the, the ukraine, the military chief confirms a withdrawal of troops from the city of, of the, of the, of the month, to the 5th bottles for president the landscapes. what was your update? a bit to drum up full financing. put stuff here in the pool efforts. also coming up this year, julie, this is the neo colonial divide of the world into those who consider themselves exceptional. and the rest, those who are given the role of doing the will of god's chosen ones. rushes for a minister closed for an end to colonial dependency, and his speech at the pull the freedom of nations for him. and most of attended by hundreds of delegates from over 50 customers and us will thirty's clock down on an f b i. informant who relates to the fight and finally took $10000000.00 in pride
6:01 am
during business dealings in ukraine. the a very well welcome to you this saturday, the 17th of february. this is nancy international with the latest world news updates has f o, it's great to have you with us. our top story, this our, the commander in chief of ukraine's military has confirmed that his policies are retreat taken from the city of um to have gotten the don't. yes, with public based which he, jake location has seen months of woodland plus bottles with key of troops reported to have taken massive losses based on the operational situation around of day of go in order to avoid in circle mount and preserve the lives in house of service and then i decided to withdraw our units from the city and move the defense on more favorable lines. if true, this would be a major development on the front line b. i'm saying if true because the russian come on is yet to confirm that indeed
6:02 am
it's nemesis has retreated from the strategic point. but again, we have seen we have seen reports and we've talked to men on the ground to our sources on the ground. we have been saying that the fight to indeed has been relentless and if the ukrainian forces have decided to abandon of the day of cause, that would be a major development due to several reasons. first and foremost, it would be a 1st move of this calling on behalf of the ukrainian forces in over a year. in fact, we haven't seen anything of the sort since the withdrawal and pull out over the town of lisa johnston, village guns, republic, uh, back in 2022. now even the, the one of the most bloody is bottles of this conflict. the battle for the city of buck moved not almost, despite all the advice that the god from the nato allies, from please from mothers, sisters, and relatives, just families, friends of those who were there. on the bottom of the front line, they decided to hold the ground,
6:03 am
then even then they lost that town. so the decision to pull out of date because something that we haven't seen in quite a while. also at the same time, remember that of dave cut, use literally a the net sc sub to an unfamiliar person is an unfamiliar person. might not even notice that they already left the nets and ended up day of could. so that's a talent, it's very, very close to this major city. and that was often from where the nets civilians were show the and the so if the russian troops managed to push the ukrainian forces further away from of the events that would make the city of the next much safe. and it would be able to finally brief, a gulf of fresh air, so to speak, because cheap alternative re shells would be simple. the city would be simply out of range, would cheap all tillery shelves. also a big thing to look out for is where the frontline will uh,
6:04 am
basically stretch along which reduce a loan which uh, which uh, townsend village is because right now it is unclear where exactly view credit in forces prepared the full back positions. so again, it is, uh it's, we are yet to see if the russian troops will just be satisfied with taking the idea of the day of good town. because of the rule. there's plenty to be done that there has been k us in the ranks of the korean forces reported by themselves from leak videos. uh they lost uh, basically the last radio that was radio silence on the positions of many, many units. so many units could maybe they didn't get the come on to withdrawal. maybe they simply were to in circled or ready to pull out to do that safely. so of course there's a lot to be done to clear of, they've got of, uh, any presence of view create in forces. that is the task that seems to be in front of the rushing on forces right now. but again,
6:05 am
we'll have to see the russian combined will want to capitalize on this and we'll try to push and send ukrainian force is running and fleeing. further. ukraine's military has released this on verified footage. 6 plumes of smoke can be seen rising over what appears to be a major chemical factory in the of the, of the largest cook processing plants of its kind in europe. used to feel industrial furnace is form i. c, i, a analysts, laurie johnson, phase keeps troops have been outlined and done in the case busy. the 1st most important point is to have trained military personnel, the know how to operate a combined arms. what that means is that, say you're a soldier in the trench and, but you've got radio communication that you could call in air force the, you know, the air, air, air power trap plan to come in and carry out a strike. except ukraine doesn't have any aircraft to do that. now you can call for
6:06 am
a helicopter books. another problem you create doesn't have that. you can try to coordinate artillery, fire and take fire and mortar fire. and yes, ukraine's got very limited ammunition on that. but the problem, as well as in the west, the west can produce that. the west, the industrial capability of the west has been hollowed out. and they've shifted much of their ability to produce those kinds of harmons to other places overseas. so it's not a matter of flipping a switch and having the united states magically supply some $155.00 millimeter artillery route. so across the board, you're looking at ukraine with the pleaded manpower, chaotic leadership and not enough ammunition. you claims presidents who's being courted by his patrons at the ongoing munich security conference has defended the decision to retreat from of the but it's not them is landscapes claims are seeking to save lives that have been met with mockery from the russian foreign ministry.
6:07 am
the moment of the day, not sure who it is important to save our people. this is the most important task for us. if we take care of our people in our warriors, because this is protection and any weapon, we are grateful to all our partners. but any weapon, of course, helps restore justice and peace on the territory of ukraine. everyone knows that the military liberties, the territory. the military protects homes, protects people and families. therefore, the decision was correct and so as not to be in circles, the decision was made to retreats to other lines. and this does not mean that our troops move to, for some kilometers and russia took over something. it didn't grab anything, no more, hollis enough would you know, not because of this, but because a president and his gun know how to fight tony for big money, which go straight into that pockets and only against civilians. nothing else
6:08 am
matters to them. they munich, security conference has been dominated by the ukraine topic, with nato, his chief judge in washington to cough up more cash for kids. you repeat income and so has approved, unimportant due package of age to ukraine. and i expect the us to follow suit. this is vital, your friends president has been touring european capitals this week attempting to woo officials to keep funding the military conflicts. he's being hosted by his council, boston paris, whether to sign the biological security packed, the dual runs for decades, and includes $3000000000.00 euro and french aid for this year alone. by them is lensky has also, inc pay similar agreements in germany with fund and checking to provide more money and training for p. s. troops to me while us lawmakers remain as old. so as a proposed financial aid package for ukraine, republicans and democrats have failed to strike
6:09 am
a deal after months of talks. the white house wants to keep pumping more money to keith. and here's what the us vice president spoke in that regard at the security form in munich. make no mistake or has already been an actor failure for russia. ukraine has re gained more than half the territory russia occupied at the start of the conflict. thanks in part to a massive supply of american and european weapons. i apply the recent $54000000000.00 commitment be made to support you pray on top of the more than $100000000.00. are you are pan allies and partners have already dedicated international consultants and defense specialist l rasmussen. shad his perspective with us. he believes us little make us the ukraine as
6:10 am
a law schools and the shifting the financial burden to the ear. there's some divisions. i think some are a summer time saying repairs are realistic and they realize that this is the last cause and it's just putting the money in there. but i mean, a lot of them, there's some there are they actually vocalize? it's saying it's just, it's there to, we can rushing more just for long and as much as they can think there's going to be finger pointing back and forth. is one side, i'll say, uh, i'm in a bite and get us into this. why didn't we even in here, and then the by the side will what will say, ah, see, we can get the funding. because because of the republican, so they are play off today to their uh you know, their, their supporters in the background and the voting thing. i mean there's, there's ways to move around this incentive, but a temporary stop gap and, or something i'll see it's uh or to put pressure even to put pressure, additional pressure on the europeans to, to provide additional support on the but,
6:11 am
but yeah. see shifting the blame, and it's not surprising. i mean, a vitamin shifted to blame since it was a center, so it doesn't really surprise me at all. that that's what it's looking at, which a lot of politicians do, i mean that's what they do. that's the name of the game. and well, the us on his allies came, the world is united against an isolated russia. many countries in other parts of the globe back to this a are these africa bureau chief moose that abraham expands on that important detail . this year of the munich security conference faces may use a criticism on various fronts, mainly from global south africa and latin american. an asian perspective and imperialist critics argue that the munich security conference, pre domain and the features, voices from western countries, sidelining,
6:12 am
those from the global south limiting diversity of perspectives and neglecting security challenges such as conflict resolution in africa and the impacts of quit or yeah, legacy is the view, the munich security conference, as perpetuates in new going on. you had a power structures marginalizing african and latin american countries agency and giving priority only to security threats relevant to western interests, while overlooking pressing issues like poverty in equality and the rubbing of national resources on our critics. also, note that the conference often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes with limited global south one for one's on policy. and in sufficient attention to we could all make developments and they could not make
6:13 am
independence. critics also argue that the munich security conference, primarily, but as an elite policy makers excluding voices from civil society and marginalized communities inside june of itself. is it conceivable that the munich security conference with it's predominantly west and governmental and call report the composition would embrace since the critique from the global south it appeared as improper that an establishment routed and had gemini reed. i'm conflict with drug, denny. i acknowledge the necessity for abroad that inclusive at t o, the expansion of discussions to a compass, social economic consensus more over challenging the funds,
6:14 am
the money to structure both are global or the that sustains itself. on the subjugation of anti nations, particularly from africa and latin america, and denies them a secure and it quote supported, unbalanced position seems beyond the comprehension of such an imperialist neil colonialist security conference. this is most abraham reporting here for munich funds, the munich security conference, 2024th. meanwhile, the global south is increasingly coming together to resist western pressure. that was the message. imagine that the freedom of nations for him held taylor in moscow with officials for more than 50 nations taking part russian farm. and it's just like a lot of are off to the flow tools that condemn what he called the size fitting of results is by the us from here, a yoko, natalie,
6:15 am
julia. this is the neo colonial divide of the world into those who consider themselves exceptional in the rest. those who are given the role of doing the will of god's chosen ones. our choice in any situation is to negotiate in order to find a balance between the legitimate interests of the parties. and i emphasize precisely the legitimate interest boys, if their allies themselves prefer to continue their hopeless attempts to impose their ultimatums and the illusionary hope of holding onto the elusive instruments of neo colonial head. germany. that is their choice. russia is ready for that to neil colonialism. is a dead end pass. whoever follows it is doomed to turn on conflict. it is enough to look at the relations within the western camp itself were some neo colonial allies . theirs have already begun to devour others amid economic problems. the americans have all ready, openly started sucking resources out of europe. takes marina cause
6:16 am
a rep. uh, was that the for them to touch those tons, how nations are pricing going with independent policies, despite pressure from full colonial powers? as the name of the form suggests, gathered here are representatives of countries fulfilled on the west. neo colonial as practices are harming their home life. for the wes benefit, we are talking about africa, asia, lots in america, europe. there are literally up for 100 delegates from over 50 countries and they are here to figure out mechanisms and strategies to ensure that they no longer have to play by the west rules. they want to cut their dependence on the west, so they don't have to face punishment by them in case they don't agree with nearly but so continuing. wiggle room left in for
6:17 am
us is that you pleasure to be here in work. because the vision vision in the previous formation is the junior play, the very important role in the but asian, or you have to get 20 minutes grad invited by the united russia party to participate to this confidence. and we believe that the 5 decent you should see the easy line. we are more to we believe that same type, global black people raise up. let me define it, sees 3 den education. so it easy in line we neil calling and we say, i don't know the common protective se forum i see with these as a very important farm against the federal v as the last little situation because the world is unavailable for. if i'm changes,
6:18 am
i know i see that the world is far from being made. just says with the ram from new globalization, which can be expressed in the form for example and experience in this area in other countries. fans, you know, building and zoning approval. ok. the form started with medium advantage of taking those $5.00 to 1961. the one adopted a resolution grant and independence to colonial countries and peoples, 89 countries voted in favor of that resolution and 9 countries of stains. and among them, interestingly enough, france, of course, the west, the u. k. and australia will since and the west has continued its damage in practice as well as russia has helped the postcolonial countries to grow. i know that our country has done much to break down the foundations of the colonial system and to support national liberation movement. it has provided young independent
6:19 am
states with serious assistance in ensuring security, establishing the economy and solving acute social and humanitarian problems. and today, we are ready to unite our efforts in the struggle for true freedom and justice for progress, for all countries and peoples for the formation of a democratic multiple world order. clearly the country is represented here, feel rushed as support and they align themselves with rushes, vision of a multi polar world. and a lot has been side as well. about bricks, especially now is when all of that of the alliance is growing and expanding. and as we know and share of global g, d, p has overtaken the share of g, b, p of the g 7. and as we know, the more countries are about to joining the alliance, this is only going to make that share grow. and again, we know that developing countries, for example, their share and world freight is increasing suddenly whereas the share and world site of developed economies is diminishing. so this is definitely going to change
6:20 am
the dynamics in the world. and this is also something that's been brought up here again. so now they're working on making these mechanisms work so that they completely to lose their total dependence on the west. we wish just smart guns in digital movies, which is a conflicting unpaid, back surgeon to wear altogether as populous of dignified guns is worldwide. and by hand to each area agreement. i'm a do all the process together into fighting this native calling it colonialism with all its aspects came back it's politic on any comics of that part of this over into being fossil through this. one of them must be dependent vacation of amino dollars in order to drive the robust industrialization. the aim here is to build on that progress and to find ways to ensure that the west can no longer dictate its rules on anyone else or so that it doesn't have the power to punish and the country for
6:21 am
not going along with what the west swans for not playing along with its rules. and also what we're seeing here is the desire of these countries so that the west can never again bring any country to its knees. we uh, so much excited with the loans of this forum of parties to fight i gazed nero calling the other than we needed to do for new organization like this one. so that we can establish of our own tools that can then make us most free nations new via any country that wants to move forward, must be free and independent. and that is why there is a huge interest in this great conference today. i must say that it comes to adjust the right time when there is tremendous pressure on many countries. when you can really see the daily feeling of neo colonial is an ex involvement for the f. b,
6:22 am
i who investigated the binding family's business dealings in ukraine has been arrested by us so far sees alexander smell, and all has been charged with making quote, false claims that job bind in his son hunter accepted 10 $1000000.00 in bribes. republicans have been using the allegations to try and build a case for in paycheck. president bought them the defendant story to the f. b. i was a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise on remarkable business meetings and contacts that had actually occurred. but at a later date then he claimed, and for the purpose of pitching, prism on the defendant services and products not for discussing bribes to public official one. when he was an office, well we have the case of alexander smearing out, and this is an individual that according to special counsel, david weiss, he's now being indicted for making a false statement and creating a false and stick tissues record i could face up to 25 years in prison, essentially for providing what they allege is false information to the b. i
6:23 am
essentially, and he came forward. then he talks to the, the, i about the hunter, biting scandal regarding the risk. my holdings right after the 2014 your roommate and cool, the son of then vice president joe biden, who's currently the president of the united states uh, got hired by a ukranian energy firm called burris my holdings. now he got hired by them and he had no previous experience in the energy industry, and he was paid quite handsomely for his work. the whole thing smacked of corruption to most observers. so it's a ledge that smearing of misrepresented the truth to the, the i've and told them that they had that, that they had told him, they hired him to protect us through his dad and all kinds and from all kinds of problems. now they're claiming that this is not an accurate statement. now it's not clear if alexander is near enough deadline, but it's worth pointing out that throughout the donald trump presidency and throughout the, you know, dealings with allegations of trump, russia collusion,
6:24 am
there were all kinds of falls statements that were made. for example, christopher steel, his infamous dot ca, that claim to prove donald trump was beholden to russia. that's been completely de box. the entire collusion investigation now showed that there was simply no evidence of illusion between trump and russia. and we have a report from the special council investigation saying the basis of that entire story that the media ran with for the 4 years of trumps presidency was not accurate . this is what the ultimate report from the us department of justice had to say about the story of trump. russia collusion completely to box the special councils investigation did not find that the trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with russia and its efforts to influence the 2016 us presidential election. and then there was james clapper, right? james clapper from the office of the director of national intelligence. he went around to other intelligence officials and had them sign
6:25 am
a letter saying that the 100 buying laptop story was russian. this information and a number of former intelligence officials basically sign this letter urging the american people not to believe the hunter, laptops story that undermines laptop with some kind of fictitious russian propaganda. well, it turned out the 100 by the laptop story was indeed real. the laptop existed, the contents of the laptop were not. miss representative was a true story. but the intelligence community was mobilized to urge the american public to ignore it. this is all the james clamber, a former director of national intelligence, had to say about that. there was message distortion. all we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be russian does information. so right before the us elections, we had a major scandal related to the family of one of the presidential candidates that we had government officials, former intelligence officials mobilized to, you know, suppressed. and it turned out to be a true story. and now it's appears that throughout the allegations of trump, russia collusion,
6:26 am
and throughout the impeachment of donald trump related to his phone call was zalinski. there was all kinds of false statements, all kinds of allying that was done. but at this point, only this, alexander smear knob individual has been charged. so that raises suspicion about the balance of forces in washington dc. and the one sided mess of american justice now onto binding will be testifying before a congressional committee before the end of the month. and that is something that many critics of the binding ministration are very happy about. they are hoping that a 100 buying will be phased with some tough questions about his business dealings with version the holdings and other corruption that people look at from his laptop and from other reports that have come out. but it appears that there is very selective enforcement of this law regarding lying to the f. b i or miss representing the truth to uh, federal investigators and inform. and so the fact that smear knob has been charged but christopher steel, james clapper, and so many people who said so many false things throughout the trump presidency
6:27 am
and its aftermath remain at large spacing, no charges. it points to a certain bias and how the law is being enforced. when the, we high from the highest of all t's 360 view schools and you know, hughes. she said that despite the latest indictments, the bye, didn't families still have major questions to answer of the republicans investigation. and the appeasement jo binding is completely hedging a lot on this case. so today in the west, if you're a democrat and you're a part of by the administration, you're celebrating this, this latest thing that has come out about alexander smirnoff, his arrest when he landed in the las vegas here for the heard read airports your celebrated because now the f b i by the way, i was interested in a, was an informant today and just arrested their own informants for information that he gave them. that supposedly they did some sort of action on, but they didn't valves, they didn't verify it before they put it out in this either shows that we have
6:28 am
a very inept f b. i or what is more likely happening is they're trying to cover up their own tracks and everything going on. their l haired. fact hunter biding himself joint bereavement in 2013 and between 20132018. took in $11000000.00. that is a fact us democratic son as a chris von holder and has found himself in hope was up as off the he voted in favor of sending military a to is well well, publicly accused in the country of convincing rule crimes in gaza. senator van holland says i cannot support a blank check for the netanyahu government's current campaign in gaza and then went on to support a blank check. democratic senators warren invited holland, have voiced the criticism of israel, but nonetheless just voted for the $95000000000.00 for an a bill that gives these rel $14000000000.00 because it also includes 61000000000 dollars for the ukraine
6:29 am
proxy. will the meal come? takeover of the democratic policy is so complete that progressives and now funding of genocide, they claim to oppose. the senator chris van, holland, kids in gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food. that is a war crime. it is a textbook war crime and that makes those who orchestrated war criminals. then the senator voted for military aid. so as opposed to all of this into context, the us senate recently passed a $95000000000.00 foreign, a bill which provides funds for ukraine and sends, as well as $14000000000.00 for his war in gaza. the fates of the bill is still in limbo, is this sits in the house of representatives, wherever republicans off the reckoning to blow kids. morales before green lighting the aid package of on hold and split into the senate, lambasted as well for committing atrocities in the palestinian 9 place. that impressed i want that to sink in. kids in guys are now
6:30 am
dying from the deliberate withholding of food. in addition to the heart of that news, one other thing is true. that is a work right? it is a textbook work, right? and that makes those who orchestrated war criminals tell us to be an american journalist ramsey. but we would say is the inconsistency between such as a holdings actions and words reflects a why the american sentiment so all you really do not think that this is an issue of, of senator, of that in holland per say. i think the holland expresses the largest sentiment of the democratic administration of overdraw by that. and that is, um, you know, provide a political discourse that may appear to be challenging is really oh or, or confronting as well or.
