8:03 am
the supply of leave for weapons continues to flow to kids. denmark's top diplomat says the us as given the green light for deliveries of f. 16 fighter jets to crane from denmark and the netherlands after pilots training is completed. the training is due to start this month. however, the danish defense minister says the program will not bear fruit until next year. in new york, the un security council convenience to discuss issues around the flow of weapons to ukraine. russia's deputy envoy claims that keeps western backers had pushed it into a failed counter offensive resulting in the loss of countless ukrainian civilian soldiers. rather, archie's caleb mauppin was following the session. the you and the high representative for disarmament affairs open the meeting, who was talking about how the low of weapons by both sides is not leading to de escalate. it is putting more lives at risk after that. we heard from an american
8:04 am
journalist to describe the us military industrial complex and the profit making entities driving the con. i'm here to as 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, and economic insecurity. 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,
8:05 am
or dimitri pole gantski. and he spoke before the security council talking about how this counter offensive and that has been so hailed has essentially made no progress on the part of new crane. and he called it essentially suicide on the subject. brands are being forced to move in a very suicidal direction as to be, hast of washington. here's what was said by the russian deputy ambassador. what's up to you and you're through me so, so 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
8:06 am
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, 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 horses that 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
8:07 am
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. but the russian president has also waited on the issue of sending weapons to ukraine, claiming your european citizens are exhausted by the conflict on their politicians continued to execute commands from washington in an interview to re ukrainian journalist, alexander lucas franco, also mould about when the fighting will come to an end. i am is up in the western europe. the gym is the fringe of the is accept the bridge, you shift coast. they are under america. they don't need this war anymore. and they told people say that the war is not in america, but in l houses, the war must be ended, the europeans, absolutely ready for this. the so far they're executing come ons, like give 15 leopards. but your opinions are reluctant to give military equipment. you see, but the french and the american people,
8:08 am
the dutch are reluctant to send weapons. so the west can no longer be called a single collective cement. they send the 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 against it because they feel the home of this and they want it's, the americans have profit taking 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, no pay, that will be no um supplies, so that will be the will of the card and why will the americans want to signal to the landscape? put them was still any point 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
8:09 am
frosted. they. busy they will need to give the signal sit down at the negotiating table at the right moment. echo was ready to intervene militarily initial air 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 with friday's tasks set to focus on a potential intervention plan. every tim, this is the, the, the forces of west africa, both the military and the civilian. when it's ready to onset, 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 was maybe saw today. yeah. see, why are you going to be mean in need of your muscle cereals? interest?
8:10 am
speak here, but there's more going to die with. it was that vision. the threats of military intervention started 3 weeks ago after a coo led to military leaders taking power. however, that hasn't been consensus on the use of force to restore the previous government kabul very day says it's unlikely to take part well gone on. nigeria are split on the issue elsewhere on the continent, algeria and chad have said they strongly oppose interference. while bertina faso and molly warrens that they would treat any intervention as a declaration of war. the african union responded saying it's fiercely against any move on the share wall and contrast. the central african block backs. echo also stands against the qu, government in the i'm a we gazed reaction in new chair to see how people feel about the situation. there . a video on the who did not give a demo validate cause because has been tailor made to the president's in power and
8:11 am
we did not need it whether eco wasn't convinced or not. so you guys ready for all options. we are ready, whatever eco was besides, we are ready. why do i ask god not to bring echo us? we lost more than 600 people killed by jo, hottest. i support the military and god perse. anyone who doesn't love new sure. can we believe that what is county going on? the nice shit is actually bigger than the saw hill regents. this is putting in question the democratic odor in west, the forget finding that for care as a whole, if we find today is to prevent these kinds of things happening and to ensure future for our continent initiative. i don't, jerry and so i was still waiting for the results of the costs meeting and neighbor and gone out of the situation in new year. 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 into 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,
8:12 am
what is more after the acting prime minister's visit to chart 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 com. the meanwhile, germany is given its backing to even the sanctions against the new military leaders and the chair. since the code 9 mays found itself under a blanket of sanctions from former western partners, as well as from its neighbors, and the echo watch group of the financial aid has been cuts while eco, los members. how old have also imposed travel restrictions? the blocks previously used sanctions against molly burkina faso in guinea, where military coups also took place. news producer joshua era joined us from gunner earlier, after, covering the echo last meeting. and he says that the event essentially resulted in the creation of plans for a military campaign on the apple watch,
8:13 am
as it were 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 tons. but if you want to can be gentle, political engagement, however, the resolve of back loss is actually to meet the military as well as the news. yet we're kind of aggressive for anything today. it's basically what one most security expense would describe as an military campaign plan. i bet you of been a member of that course. we also a member of the united nations on the united nation. so if we look at chapter 7, the all the united nations craft that actually gets a, it is, it is a ghastly useful for sleeping in resolving piece of what we usually do with suspend peacekeeping missions. and a bad troops on peacekeeping missions by march 20 gauge. the other one is,
8:14 am
i guess the piano across, i mean after today's the day and i spoke to quite a number of people and everyone seemed to be unhappy about that decision. of course, before a stand by for detroit, you would need the consent of the contribute test, which is the member states after the report that she would now be. and they will submit that to the mediation, of course, to be issued 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. a bank that unites the burke's group of rapidly growing economies has issued a new bond in south africa that's become one of the highest valued on the domestic market. the new development bank place the obligation in 3 and 5 year trenches in south africa's rand currency. the issue is part of a major effort to boost the method national economy, specifically by increasing trade turnover. and the bank has been strengthening its
8:15 am
presence on emerging markets around the world and encourages the use of local currencies. we heard from locals in south africa, who believe bricks is helping to unite the african continent. the brakes is a good move to unify africa to bring about the unified currency. and so we can boat africa and move it forward. i know in south africa we strive for going through, which is basically bringing people together and accepting everyone. so i feel like with the breaks that will bring everything together, which is breaks institutions because i feel as if they will benefit. but tenchi, i feel like and saw that like, hey, you know, is a power struggle. and so i feel like the brakes were jersey and power. i saw that because i know they kind of august, they kind of me. so with breaks, i feel like would be health best i was just seeing if i had the argument for,
8:16 am
for briggs versus waste is more about for african people specifically more. but where do you want your money really based to warranty, based in some type of interest or some kind of paper back to being that really has no value or in the role. and the materials that we are covering to sending uninvited people based on a day to day basis, i believe. and i think that the, the worst and people or the western community i as, as african. so the just want us to feel more in depth to them and be able to manipulate as we that advise us. we have them. once we have goals, we have less than we have things that they would actually benefit more from us when we think we are benefiting from them all the breaks grouping has also been discussing a unified currency across the block as it moves away from traditional dollar denominated trade breaks, which includes the economic power houses of china, russia and india has emerged as
8:17 am
a counterbalance to western in germany as it promotes a more multi polar world trade. a national currencies is endorsed by bricks, members, especially in view of the heavy sanctions that the u. s and other western powers have imposed on rival economies around the world. how many reasons? why do you use the? so that's a good financial marketing squad. liquidity needs a list of the easy diesel bonds in south africa. in fact, there's a significant capital all good. he's probably use some of the mostly put capital markets self only merging countries in the world. so it's on that point of view. it's easy to do that. you can use an established capital market a 2nd. the of course, it's much bigger. a good, quite often do you see both in your own currency simply because you don't run the exchange rate risk of for example, you could use your name dollars, you'd be issue dollars and you've got a 2 week and then you're running an exchange rate risk as well, and i think 50, yeah, i think of the biggest countries to the modem. i choose what they are going to see more know, especially when it comes to say, for example,
8:18 am
bones and everything comes to trade as well. so i think that could it be, that could be a number of reasons and the reason is all make sense to me because i think and economies are the growing decided i think and economies. but for the smallest of all the big countries. in fact, if you look at their native size of the various economies, one can argue that to that because you've been being bought of groups and you start off with this. so that's a good economy this year. it's probably not going to grow, grow very, very slowly. and it's going to be that to the indians or even to the chinese, and the chinese economy slowing down being fed. but still they are right much, much for us in the south african economy. and of course, the much, much bigger economy. so now i'm gonna try to, so that's a good economy. we are simply not putting a weight and also to vision in terms of gravity, certainly not from the global south to the north and more in between. the latest apparent missteps of u. s. foreign policy had been laid to bear in the new article by the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh. and taking us through this is our t shaped bones with a very insightful report. and if there's anyone who knows what's going on behind
8:19 am
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 save careers and reputations of the entire ukrainian misadventure look set to become afghanistan. 2 point oh, 1st 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 debacle. organized by jo buttons, national security advisor, jake sullivan. judges was sullivan's baby, the official side. just one more pop, but 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 the power, the limited, the appetite of the state department. i just paid her in chief victoria newland for
8:20 am
yet more trouble making. she's turned up in these you're looking to exploit the recent on rest there. but according to her source, she didn't exactly like the results she was hoping for. the 10 digits official puts her remarks to the times and american men of treat lingo. victoria newton set just saved the media, uranium owners from the bomb barrack russians and go to shoes single finger salute . of course, when we think about the us on his proxy war and 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. well, it seems, 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 all their business these days. maybe tony know something that the white house still refuses to accept secondary state, tony blinking way was he? i asked that question of the official who set the blankets this figured out that
8:21 am
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 a finds was not going to work. there was a shy, buys the landscape, but there was some in the administration who believed his book. so as the lensky regime runs out a road on friends, it seems we're heading into that pre collapse phase where a messages of ongoing support concealed an urgent scramble to justify failure and lay the blame. and that's the key. every shame look set to be thrown on to the boss by the us. it will be the ukranian 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 analyst larry johnson believes that if the us found itself in a financial downturn, there be a rapid re thinking of foreign policy. an economic crisis in the united states, i think, would bring the, the war to a pretty abrupt paul,
8:22 am
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 the 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, or they've placed all their bats on a losing horse. but us foreign policy, frankly, is in disarray. they are 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 apply it
8:23 am
a bit more pressure to russia that will cause the collapse of the russian political system and the collapse of the military of the show in china, or conducting joints, maritime patrols and the pacific ocean, as military cooperation between beijing and moscow continues to grow. the detachment of ships are operating in the east china sea with drills including absi refueling, anti submarine exercises and repelling a simulated enemy error rates, rescue training and protecting helicopter take offs. and landings from war ships were also part of the exercise. a stay on the navy naval topics. the pentagon is deploying more forces and to the waters of the persian gulf. the us defense department says it's 2 quotes, deter, rainy, and forces in the region. it comes and made a spat between the us and the ron not over the seizure of ships in the area, which is the gateway to the gold football mom and the arabic arabian sea home to
8:24 am
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 rainy and 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. we request that you work expeditiously to resolve the delay in transfer of seized oil from the suicide john and continue to enforce the law against foreign terrorist organizations, such as the i r g c. it is imperative that your administration 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. to run has warns that any u. s. companies that unload the oil from the tanker may face the consequences
8:25 am
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 to a senior foreign policy analyst who said that 3000 us troops in the persian gulf feed. the crisis between washington enter on the sad thing in seizing uranium over the call goes. is part of the united states hoppey of the war for beginnings to be of on which comes in 12 different areas. one that is stealing the uranium oil. this is nothing new. the main policy here seems to be uh, you know, of pushing around back in multiple products. one is fair during the normalization of ties and enhancements of relations and cooperation would solve your a, b as both have stressed today. i mean, and yesterday they stressed,
8:26 am
i mean pop uranian and so the officials that they're looking for, for expanding ties in order to stabilize the regions and bring and restore up, you know, for security in the persian gulf. now the presence, the, the southern presence of 3000 us troops in the region means that they have something in mind. they want to initiate action if they're on refrains from stepping back and then big they need, they want to disrupt lives that we, the united states is known to be saving on crises. it's not like so many other countries and powers. it's completely different. once again, it seems to be the case, and this is the backyard of you want to run me, not step back in this situation. it is already prove that. let's remember that uranium arrested 16. you was marines just after the endorsement of j. c. p. o. 8 in 2015,
8:27 am
and they are not shy of doing that again. the chief minister of the indian state of man a poor has made a call for peace and an exclusive interview to r t. that's after the northeastern region recently became engulfed and bloody ethnic classes. we're having a do these 2 times a week meeting. we'd be all the, let's discuss it, all the ministers and all the officers. and though we're minutely examining the loopholes and the we're trying to figure it out and it would be at our best level. and the center also center leader is been kind enough the housing, those like any things. and i also want to up the door my better, and this is the uh, 2 ladies or cookies or not. we will hearing this the we live together
