the u. s. has confirmed it funding 31 abrams tanks earlier germany announced he would provide 14 of its most advanced left to tanks, flushing you much than i think mister chancellor, old german politicians and public figures for their willingness to strengthen the defense of europe, which is also a very powerful step by the united states. ukraine will receive abrams. thank you for the decisions that i thank mister president biden. personally, i thank congress. i thank every american family for the tangible strength of american global leadership glitched by the best with the key now as speed and volume. the speed of training our military, the speed of supplying tanks to ukraine, the amount of tank support. we have to form a fist of tank, a fist of freedom, which will not allow tyranny to rise again. maybe at least 3 palestinians have been killed. anti israeli forces rated the janine refugee camp in the occupied west bank eye. witnesses it a large number of security officers and to the camp from

and the u. s. has announced its sending at 31 abrams combat vehicles surgery hosted as recommended to step because on hansley krench capacity, the finished her turn achieve his strategic objectives. gave him franklin the most capable tanks in the world, are also extremely complex operated. maintain, sir, also given ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield. who would begin, will began to train ukraine troops on these issues of sustain logistical maintenance, soon as possible, to leverage tags to the fields. going to take time. time that we'll see, will use to make sure the credits are fully prepared. integrate the abram tanks in defense. the kremlin has dismissed the plan as absurd spokesman dmitri pet scoff said keith's allies were over estimating the benefits of sending tanks. he says the vehicles will burn like others have before. social media, john matter says it will reinstate former us president donald trump's accounts in the coming weeks.

the u. s. department of justice earlier stated it had see $30000000000.00 and assets from russian entrepreneurs. washington have already frozen $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank. back in april, president biden propose that congress ortho ry selling assets that belong to russian citizens. but u. s. law does not permit authorities to sell foreign own property economist and political analysts. i k hammer say the u. s. is going against its democratic principles. with such means. the most important thing is if you are not guaranteeing property ownership anymore under the u. s. law, then you destroyed the fundamentals of old democracy and free market economy that the united states and all the lease want to be we have we in germany have not forgotten that germany was sanctions but sanctioned by the us to. so does it mean that germans would be, could be see in the u. s. too many inhabitants from the l. e. will move away from the u. s. to because it will be too dangerous to keep an

. market economy or the u. s. freedom or the us democracy. the u. s. national guard is reportedly providing training to tie one's armed forces us washington's concerns over a perceived chinese threat growth. according to media reports, military training started in early 2022. when the time, when the president commented on the cooperation of the us national guard and ty pays defense forces, the american force is able to be mobilized the discretion of washington. the us national guard has also played a role in training the ukrainian military as well. and soldiers have been trained on the special program since 2014 by nato allies, to boost the combat readiness, cooperation. twinkie and the guard is said to remain strong. as the conflict continues. however, the vice chairman, the shanghai center for impact and international studies, nelson wong told our see, the washington priority isn't the interest of other countries in any way. all the one hand that us about the white house has been telling beijing that we do not support independence. i want we recogn

the u. s. had a triple a rating status on its securities and it became doubly by, by standard and poors. so the u. s. really paid a huge price for that kind of recalcitrance in not raising the debt ceiling. now, why is it that every politician wants to keep that around? why don't we just raise the debt ceiling to be 5 times the level of that that we have now to give it more room the way they do in 10, martin all or but. but the reason why is because every minority party and democrats, republicans together both realized they will be the minority. at some point, it gives the minority party united states leverage to get it's a political agenda across and pass legislation on. unfortunately, it puts the rest of the world at hostage to these domestic political battles. and so the political science of the debt ceiling is really what drives the discussion and the dynamics. no party will ever get rid of the u. s. that still it because it knows that if it's ever in the minority, it can hold up everything

seeing the u. s. is trying to force berlin sam to day stag deliveries are reminiscent of the wound. 1914. this means direct participation in the war. this seems to be the deeper reason why washington is so reluctant. on the subject of tag deliveries. beth forces its ally to make sacrifices like a vassal, while washington's efforts to get allies to sin, more lethal laid comes amid tough economic challenges in germany, which is facing rising prices and soaring energy built. despite what we've just heard, the u. s. secretary of state denies his country, is pressuring anyone to take action. germany suggested today that sir, he won't allow tanks to be sent to ukraine unless the u. s. senate and 1st i was the response to that. so on the question of, of tanks and for that matter, any women system, these are sovereign decisions for each country to make. well, we spoke to a member of the european parliament for the alternative for germany party. he says that while the u. s. is asking countries to send their to

so germany is basically been telling the u. s. i won't jump unless you do and the u. s. is looking at germany and saying no, you go 1st so they're both just kind of staying there at the edge of this cliff with no one willing to take the leap on this tank issue. now as recently as is week, never report citing senior pentagon officials, including under secretary for defense policy calling call, who said that washington simply wasn't ready to take that leave of sending tanks abram tanks to keep citing maintenance and training issues. now, even nato supreme allied commander, europe, or us, general christopher can volley said this week of western tanks, quote, there is not a particular weapon system that is a silver bullet. a balance of all systems is needed. so these statements by actual u. s. military experts clearly diverge from the ideologically driven take of politicians who keep framing western tanks as some kind of magic solution for military victory for ukraine over russian forces. on friday, zalinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministe

the u. s. and buster to the south american country has been meeting with peruse energy minister to talk about quote, issues in the mining sector. the very same on voice met the defense minister the day before, the qu, leading many to question the timing of the talks. the nation's natural resources have long been a target of the u. s. according to the us, the president petrocca steele, who drew attention to the issue, rights after december. the visit of the us ambassador to the government palace was neither unreasonable nor in favor of the country. it was to give the order to take the troops out to the streets and massacre my defenceless people. and incidentally, to leave the way clear for mining exploitation. peru is a key global producer of copper, silver and zinc. the mining sector mix up a significant part of the economy, accounting for some 10 percent of g d p. lena is also an export of liquefied natural gas, which shipments are heading to the e u. u. k and asian countries. latin america,

the u. s. must in show full responsibility for any serious consequence arise in both the world braced for war. as philosophy blatantly disregarded u. s. foreign policy and took its dig it beijing. china then launched 2 weeks of dramatic military exercises. the whole pacific region was put on to high alert, but war did not calm. china responded with economic measures and sanctions. the world was not impressed either. the deep us china, competition. that was not a surprise. but this collation of been shown in k one. yes, they were not indigent, and they were treated by an individual trouble. november's finality that bring the ty when is treated to breach at the age of a i wouldn't say a wall, but a lot of wall games. los is moved, not only threatened china, which considers the island to be a renegade province, but it also goes against long standing u. s. policy. the u. s. government says there's only one china and recognizes the government in beijing, but yet biden sad of the people's republic m

the u. s. federal reserve bank has been caught red handed, trying to toys the facts, as it clearly manipulated numbers and it's report focusing on global military spending. at 1st glance, the data seems to show that china spent more than $900000000000.00 on its military in 2021 which would far exceed the u. s. total of about 770000000000. but upon closer inspection, washington's defense budget is actually reflected on the right axis, while the military spending of china and other nations is shown on the left, which is a scale of much smaller numbers. now here is what the chart would actually look like for a proper and fair comparison. we can clearly see that washington spent the most on its military and 2021, totaling some $770000000000.00, leaving beijing in 2nd place at only $270000000000.00, which is more than 2 times lower. however, the u. i should spend even more on its war machine, at least that's according to an american military, industrial lobbyist who claims the country isn't ready fo

now this does come with the u. s. u k. in the u. imposed sanctions again, the same black boy over alleged human rights. as in bob ways, government has accused the western western professional partners group of seeking to cripple the country. the measures cause international bindings to cut ties with the south african country and has led to public unrest. many african leaders of stood up with bob way in recent years with calls of the un for the sanctions to be written moved, well, we heard from bob boy's information minister, he says, the country is open for business despite what she describes as weston attacks. when she said africa, the future must be built on equality between partners, not on economic pressure. this illegal sanctions. they're just not functions. like when you talk function, it's actually economics translation sub what is in threats of military envision which have been incessantly been manipulated. disgrace, our territory, integrity sanctions, if it economy. but sim, bob was innovative. police genius, his

and would bring the u. s. to negotiate, alan, do you see the major push factors being as res maria says, people escaping tara, getting away from a dictatorship? or is it the economic factors, the di, economic conditions that people are living and without hope of them improving in the near future? what is the major push back to them from cuba? there is no doubt that most of these are enormous migrants as they all over latin america. and i mean, you know, here in britain we also have experience masses increase in illegal immigration from people who are desperate to improve their life. now at the top of this, you have a price on someone talking about will have being on fire. but we should step back a little and say, well, who has set the cuban house on via and the cuban house has being set on fire, as you said in your introduction, not just through the most comprehensive and longer enduring of sanctions, of sanctions regime against one single country that you're not located against cuba, but since 2019 the trunk

the u. s. national guard is reportedly providing training to tie one's armed forces as washington's concerns over a perceived chinese threat. gross. according to media reports, military training started early last year. when the ty, when he's president commented on the cooperation of the national guard on, ty, pays defense forces. so the former is able to be mobilized on the discretion of washington. the national guards also play the role in training the ukrainian military as well helping to boost the combat readiness of troops in 2014 while cooperation between kiev and the u. s. military branches said to be remaining strong. the conflict continues asian effort, especially as nelson wong believes washington's priorities increasingly fail to take into account other country's interest. on the one hand, the u. s. without the white house has been telling beijing that we do not support independence. taiwan, we recognize the one china policy, but in the meantime, they're also, you know, creating a l

the u. s. president has met with the dutch prime minister, calling on his european ally to quote, meet the challenges of china. however, numerous media outlets report the u. s. has failed to persuade the no one's own should join its restrictions on exporting chip making technologies to china. the dutch company s m l is one of the largest global suppliers in the industry and beijing remains one. busy of its main clients. will washington impose the export controls on china back in october, claiming beijing could use semiconductors from making military systems on advanced weapons. but chips are widely used in almost every electronic device out there, including mobile phones, laptops, and microwaves. well let's get the thoughts on all this from the executive vice president of. busy the eurasia center. think tank, earl rasmussen earlier, most welcome. why do you think the netherlands is seemingly not keen to jump on board with the u. s. when it comes to restrictions on china? well, this is, it's a

the u. s. and germany. they announced that they wanted to send light tanks already yesterday. and today the 2 leaders, the u. s. president to bide and determine chancellor, all of shawls have had a phone conversation and after which it was announced that germany wilson, mart, or tanks. we don't yet know how many of those it has transpired that it might be dozens, it might be 60, we're not yet sure about the details. and it also will send another patriot system, one of which the u. s. has already promised before. what kind of equipment are we talking about here? so officially, the martyr is not a battle tank, which is what you, who has been asking for a while. it's a tank that has been in use in germany since the 1970 is which means since the cold war. but it is also used similarly to a battled, meaning that it is used on the front lines that it protects the soldiers fairly well. they can fight infantry that can fight other tanks as well. it has a cannon on, on top of it. it is a pretty sturdy b

b u. s. secretary of state came to ramallah in the west bank after a wave of violence that took the lives of both fellows, seniors and israeli. an intensified idea of military raids, especially in the council jeanine, in the north of the occupied west bank that made january the deadliest month for palestinians. and several years was at least 35 people killed. his meeting with lincoln president of bus said it is time for the international community to interfere adding the palestinian authorities ready to get back to peace negotiations with israel. but with conditions we are now ready to walk with the u. s. administration and the international community to restore political dialogue in order to add these railway occupation of the land of the state of palestine on the $967.00 borders with east jerusalem as its capital. that is meeting with abbas here in the am allah. blinking said, it is important to ensure that his rail is and palestinians have equal rights. but he did not make any comment on

so the u. s. empire is, is at the heart of, of so much of canadian foreign policy. and quite frankly, the heart of what bob gray, you know, if bob grey criticizes human rights, usually it's the human rights violations of some country that's in opposition to the u. s. empire. and he's very unlikely to criticize human rights violations taking place in countries that are aligned with the u. s. empire. so. so the u. s. some pirates, you know, a incredibly important and in understanding can inform pulse and u. s. empire is in most militaristic country in the history of humanity. and so i, of course, expressed that opinion to, to mr. mr. langley. many, thanks to speaking to us this evening when he appreciate your thoughts and your time. kate in journalist sounds activated 8 angler. not the central africa, whatever random force the find it a democratic republic of congo military jazz claiming is violated the countries as space with us as clashes between the congress army and 23 rebels allegedly supported

now other u. s. states have followed suit and pass laws regarding government devices issued at the state level. and now it appears that what we've been hearing from u. s. officials from media and from other voices in the united states. this claim regarding tick tock and it's supposed danger to national security. it's not exactly based in reality i, we're hearing that apparently the intelligence agencies didn't have any data on it themselves. they were simply following what was said by open sources and by media reports. but that hasn't stopped them from saying it we the f b. i do have a national security concerns about the app. it's a parent company is controlled by the chinese government. we've been warned repeatedly by our own intelligence agencies that take soc, is the security threat heck, the director of the f. b. i has testified under oath that tick tock poses major security risk. so i think everyone agrees are a privacy danger to america, to our national security. we shouldn't have the communi

the u. s. has been present in syria since 2014 leading a coalition focus on regime change involving the military's of most nato countries and regional allies. amid accusations of stealing syrian oil in 2021, the pentagon said that american troops weren't there to protect syrian oil fields except on rare occasions when civilians were involved. while syrian american journalist and political commentator steven saline say's washington's actions are stripping syria of the resources, the country needs to recover. they are so busy in the city, people from having added that. the fuel number for a warming to house is in the winter for tourney on the factory is for the rebuilding of syria. and that is particularly what a washington d. c wants to a country like celia is that huge amount of money. that is there. that could have rebuilt year to 2 or 3 times a doctor. we could have got a medication medicine. we could have got day 6 up our hospitals in syria. it could have got fuel for the cars, our schools a

the u. s. is encouraging its international partners to try to join a plan ban on chinese computer chips according to media reports. now u. s. and bastard to japan, rom, manuel says the u. s. is in discussions with japan, the netherlands and south korea nations, a critical to the industry supply chain. in an interview with bloomberg, he said, all the parties are at the table. all the parties have a mutual shared interest in the outcome. everybody has different aspects of the industry. he said the deal must be multilateral in order to work. now the korean government for its part has denied its and talks with the u. s. at the stage. meanwhile, another u. s. partner and the world's biggest manufacturer of powerful semi conductors. taiwan has passed its own ships act to give tax breaks to key manufacturers. well, for more insights, let's bring it down. i've. he's a tech analyst at web, web security. then thanks for joining me now, as we just said, it's taiwan, not china, who's really leading in term

with know the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking, head to the middle east days after israeli forces kill yet more palestinians. what is washington's role in the worsening conflict? and what wider challenges does the biden administration face in the middle east? this is inside story. ah. hello and welcome to the program. i'm hammock, m g m u s. secretary of state anthony blinking is visiting israel and the west bank on a trip to the middle east beginning in egypt. it will be his 1st to the region since a new far right government came to power in israel and comes just days after israeli forces killed more palestinians in jennine. we'll be looking at what to expect from the visit in more detail with our guests in a few moments. but 1st al jazeera, as i had my head, explains how that raid unfolded. palestinians in janine pay their respects to 9 people killed in an israeli military. wait on the occupied west bank on thursday. they are bird next to dozens of other palestinians who died over the past yea

the u. s. is pursuing in asia. lighter miscalculation and the slightest misperception can lead to catastrophic results, particularly for the stability and security of the korean peninsula. and this is what south korea is trying to do is try to look for a middle ground in order to really alleviate the escalating situation. but at the same time, trying to spearhead areas where it would be more secure, so it does not want to escalate the situation further. but however, because of the reality on the ground, there's really not much of an option for south korea to do or for north korea and the other side. you have to understand that there is a significant inconsistency when it comes to us foreign policy, particularly in asia. so what we can expect is that is the grant in the grander scheme of things, you know, in asia, particularly us hopes to improve its image and strengthen the geopolitical position and effectively balance against china's rise. but given the current reality isn't of asian, politica

i know that in the u. s. for example, lots of mobile applications that we run can be different such as websites also in the european union because of the general data protection regulation. for example, i know that some social media outlets also have to be more careful in california because the california consumer privacy act, on, in general, the u. s. is a lot more open in terms of sharing information. there's very little federal privacy regulation. and so applications can take advantage of harvesting a lot of data about individuals. we know, for example, what cambridge on the left got, how they worked with facebook, you know, on a previous presidential election for example. and how social media applications can give a lot of way about a person's nature, their political identity, sexual orientation, and other things. but that privacy advocates should be aware of. we should just be in general, wary of any applications that are available for free because there is a business model that will be built on calling

the u. s. itself is reportedly also finalizing plans to send its abrams main battle tanks. do you crane that decision is expected to be an hour later this week? american officials have so far decline to share any details. russia as a master to the us says the move would show the world who is really the aggressor in ukraine. an analysis of the whole sequence of washington's actions demonstrates that the americans are constantly raising the bar of military assistance to their puppets. if the us decides to supply tanks, then justifying citrus that with arguments about defensive weapons will definitely not work. this would be another blatant provocation against russia. no one should have any illusions about who is the real aggressor in the current conflict. can the current president, please even more western weapon for calling his country a big business opportunity for arm suppliers? we've got the details of how ukraine is increasingly turning into a testing ground for nato firepower, and the detai

the u. s. department of justice earlier stated it has seized the assets of russian entrepreneurs amounting to more than $30000000.00. however, that is the tip of the iceberg, as washington has frozen the $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank . i can april 2022 biden proposed a congress authorized felling assets the belong to russian citizens. however, a move like this does contradict us law, which does not the middle thirties to sell foreign property. well, let's cross live now to economists and political analysts. i'm joining us live on this program from moscow. great to see you today. so thanks so much for coming on the program, just straight off the top of your head. i mean, what do you think your opinion all this the seizure, the freezing and selling of russian assets when it does seem a bit like a well, a unilateral move by washington at the unit lateral move is very dangerous. in many senses. the most important thing is if you are not guaranteeing property ownership anym

and as for in the u. s. secretary of state, just days after an iranian military facility was attacked by drones to her and did not blame anybody officially. but there were careful reports in both american and israeli media that israel with the u. s. support may have been behind the so tag mcfall coming here to israel blinking sat and an interview that all options are on the table regarding the ran in friends including military. so very, very bowling moment. but i have to say that the ra tensions even closer blinking came to israel at the time of a major escalation and a dramatic tweet in these rally palestinian conflict that he himself called as circle of violence. america's top diplomats said that washington is committed to the idea of 2 state solution and that anything that contradicts this idea could be hung full to ease railey security in a long term and could damage change drills, identity as a democratic jewish state. he also said that both sides should work together, hard to try to de escalate the si
