5:03 pm
ordinary people suffer from rising levels of poverty, homelessness, suicide, and economic and security. weapons to ukraine, do not represent some kind of, quote unquote arsenal of democracy. as some in the us foreign policy establishment out, nato countries have already provided $40000000000.00 in weapons to ukraine over the span of this conflict. many of these weapons have landed on the black market to drug cartels, criminal organizations. and indeed, neo nazi and fascist elements, many of which now make up parts of ukraine's armed forces. now from there we heard from the russian deputy m bassett, or a dmitri pole gantski. and he spoke before the security council talking about how this calendar offensive that has been so hailed, has essentially made note progress on the part of ukraine. and he called it essentially suicide, said the brands are being forced to move in
5:04 pm
a very suicidal direction at the be, hast of washington. here's what was said by the russian deputy ambassador for 3 months already. we've been seeing the death throes of the cube machine. this is happening in the context of the so called strategic counter offensive a view curren. according to western propagandist, the counter offensive was supposed to yield a military victory. toward this end of the entire nato, military machine was thrown into the french billions was spent coming from the pockets of western tax payers the only result of ukrainian counter offensive, which even the west admits is tens of thousands of dead ukrainian soldiers and hundreds of units of destroyed expensive western equipment from ran rampant corruption and the disorganization is now repelling even at western mercenaries. it started to dawn and those mercenaries,
5:05 pm
but the only role that they have is not that of valley and fighters for ukraine's freedom. but as a just cannon fodder. now, the russian representative also pointed out that your brain forces continue to place anti aircraft weaponry in the civilian areas, which is illegal under international law, simply pushing the civilians into arms way. uh, basically using them as human shields. do you documented other atrocities uh that are being committed by ukranian force is that western media has chosen to ignore and emphasize that it seems that the strategy of washington is to prolong the conflict as long as possible while spending huge amounts of money on uh, huge amounts of weaponry being sent in to ukraine. so now we did hear from other members of the counselors and spoke critically. of russia blamed russia for the situation, echoing the standard uh, washington talking points. we heard from the nato countries, but it was quite
5:06 pm
a meeting in the un security council chamber, highlighting the danger of the continuous flow of weapons or t correspond. caleb martin taking us right off the dates with the face. caleb, as well from ukraine to new jersey, the latest the part missteps of american foreign policy have been exposed in a new or to go by to lecture prize winning journalist. see more or shar t corresponding shape those these them all out for us. if there's anyone who knows what's going on behind the scenes at the us state department, it's veteran journalist seymour hersh. he's just released a fascinating article, shedding some light on how what started out as a scramble to save ukraine has now become a scramble to say careers and reputations of the entire ukrainian misadventure look set to become afghanistan to point o. first as high level source pulls,
5:07 pm
no punches when revealing just how desperate the situation is. but even the recent saudi arabian piece talks being revealed as nothing more than he had another pointless debacle. organized by joe buttons, national security advisor jake sullivan. jetta was sullivan's baby. the official said just one more, but who's counting for the nation showed up all but 6, looking for free food after the desk to shut down and surprise, surprise, the impending collapse of the ukrainian project housing apparently limited the appetite of the state department. i did tater in chief victoria newland for yet more trouble making. she's turned up in these. you're looking to exploit the recent on rest there. but according to her, she's source. she didn't exactly like the results she was hoping for. the intelligence official put her remarks to the times in american military lingo, victoria set out to save the new share uranium owners from the barbaric russians and got a huge single finger salute. of course,
5:08 pm
when we think about the u. s. as proxy war and ukraine, there's one face that stayed with us from day one. and that's the old around good guy. us secretary of state anthony or blinking or tony to his friends. well, it seems totally solely isn't too eager to want to be front and center when it comes to the usual. we stand with ukraine photo ups. he actually seems to be preoccupied with other business these days. maybe tony know something that the white house still refuses to accept. secretary of state, tony blinking. where was he? i have the question of the official who said the blinking has figure it out that the united states that is our ally, ukraine will not win the war against russia. the word was getting to him through the agency. c, i a, the ukranian offense was not going to work. there was a show by the landscape and there were some in the administration who believed his so as the zalinski regime runs out a road and friends, it seems we're heading into that pre collapse phase where
5:09 pm
a messages and i'm dying support can feel an urgent scramble to justify failure and lay the blame. and that's the key. every shame looks at to be thrown on the bush by the us. it will be the ukrainian people that will pay the price just like they've been doing since the start of this do proxy war against russia. ok to another over a headline stories top officials from the echo was block of western african nations, have met in government to discuss a potential foreign military intervention in nature. it follows the qu, there 3 weeks ago that saw the president opposed on taken into custody by his own policy guard. we spoke with regional journalist, tennessee, a base, or who expands and what was discussed there is this gathering? yes, um the meetings are back or something, it looks like she's that has just finished part today and got ice expected to hold for 2 days. that's what, what, so was expensive around in saying that, you know, it stands for demo bracy in the region and that sound but nothing really. it's very
5:10 pm
clear about them. when or how a possible military intervention or innovation of nature would take place just yet . but that we know that um, you know, local media reports have suggested that there's a growing practitioner, same off, you know, about the cloud or it's in the meetings, you know, across minutes you to see an hour before i got out. you know where the meeting is taking place and this just goes to show this grow in sentiment across the continent . you know, many african countries, many residents here saying that, you know, they do not want aircrafts to interim fan. and the matter about you to said that they would interchange in, in the shower, we on the street from some paddlers that this meeting could be it meeting where of course leaders decide on how to you know, move forward from here. and earlier we also spoke with news producer joshua and not
5:11 pm
at kwan may i year i who joined us from down after covering the eco was meeting. he sees the event essentially resulted in the creation of plans for a luxury campaign on the apple watch. as we're ready to commit, all use all means available to switch to a sort of country back door, which means i have to forge this whole engagement. the military way is what is on the table at the moment. they seem to be a warranty. still get tons, but if you want to can be gentle, political engagement, however, the resolve of back was, is actually to meet the ministry as well as the news. yet we're kind of aggressive for anything today. it's basically what one law security expense would describe as an in military company. plus i bet you of been a member of speech. that was we also a member of the united nations on the united nation. so if we look at chapter 7 of
5:12 pm
the united nations, the fact that actually gets a, it is, it is against the use of falsely in, in resolve in peace. and what we usually do is to send piece to the admissions and of the troops on peacekeeping missions by march 20 gauge. so another one is, i guess the piano across, i mean after today's meeting, i spoke to quite a number of people and everyone seemed to be unhappy about that decision. of course, before a stand by force will be detroit, you will need the consent of the contribute just which is the member states after the report that she would now be. and they will submit to seem to be maybe you should be a, wasn't the issue on the piece council. they will not receive that report. and then f, a gauge meant to be late and then a final decision will be made. cma is no of the receiving end of sweeping sanctions from many of its former partners with the e from some the us cutting off all financial aid to the country. while echo was
5:13 pm
imposed restrictions to closing borders with news you're on suspending financial ties. and this year is no the 1st country that's felt the economic force of echo was it previously targeted? molly bertino fast and guinea with a barrage of financial sanctions following latrice cruz there. we lost the united nations house call for a she monetary and exemptions to those sections. it noted the for months well before the president was hosted, several 1000000 people were and are in dire need of food and the u. n. is winning, the current prices could worse in that situation. but we spoke to attorney and global policy analyst from nigeria down the with the wallet, who said that at from the beginning, the west african regional blog pursued the route of intervention rather than the thumbs it go. i've got,
5:14 pm
it runs right from the beginning. part of the strategy for negotiation is to bring things that a value to both sides. as you see people in the united states natal, i'm not taking those hot stones. so what's the do? but it was right from the beginning. ready sided that they would just say minutes we before decided negotiate which us about resulting so many of the delegations that you sent to need your bins not rejected. and this time, by maybe to, by deciding whether to have mattress because at the moment, usually most binding or by itself, the generally supported by 3 or the applicant countries. and you need to also understand that the board of states, they are by 61 of these borders that julia and these are the people lead the relatives, religion of business in jersey, new jersey. so you already have a problem where the country where the vehicle was jack comes from, might have a difficulty, riley around their support. they gave me here in the 1st place,
5:15 pm
but it's hardly the highest they can do it. bordering state for example. she has views. ready made toward the west while i guess these are the higher they gotta do is the following, this look on the list. yes. i'm rooms who create that kind of a conflict situation or they need you in the hope that it will make the gym and the general popular. but the problem with that is that if you look at africa, you look at that. so each of you see that in the last 15 to 20 years, be happy. see, let's see. so just to add the total reflectivity. so it's a delicate environment. the minute you begin to 5 possible form do um, they'll pull up that it will make that redeem on popular. you are likely to create a scenario that would escalate to the crisis it wish or cause if you manage it in that situation, which may, that's off. yeah. maybe as old as the customer, just like we have the out of the i to wash and the libyan capital between and 2 of the country's most powerful affections has left at least 55 people did our
5:16 pm
breaks of violence being a regular occurrence. there are since a nature of backed up rising cost, deep divisions in the nation back in 2011. several large glass marked in exchange of fire between the especial the turns force which acts as the capitals defective police. on the 400 and 44th brigade linked to libya's defense ministry, the deadly violence came off to the commander of the laughter was arrested sheltering. i'm already shaky piece between the 2, munitions, some i call the seems the worst. tripoli has witness. raise your. well, that comes as if police foreign minister has from the nature of this operation those dozen years ago and they'd be a failure on one which brought the instability to the region at large that lead the lease. i believe that in the it was a very serious mistake to let conducted be killed him and not have been the champion of democracy, but as long as he was eliminated,
5:17 pm
political instability arrived in libya and africa. well libby, a former italian colony is still a totally mess right now. suffering from the result of a french and british let invasion that killed its leader in the market alfie. back in october, 2011. and what did emily get out of that? a flood of migrants. it's not like it off. he didn't warn europe. telling french tv ahead of the nato bombing into the top of his country. that if he went down, then italy and france specifically would be flooded with millions of migrants because would be a played a role in securing and stabilize the africa and the mediterranean. and that's exactly what ended up happening. the flow of migration into europe is still a big problem with the death of hundreds of my friends and the central another trade in so far this year alone, libya has become a haven for human smuggling and slavery, and the launching pad for migration into europe and italy is really very new brenda, that as we've seen recently with all these, this capsizing in the mediterranean and driving of migrants,
5:18 pm
not quite the freedom and democracy that nato had promised. this is great to be leaving a free libya at midnight. tonight, a successful chapter in nato history will come to an end. you have already started writing a new chapter in libya's history. we acted to protect you together. we succeeded, believe it is finally free from being causing to break out from this rata to western mountains into aaa. okay, sounds like he's talking about a whole other planet. we had to deal with gadhafi for libya to serve as a show point of sorts for african migration heading towards europe. he promised to intercept any migrants who ended up in the mediterranean and send them back to libya before they could enter italy waters. but then italy ended up endorsing the western back libyan rebels against the dolphin. and, well, all bets were off for the libyan leader. for some reason, italy was just shocked. that cannot be was no longer willing to play ball and i pulled the migrant intersection deal after julie started cheering for regime change
5:19 pm
against putting desperate people on a boat and pushing them off to see sending them to dying. to meet the terrain in something very close to being another crime against humanity for which the regime will have to answer the western branding of those libyan rebels as heroes. just like the syrian rebels he fought against president bashar al assad before defective in joining up with other jihad us against the west. in some cases or the c i a trade and back. so solomon lighten led the taliban during the us cover organs. the soviets in afghanistan, in the eighty's that gave rise to outcry that we all know what happened with them. 911. it's all i need to say or more recently, like the training as our neo nazis western training and back to story. well, it's to be continued all western back and all western tools of regime change, who then became, or risk becoming still taking time bonds that could blow back at any time against
5:20 pm
western interest. no saw that coming ages the go gadhafi. now listen, you people of nato, you are bombing a wall, which student the way up african migration to europe. and then the way of all kinds of terrorist. this was libya. you're breaking it. you're really, it's and you will burn in hell for the thousands of migrants from africa and for support me. okay, that it will be so i never lie and i do not lie now. so there's another aspect to this tragedy. the french financial crime, prosecutors here in paris. i've told the french press back in may, that they will ask a judge to try former french president, regardless of prison, for passive corruption, criminal association, the legal financing of electro campaigns and concealment of embezzled public fines in libya. and lydia, so to her motives for i was thinking,
5:21 pm
darcy would certainly help to explain what african leaders had said way back when about western refusal to even less than take charge of this. libyan conflicts on their own confident in the view or in light of a peaceful resolution. they'll likely be to meet you on the top to bottom the mission. oh, so you want everybody to go back of the bloods and libya. so what's the takeaway here? turns out that italy did not stand up against its western allies to protect its very own interest in libya back then. and it continues to just go along to get along with pretty much everything that us lab, nato dies to the continued detriment of its very own interest,
5:22 pm
and certainly those of its citizens. okay, something else to tell you about today around the top at diplomats has met with his side a culture part of their visit to the yard. as they marked the resurgence of relations between the former regional arrivals following a lunmark deal brokered by china earlier this year. your char, to correspond to use of july on the main line. it was for minister jose 9. the on to saudi arabia essentially completed the recipe for me. it was sort of relationship between one and we all as every other we and has already been added to the next. the embassies and consulates officially being in the solid, foreign minister, or toward visiting was back in june when he met with the president, everyone raised the so strip to real means that the 2 former or try buried in a joint press conference today with his saudi counterpart pretty specialist of the
5:23 pm
issues between one and we all are on the right track yet. and yet we witnessed the day that the relations between the 2 countries are progressing the right direction . we believe that the idea of achievement, security, and development in the region is an idea of it cannot be fragmented. we are sure that these meetings will help the unity of this planet world for his park friends face all said that the king of hope to see it was president abraham re c. visiting the following king, size and position, which he had communicated during the june visit to get while i'm here at the outset today that would travel. so they came down to the top. the top diplomat said that they engage closely each way security areas they have to hear says that they will launch enjoyed the comic chemistry in the near future. they also agreed to increase their gauge areas such as taurus, uh, transit, lassi, an air transport energy and environment. so it seems that the old grievances have
5:24 pm
now given way to a promising friendship, which the for ministers believe that this will benefit nations and also help us now which security tire we just looked at. a lot of that our meeting today is a continuation of steps taken towards implementing the agreement to resume and diplomatic relations which represents a pivotal platform in the history of the 2 countries and the path of regional security. so under the script to the kingdom is the latest sign in both countries, determination improves time. and i, that's been happening really quickly since march this year with china broker that agreement between the 2 countries to re establish there are times after 7 years. i really hostility, prior to moscow hosted military officials from you want us on a review on wednesday, one to 2 sides. of course, our security officials from the to signs match with the,
5:25 pm
with each other to discuss ways to improve their military engagement. on the 11th of the sidelines will be limited security conference in muscle, this as the former adversary's back opposing sides in syria and weather, especially after the several times in 2016 found this for me, but the sony embassy angry over the execution of the top sheet and now we see that there reconciliation has large, these tense, the title when they're wanting different, i said that one has not just mended times. we, we are also on the personal nations a story to bring you from them. bob way at we're going to move on to because then pop way is ready to conduct harmonize general elections next week. now this, according to the southern african nations election body and it's
5:26 pm
opperation stairs involved with electoral commission is not influenced by the government, individuals or any other organizations. a sometimes is alleged. i would like to inform you that the commission is ready to conduct harmonized 2023 elections. the harmonized elections are essentially an all encompassing ball. it's where a citizens vote for the president's parliaments. provincial types of local authorities. 11 candidates, including the incumbent. presidents are buying for the countries position now whoever comes out on top will face a smooth media challenges at prices in some wild way. for instance, have skyrocketed in the past year with many criminal goods off by a, by 90 percent corruption as well remains in a cute issue. we spoke to locals in hot, all right, who shared their expectations? so like the fast approaching election that what do you want is peace shooting and
5:27 pm
after elections? it's big, big improvement in terms of the economy. in terms of food, the jump creation. we need jobs as you with, you know, we need to the, we need a queen just isn't fair. i meant was this sense of winter and election is to elect a little issue from cause a lot of empties and the president people will know the needs of the people who are able to feel the needs of those people. so basically that is what i'm expecting we is and bob wins. uh we just expect uh, free and fair elections into video hold full of the links inside the piece that is revealing before the election to us or reveal shooting enough. the elections also. yeah. what will that be going on? what would be on the bones of another big aspect? religious leaders have raised the alarm over political violence in some kind of way
5:28 pm
. in a statement, the nation's council of churches called for a pony with a blood shed. that's a mid fears of muscle arrest. after a supporter of the main opposition party was recently stoned to death. we spoke to the head of the council. reverend wilfred domingos who expressed is hope for a peaceful election process. it is but can sort of just use the judge. yeah. but we we, we have a full kitchen for the school. electro processes that it's just we, we have an uncontested electronic outcome because that was the best selection of 58 teams. we had challenges. uh, when the eviction resolve was tested and uh we, we, uh, which is that it least we have the free and critical election which will not produce a and it would tested the results like the, the one that's beheaded printed 80. therefore we, we know that's a,
5:29 pm
is about place fixing a lot of challenges and we have the knack of funding. the initiative is it just decided to process it. well, that's a that you let you know reduce it is out to that to be accepted by everyone in this that will help the initiative to come together and do with the economy and political into social issues that they can see. it's based with them haven't been at the, the, the issues of inflation and in the, as the bed you put on an employment and corruption, but use the kind of highly pull that i'd position, which is the political issue that can do weakness across the board. even media itself is the i the pull that i therefore one of the things that people advocating for is that maybe this election might to help a lot. but it's gonna need to realize that after the election they might be width together. and that's what people out in the after the after unit 2 months. now,
5:30 pm
what politically does, because once we do what it's going to does, that's when you get that, we'd be mean that uh, i couldn't, maybe we improve in some of the tenants. that's the basic we we can face them together and find a local solution for the problems that to of facing. is it mr. despite being the most sanction country on the planet? russia ended up in the pluck last year. new figures show that says global wealth is also set to rise by 38 percent according to report by this westbank, u. b. s. russia is set to about $600000000000.00 to its total wealth of fellow bricks, members, brazil, and india recorded the largest wealth increases last year alongside mexico. the report also say is the us last more well than any other country shedding $5.00 trillion dollars canada, japan, i'm this really a most.
