r u. s. president joe biden has declared an energy emergency saying potential power shortages jeopardize national security on the quality of life of americans. find and has blamed russia on the climate change for the looming crisis thing, the us might not be able to generate enough power to fulfill consumer demand. multiple factors are threatening the ability of the united states to provide sufficient electricity generation to serve expected customer demand. these factors include disruptions of energy markets caused by russia's invasion of ukraine and extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. and the pentagon has added fuel to the fire, saying that china could undermine us national security, 3 beijing's control of key global supplies of ram, minerals vital for the production of american military electronics policy is caleb morgan, explain when it comes to rare earth minerals. china has the market cornered, almost 90 percent. and at this point, we've got a member of congress comin

the u . s. will only send rockets with a range of 80 kilometers ah, rocks with however, an anonymous official started by the new york times that even from 80 kilometer distance, ukrainian forces could still hit russian territory. if firing near the buddha, the officials at the u. s. would rely on a promise from presidency lensky that they weaponry would not be used to it. to attack russia. one senior administration official acknowledged that even the rockets with a 48 mile limit could be used to attack targets inside russia if the system was brought to the ukraine. russia border. but the official said that ukraine's government had assured the united states that would not happen. i know, would lose people on united states or saying were someone in the white house or saying that we might be using them to talk russia. look, we're not, we're planning to attack russia. we're not interested in russian federation. we're not fighting on their territory. despite ukraine's president promising not to attac

u. s. coal on here to make concessions to moscow as a retired us general says ukraine lacks the military capability to defeat russia. there is no way that the great ends will ever have enough combat power to keep the russians out of ukraine as well. and so what does that look like in the, in game is in 10 fighting continues in ukraine, r t follow the russian forces using drones to locate an attack ukrainian positions . right now, they're anticipating a command that would mean that the russian artillery will ahead. the coordinates that they will provide them provide to goes well behind the big guns. and the u. s . provides training and equipment for almost every saudi unit engaged in the bombing of yemen. thus, despite numerous accounts of civilian death, as according to a newly released study with moscow to the world, this is our international. my name is peter scott. wherever you jordan is from. welcome to the program. rushes foreign minister said again love. rob's plunge. trip to serbia

no u. s. joint communiques stop any form of official exchanges between the united states and taiwan. andrew stop signing agreements of a sovereign connotation and official nature with taiwanese merchants and refrain from sending any wrong signals to the separatists. forces of the high won independence tools you home just ship with these strong statements. follow the announcement on wednesday of the u. s. taiwan initiative on 21st century trade, which aims to deep and economic and trade relations between the 2 countries. a point that was underscored by illinois, senator tammy duckworth during a joint press conference held with ty, once president sighing, when i do want to say that it is more than just about military, it's off of the economy and i'm here to support the president. our president biden's efforts in engaging in economic relationships and close religion, occupations on an economic front, as well as on national security. the deal came just days after the biden administration excluded

so that the so that, that the u. s. can bring all of its vassals together and take power of attorney for the e. u and for their foreign policy. but basically saying for the most part, libya or whatever country were angry at do what we tell you, or we will use our power to destroy you. and now the u. s. empire has run up against a, another world power which has grown powerful enough to say no. and the u. s. doesn't know how to deal with that. and the interesting thing is that the u. s. and nato are committing economic suicide. they are swallowing poison and waiting for russia to die. and that's not going to happen. daniel, you know, we hear all we hear about the rules based order. if you know what that means, please tell me because i cannot figure out what it means. okay. it really, every day that comes out of the state department, now i need a translator because i have no idea what they're talking about. but, you know, yeah, let's talk about the rule of law. you know, seizing of private individuals, properties and seizin

u. s. in israel unleashed the stuck net virus on iranian nuclear facilities. it destroyed 1000 centrifuges in the uranium enrichment facility, a virtual attack with physical consequences. and it opened pandora's box from then on many countries would equip themselves with cyber armies. since then, everybody has really pursued this, this disruptive, destructive capability. ah, robert lee served for a long time in the u. s. air force. and briefly with the essay. after stuck net, he warned that the u. s. 2 was vulnerable to cyber attacks. as i kind of raised that point up in the government at the time just in the department offense in the air force, a lot of people are like, what are, what are controls us? what, what do you mean? like i all the stuff that we use, like whenever we don't use the same stuff that use in iran. yeah. of course we do actually it's, it's ubiquitous. and, and you could tell, there was this moment for a lot of them were, it was just crazy to think about the blow back ef

the u. s. entered into shifting alliances with other armed forces like here in burundi. shown rick. fate was among those who carried out secret missions. with the help of the local military. he was tasked with preventing an assassination attempt being planned on bernardino president, according to ca, information it, but it did work. how i can't he doesn't talk about his other missions. there are reasons for secrecy. when us soldiers get killed, their deaths have to be reported. they have military funerals. there. they come back in flag draped coffins when contractors die. nobody really cares for years. i used to track the number of contractor deaths and it was very, very difficult to, to do it. i mean, in some ways, i also knew that was being used for plaza deniability because i was doing very risky operations that they went poorly. the u. s. could disavow me, they said they never would, but we all knew that's easy for them rather than rescue me. they're called kite operations where you can cu

the u. s. central bank has raised its key interest rates marking the biggest one time increase in decades. the federal reserve raise the rate by 3 quarters of a percentage point pushing its benchmark rate to arrange a between $1.00, a 1.75 percent. the height which will affect consumer and business loans, is this 3rd since march, and the biggest and almost 30 years. we spoke to economics. professor jack robins, investment manager, mitch fireside optimism about the move was in short supply from both met they feel they've um, almost lost control of inflation and the markets and investors have been pushing the fed and the government to get more aggressive to raise rates. and that's what's really behind all this, but you know, it's interesting. i listen to jerome this morning, you know, and the chair with a chair and he indicated that, wow, this is really about doing something about demand driven inflation. and you ask, is the fed really can't do anything about supply? well, the problem is supply i

the u. s. joe biden suspended sales last year and promised the u. s. would stop supporting offensive saudi operations. still the maintenance contracts for re ads, instruments of death, just keep on coming. the investigation shows that only 39 air force units from the saudi m. muradi led coalition could have conducted airstrikes in yemen. and that during 7 years of war, the u. s. approved contracts that likely benefited 38 of the 39 air strike units. arms training and technical maintenance all provided by the u. s. weapons industry have aided the majority of saudi arabia's fighter jet squadron to carry out war crimes. since 2015 human rights groups investigating the airstrikes have identified more than 300 that violated or appeared to violate. international law, as us supplied and service to military hardware continues to make an already terrible humanitarian crisis, even worse, washington's throwing billions of dollars in age to those who are being bomb. the united states remains committed to delivering aid to the most vulnerable in yemen, funding gaps

so the u. s. essentially has back itself into a corner, its policies are so absurd and contradictory that no one is going to follow them. no one can even figure out what the even mean. so the us actually finding itself and growing minority. and meanwhile, garland is totally right. the, the economy is, is, is imploding. and that's the new york times that said yesterday the day before. i mean, the sanctions have completely backfires. so this is, this is one of the really most agree just screw ups in foreign policy, u. s. foreign policy of the last 20 or 25 years and that, and considering that includes the invasion of afghanistan and iraq. that is saying a great deal, bruce. i mean, how is current us strategy nato strategy? european union strategy ultimately helping ukraine, because i have noted on this program a number of times, the more the west helps ukraine, the smaller it gets, and it's the smaller its population becomes bruce. why mean one obvious answer is, is it the united states and the west

the u. s. intelligence community is confident that the russian government directed the recent compromises of emails from us, persons and institutions, including from us political organizations. the recent disclosures of alleged hacked emails are consistent with the methods and motivations of russian directed efforts . these thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the u. s. selection process. given the confidence the obama administration express, one would think that they had obtained prove the claims made by contract. so then one of the emails from october, 13th, 6 days after that statement was made, show the crown strike still has not handed over the evidence. they claim to ha, our team is in the process of gathering this data now, and we'll just need to know where the f b. i would like this data to be sent. it's also notable the statement from the intelligence community wasn't a mistake or the work of a single agent. as former d h s. secretary j. johnson testified before congre

ready which u. s. foreign policy is applied, we can see that the u. s. has not fallen short of sanctions against states like russia or iran, or you named several other states where they have enacted sanctions. and yet with the killing of a u. s. citizen with the repeated violations of human rights, we never see the u. s. move to that result. so again, we see the hypocritical nature of this foreign policy and something that americans like myself have been demanding change on for decades. all right, only get avi intelligence. let me come back to you and find out more about some of the work your organization has been doing. tell us more about what your group has seen and documented when it comes to the treatment of palestinians by israeli forces. what kind of instructions or orders do is ready soldiers receive when they're operating any occupied palestinian territory. and is there a difference between the orders they receive and what actually happens on the ground? no, thank you fully a, it's a, it's a very broad question. i think maybe one of the best ways

did investigate the u. s. u. s. is made sure the international law does not apply to the united states. it does not care about the humanitarian cause of the tours of the u. s. knew all along it back, samantha power, who was instrumental and making sure the u. s. would not be investigated or crimes any. and she herself, years ago, predicted that millions of p m. and could die due to the war. but that didn't change her course of action didn't change the u. s. course of action and it won't because they don't care. us president has been slammed by big oil companies after you requested a ramp up production to tackle gasoline prices that have almost doubled since last year. but the stress response wasn't exactly what the white house wants to hear. while we appreciate the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the white house, the administration's misguided policy agenda, shifting away from domestic oil and natural gas has compounded inflationary pressures and added headwinds to companies. daily efforts to meet growin

the u. s. is not a member of the international criminal court. it is in fact sanctioned the international criminal court. when it said it was going to investigate the us for crimes and an afghan, a stand the u. s. under george w bush actually passed the law that said the u. s. could bomb the a, give the i c c. did investigate the u. s. us is made sure the international law does not apply to the united states. it does not care about the humanitarian cause of the tours of us knew all along effects, samantha power, who was instrumental and making sure the u. s. would not be investigated or crimes . any and she herself years ago, predicted that millions of p. m, and could die due to the war. but that didn't change her course of action didn't change the u. s. course of action and it won't because they don't care. china has overtaken the us as the foreign pow with the most positive influence in africa. that's according to a poll among young adults in the continent. the survey was conducted among 18

did investigate the u. s. u. s. is made sure the international law does not apply to the united states. it does not care about the humanitarian cause of its wars. the u. s. knew all along it back, samantha power, who was instrumental and making sure the u. s. would not be investigated or crimes any. and she herself, years ago predicted that millions of p. m. and could die due to the war. but that didn't change her course of action didn't change the u. s. course of action and it won't because they don't care. does it for me? this are i was back in about 32 minutes is another full and freshly newsday with us, or 10 to national. ah, i ah, when i was showing wrong when i just don't know, i have to shape out. this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. awe. on february, the 24th 2022, russia launched a special military operation in ukraine. the campaigns 1st major battle was an operation to bring the city of murray. you pu

so the u. s. has always had the gold, you know, either it's either on the surface or it's working just below of destroying russia. re eliminating it as a global power, reducing it to a minor, saturate be. and that's what we're seeing now. i mean, russia doesn't, russia doesn't trust the west for a good reason, because the west is out to, to cut russia down and go garland the same thing to you because i thought this is all about democracy. ok. i said, i always hear, you know, we have to make these countries democratic whole by the way as we speak right now. ukraine is a military hunter. and if during this week, the last major opposition party was banned and now there's one television station, but they keep talking about democracy garland go ahead in washington. well, and that's pretty much absurd in that the united states over through the government of ukraine and install the puppy government. and so how could you both overthrow and control the country and argue that it's democratic? at the same ti

what the u. s. government did to avoid heavy scrutinise, sell the missiles in parts, thereby by possible the bureaucracy. we didn't sell them a missile, they claim we sold them pots and with instructions on how to put them together, all hands are keen. the state department had been selling p gm's in component parts, so that each individual transfer fell below the threshold, requiring congressional approval. over the last 8 years. saudi arabia has made something of a habit of launching air stripes at big gatherings, so weddings and funerals and market places. plenty of times who the rebels in yemen have found the remains of us supplied munitions at the scenes. rockets and missiles bombs made in america, yet somehow the united states has been unable to do the same. it turns out if you don't even try, you won't find anything wrong. centcom officials told that they do not know how d o d security cooperation officials in saudi arabia and u e would obtain the information necessary to determine whether u.

and the u. s. provides training and equipment for almost every saudi unit engaged in the bombing yemen us despite numerous accounts of civilian death. that's according to a newly released study with moscow to the world. this is our t international. my name is peter scott. wherever you jordans from. welcome to the program. rushes, foreign minister said again, love. rob's plunge. trip to serbia has been cancelled. that says neighboring states, bulgaria, north macedonia, and montenegro refused to let his plane fly through the air space. the news came just the hours before the scheduled meeting between russia's diplomats answered the president, alexander, who church in belgrade. the russian foreign ministry has confirmed the closure thing. it's another line of communication that's been cut off the serbian president is expected to address the matter later on monday. the western arm supplies to ukraine are aimed at dragging out the conflict spells for bloody mir putin has said in his 1st full interview

now the u. s. secretary of defense saying that literally within the next few weeks, ukraine is going to happen. capability of firing long range missiles and what we've really got a sense of today is nato allies really doubling down on their support for ukraine when it comes to weaponry. and key of has been insisting house in it that it needs more and more weapons from the west. how's that going down? know them well they've, they've obviously got what they wanted. know, but from other countries and didn't. what's the sense that they're there, they're being facilitated to the extent that ukraine wants. what's really interesting, as we have heard of the last few days, this figure being bandied around that ukraine isn't getting 10 percent. yeah. what's been promised? and that's the question that has been put over and over to officials, nato allies across the globe. that in fact, our question was put to the defense secretary from the u. s. to day. and he responded to that 1st of all by saying who his t

the u. s. makes its biggest interest rates high in almost 30 years. that's an attempt to rein in ramp inflation and contracts with billions of roubles on new agreement on corporation. those are just to the highlights of the opening day of the st. petersburg, international economic forums with much more to come as the events which these thousands of the piece gather, enters its 2nd date with july from the russian capital and broadcasting to the world. this is our see international peter scott. and he's the top stories this hour, and we start off with the latest from ukraine. a civilians who have died in ukrainian rockets. it's hard on little guns republic. thus, according to local officials, most of the casualties were in the city of stuck on. as fighting continues an official from ukraine's ruling party admits to u. s. media that 1000 ukrainian soldiers are being either killed or wounded every day in the dom bus. meanwhile, russia has accused of violating a cease fire by disrupting a humanitari

u. s other western countries continuing their arm supplies to kia if what's going on there? why did the virgins, of course, that they're there, they're continuing those because they fed the, the sly, the people that if we are you grand, it's going to, when they caught suddenly over, not stop with all these supplies and shipments and say, look, that they are changing anything they're just, they're just dragging these conflicts out. nevertheless, that, that look, many people have this illusion that all these weapons that is said to ukraine. they end up with the frontline than they used against russia. most, i would say most never reach the front lot. every day they are targeted that the sure this is something that the media and the western military outlets of concealed from the public. and out of those the reach the front lines, pledge via also captured by, by russian forces and slowly, slowly, ever so soon. the media is starting to admit that you know, everything is in fine and dandy as the

u. s. and other countries are aimed at replacing cubes, losses in military equipment. there's nothing new in this. it actually changes nothing more. unmanned aerial systems that actually perform strikes can only be effective. so if there are no military id system present and we see what we do have them as you book the thought, the pansy, or on 3 st. louis effects. if not that i want to offend anyone, but the systems are cracking these vehicles like them not when you're below dozens of them have already been destroyed and we'll just go ok. i think will this fuss around extra supplies the crate. there's only one goal that is to drag out the military cold as long as you understand long range missiles are supplied, it will force us to make a decision and use our means destruction, which we have now off to conduct the stripes. the facilities and we haven't done it so far, we're a meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has confirmed its forces have destroyed a number of tanks and of the militar

and who does some u. s. media outlets. the peters made a u turn in their coverage to the war and ukraine. and then criticizing washington for what's being called incompetent oversight in helping key f or t is caleb open picks up the story. the new york times is generally been quite support in the u. s. actions supporting ukraine. it's demonized. russia is celebrated. the relationship between us officials and the ukraine government. however, this latest article seems to indicate things between the united states and ukraine are not as cosy as you might have been led to believe. from what this latest article indicates, us officials are not receiving classified briefings and information about ukraine's upcoming military operations. ukraine is not sharing information with the states while ukraine continues to demand more weapons and funding. here's what a former senior us intelligence official had to say about us relations with the ukranian government. how much do you really know about how you green is doing? can you find a pers

i'm and d v u. s. central bank approved it's biggest interest rate hike and 3 decades in attempt to rein in searching price inflation. with around the clock across the world, this is r t from the team and myself, you know me. hello and welcome to the program. at least 7 civilians have been killed in ukrainian rocket attacks over the past 24 hours in the loop. ganske republic is according to local officials. most of the casualties were in this the 2nd off. while the city of dun yes has also suffered another day of shelling reports a must have explosions, were heard thrive theory on thursday and elsewhere in the done yet republic, 14 residential areas are reported to have come under fire, leaving one mom dead on another wounded dpr officials say the shelling was conducted with the use of multiple launch rockets systems and yet has been enduring, continuous shelling by key forces among the targets earlier in the week. a maternity hospital and in key of french liter money will mccrory house call for a peac

so the u. s. s. do the most powerful country in the world about an upcoming countries upcoming powers like russia, china, india, and the you are also coming onto the world stage as major players. so i think all the major players of the, of the whole world need to come together to talk. and this is where diplomacy comes into play. and, and talking of diplomacy, drinks by the washington will apply certain amounts of pressure to its allies in the pacific region. so maybe distance themselves from beijing. well, i think you just mentioned early the recent report by the rand corporation, it was quite to like actually it actually discussed about the proposed the u. s. deployment of the missiles in these countries. and so the conclusion from that report that research was that almost none of them is interested in that. and it's not, not because they are afraid of that, but a, but because they don't want to lose economic ties with china. because these proposed a missile deployment is actually aiming, containin

lee, a former u. s. secretary of state, henry kissinger said, the key does need to make concessions to moscow in order to prevent a di outcome to the conflicts. kissinger was late to add to the metaphor. it's website, which is ukranian. database of people considered to be enemies of the states. former pentagon security policy analyst, michael mullin, believes ukrainian armies losing and the key of should get back to negotiating table as this war continues on it's, it's turning into a into a slug fest and in which the ukrainians are losing dramatically even though the russians are 2 but the ukrainians have far fewer troops. the ukrainians can come to a certain point where they can see in effect, called foresee spire and negotiate at least they will still have forces to protect what's left of ukraine. otherwise it's going to be diminished even further. zalinski will not be able to take back all the territory and that the more that he commits troops and military logistics to fighting the russians, it will

the u. s. has been accused by iran for its support of israeli as a whole. thus, partly responsible for the crimes. when sanctions have been running high between iran and the u. s. emitted dead log in talks between terran unwilling powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. washington withdrew from the joint comprehensive plan of action in 2018 and has imposed waves of sanctions on the islamic republic. let's go live now christopher halle, a political analyst, and the search a welcome to art. see, christopher. what do you think of this ruling by the reigning court? thank you very much for having me. i think that this is the historic day. first of all, the united states and its courts for decades have ruled against iran to the tune of over $50000000000.00 for bogus claims of supporting terrorism. and for us citizens have been harmed, quote unquote, supposedly, by the iranian government. but today you run has returned the favor to the u. s. by ruling against the u. s. to the 24000000000 for the assas

. expected at india is an ally off the u. s. which is what got down to the u. s . lines on line on the embargo and russian id. but i think for the west to needs to understand 2 things. india and russia size has started. india has the suffering right? to do work is info, self interest, and india has fame and again done when something's justified. for example, with venezuela, with iran, it's worked, it's looked at along with the rest and long. but with russia, india, energy security settled in india needs to secure herself before moving on. and you know, if you wanna continue, so buying continue to buy import oil and gas from the show. so i think that india consumption do increase as much later than all of europe. and this is your 1st needs to reduce their purchases before they can make to india. and what you're doing with regards to russia. the rest has to deal with india. i think, you know, and then the 3rd part is it has to understand what constraints or destruction and we support it with the rest. but it, it seemed, and we cannot spoil our relationship, which

the u. s. has been accused by iran of his support of israel as a whole and he's the party responsible for those crimes sanctions have been running high between iran and the u. s. emitted deadlock insults between her on unwilling powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. washington withdrew from the joints comprehensive plan of action back in 2018 and since imposed waves of sanctions on the limit republic. we discussed the matter with political analysts and be search christopher holly, who believes that iran is frustrating the west with his independent policy. certainly there's a level of symbolism here and it's also symbolic in the sense that it continues to show that iran will not house out watching. then go to fill a view of it with its own path. it has its self determination, it has a sovereignty, and that's what makes you run such a thorn in the side of the west. the fact that iran with its own government and own evolution will not abide by the rest of the g. c p. away when the trump adminis

so the u. s. essentially has back itself into a corner, its policies are so absurd and contradictory that no one is going to follow them. no one can even figure out what the even mean. so the us actually fight itself and a growing minority. and meanwhile, garland is totally right. the, the economy is, is, is, is imploding. and that's the new york times that said yesterday the day before. i mean, the sanctions have completely backfires. so this is, this is one of the really most agree just screw ups in foreign policy, u. s. foreign policy of the last 20 or 25 years and that, and considering that includes the invasion of afghanistan and iraq. that is saying a great deal, bruce. i mean, how is current us strategy nato strategy? european union strategy ultimately helping ukraine because i have noted on this program a number of times, the more the west helps ukraine, the smaller it gets, and it's the smaller its population becomes bruce. well, i mean, one obvious answer is, is if the united states and

u. s. presidential biden says that he's now authorizing it new precision rockets for ukraine, capable of hitting targets, 80 kilometers away. that's down to current capacity. is part of a new $700000000.00 weapons package, straight from sam. bible was long, reluctant to provide these longer range weapons, given the risk of escalation. but now bivens launching self right across his own previously defined red line and going all in banking. everything on promises made by ukrainian officials not to use these long range weapons on targets inside russia . i know when people are in the united states are saying where someone in the white house are saying that we might be using them to tech rush up. it looks, we're not planning to attack russia. we're not interested in russian federation. we're not fighting on their territory. it's a bit like giving a teenager the keys to your for a because he promised you that he won't use it to speed by the road to new york times op ed this week that washington d

the u. s. supreme court deals a blow to the by the administration's fight against climate change. it rules that the country's environmental protection agency does not have the power to cap emissions from coal plants. also coming up russia abandoned a strategic island. it took from ukraine at the start of the war, pending back snake island in the black sea. after months of heavy fighting and the mystery of portugal vanishing sea horses, these waters were once home to the large, the world's largest population of sea horses will look at why the fish have now all but disappeared. ah, i'm only a niece of welcome to the program. the u. s. supreme court has ruled that america's environmental protection agency does not have the authority to limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal fired power plants. the ruling by the courts. conservative majority marks a setback in the biden ministrations, fight against climate change, means the white house will now have to work through a deeply divided congress in i
