's debated the merits of flights resuming directly to and from russia, words appeared not to be enough to settle the dispute. the

one of the lawmakers was returning to his c tough through making a speech in the monastery when the arrival politician tossed a verbal job in the trade of insults. quickly escalated on only the colleagues separated the 2 front line of protest erupt in tbilisi report. this week after the 1st passenger plane direct from last filled loaded in georgia for the 1st time since 29, there was an opposition active as of expressed. i agree to the improvement in relations with russian during the airport demonstrations. police locked access to the terminal in an attempt to settle the situation. well, the decision to resume director traffic with russia has been criticized by the georgian president, the european union of the united states with washington threatening to impose sanctions on georgia. the nation was prime minister, however,

has said re establishing fights was the right decision, reaffirming georgia's intention to continue trade and economic relations with most of them. some tourists have also share their feelings on the return of the direct trips. before that i was throwing the another airline armenian. so it would be a flight. it's not good isn't spending several hours such close distance. so traveling here would be much fast. it's very good. it's essentially, it's a very good decision for people at the blog might be able to apply as a i flew head to georgia with a larry but, and then back to moscow in a direct flight. i'm very glad that does now direct flight from to release. the 2 must go. this is a great opportunity. you can use the motion i have to put in. we're very happy now the 3rd direct flights. we bought our tickets in the 1st 10 minutes. of course it is more convenient, so soon as we drove here through logic, us cos, then took

a car, and now it is become much easier and faster. what you had, what already are we spoke to a political scientist from the center for globalization problems. think time he sais, that the west stepping into georgia refers, is nothing new. a view of the pressure ranks 1st in terms of volume is money transfers in georgia when immigrants from georgia left due to the lack of welcome to change these in the republic itself. this money makes up a significant part of george's turnover. these people would the price of the opportunity to see that families are full. yes, it was a strict visit regime and getting a visa was a major problem. so people did not see each other for years. secondly, there was no direct flights. people had to fly through the country, it was expensive and inconvenient and their phone. a vast majority of the population perceived the resumption of ad traveling as a blessing to americans and europeans. treasures costly demonte that georgia

fulfill the requirements in return they gave empty promises about joining nato and the european union an s b l. a whistle blower, testifying at a us congressional hearing house claim. the under cover officers on the bureaus assets were present of the capital building during the on rest in january 21 at a charge that's i've never really been confirmed by the fbi i out a little more than a sellers. and people have been charged with federal crimes for the religion rules and the storming of congress stuff. day supporters old joe biden, to day as a insurrection, aim to block the transfer of power of the former president dollar from selection feats mister kemp was subsequently engaged. but not convicted for allegedly inciting, the volume is not the f. b, i is refusing to release large parts of surveillance footage from that day. seeing it would expose the identities of agents and informants remedies conversations

firsthand. why can you show us, why can't you just send us back, give us access to the 11000 hours of video. this is a, this is bill because there may be, may be use these undercover officers. ready or c h s is confidential or cleaning. ready confidential human sources on those videos whose identity we need to protect while we have a former f b i employees coming forward and testifying about what they see as polluters, ization of these investigations. the 2 man tested by the they had their security clearances revoked by the the i in response to their political view is about the january 6th is that the i whistle blower of oil has previously testified about how he and his family were made temporarily homeless. when he received an indefinite suspension from the f

b i. how do you think that solves being able to shine light on corruption, weatherization, any kind of mist dr. misconduct that exist with the american? it doesn't solve it, but the guy will crush you. this government will crush you and your family. if you try to expose the truth about things that they are doing that are wrong, and we are all examples of that. details also were shed uh, in the testimony we heard about the extent to which api i surveillance escalated in the aftermath of the january 6th of that. so it was heard some outrage about the privacy of americans and the extent to which the f b, i was acquiring information about banking transactions. here's some of what we heard on capital hill. bank of america turned over the credit card transactions, whether for an aircraft or a lodging, or the purchase of a cup of coffee for everyone who decided to come to washington be in washington

area, the northern virginia area. that's one of the things that you asked questions about . there are victims all over the place. all of the people who suffered when the f b. i and the department of homeland security got involved in censorship with social media platforms. are millions, millions of tweets and narratives being taken down, that is victimization at scale. so we now have further confirmation. we for that among those who perpetrated the events on january 6th, there were under cover f, b, i, informant, possibly others involved with different security services and different intelligence agencies. this raises many questions and well one version of the january 6, the dance was certainly all over the media and it's direct after map. more details are coming to the surface about how exactly the days of their plans as they did

with more questions being raised and then answers being provided and correct how some of the german i'm busted or after 2 journalist from the turkish news article that were arrested in frankfort, on wednesday, the reporters from that the lisa were released later that day, but the country's foreign minister was i'd raged the detention the detention of funk for the representative of savannah newspaper. but the chime and police without justification, is inactive for us and, and in simulation against attack express. we strongly condemn the heinous act as well. german police rated the journalist homes on wednesday morning, where a number of electronic devices were reportedly ceased. a lawyer for the newspapers said the men were detained after a complaint was lodge by a political organization. that's a group thing that i'm for has prompted, as a term with the raid came just 3 days after the 1st round of

a turkish presidential elections last weekend with no candidate we ching the crucial 50 percent threshold needed to secure victory run off between incumbent president ridge of ty, bird of on main office issue, either a mouth collection that will take place on the way to we earlier we spoke with the news coordinator of the daily center. i'm doing a him some check who maintains if it had been western and journalist obtained in such a way that would have been a very different reaction. a jimmy silly certainly jumped by turn now this operation against journalists in the name of freedom and democracy. one of the most important countries when the largest economy in europe has once again shown that it's a democracy in name only. as a journalist, i'm scared to go to germany. i'm also scared that i may be arrested there. unfortunately, the german state, which is very concerned about the political relations that have recently developed

between turkey and russia, is currently increasing pressure on the turks. unfortunately, the western press is under siege because they cannot write anything that contradicts the policy determined by the european union and the united states of german reporters were arrested in turkey, a journalist from all over europe would protest against that european union, and especially germany and the united states will argue that there are no human rights in turkey. yeah, there is no democracy there. the judge of young is a dictator and he said he's an old crowd. but when germany does the same thing, as you see, nothing happens. no one makes a sound, it was the group of 7 summit kicked off on friday in japan and right out of the gate, new initiatives to try and hurt moscow where discussed among them the u. k. and on some russian diamonds on. so brilliance any more of them would be sanctioning imports of nature's hardest material or to contribute original morrison offered us

her take on the british prime minister re she soon have arrived at the g 7 summit in here, oshima japan and properly tweeted what looked like an invitation to a destination wedding, there between himself and you for any and present by mere zalinski that one of his kids hooked up with an app on their smartphone or something. but there will be no diamonds involved in this particular love affair. so next specifically announced alongside the our work where banning all in birds of russian diamonds, copper, medium, and nickel sanctions are having a clear impact and degrading prudence. war effort. the jew 7 stands united with ukraine. degrading is a more app description for what's happening to your opinions quality of life and purchasing power as sanctions are. having such a quote, clear impact on russia that the west is still having to pump up you frame with weapons and cash at the expense of their own citizens. so it looks like soon as

rummaged around is couch cushions and found something russian that was still left to sanction russian diamonds, which represent a drop in the proverbial pocket of british diamond imports. despite russia being one of the largest dining producers in the entire world. now the u. k, mainly imports these gems from belgium, israel, the us hong kong in india. although after the onset of the ukraine conflict, the u. k. did really ramp up its russian diamond buying from around a $188000.00 in 2021 to $4100000.00 worth in 2022. that's a for you to western press reports. so that means that the same time, that's due, next tory government colleagues were all obsessing over the idea of depriving russian president vladimir putin personally of lunch money and fantasizing that it would make him a band and strategic national security object is involving ukraine at the same time the u. k was buying up russian diamonds like they were

b pies on sale. it sainsbury's and of the diamonds coming into the u. k. through these top supplying nations. it's pretty much impossible to know which of those are actually sourced from russia. belgium, for example, said the imported $1200000000.00 euros worth of russian diamonds in the 1st 8 months of 2022, which is about on par with the $1800000000.00 euros in port in 2021. when about a quarter of donald's being sold out as the world's biggest diamond trading hub in and for belgium came from russia. so this all is starting to look like the same sort of game that the europeans have been playing with their russian energy sections. they make a big show of purchasing like their bands, but then they just end up buying russian energy anyway after it integrates to 3rd countries like india for example. and now the european union is even angry about

that. like, what did they expect for india to break up the microscope and power? so the russian molecules from the indian heart use indian officials are basically say, hey, look guys, you're buying indian fuel. and who are you take issue with russian fuel that may have come over at some point. and now self identifies has indeed. so now the same western obsession of separating out the citizenship of energy in the attempt to stick it to russia. now risk playing out with diamonds as well, and western alice, or se, that could end up backfiring on the the debate has been going on for some time because there was a clear risk that russian could simply divert, as i suppose, to not participate in countries. these factions were implemented in a way that mesa conversion. difficult though. then we can see less russian supply coming onto the market. and high prices. therapy in union has been resisting

a bad on russian diamonds so far. but when they're all now over there at the g 7 summit with zalinski expected to attend, it's not a given that common sense will actually prevail. it risk being like a bunch of boys trying to impress that one girl at a frat party by doing back flips off the roof. and obviously, nothing good can come of that. the nato is reportedly prepping for future conflicts, that it saves may happen at any time. thousands of pages of plans are set to be presented unapproved at an upcoming summit in that you in the senior military officer from the block explains what prompted the fundamental difference between crisis management and collective defense is this. it is not we bought our adversary who determines the timeline. we have to prepare for the fact the conflict can

present itself at any time. the nato is guiding its members sites on how to upgrade their forces. logistics in light of lessons apparently learned from the frame conflict. while the secretary general of the line says, call for big moods and mid rising tensions. lots eastern flight emerge. this law professor at the university of south africa commentator andrea thomas housing saves nature, will find it hard to package rhetoric with military spend well night to and union and the with generally all i've driven them in by the vision of the world. and by this sense that the vision is better and that isn't the best interest. so the rest of the world to implement it. this of course, has gone beyond any reasonable boundaries this accept that. so i do not believe that there is such a serious coming from nature. i am german,

i know my country another window, spare a kind of the they wouldn't the app i munition to loss them for 2 days. most result of teachers within the nature of the country. so whenever they're planning, it will take them 4 to 5 years to actually get to any degree of combat readiness. and i to strategy is going wrong. nobody expected ukraine to become the spot as well. margaret, a crazy as, as all it was germany was and the prospect so piece on the very difficult as the these really parliament has advanced the bill that would make it a crime with a year behind bars for flying the palestinian flag during protest. in addition, the legislation would give as really authorities the right to criminalize policy

and in protest. the bill was approved in its 1st reading. now the lobby turned over for further legislative processes before it becomes more last year that connects it floated another controversal law. that bond raising the palestinian flag gets state funded institutions from us responded and condemn the bill. releasing a statement that said the initiative was an act of religious more on the policy and in people will tensions are extremely high in the region of palestinians class with his release during the controversial flag march day in jerusalem. now that follow the trade of strikes between the inside has rockets were fired up scale. so in response to ideas or strikes on the territory that killed 5 estimates militants. scores out civilians losing their lives in the collateral damage, including a russian citizen who worked as adult during counseling clinic level this i'm your

and saves the far right party behind the legislation as part ideas like this in the past thing never become a reality. one cannot comment on visa issue with the very broad green or even a smile because it's just a clownish gesture on the part of the most extreme right. member of the coalition who always uh, come up, but uh we use uh some outland beach ideas. it has nothing to do. we use the real lives in israel now and uh, you know, a 2 people stand the 25th at bob waving the flag. and the 3rd president comes over . but stand, zip up, use the policeman, mary, going to arrest them. obviously piece is not enforceable just to try patient just another street in the face of speech loving people. um either

a police geniune always really. but nevertheless, what um is the earliest i can do is booked up the 2 flex together. if they had the sort of an emblem where the police geniune and these really flags of flying, who's going to take down this double flag, which includes these rally? well, so there are many ways to bypass base mockery of legislation. okay, to auction next. then the stories not being talked about in the mainstream media, it's going underground time. stay close and i'll catch you again. that's all the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. the only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very good. i think it was time time to sit down and talk the

the i'm action or time seeing welcome back to going underground rule guy single around the world from do buying the you a joe biden. wish you snack and off schultz or manuel leaders in us and to make bottom sides hiroshima japan this weekend. kicking off the 49th annual summit to the g 7. an exclusive club made up of only major members and its allies and proxies . while the nations in the proxy will, with russia to over how they will continue funding that military aggression visor, lensky countless, more and dying of the war, and ukraine continues to escalate with british missiles being sent to kill. well, joining me now from palermo in physically at least professor charles group, john senior fellow and director of european studies at the council on foreign

relations. and the senior director for your benefit is on the national security council during the clinton and obama administration. thank you so much, a professor coming back on the show. i just better start by this. it rush humans summit of all the place that's just as a russia which was from the conventional loan forces in your tree deeds, already placing tactical nuclear weapons and bella roost ahead of a st. petersburg for him about to where the rest of the world is coming to the g. 7, median who rush, i'm a to talk about chinese collision and the best way to attack russia. well, i would say that this is a, a meeting with a lot of residents to put it mildly, you know, this is the, the, the side of the, the, you, the atomic weapon that out from brand world war 2 to an end. what we now know, sorry, sorry to interrupt, but i think there's been so much history about the fact that japan actually has already surrendered. i don't wanna go too back into history, but for,

and i guess id and erosion were blowing up to show, improve the new superpower, the 20th century, the united states. well, it's probably not worth our time to litigate how world war 2 came to an end. but the fact that the g 7 is gathering there at the same time that we're in the middle of a hot war in europe, the biggest land war since world war 2. in which one side, the russians have threatened to use tactical nuclear weapons. you know, this is, this is a dangerous moment, arguably the most dangerous moment since the cuban missile crisis, one can say even more dangerous, because the cuban missile crisis occurred during the cold war and there was peace. right now. there are bombs and missiles flying in ukraine, so hopefully the, the g 7 summit will, uh, get, get more assistance, maintain the unity among the major democracies. uh, at least this, at this stage,

it doesn't look like the warranty plan is gonna end any time soon. will it be so dangerous? why are you advocating? what research? so that is done this week said that f. 16 training. i don't know whether you advocate f. 16 will planes to zalinski. you're advocating more, tailoring, more ammunition, visit landscaping. so dangerous. why do you want that? because i think that the ukrainians are determined to launch an offensive. they have a moral and legal right to take it back as much of their territory as they can. and i think we should give them the best chance possible to advance into eastern ukraine in the coming months that having been said, i do think that we should marry the provision of more weapons to ukraine and provision to think about mac assistance to ukraine, to a plan b because i'm skeptical the ukraine is going to win on the battlefield and by.
