so the u. s. government is under pressure, so they using penalty to say when she, she went on my own and so on. do not do not bind to this. you know, this is she was actually the right candidate because they can shift the blame on her. but if you look, there is a consistent track record of undermining the one china policy. and the ultimate goal is to complain china the same as you had rand corporation papers they were talking about long ago how to contain russia. you know, daniel, do say a parallel to ukraine with this because you and i've talked extensively on this program about ukraine and on december 17th for russia, sent a note to nato into the united states, saying this is a red line. this is the terms and conditions you, you are aware of our intentions now, and they completely blew it off and they're like, blowing this off as well as it always says nancy on her farewell to her. i mean, you know, i mean i, that, that's not good enough. and if i were to chinese, i wouldn't accept that as well

and the u. s. again came in as it did with ukraine in 2014 and said, oh yeah, we're going to destroy this relationship and would you get in return? nothing you get some promises from nancy pelosi. you take those to the bank, right. i again, trying to make sense. it is very difficult. andy, i'm going to be a little provocative right now. well, at the biden administration is walking away from the one china policy. so china can to, i mean it's kind of a get out of jail free card. okay. you, you don't, you want to adhere to it? why should beijing go ahead? well, this is a very complex, dangerous situation. peter. so the cornerstone of china us relations is taiwan and the taiwan policy, the one, the one trying to policy the one china principle. so i don't think that china would walk away. the issue here is this. i completely agree that there are parallels between the ukraine situation, the taiwan situation in that the u. s. is looking to use both as a proxy to contain those that it sees as an adversary.

now the u. s. c's little issue with the potential touched on, but beijing has labeled the move a breach of that. sovereignty will say so that we would like to warn the u. s. side once again, that the chinese site is ready. the chinese people's liberation army will never sit idly by and china will certainly take a resolute response and effect of countermeasures to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. and so if the speaker does decide to visit and china tries to create some kind of a crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on beijing. he, a lot of developments are on this trip, including taiwan international report has strengthened security measures after receiving a bomb threat. it was a warning stating the 3 explosive devices would be placed in the building as time papers for a possible landing of palo seas plane on the map. here you can see the jets flying near the island territory. ah, well joining me live here in the she do as r t corresponding, rachel, ble

i know the u. s. recognizes that taiwan is part of china, though they could have some independent contact with, with taiwan. and it kind, you know, everybody, you know, parlayed and it works now. i think it stopped working here. so strategic ambiguity is turning into a negative thing. now go, head in hong kong for china was never an ambiguity. date a, china knew all along the long term plan. this is not the 1st time that the u. s. is going against the chinese sovereignty. and he just mentioned before in hong kong, the attempt of color revolution. hong kong was full sponsored back by the u. s. addition to that, they were financing e t i n the separate a, we goes in king john and a lot of them are actually terrorist or dial. emma has been financed by the c. i assume the 1950s. so you see, this is not the 1st time that the u. s. is meddling into chinese sovereignty. i like what just and he just mentioned before about hong kong. you see what happened in hong kong is that china as she used to set back to

yeah, it's taken on do u. s. in the korean war, if the u. s. is thinking that china bluff, it's making a huge mistake. i'm slew though. secretary lincoln has said that if nancy pelosi does visit and china responds, the responsibility for the escalation will lie entirely on beijing. how convincing is not argument well this the usual la rhetoric. busy i personally focus on action, there's lots of was actually being exchanged, especially coming from the u. s. side. they become not trustable. i would just focus on action. the single fact that l o z, nancy pelosi e might be on the island of taiwan. that that is a very dangerous escalation and we are, we are heading to was a hot war as, as any amount of time. it's still, it seems like it's no more like if it's more like a win alfred the u. s. has suffered a number of reputation said products in recent times from afghanistan to latin america, pushing back recently, saudi arabia not conceding to us. the models to increase production significantly in energy is pelosi visit. and the attempt to show that

i think the u. s. views every country as an asset or tool or a vehicle toward something else you. ukraine is discovered this, right, the us really push them into this war, which is a bit out or in the program here on our team during our special role in coverage. i discussed pelosi visit as high one as a part of her whole asia to the discussion with a corresponded ortiz, rachel blevins. hello. he's finally touched down there. you know, even even in the face of all of this rhetoric from china, hello, she apparently had to make a visit. what are your expectations now that she's here? you know, she released that statement right after she touched down and which she claim that she was there to support were she referred to as taiwan vibrant democracy. she also went as far as to say that she does not believe that she is in violation of the one china policy, which is absolutely not how beijing sees it is not what they have worn again and again, when it came to the lead up to this proposed visit now as far as h

and the u. s. again came in as it did with ukraine in 2014 and said, oh yeah, we're going to destroy this relationship and would you get in return? nothing you get some promises from nancy pelosi, you know, take those to the bank. right. i mean, again, trying to make sense of it is very difficult. andy, i'm going to be a little provocative right now. well, at the biden administration is walking away from the one china policy so tiny can to, i mean, it's kind of a get out of jail free card. okay. you, you don't, you want to adhere to it? why should beijing go ahead? well, this is a very complex, dangerous situation, peter. so the cornerstone of china us relations is taiwan, and the taiwan policy, the one, the one china policy, the one china principal. so i don't think that china would walk away. the issue here is this. i completely agree that there are parallels between the ukraine situation, the taiwan situation in that the u. s. is looking to use both as the proxy to contain those that it sees as

the u. s. department of defense has not ruled out that ukraine's forces are firing near the territory according to media reports. that's a mid one sided, western media coverage of the situation. although russia says it's ready to provide evidence of ukraine's action. meanwhile, residents of the upper osha region are asking them to stop key of shelling of the plant which is endangering the safety of millions of lives. we spoke to steve gill, a radio host and political commentator, who says that the west is perfectly aware who is showing the plant. it's just not in their interest to confirm it. from the beginning, the us media has really kind of advocated any journalistic integrity in covering the sounds like which is why you've seen propaganda from both sides get, get a lot of play and not a lot of journalists on the ground reporting what's actually going on. the i e, a should be there immediately. i mean, there should be an all hands on deck, death time, 5 kind of level of getting people in th

the u. s. military is good at the attacking sheepherders, but not a major power like china and i, i wonder if people in the pentagon and in their woke seminars are realizing this. go ahead, andy. well this is again i think what makes this saw such a grave and dangerous hydration because i think on the one hand of u. s. military of course recognizes the risk that it faces. every senior military official has said that the u. s. i cannot count on winning. of course the factors you mentioned that taiwan being so close to the mainland. trump said this as well, but also they need to consider the rapid advances that the players made over the last 20 or 30 years since the last high one straits crisis. also strategically, i'll use a bruce lee quote here. so bruce lee said, i do not fear the man who knows 10000 kicks, but i do fear the man who has practiced one kick, 10000 times. and with this means here is that the u. s. screens for missions all around the world in the middle east, in latin america in

u. s. to class the death of the alleged mastermind of the $911.00 attack. my direction. united states successfully concluded nurse try and keyboard can stand and kill the mirror, a little card. to him on our president joe biden says, a drones try, can the afghan capital killed the reclusive terrorist? come on that also coming up tensions over a possible stop. over in taiwan, taiwan, government sources say us how speak and nancy pelosi will visit the island during asia. trip. china has threatened a military response. the white house says beijing is overreact. ah, i'm and you can see mckinnon. welcome to the program. the united states says that it has killed the leader of al qaeda. i am anal though a harry and a drone strike in afghanistan. he was one of the founders of the terrorist group and had been in hiding for more than a decade. u. s. official said the cia carried out an operation on sunday, targeting the man they believe was central to planning the $911.00 attacks in the heart of thi

so the u. s. government is under pressure, so they using penalty, they say when she, she went on your own and so on. do not do not bind to this. you know, this is she was actually the right candidate because they can shift the blame on her. but if you look, there is a consistent track record of undermining the one china policy. and the ultimate goal is to complain china the same as you had rand corporation papers. they were talking about non wiggle, how to contain russia. you know, daniel, do you say a parallel to ukraine with this? because you and i've talked extensively on this program about ukraine. and on december 17th, a russia sent a note to nato into the united states saying this is a red line. this is the terms and conditions you, you are aware of our intentions now, and they completely blew it off and they're like, blowing this off as well. is it always says nancy on her farewell to her? i mean, you know, i mean i, that, that's not good enough. and if i were the chinese, i wouldn't accep

she is completely disregarding counseling from the u. s. u. s. military leaders council not to go, because the wrong time me and she completely disregarded the repeated waldis by the chinese government. because china says our visit will hollow out the one china policy will be in violation of the one china policy and will really cause more damage to china us relations. so she is today and tonight she troublemaker in the whole world because she disregarded sanity judgment. and the rash analogy in pursuing her personal goals in taiwan. whether she wanted to use this visit to hide the fact or the husband is appearing cold in the united states. that's another matter. but i think people in this part of the world, people on both sides of the tower straight, do not want to see nancy pelosi because she does not have and the legitimate business in the try, not area. even the cross straight relation is what she breathes is only bad news and disaster she made really grow a big wedge in the china, us relations on the white hands and in the cross street rela

and it wasn't just the u. s. the u . k. foreign office admitted last month and it made a number of mistakes in its own exit from the country. included on that list was the fact that the, you case, foreign secretary at the time was on holiday and didn't take the afghan foreign ministers call when he reached out for help with with the benefit of hindsight, of course it's easy to say but, and i wouldn't have going on holiday, let alone, and we've come home on the government. the u. s. had been propping up for nearly 2 decades, was also supported by an embassy that housed around $4000.00 and diplomats contractors and staff who provided a false sense of confidence even though they were relying on the intent security provided by the u. s. military. but then again, they didn't invade scanning and looking to learn about the country. instead, the mission they claim to have was to force american values on the people. and after 20 years it has become clear that they still haven't learned about the country they occupied for. so long

u . s. energy secretary jennifer granholm has instructed the nation's top refiners, including exxon shelby p and chevron, to refrain from exporting fuel at a time when america is european allies are in deep need, given the historic level of u. s. refined product exports. i again urge you to focus in the near term on building inventories in the united states, rather than selling down current stocks and further increasing exports. granholm sighted quote, historically low inventory levels of gasoline and diesel in parts of the country as the justification for looking out for america's interests. first, the last thing, the biden and the democratic party need right now heading into the november mid term elections is a fuel shortage. that risks handing victory to the republicans, brussels was led straight down the garden path by washington and sanctioning its own cheap gas supply from russia. recalled back on june 27th, that the e u and the white house issued a joint statement saying that they we

while the u. s. department of justice claims they ran, attempted to murder former national security adviser, john bolton iranian hackers of also attempted online fishing operations on members of a u. s. non profit dedicated to stopping iran's nuclear capability. that's according to a new article in the online magazine dispatch. the threat existed from the very beginning. it's just gotten more and more pervasive. the threats to americans are multiple, pervasive, and systematic. i'm not aware of any time in our history that a hostile foreign government is systematically and pervasively targeting attacks on american soil against americans. meanwhile, justice department officials release documents that they say prove failed attempts to murder bolton. that's as iran cancels a demand that the islamic revolutionary guard corps be removed from the u. s. department's list of terrorist organizations, which signifies a step towards a new deal. christopher holly, political analysts and researcher says one of th

the u. s. senators. very often believe that individually. ready or many that all the world and then ship that addiction which the world would go. now they will take a moral high ground to say that they are the defenders of human rights. look at the issue of racism in the next 2 years. have you been able to solve my 1st a 10 to their own problems? look at the shooting that constantly in schools in more than streets. innocent people are being children are being killed. but there's no consciousness of this. even if some other countries yeah. can point out all these things to the united states, you know, they don't control the international information is controlled by the west and his agency. so this is all kind of a posturing and show and embarrassing in the best of use that against us. and behind this, let me tell you, is our position on the ukraine crisis. they are very unhappy that we haven't condemned russia. we haven't voted against russia. and this is one way that certain lobbies in the uni

the u. s. medias reporting on an american man who apparently committed suicide during a memorial service for his fallen brother killed during last years. polite. the 20 rule corporal was among 13 american servicemen who lost their lives in a suicide bomb attack near kibbler port. the incident happened while large crowds of people were trying to flee the afghan capital. well, new details on the failures of the u. s. retreat have emerged in a leak reports at that is courtesy of the u. s. foreign 1st committee. republicans on reportedly claims that were just $36.00 state department officials on the ground at copolla report a year ago to deal with the thousands. remember those pictures thousands of people desperately trying to get out of the country and even 12 months on there are reportedly full tens of thousands of off got stuck in the country waiting for special immigration visas. u. s. congress and michael mc fall, criticize the disconnect between us intelligence services. there was less of li

the u. s. says there were no other casualties. the u. s. of long insisted. there's a relationship between the taliban and al qaeda. but taliban leaders have denied that. now with this killing and downtown cobble, it will be difficult at the very least, to deny that a fraction of the government dropped it out to a safe haven. think this is a proud moment for joe biden, tempered only by the fact that it took place in cobble which thus raises the spectre of the withdraw from afghanistan. and of course, the terrorist organizations clearly reestablishing themselves or that the attack took place, just as the afghan government is in negotiations to free $3500000000.00 in foreign reserves. it desperately needs to feed its people. there's also a focus of some and i'm, i would where joe biden is in need of good news to quell domestic critics of, of handling of the u. s. economy, and following a trip to the middle east received mixed reviews. the white house is clearly relishing this news. she advertised the al jazeera washington. this is where that drones strike happe

u. s. service man killed during the guy withdraw has taken his own life during a memorial service. back in 2021. during the chaotic us withdrawal from honest on 28 year old dakota husbands, brother was among 13 american servicemen who died in a suicide bomber attacking the campbell airport. republican congressman mike waltz has demanded the accountability for the loss of life during the pullout. u. s. foreign affairs committee republicans are reportedly deeply critical of washington's plans on execution of the africa withdrawal in their leaked report. as we understand, there are potentially tens of thousands of africans still allegedly stuck in the country waiting for special immigrant phases. they were allegedly early, $36.00 state department officials on the ground at cobble airport a year ago. they were there to help those on the list to get out. and us congressman michael mccaul, criticized the disconnect between us intelligence and the white house. there are many since if you will tho

so the u. s. it's not a while to hold up by lateral community, but also international principles under the u. n. framework. so do you think that these new military journals by china could finally force the us to stay away from tie one i tell you this is to show that china has the capacity to defend the integrated and us oriented as so there is no so called a international water, there's no so called the michel line across the highlighted states. so the u. s. actually need and should respect to the current it, not just the china and all the members in the international static. as you said, washington keep saying it fully respects the one china principal on paper. right. and yet it continues to send military support to tie one. is there a possibility for an arm conflict between washington and beijing? well, i think i was able to, we, we have down not a to, to have these because these are sorry, rise to defend us. us are indeed actually it's not depends on trying to national security and entries, but

a u. s. official says i am unable to why harry was identified on multiple occasions. spending time on the balcony of the house where he was eventually struck early on sunday morning. now we have eliminated the mirror of al qaeda. he will never again, never again allow of kingston to become a teacher. so shaven because he is gone and we're going to make sure nothing else happens. you know, i can't be a launching providence united states. we're going to see to that won't happen. the gyptian bones a why harry was osama bin laden's, right hand man before lay to succeeding him as head of al qaeda. the u. s. says he was actively involved in planning the september 11th attacks in the us, as well as other al qaeda operations, including 2 u. s embassy bombings in east africa in 1998. and the attack on the u. s. s. cole warship in yemen, in 2000. following the strike that killed him, the taliban accused the u. s. a violating international principles and the door agreement. but for the americans, it's

ah, a with the u. s. c's no issues with his house because visiting ty, one which is apparently said to do on tuesday, despite china seeing the move as a breach of its sovereignty in china will certainly take a resolute response and effective countermeasures to suit guarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. we need bricks, the algerian president says, the countries ready to join the alternative rapidly growing economic block. that's in contrast to us, late alliances, which appear to be losing global influence. opec's equity general describes russia as in point home in the alliance. this despite continuing western sanctions on moscow's crude and r t visits moscow's new neon facility. as russia ram stopped with production and made an acute global shortage of semiconductors with good morning it's just got 5 am in the russian capital from where we joining your live. this tuesday morning, i'm policy and it's a pleasure to be with you for you a says that sees no problem and the potential visit of it is how

we know that the u. s. the sale the u. s. s. a ronald reagan carrier aircraft group into the region. is it possible that could ultimately be some sort of head, but thank you, right. i don't think there will be an immediate reaction, at least direct action against the united states. china is definitely going to carry out military drills to show what it's capable of, and particularly in that region. but i don't, i think china's response will be more concentrated then nancy pelosi visit was because it is a clear publication whose purpose is really cannot be described in any other way as a provocation. so i think china's retaliation will come, but it and it may not necessarily be military. the china has several economic weapons and she could use for starters, got a good. so you have a reserves, and he was dollar down offer to buy more resources in the currencies that are now coming up, including the rubel. so there are lots of economic tools that china can, can use. and i think the jim ping plays a better chess game than the u. s. s

and yet you, the u. s. was caught unaware, and completely off guard to the commander of us forces in afghanistan. alerted the pentagon. cobble could be surrounded within 30 days, on alarming prediction. that turned out to be way off. what he's talking about here is a failure of intelligence that we saw across the world we saw in washington. you know, the pentagon had no idea this was happening. but for people who signed up to serve their nation, they're now looking at their commander in chief as a national disgrace is a national nightmare. however, what the us learn the hard way with that, just because it spent nearly $90000000000.00 training, the afghan defense and security forces did not mean that their army of around $300000.00 would be able to take on the taliban without the u. s. military there to support them. and yes, that's despite the claims made by the biden administration, that they just needed to strengthen their unity and political will in order to succeed. ultimately, the african national secu

what's in it for the u. s, why would you poke a belligerent, already belligerent beijing at, with this other time of? i can't remember really for years at the time of such high, at global, problematic times. really, i know this is just going to add to that. and we know that the us military said it was not a good good idea, really a good timing, at least for pelosi to go here. and how she ignored that. had she other high profile meetings before that, that was okayed by the military. because of course you've a lot of a u. s. military in that region. i was suppose that will be on higher risk killer. know have their lives been put in more heightened and risk as, as, as a result of this as well. it's very hard to know the modifications here as well. and nancy pelosi just going through the diplomatic rigmarole there of the photo, the photos off of their her width. i would imagine at the leaders, the just waiting to see actually who does exactly turn up from at taiwan here. i imagine here of this military report, it

u. s. is very much caught up in the nato response to russia's vision of ukraine. probably not wise to pursue a 2 front r geo political crisis. but it speaker policies decision. it represents also the will and support of many american people. but as childrens towards taiwan, but you have the military say, it wasn't good timing this at all. oh that president biden stated, and we don't know what exactly was communicated, that he was advised by the military, that this would be an unwise decision, but that's president biden statement. we don't know what the military is actually decided, but we do know that to protect our members of congress, we've seen a significant deployment of naval assets and air assets with a aircraft carrier, ronald reagan in the waters, and also a number of aircraft from oaken. our and japan to defend american lawmakers who are legally and lawfully going to taiwan and being welcomed by the taiwanese government . right. but that wouldn't be happening unless they were acti

the u. s. is largest employer has announced it will expand its abortion coverage to all medically necessary procedures while also reimbursing travel costs of the announcement by wal mart effects. it's more than 1600000 employees across the us. it's a change from its previous policy of only covering abortions in cases where the mother's health was endangered. the policy would still fall short of those of some other companies, which cover all abortions, many u. s. dates are rushing to banned the procedure following a supreme court ruling. let's good out against corporate in new york, jens, walmart, a big player in the stock exchange in the u. s. economy, why is it changing his policy now? yeah, and it clearly, it is a big company, as you mentioned, to employing around one and a half 1000000 people in the u. s. alone. and was that being the biggest private employer in the country? i mean, they're not covering all abortions, but still that is a big step for a company that size walmart itself actual

and that's why the u. s. military has moved its own carrier into the area as a warning to trying to make clear they are ready to protect nancy pelosi but also that they are reaffirming that they're standing behind taiwan. but they're already regular. so many pools on that u. s. relationship with china, and many observers here say that if this goes by, if this trip goes by without a serious retaliation from china without further military escalation, besides the drills that we've seen china carrying out a very close to taiwan and some saying even in ty, ones, aerospace, if that is the past without another serious escalation, they believed that this could be perhaps just another irritant or another pull on that relationship, but that it will remain fairly frosty between china and the u. s. the other reading of course, is that we could see another escalation from china, further escalation, the u. s. responding. and we could see this, this relationship as i said, which is already is seen as frosty, descending eve

james exec worried a u. s. businesses about this rise intentions between china and the united states. there is indeed some concern from u. s. businesses about these escalating centers between the u. s. and china, mostly from u. s. businesses that obviously are doing business with china because they quite frankly, don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. but to quickly put your note to quickly answer this, put yourself in the shoes of the u. s. business owner, you're doing business with china and the leader of your government for the 1st time in 25 years, enters taiwan. and china has already said that it warns of this visit being extremely dangerous. you might be playing with fire. and if you're a company doing business with china here in the us, that's something that cannot be looking too good in your near term forecast. especially with policy saying that this trip is to this trip to taiwan, is to promote america's solidarity with taiwan. while also carrying while also needing to express the concerns of chi

the u. s. c's little issue with the potential touch that but china has labeled to move a breach of its sovereignty when they say so if we would like to warn the u. s. side, once again, that the chinese side is ready. the chinese people's liberation army will never sit idly by in china will certainly take a resolute response and effective countermeasures to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. and so if the speaker does decide to visit and china tries to create some kind of crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on beijing. well, let's have a look at what a lot of people are looking at today. the most tract aircraft, in fact, in the world right now, you can see that the chat with nancy pelosi moodily on board, took off from qual and per on the snow. while similarly heading towards ty, one after earlier visits to singapore and malaysia. the rest of her trip and to japan and south korea. but although stops, i've been overshadowed by the potential visit to ta
