hungry accuses the west of double standards for sticking peeve talks between armenian as or by john or prolonging the conflict. the new crane we discussed the topic with our panel of gap while we saw it in ukraine, because moscow was the target in, in baku, and azerbaijan. we're looking to the series for oil and, and other energy coming in from the caspian seas. so the trends, gustin twice lines and the very interesting studio strategy called what support and what the west thinks is not my problem. rwanda isn't president dismisses criticism for his plans to run for a 4th term. st. lawanda will control its own domestic affairs. the fly from moscow, this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble,

in the building of the armenian and cabinet of ministers is being blocked by protesters who presumed the raleigh and the country's capital. this morning. it's already resulted in 26, a russ send a temporary street closures by opposition activists overnight. local police detained 46 more people protesting against the government's recognition of the guard car box as part of as or by john. protestors accused the country's prime minister of treason calling on him to quit ortiz, it reminded customer of send us this report from the center of the protests. the processors that'd be pushed back. joining in right now, the

government building are shouting slogans. the traitor, referring to the police, have come down, but we'll be here to cover the rest of our team here of on our media. as the comedians make up most of the population of new garner par a block which for decades was disputed between azerbaijan and armenia. following a spike in violence in the region, it now belongs to bach, who under the cease fire agreement reached on wednesday. however, the reunification process is yet to be organized as the 1st talks between the

colonel car bach and as are by johnny representatives wrapped up on thursday with no concrete deal signs. these are by johnny side handed over its plan, and the parties have agreed to hold another meeting soon. the one issue of concern for armenians is the opening of the launch and cord, or a road connecting armenia and the garner car can still partially blocked by us or by john. so are pushing in. it says the relocation of local residence. armenia is not the main priority for your of on which and says set local authorities should ensure inhabitants can continue to live in their homes without fear. but soon, the republic of armenia was prepared to accept around 40000 families. but we don't want to talk about it quite cut off. i want to be very honest and clear. and because we think the domain names and the going to carry back should live in the homes on the land and decent and secure conditions almost seeing us today. my assessment is that there is no direct write to new going know carol, bucks civilian population. most people protesting and they are many and capital

fear, their compatriots won't be able to flannel garner car backend. it could be in danger . it can lend me 500. well, if i'm here with one demand chunk, it's open the cumulative in court doing a long i'm so the, our compared to it's can safely lever it's. uh, uh, if i know many people there who wants to leave it and they cannot implement, that's right. done with they are staying their cost of their own, their relatives and their children as like senior. if i'm not worried about these, we're not talks about force meetings for people who don't have any choices or alternative home. and i don't know how knowing if they will be able to maintain your position or didn't t. is there any possibility for people under blockade to keep their dignity an event to try to suggest something? well, during a un security council meeting, the russian deputy ambassador to the un said the outcome of the nego or no car box was pre determined, given the armenian prime minister statements on the regions status to european

counterparts. also adding the crisis coincided with the countries joint exercises with the us, the framework for the current barometer resolved in the corner. car box settlement was said by the recognition by official year of on in october 2022 in may, 2023 at summit's under the auspices of the european union. often to go in a car box as a part of the territory opposite. everybody's on at the same time in statements following the results of these e u summit, which year of on also signed the topics of the need to properly ensure the rights and security over the armenian population of car boss was unfortunately simply, i'm it said, let us know that the current discoloration in the going a car boss occurred the time when our menu was conducting joint exercises with the united states on its territory. as thereby john's foreign minister has brief to the un security council on bulk of the successes during its operation. and they're

going to car box r t correspond that caleb mountain has more now back who was represented by its foreign minister. and he showed photographs of military presence on azerbaijani territory and talked about the over 2000 land lines as well. here's what he said before, the council, the armed forces, sofas, everybody's young, lawyer, local, going, took the measures to the side of this illegal on formations. and can utilize that even in threats, posed to safety and security of otherwise, any civilian and military personnel. the content that i'm interested is limited and proportional to threat both to so we're going to into to integrity officer by john as well as safety and to being before with citizens. now the representative of our media focused on these humanitarian plight and civilians were caught up in the conflicts. here's what we heard before. the council, when hearing from the representative of armenia was then 10000 persons became, became forcibly displeased, including women and children and elderly,

who stay in the alternator without food. another means for subsistence thousands of families, it'd be separated. people are still starving due to the severe shortages of fluids imposed by the ongoing 10 months located by the russian deputy ambassador dmitri poll janski's spoke about the recent death of russian peacekeeping forces that were in the country. and besides that, any attempts to blame those peacekeeping force is where the conflict and the problems. there is completely unacceptable. cecilia, new jersey, fortunately, the russian peacekeepers have once again taking a blow while carrying out their duties. some of them were killed. dr. coming under fire with taking note of the readiness of the other by johnny side to conduct an immediate investigation into this tragedy, and bring those responsible to justice. despite the difficult situation, the russian peacekeeping contingent continues to fulfill its assign tasks and

everything possible to protect civilians that many other council members spoke with or the media and a common same was protecting civilians and humanitarian concerns about those who might get caught up in the fighting, furthermore, there was also an emphasis on respecting the territorial integrity of as or by john, which is a un member state. caleb mauppin, archie new york. so meanwhile, the hon. gary on foreign ministry has highlighted the strikingly different western narratives on the complex in the corner car box and ukraine, brussels america, and the whole international community demand a ceasefire and negotiations on the clashes in the gore know, care of back. only hungary demands the same regarding the russian ukraine war. how is that going? let there be peace and ukraine to western officials took the diplomatic route and then the garner car box complex calling for peace tasks and the ceasefire. another

stark difference in the 2 approaches is the harshest sanctions immediately imposed on moscow. well, e officials are only now considering the possibility of sanctions on bosses. us assistant secretary of defense, mark harlan as even gone further confirming the us has turned dufrane into a laboratory for military innovation, like washington's previous words in iraq and afghanistan. saw this when our forces were in iraq and i've gotten assigned just how much innovation was happening because they weren't able to take certain things, put them on the battlefield, and figure out how to make certain shifts and then apply them. and that, that kind of cycle is, is so critical. so obviously ukraine is a laboratory of learning for military innovation. earlier, my colleague nikki aaron spoke to a panel of guests who said the west has interest in both armenia and those are by john, which included the energy sector. and that is why they were in favor of peace talks between the countries. we saw it in ukraine because moscow was the target in the

case of um, in the case of, uh, armenia and azerbaijan, at least from the united states point of view. and i'm, i'm sure the you, the west is very friendly with, with both countries of us who has interest with our media. after all, we have a huge this for ya here in, in the united states of armenians and, and, and in, in baku and azerbaijan, we're looking to, uh, to the series for oil and, and other energy coming there from the caspian seas. so this is a dilemma, so there's going to be talk of a peaceful, a calls for a peaceful talk and, and that, but you can be sure that the us, once the war and its way into our media, this is a potential powder keg that will just coincide with the regional tensions that we're now seeing as a result in ukraine. western officials, but a very vocal about paste talks between non media and as a by john while only

a few officials quote for negotiations between moscow in k a. why is that? what i leave here now, another by john is that there is this travis gasp and pipeline which is the main factor for, for the movements. and i saw a very concentrated, very sophisticated geo political events going on when the so auditory separation started the trans caspian pipeline using the very interest things to deal strategy co hotspots, because it's fave or all the main players including european union. and that's also so is that what i see the main factor, why the why the waste was willing to seek the fees for solutions, but they were not calling the shots the or the west at this moment to put not face a 2nd uh front of uh, facilities are in the east and they came out to very strongly

for a cease fire for peace and all that. now if we did not have the ukrainian prices, i very much doubt that they, that they would have come out in such a strong way for a piece as i did as, as they did now. they could not afford at this moment to have a 2nd front on, on the east. that's, that's, that is what i think the western opinions are not my problem. that is the answer around those rwanda's incumbent president gave to a french magazine. when asked how to comment on one as to comments on how the west might respond to his decisions run for a 4th term next year. i'm sorry for the last, but what the less things is not my problem. people are supposed to be in dependence and should be allowed to organize themselves as they wish. i am happy with the

confidence that the one does have shown in me. i will always show them as much when i can. yes, i am indeed a candidate constitutional amendments allows me to run for 2 more terms of 5 years each potentially staying in power until 2034 because of how many has been considered the countries. the fact though, later since the end of the civil war and 1994 winning 3 presidential elections since then was overwhelming and support. meanwhile, in a recent report, the us space to watch dog freedom house. it criticized for wanda is government policy noting that the president is not freely elected. the government policies largely said and implemented by the executive branch with the security and intelligence services playing a ball for roll and the president is not freely elected. they're wanting patrick from party, has ruled one without interruption, since 1994 banning and pressing any opposition group. this would bound to serious

challenge to its leadership. we discussed to the 2024 rolanda elections with africa analyst, albert wood, that cembura. he says people are happy under the coming government and aren't concerned with what the west thinks, elections in the country. it is routine, the people of the country. so whatever, even people of other kind of mars or jupiter, think about what's happening on the, on this plan it's, i mean it's, it's ridiculous. i mean, yeah, because if you say what the west sinks, it might be that inc price that we are suppose to, to, to, to report to the west. i mean, what, what is and being independent to the run that was never come. let me, by the way, it's one of those 2 countries on the, on the continent, maybe with a joke and brandy. so we wouldn't never called on the so why would we be economy

today? what ever we see progress in, in, in everything, whether it's infrastructure education system. busy was the creation, everything, people a very much aware that it's thoughts of really due to the move free, what is 1st term. so you have a story needs. so after one term, a 2nd term that we only see progress and we sleep at night, we have secure it is the good news for one that that's for the means for when i run, that feels good that she didn't see a bye bye. i'm gone because it would, it would definitely, uh, something a time that people would feel not very comfortable because they have seen the difference. anyone, peacekeepers must leave the country as soon as possible. those are the words of the president of the democratic republic of congo at the un general assembly. he

ordered his government to oversee their withdrawal, which is set to take place by the end of this year. he lives on the proving. it is deplorable that the peacekeeping nation deployed in one form or another for 25 years. and the democratic republic of congo has failed to cope with the rebellions and conflicts which had saving the part, the democratic republic of congo, and the great lakes region, or to protect your civilian population. like celebration of the withdrawal from the new scope is becoming an imperative necessity. the east entering between the new school and our fellow citizens. the 17000 strong un peacekeeping mission to the r congo called the new sco has been present in the country since 1999 last year. a series of protest erupt it against the presence of the contingent, which saw at least 50 protesters killed. people blamed the mission for failing to secure peace in the region and even escalating the complex for the benefit of western countries, such as france, french presidents, a manual micron dismissal,

the accusations, blaming the congo these people for the conflict in their country. since 1994 and it's not fonts as fault, i'm sorry to say it and such blunt terms, you have not been able to restore the silver anti neither military, no security, nor administrative of your country. this is also a reality. we must not look for culprits outside this affair. as always spoke to several tongue, the least people who shared their wish for you and peacekeepers to leave the country. and to be honest, we are just waiting from the news go to leave our country completely. they came to restore place an order, but they have totally failed and must go must completely go. people don't have super tool with them and oscar, and that is why everyone is saying they must leave a country. and i personally feel like they should leave immediately. so that we shall have peace and be in a better position to work independently. mano scope as an enemy to us. for now we don't have any other alternative. and we're just insisting that the un forces team

out of our land a 3 day sit rally organized by supporters of pakistan's main opposition party is underway in the pakistani city of lahore. after starting on thursday earlier, demonstrators held a 3 day protest in peshawar. the protesters are demanding a review of the country's agreement with the international monetary fund, also calling for a cut in electricity charges and fuel prices. we got more details from the grand, the head of the main guy due to high inflation. people in pakistan are facing a difficult situation these days. in this perspective, yamato swami has announced country wide rallies and sit in protests. today. it is in front of a governor house in lower. you can see a large number of protesters in the background there chatting slogans and demanding a relief in the currents inflation. people here say the previous and current government's following the strict conditions imposed by the i m. f. have raised prices on fuel and electricity, which has

a large impact on the prices of other items. so the poor cannot survive jamal a slimy leaders say that if the government doesn't review the prices, these protests will spread. and a final call will be made to the capital slum about the another data the time has come. now these people will rice and then your offices, residences, and vehicles. you have made the lives miserable people can breed and you almost slaughter him down with your tag. a, how can they leave with this inflation? the motor motor to the lead class of this country has not left anything to eat for the poor. they have sold out like countries with a wheel carpet and go sold everything to the foreign companies and gone abroad. they have taken full assets with the con, the $500.00 leak families of the country have controls 80 to 90 percent of our resources. we need accountability of these 500 families slides. the money must be spent on pool people they jane has

a choose the us of hockey and the servers of that chinese and national tech giant hallway and conducting cyber attacks that goes to the country for more than a decade. in 2009, the office of tailored access operations started to infiltrate, serve as a qual, weighs headquarters, and continued conducting such surveillance operations. the u. s. had obtained control of a tens of thousands of devices and stolen the substantial amount of high value data page. and also i q is washington of having influential tech companies. and so. busy so called backdoor software applications, used to steal vital data from china, russia, and other countries. this comes almost a decade after edward snowden to revelations about us cyber espionage. they doing has pointed the finger at the us national security agency saying that found american spyware was used in a cyber attack on a chinese university last year. washington has not yet responded to the allegations

. we spoke to independent political analyst john pang, who says the cyber attack was carried out by the us as part of a high bred war, confirming. so there is revelations about the attitude toward laws in the country visa tax part of a, a. hi brittany rule that the lawless war state is waging um, exactly the kind of state that snowden, edward snowden, wanda's west, was coming to be in the united states. so it's, it's, it's part of that, that approach, not just a china, not just the russia with a friend or full anyone that standing the path. so they involve a tax on cultural, political, and information space on the economy on energy for public health. so the best defense against this has to be systemic and echo system wide. but this has been provided all squared by the binding administration, which forced the chinese information technology to,

to begin to the couple from us technology and u. s. company, which turned out to be literal victors willingly on not of the us security states. the us has established a new advisory group and the homeland security department made up of top experts to help tackle foreign and domestic threats. some of the groups members chosen by the biden administration or those that linked to white washing the hunter, by then case, and disseminating this information about russia. ortiz, that rachel blevins has more on the story. the united states department of homeland security is creating its own homeland intelligence experts group when it comes to the more than their doesn't special individuals who were chosen. we 3 stand out for the recent work trying to discredit the inter ms hunter binding laptop story. the so called spice of light pharmacy, a direct to john brennan form and national intelligence director, james clapper,

and former c, a senior operations officer pulled, colby will sub on the department of homeland security. he's recently announced homeland intelligence experts, group panel. so what else do we know about these 3 spots who were chosen as experts by homeland security, other than the fact that they are willing to use their title to lie to the public? well, let's start with john brennan. he became the director of the c. i a, under the obama administration in 2013, he was heavily involved in us policy and ukraine, making a trip to key a in 2014, to establish intelligent sharing in the aftermath of the us back crew. brian, it went on to be at the center of russia gate so much so. so when his hand written notes from the meeting with obama had of the 2016 election were later declassified, it was revealed that he breached the president on hillary clinton's plan to ty donald trump, to russia, as a means of distracting the public from the former secretary of state's

e mail scandal. an exchange discussing the us presidential candidates hillary clinton's approval of a plan concerning us presidential candidates. donald trump and russian hackers hamper and us selections as a means of distracting the public from here use of a private e mail server. john brennan now spends his days working as a national security analyst for nbc news and m s and b c. then there's james clapper, he was confirmed this director of national intelligence in 2010, also under the obama administration clapper was also at the center of russia gate. and in 2017, he tried to compare it to the watergate scandal that brought down the nixon administration. i looked through uh, water data i was uh on active duty then uh, air force, the officer and um, it was, uh, it was a scary time. you'll compare the 2 that watergate pails

really in my view as a compared to what we're, we're confronting now. however, special council robert molar went onto declared that there was no proof of collusion between trump and russia in 2019 clapper was also mentioned in the 2018 house intelligence committee report, which suggested that he which information from equipment funded still basi 8 to cnn . while an office, notably james cropper, then went on to work as a national security analyst for cnn. then there's paul colby, he's largely kept a low profile compared to his peers, but his 25 year career with the c, i a included work in russia. and when he does speak out, it's often about what he sees is the inner workings of russia. however, his predictions are always the most accurate take. for example, this one published on february 23rd 2022. there is no threat from nato against russia. ukraine certainly poses no threat if

a full scale or words or breakout and ukraine. i think, well, there would be an initial patriotic search to support troops in action once the true cost of that, in terms of casualties. and what it means for russia, for the next decades, could mean the beginning of the end for putin. so what can we expect from this group of homeland intelligence experts? well, the planets for them to meet at least 4 times a year to discuss a wide range of ongoing national security concerns that include terrorism and emerging technology. as for what power these experts will have over determining us policy that still remains to be seen. and homeland security has recently been busy finding threats to the us with a humorous date for a k. i generated clip by archie, mocking western sanctions making it into washington's latest threat assessment report. the report states that russian agents have influence up again using new artificial intelligence attack and their activities. first,
