the, the fresh on rasp in siri is in buffalo look, feel like the region is over. a dozen members of the country security forces are reportedly killed in heavy clashes with us boy list the h t. s. military bombing, the villages and suburbs of la takia, the suburbs of chevrolet, reports are coming out to the people of 3 villages in that area by the airport on leaving the houses and the refugees. now they're leaving the house because of the bombing. where will the cash coming from? that's the question immediately raised after you leader is agree to run the fault. the blocks defend span to the june of 800000000000 euro, with russian name, the primary reason for the mazda of hike. not all member states, however,

were on board with the new york race. donald trump, this foreign policy chief confirmed side laws of the west, those repeatedly leveled russian propaganda by your trade president, trump views this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear power as united states helping ukraine and russia. and it needs to come to an end the from us go to the world. this is our t. i'm you know, neil and you're welcome to the news. rob violent says, again escalating and syria flushes between the new estimates, government forces and government link to the country is always the leader of a wrapped in the western city of job, blah, an area ethically, all of white, the grouping to which but charlotte belongs the h d. s. military of bombing the villages and suburbs of le takia,

the suburbs of jibley. the muslim l white council has called for a massive protest tomorrow, a peaceful protest to condemn the attack on civilians and la whites. reports are coming out that the people of 3 villages in that area by the airport are leaving the house is in a refugees. now, they're leaving that house because of the bombing, the clashes a very close to the airport. a warning, the images coming out of that talk a are disturbing. a syrian broadcaster is reporting the 13 members of syria security forces were killed when local army groups targeted their vehicles with explosive devices. the country state news agency has labeled the militants, quote, remnants of a size malicious. we're also hearing the serene army is sending additional units to lead talkie of governance and a curfew has been declared across the area, telling us more about all of that to ortiz. now we're seeing these huge anti

government protests taking place in a number of governments in syria and hama, and the talk you on any talk to us and talk to is the protests. we've seen the image is circulating across social media, which are paid to us shows the protested storming the government building that. now, of course, the situation has been like a tinderbox waiting to explode, that have been these big anti government protests the, the government, of course, of i told her i was shy, mother, it's need to have an old yolande who is being re branded now. as i would shut up with these new head coach a new day accepted at by the west, but this new stable, this new for a new democratic sylvia appears to be nothing of the sort with these a big anti government protest now, high power alshaun. they have moved the forces, the government forces into those areas to try and re take control. they've been opening fire on the protests, according to some local reports up to 30 high,

a ton of real shon militants, or soldiers have been killed during the protest. ease of loss, the pain in ambush attacks by groups, according to cells. the syrian resistance, some cool, some heights are all strong, but they say that they're moving a gates, the former soldiers associated with the government of boss. you're all outside who was out of state in december that to claiming that, that is tied to go on the remnants of those forces that happiness has to be the group that's covering us together cooling. so the syrian resistance, they've been taking part in some of these uh, ambush attacks. so the protest movement, the one that's still continuing. however, that has been some indication that the other white community all being targeted. now this has been very much the case where the since december, we've heard stories we've met. so some people the flank, the country themselves, are talking about some horrific scenes happening there, including kidnappings. but headings,

people being burnt out the villages burns out of the homes. actually did judicial executions and the persecution of minority communities, particularly targeting the lights and also the sheer community. so the situation is an incredibly volatile at this stage. and of course, every of is that last the splits into areas under the controls of the gilani government. in the north, of course, the turkish pac forces, and in the northeast, the, the 30 forces which are about to cost by washington. so we're going to have to see how this one plays out, ready by the western image of this free and democratic. this new syria perhaps isn't as stable as we've been led to believe money pictures and as well head of the use of west asia focus thought that the cradle esteban company, you believes up despite all the promises i'm western backing, the leader of h t. s. will not be able to bring unity to, sorry. this is 100 percent. the leaving type of scenario. what is happening is here,

it's very, very unlikely that uh, that makes stream is later on down from the rock data is likely to bring to the end of updating. syria is likely to bring together a ride, the 6, they the different effects even. so you have to bring a unit that he's promise up in pollution. his. busy problem is diversity, and he's meetings with a german foreign minister and with the french front of me starting with the complicated or 5 western officials that travel to syria over recent months. but in reality, that has not been the case. syria has been racked via by violence a, by a, a, you know, they, the position of chevy a law in certain areas. they seem to be what we're seeing is the expansion of the way that the farmers, yolande, was runing. indeed, leaving the north a west of syria for so long under therapy sponsor. she spread to the rest of the areas of syria that he has on there. he's control, which is also a big question mark, right? because if you have israel continued expanding this out in 30, looking to take control of most of the not, then what is exactly going to be left for is that i need to control the donald

trump special ukraine and boy has launched. i'd keep blaming. there's a, let's be government for the recent pause and us military support to the country. they brought our own channel cheap range. i mean by that click when we were in the oval office last week on friday. and are kind of giving you the background a little bit, which is what we talked with presidents once getting for that meeting. there were 13, you a shot of her said hey, ouch. then we said ok, this is like stage management. this is what you want to say. it's basically gonna come in. we have is this precious metal seal. you're going to sign the deal, the, you know, the sub lunch, every press conference that you said, right? can you good to go? we'll continue to go. what happened became a very combat of who press conference. you don't negotiate police to discussions in public. you don't try the challenges, program, united states and the overall oversight. in fact, you need to side with me and not the russians call. we have hired quite

a lot of for resurrection, says lensky is blogs or the white house in february. that was followed up by his expulsion from washington. was evidence at the moment, is that so washington is trying to push ukraine into negotiations by limiting its support to key of, according to media reports. marco rubio, c with call fans, and michael walls will travel to saudi arabia on tuesday to meet with the ukrainian delegation, which will include andre, your market, who's the top official after the lensky in ukraine. this will be the 1st meeting between the 2 sides. it seems to meeting in the oval office according to reports, the white house, once a ceasefire, as soon as possible in order to expedite it's rare are minerals and natural resources deal with ukraine. now, take listen to this. we have now we're now in discussions to coordinate

a meeting with the ukrainians in re i'd or even potentially jetta. so other cities moving around a little bit, but it will be saudi arabia. and i think the idea is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial c spot ceasefire as well. it is common consensus that in order for the conflict, the n p f is going to have to talk to moscow. but here's the thing, remind we need to point out that mr. zalinski has explicitly forbidden negotiations with a lot of them are putting the law he himself brought in. that's another thing that stands out from everything that was said by the sol calls the collective west and the recent years, the so called fresh thought, if you will. that's it, continue. my attempts to isolate and not communicate with russia is not really a viable strategy. think listen, there is also a broader strategy of play in president trump's approach. this war. that is informed by the realization that the united states needs to reset relations with

russia to continue to isolation and lackland gauge with the russians as the war and ukraine continued. is no longer a viable or a sustainable strategy, pauses sullivan use you know, that russia had never ever said no to negotiations with ukraine. and on the contrary, zalesky himself had made it illegal for any thoughts were to be held with moscow. now that a side at the moment says some of the european officials are now claiming that puts in is about to invade the entire continents. and they're ready for a nuclear defense. just listen to my crohn's, the latest statements. and that's something that was completely made up, and the never even ordered by the russian leadership. think of this, the issue that we must choose for our sales version of peace that will suit us. and

that will ensure peace for our country in the long term historical perspective, we do not need anything that belongs to all of us, but we will not default what is ours. so another run of talks between the, the us and ukraine is up ahead and uh, at the moment you craze options seem to be limited, bought are now completely exposed to the rest of the world. no, at the moment that will have shocked many, the us secretary of state has openly admitted the ukraine. conflict is a proxy war between the us and russian fuel, by a previous administration. some very clear from the beginning that president trump, to use this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear power is united states helping ukraine and russia. and it needs to come to an end. and no one has any idea or any plan to bring it to an end, the plan of the ukrainians up to now and their allies on capitol hill. and the people

you talk to in other countries is, let's just keep giving them as much as they need for as long as it takes. that's not a strategy. you know, it took 3 years for washington to find that the experience of my month of clarity and actually has made that a, it is in fact in proxy war against russia led by the us. and this comes off to years of denial, especially in the media because, you know, media outlets repeatedly called most coast on some the conflict of russian propaganda and the conflict and ukraine was actually unprovoked. and this was despite to his russia raising concerns about nato's expansion. easterwood, well, most of the south had to actually advocate for its own national security. but russia was silence and blames for this propaganda with 12 military officials in the west actually to 9, but any proxy were actually exists. so this really is a, a, a proxy war. you don't have boots on the ground, you're not making decisions which are helping you find fuel russians for helping you create, defend themselves. but now the new us administration,

the trump administration, is breaking away and actually aligning itself with the rush of stones. so the us isn't meeting the crate in conflict is a proxy war. but what about chance other backers? well, former british prime minister, orest johnson. oh, so join didn't despite his previous role in splitting, actually the play store tools that happened in march in 2022 and a sample according to most gay johnson actually allegedly advised key of to keep fighting. and you do that hi me a uh then head of the ukrainians allegation east of what's known as to jones lot actually played an influential role in the process. but now boys johnson seems to be saying a compatriot, differentiated. we are late, let's face it. what wage in your proxy will but wait, your proxy will, but we're not giving a proxies the ability to do the job and wet and for, for years and years now we've been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind

their backs. and it has been cruel. it is being cruel. and you know, this is the same virus film, some of them back in 2022 actually stated that there's no proxy war at the, in response to loud real statements. the russia is a war, noteworthy ukraine, but with the west and the war means war. and you know, these he is here of has been repeating the mantra that russia is the aggressor. and i think it's important to repeat some narrative. there is a neck restaurant and i were just, a new crane is a victim and rush, he has there to restaurant. we only need to be realistic about russia. russia poses ex, essential threats to our security today. the threat of war may not be imminent, but it is not impossible, but not still in europe has been beating that drama about the russian threat for

a while now and after 3 years of conflict, there does seem to be no letting app, but what effect has the us changing its approach to the conflict had, if any, well, you know, from the last few weeks and days the we've a seen washington stones on the conflict has indeed changed a new wallet 0 but still pushing forward. this will, to continue us, is actually pushing on and so lensky a, to negotiate with mockery bill, actually admitting that the landscape is reluctant to end the contract. we asked to credit is not to sabotage it. when the vice president made the point that it's got to take diplomacy to get things like to solve, present zalinski unfortunately made the decision to challenge the vice president and start questioning whether diplomacy is even possible in essence sabotaging and undermining the president's plan. my understanding is poor and said he is willing to get into a negotiated settlement. is that your understanding? the answer was we are interested in talking about it. we now need to follow up. it's hard to follow up when the other side of the conflict is saying they're not

interested in peace at all. and that was the message that was coming across as a result of silence keys. a reluctance to negotiate washington has actually stopped . it's a to key of and most importantly they stopped the transfer of intelligence data. and this pause is supposed to last until to have changes. it's gone. so, you know, overall we all see a slide shift and the narrative that the west has stopped to since february 2022, to a former virginia state senator for the republican party. dick black toner to the new us administration is now actively debunking the narratives of the biden team had been push. are very important. the. the topic demonstration has a totally different take on those would mind biting was part of this blast media propagating that their spend the most bizarre on truth was told to the people . for example, earlier in the war, they said a lot, we're, we're going to return,

we are russian. we went into the us, well crushed of it. we had all sorts of stuff. it's just a very prominent paper size washers, nothing but but for wells and in the military and an army. well, of course, that was absurd contract now, but the rubio was the secretary of state is saying this was a proxy was ready to go to us by nato gibbs doing again sports and it's accurate. it's something that all of us has known for a long time. what, what is happening now is that the war is beginning to online, it's coming to an end. they tow united states or recognize that there's more going towards jones was there. and so when ski new, we're talking about these get back to war. we've got

a lot of money riding on this. a lot of hedge funds, a lot of boy, the bankers expected back a lot of money. we got to keep this board one. and now the whole diamonds are unraveling, and now every body is starting to look so rich uses. i wish we could cut all these b you later. so enough for us why, what i'm going to tell you some people say so after the slipping their, their cocktails and, and, and are walking around with shiny shoes of diamond rings. they don't give a rip about the people that they serve. they don't care about the brain is they don't care of february brandy and they don't care every why should god, you know, i, i have just have so little regard for these d. u leaders. a while with europe and nations flirting with recession due to storing energy cost. many other issues, the e u has no, i pledge to spend an extra 800000000000 unresisting russia and beefing up their

defensive capabilities block all additions. we'll have to brainstorm how to pay for it with an idea and using their own investment fund being floated. the motion of the emergency summit was past the spike member nation hungry, refusing to support. the european council stresses that europe must become more suffering more responsible for its own defense, and better equipped to act and deal autonomously with immediate and future challenges. and threats with a $360.00 degree approach calls on the commission to propose additional funding sources for defense at a u level, including by means of additional possibilities and incentives offered to old member states. coles on the board of governors of the european investment bank to urgently continue to adapt the best practices for lending to the defense industry. notably, by reevaluating the list of excluded activities, and by increasing the volume of available funding in the field of security and defense. well that's welcoming writer and journalist down the whole as are joining us from new york. daniel,

thanks for your time today on unprecedented levels of defense spent pledge by the you. what's your immediate reaction to the news? well, the, my immediate reaction is that the europeans don't have any money for welfare or for health care, but they certainly have a lot of money for a waging war. it's a pretty amazing the reversal of priorities. how does it get paid for it? we're already hearing the european investment banks will now shift towards lending for defense purposes. that's that going to be a lot of the euro is being printed. is it a well thought i'd policy in your view? well, it certainly raises the debt levels ever higher to very dangerous levels. the european economies to be very poorly. and there's a big question as to whether it can take that. i don't think it can, but i think it was phaser. and i cannot mix drains as

a result surrounding the issue. it's interesting to, as donald trump posts a bite at lessening near killer stop pilots with russia on china, you've got the french leader saying that we're going to both get off and we're going to protect your of there's going to be some contrasting, there's within nato own that isn't there. certainly, well, big, i think nato is under a growing strain. the future of the alliance is, is more and more questionable, kind of to revise that i think that nato nato is going and going the way of the worst. so a fact, i think that we're seeing a uh, a major change and in defense alignments, something has to be so interesting at this emergency summit down the hungry at refuse to support at the high st. peace efforts right now in ukraine should be the priority. again, it appears though, as if opposing voices to the main street,

there seemed more is a balder ration rather than a valid point made by a member state it's it raises all sorts of questions that he use democracy doesn't that as well that they're trying that the war party is trying to cheap out the sense and they're trying to go into a wall and off, you know, in a race slough vakio and see where the places. but they can't do it for very long. i mean that as the people of europe, but not to be very happy as their standards of living, declines due to the steps that was set up for spending. and i'm sure they keep on these officials will arise and we'll see more and more just that's concerning where all this is going as much as it you and elite. so abuse donald trump that see him uh, some sort of older. it seems as if his view on europe and other

parts of nato offering their defense span. that's something that he pushed for. now they're doing it. months later, do you see a direct link there? oh, of course, of course i mean trumpets and pushing the europeans to spend more and they're finally responding. ironically, after truck as a set is essentially uh, you know, call and get the, it's a question the entire war effort. but there's no doubt that increase military spending is now on the agenda with all the attendance economic strains that will cause it will cause a to combine and living standards for european workers. there will be great anger rate to send these. these policies will not be happy, not be popular. and i think that europeans will begin asking how they got into this fix. i mean, how does this war uh, erupt? what caused it?

what went into the calculations back in 2014? the answers will be very painful. it just finally exists on here is the world, not a safer place with this news that the 800000000000, you're always going to be spend on beefing up european defense. it's no, it's not i'm, i'm quite convinced this. uh that's the violence, the crane will only grow bigger. i think that the, the, the, the stabilisation instability is growing. i think this conflict white and i don't think we, uh, we're gonna, we're, we're answering to a very unsettled, very dangerous period. during this down north, our dining, those are live from new york city. thank you so much that will today. thank you. well, with the you console helping now approved thoughts. massive spending hiked to come, but what they call the imminent russian fred. just 3 years ago, there was quite a different picture with a year chief or slip on their line,

claiming moscow was already on his knees. the russian military is taking ships from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix the military hardware because there are no send me contact us any more. rushes industry is in tetra. we um, your coach, mobilize close to 800000000000 euros of defense expenditures for safe and resilient to your own. we will of course, continue working closely with our partners in a tool. this is a moment for you and we are ready to step up. well as your up scrambles to come up with more cash for a key of it has actually what ironically spent 3200000000 euro more on russian oil on gas at cum heard to aid to ukraine.

we spoke with british history and politics expert chuck, john laughlin, who stays europe's leadership continues, beating the war drum because it suits their political agenda as what they are doing is they using this crisis, which they all by the way, aggregate. so in order to build up, as you've said in your report, an 800000000000 euro from, for defense for the alms industry. and verified to create one some through a european. this is a power structure and they'll turn on the screen federal european power structure, which is that sort of my coal once that's what he's wanted up as soon as he was elected. and that, so basically what was left on the line once a tractor sees referring to is the threats of an alleged or imagined russian invasion of, of the nato europe itself, in other words, beyond ukraine. and i think that's crazy on all kinds of levels. and not

see what she is doing is the same as my cold. so that's simply using this for their own internal political ends. and we'll have to see if they succeed. i'd personally am skeptical that they will succeed, but i have little doubt now that they are going to try and that's where we sign off or not from the new user and bought our programs or just getting going see what's showing where you are in moments and by the the in 1943 at the height of world war 2, bengal was hit by famine. a year before jeff and his troops drove the rate is out

of neighboring vermont and came close to the indian possessions of the british empire. london's response to the threat was completely inadequate. the british actively used the scorched earth policy. while retreating, they turned everything around them into an uncouth deserts, having no mercy on other people's territory. food in large amounts was exported to great britain from the starving provinces. boats used for fishing and transporting food along the river, it says that more confiscated from the local population, the barbaric actions of the colonial administration led to a month for its consequences. in a year, up to 3800000 people die from starvation and disease caused by mail nutrition. the old great britain itself had enough resources to overcome the disaster. at the same time, 170000 tons of australian wheat made its way past starving india did the british

aisles. i hate indians. they are a beastly people with a beastly religion. the famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits, british prime minister, winston churchill commented on the reports of the tragedy. the famine of 1943 became the climax in the british policy of genocide against the indian population. according to historians, from 12 to 29000000 people overall died from starvation alone during the reign of the british in india the the own the

the world war 2 was the most tragic.
