6:04 pm
from the pockets of western tax payers. the only result of ukrainian counter offensive that even the west is forced to admit is tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers killed and hundreds of pieces of expensive western equipment destroyed. the complete collapse of the system of ukrainian self government. the widespread corruption and disorganization now repel even the western mercenaries. they are beginning to understand that the only rule assigned to them is not to strive for the freedom of ukraine, but to become cannon fodder. now the russian representative also pointed out that you bring in forces continue to place anti aircraft weaponry in the civilian areas, which is illegal under international law, simply pushing civilians into farms way. uh, basically using them as human shields, documented other atrocities is uh that are being committed by ukrainian forces that western media has chosen to ignore and emphasize. but it seems that the strategy of
6:05 pm
washington is to prolong the conflict as long as possible, while spending huge amounts of money on huge amounts of weaponry being sent in to ukraine. so now we did hear from other members of the council who 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 a meeting in the un security council chamber, highlighting the danger of the continuous flow weapons well from ukraine to need your more in between the latest part missteps of american foreign policy helping expos just and then you are to go buy to let your prize winning, journalist seymour hers. archie, corresponding shit and bows these behind. 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,
6:06 pm
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 pull, no punches when revealing just how desperate the situation is with even the recent saudi arabian piece talks being revealed as nothing more than yet another pointless tobacco organized by jo 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 co ops 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
6:07 pm
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, 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 all 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 us. 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 had 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
6:08 pm
the agency c. i a, the ukrainian offense was not going to work. it 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 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 look set to be thrown onto 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. another headline story top officials from the echo was blocked on the western african nations have met in ghana to discuss a potential foreign military intervention in nature. it follows the crew there 3 weeks ago that sold the president to pose um, taken into custody by his own palace guard. we spoke with regional journalist,
6:09 pm
tennessee, a base, a experience on what was discussed up versus gather. yes, the meetings are back over some electric field that has just finished part today and got ice expected to hold for 2 days to start with. so at was expensive. it's frowned in saying that, you know, it stands for demo bracey in the region. and that sounds like nothing really, it's very 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, a bad plan 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,
6:10 pm
they do not want aircraft to interim fan in the matter of fact, you just said that they would interchange in, in the shower. we on the street from some paddlers that this meeting could be it meets and where of course, leaders decide on how to you know, move forward from here. just continuing the point earlier we spoke with news producer, joshua, none at kwan may. i year i who joined us from gun after covering the eco was meeting. he sees the event essentially resulted in the creation of plans for a military 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 get to forge this whole engagement. the military way is what is on the table. they seem to be a boutique studio tons, but if you want to can be gentle, political engagement. however, the result of banquet was, is actually to meet the military as well as the news. yet we're kind of aggressive
6:11 pm
for anything today. it's basically what the one law security expense would describe as a military company, plus, i bet you will be the member. that's what we all as a member of the united nations on the united nation. so if you look at chapter 7, the all the united nations, the fact that actually gives a it is, it is against the useful for sleeping in resolving peace. and what we usually do is suspend piece to the admissions and of the troops on peacekeeping machine back on march 20 gauge. so another one is, i guess if you had a problem, 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 420 tools. you wouldn't need the consent of the contribute test, which is the member states. i thought it was locked in. that would be cheaper. what now? and they will submit that seemed to be maybe they should be, of course,
6:12 pm
to be issued on to the piece council. they will not receive that report and been f . a gauge meant to be late and then a find out the session will be to just to point out another aspect to your needs, yours know at the receiving end of sweeping sanctions from many of its former partners with the e u front and some of the us causing the whole financial aid to the country while equal was itself imposed restrictions. closing borders. whitney here on suspending financial ties. naomi is not the 1st to feel the economic for sale of echo was it previously targeted molly burkina, faso and guinea with a barrage of financial sanctions following military cruise. their to been with united nations has called for a few monetary and exemptions to those sanctions. it noted that for months, well before the president was listed, several 1000000 people were and are in dire need of food. and the u. n. is wanting
6:13 pm
the current crisis. converse in that situation. well, we spoke to attorney on global policy analysts from nigeria, daniel. but while i'm who says that from the beginning, the west african region of law pursued the routes of intervention rather than the promising it go. i've got, it runs right from the beginning. part of the strategy for negotiation is to bring things that a value to both sides. as you'll see people in the united states natal, i'm not taking those hot stubs. so what's the do? but it was right from the beginning. ready sided that they would just say ministry before they started negotiate, which about resulting so many of the delegations that this tend to need your bins not rejected. and this time by maybe see by deciding whether to have mattress because at the moment you most find it all by itself. the generally supported by 3 or the applicant countries. as you need to also understand that the board of sticks,
6:14 pm
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, but it's hardly the highest they can do it. bordering state, for example, we shift use. ready mentor, the west, while i guess these are the higher they gotta do, is to find this, look on police, just a ruse to 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 as of each of you see that in the last 15 to 20 years, be happy. see, this is such as the and the total respective. it is. so is a delicate environment. the minute you begin to 5 possible fun do um, you know, that it would make duff regime on popular. you are likely to create
6:15 pm
a scenario that would escalate. ready process it was a cause you manage it in that situation which may, that's off the baby's thoughts and as a customer, just like we have the out ups. okay, now the story, we are closely following to ex flush and the libyan capital between 2 of the country's most powerful functions has left at least 55 people did. it breaks all by themselves being a regular occurrence there. since a nato backed uprising caused deep divisions in the nation, but in 2011, several live bloss marked on exchange of fire between the special determined sports which accessed the capital of the fund to police. on the 400 and 44th brigade linked to the b as defense ministry, the deadly violence came after the commander of the lawford was arrested shop ring of already shaky peace between the 2 malicious, some of called the scenes. the worst tripoli has witness been over
6:16 pm
a year in law. it please foreign minister, has from the nato's operation a dozen years ago in libya, failure of one which brought instability to the region of charge that lead. at least i believe that it was a very serious mistake to let conducted be killed and may not have been the champion of democracy, but as long as he was eliminated, 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. no market alfie back in october, 2011. and what did we 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
6:17 pm
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 mother trade in so far this year alone, libya is 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, not quite the freedom and democracy that nato had promised. this is great to be in libya, 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 olivia to serve as a choke point of sorts for african migration heading towards europe. he promised to
6:18 pm
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 could off, he was no longer willing to play ball and i pulled the migrant intersection deal after billy started cheering for regime change against them, putting desperate people on a boat and pushing them off to sea, sending them to dying to meet the to randy and it's 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 detective and joining up with other jihad us against the west. in some cases or the c i a trade and back. so solomon lighten
6:19 pm
led the taliban during the us cover oregon associates in afghanistan in the eighty's that gave rise to outcry that we all know what happened with them. 911. that'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 western interest. no saw that coming ages to go golfing. 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, i'll tie 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,
6:20 pm
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. of libya, so to your motives for i was think adolphe 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. no way previous to me due on the 3rd, if i need to go back to the mission also to kind of show you what everybody did go back of the blood disability.
6:21 pm
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 does to the continued detriment of its very own interest. and certainly those of its citizens around the top diplomats has met with his saw the country part on a visit to reach out as a mark the resurgence of relations between the former regional arrivals following a lunmark deal brokered by china earlier this year. here's our t correspond use of july the main line. it was for a minister jose, not the saudi arabia, essentially completed the recipe for fully restored relationship between one and we all as every other we and has already been added to the next. the embassies and
6:22 pm
consulates officially being in the solid foreign minister or we are waiting for a visit to get back to june when he met with the young man presidents abroad, raised the so now straight to real means that the 2 former all buried in a joint press conference today with his counterpart, pretty space on the 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 that 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
6:23 pm
today that would travel. so they came down to the top. the top diplomat said that they will engage closely each way. security areas they have to here says that they will launch enjoyed the comic chemistry the near future. they also agreed to increase their gauge areas such as taurus on transit, glassy eyed air, transport, energy, and environment. so it seems that the old grievances have now given way to a promising french in which the foreign ministers believe that this will benefit nations and also help us now which 6 you are tired. read you loud and look 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 in the past of regional security. so under the script to the kingdom is the latest sign in both countries, determination improves time. and i,
6:24 pm
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 are really hostility. prior to moscow hosted military officials from you want to install any review on wednesday one or 2 sides. of course, our security officials from the to science match with the, with each other to discuss ways to improve their military engagement on the 11th of the sidelines will be limited to security conference in most of this as the former adversary's back composing signs in the norwegian syria, and especially after the several times in 2016 found this to me, but the sony embassy angry over the kingdoms execution of the top. and now we see that they're rich association 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
