9:00 am
stores the wind is blowing against the west. the, the headlines on off you international as denmark drops its investigation into the blast that destroyed the north stream gas pipeline. and while saying it's obviously sabotage, it added. there's no grounds to pursue a criminal case, must go to brands. the decision of the prime minister of the policy, you know, authority submits his resignation to the president, taking his custom with him, justifying the move. i made an escalating violence in the west buying and the war and got an active duty member of the united states air force and i will no longer be complicit in genocide stateside a member of the us air force makes the ultimate sacrifice the palestinian cause, setting himself on fire outside the gate to the as riley embassy in washington, dc. the
9:01 am
and was so much talk about this. how i live for a most go. it is a pleasure to have you with us here. we're not seeing so the world's biggest event of the eco side in the history will no longer be investigated. according to danish police, the destruction of the old stream pipelines in 2022 was indeed sabotage. however, they are shutting down the probe, citing insufficient evidence to pursue a criminal case, comes on the heels of sweden and dropping his own investigations, saying it elected jurisdiction was won by imagine rushes spoke to the person has lost it. the parties involved this whole mission to close the situation is close to i'm served. on the one hand, there is recognition that there was deliberate, sabotaged, and on the other hand, there is no further progress there. various information leaks a whole set of facts that became known off the investigation,
9:02 am
obviously based on it to reach out to that closest allies in the course of this investigation. at the initial stages of this investigation, we repeatedly approached the danes requesting information about what happened. we what refused, we could not take part in the proof. the situation in this case is so obvious that one can express absolute amazement for your visit. well, it's pretty incredible. we've got copenhagen saying that they can't take this forward to a criminal case because this isn't sufficient evidence. and yet on the flip side saying that there's enough evidence to say that this was sabotaged. they knew that this was a deliberate act to destroy these pipelines. these multi $1000000000.00 pipelines that were taking a cheap russian gas directory from those gas fields to germany. and this now is the 2nd west and country that is pulled out of its investigation, saying it's not going to take things for that sweeping. did exactly the same just 3 weeks ago. the investigation has let this or just to conclude,
9:03 am
that there was deliberate sabotage of the gas pipelines. however, the assessment is that there is not sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case in denmark. as we know russia on the west have been pointing the finger at each other since this happened all the way back in 2022. and what's really interesting is that nobody in the west has been able to say, why russia, for what reason? russian would blow up a pipe. it's spent years building had spent billions of dollars on providing president printing, however, has been pretty clear. he was speaking to us during this talk a call soon just a few weeks ago. and he said, it's the west who blow up north stream you for sure. it is. i was busy that day. i need it and you have to have it. i just uploaded or whatever it takes. you know, you personally may have an alibi, but the c. i a has no such alibi. did you have evidence that nato,
9:04 am
or did it make sense? you know, i won't get into details, but people always say in such cases, look for someone who is interested. but in this case, we should not only look for someone who is interested, but also for someone who has capabilities. when the blame game 1st kicked off, it was a very famous john old as to point of the thing that wasn't this. yeah, this right. this is a pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, who had an incredible tale to tell. he basically said that he had spoken to sources with direct knowledge of a military operation, a us milledgeville for ation that so us the only buzz deep diving down to the pipes, punting c for explosives. he said that this was all done while a need to operation was on going to be covered up and nobody would be suspicious as to why these us opportunities with the. and he said the reason behind this was because the us feed that the was addicted to cheat russian gas. and in fact, he said that this operation was planned prior to the ukraine rule. that's how scad
9:05 am
america was looking for that cheap flushing gas biden's decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than 9 months of highly secret back and forth. the bait inside washington's national security community about how to best achieve that goal . to see more hers is not the only person saying as it sounds like spying no food, but others we've had reports in the washington post as well. all suggesting that the west played a very large hand in this, if it wasn't them directly, there was a, a thing you quite look. i mean, it wasn't that long ago. it was, it was a couple of years. what's it? and joe biden basically said, we have all ways, we're gonna stop that pipeline in victoria newton, the my down midwife. she says something very similar as well. and yet still somehow no one's taking responsibility. yeah, that's why to me is pretty incredible way. well, an 18 months on from that now, and nobody has been able to say, well, this is what happened. an interesting lee. this was a huge,
9:06 am
logical dissolved the when the pipelines were up below, not masses of me thing came into the this is greenhouse gas, is this is what weston experts say is causing climate change. so you'd think if nothing else would prompt them to investigate that, the fact that this was such an ecological dis off that would have been the reason. and of course, we've got the fact that germany are still investigating. we've had a statement from germany on monday saying that, but i'm not going to hopefully press give them that we for it just seemed to of the cases not being pursued any further on that specific. the interesting because germany is the country that really has been who are soft as a result of best germany, you know, the industrial base of europe. it's a engine of money. essentially. it's not industrial based, needed a cheap energy to be able to continue pumping out the goods at still thing that russian energy coming into germany has an impact not just on to and they would just
9:07 am
say higher inflation. and now apparently is going into a light t recession, but it had an impact to run stations across western europe. but despite all of that, we know that one pipeline is still operational. and present. pushing says he's a very for giving man. and he says that russia remains ready to use this also confuses me. but today's german leadership is guided by the interest of the collective west rather than its national interests. otherwise, it is difficult to explain the logic of their action or inaction. after all, it is not only about north stream one which was blowing up a north stream too was damaged, but one pipe is safe and sound and gas can be supplied to europe through it. but germany does not open it. we already please. i was discussing this earlier with the economist, i can have a who says the sabotage was carried out by a joint western effort, but punishment for the crime will never com. well,
9:08 am
the best explanation on what happened gave signed hash that these far not only the american surfaces bots that to the surfaces con, operate in europe, without the knowledge, then that's probably the approval of the big powers in europe. i. the ones who are the see sites, there are the which is denmark, sweden and germany, or what to go into lives. so, um, it is not excluded that these are partners in crime, in this thing. and what a coincidence that um, to blow up the gas pipeline was absolutely in lines with the greens agenda to get us off the fossil fuels, which they agreed in doubles and so on. so there is no coincidence for me and i'm not, and i have no face at all in the german investigation of people in this, in this case. but something will really come out. i think they would drop it because
9:09 am
they have to, they might be having to sue their own foss, plus in billing and, and brussels that i don't think that will happen to the german legal system is not independent enough to meet the requirements of the justice of the re adjusted system, so politics can always intervene into the legal system, and that's probably what they do, especially if the suspicion would be in case that they apartments in crime, especially some of live pictures. right now, the pictures behind me that's brussels, that about 10 posts, 3 in the afternoon on this monday, right hand life. pictures of the farm is getting together, showing that protests is not just in brussels. it's been in spain and france, and we'll all across europe in the agricultural industry. and the u apparently is out of hon. farm is across europe, igniting fiery protests and rolling through the streets,
9:10 am
basically to pressure europe. and if so, to solve on the fact competition in the block. now a united message in belgium, in spain as cheap ukrainian products floods the region, putting many farms live, leads at risk. that demanding that blog gives up on his plan to cut funding emissions and changes climate policy. demonstrations coming as agricultural ministers are gathering brussels to discuss the rising. is the department instead of the palestinian authority has tended his government's resignation to the president, mohammed should pay a set that is moved. he's making the move will admit the ongoing crisis and guns off this decision comes in the wake of the political security and economic development related to the aggression against our people in the gaza strip. and the unprecedented escalation in the west bank and jerusalem. and the fierce and unprecedented attack on our people, our palestinian cause,
9:11 am
and our political system. the resignation is still awaiting acceptance by the palestinian president mach without boss a decision to complete the up. and the government comes off to the us. secretary of state visited the palestinian capital last month. allison you media reports have said that to shake off happened right off the pressure from washington. the day we spoke with the secretary general of the published in your national initiative, mr. most stuff about a booty he welcomes us move with a good step towards national unity with an interim government an important steps and hopefully in the right direction and the direction use the formation of an action. and let me see, instead of the government accepted by about as the impossibility him to get out of the i only deal with west bank and gaza and our united government. and to get on to you, the ability of the police thing and people who was on the spot of tucson forces to stand up on that. i knew i was plan, which is to try to consolidate as an annual patient and does
9:12 am
a get out of to is asked of this is if you got a box american restaurants to read, establish another one side that kind of government which would not satisfy the opposed to me and people ought to go in the linux channels. national unity, which means cause i think i mentioned of unity government instead of government acceptance about fight on a cdn forces. what we need now is much more than anything else to defy. is it as a 4 to the quote to say probably it goes from west to back to consolidate at is an annual q base 10 in gaza until they have to create song photo structure of whatever it is on the radio. basic. that's what we don't need to run across the situation of gas, or it's just getting worse each and every day as a delivery. so the anxiety for being caught in hoffman intense fighting on the idea strikes hitting you and shelters. according to our research report by the united
9:13 am
nations. pictures here are essentially showing a shot that garza, you an agency, the palestine refugees report as an average of 98 a truck to reach the gaza every day in february. way below the target of 500 deliveries were impeded by so called security constrained, sun closures at border crossings. idea of ground and asteroids, where a cool component contributing to the crisis. as we spoke the locals, as i risk my life and i still don't succeed in obtaining aid, i return empty handed. some people manage to receive a well others face danger, get killed and end up with nothing. unfortunately, the many women including myself, do not have the chance to access aid. no, there was nothing left that we hadn't eaten. we even consume chicken food and i wish we could find it again. animal and donkeys, you'd be game or substance and i hope we can find it too. yesterday my mother and wife prefers put over the floor. i swear we didn't know what we're eating. we have
9:14 am
no food or drink falls so. so our children, we are trapped in the north and there is no age reaching us. the situation is extremely difficult at bank of flow is being sold when balance. we did not have. meanwhile, in the southern city, over it, off off civilians to try to save lives, often has read the striking the area of wanting to start. think images are coming your way in the what the it is just a heart wrenching situation that but seemingly the reality of life for everyday gardens. it comes as the is ready, will, cabinet, has an approved a plan for a ground defensive against some asset. rafa it happens to be way more than a 1000000 palestinians, a sheltering. and while the planning document talks of evacuating civilians from danger zone is it makes no mention of where they're supposed to go. it's ready. 5
9:15 am
minutes a claims. the hostilities and the enclave code and quickly, if the military incursion is implemented, a victory is within reach. any kind of victory until you eliminate come us. once we begin the rough operation, the intense phase of the fighting is weeks away from completion. not months, weeks away. from completion, i've asked the army to submit to me a double plan for us to evacuate, to enable the evacuation of the palestinian civilians in gaza. and obviously the 2nd to destroy the remaining come us battalions. if we have a deal it will be delayed somewhat. but it will happen if we don't have a deal. we'll do it anyway. it has to be done during the weekend. israel has been given mixed messages, confirming its intended tramp on military offense against mass after. also having suggested that progress in the stocks are coming along, the media reports say last week's meeting in paris between and is there anything at
9:16 am
the beginning of the truth from the us covered and each of has been told it was further negotiations in the home. so if you gave, with some of the patient limited mandates to discuss the technical aspects of the potential bills as a negotiator is, are still a waiting. how must respond to the framework they pulled in the reach in pants? how much has not come associates on the latest reports, however, a senior, her masters official, she said comments made by benjamin. it's in yeah. how sunday. because the, the color, the willingness to secure a hostage to you. you don't know whose comments show he's not concerned about reaching an agreement. he wants to be soon negotiation on double buttons and the blood showed the philistines. well, you know, so for the pre, the framework provides the release of some 40 hostages, including women children, female soldiers, elders, and even sick up deputies may also include the release by israel, of the hundreds of posting in tara context. how much earlier said it was not to
9:17 am
lose all of their remaining hostages until 0. s is offensive, and withdrawals is forces from the territory. pressure has been nothing on this and you know, has got limits to negotiate a deal as secure the release of the remaining costs are just mess up cash offsets on the streets of tel aviv doing an antique governments. riley, that's a daylight with protesters calling for prime. minnesota benjamin is in the on the commission the . 0 the me one a western support or is there any is action is place to concerns us national security advisor jake sullivan said the washington within support. televi yvonne offensive in the fall without a credible plan for the security is protection which is apparently lacking. we've been clear that we do not believe that in operation
9:18 am
a major military operation should proceed in rafa. unless there is a clear and executed will plan to protect those civilians, to get them to safety and to feed closed and house them. and we have not seen a plan like that because she is, are also facing an unofficial. the lines of the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan domino is also due today, his cabinet later this week to approve the preparation of transport action. and the fact that as about $1500000.00 palestinians are taking refuge in the city as the turn situation in the gaza strip to be made unbearable and even ins payable team. and i just had to complete it in 19, where in the 6 months of yes, we keep moving from place to place wherever he is released instructs us to go. we go, no, they're saying they want to enter russell. so why did they ask us to have to rush off? they wanted to up to piet's, where could we possibly go without children cold and hung direct killing us?
9:19 am
life is miserable. here. it is just some bearable. think it is. young people are suffering from trauma. some of whom do goals to avoid some, some of them bid their children do the psychological impression i and many women have become, gets and divorced here in rough talk with me. and i also know is that limited on this, i was originally displaced from con eunice. i was told to go to rough. uh, because shebra is safe. we came here. is the safe side of it is a disaster. residential square, measuring half of square kilometers, has been completely destroyed. how can a personal ties in the roof or has already been submitted by the ideas and we wait for this week to see what else will come on to me as government in washington, a member of the us, i for us, has reportedly died office setting himself on fire sign, thesis, ready, embassy, and a video stream. the seconds before the tragedy to code, the man said he wanted no involvement and what was happening in gas and active duty member of the united states air force and i will no longer be complicit
9:20 am
in genocide, i'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest compared to what people have been experiencing in palestine said the hands of their colonizers, extreme at all. this is what our ruling classes decided. what i should warn you disturbing images coming up right here, the man who set himself on fire aidid as a 25 year old aaron bushnell, his last words, reportedly free. palestine is not the 1st such protest. december demonstrate a self in the night that outside the is really considered in the us state of georgia and political analyst at wiley. i am says, well, he was shocked by what he so everyone was chuck, it's a good thing that's been happening since october 7 has been unprecedented. including what happens in front of that is a to emphasize that it is message is last words. uh
9:21 am
they spoke them on the minds of uh, a great majority that have been protesting against what's happening caused on palestine. a gentleman. by the way, he expressed himself in that desperate moments and those finding moments of his i cannot like um, expand on it. i can only just repeat them, this is what that would mean. classes, uh, hasbrook glass and the that's what's the, what they're trying to make a little more than that. so what's normal now? not we have normalized, but it's been using does have the inc, i'm starting to the so what's the next norma? now americans getting themselves. is that the then you know to me and it was due to a fault with officially say any reaction to it? like on social media, the labeling of responding to what happened as your, as their enemies getting themselves. i'm sorry, but as an active member of the medicine is an any. okay. a,
9:22 am
she's the russian administrator of defense saying its forces have captured the village of a lost the key. now that is in the don't square public lot fall from the city of of do you have code which also came on to that control last week in the article for region of use in ukraine, the russian minister defense, i really think this footage of a, basically keeps drug and control positions being pocketed, inconvenience, and crossing this. all systems can also be seen in action for texting against ukrainian strikes. regarding mr. lensky summed up ukraine's casualties, but his count did not add up at all to the e. u chief said quite a long time ago. threats, it's not 30. 1000 soldiers have died in this war. and yet it's a great loss for us. it is estimate that the more than 20000 civilians and more than 100002 ukrainian military offices have been killed so far as russian troops of
9:23 am
bonds on the front lines my colleagues ask you it's highly discussed, the numbers put forward by savanski with all these donald well, 1st of all, what's interesting is the fact that this figure from ukraine's president comes recently after moscow actually gave its own estimates of ukrainian casualties, which suggest much higher losses on the side of the ukrainians. according to russia's defense ministry, key have suffered over 200000 casualties just last year. well, the total number of ukrainian casualties, since the beginning of russia's military operation, is approaching $400000.00 according to statistics that we have from back in december. so it's already been some time since we had those numbers established then of course the wednesday says that this all nonsense, but you got to wonder seeing all these videos of ukrainians being snatched up on the streets and send to the conscription officers. you've got to wonder why so much fresh meat for the grinder is necessary if casualties are so low, not to mention how large we've seen ukrainian cemeteries grow in recent months. so
9:24 am
this is all together, something that rushes uh for a ministry spokeswoman is saying evidence for wise lensky is actually really just a liar. the fact that the lens keys lying is realized by every citizen of ukraine festival, but every ukrainian soldier early as the president did not consider the russian speaking population of don't bosses people. now he has stopped considering the population of the remaining pulse of ukraine as people reference position on this is really only further backed up by a slip up from the president of the european commission back in 2022 or so of underlay. and when she said that's ukrainian losses had at that point reached a 100000 people in a video as it was just deleted as quickly as it was published. it is estimate that that more than 20000 civilians and more than 100002 ukrainian military offices have been killed so far. so well that's one statement that i can see is what i but
9:25 am
the western press. but is that anything else that he mentioned and not pretty comprehensive press conference, that you think is interesting? well, now that the counter offensive is over, it's a failure. but the lensky is still saying that this is not something that he should be taking responsibility for. he says that uh, that the plans for the counter offensive were somehow available to the kremlin that in advance, he's going to want me to that. the i'll tell you frankly, i'll counter offensive operations last thoughts and we're on the criminal each table before the counter offensive began. that despite the colossal failure of the, the 2023 ukrainian counter offensive, i mean the fact that it's failed to accomplish anything aside from man massive casualties. on the ukrainian side, we've still got ukraine's defense minister promising that 2024 is going to be a new year with new successes, middle mash summers, leeway and the most liberal. that we're doing everything possible and impossible to make
9:26 am
a breakthrough. the 2024 plan is already in place. we do not talk about it publicly, is powerful, it is strong. it gives not only hope, but it will give results in 2024. so definitely some big plans. there are some big words, but with russian forces now in control of a day of car and advancing across most of the front line. i mean, it seems like a 2024 counter offensive would be even more doomed to failure than the one that we saw last year or so. south africa is a ruling party. the african national congress has released its manifesto ahead of the country's upcoming general elections. addressing thousands of supporters of african president and the policies lita, settled on my thoughts are outlined his intention to promote trade and reduce unemployment. we'll have this report open out to local journalists. i think i'm going so that's because reading african national congress has especially launched. it's 2024 elections manifesto. this is the very same stadium that hosted some
9:27 am
thousands of economic freedom fighters, an opposition party led by julia smart lemma, which also hosted it's a nixon's manifesto in this highly contested province of wizard in a tall. the province also happens to be the home, a former president of the amc jacobs who matter who has recently been suspended by the agency soon after he announced that he won't be backing the agency during these elections. some agency supporters ask the manifesto, knowing she was seen tearing a mates of coffin, which symbolizes what they want to beat the death of a newly formed political party in condo with caesar, which is linked to zuba. for those who are communities. for those who want to be turned out, yes, there is no place as well. for those who want to be next, you know,
9:28 am
not all the tools that they don't belong here in the agency. and i'm, i'm just somebody else came from a wall. this is born in, so do you not a, we are in you see there wouldn't be in the mind on the fundamental matches all the discipline and the integrity of the african national congress in this election. the amc is ensuring that our committee represents the part in the leadership pep rally to drawing from the lessons that we've learned from the past present. and so now my post that has one is again, re, it's a rated the promises of the amc on job creation. touching on pro are 2 points on the 50, a page long document which highlights some of the challenges that the country is
9:29 am
car and see grappling with. it is now open for us. we have open markets of 1300000000 points, juma on the african continent. and our company's now going through the continent. our companies are selling goods and services in many african countries. prior to $994.00, sold out for the account to not do that because it was a hated country. today, all country is a law. the doors of trade are open to many countries, not only on off on to noon, but in the world. well now exporting our oranges to europe in tons and tons, our maids is going to try know,
9:30 am
it is built into the middle east. yes. our capital. and now she are being exported on over. this has only been made possible by the amc that government and in the next 5 years, we are going to increase the k s. i, sam, to turn that drop off strategy. we will continue to fix our countries in energy and transport and logistics back to the applicants minute stop all the justice and correctional services. we also happens to be a member of the national executive committee, ronald la hosa lid. so that's because legal team actually haig before the international court of justice says that the manifesto also deals with how the organization plans to.
