the u. s. will not impose sanctions on india for importing russian energy with official, suggesting washington will offer an exemption. now that focuses on cooperation. we're not looking to sanction india. our partnership with india is one of the most consequential relationships. new delhi became the biggest importer of russian crew last year after europe in countries imposed sanctions over the conflict imports from russia then rose again in december, balancing a 1000000 barrels per day for the 1st time. while last month it's hit $1700000.00 barrels. unless a part of the reason for the massive increases because western states are not buying russian oil, but through india without comes the tensions between the u. s. under run are rising, washington has imposed new sanctions on taylor and targeting companies that are accused of facilitating the sale of iranian petroleum on petrochemical products to asia. the us treasury department said that 6 around base manufacturers are being targeted. 3 firms

now u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin and philippine defense secretary currently about this junior will be holding a clor close bilateral meeting a few hours away from now inside the military compound. and after that meeting, they are expected to announce these t locations, if not the key locations. then at least they're expected to announce if there is an agreement for new locations. now, 2 of these locations are expected to be up in the north, close to taiwan, in which case it would give the u. s. a strategic advantage in case a conflict. the rises in the taiwan straits, but this is what pull testers are against. that there are now just a few pull testers right here, which is a few minutes ago. they were protesting against these new locations. they're saying they don't want the philippines to get dragged into an unnecessary conflict. the conflict that, that philippines doesn't have anything to do with. but by and large filipinos are supportive of strength and military alliance between the

the u. s. secretary of state's visit to the region, provoke mass protests and palestine locals took to the street to express their anger at bias by the u. s. foreign policy carrying banners and flags we heard from people in garza who say blinking visit is meaningless with no practical arrangements to be made. i will is that we're here to express or opposition the blinking visit, which is part of the unlimited your support for israeli occupation carrying out aggressive actions against palestinians. the u. s. pays nothing but lip service to the palestinians, and the visit comes with a new air pressure on the leadership of palestine to roll back the recent moves mainly, a hold of coordination was really security bodies, csr america. or it is crystal clear that the american policy has always been very hostile towards the philistine people. this policy has been completely biased in favor of israel, obviously such a policies based on supporting israel against the palestinian people. the buffer, i be

or u. s. congress has condemned suspected chinese surveillance balloon that the us shot down in recent days. that in and c h. it was a rare moment of solidarity between the usually bickering u. s. political parties. the resolution by the house of representatives said the balloon was a quote, brazen violation of us sovereignty. us officials say china has been developing a surveillance program using balloons to collect intelligence around the world before and original, and us airspace was shot down as it reached the atlantic coast of south carolina. there were concerns that it could have been used your photograph, nuclear missile silos or other military facilities and response us secretary of state antony blinking, cancel the planned trip to beijing that had been meant to mend the tides between the countries. china has taken issue at u. s. support for independence movements in taiwan as well as the build up of u. s. military forces in the asia pacific region. recently, the u. s. agreed with the

the u . s. treasury departments issued a license authorizing any aid related transactions for the next $180.00 days. however, for significantly, it excludes syrian officials who remain on the sanctions list, essentially the government. back in 2012, the american president, barrack obama and the u. s. would formerly recognize the syrian opposition coalition, rather than the officials said lead government, which is in control of most of the countries territory. well, with the 1st staunch of 8, only 9 reaching opposition held areas of syria, washington sought to blame that the lays on the assad government on russia. reality has been up until now at least that one country primarily has stood in the way of that. the russians have consistently threatened to use their veto when it comes to expanding border crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case. and we certainly hope that russia and all those who would stand in the way are

a lot of people know what u. s. t t, b u. s. these stable coins are so as that happens, it's going to remove that level of power that they have. and that whole hedge of money that they have over controlling the financial system, including sanctions, right? at the end of the day, right now, there's nothing inhibiting me in russia, sending money to my friend in the u. s. using crypto currencies, specifically stable coins if i want, if they can't stop me, they can't track it and they can't control it. today marks the 20th anniversary of the un security council meeting when the head of the united nations monitoring mission at the time stated that there were no traces of weapons of mass destruction in iraq. however, this that had stopped the u. s. which used the presence of w m. d, 's as a pretext for attacking the middle eastern country in 2003. here is our special coverage of one of the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq,

and china feels regret for its intended entry into u. s. s. space china has enough satellites already in china wants to do any surveillance. why should they use the pollutants, which are so big and so obvious? no, i don't think this connection makes any sense. so let's see. i mean, we're all have to watch and see. but whatever the case, i think the wisdom of both countries, leaders and i've all depressed and now protest test. ah, former israeli prime minister nastily bennett, has detailed his role in attempting to broker at p. still in the 1st weeks of the ukraine conflicts last year. bennett says his efforts were alternately shot down by washington and its allies and he was sock all, i was just a mediator. if i turn to america for guidance, i didn't do as i pleased anything i did was coordinated down to the last detail with the u. s, germany and france, the block to the west wanted to keep the pressure on putin rather than negotiating . there were several rounds of negotiations between moscow and k of in the 1st weeks of the conflict and la

now, our former u. s. defense sexy more casper said he was surprised by this statement from the pentagon and he said he was never informed of such incidents during his time in, in office. but we now have a form of u. s. defense and military officials have described the latest incident as embarrassing, especially given that the u. s. is the world's leading military power and opposition. republican party members have now they've got on the offensive, and they've accused biden of not acting decisively enough. and they say that he's fail to protect american national security. let's have a listen to what they've said. i friend robert o'brien, former national security adviser. why aren't we taking action to deal with this? and why did we know about it? robert o'brien, larry, this is one of those embarrassing things i've ever seen. and in american diplomacy, we sped trillions and trillions of dollars on hardware and soldiers on airmen, on sailors. and we can't do anything about it. why was this allowed to go cle

and the u. s. has continue to say, oh, battle ships down the south china sea and is accused itself of undermining regional stability with the signing of the o. because packed with the security packed with britain, australia, when 2021, which is containing china's military power. but of course, this latest incident is a new blow to the already tense us china relations. earlier we spoke with nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for rem path and international studies. he's those china has no need to use such balloons as surveillance devices they say is apparently not a pleasant incident, but i don't believe it is. why is for anybody to make a big fuss up there because the chinese government has confirmed in the 1st place that this below all this ship or exactly what you call it, is from china. and china feels regret for its intended entry into u. s. s. space china has enough satellites already in china, wants to do any surveillance. why should they use the balloons, which are so big and s

the europeans fear the u. s. is new inflation reduction act will distort the trans atlantic market with its $370000000000.00 and subsidies aimed at companies producing in the us or from countries with a free trade agreement with the country. or chris yonder is a faction leader in the german parliament and was part of that u. s. visit. he spoke to my colleague michelle a curve now about his impressions. so the german and french trade ministers were here and we heard a state of the union speech that sounded very america fast or these tough times for europe to get some kind of compromise in the american. i mean that's where we are here as germans. the road hike was here. i'm here yesterday and today and we need more talks, i guess, because i think we should tighten our balance really because so we're already tied together with the nato alliance and we have both economic goals on both sides of the atlantics and a thing we should more talk about free trade and even a trade union in the future. so where will the resolu

the u. s wanted, in reality, has brought in to help create an intelligence organization that would assist the special commission and evaluating the accuracy of the iraqi declarations about what weapons of mass destruction they had. you see, i thought that the mission of the special commission was to disarm iraq. and we worked in a very assiduous manner to carry out that mission. but it turned out that the disarmament of iraq was the last thing the united states wanted. the united states was going to go to war with iraq, regardless. regardless, it doesn't matter what the truth was. so i dressed the iraqi parliament, they gave a speech that wasn't pre screened. and as a speech, a said, if you don't let weapons inspectors back in your country will be destroyed, you have to let them back in without any pre conditions. said, something's gonna let weapons inspectors back in. i one i succeeded. and so when i came out, this exact opposite feels like inspectors are going to be love back in. i said, yes

the 1st one, floating above the u. s. heart land ignited a diplomatic storm that's kept the secretary of state from visiting china, plus for us military aid for ukraine. the latest package, nearly doubles teams, striking range against russian forces which continue attacking in ukrainian stronghold. ah, i'm michael ok. welcome. the pentagon says another suspected chinese spy balloon has been discovered this time flying over latin america. that's after another such balloon were seen floating above the us heartland. the spotting has complicated washington invasions, already strained, relations and drawn americans attention to the sky. there is losing nearly 2 kilometers above the united states. this balloon is causing major diplomatic problems back on earth. and i have no idea what it is. first spotted over montana by curious residence. it's now believed to be a chinese espionage platform. china's decision to fly a surveillance balloon over the continental united states is both acceptable and irresponsible. that's what this

and the u. s. has continue to say, oh, battle ships down the south china sea and is accuse itself of undermining regional stability with the signing of the o. because packed with the security packed with britain, australia in 2021, which is containing china's military power. but of course, this latest incident is a new blow to the already tense us china relations. the head of chinese national weather service, responsible for the balloon has not been fired. earlier we spoke with no phone won't vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies. he said, basing doesn't need balloons to spy on america. this is apparently not a pleasant incident, but i don't believe it is wise for anybody to make a big fuss of it because the chinese government has confirmed in the 1st place that they see below august ship or exactly what you call it is from china and china fails, regret for its intended entry into us space. china has enough satellites already in china wants to do any surveillance

and the u. s. has continue to say, oh, battle ships down the south china sea and is accused itself of undermining regional stability with the signing of the all. because packed with the security packed with britain, australia, when 2021, which is containing china's military power. but of course, this latest incident is a new blow to the already tense us china relations for my israeli prime minister, natalie bennett has detailed his role was attempting to broker a peace still in the 1st weeks of the ukraine conflict last year and an interview which moscow have yet to respond to bennett, said his f as well to me, at least down by washington and its allies on the call. i was just a mediator. i turned to america for guidance. i didn't do as i pleased anything i did was coordinated down to the last detail with the u. s. germany and france. they blocked the west, wanted to keep the pressure on putin rather than negotiating money. there were several round of negotiations between moscow and k of in the 1st

the u. s. federal reserve has raised an target interest rate. i caught the percentage point his central bank continued to promise ongoing increases in or in cost as part of his battle against inflation. in a statement the fence and inflation has ease slightly from the 40 year highs hit last year, but it says washes, worn. ukraine was still adding to global uncertainty and, and such as were on this the rise and interest rates of one quarter of one percent is very much in line with expectations. it is the smallest rise since almost a year ago. but it still takes the interest rate here in the united states to around 4.75 per cent, the highest. it's been in 15 years. no, the fed back in december was talking about possibly raising rates to 5 percent or above. they haven't felt the need to go that far, because they think that the rate of inflation is slowing down and we know are the inflation crisis has hit millions of families across america with increased prices . the fed chairman jerome poll ackno

the u. s. energy department has concluded that the coven pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak. according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the white house and key members of congress. the energy department made its judgment with low confidence, according to people who have read the classified report. she and she see a lovely is extremely unlikely. this is an authoritative scientific conclusion that experts from china and the world health organization reached after visiting to relevant laboratory and to hand and holding in debt exchanges with relevant researchers. the relevant party should start playing on the lot. league theory, stop sneering, china and stop politicizing the issue of origin tracing the report sites only 2 officials from the u. s. department of energy and they say they have low confidence that this comes from a lab that it was a who on lab league, but that hasn't stopped all the major us mainstream media outlets from running with this story.

and the u. s. has expanded its military presence in norway over the last while, and it had a listing radar into russia based in norway and get this norway, it's parliament even voted last november to give the us legal system jurisdiction in some parts of norway over whatever u. s. soldiers might get up to in the way of crimes when they're off base with in norway. so norway allegedly also ran interference according to her, shes report for washington with neighboring sweden and denmark. and they did that. so these countries wouldn't get suspicious if they saw a divers in the area place who'd be explosive. and apparently they, norway was not supposed to tell sweden and denmark exactly what the divers were doing there. just if they happen to see divers not to be concerned that you know they be there and don't worry about it. so now really it just kind of remains to be seen exactly how the you will respond to this report of its very best friend and ally, washington allegedly colluding with one of its ve

the u. s. looting resources to the u. s. dividing the country by occupying parts in the north and the north east and getting that oil, some of that oil, to the so called through the product forces. former us president donald from said you said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the through government to get that oil. so those statements and those act by the united states is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation and fight, sir. yes, all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the country to say divide at the end of the day . they don't care if they do what they want to do. and even if it's at the expense of syrians live, the media landscape was shaken by a bombshell this week with revelations that nato allegedly destroyed the russian nord stream to pipelines in september of last year. according to the investigation, washington had been planning the blow since late 2021 by the decision to sabotage the pipelines came

the u. s. use of force is an obvious overreaction and a violation of international practice. finally, after days of deliberation and doubt, us find 2 jets of short time. what they claim is a chinese spy bloomed by aging, of course denies this. it says that it was a web whether observation balloon, although there is some confusion over whose recommendation it was to, to shoot down the balloon and listen to what us president joe biden told jan this successfully took it down. and i want a complimentary graders who did it, and we'll have more to report on a little later. thank you. what they say by the same a recommendation from you was funny and that's why the whole that is through the down or wednesday i was like the recommended to me. let's wait to look take this place to do it. some are already asking questions over the timing of the incident. it came just ahead of a time visit by the us to stay on the blink and to churn. and now that was subsequently cancelled. it was, he says, indefinitely po

b u. s. d is a stable coin back to us dollars issued by, by nance, which is the largest crypto current exchange in the world. now the fcc seemed to have it out for binds. so what they've said is they went to binding, c custodian, which is the 3rd party that holds the dollars the back b, b, u. s. d and hold these dollars and said to them, look, stop mincing them. you're not allowed to anymore because we suspect that b u. s. b is a security and therefore unregulated and we need to regulate it. but it's a suspicion, it's not a charge, but they still manage to effectively shut it down. and what do you think the u. s. government is so interested in controlling stable coins in the crypto currency market in general? well, i think you have to go back to the inception of crypto currency, nicky. so most famous crypto currency is arguably bitcoin. i think we've got a big, big queen be probably on a screen behind the somewhere. and so say bit could, if you read the initial white paper that was written, w

the 1st one floating above the u. s. heartland ignited a diplomatic storm that's kept the secretary of state from visiting china. plus more u. s. military aid for ukraine. the latest package, nearly doubles, keeps striking range against russian forces, which continue attacking a ukrainian stronghold. and it spearheaded the fight against coven researchers now say a new technology could become an effective weapon against cancer, to ah, a warm welcome. 12 years around the world on michael oak, who, the pentagon says another suspected chinese spy balloon has been discovered. this time flying over latin america, that's after another such balloon was seen floating above the u. s. heartland, the spotting has complicated washington in beijing's already strained relations and drawn americans detention to the sky. there is losing nearly 2 kilometers above the united states. this balloon is causing major diplomatic problems back on earth. and i have no idea what it is. first spotted over montana by curious residence. it's now beli

the u. s. government 1st under the obama administration. and then, under the trumpet administration backed political coups, you could call them soft coups. first, in 2016, the democratically elected president delma recess of the same workers, party of lula. she was overthrown on bogus corruption charges. there were completely absurd. and she was accused of of moving money in the budget, and then exactly what she did is what the us backed unelected qu regime then legalized. so it was a completely false pretense to remove her from power. and then in 2018 was the 2nd soft qu, during the presidential election, all of the polls showed the little silva was leading by double digits. so what happened? the judge sergio morrow, who was back bible scenario and conspiring with his campaign, imprison lula on false charges of corruption. and later the brazilian supreme court completely expunged louis record. it said he was innocent and united nations working group on arbitrary attentions the top you and exp

because the u. s. well, a saint or country with a single fiscal policy, so it can really provide money very directly in the you, it's much more dispersed across different programs. and one of the most difficult things about the european approach is that we have a lot of administrative processes, certain outcomes for companies. the strengths of the us approach is that companies know exactly how much money will be able to get out of the inflation reduction act . so one part of the european response is also really about simplifying the rules. i'm making them more and more, but if that is a very good thing, it's interesting that you mentioned that point, that it's not just about spending, because when you look at the numbers, the u. s. the spending almost $370000000000.00 on subsidies. china subsidies are double that of europe. so how do you see europe competing with the u. s. in china when it comes to the green economy? to start with, maybe. if we look at this number of the us, the 370000000000 us dollar

so when he wrote thanks to the u. s. right after the expulsion at north stream, later that tweet was deleted, but he had a little bit of a sluggish there. plenty of other confirmations. what was done in beside his tweet . so we used to work with him. we used to have the joint commission that had by the foreign minister. they included deputy ministries of other agencies. it was a bit of a school. so michelle's inter governmental commission light, it was a joint historian commission and it's hard to imagine right now, but they wrote jointly, history books for kids. yes, you very much. for example, there were different versions of the same historical period. that was a platform for dialogue where historians talked to each other even if they disagreed in certain chapters in history. but still, that created a certain full confidence. what would fatigue, an lac, valencia have said that they invented it to him to the colonize russian molding. when they are inviting some very unpleasant and very strange representative some of so

and so far the u. s. government has not provided any answers, but certainly this is of some concern to americans, and certainly this is certainly ratcheting up the tensions between the 2 governments and the headline. of course now that this is postpone the trip of the secretary of state that was slated to in terms of the travel schedule, the secretary of state anthony blanca was set to depart in a matter of hours to go to beijing. and now that trip has been postponed indefinitely and it will be a story that will continue to develop and will continue watching closely. here on out, is there a for now? thank you very much. kimberly at the white house. let's go straight now to katrina hughes. she joins us from beijing via skype, katrina, any word yet about how lincoln's trip postponement is going over over there? no official statements so far as quite late here is just after midnight, but certainly this will be a blow to the chinese government and surely also very embarrassing. now the whole point of this vi

u. s. failure to contain the will of the iranian people with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our international i, rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. and we began with the latest from the conflict in ukraine as several substantial attacks were reported on friday night. these are unverified images from ukraine, 2nd largest city of harcourt, where a local air defense system apparently tried to repel a drone attack, powerful explosions and a large fire were also reported near the national capital in the key of region. this comes a day after a local authorities throughout ukraine said, a massive missile attack crippled the country's energy infrastructure. meanwhile, on the other side of the border in the russian region of zapper, oci, local officials say air defense systems repelled ukrainian artillery attack that u. c. u. s. supplied high mars rockets, however, some rocket fragments fell on residential areas, damaging homes, at leas
