the what do you think about the search has already imposed? invite shots. any via on, even on, on china, on the other attempt to get the, the, i'm not matching with their own. it gemini, as my central, i'm serious said before. nothing. i, i earlier someone, you know, shooting his own speech. this is unfortunate that distributed to the and the racism of the worst. because the point putting folder on adult 2 brothers are not for when we talk about w stand, that is when we talk about hedge in many, when we talk about impression, then you talk about those false values that the west has to be the page and throughout the world verbally, but on the ground, it's complete the other way around. what we have seen the politicization of the a i c, j, the international court of justice. one day they want to bring the president fulton to try out. today they want to bring the president as after syria has been admitted

to the ad. i believe i'm president. that was the start of the so the 2nd summit in jet the few days back now, they want to bring him to justice. this is mcclung differentially, the whose own country has been cut and they've got that c o $25.00 divided libya bought it takes 5, taking in the occupation of that i and the handling of it's the, the so dumb horse and whether you like them or not, these are 2 independent countries, which what and they did by western people, including across the now the latest u. s. military aid package to t of shows that washington is completely indifferent to the ukrainian governments crimes bouts, according to russia's and buster, to the american. on the new us security package totaling $300000000.00 effectively feels the rotten regime and keeps instead of cooling. the zalinski

raising to account washington is demonstrative. we showing indifference to the crimes of thunder rights, public statements by the white house that they allegedly do not support the attacks of the on forces of ukraine in the very heart of another lands and not was a penny. yeah, just to reiterate, the new u. s. military, a package to ukraine, a 9 on wednesday and months to that figure. $300000000.00. i'll includes all of this patriot onto your missed solves as well as scores of artillery shells. high mars rockets, the tank weapon systems. and of course, millions of small arms, munitions, as well. overall, more than $30000000000.00 has been spent by washington on legal aid to t of unkempt as evidence reportedly emerge online recently of nature weaponry appearing on the block market. in this on verify video, one such weapon was spotted in the hands of a tory. if next again, drug gun, a militant wearing, the insignia of the gulf cartel appears to be holding an a. t 4 at

swedish made empty tank launcher. here it is in detail. indeed, thousands of such weapons helping supply to the printing government since last year . and that's washington tries to finalize a deal on its national debt ceiling. the white house dispel concerns are on the funding of kip saying there will be enough money to keep the cleaning military afloat, whatever happens. and as for the dead ceiling, as the deal of it won't, don't remember what happens in the halls of congress. there won't be in effect on our ability to support ukraine. john kirby said the answer is point the united states is not a party to the conflict. ready is only providing weapons providing training, but it is not interested in directing your brain and where to target or who to attack. now, at this point, he did also mentioned that the united states as counseling ukraine,

but he didn't describe exactly what that entails. the u. s. a does not want to know who conducted strikes against the crown one, and it turns a blind eye to us provided weaponry that is now being used on russian territory president. so when skiing is military commanders decide what they're going to do from a military perspective and they decide what they're going to do with the equipment that isn't provided to them. and that the, you know, all that said, we have been very clear with the craniums privately. we certainly been clear publicly that we do not support attacks inside russia. and we do not enable and we do not encourage attacks inside rush. so as we heard from john kirby, he expressed the fact that the united states is going to continue to arm ukraine. provide them with the training exercises council, but insisted that the united states is not overseeing and is not responsible for

the actions of the ukrainian military that they then carry out with this training after these exercise. ready with this counsel from the united states. uh, quite that, quite an interesting case, john. courteous trying to make here, saying that the united states is going to remain heavily involved in facilitating the conflicts in your grand, but should not take responsibility for being directly involved on what we us insist it has no direct involvement into ukraine conflict. the prime minister of georgia has blamed nato expansion. it some for the situation saying it triggered an escalation in this don't off. i think everybody, everybody know the reason. i'm not sure i do. what do you think it is? i think you know it well. and the, the audience knows it. one of the main reasons would need to write nato enlargement, right, and many other reasons you think that nato enlargement provokes the war. well, i don't want to speculate okay,

and i don't want to quote the statements. so the russian government, about one of the reasons was ukraine's will and determination to become member of nato. and so therefore, we see the consequence, the spies a long history of tensions with russia over territorial disputes. the 2 countries recently resumed direct flights of pro long pause um saves a visa free travel agreement for vote. and i need a response from the west with the new us helping already being for the fill up to please see for not joining sanctions against most skill. ukraine. meanwhile, as the last art stuff, the comments of the george and pn directly gary bush, police are disappointing. free green. now to hear such messages, we are very sorry for georgia, which is now in a situation where the top government officials can make such statements. yeah,

among the reaction we go to the story wasn't from a former george an m p, who saved nature likes in accordance with its own agenda, expanding its territory at the expense of global harmony, a measurable upside of the squarely was absolutely right, because we all know that the were in ukraine behind it was the desire of native to expand the territory at the expense of ukraine. to be honest, the same thing happened to in 2008 in georgia. we're all know that need to expansion is unacceptable to russia. that's is, if the neighbors do not understand the depth of their neighbors security system, then why should not expect all the results from the neighbor? because neighbors should be treated with great to understand in georgia had shared security with russia. the same thing happened with ukraine made his approach to russia's board, as everyone knows all over the world that this was absolutely unacceptable for

russia to move forward further and further. everyone understood how this would and interest and the world with russia was naturally modeled by the west. therefore, the prime minister spoke briefly. but to the point, well, opposition to nato expansion is also being seen in the left in america region, explicit interviews to our, to the president of cuba. as highlighted have bottom is negative attitude towards the military blocks, enlargements and empty russian sanctions from the west. you can catch the full interview throughout the day here on or as we condemn and refuse to accept nature's expansion towards russia's board, as we strongly can demo measures and sanctions. they've been introduced to apply pressure on the russian federation. we're very grateful. hold a humanitarian of food, a and above all for the pandemic relate. today we've received from russia a powerful neighbor is keeping us on the economic pressure with the embargo. continuously increasing this pressure and trying to seduce us at the same time. but

all that is just lies an empty promises. it is at times like this that we get friends from other countries supporting us with real actions and under conditions that are not harmful to our independence. beyond any downtime, strong political ties, help us build stronger economic and financial relations and boost trade. okay, moving on to more news this thursday of british journalist working for investigative news site, the grey zone was recently detained in question by british culture to her police. upon arrival, back in the you page and hit thornburg cool stuff that the lease in the report on may 17th. after arriving from the serbian capital bell grades where he lives. hartford was question for more than 5 hours that bite. his political views covering everything from the current, british political leadership, to the printer conflict. his electronic devices on find cards were seized from the

officers, specifically dom times with brushes, security services over there, publishing of hacked minutes, you read off to exhaustive investing. well, the reason was given for the attention of the end of it. these are some examples of his work behind me here, including reports and covering finished plans to bomb the crime, me and bridge, and even a plot to dismantle the grading so itself. well, the investigative groups editor in chief max bloom and tell, believes london is targeting journalist because they're exposing violations of international and domestic law. so this was, in my view, political repression by the british state, which has no very speech protections against a journalist who has been exposing, in, meticulous and completely factual fashion how british intelligence has been violating international and domestic law in order to carry out some very dark machinations

what kid hasn't done is broken any laws are violated any journalistic ethics. what he's done is standard practice, even at legacy wester. newspapers like the washington post in the new york times. this was a baseless interrogation. it was a fishing expedition by british intelligence. they're going after journalists, who are dissenters, dissidents, and who are exposing their own violations of international and domestic law. we've received the outpouring of solidarity and support, and we're hoping that groups like the reporters without borders, will weigh in here. i know kits been in contact with them that other press freedom . ngos will actually speak up. this really is a question of whether you agree with me or kit clarin berg. it's about whether journalist can continue to follow standard journalistic practice and using leads material to provide news that's in the public interest. o'geary is foreign

minister has said self determination is a key condition for the african continent to in true modern day independents. nicholas africa cannot completely to the final page of its colonial history without enabling this. we're all the people to exercise their in the label right to self determination. as the western sa hara is a disputed territory in north west africa, it borders morocco to the north. algeria to the northeast mauritania to beach, it was largely occupied by morocco leaving an estimated 20 percent of the so named free zone that's east of the moroccan border. occupied in 1976, a rebel troop waged, a guerrilla war against american forces supported by algeria. securing western sahara an independent state called a so rory or a democratic republic the over the years add on recognition from 84 states low,

24 later, 7 relations 11, a frozen ties. well, sir, are a political activist on comment theater telling ali sell in the leaves. the western so hard a issue hasn't been solved as it's not in the interest of rocco's allies. the uh the

the the us to include some manuscript library in a room is home to over 70000 copies of rarer really and i'm for in books going back over a 1000 years including one of the oldest and most complete some money or 2 correspondent

use of july, the mothers to get an exclusive look inside the spelling building in the shop. a no camera is allowed here and this intensively protected treasury a frere ancient manuscripts. so we're lucky to be granted an exclusive access inside the aust on votes manuscript library. anyone's northeastern city of mashhad store. so you need a collection of more than 170000 manuscripts and lithographic documents, some of which have survived for over 13 centuries curated by as time ago. it's in measured, the treasury has valuable manuscripts and different fields from math and astronomy, to really just text working in different languages. most of the documents have been donated to the library from different parts of the world. i do thing, i said, the engine, the get to the oldest manuscript that skipped here is a copy of the holy koran, which dates back to the 1st century. it is the oldest existing chronicle in the world. we also have scientific mind scripts,

as well as books from other religions. we also have a precious 10 century old flora and the number of bibles due to their age and delicacy. these manuscripts require intensive care. so curators constantly control the temperature, humidity, and light. since any change in these variables could damage this precious heritage and mental, we could then do it that the references here are protected under specialist on the conditions. these books are old, so we need to carefully protect them. the temperature and community are constantly under inspection. there's also an advanced firestick washing system, which we operate in case of any fire incident. please, ancient folks are a great assets for many historians, researchers, as they still have much to discover. that's why the us on holes has been creating electronic copies of the manuscripts in case of a potential damage to the wheel copies. that's the kid who is the side that has this place was launched in 1972 with the goal of creating back up digital copies

for the existing manuscript stored here. we have almost covered all of us them codes manuscripts in addition to the affiliated libraries. and this is to allow researches who cannot come here to have access to our collection and use them in this studies. aside from their process concepts, each one of these works is a history, that's how rates the painstaking universe of the past colors in generating science . while they're mainly treated as artifacts today, they will never lose their genuine role as the bedrock of our present understanding of the world. usability are too much had. i know it's in the strain financial time safe can be hard, navigating the best path forward. but next, christy is here to help make things just a little bit in cost of everything is right ahead because the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy from

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 critical of time. time to sit down and talk the, the claims of the king of the belgians liberal the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 18. 85 in the very heart of the african continent. states. under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared since the beginning, the congo free state was total, may have for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population,

including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated to keep the congo these people under control. the king set up the so called forest bleak which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants, fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals . the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet used. and as proof so resented a job the hand of an african. it was not uncommon when trying to justify the use of the munition. the collin is to have your date of the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide. you know, late 20 years, the policy of the belgians lead to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside

the holocaust, the genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the greenest pages in the history of mankind. what do you think is the most important beverage in the world? aside from water, while many automatically think coffee or alcohol, that would be incorrect. t is actually the most popular, most consumed and most important beverage in the world. so important that full are wars. that's right, plural, had been started over t. he had the 1st opium war breaking out between china and britain fighting over britain's demand for teeth. and then you have the boston tea party, which led to the american revolution fighting over britain and his taxation on teeth. i'm 50, i'm, you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be delving into why this little tea leaves are so important and how much they truly matter in the

world. the in 5 countries account for 82 percent of global to exports. so when there are problems with the big 5 and higher industry is in term, well, china, india, kenya, screen, blanca and vietnam are known as the big 5. and they are all struggling with the production since the corona virus pandemic, up into the world. in india, fewer t pickers combined with dry weather, has cut neils in the south and north india as well as to be longer the keyboard of india calculated a loss of 16000000 kilos. due to weather and a pipeline deficit of a 130000000 kilograms, with harvest down 14 percent compared to last year. this is a big problem as india, residents strength over 856 kilograms of

t a year. the ongoing african drought has also depressed deals in kenya, uganda and rolanda, to production in kenya, which is the world's largest exporter of black tea, is also down 14 percent and none was more effective than screen blanca whose t exports have dropped to a 25 year low when it was hit by fertilizer shortage, due to an ill advised agro chemical band screw, longer export a 250000000 kilograms of t in 2022, which is down 18 percent. the supply demand deficits were 1st reported in 2020. as coven 19 lowered production levels and disrupted out of home consumption, there was also a labor shortage that extended to the trucking industry where a short as length and the amount of time it takes to transport the t to the t auctions and then to the ports to production is highly sensitive to changes in growing conditions,

and t can only be produced in narrowly defined agro ecological conditions. hence, a very limited number of countries can produce it. however, changes in temperature and rainfall patterns with more floods and droughts are already effecting yield quality and prices. and while america is not a huge tea drinking nation, the effects of the t shortage was felt here too. as pepsi issued a statement announcing the temporary suspension of some of the pure v, i s p offerings in the u. k. t during a has become synonymous with the british identity for many. but this may not be here to stay forever with the latest data. british citizens are now drinking a 3rd as much tea compared to the 1970s where a typical person 568 grams of tea a week. the biggest reason brits are drinking less is that they now drink more coffee based on grams purchase each week. fritz, now buy more coffee then tea ever since it overtook tea in 2015. so

now let's bring in jenny, the shipping streams p company founder. so jenny has t consumption been growing or declining among the younger generations worldwide? and what is the fastest growing beverage today? and so t has been growing worldwide with the younger generations that actually has been growing. a british research from global data said that the u. s. t market was at $2800000000.00 us dollars and this year is supposed to be in a robust $3400000000.00. and this has actually been encouraged and growing up because of the younger generation looking for lower caffeine or caffeine. alternatives, especially when you look at ice tea, ready to drink, tea's functional teams and such. but the number one consume beverage in the world

is water. and the 2nd most consumed beverage in the world is t and the bottled water industry is growing significantly. and that's the leader of beverages. and now who is the biggest competitor to to have so many burbridge choices these days, including coffee cultures, cells, so successful. so how has a tease market share been growing or shrinking? so coffee is still very popular. that would be a very large competitor to tea. but again, the trend is showing that bottled water is growing by 7 percent. so that would be the largest competitor, but the coffee is still very competitive, but t is still just barely ahead of coffee even though coffee might be growing. and part of that can also be like you stated before, that there is a supply chain issue with

t being affected by climate change too. and supply change. and now are there any new advances are break through and t, cultivation and recent years? a? yeah, that's very funny that you say that because we just started our own very our own t farms here in alaska. so we have a geothermal power t farm. it's all sustainable. all the electricity is made from geothermal energy, all the heat. so we grow to year round, and um, and all the water, it's just natural water that's there from the hot springs. so it's all powered by geothermal energy, but some other innovations in agriculture to be watching this here would be automated, harvesters on different machinery that's used to harvest t faster because again, there's global labor shortages, their supply chain issues. climate change has also affected the growth of

t all over the world. and then other people are experimenting more with drones for being able to possibly harvest watched farms and fields fast more easily. and um, so those are some innovations that you'll see in cultivating the t plants coming out this year. do you think that the reliance on technology instead of the actual growers is changing the entire industry and making it much more of a commodity than what it currently is, which is more, which is for high end to use more of an each product. and so i think there's still going to be large markets for high end specially boutique to use our hand harvested . but for everyone else who's drinking tea in large amounts, especially with these tea beverages such as chromebooks show or ice tease or hard self searches that are trending right now. they're going to need innovation to keep up with demand in those other types of beverage tend histories. and t is considered

a commodity in large countries such as india, china, africa. but there is a large population to feel that need. so i think there's a good partnership of innovation with technology, but they're still going to be a demand for those high end boutique to use that people are willing to spend the money for. and i believe that the industry is very similar to the wine industry, but for most winds, the majority of winds are like under $20.00. what about t? what is the average price point for t? is it even seen as a luxury good in many parts of the world? and i see t as a luxury good for those non t producing countries. like in the u. s, there are t growers and t farmers here, but those teas will be very expensive because of the labor and it's not

a nationally t producing country. but the price is a t will be much less expensive on average in countries such as india, china, africa. and because they're creating high volumes of tea. and it's also, you know, the mindset is considered as a commodity because everyone's everyday drinking beverage, right. but for those who wants to buy loosely tease higher quality, i would say the average price would be about $10.00 for $2.00 to $4.00 ounces. but then you have this huge jump for those luxury style t is because we add something, streams easily, sell t's that are $30.00. announce plus all our $500.00 us dollars a pound that we have several different p, some from africa, some from india. some that we grow here in alaska that go easily for $30.00 and

house. and that has to do with a huge push of the younger generation looking for those special, the tease looking for artisan old. he's wanting to know the source, the story. and so what makes it, what makes it a luxury t like in your case? so our luxury cheese will be obviously hand crafted, not machine harvested, very rare. so as in rare is like it's hard to make or the seems anality is very short for that trip or that part of the t plants, it might be growing at a really high elevation. it might have other things that such as it needs to be set aside for a very small batch. and also that the, the demand is not that big. but those who do demand that to you, those who watch that t style like a garbage ceiling law, which is from india and then.
