7:03 am
crossing now to new york, the un security council can begin to discuss issues around the flow of weapons to crane brushes. deputy envoy claimed key of western backers had pushed it into a failed counter offensive resulting and the loss of templates ukrainian soldiers are these. caleb martin was following the session. the you and the high representative for disarmament affairs. open the meeting, who is talking about how the flow of weapons by both sides is not leading to de escalation, that is putting more lives at risk. after that, we heard from an american journalist who describes the us military industrial complex and the profit making entities driving the con. i'm here to is a us citizen who was witness tens of billions of us tax dollars. go to funding and arming a proxy war against russia. well, people in the us, ordinary people suffer from rising levels of poverty, homelessness, suicide,
7:04 am
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 as 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 dimitri pole gantski. and he spoke before the security council talking about how this counter offensive that has been so hailed, has essentially made no progress on the part of ukraine. and he called it essentially suicide on the subject. brands are being forced to move in a very suicidal direction as to the hast of washington. here's what was said by the
7:05 am
russian deputy ambassador. what was it to shoot you through the system for 3 months now, we have been witnessing the agony of the key of regime within the context of ukraine's so called strategic counter offensive, which, according to western propagandist, was supposed to bring it a military victory for that purpose, the entire needle military machine was applied billions of dollars have been spent 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 area,
7:06 am
which is illegal under international law, simply pushing civilians into farms way. uh, basically using them as human shields. do you documented other atrocities is uh that are being committed by ukrainian forces. busy western media has chosen to ignore and emphasize, but it seems that the strategy of 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. the beller russian president has also waited on the issue of sending weapons to ukraine, claiming european citizens are exhausted by the conflict while their politicians
7:07 am
continued to execute commands from washington. in an interview with the ukrainian journalist, alexander lucas angle also mould about when the fighting will end, are you able to play is up in the western europe. the gym is the fringe of those except the bridge. of course, they are under america. they don't need this war anymore and they had told people say that the war is not in america, but in our house is the war must be ended. europeans absolutely ready for this. but so far they're executing, come on is like give 15 lipids, but your opinions are reluctant to give military equipments. you see, but the french and the american people, the dutch are reluctant to send weapons. so the west can no longer be called a single collective cement. they send these signals to president zelinski zalinski resist, because the main patron behind him is the united states. so europe is already slowly starting to drift. public opinion in leading european countries is very bad in relation to this war or more people are speaking out of gain states because they
7:08 am
feel the home of this and they want it's, the americans have profit taken from this and very encouraging zelinski in this regard. therefore, there is no unity between europeans and zalinski in terms of continuing the war. and if the americans want to, they will signal to zalinski and he will sit down for negotiations. okay. nope. be that will be no um supplies, so that will be the will determine that and why would the americans want to signal this is a landscape from a store, and you probably won't because they will understand that ukraine will not when it will lose. and if you create lose is ultimately well then the west will be frosted . therefore, they will need to give the signal sit down at the negotiating table at the right moment. now the news echo was ready to intervene. militarily, a new share of diplomacy fails, that was the blunt statement from the block of west african nations. following a meeting of the group and gone on thursday, the talks friday set to focus on
7:09 am
a potential intervention plan. in everything as say the, the forces of west africa moved the military on disability and when it's ready to us up to the portable duty your videos have been the most say good time on time. big in the 1990 you see liberia is a radio in could you walk me be so today the saying, why are you going to be mean in nice? you know, soul serials, interest. speak here, but there's more going to die with. it was that vision, threats of military intervention started 3 weeks ago after a qu let the military leaders taking power. however, there hasn't been a consensus on a use of force to restore the previous government cobble where they says it's unlikely to take part while gonna,
7:10 am
and my jerry are split on the issue. elsewhere on the confidence, algeria and chad have said they strongly oppose interference. well, are kind of false o and molly warrens that they will treat any intervention as a declaration of war. the african union says it's fiercely against any move on the share wallet. in contrast, the central african block backs echo also stands against the crew government. in new year, we gauged reaction in the country to see how people feel about this situation right now. a video on the who did not give a damn about a car wash because has been tailor made to the president's in power and we did not need it while the eco wasn't convinced or not these guys ready for all options. we are ready, whatever eco was besides, we are ready. why do i ask god not to bring echo was we lost more than 600 people killed by joe, hottest. i support the military and god perse, anyone who doesn't love me. sure. can we believe that what is currently going on the nice year is actually bigger than the saw hill region is putting in question
7:11 am
the democratic odor in west africa kind in africa or is a whole if we find today is to prevent these kinds of things happening and to ensure future for our continent. illegitimate, i don't, jerry. and so i was still waiting for the results of the costs meeting and neighbor and gone out on the situation in new york. many people here are welding behind the national council for the safe guard of the homeland. and in addition to demonstrations and declarations, junk, new jersey, and have organized themselves in the citizen which committee to stay a vigilant over any potential military intervention. locals also say they're reassured by booking a fos, so in molly's military support for this year, what is more after the acting prime minister's visit to charlotte news years, government has said it is open to diplomatic dialogue. now, even the united states has announced a new american ambassador will take office in the days to come. and meanwhile, germany has given its backing to
7:12 am
e. u sanctions against the new military leaders in new share. since the code 9 am a's found itself under a blanket of sanctions from former western partners, as well as from its neighbors and the echo watch group. most financial aid has been cartwell echo off members also imposed the travel restrictions. the blocks previously used sanctions against molly burkina, faso, and denny, where military cruise also took place. there's producer joshua era joined us from gonna after covering the echo last meeting. and he says that the event essentially resulted in the creation of plans for a military campaign. the apple watch, as it were 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. i think the same idea of what it takes to get tons, but if you want to can be gentle, political engagements. however,
7:13 am
the resolve by philosophy 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 more security expense would describe as a military company club. i bet you of been a member of speech. 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 chapter actually gives a it is, it is a guess the usual, mostly in, in resolve and peace. and what we usually do is to send peacekeeping missions of the troops on peacekeeping machine back on march 20 gauge. the other 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 about who was before a start by $420.00 tools that you wouldn't be the consent of the contribute, just which is the member states. i thought it was lucky that would be cheaper,
7:14 am
wouldn't now be and they will make that seem to be liberal. you should be of course be the issue on to the piece council. they will not receive that report and been in gauge meant to be late and then a find out the session will be made from the global sales to the north and more in between the latest apparent missteps of us foreign policy had been laid fair in the new article by the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, and taking us through this is our t shaped bows. who's got a very insightful report? 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 scrambled to save ukraine, has now become a scramble to save careers and reputations of the entire ukrainian misadventure look set to become afghanistan to point o her. she has high level source pulls,
7:15 am
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 judges was sullivan's baby, the official side. just one more pop about who's counting for the nation showed up who but 6, looking for free food off to the a desk, shut down. a surprise, surprise, the impending collapse of the ukrainian project has no power the limited the appetite of the state department's agitator in chief victoria newland for yet more trouble of making cheese turned up in these you're looking to exploit the recent on rest there. but according to her, she is source, she didn't exactly like the results she was hoping for. the intelligence official puts her remarks to the times. an american made a treat link go. victoria newton set to save the media, uranium owners from the bomb barry russians and got a huge single fitness on that. of course,
7:16 am
when we think about the us on his proxy more, you cried. 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, what it saves. tony certainly isn't too eager to want to be front and center when it comes to the usual. we started with ukraine photo ops. he actually seems to be preoccupied with other business these days. maybe tony know something that the white house still refuses to accept section of state attorney blinking way. was he? i asked that question of the official who set the blankets to stick it out to the united states is that is all our ukraine will know when the boy gains russia. the word was getting to him through the agency c. i a, that the ukranian of finds was not going to work. it was a shy, buys the landscape, but there was some in the administration who believed his book. so as the landscape regime runs out a road on friends, it seems we're heading into that pre collapse phase where
7:17 am
a messages and i'm dying support can see an urgent scramble to justify failure. and to lay the blame. and that's the key. every shame look set to be thrown on to the boss for 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. former c i, a analysts, larry johnson believes that if the us found itself in a financial downturn, there would be a rapid rethink of foreign policy. an economic crisis in the united states, i think, would bring to the war to a pretty abrupt halt because united states should know be no more be able to fund ukrainian. ukraine is entirely dependent upon western age, especially which is provided by the, by no ministration. the other factor is the complete the feats of ukrainians in this counter offensive. that's going to cause some rough precautions throughout, not only washington, but throughout europe, as they recognize that they've placed,
7:18 am
or they've placed all their bets on a losing horse. but us foreign policy, frankly, is in disarray, say our duty illogically blinded by hatred. there is no rational objective thought being demonstrated by anyone in the senior leadership within the abiding administration. despite the reality of what's taking place on the ground, they are ignoring the facts and they continue to press forward because in their own mind, they believe sincerely that it's just a matter of applying a bit more pressure to russia that will cause the collapse of the russian political system and the collapse of the military of the russian, china are conducting a joint patrol and the pacific ocean that says the military cooperation between the 2 countries grows. both worship groups trained in add, see were fueling conducted anti submarine exercises and repelled the simulated
7:19 am
enemy air raid. they also held rescue drills and practice helicopter take off and landings from the decks of the warships. also, while following power little courses, cruise trains to synchronize speeds and maintain distances, the, the pentagon is deploying more forces to the waters of the persian gulf. us defense department says it's to quote, deter a range in forces in the region. it comes in a dispatch between the wes and a run over the seizure of ships in the area, which is the gateway to the gulf of oman, and the radian seats on to one of the largest oil fields in the world. meanwhile, a bi partisan group of us senators has urged president biden to offload hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil on board. a seized iranian tanker which has been held off the coast of texas since may. that's the spike. no us energy companies expressing any interest in being involved will request that you will expeditiously
7:20 am
to resolve the delay in the tron spelled, seized, or from the suicide of john, and continued to force the law against foreign terrorist organizations, such as the i r g, c. it is imperative that all administration and make it clear that iran and designated foreign terrorist organizations will not be able to prevent our government from carrying out legitimate law enforcement operations. iran has warrant that any u. s. companies that decide to unload oil from the tanker could receive a forceful response. we have, i declare that we would hold any oil company responsible, the salt to one load or crude from the vessel. and we would also hold america responsible. the era of hits and run is over, and if they hit, they should expect to be struck back. we spoke with a senior foreign policy analyst and public diplomacy strategist who says that 3000 us troops in the persian gulf feed. the crisis between washington enter on and sad
7:21 am
thing in seizing uranium over the call goes, is part of the united states, hoppey and a lot for us to be of on which comes in 12 different areas. one is stealing the uranium oil. this has nothing, no. the main policy here seems to be uh, you know, all pushing around back in multiple fronts. one is fair during the normalization of ties and enhancements of relations and cooperation would solve the radiant as both have stretched today. i mean, and yesterday they stressed, i mean pop uranian and some of the officials that they're looking for, for expanding ties in order to stabilize the regions and bring and restore up, you know, full security in the persian gulf. now the presence, the, the southern presence of 3000 us troops in the region means that they have
7:22 am
something in mind they want to initiate. actually, to run refrains from step in back and then they, they need, they want to disrupt lives that we use in the united states is known to be saving on crises. it's not like many of the countries and powers. it's completely different. once again, it seems to be the case, and this is the backyard of you want your, i mean, not step back in this situation. it is already proved that let's remember that uranium arrested 16 us marines just after the endorsement of j. c. p. o. 8. in 2015 and they are not shy of doing that again. the chief minister of the indian state of man and poor has made a call for peace and an exclusive interview with archie. that's after the northeastern region recently became engulfed and bloody ethnic classes where having a do these 2 times a week meeting, we'd be all the leisure assessor,

all the witnesses and all the officers. and though we're minutely examining the loopholes and we're trying to figure it out and it would be at our best 11. and the center also center leader is been kind enough the housing, those like anything. and i also want to up to my birthday, and this is the uh, 2 ladies or cookies or not legal here in the state. we live together on the misinformation and miscommunication. so be sorted out direct all by the discuss and introduction is very important. and the one more very important to sees the for given to forgiveness on velocity in terms of the community for the, for the future is interest. and so i, this might harness up with a lot of do
7:24 am
a see these, you know, money for i see digital media to have bringing peace in the state of money. the situation in the region remains turbulent, made ongoing tensions between local communities. the unrest has claimed the lives of more than 180 people leaving at least 300 wounded. since the violence erupted in may opposing communities have formed armed groups and clashed in various parts of the region. all the 10s of thousands had been forced to flee their homes. the states chief minister again shared his view on the situation as well as the media coverage of the crisis. it looks like i'm older, maybe is but some areas are here. they came down here in the color thing, the 34 paragraphs, stewart and publishing, 8 more cussing nice on a you know, the positive way that i appreciated there. but some mid yet,
7:25 am
i've seen the thing about the varieties and then then adverse to the heart accidentally happening in the hallway to happen in the heart is going on. but in few people's in on the person who owns the person who levels on the, you know, the motif behind is, person has ended up 5 at taking interviews and exaggerating the issues asians, the other. so that kind of things. i went to the goose to den piece. the live is very vicious, and one droning permission can lead to the last so many lives. so please don't split falls information and the falls, the book to devices. israel's finance ministers pledge to spend
7:26 am
$50000000.00 to integrate palestinians in east jerusalem into is really universities. that's after he had previously vowed to freeze the funding due to what he said was rising extremism within the institutions. unfortunately, in recent years, we have witness nationalist extremism. within the universities, the country's finance minister also said he would no longer allocate cash to the arab sector, claiming the money would go to criminal groups supporting terrorism. that funding had been promised under the previous government for infrastructure transport and fighting crime. the minister's decision provoked condemnation, not just from arabs, but also from the as really interior minister and national security advisor. meanwhile, the finance minister also intends to allocate $180000000.00 for settlement expansion and the occupied west bank. that money will reportedly come from cuts and
7:27 am
the budgets of other industries and the move has backed, has been backed by settlements by the settlements minister rather, and will be debated at an upcoming cabinet meeting. i'm here be sure right from the national committee of arab local councils. and israel believes the ministers move is aimed at weakening how the spending communities in israel cutting this funding from the local array be in the thirty's as an illegal step. this government started attempting to weaken the hi, a follow up committee and make it to legal, then attempting to make radian political policies illegal. and here we see a weakening of the heads of local authorities by cutting these funds from them. this is of course, a huge extortion. this is an attempt to weaken the palestinian community living and is ready to retrieve. i'm pretty sure that the finance minister smart fix the settler did what he did for racist reasons. are the same time. he said a 1000000000 shekels budget to enhance the sacraments recently and the ministry of
7:28 am
finance, and also kept budgets from local and raving authorities. also there are double standards, since the criminal's control is on the, on the governments tend is not the attendance of local a reading authorities. county doesn't cut any budgets from government ministries, but i need from local arabian authorities. this is of course, a very big motive. and indicator of this minister's racism and deepening and enhancing settlements while weakening the local or raving authorities. and the re being leadership are on this top diplomat has met with his saudi counterpart and a visit to re add as they marked the resurgence of relations between the former regional rivals. it follows the landmark deal brokerage by china earlier this year, and our tease use of jo ali has more on the main line. it was for minister jose, not the on to saudi arabia, essentially completed the recipe for a relationship between one and we all this every other we and has already been
7:29 am
added to the next. the embassies and consulates officially being in the solid foreign minister or we are paid at his ford visit us back the june when he met with the long run, ask questions and provide me crazy. so let me know strip to real me is that the 2 former or tried buried in a joint press conference on today with is a saudi counterpart. pretty space on the, on the issues between one and we all on the right track. yeah. and yet we believe that the idea of which even security and development in the region is an idea of it cannot be fragmented. we witness the day that the relations between the 2 countries are progressing in the right direction. we are sure that these meetings will help the unity of this land world for as far credit space all said that the kingdom hope to see it was president abraham racy visiting the following king, size and position, which he had communicated during the june visit to get upset today that would
7:30 am
travel so they can get to the top. the top diplomat engaged closely each way. security areas we had earlier said that they will launch enjoyed the comic chemistry the near future. we also have we do increase their gauge areas such as taurus. i'm trying to, lassie an air transport energy and environment. so let's see. so the old grievances have now given way to a promising friendship which deformed ministers believe that this will benefit nations and also help establish security, the tire we just looked at. a lot of that our meeting today is a continuation of steps taken towards implementing the agreement to resume 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 improve.
