9:30 am
so that's another interesting point that the head of this has been made is that the us and it's how ours are pushing to expand the war zone to the baltic states to poland. sumo dover, as well as well as the south caucuses, armenia for example, was brought up and he said that western countries are apparently pushing armenia to exit. the collective security for the organization in new razor in exchange for arm supplies, which is of course, would make our media even more dependent on data when it comes to it's conflict with i zeta byers on the head of the f. as we also said that the independence e, you civilian observation was and that was the point on the board that with our media. and neither of us on is actually there and is conducting intelligence activities on behalf of a natal country against russia and its allies. and finally, he also brought in an interest in points about the bombing of pagers and 11 on of course, and that poses a very high risk for government officially and c i s countries. so lots to be on
9:31 am
the edge of balance in the c i s, and they're trying to make sure that they are not only aware of it, but they find the mechanisms to flight these acts of sabotage and also publication . with the breakdown in archie correspondence mean a customer, the not it's a friday visit to the cross talks to do with next catch peter panel talking washington's at pardon failure to rein in israel's military operations over the past year. and what it means for the allies going forward. the a clear told joe biden is frustrated by israel. the white house is reportedly realizing that it may be able to prevent the original war in the middle east. meanwhile, thousands tens of thousands are being killed. why is the west so indifferent to
9:32 am
diplomacy? in the late 18 ninety's french soldiers led by general to boot, i arrived in asia with the goal of expanding french control in west africa to the territory of more than shot. the funny, i mean he's stuck up some issues around the cars and just showing the list to the content, the food i on the east, one of the most terrific campaigns of atrocities to have ever taken place in the history of the continent. liability getting hold of somebody, i know. do i pay for them to push image dental implants? you follow derek. g. so they put the actual most likely multiple villages with devastated a numerous members of resistance groups. what the headed on that department for us to get the financing. i moved to a young investigator in search of his own identity and box on the journey to africa
9:33 am
. the traces general who with ice, blood drenched roots in an effort to establish how your legacy still echoes throughout the confidence. so my name is penny and i come from england and i've come ready to find out more about the, the mission of willy. i'm a script in the region, the mr. do bravo. thank you so much for taking a little time to speak with us today. let's start with the most. talked about new as in recent days, changes to the nuclear doctrine of the russian federation. i'd like to focus on one particular or aspect of the stress as potential responds to a threat from a country that does not possess nuclear weapons, but is supported by a country that does. there haven't been such significant changes to the nuclear doctrine in quite some time. in your view, why do you think russia has made this decision?
9:34 am
i think the russian federation had no choice but to make this decision. look, all of europe led by the united states is currently against russia. all these episodes were initiated by e. u. countries following dictates of the united states. old changes with respect to nuclear weapons start from the us. so countries following their instructions. so we're talking about the russian federations response to us actions. it was only logical and i think it would have been a mistake to do otherwise. you know, the introduction of new points to the nuclear doctrine of the russian federation is happening against the backdrop of washington deciding whether to grant ukraine permission to use long range missiles deep into russian territory. do you think this new doctrine will influence washington's final decision on whether to use long range missiles within russia? that's what i was saying. this don't colonel shift is an american initiative. it was the us doctrine that forced the russian federation to adopt a new doctrine. i can only say that i'm deeply convinced, like most people in europe, that as soon as the situation comes down,
9:35 am
the nuclear weapons will stay where they are. at the same time, i see the necessity of these steps by the russian federation of the u. s. department of state when commenting on the changes to rush as nuclear doctrine said that most school he's acting responsibly at the same time. we know that the us is the only country, not just in the world, but in history that has use nuclear weapons against a country that did not possess nuclear weapons, the whole world. so the consequences of that, do you think the new doctor included the west from using long range weapons against the nuclear state of russia? i believe. and i hope that the gentleman in the united states are keeping a close eye on all this and realize that any nuclear conflict would be the end of life on this planet. would get a nice long break for a 1000000 years. and then everything would start a new i also believe that no one will think of using nuclear weapons because common sense will prevail on the other hand, common sense seems to be in short supply among the american leaders. i also think
9:36 am
that the world is aware, it was the us who showed us what nuclear weapons are capable of the bombing of nagasaki and hiroshima. it's such a horrific example that i think the missiles will stay in the silos. let's talk a bit about your country. the president of the czech republic. poverty suggested that the ukrainian conflict will end with russia controlling former ukrainian territories. previously pet deposit was one of the strongest supporters of backing gifts. now it seems like he has slightly changed his position. is that the case? and why might you have changed? it says, i am convinced that this was once again dictated by the united states. because america and indeed the whole world can see the reality of the situation in ukraine . that the ukrainian president, who is heavily dependent on cocaine and similar pleasures, simply cannot change the situation. president, pavel does not have a good standing or a good reputation in our country. i really shouldn't repeat the words people use to describe him in the czech republic. so i believe that this is part of the political
9:37 am
dictate of the united states, and that the united states is already trying to disentangle itself from ukraine. they are giving up their positions and distancing themselves further. they using him as a mouth piece to say no, essentially using the check president as a to unfortunately, the czech republic is playing a terribly negative role in this. i'll tell you this worries me greatly. it is painful, not just for me, but for many people who are even more dissatisfied with what's happening in our country and how our government and president directing. there are many dissatisfied people. i hope that on election day, everything will be accounted for. i believe this will happen next year. yet us love, you have been an active figuring check politics for decades and you served as a senator until 2022. there's probably no one better to ask this question. how would you describe the direction of the czech republic, foreign policy, and how it has evolved in recent years? you know, when i was young,
9:38 am
back when the soviet union still existed. i remember check friends. and i remember that we also ourselves as almost loving brothers for now, prague is taking a hard and a russian stance. why is that? you know, this reflects the unfortunate experience of 1968. on the other hand, i'm convinced that if the warsaw pact troops hadn't come to check us with back year in 68, our republic would have been plugged to 20 years earlier. but that's a different matter. unfortunately, i must say that solar austin, others like him, did an excellent job. it is true that if you want to change something that you need to stop with the children. and sorel sped, no effort in this regard. i'd like the leadership of the russian federation to quickly realized, though, i think they already have that it'd been working against its own objectives. sort of, i believe, presented everything differently than it actually was. and when we talk about the negative experience of 68, it's also presented differently than it was in reality. another thing is our entry
9:39 am
into the european union, which played a negative role. you probably observed what's happening in the you and the decision making process of its leadership. the unbelievable bizarre things that are happening there have led me to my current opinion. another factor is generational change. my generation has lived on the socialism and experienced its benefits. but the n g o is a doing that job, which is to prepare the children and youth for new conditions. what we're seeing now is the consequences. and maybe you'll be surprised. but even in this matter, i see american influence at what look at how president prime minister and the head of the lower house travel to america getting instructions they were expected to follow. these are individuals who make regular visits to the american embassy in prague to receive advice and guidance. so as i look at all of this, i see traces of american leadership. i very much hope the trump will win in america . he will become president, and he will be
9:40 am
a more realistic leader than the current one who should rather be in a medical facility, the leading such a large country as the united states. you just mentioned the european union and given your experience on the affairs committee, you must have unique insights into its inner workings. i'm curious about the impact of european integration on the czech republic. how is it shape the country and is it still influencing it today? also, i'd love to hear your thoughts on the whether the push for trends atlanta, unity is truly in the czech republic. best interest. what's your perspective? essence during a business trip with the senate. i think it was into police. see, someone said that the european union is like a cage. those inside want to get out while those outside want to get in. this is because they don't really understand what the you is. i would understand and accept the you, if it had remained within the framework at once, was say, as an economic union because it worked and in some way still works. but i
9:41 am
absolutely cannot imagine that someone would talk about uniting into some kind of united states of europe with one president and its own army with everything unified . i simply think that most people today don't see you as you see yourselves. they don't see the solution to the happy future in the european union. and i believe this started in hungry. and fortunately, slovakia has joined in which will trigger centrifugal forces in the european union . i think these policies will gain strength, but as to how long it will take, i just don't know. we have a saying, the cop doesn't jump out of the pond on it. so consider the insane salaries that the leadership pays itself. it's on like you to assume that they would decide to essentially destroy themselves and give up such results as so it will be a difficult process. but if the e u is not reformed, it cannot claim a future. we are aware that the check republic has been supplying weapons to key of including the fame vampire systems. sadly, i personally witness the aftermath of the empire strikes many times beyond weapons
9:42 am
. the tech republic has also provided with massive amounts of medicines as part of the broader european 8 effort. this came at the time when to check republic itself was facing a crisis with skyrocketing drug prices. the situation was so dire that the government had to take urgent action to cut these prices. what do you make of the fact that these 2 things happened at the same time? you're right. they sent huge trucks of medicines that were in short supply at home . it turned out that ukraine has the best of government in prague. i believe that a government should take care of its own citizens, 1st known as all government does, as it is of the government in prague, k. as more about ukraine. i inquired about what happened to those medicines that was supposedly donated through this program. i do believe it told that they arrived exactly where they were supposed to go. i was less interested in who particularly profited from them. but rather in the reasons that prompted the prague government, the fee, all the government, to commit such a criminal act at the expense of its own citizens and country to supply these
9:43 am
medicines at such a time. we know about the corrupt environment that exists in ukraine. that's why i asked myself, where these medicines will ultimately end up. and who will profit from the data 112019. you published a book called cold war 2 point. oh and if i'm not mistaken, it touches on ukraine as well. a year before the book came out, you referred to you green is a black hole, a country where millions of yours and development aid vanished without trace. i'm curious where any other chuckle, europe, and officials aware of this information. if so, why didn't this knowledge put a damper on the new billions in a that's been slowing to key of over the last 2 years? and let's not forget about those almost daily promises of you membership. you'll join for sure, we swear is what's your take on all this? i believe the past few months, and indeed the years since the wednesday came to power have already confirmed my belief that ukraine is a black hole with billy and sent by foolish governments of vanishing. zalinski has reportedly used this money to buy luxurious homes around the world,
9:44 am
as well as according to room is to yachts. it's also said that he now has one and a half $1000000000.00 in his account. so i'm deeply convinced of this. before i left, i sat down with our former president seaman, because i wanted to understand why he awarded someone likes to lensky. the highest state on a of the czech republic, effectively de valuing old previous recipients of the award. i must say, if i had received this award, i would have thrown it out. this is simply unacceptable. he told me the americans promised to lensky. they take him to a safe place, but he refused, in order to stay with his soldiers, responded milan. but you really that know you have to believe that. so lensky stayed because he's at the center of the immense wealth flowing into ukraine. sure, he could have been safe abroad, but he would have lost access to those billions. i then gave them examples of what . so lensky is a quiet. so once again, i maintain that my words with true. just look at where the weapons sent to ukraine
9:45 am
are ending up. palestinians are now fighting against israel with weapons that were in ukraine. and i could give many examples like that, just love your one of the few foreign politicians and opinion leaders in europe who had the courage to visit, try me on new games because part of a delegation to see for yourself what was happening instead of consuming propaganda from one side or the other. so what you got for it was personal sanctions, despite the fact that you were a senator in the new country. how did your colleagues react to all of this and how did it impact your life overall? some reacted one way, some another. a few came up, patted me on the shoulder and said, good for you for making the trip. i asked why they didn't come with me. they replied icons on part of the affection, but you have freedom to go. you know, i'm convinced that if a man wants to remain true to himself, there are certain things he simply has to do. so when those american band, it started bombing yugoslavia, i packed up and went there to see with my own eyes the atrocities they were
9:46 am
committing. similarly, when i had the chance to visit crimea off to the referendum, i went so i could challenge the narrative and media and witnessed the truth for myself. now i decided to go to the lou ganske region when the opportunity arose to observe the elections that once again to see everything 1st hand. because often would no one can accuse me of making things up for having incorrect information on the type of person who needs to see things 1st time in order to form solid arguments. when i return from try me a, for instance, i became the focus of the media for 3 days with them asking how could send it to do bravo or possibly go to crimea, as if i needed anyone's permission to travel wherever i choose. i could go on about this fall beyond the scope of this discussion, talking about the crime in referendum, try me a separation, the tearing away of cost of a cost of those annexation. i can't stand the ta amex ation of crimea. it wasn't to
9:47 am
next ation. try me a separated, based on the legitimate referendum and in accordance with ukraine's constitution. but the cost of, of now that was an annexation, by the true definition of the word. there was no referendum. yes, annexation is when territory is seized by military force. and that's exactly what happened. i'm the kind of person who, when taking a stand full or again something needs to verify it 1st time. and that's the reason for my trips. it's also why i've come here this year being my 2nd time. so i can challenge the negative reports being spread by all media yellows left 10 years ago in 2014, you were an election absorber in new dance. at the time i was covering the situation in the doing that's people's republic. so we were both in that area around the same time. it was still 8 years before this special military operation would begin. during those 8 years, i witnessed hundreds if not thousands of civilians, toner, part, young and old, killed by various types of weapons fired by the ukrainian nationalists. now looking back 10 years into the past to 2014, do you think it was possible to prevent this?
9:48 am
could something have been done to change the cause of this war that has claimed thousands upon thousands of lives? it's difficult to think about it because i witness the atrocities committed by the as of fascist set, the mayor's office. they showed me documents that had been presented to publishing co when they were trying to resolve the issue of the east and territories, while preserving ukraine's territorial integrity. a very important point, publishing co dismissed it saying that the only ukranian children for the 10 schools and the russian children had no right to education. they would be living in the basement some dugouts. i believe that if this proposal, which was a joint one from both the dynette skin, lou ganske republics had been accepted at the time. they wouldn't have been a need for such hoff decisions. but when this proposal was rejected, and instead the killings escalated, essentially the murder of civilians in the east and regions. it's no surprise that in the end they took up arms to defend themselves. influenced by this knowledge and
9:49 am
1st hand experience on the 23rd, the day before the start of the special military operation in ukraine. i published an article thinking president putin for finally sending humanitarian aid as the situation for the people that was dia. naturally, i was late to investigated by the police for daring to say this. but once either often my return from crimea or on russian television, though not your channel. i stated that i am convinced booting is a gift from god, not only for the russian federation, but for the entire world. without him, the russian federation might have been fragmented on the world could have been consumed by was because the americans are in k bullets. anything other than destruction, devastation and killing they don't know how to operate peacefully. i've seen everywhere from iraq and libya to syria and beyond. unconvinced it's long overdue to say enough to stop and focus on something else. but they seem to know nothing
9:50 am
else. only how to kill today, the nato countries, and the so called collective west or the loudest in promoting a rules based world order. these are rules. no one else seems to know except them. the rest of the world follows the rules said by the you and then most people respect that order. let's go back a couple of decades to the war in yugoslavia. you were one of those who strongly opposed nato's bombing campaign, which bypassed the un security council. back then, they didn't ask anyone. they just started bombing at the recent natal summit, some statements were made claiming that those bombings had a positive impact on today's situation. in yugoslavia as well as modern bulk and politics in general, if my so it'd be in friends heard that they'd be horrified. how justified is this point of view in your opinion? we call this phenomenon simple hypocrisy. just look at how america and nato approach the special military operation in ukraine. it's one crime off to another. while what he's rarely is doing to palestine is deemed acceptable. today, israel has become destroying lebanon,
9:51 am
and that's perfectly fine. and everyone remains silent. this is nothing less than hypocrisy and its worst form this further confirms what i previously expressed. this is my opinion about america. in my view, america cannot tolerate a situation where things are calm somewhere, you know, remember the reaction of the americans and your wonderful is that correct was response when they learned that the russian federation is forming an empty nato coalition with countries like venezuela and negotiating with them, their response was that the russian simply cannot do such a thing. it's absolutely unacceptable. and she brilliantly stated that now the russian federation will pin the tail of the us. it was remarkable how she put that . and here you see american hypocrisy on the one hand, if weapons a boat close to that boat is just think of 1963, the cuban missile crisis and so on, right? but on the other hand, as i always say, just look at the map of american bases, how that positions near the boulders of the russian federation,
9:52 am
how many bases there are, and how many soldiers are stationed there. now compare that to a similar map of russian bases, please show me even the 3rd or cold, or the russian military bases that would pose a threat to the united states in the same way that us space has threatened the russian federation. once again, this is simply hypocrisy of icon. cool. it anything else? very true. let's stay on the topic of yugoslavia a bit longer. uh, you are directly involved in the investigation that prove nato had used a depleted uranium, munitions, a subs are still feeling the effects of that on their families and loved ones. now we hear that the, some of the weapons ukraine is receiving also contain depleted uranium. we already know that depleted uranium causes long term damage. so why do nato and the collective westdale go down this path? could you please explain once again, the consequences of using such munitions? uh, are we even being heard? do the subs the russians get to be heard? do you?
9:53 am
you might be surprised, but i was the one who 1st brought the information to you or the american said use depleted uranium weapons in yugoslavia. because of this, i was late to invite you to moscow by the international slavic committee. i had a series of discussions here where i demonstrated the real consequences of using such weapons. as a result, the americans eventually have to admit that they use those weapons. just this february, i presented a film about yugoslavia in prague. the rise in cancer cases, various types is staggering. you know, it's so easy to destroy something and you'll neighbor's yard knowing it won't affect you. and that's really the philosophy of the west. always think that it won't affect them. and i admit, i fully understand president putin statement that if long range weapons make their way into russian territory, the response will be appropriate. not to those who fight them. but to those who enabled this girls. yeah, those love, here's
9:54 am
a question. my job has taken me all over the world and over the years i've realized that what a government says doesn't always reflect uh what common people think. so i'm curious, how effective is the collective width and the russian propaganda in the czech republic? how does it affect peoples? is it like in the old days of the doors, when they'd say be wherever the rest butte in the be a did, russian will come and take everything. it's cartoonish, of course, but that's how and a russian propaganda works. what's the general attitude toward russia and russians? now, do people still think we're aggressive, those who want to come to the world? well, it's a difference between the younger generation and those who still remember things. i can tell you that my friends and i drafted a letter to your parliament and essentially to your president, asking them not to assume that was how government is doing, reflects the wishes of the citizens of the czech republic of to this last it was mentioned somewhere we were flooded with people wanting to sign it in support of what we stated. they were mostly middle aged and older people. those who are old
9:55 am
enough to be capable of adding $1.00 and $1.00 and knowing it equals to not 3. the situation with the youth is worse because they're being indoctrinated since they are school kids. and it's all task and a huge challenge to explain to them that things are different from what they are told. this is actually one of the reasons for my trips here. it gives me the opportunity to show to them that the reality is different. you know, when i heard in prague that must go was so impoverished that people couldn't even turn on the lights and were freezing. but i was here at the congress of the russell file movement. it brought together representatives from $27.00 countries and we prove that things aren't as the media portrays. i hadn't even returned home from that trip. and i already had 3 invitations to come and talk about what was really happening. i must admit, it's a bit of a burden, but i won't miss any opportunity, noble, my friends to spread the truth about what's really going on. as long as i have the strings, i'll keep going. by the way,
9:56 am
my 5th book is going to be published soon. it's called the wall of civilizations, with the sub title, not just about the us russia war in ukraine. it's not even out yet. and i've already got about 300 pre orders, so it looks like this book will do as well as the last one. you had us left. thank you so much for the interview. and best of luck with you. next book we've been speaking with. you have a slab, do bravo, check, politician and all the yellow stuff. thank you. thank you so much for the invitation. the. the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions pictures. design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills,
9:57 am
and is it just as it shows you fractured images, present it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground can the
9:58 am
on march the 22nd 1943 doing the great petri. i'll take the shirts and munch fatality and 118 run down the better we'll see under the age of cartoons or i just jump on the bid that you wish to be loaded into in the fitness center. yes. so the, this one, most of the rooms to pony you to you $149.00 people died including $75.00 children of age was practically wiped off the face of the la new blue loves of the auction. couldn't charlie was no noisy and will you put it as follows? oh, shoot. was really i really usually its own you feeling? yes. so the infamous battalion responsible for the actual city included over $100.00 ukrainian national is from west to new. right. because of the picture. all
9:59 am
right, and so i'll see you guys so far as the new e phone, that's a lot of those to you guys for assuming, you know, i'm with them. you as customers need really d classify criminal cases from the central archive of the k g b, a better rules shut the light on the atrocity and on so numerous questions such as remained an onset for many years. watch on c the,
10:00 am
the, our enemies, however, have a command room that is centralized. they receive orders from one place outside a sense of radiance gathered to more than that death self has. busy as chief the country supreme leader, it saves the middle east, has one common enemy, which is receiving its instructions from overseas. also ad on the program, the u. k. green lights home rule for the long dispute and shake of silence. feeling the return to let us just as a diplomatic success, but the locals vent their fury, claiming they weren't involved in the negotiation process, which that the us military base station there of the united states is consistently and persistently promoting mechanisms for controlling financial and commodity flows in the commonwealth of independent states under the pretext of insuring a sanction solution. and.
