its answer to you towards the greendale is outrageous. the wise just published a justification document where they try to prove that all fertilizes in food and not sanctioned. we cited data, the grading from it. ukraine goes to commercial purposes and not to the poorest countries. since the beginning of the initiative, 32500000 tons of grades have been exported from ukraine. 9 recipients of the congo or the you almost 40 percent. well, just over 2.5 percent of the grades have been exported to the poorest nations. many you countries and protesting against continued inputs of ukrainian grapes without terrorist because it homes farm is in the book. if the you was worried about food security, let them buy up this up as grain and send it to developing nations. it's really starting to look like the black sea grain deal is intent on boosting ukraine screwed sales while trying to control and suppress rushes. rather than ensuring that both countries get their exports out of the calls like though defeated worlds for it's kind of like the classic fairytale cinderella way. or we could step mom,

8:32 pm
is up for renewal again this month, and russia has pointed out repeatedly that data effectively per tales, its exports while promoting you frames. and now the western press saving experts is complaining that russia's brain is just too powerful and risk quote, tightening it's dripping on the world's wheat. supply grain is not just important for feeding russians, but also it's a primary expos that enhance is russia self power. being the world's number one way to explore to is an accomplishment that's well understood in moscow. so life cinderella's ugly clothes of the green deal seems to serve to marginalize, russia, anti per town, and countries attractive natural assets. a bumper harvest, in this case, in the same way that western sanctions were meant to globally undermine russian energy. now the u. s. department of agriculture is pointing out that one in 5 global lead exports this season starting july 1st is likely to originate from
8:33 pm
russia. do you think that the west would be thrilled about that, particularly since they also cite the middle east and north africa as rushes t buyers, they seem to be in need of it. so the world they claim to want to feed is actually getting fed thanks to russia, but in reality, all of that is just a big concern troll. a big act that obscures their real priorities as agenda as rushes and bass are to be 9 nations. as said, the generosity of western donors in relation to the prizes and ukraine, which they themselves instigated is the place it is when it comes to syria, him and an african countries are western colleagues either have no money or allocated very reluctantly. and in small portions on ukraine alone, the us and it's satellites have already spent as much on weapons as the un office for coordination of humanitarian affairs has requested in 2023 to provide humanitarian aid to all those need around the world. about $55000000000.00,
8:34 pm
you get a feel for wisdom priorities. those western priorities, the mainly focused on preventing relationships between russia and as partners. but you think they'd realize that that doesn't even work in fairytales as muslims around the world have been celebrating their annual holidays. israel's supreme court has ordered the eviction of the last remaining palestinian family and a building filled with is riley. settlers at the court rejected the families final appeal to keep the home in a 200 year old building and the most the most living part of jerusalem is our middle east correspondent with the store. a new uh 68, was born and raised in this house. in the old city of jerusalem, these walls keep precious memories of her deceased parents. her marriage, 5 of her children and of the happy live here. but soon she might lose it forever. these rarely authorities have ordered the expulsion of nora and her family. i feel
8:35 pm
like i've been sentenced to a death penalty with every passing 2nd. i feel like my soul is banding today. i woke up scad. i drive that soldier straight to the house. i got out of bed panicking, running to make sure that there was no rage, and everyone was safe. nora whose family has been renting this place since 1953 is a protector tenant. this privilege status dates back to the jordanian rule and later was adopted by israel. it means neither she nor her children can be evicted unless there was a payment delay or unauthorized renovation. clearly not the case here, or if the family doesn't stay at the property that's, that's what the trust of has always. norris house since 2010 and that is behind the legal battles. use data from c said to the cameras to convince the court that the woman doesn't leave in the house, referring to a 4 month period when she had stayed at her son's place, due to a proven medical condition. the family believes it was just to protect the buick
8:36 pm
and they will hate them as a deluxe. so they are targets in my house and all the houses around the alex the most. you probably saw in the news that the saturday school is the asked nick, glancing over the whole area in the old city of jerusalem and they want it only for themselves to build their promise down pulse. they want to get rid of the arabs and game for control. what can we requested a comans from the jerusalem municipality on what the grounds are for the eviction. there was no response so far. they have been 14 court cases against nora's family in the last half a century to eviction orders. and the family says many attempts by the municipality, the israel custodian, and even the antiquities authorities to evict them. they said as on lo, phone, the student center is part of occupied palestinian temporarily and then an under international human stay in the public international. and this thing is on recognize us to protect this population, protect that population whose lights off,
8:37 pm
got an feed on the international law, and forcibly displacing palestinians also occupied typically actually constitutes and will crime and degree bates of international the family members complain they are being harassed by jewish settlers and neighbors, nora says they throw garbage water from the balcony. she blames them for the deaf of 5 trees in her little rooftop garden. they were also stones thrown at the windows. police, the family says, are rarely on the ground to help, which might make the perpetrators believe they can get away with everything. foresight of the state. the wizard is actually encouraging. the settlers methodology and the settlers behavior by being that and protecting them instead of protecting the people who are from the case here, it is not as lambs the, there's the 2 days. i'm god forbid this case. who does actually, if i stay and so i'm going to basically guessing evicted from the house and then bringing in the international community,
8:38 pm
condemned force displacement of palestine and families in numerous reports by you and human rice and humanitarian offices. you and foreign diplomatic commissions. there are constant calls on israel to stop this practice. it has little effect the, the you and estimates around $970.00 palestinians almost tough children are currently at 3 east, co forest eviction in east jerusalem alone, including the old city. we met a group of young activists in nor his house, foreigners and locals. they came to show their support and solidarity with the family. they take shifts to make sure they are present in 247, not to miss the moment when police knocked on the door as it is rarely do are citizen. i am not afraid of being arrested, which is a great privilege because i know that our palestinian partners for them being arrested is a terrible ordeal. and i can last much longer and have more serious implications. but this is non violent resistance. and so we're not afraid when we go out
8:39 pm
of the house is rarely police were waiting for us cold by a jewish lady who got the quote by our camera. they checked out ideas and ask the purpose of the filming. when we told them we're covering the eviction story, they asked if it's about a movement or a jewish family. unclear why it was relevant, but it certainly was an unnecessary question. no jewish family has ever been expelled from the l. c t. using the chance i ask the officer why they don't show up when norris house is attacked and the families threatened by center, there is the newer in her family. all the last palestinians left in this building. most of the house is on the street. i populated now by door south or is coming from different parts of israel and from abroad. turning the moves named quarter of there was an old c t into a jewish one. legal battle which lasted 47 years now seems to be lost. the court notified nora's family, but the eviction may happen any time now within the next 2 weeks. but split plan is
8:40 pm
to stay. they're not ready to give up on the place they have called home for generations. right? if an ocean o r t from jerusalem the head of kids, one of the key of largest monitor is that says ukrainian security officials offer him a choice the gate. his freedom is given a hard pa. so the option which spelled out he must denounce the credit, you know, if at all the church which has ancient ties to russia and support the transition of his monastery to a different organization connected with, keeps leadership. metropolitan people refused to deal saying he's just done. nothing wrong, he was making it according key word judge extended his current house arrest until the end of august. back in april, he was charged with inciting religious hatred and just defined what key of cold russian aggression. now just days ago, ukraine's president introduced a bill to move the traditional orthodox christmas dates to align with the catholic calendar. he said that the russian ideology, including its religion,
8:41 pm
had been imposed on ukrainians among it's enough for him to do from entering the the key. if the judge is collaborative, which is a, a very key and historical point and all those who are the have to leave within 3 days. we heard from the academic and john lustration, michael, he says the religious persecution by keeps regime has already been ongoing for a number of years. a little mention of this because this is part of an ongoing propaganda campaign where in the broadest of all possible sensors the ukranian regime is being given a blank check by. ready neutral with the utah p in union, adams, the united states was happening to. ready the ukranian orthodox church is an ongoing persecution. it's concerning that metropolitan pothole has been under how you start asked them that this has been going on since last april, behaving this. of course, we can trace this back much follow up to 2018 when the ukrainian government and
8:42 pm
p as voted as an act of parliament as a, as a government moved to rename the church. and it's very rare, particularly in any state pretending to be a liberal democratic state, to use an act of parliament for subjects to change its name, to reflect some form of incentives for the legion you know, to put in to parents. this is the most school patriarchy. you know, this would be a 10, the, you know, during perhaps world war 2, when, but it was a war was idols, hitler, and his allied miscellany to re label the catholic church and england. vitale and catholic church as a civilian infrastructure continues to come on, the shelling ruptures on baset of the un speaks about how the west is not only pumping weapons in cash. and the k. f is also training ukrainian soldiers and has been for quite some time already. a stem curriculum looks like they've west is now
8:43 pm
not any pumping weapons into the key. avery team relentlessly and also training the ukrainian forces and they are not c battalions on a standard trace is providing the ukranian army with intelligence or the purpose of instructing an even authorizing strikes specific targets with weston weapons. at the same time, it is asserted diligently to the western countries. the not involved in the conflict with russia is not just a minute issue. and ukraine k of would like you to join them in turning a blind eye to the facts. but numbers don't lie and according to a recent poll, only 43 percent of ukraine, your respondents currently living in ukraine. se not these or neo, not the ideal a g is not widespread in the country oh, in pulling ukrainians live in abroad. that number, the cruise to 36 percent pointing to the fact that those who have left the country . so united ism as a bigger problem for ukraine. furthermore, when questioned if the revolution of thing that a in ukraine during 20132014 could be considered
8:44 pm
a could at the 29 percent of ukrainians within the country live. that in fact, was one of those who live abroad were much more willing to pull the event as to now it is prudent to approach these polls like many others conducted must be ongoing conflict in ukraine with caution. after all, they usually exclude the regions that recently became a part of russia, as well as the plane is residing in other parts of russia, while ignoring the potential influence of desirability, bias, and fear. furthermore, it is no more the that ukrainian president bludgeon resist lensky himself. does not shy away from stimulate confirming reports that link b is solved to tell you to not z id. ology is off battalion that is said to be nazi affiliated organization, operating as a militia in your country, and said to be committing their own atrocities as also it was one of those of many
8:45 pm
battalions. the key of will need, you know, they are what they are. it appears that nazism has indeed found a breeding ground in ukraine. and it's not just russia that notice that this sentiment has been a code by numerous western institutions over the years raising alarm about the is solved and united the power military group noted lee, the us house of representatives has admitted in the past that the post school regime in ukraine has heavily relied on the assistance of knives, the forces to execute its violence campaign against ethnic russians. i am grateful that the house of representatives unanimously passed my amendments last night to ensure that the military does not trained members of the repulsive neo nazi as a battalion, along with my measures to keep the dangerous and easily traffic man portable air defense systems out to these unstable regions, however significant shift in the western node, it occurred in february 2022. within months,
8:46 pm
as all fighters with being states has in congress semen, stanford university, i'm us and the seas wound over ukrainian soldier who switch account overflowed with new knots. images. facebook made this don in decision to allow post praise in the as of battalion, even though the company admitted that he was a hate group. this overnight normalization of white supremacy was possible because west and institutions driven by zeal to ignore edison negative about our ukranian allies decided that the new knobs and military formation in a watch on nation had suddenly um, miraculously stopped being near nancy. the magic of, uh nancy, germany as being uh, in grain do you know, societies uh, along the line of this never again uh, model to and to see uh, the amount of, uh, media support. find those uh the provider you cover being uh expanded
8:47 pm
to a regime that essentially save rates. uh individual such as the funds on there. uh uh to this day, uh and um, basically relies a lot on the relays that he has in the united states and the uh, and kinda in the, as far as the uh, daughters and grand daughters and sons are former nancy's from you frame. and it's something that married and nobody the west would have ever imagined the icon. all gor fee associated with these extremist, hey, groups like the school and floss, those symbols, infamously, worn by concentration. camp guards, as well as the enigmatic emblem and known as the block sun. has indeed surface with noticeable frequency on the uniforms of soldiers active leave. fighting on the front lines, something that was hard to ignore,
8:48 pm
even for the mainstream media. the ukraine's ambivalence about these symbols and sometimes even its acceptance of them. risks giving new main stream live to icons that the west has spend more than a half century trying to eliminate edwards, he is binding opposition. parties and any voice is criticizing the military's links to neo nazi groups. it appears that the opinions of your brain is living abroad, and those are residing in the country point to very different perceptions of ukraine. but it positively imply that there is greater freedom to engage in discussions concerning these matters outside the nations borders. argentina is bypassing the us dollar in the 1st, it's settled, a $2700000000.00 a debt pavement with the international monetary funds using the chinese you one and there was a keeps and a boss get of currencies notice as the ours and the countries are central by pointed to its liquidity and a host of other currencies, other than the dollar,
8:49 pm
as the reason for using the one. meanwhile, in origin time delegation is scheduled to visit america next week to wrap up tolts with the i m f on plans to reduce the south american nations budget deficit and inflation. although the level lender has declined to comment on this story 1st, for us here at the international, the meantime, the donor as ation does continue as countries around the world are increasingly using their own national currencies in bilateral trade by passing the american greenback next month. the bricks group, including rusher and china, are set to hold a somebody in south africa where a new joint currency for the blog is expected to be very high on the agenda. right now over 2 dozen countries are looking to join what many of called the most significant block emerging in the multi polar world, iraq saudi arabia and the u a. e are also active and exploring alternatives to the us on a as well. yeah, we was talking to economy, so just sell us or not us who brings into question of why auction so, you know,
8:50 pm
should have to use the us dollar and transactions when it's trading with countries that are not the united states. you can see of the time that is the 2nd largest economy in the world and is one of the main trading partners of parts and tina. what's your last? why full china in origin seen us rate using us dollars instead of aaron b, y argentina and brazil another my major trading partner of art. and, you know, we've traded using us dollars instead of the are developing and you can see of the south. the thing is that the origin connecting notes rely on the us solar because the power of seeing fire to control the people. so for so realized on the us solar and institution, sense of things and measuring when it's very found us to control endings or feet or in the macro economic and fiscal policy itself. the countries, the global south countries are actually looking to worse, the freaks look as a new emerging power and this, the new affective center as to develop its policies and its economies. well,
8:51 pm
does the subbing countries i'm deeply concerned about? it seems it's shared in the global economies decreasing over the last 20 years. it gains bang crease in the rates. countries, you know, in 2022 when western players prose or sold russia as foreign assets and cut it off from swift. countess other countries started looking for alternatives to the us dollar and the swift payment system. right now, the so called the dollar eyes asian calculation is growing faster than anyone expected. and already there's an excess of dollars floating on the level, not good. play it safe, get away from the read more, but also use of the to the u. s. department of
8:52 pm
veterans affairs is one of the most poorly managed departments in the us government rivaling elements of the justice department like the bureau of prisons and the f. b . i in documented wrong doing different presidents have appointed secretaries with different backgrounds to try to write the ship, including general's business executives, attorneys, and even activists. but nothing is worked. there's something deeply wrong about the culture within veterans affairs. we only know about it, thanks to whistle blowers, i'm john kerry onto and welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in 2018 for police officers from the us department of veterans affairs went public with allegations of waste, fraud, abuse, and illegality in the sprawling department that is supposed to take care of americas veterans. v a police officers are responsible for protecting the property,
8:53 pm
staff, veterans, and visitors. they cover v a property all across the united states, conducting patrols responding to calls, including calls about suicide o patients and investigating crimes. those 4 officers found evidence indicating that their supervisors covered up false reports, covered up for corrupt officers. one fairly promoted people in the forest with whom they were having affairs, and performed numerous acts of favoritism. they had side businesses in violation of ethical codes and they engaged in discrimination. gross mismanagement, an overtime pay fraud when they reported their findings to senior officials, rather than those officials acting on the information they targeted these 4 officers. almost immediately, there were problems with their pay. they received poor performance evaluations and they were transferred to desk duty, while long term investigations against them played out. as we say to frequently on this show, what happened was exactly the opposite of what was supposed to happen. were joined
8:54 pm
today by one of those v. a police officers, tim petoskey. tim, thank you so much for being with us. we're glad to have you an honor to be here. tim, tell our viewers a little about yourself. how did you get involved in law enforcement? especially in federal law enforcement and how did you end up at the department of veterans affairs? i'm sure you. so i've, i'm, i've been a comp for a very long time. i often joke that and i'm upset for anything else. i retired from the union support organization and then i started looking for something to do is sort of that dead space between retirement, where you're still young enough to get out and do the job. but you've passed your 1st milestone, your job to retire from the 1st department. and so i accidentally discovered that the department of veterans affairs actually had the police officers. i was
8:55 pm
surprised to find that out initially. and so 2009, when i retired from the states side, i took a job with the va for that reason. originally i did my thought was this was going to be a retirement good. i. i couldn't envision that law enforcement at a hospital would be that detailed. and so i figured it would be a good place for me to kind of to my shields until all my retirements settled out and i was still in the army reserves. so i figured, you know, this was a good place to, to come. and so i've been working since the eighty's. i worked street crimes in florida in those years. um, and i've been military intelligence officer for quite a few years. and m. p in the army and in the air force for a few years as well. so that's pretty much all i've done with my life. wow. boy scouts. yeah, it is right. you had been at the va for a long time. you're a professional. you know the rules and then you started seeing things that were
8:56 pm
just wrong. tell us about that and about what you did when you saw these things. i will regionally, like i said, i drive in 2009 by 2010. i kind of looked around and i was like, wait a minute, especially in what we call the one who facilities like out here in seattle or detroit or boston. it is not just being a hospital. com. there's a lot of stuff that goes on in those facilities and the agency here in seattle is woefully understaffed. your officers are wearing a hand me down 2nd chance best that we're out of date. the radio system didn't work all kinds of stuff. and i almost just walked off the job. i almost just put myself in the bag and walked out the door. and it a friend of mine and rob ad it was assaulted so bad that you'll never be accomplishing. wow. and he laid a pool of his own blood streaming over those radio systems that can work. and um,
8:57 pm
and we couldn't find it. and uh, so i looked a friend of mine and joe murphy, the fellow officer. and the days after rob's assaults, we just kind of each other in the eye. and so what are we going to do? and joe said to me and my, my brother's keeper. hm. and those words, i just didn't like a lightning bolt. and that's because joe was a young guy, she was starting history at the end of mine, right? like my, the ability for the view to harm me is marginalized by the fact that i, my career is science who lives in many respects. joe was stepping up in an environment where the vehicle couldn't ruin his ability to be a cock forever. and so it was a, there was an integrity check, you know, and so i had to step forward and joe, and i did we, especially those initial years. it was just joe and i against the world. and he moved on to the federal protective services and went on with his career. and i
8:58 pm
stayed at the v a u side of the story of the new story where the 4 of us went public. but i, i've gotten public several times is before that uh and after that, so it was, at least there was a shipping list that would, uh, be by the be a, my name's on it and they call me the ring leader or the police national and wow, i mean, i bear that like a badge of honor. um that's right. i don't know how big that is, but i'm by more than willing to own it. and so it's been a pretty long road and this is my 1st interview. yeah. well hey, i'm thrilled by that. i'm thrilled by it. this is important. you made protected whistleblower complaints. there are laws to deal with this kind of thing. were you working? were you working together with the other officers on these issues, or were you reporting independently of one another and then sort of came together later. yes. to box. so i worked my own issues. there were officers
8:59 pm
who were absolutely, i'm afraid it's for their careers to come forward. so they would send me the information. i would divide it and collect it and then i would file the complaints for them. some folks uh uh, jeremy balls and out of the washington d. c. b a. we kind of encountered each other um because they had list we were going through that list. i'm like, oh wait a minute, i know this guy. and he and i started talking and they were actually doing all the same things in dc that i was doing independently of me and unknown to me until the help us came out. and then we started coordinating, of course, from that point forward. so uh, so yes to vote. so tell us what happened once you blew the whistle you've said, or at least i've seen accounts in the press saying that you were given poor performance evaluations. you were put on desk duty while you were investigated. for example, tell us about that and what else uh, happened to you for sure. well,
9:00 pm
the agents of that was in december, they fired. oh, my gosh. yeah, support. i agree with this part. so it was, it was to prolonged. the 1st was that i was working a case in which a veteran had stated that he had contracted with someone to kill his wife. i was working that case with municipal agency, the federal police department, and i shared information with the, the, under the exceptions to the law. and they fired me because they say that those exceptions to the law don't exist. that's their entire case. the 2nd problem was they didn't like an email communication and a facebook post that i made as a union steward on official time under the direction of the union. good career. and so the, the 2 aspects to the, to my term, to december's termination.
