certificate in your upcoming move when you receive the russian intelligence reveals that francis preparing this end to a 1000 troops to ukraine. busy saves the french contingent, will be considered legitimate targets. libya marks 13 years since nature was military intervention, which plans won't solve the most prosperous african countries of the time into executive turmoil. we discussed the western lead incursions legacy with a former goods off a government school. really i became pavan. busy international from the month of this federalism, which later on spread through this, i had the reason of a freak out. all of them where funded on on, directly by nato and the cuban foreign ministry summons the us ambassador as have

found a slums. washington for allegedly fueling and take government protest and meddling in the island nations domestic affairs. the just after midnight took in must go. they say, if you're a global news roundup with me, you know, need alone well from is preparing this engine military contingent to fight in ukraine that's being revealed by the russian foreign intelligence surface. the head all the s v r said par us is set this in 2000 military personnel. busy to the conflict, so according to data received by the foreign intelligent service of russia, the contingent to be sent to ukraine is already being prepared. at the initial stage, it will be about 2000 people. the french military fee is that such

a significant military unit will not be able to be deployed and quoted in ukraine unnoticed. it will become a priority, legitimate targets for attacks by the russian armed forces. the russian for an intelligence service is basically sending a very clear message to friends and logic to the in time they to blog cuz they're saying we know what you're up to and we will do with your troops on the ground. accordingly, they will be rushed as primary targets on the battlefield as they have already become. and essentially, this message is a warning to both nato and france. and the fact is this idea of deploying french troops in ukraine directly. well, it is not very popular with fonts is very own allies within nato. so, according to russia's intelligence this, i'm big you, it's the, in the crumbs rhetoric will eventually has to go. parents not only has carefully hidden the number of losses, but also the very fact

a french troop involvement in ukraine. my crohn will eventually have to reveal the ugly truth, but he will try to delay that confession as long as possible. i, for the release of such sensitive data to provoke citizens, to protest, especially against the backdrop of massive anti government protests by firm is across the country. now, russia has repeatedly talking to the front, says, must scenarios in ukraine. its loss is estimated to be at least in the dozens, if not hundreds and that is, well, that's a lot of uh that people and that's a lot of, uh, disgruntled, well, just relatives and friends who want to know the face of the loved ones. and if 2000 proves are to be deployed in ukraine, that means even more heavy loss is. so indeed, a nationwide protest is arguably the lease that thing called government might face . if uh, if they decide to go through with this plan,

because up through the crohn was the one who started this room is google. when he was 1st to announce that he did not rule out this very idea of deploying french troops and ukraine. that did not find support neither inside fronds, not new within the e u or nato. so the crone he had to back track on his own was a, but he's, well, he went into semantics. he tried to pin all the blame on that, that he was just badly misunderstood. but the way that it was interpreted by his very own allies in both his people was just as more mixed signals. maybe at some point, it will be necessary to carry out operations locally in order to counter russian forces. frances might isn't our ability to do so, we are ready to prepare for any scenario. it would be a mistake not to do so. so he does try to sound very whole cation at the same time, very cautious, and this may be, we will, maybe we won't,

and big us see this and decisiveness is not something you want from a leader who might drive a country and, and the world's largest military book into a very bloody or you don't want that if you're in infancy mind, you don't want, if you're a strategic ally like any of nato member. so i'm a chrome really isn't helping his cause here. and essentially this message behind the, the, behind the announcement from rushes for an intelligent service is, well, we see you, we see what you're doing. you won't have the element of surprise. so whatever you do think and think hard oscillates from russia and bella russo, i've been barred from participating as the olympic games opening ceremony this summer in paris. that's according to a statement by the international olympic committee. the hey audience will not participate in the parent parade. of delegations teams during the opening ceremony

since the individual athletes. but then now paternity will be provided to them to experience the event. this will be this, this is the same scenario that was used for independent olympic participants at the mpeg games in boston learn and 1992 for athletes from the former yugoslavia. secondly, a decision regarding the participation of a i n and the closing ceremony in paris will be taken not to late to stage, taking into consideration that not all teams that enter the closing ceremony, but as more old athletes joining together. sadly, during the victory ceremonies, the un i end flag will be flown, and the i and anthem will be played sit in a i n s. late when a metal the i will see how is this is a declaration against the politicize ation of sport. with the very same resolution,

though discouraging estimates from participating in the world friendship game set for september this year and hosted by russia. the organization refers to the offense is on the sanctions on monitored by the world and the doping agency. why it is a cynical attempt by the russian federation to politicize sport. the i o. c athletes commission representing all the olympic athletes of the world, clearly opposes using athletes for political propaganda. the ios, the strongly urges all stakeholders of the olympic movement and all governments to reject any participation in and support of any initiative that intends to fully politicize international sport. well, let's discuss the issue now. here live in the studio with sports columnist. i'm commentator alan mercer island great to help you and thanks for your time today. one point i didn't mention there is that the athletes can't even walk in the opening and closing ceremonies on drain neutral at fly,

which i can't remember ever happening before. overall is this, it's been called by the i will see a for and just the 5 decision is it used to be honest with you. it's simply throwing the baby up with the bathwater. it's a big straw player. you'll see it's wrong. it's silly, but i don't think that they, they have no, you know, just a complete, you know, mess that they will not be able to pay. no. because if there's a lot of countries who are ready to speak with people um today in different countries from different olympic committees, they are very unhappy with this because they feel that it's, it's not just on fair, but it's also against olympic spares. and that's a great point, isn't it? is that the charter itself saying about inclusion, that's that the reason support comes into it and the i o. c, itself talking about keeping politicize ation out of things. this seems to be the, the opposite. we're talking, but actually it's here to what dump it asked these we're talking to the coaches, we're talking about officials, we're talking about the kids sitting at home. whatever country are in watching

these people on tv and aspiring to be at that level. we also already know for many, many years you and i just have this process here. so many years have now been messed up for young russian kids and how it's going to be even worse. so it's very, very unfair. it's picking on the brochure, and i think the politicization stress is now that russia are owners as well, because russia, if we just take it a simply, there were issues around doping, problems at doping. so they were then had to compete neutral, staying with their tens space, and so on. russia know this is politics. so i think that this, again, a lot of countries are extremely unhappy, but it's an issue. it's a back for a bottom the on the oil. see, we mentioned that by thought declaration against the politicization of sports, while at the same time, discouraging athletes from participating in the friendship games. one with a, a big history about that to event set for september. this year in russia just we can listen together all in to at what was said on this. thank you very much and are

fine if anyone gets take part in it, today's time to be punished. his whole body, i see them will be something that we will have to be looked at to in the future. um uh, obviously we're being very clear with the international federation set and our sees but as, who will have noted as well. there is reference to whether it's very clear position relating to these games where it says that it's a non sanctioned event. so for us, we would believe that a nice to be that would take part in that is actually putting him or herself at risk not only from a doping point of view, but also from a propaganda point of view. so we would have to look at that very carefully. yeah, i come back to that issue of, of double standards really i'm, it's hard not to describe that as you know, do what i say not as i do some what you even with the i see at the moment because they're on against they're coming up against this order games as well the,

the dope all you want, the games which are being phoned that are going to vote. i was just saying that this is not one size of my water like your so this is, this is the sticking point for them. but they're already having to test out, at least from certain countries where they're allowed to end up this discussion. so it's basically they're, they are creating a huge mass because they're basically saying ok, if you want to go and take part in these games, you might not be allowed to take part in wimbledon, or in the word of that assumptive and so on, so forth. this could cause a huge fracture within sports altogether. this could be, i believe that we could be seen the energy all you'll see as we know us. it could be very, very dangerous. it could be very dangerous for sports in general because if they, if they keep on coming home this point, you say as you go through the friendship games, which course was you mentioned. the 1st edition of this was back in 1984. and that was over political reasons because of boy eclipse and so on. so that was held across from mongolia to hungry and all places in between. it was a huge success. lots of countries for profit and 50 countries to button to great

britain, italy, spain. so, you know, coaches who were, you know, western nations testbed into the goodwill games, which was of course, settled by cnn the founder turner. so that's the window for 5 edition. so any reason it stopped was because the all you'll see killed us in no uncertain terms. they basically said were we, we would not give for example, and that'd be, see the right to the, to broadcast really big games. if you block has to go to games. so after a while, no wanted to to host a defensive games which beheld, of course, as you mentioned, to me here in russia, in september for a couple of weeks to basis. moscow, a new cut to reimburse the plan is then to have the winter games and it to take the next games somewhere else. the oil see knows the jig is up for the gigs of people, sorry. think of some parts of say, so they're thinking, i think the gigs of the node is going to be a huge problem and they don't cost, you know, i'm scared to live in daily. so these people, it will be all over for them. very interesting. can i put a point you the,

perhaps your audience are thinking of their, their, their listening to a cell. and, you know, this is all coming against russia, but there's a number of conflicts happening across the world. including, of course, very high profile. what's happening in gas that with israel's an invasion there right now, but we're not hearing so much about an slides and under a neutral flag or otherwise, there's not much debate about i it was the chief about israel. they will be going to power as they will be competing course to book. there's only one sports federation that really has stood up and been a well of common sense. and that is the and so i shall always talk you federation. know fin russian teams from the blind soccer teams all the way through to man senior team. and all of the top teams is what we're buying from you a for competitions on a course fee for competitions. that there was a sense in that because at the time i was an air who just was this was breaking on

campus for us and we knew that at the time speaking with people from was english and football, it will be extremely dangerous with so many people who will be looking to make a name for themselves to run up a stab of russian football and so on, so forth. so there was that danger then. so bullshit were frozen the, it specialized consideration said they cannot guarantee the safety of just radio. you talk your team reading and serve you and they said you're suspended. and they took a good decision. i think by keeping is really in there trying to play a one. you know, that all were very good boys is right. aren't so bad. if you're going to have one room in forces, but then we would know that for example, the us and u. k would not have been allowed into subsequent games after the invasion. well, just even a rock along 2003. so politics, those command to us israel has a much bigger lobby within the all you'll see on, even though thomas box, the person 0 see is a friend of rush, the heat,

those little calling the on russia. at this time, he is fighting for his life and for his job. and i again like come back to this could be the last days of, you know, see if they don't get russia and the, all your nation's world to back down because much global sales. but countries around the world, if they don't back down go see is finished. and they have very interesting. and dave, that's at news today that the at russian, i'm tell the russian athletes at will not be allowed to at march under at, or take part in any sort of money either be opening or closing certain lines of the part us olympic games. sports columnist, uncommented all, and we're bring us through the rama vacations out, and there's quite a lot of thank you so much like, you know, moving on to more world news. libya is marketing 13 years since the invasion buying nato forces, which resulted in the toppling of the countries leader. and who am argot, duffy,

the north african states was out on rest, but was still one of the continents most prosperous nations. at that time, it descended into chaos, a prolonged military conflict which is still ongoing. today. this is how it all unfolded. some are good, i think as last legitimacy to lead and he must leave the . 0 the we came, we saw, died, shows the world you would get rid of a time to do it to is freedom. be well we heard earlier from then international a spokesperson for the get duffy government new say it better seeing. he sees the

libyan leader wanted to unify africa and believes the west only saw him as an obstacle in their efforts to make profits of the continent. as a matter of fact, by the 19th of march 2011, there was a clear tipping of the balance of power and balance of conflict towards a peaceful negotiation and ending of the limited 7 conflict that took place in the country. libyan tribes being religious needed as political leaders, withholding major folks and negotiations that would have ended the conflict within a few days or weeks of the most the west and the student. this very well understood that libya was a solving country that had been army, was very strong, and the political leadership was very willing to make sure that libya remains

peaceful, strong and software. and that's why they rushed the 1970 decree by the security council. and then the 197, c, which allowed nato to attack the country. this was a direct result of libya's get get duffy's libya plan to pick from out of africa. france had a major military presence in the west of the continental fries control the economies of more of the 19 a free can countries all of a freak as wells goes to the french banks. all africans notice i'm getting dusky, wanted a free can union to come together, establish the organization for the natural resources of africa, and establish the african unified army to replace the french army. and of course, this wouldn't, has been a major blow to the prophets making machine of the french financial sector. libby,

i became even for international from the month of august to it isn't. which later on, spread through the side of the reasons of africa. all of them were funded on, on, directly by nato, admitted to den by the lead is a funeral and they, they said this was a mistake and this was not hand dry. but of course, we know that they always liked to have to um, on fund terrorist roads, they did this in libya. they did this in syria, they did this in iraq. i mean, how many times, how many times do you have to make the same mistake before you lie as you making a mistake, yourself in the states? is my intention. israel's arrest of journal. this may be a way to hide what's been going on at kansas l she for hospital. those were the words southern algebra reporter when asking for

a u. s. response to that attention and beating of one of his colleagues at the medical facility. a lot of she thought hospitality. i am going information because the incident happened right before this operation started. that's the address to believe that it is a way just to blackout is going on and she will she file complex. do you have, did you hear from me or as lady box knows why the talk isn't this one? so i'm not going to speak to specific military tactics or assessments or operations from up here. let me just say 2 things. first, president biden secretary blank, and others have made their points quite clear that civilians at hospitals, medical personnel, patients must be protected. i will also just note that there is plenty of open source information out there that indicate a mazda is use of many different kinds of civilian institutions, including hospitals, to store weapons,

to function as command and control centers to house it's fighters. well, that's across live. now it's a journalist on political level, this robert in la cash. joining us live from the candidate to day robert. good to see if thanks for your time disturbing reports as well as images coming in once more from the impossible dolls she felt hospital as well as different versions of events. how would you describe what's been happening there particular over the last number of days as well. this is the 4th time that israel has entered the ship a hospital compound. and at this point, you would have to say that have mass or any other arm, troop if they were to have moved their troops or any of their weapons or set up the military presence, they must be clinically insane. so if they were to do a search because israel has no problem entering the hospital, bombing the buildings in the complex, in the hospital,

shooting at random people in the hospital using drones to shoot civilians who are playing the hospital after they've explicitly been asked to leave the hospital, so obviously israel has no problem entering the compound because no problem firing indiscriminately in the compound. so there's really no reason why it would be a shelter for arm goods. and of course that's not what happened. and they tried to pass off. and then by the name of the site, who's from the valley, a refugee camp who was working in the interior ministry, who they killed as somehow being a mastermind, terrorist working and coordinating an ass cells. and really what he was coordinating was a trucks and the entry of a trucks into the northern 1000 strip. but of course, when it comes to the united states, they're not going to answer questions on this. because the 1st time israel invaded the ship a hospital and caused various massacres there the us backed up israel's claims

about a, an ass h q and an ass control node. the us that specifically. but the as or at least were saying extend kinetic control center yet. this obviously was not true. all of the journalist western journalists, ranging from the bbc to uh, fox news where let into ship. uh, and they didn't find this have ask command and control center and, and node they didn't find and any present. so the military complex tunnel complex underneath the hospital, they found a few entries which were already there. and there were plans, detailed plans that they had already accessed it and were actually built by the israelis many years previously. when it comes to journalists, israel has killed more journalists than garza during this conflict, then were killed during all of world war 2. and i think that says everything that

needs to be said about their merger of journalists. why do you think they are arresting? journalists as well, it isn't as it is an attempt to cover up what is going on on the ground. and i think that's an accurate description that has been put out there and has been alleged by which is or after their journalist for take. and really you only have one journalist in northern garza left for alger 0, who's doing his daily reports to my knowledge and that's and us who is there. and now there are not many reporters. of course, people can always attempt to report, but it's very difficult once the equipment is confiscated and in nor randazzo specifically, we don't know everything that's happening because of the merger and the rest of journalists on a mass scale and this conflict of many journalists that i knew in the nor by their move southware have been killed. and so it's very difficult to find out exactly what's happening. how many people were killed in an area. uh, just a few days ago. uh, many posted beans as many as

a 100 were killed was waiting for food a to northern gaza. we didn't know how many were killed until more than a day afterwards, because people couldn't approach the site. and there wasn't any reputable journalists that were there on the ground at that, at that time, to go and, and count the parties. you don't even have health care workers and people working for the civil administration who were alive or able to perform their duties. so it's very difficult to tell how many people are being killed in what area. there's no people to pull bodies out at the russell and of course as well. they're not allowing international journalists to uh, to enter it specifically, nor bring garza where some of the more horrifying massacres are taking place. so this week or touching in an hour, we're not seeing on another point route. but just if i can briefly, because even the e u as now describing gals as an opener graveyard, is israel losing international support from it's from it's a lie, significant support or is it just words to i believe when it comes to

these western european countries, the likes of canada, australia they have taken stronger, stronger line against the israelis. i do believe that the public pressure is mounting and it is significant, even in the united states and do us fully backs this military campaign. it seeks to starve the population of cause of with israel, allowing them promoting them to do it and commit all kinds of massacres in the gaza strip. but it is election year. and as it is election year, their rhetoric has shifted already. we see that they're talking, they're using the word ceasefire. no, not really. what they mean is the same thing as before, that they want a 6 week pause, but they're using the word ceasefire. there had been people in the united states, like aaron bush now, who was in active duty member of the airport and burned himself a light in washington, dc for palestine. and you see the mounting pressure throughout the european

countries as well on their governments absolute disgust. and now we have seen some european countries take the move to stop sending weapons to the as riley's. we will see more of that. we've seen big decisions taken by canada, so definitely it is moving in that direction. they are becoming more isolated, but it's too little too late. robert, as always, thank you so much for your time. your thoughts, robert and la cash journalist on political all of his life from calgary. like think okay, i just want to fit in this story and trust and want to cuba, where the country's foreign at ministry has some in the us bosses are as follows. the cuban presidents accusations that washington is meddling in its internal affairs. i'm feeling anti government protests which erupt it in several cities on sunday. of the infamous truth wanted to go all just a to dance,

showing the pain of the cubans, mediocre politicians and networks. terrorist lined up from south florida to heat up the streets of cuba with intervention is to messages and calls for kaos. they will left one team. so as we just heard nikki cubans is undergoing mass of protests, hundreds of people have taken to the streets in santiago, the cuba, it's one of cuba is major cities and people have been processing food shortages. the supply shortages and of course are also undergoing a worsening food crisis. now, protestors had chanted that without electricity or food, the people get hot, which is understandable. the cuban government itself has some in the us and basset, or however, blaming the us, saying that they are the ones that are stoking this protest. attention was also drawn to the us government's direct responsibility for the difficult economic situation. cuba is going through at this time, and specifically for the shortages and difficulties faced by the population on

a daily basis. with the suppression and insufficiency of supplies and the central services under the weight and impact of the economic blocker, they decided to destroy the economic capacity of the country. now this is just as the u. s embassy actually tweeted on acts that they urge the cuban government to listen to the people's concerns. so it's no surprise nikki, that the cuban government reacted this way. and so what has the us reaction been to these activities while the us uh, it comes as no surprise, has said that they have absolutely nothing to do with cuba is process. let's have a listen to that. the united states is not behind these protests in cuba and the acts, the accusation of that is absurd. i will note those and do asked we are closely following these reports protests across several cities in cuba yesterday called for electricity, food, and fundamentals, freedoms. i think that's what we're seeing is reflection of the dire situation on

the island. well, and this isn't the 1st time that there have been protests in cuba in 2021. the cuban government also accused the united states of meddling and actually went as far to say as they the united states was funding these protests. and now, here we are again, but as a cuban foreign minister did say, if the united states is so concerned about the well being of the cuban people, why aren't they removing the fuel supplies? that makes it impossible for them to get to need an oil. it is extremely expensive to get oil in cuba to get gasoline. you'll see lines of gas. that's also a huge issue. they also are persecuting anybody that wants to do business with cuba . and of course the obvious thing, the us uh 60 plus here blockade and saying since of cuba, when we looked at venezuela, for example, a country that is also under here on massive sanctions. we're talking about feeling that as well as bull, we're talking about food shortages as well. the.
