities, the main problem. the only way to fix this is to have more security and help farmers to grow abundant food was good. there was another story were across today. the hungarian prime minister has questioned and nato statement that all members agree that ukraine should join the military alliance. budapest as long said, it will blocky of suspension if it continues to violate the rights of ethnic hungarians in ukraine. artie contributor rachel morrison has been looking into what the contentious move could me nato secretary general. yes. stilton bert cleared. he shocked hungarian prime minister victor or bon with talk of ukraine joining nato on his trip to kiev. had a meeting with nato ally, defense ministers on ukrainian military aid at the alliance's,

ramstein airbase and germany oldenburg acknowledged that ukrainian leaders. we're set to press nato on joining the alliance at that meeting. now it's a basic principle of nato membership that you can integrate the alliance when you're in an active state of armed conflict with another country. if only because natives collective defense article 5 would mean that the many, the country at war is brought in huge native bold. all of the nato allies would then have an obligation to defend it overtly in that conflict. which in the case of ukraine would mean that instead of ukraine versus russia, it would be all of nato versus russia overtly. so new membership for ukraine, we kind of be like buying a ready made kids for world war 3, which is why or bond is wondering what the heck is going on right now in stoughton birds head. just have a listen to how stilton berg position on this issue has evolved on we support

ukraine on this pulse. a boy is supporting a forms fighting corruption on molding noise thing that security and defense institutions to become a member of nato. you have to meet the natal standards under has to be a decision by 30 our laws and it has been cleared for a long time. that a membership for ukraine was not something that was imminent or not. so something was relevant in the near future or the sessional membership of course, has been taken by all 30 allies on take these positions. bought a consensus. only dollars have agreed upon ukraine will become a, a member, but still tender did temper history in a tweet from here saying that quote, ukraine's rightful place is in nato and over time, our support will help make this possible. you know, this sounds like the line that someone feeds a partner to whom they don't want to actually commit,

but still want them to stick around in the relationship. you know, dear, over time i'm certain that this will blossom into an absolutely wonderful marriage, then to keep them on board, you shower them, what they expect to get in cash. just so they hang in there, hoping, praying, even if it's killing them, which is literally the case or ukrainian. of course, they're the old cautionary thing that comes to mind. why would nato buy the whole, how, when they're already getting to milk for free? as former us secretary state hillary clinton said last december quote, the ukrainians have proven that they are a really good investment for the united states. they're not asking us to be there to fight their war. they're fighting it themselves. yeah. for you to. so the ukrainians are out there fighting russians in narrows interests in the us as interests while nato is able to fulfill its anti rush, found disease from the comfort of organ nomic recliners while pumping 55000000000 us dollars in the military ages. that figure comes from us defense secretary lloyd

austin recently. and of course it's that western military industrial complex, that's a huge beneficiary of that 8. so you have to wonder where exactly the incentive is for nato to move beyond the status quo. idle talk unless promises and all this, particularly when the downside risk being nothing less than world war. well, while ukraine may not yet have its membership card in hand, the u. s. has said to train ukrainian soldiers to use it's most advanced times. washington, initially pledge to provide $31.00 m one a to a brims to kias, but the pentagon will instead send older versions. reports say production of the new tanks may still be years away. the u. s. defense secretary laid on the timeline for what ukraine can expect. we've also expedited, or you want abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armor capability in the coming months and the ones that the ukrainians will use for training arrive here in

germany in the next few weeks. what we see here is wary. interesting game for escalation of the corner, like it's like a speaking to them under the midst of the bees, we'd order more dose and very like uncertain future for so go back, you bench or d regina as well. these are grainy and national is troops i receiving. i don't see that there are any game changers coming if and when few of them will find out their way to the front line a long way to go by the region in the weapon industry. it's called fear factor, and the whole waste has teached seems the gulf war. these do, these are believable power of the abram,

thanks for the or julio bar to the western tanks. and these hollywood style fear factor is now on the game because if they send of these machines to the dormer, they will be destroyed in big numbers in all numbers. what can be huge? there will be stuck on the roads and in the roads. they are easy targets for, for the russian defenders. and when does happen, and it will happen when the picture will start to flow to the western audience. the fear factor, all these tanks will do, it used almost certainly do 0. well, while washington continues to infuse ukraine with military and financial packages, the u. s. inspector general for the reconstruction of afghanistan has worn up the money center t of is at risk of being pillaged. if american officials don't go there and see what's happening. just look at the amount of money we're spending in ukraine is

about a $100.00. $13000000000.00 of that right? this summer we will surpass all the money we spend for reconstruction, which was the train advise and assist mission in afghanistan for 20 years. this summer we will surpass all the money we spent from marshall plan to rebuild all of europe after world war 2. that money is flowing like manner from the sky. if you don't get in there soon, you're going to see pill fridge. while washington has provided ukraine with some $30000000000.00 of what the u. s. calls financial assistance, possibly loans, will it have to be paid back? who knows, along with tens of billions insecurity. and of course, that huge amount in arms and ammunition as well. indeed, overall, since february last year in the u. s. how spent $113000000000.00 on ukraine creeping towards the total amount spent on afghanistan over a full 2 decades. let's indeed show you all those zeroes in comparison. the

$150000000000.00 of american taxpayer dollars have gone to afghanistan since 2001 this figured just under half of it went on military hardware. almost 40000000000. it's outing off, isn't it spent on both economic and humanitarian aid? the u. s. inspector general has spoken about the continuing issues with aid to the conflict. written asian country saying that even after 20 years, the lack of monitoring remains a problem. the 2nd problem is right now we're paying the salaries of all ukrainian civil servants. ready oh, most of them and who's paying them? us aid and usa is pumping money in giving it to the ukrainians to pay the salaries bus in afghanistan, the department of defense was involved in paying the salaries and over 20 years. it could not come up with a system to guarantee that we were paying the salaries of real afghans. will. this

all comes as a group of us lawmakers penned the joint letter this week. the president biden criticizing his administration's policy of continually aiding ukraine on promising to oppose future supplies. if the goals aren't here. a proxy war with russia in ukraine is not in the strategic interest of the united states. our national and economic security demand and alternative unrestrained us aid for ukraine must come to an end. and we will adamantly oppose all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring this war to a rapid conclusion. international consultant and analysts url rozmini's unsafe thou washington lux, fiscal restraint when it comes to shipping funds to ukraine on u. s. citizens are becoming increasingly that all you know, if you hear the rhetoric coming out of the department in the white house, it's like, it's a bottomless. yeah. we are already paid for the government, civil servants. i think we're paying military salaries as well. i mean,

we're paying pension, i mean we, we cover, we're covering stuff for ukrainian that we don't cover for our own citizens. we've got so many problems here that drug flowing across the border. we've got accidents happening. we've just had another explosion of been today. that was horrible, other chemical type to disclose and you've got to, you know, how i got issues in our schools. you know, people are fed up, they are fed up and at some point it will back where in the but right now we've got a state where we've got a policy dean that is going full, bore ahead. no back back at all. no off ran plan new strategy and we've got to white house that supporting as well. so it's very dangerous situation and it's dangerous for us in dangers from the world. the at that it, well a must have corruption,

scandal has rock the east african nation of uganda. with dozens of ministers charged with stealing taxpayers money. this is unprecedented in the history of the national resistant movements administration. all this administers and a m. p. 's are connected to the diversion of wiring sheets, mental cur, emoji province, and does directed by the presidents. all must be taken to court unknown, said the charges. if phone's culpable, the detained officials are accused of embezzling funds, which had been the remark to provide housing for the country's most pearl unstable regions. it's led to a massive public. i'd cry. citizens urged the country's president to seek action, calling for the prosecution of the prime minister. i'm the vice president. they don't look at the interests of the dental and lots of people. they sell themselves . they're not stealing government yags, you think stealing what talks? because we pay talks and we start to look,

that is the only way we can benefit. i believe when they're asking for that money. they ask for that people again, if so, then so them and then the bits, i didn't quite select. others don't do it because people need is not stealing a local report income. paula sent us this breakdown of the situation as it's what you know so far is the meaning of voice. some have been charging the courts on monday to region and they seem to be out by the weekend 40 by this condo sh shuttle. and they've been to be very high ranking references from the west by me suppose before. i mean 20 other meanings for the petitions involved or above mid port before the members of the building or senior ministers. you could say that the president himself must be shot back to people. so most of the key mother was

what the, the scandal. but that time it is more that people what close the residents have always been much done again at this time or on decision on himself is very tight corner to protect them anymore. so he had to order the police, investigate, and the government to make sure that these people apprehended. so the only thing to see what the, just in the budget suggestion, another twist in a long running saga, the us secretary of state. i'm funny, blink. and was instrumental in suggesting that the scandals will lead burger and hunter biden's law top files were tied to a russian disinformation campaign. that's the revelation coming out of testimony from the former deputy director of the central intelligence agency. ortiz came up and takes it from there. michael morale, a former deputy cia director,

and he was also one of the signatories of this letter from 519 talent officials. saying that they believed that the scandal surrounding hunter biden's laptop was originated in moscow. some kind of russian operation here is some of what this letter sat. we write to say that the arrival on the u. s. political scene of e mails purportedly belonging to vice president biden. son hunter, has all the classic year marks of a russian information operation. we want to emphasize the, we do not know if the emails are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of russian involvement. just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the russian government played a significant role in this case. as you can see, the language of the letter itself says they don't really have any evidence. this story regarding the hunter bind laptop is simply a propaganda span or count kind of conspiracy from russia. however,

i appears they were comfortable putting their names on a letter saying just that and urging the media not to cover the 100 by laptops scandal. now, from what we understand, this new testimony indicates that they received a phone call from a very prominent person, prompting them to sign this ladder. here's what michael morale testified. prior to secretary blinking call, he did not have any intent to write the statement. i did not, so who's called triggered that intent and you did? yes, absolutely. what was the intent of the statement? one intent was to share a concern about russians with the american people and to it was to help vice president boynton. so it appears that an individual who was functioning as a senior adviser to the biden campaign, and has since been appoint secretary of state by joe biden, was key in putting forward ocean that somehow the scandal surrounding hunter

biden's laptop was a russian conspiracy. now at this point, we have major news outlets in the united states saying that actually the hunter biden laptop was real. that was not a false news item. and furthermore, it appears that efforts to wipe out of the media and efforts by, you know, to ban the new york post stories about at twitter and facebook banning and suppressing any reporting on the hunter, bide, laptop, scandal, and all kinds of the various business deals. and criminal activities that appear to have been revealed by the hunter, by a laptop that was done a part of the manner. so they use the allegation that somehow they conspiracy from russia to suppress a story that we now acknowledge was true then they did. so in a partisan manner to help bite when he was running for president of the united states. this is just the latest in a string of revelations revealing that a real scandal involving the man who became president of the day was suppressed by

us mainstream media in a partisan manner in order to probably influence election results. so this is quite, quite a revelation. we're just staying with this story, dr. michael rectinwald's, former liberal studies professor at new york university phase washington wanted to shift the blame onto moscow the hide the apparent crimes committed by the biden family. we know that the story was not russian. this information we knew this from the outset, this is just another attempt. it was another attempt to cast aspersions on russia and to blame them for effectively what was, in fact, a matter of significant financial chicanery and payoffs to the biden family in connection with joe biden. and his son

and his brother, all of these people in the biden syndicate criminal syndicate, i would add they then used russia as a deflection from the fact that they've been running this kind of a criminal cartel within the government. for years they'll punish the people that expose the fat.
