[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, thick smoke billows from the airport in sudan capital after a fire or robs. that's as foreign. national had been trying to flee the country during a 72 hours. these fire between warring factions, concerns grow in washington with a vast sums of money being sent to you. praying could restore that as the total u. s. expenditure he had since last year is set to surpass all the funds given to afghanistan over to decade period. and dozens of ministers in uganda based trial on charges was feeling building supplied year marks for the nations. for us,

we hear from outraged residents who want their political leaders held accountable. they're not still in government. good. still, you know what talk with that we're doing and we were going to be with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. and we begin in sudan where a fire has a rub, did, and the capitals airport during a scheduled evacuation of foreign nationals. that's the area where foreigners, from the u. s. the u. k. france and china are said to be fling from the conflict in the north, east african nation. the rapids support forces which are fighting against the national military, currently control the airport. saudi arabia has also sent a naval ship to the port of sudan city of port sudan to help evacuate people. the

vessel has already returned to its homeland with 50 evacuees on board, in total away be as now evacuated more than $150.00 people. meanwhile, jordan has also announced its intention to extract people from the conflict sound while italy transferred almost to doesn't to neighboring egypt. the measures are being conducted amid announced 72 hours cease fire. although it's been frequently broken. with sporadic violets, a local journalist sent this report despite the death throes that has been announced by the board, but warring parties her from since yesterday from the 7th day. but we, we also had a lot of gunfire, an extension of shelling and bomb being. there was a huge, a black smoke all emerging from the courtroom international, airport air, which prompted de sudanese civil abuse. and also to issue statement that the cut

him international airport will remain suspend. i mean we remain shut down until the end of april. so as i speak, yes, the car to the international airport is not operational and a, which is, which is making it very difficult for the diplomatic missions and un employees and other foreigners who are stuck here. sudan is stranded and they are unable to move . the only move that was made possible and save this morning was that the more than 11000 from the saudi arabia, they were able to travel by road from cartoon to port sudan in the east at the cause of the. ready red sea and they were you know, received they are, they could not receive. i mean they don't get any obstacle along the. ready road,

so that is the only and the 1st person process that has happened since, but the remaining and the rest of the nationals. i still stuck within it took over there, mary guns, the russian and the chinese spanish. everybody's still stuck inside with the income downtown. and my daughter to their residence are also within the areas of the hot spot, right? within the bond they both badges were fighting. so up to this moment, a good question process seems to be impossible. the moment on friday, much of the muslim world was marking the end of the holy month of ramadan, but in sudan bottles overshadowed celebrations. as gunshot rang out across cartoon and heavy smoke billowed over the skyline. the un said the humanitarian situation is edging towards

a catastrophe. despite the dangers local still went to prey on it. to them, a fellow 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 to form out, eat with sweets and with some haste, 3 these troops is to stop this war later than i swear that there is no instruction losing and robberies. one, how will we hadn't felt this eat at all while there is sadness for the lost lives, the destruction and looting them up as an aiden will believe this. it is different from previous ones. as it comes while we're on the bombing, we're the pure blood has been shed, and the chair, the people are living in the past days. as the blessing of security has been taken away, it came to find the culprit for the unrest and sudan. media outlets had been pointing the finger at russia. the wagner private military company has been accused of supporting opposition forces against the countries military artes corolla has more

. 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 drum about how russia and particular the wagner private military group must been blamed for what's happening in the sudan rushes, the paramilitary proxy group. wagner has begun to try and influence one of the parties. russia is mercenary group. wagner has been arming sedans per military. rapid support forces via libya, a russian resupply campaign, backed by a key regional plan, aimed at turning the tide in sedans. war in favor of the ourself, i emphasized once again that the wagner, p, m. c, is in no way involved in the soonest. conflict, and the questions of all the media regarding any assistance or nothing more than an attempt of provocation. therefore,

we will immediately report such attempts to the un does you're trying to rock, the sudanese boat is a, the west has failed. not only was redone, but the region as a whole. there is still insurgency, even despite the better part of 2 decades in that region, thing that they will help to stabilize it. this of course follows lightly from the overthrow of the libyan government and one gadhafi. and that has said of the kid, amongst the pigeons, in this a hell as it were. but no one dares to mention that russia has no interest in a broken sudan. in fact, they prefer as a dandy functional, the leader of the vegan a private military group has offered to send a plane full of medical supplies and of himself as delineate if necessary to help resolve the existent conflict. and for the future prosperity of sudan, i am ready to act as an intermediary in negotiations between the parties of the

conflict, the u. n. and many other swan sudanese blood. and i won't peace for the sudanese people. i also want to ask for the opportunity to send planes with medicines and everything necessary to sudan at my own expense. do you think that would mention in the way it's not loaded up? they're not trying to pain the logical teacher at all. they're trying to spoon feed their audience's hobby, that nan will be the wife. but surely, audiences a more critical. because the founder of the regular military group does not deny being involved in african countries. because as we have seen, he is clearly in molly, clearly and the chad and many other countries. but therein lies the logic that he is not send, they find a directive to destabilize or destroy anything. the wagner group did not commit any

crimes. they tried to seek various crimes in various parts of the world to us. but unlike the american poor mil to restructures, wagner beam see destroys only the enemies of the world and does not commit crimes who arranged wars and revolutions in korea. vietnam of ghana, stan libya, syria, muslim, big central africa and so on. b, m. c, wagner later came to some of these countries and stopped the wars with an iron fist, but in no other attempt. of course, there was this one by the italian government now vaguely is responsible for the increase in migrate through the central part of the many, corinthian. and this is all part of mosque was plain to these. they believe europe and those that suffered ukraine. 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 clearer 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, as a vegan has been reduced, or now my grand cravings, they could do better. russia, whose interests of bagging a group defend is involved in the hell regional if that helps those countries, both the security as well as the hardware in terms of defending themselves against the numerous amount of rebel groups that continue to terrorize their collective countries. and the region all the while claiming large sweets of land avail. when minister olive 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 know how, as russians will continue to train the military of molly, in order to be able to fight this is on its own. of course, that might be just too much good news for the west. kind of will. it had a lot of, he drives back a political advisor for sudan rapids support forces. so the opposition group is open to peace talks, but with conditions today, no man, and there was a you don't mind considering mediation. all we ask from the mediators is that they do not seek to take advantage of the situation. that sedan sudan is important to the whole world were for any initiative that would stop the fighting and would carry out the surrender of albert han 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 to understand that america has never been debt to be friends with anyone or that make us of its own political and a national interest until a russia and the russian federation. good in there for my usaa is known to have assisted the menu button woman them according to me. and in this case, once again, it seems coming off at the set a people so that to kind a what they say and have independent employee sit in the country. so whether it be set off from one is going to be accepted by this, the needs of people. i think that they would have to look beyond that to offer. and they look at their long term interests of this menus. people a comes at

a time when the americans have been trying to so it is a russian issue in sudan. whereas we know that america has been in that particular region and many other pass on the continent try to kind of disable bullish tactics in, in the national, your political affairs and meddling into many of the african countries in affairs. a stray, bought down in the western russian city of belgrade has been safely removed from a residential area. russia's defense ministry said the explosive had been accidentally released from one of its jets flying over the city on thursday. the entire neighborhood near where the bomb felt was evacuated. although people are now returning to their homes. the device was said to have been stack 7 meters under the

ground. the incident comes 2 days since another bomb exploded in the city. this is video from a local security camera showing the explosion. it was so powerful that it launched a parked car into the roof. i believe a supermarket. 3 people were injured. a massive crater was left in the road and the shock wave blew out windows and damage nearby buildings. while washington continues to bolster ukraine with military and financial packages, the u. s. inspector general, for the reconstruction of afghanistan, has warned that the money sent a key as is at risk of being plundered if american officials don't go there and see what's happening. just look, the amount of money we're spending in ukraine is about a $113000000000.00 of that right? this summer we will surpass all the money. we spend full reconstruction, which was the train advise and assist mission in afghanistan for 20 years. this

summer we will surpass all the money we spend 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. washington has provided ukraine with some $30000000000.00 of what the u. s. calls financial assistance along with tens of billions and security aid. and of course, huge numbers of weapons and ammunition. overall. since february of last year, the u. s. has spent a $113000000000.00 on ukraine, creeping towards the total amount spent on afghanistan over a full 2 decades. so let's show you all those zeros in comparison. now says 200-1150 1000000000 of american taxpayer dollars have gone to afghanistan. just under half of that figure went on military hardware and almost 40000000000 was 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 plus years, the lack of monitoring remains a problem. the 2nd problem is right now we're paying the salary zable, ukrainian civil servants who. ready 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. gus 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 been paying the salaries of real afghans. this all comes as a group of us lawmakers penned a joint letter this week to president biden, criticizing his administration's policy of continually propping up the crane and promising to oppose future supplies. if the goals aren't clear, a proxy war with russia and ukraine is not in the strategic interest of the united states. our national and economic security demand and alternative unrestrained

usaid for ukraine must come to an end. and we will adamantly opposed all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring this war to a rapid conclusion. democratic candidate for governor kentucky, jeffrey young, believes that when it comes to corruption, both kiev and washington have their plates full. i'd say that you crane is probably the most corrupt country in the world right now. and the united states is not far behind. they're totally corrupt tier. most are political parties, routinely rig their own primary that's corruption, ignores the will of the people. and our judicial branch routinely dismisses civil actions that were meritorious. that's one of the worst things when judge can do. we have corruption

at every level of our government here in the united states and in kentucky. and it's mostly concentrated at the top, a former governor of kentucky, shan fish raj from the head. and at this point, the united states, mainly washington, but also in every state, is a rotting fish on moscow is set to trade with beijing exclusively in each other's national currencies. russia's deputy prime ministers, the move has been expedited by the current circumstances. and then so which as soon as meaningless the trend is changing, the dollar and the euro are being used less and less given the problems we face when we're trying to pay with them. we're now switching exclusively to payment in

the national currencies. the you want and ruble are in demand. now this trend will continue. our colleagues from china are already paying for gas and oil in u on and rubles urine. meanwhile, poland and trio baltic states have called on the e u to expand sanctions on russia's gas from bank, and remove it from the international swift payment system. the lender remains one of the last routes for european nations to pay for ongoing russian energy supplies . given the bank's role in the russian establishment scheme to embezzle state money and the kremlin use of the bank to advance political interests, the de swift thing of gas from bank is of priority and symbolic importance. the proposal also suggested banning the imports of russia and aluminum and diamonds, as well as imposing limits on the drum pipeline which supplies europe with oil. he is still a buyer of large amounts of russian gas and cutting this with financial line. we'll

leave europe with few options to use either the russian or chinese domestic payment system to keep the much needed fuel source flowing. indeed, as many western countries and imports of russian oil, they've actually imported 42000000000 euros worth of crude products through 3rd countries. this chart shows the trip that the oil takes to get to its final destination. the u was the, our largest recipient in the scheme with the block responsible for 17000000000 euros worth of purchases. australia claim that a claimed 8000000000 followed by the u. s. and the u. k, which snapped up the rest. now the main goal, other western sanctions, was cut russia, offered revenues. however, chinese importance of russia. crew for example, are set to break record number says more refiners seek the discount as apply from mosque out. the latest chinese customs data shows a record $2000000.00 barrels per day, arriving in the country from russia by pipelines and shit. and the april data is on

track as their pass. those numbers, political and international relations specialist park no one told r t, that a trend is emerging where more outwardly confident developing nations. want to trade differently directly with countries such as russia and china. diminishing the effect of western sanctions. the alternative payment system in china and russia as well in the other country will continue to benefit from these sanctions in the long run. because what we are seeing is the western countries and the are the countries, especially the country in the global south. they still need to trade. and despite that, china and russia were apparently selectively screw that from this trading process. are the countries countries in the global south,

they're also being tapped into and getting activity even more actively involved in this or trading process. we are seeing a trend in the global scale of what's going on on this whole process of the coupling. because the global solve, unlike what happened in the last cold war, to quibble self position in terms of the pet chasing power. and that in general, in the greater power capability has increased, never monthly. and now because they be, they choose not to side that with either side. so they are running on their own. we're looking after their own interest. let's turn out of molly's capital. where am i 20 by the attack helicopter has reportedly crashed and for more on this was cross live to local journalist george a t. no, george, we appreciate your time today. now can you tell us what do we know so far about this crash? the archives and milan army,

eli cup saw crush the 2 of his afternoon at around 1 pm in the number with dr. michael, according to a statement from the maryan army. the aircraft was on the truck in the chapter of the processor, turning from on the promotional mission of the moments. the number of victims is not yet now. and there is on of a for the car wash are still as you know, the military and your show us the arrangements are under way to access the situation and also to provide else to victims and minimize additional damage. vis, crush comes after an early morning outside on the mile, an army in severity, a city in the sunshine of money will certainly continue to keep an eye on that one local journalist,

georgia chino. thank you so much for that day. a massive corruption scandal has rocked uganda with dozens of ministries charged with stealing taxpayers money. this is unprecedented in the history of the national resistant movements administration. all this admin assistant, the peas, are connected to the diversion of firing sheets. man's folk are a mojo province and does directed by the president all must be taken to court unknown said the charges a phone culpable. this video shows roofing supplies intended for people in one of the country's poorest and most unstable regions. the officials are accused of embezzling funds, which had been earmarked to provide housing there. it's led to a massive public outcry and demands for the prime minister and vice president to be prosecuted. they don't look at that in principle. they're not on that. so crippled is seldom since they're not stealing government. doug's you fib stealing? oh, what tucked because we're pretty thoughts on we start to look. that is the only way

we're gonna benefit. i believe when they're asking for that money. they asked for that people of color, i'm again it for themselves. a sedan we refer, new court, select others, learn to do it because order before need is substituted would not study. matt, t i. e b, the journalist beyond the twitter falls, revelations, has allegedly been threatened with jail by a u. s. congress woman, for supposedly lying under oath, the information comes from a document published by the 0 hedge media outlet. it has come to my attention that information foundational to your testimony. that day has since been revealed to be false and misleading under the federal perjury statute. providing false information is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment. after e, one must work over twitter last year t i. e. b was given access to documents proving former company executives had ties

to washington officials. and that platform moderator showed a bias against opponents of the biden administration. the accusation that he lied during his testimony to congress arose because he later made an error in a tweet which he admitted to. that seems to be at odds with a portion of his statement at last month's hearing, the journalism community. back coming to tie these defense disturbed that a member of congress who attempt to threaten a journalist with imprisonment for summarizing his report in june, the congressional hearing stacy plaskett trying to disprove the notion that the federal government has been weaponized against dissenters by threatening mat tabby . with 5 years jail time, reckless behavior by stacy plaskett disagree was to be all you want, but there is no better way to confirm the point of his reporting than to threaten cameras. imprisonment for telling congress involved he's reporting legal and media

analysts. lionel says that matt to be received the threat because he exposed to washington, had been doing and manipulating twitter approach the mainstream media itself should have been undertaking up until now. we've always said in this country that twitter is a private organization, it's a private organization. if you don't like twitter, go someplace else, it's your private organization. whatever they do is up to them is up to the independent. you can't make them do something. they have nothing to do with the government. they're independent. ok. now we're finding out that know, according to my to be and others, not only are they working with the government, they might be a proxy of the government. they may be a wholly owned subsidiary of the government, and that opens up a 1st amendment claim. let me say that again, when you have a seemingly private enterprise working as an agent of the government. and 1st amendment rights are being cut off,

being suspended or being crushed because of that connection. now you open up a new realm of address. a 1st amendment violation because private companies cannot violate the 1st amendment that only can be violated by the government. now we've got this connection. this is huge. this is huge when, when you give up the wrong information, you are told specifically that you are breaking the law sb and national what have you. if you give up the good information to people like then you really whistleblower and your look. if you're, if you are a julian assange, no good. if you're daniel ellsberg independent gon papers during hero, she's never ceases to amaze me and god bless bad, tidy and others who have come forward to, to basically let us know what the press should be,

letting us know what the media they are the media. i mean, i, i don't even know where to start with is the, the new breast of this is inexplicable. the indian government has submitted a resolution stating that legalizing same sex marriage undermines religious and social values. it says the country supreme court begins hearings on the matter of valid marriage. she's only between biological, male and biological woman. any equality offered to same sex couples goes against really just valleys and seriously affects the interests of every citizen. in response, gay couples and activists filed dozens of petitions as part of a lawsuit fighting for their right to get married. the move comes 5 years after the indian high court overturned a long standing law that had criminalized homosexuality. today's hearing commented time when numerous identity focus groups are lobbying to become more,

represent it all holding marches and major cities. however, many indians remain against what they say is a western import, the forgets the country, historical value. many supp say you go let it go, madison in my opinion, it is wrong because there is no such thing in our culture. marriage can only be between a man and a woman. hi, my generation can't support a law legalizing gay marriage. i absolutely don't see how such a law could get support in the supreme court. there needs to be a law against that. that's what i want when it message up in a civilian bigger jerky article given these and the modern generations or future ones think that if we follow western culture, we will become more modernism. for my point of view, this is not true how things used to be what our culture is,
