[000:00:00;00] the, the headline stories this, our par selectively demands its french artist and the kid to sever artistic links with 3 african countries following their brick away from the, from 2 centuries long, colonial legacy live reaction on the coming right up, the better to look at your own actions beller bruce's leader and box the west plains that north korea and may send troops to your train to fly. so long side was a lot of our put next who is this america's f offer. so you would put them in the very thing it uses deadly cluster bombs level through about me think the deli expresses concern over how that media on poll leasing,

say apple tree to that 26 year old indian woman who was run over and killed by a police car in gen 3 video since the surface of an officer. last thing i've heard that she is the pregnant for the $11000.26. anyway, she had limited one and series dad. it is now and accepted the reality. the president's and the post $911.00, you read the notes, hesitate to manipulate in, lie about even the most confident of the intelligence reports you've taken off feeds into their political intent. on new ball, michelle, revelation show us intelligence knew that syrian terrorist produced chemical weapons prior to the deadly attack on the good to back in 2013, an attack time. fairly plain

the to 5 pm. this friday here in moscow. wherever you are watching us from today, we hello and welcome to the our teams are a french artist union, so use the nation's government, has ordered them to hold to artistic collaborations with colleagues from but aquino facet molly, i'm major free african countries which have undergoing leadership changes and seceded from decades of friendship products. many members of seen jack this morning received the message from the regional director of youth of cultural affairs, drawn up on instructions from the ministry. if you're open for and the fast. this message with the spec, to intone, ask, solve members to suspense until further notice all cooperation with the following countries: molly, media and book in the fall, so we still told them concerning, recounts, so he's going through a very serious cry. see, sylvia said, it makes no sense from an artistic point of view and constitutes a major error from

a political point of view. it is quite the opposite. that should be done. this policy of banning the circulation of all taste and the works has never prevailed in any of the international prices. from the most recent with russia to the oldest and most last name with china. all for more or less for all us, live to power space star to contribute, or rachel mars that. hi there, rachel, not really in the spirit of artistic brotherhood. this is a take us through watts know and on, on what is behind such a restrictive well, whatever happened to this legendary french diplomacy they used to exist now as soon as they're unhappy with what's going on and out for guys resolves with their interest, be impacted negatively by on a cruise happening in the health, they start just throwing all their toys other the, from like a toddler. so the letter is from the french union of artistic and cultural enterprises sunday act. and there are associating with other artists,

an entertainer unions to demand an urgent meeting with the french ministry of foreign affairs about what's effectively a ban on african artist in france. already festival organizers, some of whom depend very heavily on african programming or direction, have strongly denounced the bands saying that they feel like their work is being held hostage to politics. it's kind of like when europe and the west started canceling, everything rushing last year because of the ukraine conflict. artist athletes show dogs and even bucket. they sounded remotely, russian, but was actually not. or when the band and censored russian media platforms for anyone who figured that it was just going to stop there. well, now it looks like africans are the new russians, at least for the french government in the wake of being dropped, kicked out of this the hell region by the new management of various countries. after several french stabilization missions were such a resounding success with accommodated inc. cruise. so now they're just going to

ban artists from these countries and i've reached out to some organizations of artists and entertainers impacted by this move. and they've confirmed the earlier this week. they received an email from the french government, general director x for cultural affairs, which was sent to performing arts organizations across the country and copied to the french ministry of culture. now this french government department said that their note that they were writing was be written quote on instructions from the ministry of 4 and, and european affairs. so like blink twice if you're ok guys. sounds kind of like a hostage situation or writing it a gun point, the e mail orders that french artistic organizations quote, suspended until further notice all cooperation with the following countries. molly, visa and 14, if also, you know, keep in mind that the artistic activities that receive this email are subsidized by the government that's ordering them to, to do that. so they're caught between a rock and

a hard place. and the email was on to say that there cannot be any further cooperation with or financial support of any institutions or nationals of the listed african countries. and that as of now, france will not be issuing any visas to nashville. as of these countries until further notice now, since all this is just completely blown up in the french press and the last few hours, the ministry of culture has issued a statement. no, the programming of faulty. so finding nationality whatsoever has been requested either by the ministry or for the fast or the minister of culture for security reasons, since the 7th of august fronts has suspended the issue. and so these us from the i'm a will go to go and buy my code as well as the implementation and discounts for use of all cultural acculturation actions. now the spokeswoman for the entertainers union sunday act told me that is one thing

to now claim that the programming is maintained and not canceled. but the reality is that many of these i'll have an artist don't have reasons to come to front. so i guess the government expects programs and performances to go on without the physical presence of the artists involved. the artist unions was a meeting with the government to explain these realities to them to spell it out for them. i guess like a toddler can't have a play without the people on the stage brainiacs, if any bureaucrats are going to be capable of grasping that concept, you think that the culture ministry that wrote, that response would have figured that out. that's something that you'd maybe expect from the big brands that foreign affairs, but not culture come on. this sunday. i communion also in this letter to the french government, touched on the more general and counter productive trend of politicizing. things that should not be politicized, adding that quote, this policy of banning the circulation of artists and their works has never

prevailed in any other international prices from the most recent, with russia to the oldest and longest lasting with china. so all this is far, far from result and certainly to be continued. yeah, thanks very much for bringing us through. busy but it's hard to kind of get our rachel martin live from parts over 11000 people have lost their lives in flood, ravished b. a. according to the red crescent, a grip, however, of the extent of the devastation is uncovered. officials war and the grim toll may almost double the storm rich. how can various serve as an eastern libya, notably the ton of some set. recent footage from the area reveals a mass so destroyed buildings and infrastructure. we spoke to a sub by further who described his experience. the plot wave surprised us and took us quickly. the situation was sold dia that we couldn't even make it to

all costs. we found ourselves post on the roof of our house. those who lived in the costs during the torrents, god has taken those lives and we pray for me mostly for them. the only thing i know for sure is that a lot of people still unaccounted full, including taurus in the morning and security services immediately took action and long search and rescue efforts or following torrential rains caused by hurricane daniel to dumbs burst op stream from the city of during the on monday as a result, entire neighborhoods, bridges and roads where washed away with 5 of the notes you may find the following will be mentioned as upsetting. a dozens of buildings dropped off and blankets of being seen on the streets. the head of a must burial rescue. teams, including those from abroad, are still searching for victims under the rubble, the distress has unified the country citizens. but in fighting between political functions has complicated logistics. local residents in journal, shared with us their stories, the kind of, well,

all the families were asleep at home and unexpected floods swept through the city and completely submerged the area. i remember the water reaching the height of approximately 10 meters and this were possibly 11. how many humans got the city submergence on the day of the disaster can be attributed to the dams failure? just hours before the floods came, the situation seemed manageable as local authorities were able to keep the flooding under control. however, the dams rupture caused a huge problem and resulted in flooding, which killed many people. it's a tragedy. she military and assistance from around the world has been arriving in the thing to his russian aid with cargo, touching don in the country via or transport among others, providing help or kits or took the, the u a and some european countries also want to bring you some hard heading remarks from the head of the u. n. agency. the chief of the world to meet you are a logical organization,

saves the aftermath of the flooding. wouldn't have taken so many lives if systems in government had work doesn't tend with better functioning coordination in the crisis racked country. they could have issued a warning and the emergency management authorities would have been able to carry out evacuation of the people. and we could have avoided most of the human casualties since the security situation in the country is so difficult. it's difficult to go there and improve the situation. let's flash that i because that's the so called security situation has played libya since 2011. when nature forces intervened in the country to take our market, duffy, who had led the nation for decades, the events resulted in the north african states. this integration, which is not being governed by 2 opposing forces, or we spoke with guess about the political situation in tripoli and how that has affected the response to the natural business. i don't know,

i was protected by the strain of dams, 2 main ones. the last time these dams were maintained was in 2002. and they were due to their major maintenance and 2012, of course in 2011 v o. as in david and no maintenance was bought, i'm in 2012 and nothing was done last year. 2020 to the administrator for war. tardies or service allocated 30376000000. libya and denies which is a substantial amount of money to do the worth of projects in the east of the country. but this money was i never received because of the nature of the competing governments. i'm competing the executive buddies or they were mismanaged. all of this is because libya, a stable, well developed, a country was destroyed, its army destroyed governments and institutions. universities. i know 12 and

a half years later, but the country is still suffering. the reason if this is poor, sure. a c and negligence and complete corruption. it is the corruption of the system and the creed of some of the people in charge is the reason for the dams not being well maintained. these fragile dams have not been maintained for decades, and they were not prepared for what came. it was not an actual disaster is as it is, is not as negligence. it's not a natural disaster as much as it's nicholson's conference of the russian and bell russian leaders and by lawful development has not concluded in the black. see ports of the office for cheap, with global politics on the table, let them are put in stress. the united states is indifferent to following the norms

that it sets for others. there's one country that believes this exceptional, this is the usa, even what she considers a crime, she allows herself to do it, is the united states that use this cluster munitions. in this case, simply through the ukrainian army, they consider this a crime, but they allow themselves to do it. this is precisely the main problem of today's international relations. and therefore, the over whelming majority of participants in international communication are fighting with us to create a multi polar world. the situation suits almost no one because even those countries that are allies of the united states, they also don't like the situation. let's speak to r t correspond marina cost forever on the renal always tends to be some use where the lines, when the 2 nation's leaders meet at what's come out of the latest high level of face to face a yes, cnn, especially when it's the su, well,

this is actually the 7 to meet in between. that's the present and so for this year and of course the couldn't help but a bypass the west double standards as they see it. because as we know, the, by the end of the ministration is close to approving some more supplies of cluster munitions to ukraine. so this is something that the couldn't help but discuss again how the west sees itself, of course as the leader of the, of this planet and washington even. and once again, said recently, as we know that it takes 2 to tango when it comes to a resolution in ukraine. well, the latest commented on that i'm lighting recruitment so that actually the united states doesn't know how to tango, and there's always resorts. and so convincing or bullying all the nations either by force. so whether it's sanctions or by military means, as we know and for its parts. russia so that it's ready to, to discuss and negotiate with the print. but it's the other side that is not ready . and let them are approved and urge the ukrainian lead or not to dance to someone

else's team. so that was that when it comes to ukraine, they also discussed the recent visit by the north korean leader to russia's for east of visit that the west, of course, so as a provocation will touch more on that. but so i looked on the look of cycle said that he and vision is a future where the 3 countries, north korea bellows and russia could have a try. lateral corporation vladimir puts in said that he seeks to deepen relations with young young, of course, not violating any international restrictions. and then both leaders address the reason. rumors that we saw by mainstream media in the west that supposedly russia is actually asking or even begging sometimes for korea in flight or from a north korea. and this is what both of them have to say regarding that of the ship . that's the worst, the west should count. how many of its own mercenaries have been deployed? and ukraine? people from a variety of races are fighting on the ukrainian side. so what right do they have

to accuse russia based on rumors of inviting foreigners to fight? these are some dangerous statements coming from the west meant their dreams, the stationing military contingents in ukraine of poland for one has already placed itself near the border and is ready to enter ukraine before pointing the finger at others. they should look at themselves. in the west, there was a narrative rush. i wasn't nearly begging north korea to send its volunteers to fight in special. no true peroration. what can you say about this? so the truthful, i want to say that this is complete nonsense. i said a couple of days ago that our soldiers signed contracts with the armed forces at the russian federation, 270000. but this data is already outdated. this morning they reported 300000 contracts were signed by people who are ready to sacrifice their lives in the interest of their mother land, defending the interest of russia, alexander lucas sancho. that also added that the west basically sleeps in dreams of habit. it's a regular military units in ukraine and is basically, as they will,

like the king, all of the jungle with total disregard for any although countries. then of course, the continued discussing each other's economies. they said that everything is stable and reliable in russia and in bella, roost. and the both countries will return to the grow that they had before the sanctions. and that the russian army is fully equipped, that the military operation is going as planned and that they will not allow the vice to continue forcing everyone to play by it. so rules and there. so you can to continue expanding this multi paula world and with other partnerships, taking us through the put and look a shrink at me thing this friday ortiz marina customer of i think when india is quote, deeply troubles over the way us law enforcement and media handle the death of a young indian women crushed by a police car in seattle last january. the recent reports include an immediate, well, the handling of mason, john avi,

can do us down to enroll the accident in seattle. in january, a deeply troubling we have taken out the match as strongly with local authorities in seattle and washington state as well as senior officials in washington, dc. 23 or who would go to john. he was crashed by se the police patrol car when he was crossing the road in seattle in the us. and this particular incident, the accident and hard subsequent death. each month after it actually happened has now stopped me to control the c not or was the accident alone much because of a body town we deal that has now sophia, so the police officer, basically laughing vindictively on her death and basically saying that a life had limited while you on that it can be saved. but she is

a no, it's a regular person. yeah, just what? $11000.00. she was 26. anyway. she had limited 1000000 india outrage. this. we'll just see this deep sleep suddenly. incident has now drawn condemnation, not just from india, c e, as in bows, adult to with us bought from people across the was the by the administration has now stepped in. they have the problem is swift and co investigation into the factory your is that the us is quick to that to india. to me it has a pattern of doing that. in fact, they recently, when us president joe biden had some down to india for the g 20 summit. the new denny will stay over the weekend on lines. and then the september, joe biden expressed his send songs for rides, violations,

or at least once you receive this human rights violations in india, to indian prime minister. and that things are moving. never mind what's happening in his own backyard. this placement by us administration of the indians. if this is not racism, if this is all discrimination, if this is not human rights, why nice? then what is less cross live now to india is former console general to new york from who day out. mr. diaz. thank you for your time today. any dest from an accident such as this, it is, is a tragedy. it's her risk sick. but then, for the young lady's family, to hear the reaction from police officers, as we just heard, that's something else entirely, isn't it? well, 1st of all,

thanks for having be on your shatter. disney said this incident mix be sent to my stuff because it reeks offer release the i think it must be condemned. the strongest dogs. as you said, your introductory remarks. india has scarred what a rule they the dispatcher. oh the really sad to see. oh, why lives at risk is the other 2 police has begun. it is still slides and really to be as lived. you don't have much trouble with the police watch if you did that wrong. you want to do it. so as you mentioned in your book is when we are loading it did done. was due in seattle by a police officer why he was driving is very good at 70 miles or not in an area where he was not supposed to exceed 25 miles. no,

the sad part is that the video is that much sleep on the police office now, so you can get the students there and does, he can be load thing she did before putting all into last. so i'm calling on a regular possibility for those days off the last big bull for the bus, the pieces. yeah, you're right of j. a live and positive daughter. does she have limited bad? all these re box? i'll spell that wrong. tragic and i mostly did. did it does the strongest days in american community? it has demo strongly does that, but i just got to them that of course the indian media. yeah, is writing a voltage in d dead as everyone is shop. there are 5 of the incident. so we hope the united states dates i should, although it may take some time. i think this is

a didn't type of did john really? yeah, i think tom can i just expand on that because that's a very important point, isn't it? i'd like to for the family of to know if he can do like they had to at 1st of all wait for this initial investigation following her tragic death in january. i know it's come out more than half a year later that a further investigation is going to be needed. that's incredibly difficult for, for this young woman's at family to wait for some kind of closure. isn't that the way some book i read the newspaper was the family off the skin is actually no key there was do i was do you have lost it to your daughter? and then to come across this video, which is a very slow one instead of it,

she doesn't matter to the way she has limited revenue or that they offer $11000.00 . they shows that the american police in seattle just don't be boxes. i'm really shocked by this, sir, if you just keep on the line because we're coming to to the end of our news, our. but i'd like to keep the conversation going offer. if you just stay with us for a moment, we'll, we'll talk a little bit more. but thank you so much for your time. live on artsy, not in the as former console general to new york prop who dial. i'm not new revelations by appeal at your prize winning journalist seymour her suggest that us presidents disregard intelligence reports if they don't fit the north one answer is that it is now and accepted the reality that presidents in the post 911 era don't hesitate to manipulate in lie about even the most competent of the

intelligence reports. if they do not fit into their political agenda. we'll see more hers went on to reveal, let us intelligence was aware that syrian terrace where producing chemical weapons in 2013. however, washington withheld to, instead of choosing damascus of carrying i to a deadly chemical attack in the good to suburbs, you may remember the reaction to that archie correspond to shape always picks up the story from there. if anyone knows what's going on behind the scenes in washington, it's veteran award winning journalist seymour hersh. and his latest work is shedding light on the la carte attitude of american senior politicians to intelligence. if it fits the narrative, it's relevant. if it doesn't, it's ignored. and that certainly seems to have been the case back in 2013 in syria when a brutal chemical weapons attack was carried out against the civilian population. of course, the selective treatment of intel is nothing new, according to hersh back in 2013 a u. s. military intelligence support into our kite affiliate. i'll news

a front chemical weapons capacity was intentionally concealed, as it would have interfered with the ongoing regime change operations syria. once again, the welfare of the ordinary people came a poor 2nd to the necessity of the celia emission to overthrow the government of busher a side del mr. fonts associated. so in production cell is the most advanced, so implored sense. ok. either pre 911. that for it, arrests in the rock into the have disrupted the cells operations. however, we assessed the intent to produce it valence chemical weapons remains previous intelligence. community focus has been almost entirely on serial chemical weapons stockpiles. now we see all those for a front attempting to make it so in chemical weapon. purchase article is quite clear that despite being warned by a senior military official, that the chemicals use didn't match syria and chemicals. president brock obama instantly inconveniently blamed the syrian government for the attack. no one

disputes the chemical weapons were used in syria. moreover, we know the aside regime was responsible in the days leading up to august 21st. we know that besides chemical weapons, personnel prepared for an attack near an area where they mix certain. yes, this remarkable, selective blindness. when it comes to burying inconvenient intelligence in favor of more narrative friendly information, was put to one of the sources for his insightful article. and the response was telling, as it is shocking the da's assessments as i have reported. now the intelligence of choice inside the white house. so the question remains, why the to the intelligence not get to the white house? i put that to a senior intelligence official after shaving the paper with him. he's on so it was that it wasn't obvious, hold petite, and it was ignored for political expediency. just as much of the sea ice country boarding going to fail ukraine offensive, has been ignored. by blinking and all the forwarding, bullets,

officials tend to bite in administrative sion. and of course, despite the obvious failure of the ukrainian counter offensive, it seems the head in the sand approached the plains bottle field was, is being widely practiced by the very same white house officials who had such a central role in creating this bloody calamity. ultimately, that's really what's the heart of this and the reason that i remain very confident ukraine's ultimate success, which is that they're fighting for their country for their future, for their freedom. the russians are not. well, it's been said that the best predictor of future behavior is passed behavior. and it's so when the ukranian conflict ends, we can expect to see the true extent of us influenced and she of and if their track record in a rack, where they accepted flawed intelligence, as it suited their narrative and syria, where they ignored reliable evidence for the same reason or anything to go by, it will be a picture of a selective truth deployed to support the narrative rather than accepting the

reality that their proxy war against russia was probably doomed from day one. as something else to tell you a fight today, washington plans to withhold $85000000.00 in military a to egypt over a legit schuman rights issues. i'm a failure to oppose us conditions on freeing political prisoners. us some of it, chris murphy, by the way, wants to go way beyond that, urging the white house to withhold an additional $235000000.00 to the nation. activists are ready, early jailed for spreading false news about human rights violations over and over again. the government's playbook is just the same, shut down voices that are critical. busy of the government throw in jail, people who don't comply, administration rightly decided to withhold that 1st crunch $85000000.00 tied to the release of political prisoners because there's just no correction. there has not
