u. s. and in europe, if you're moving mobiles and people say that, well, maybe they don't said, but they think this that that's a fact. and it's regrettable because as i said, we had it branched out mechanism for relations and so on. one more thing here, as will answer said, they need to finally deal with russia in this generations time. sure, so is this not a demand to find a final solution to the russian question? if you will, when i quoted the media ologist of hitler is nazi germany who dealt with a final solution of the jewish question. and i said that right now, the whole pure europe is gathered against us and led by the u. s. slim. they use various motors with the same point. we will call to resolve this fashion question. finally, you may be norton using the gas chambers, beds to put an ant washer as a great power and to sideline it to destroy its economy. and when this, when it reminded politicians started claiming that a, using this comparing sense only violated the memory and insulted

u. s. and the philippines. but 2 months from now, we will be seeing the largest iteration of follicles on joint philippine u. s. military exercises would, over 16000 forces from both the philippine and the u. s. participating earlier. also secretary austin miti with president for i didn't mark as junior. he is the 3rd high ranking high ranking u. s. official to visit the philippines since president marcos assume leadership. in june 2022 1000000 and barnaby defense secretary lloyd austin's visit to the region. it's prompted a dramatic reaction as annette from north korea. that's right. molina took there awesome did swing by south korea before he landed in the philippines on tuesday evening. and there he met with his counterpart to south korea defense minister, and they agreed to bolster defense corporation in the face of increased provocations from north korea. north korea has been launching a record number of missile tests in the past year, and are also indications that it is re opening a new a

u. s. and western media has wasted no time in ratcheting up the anti china rhetoric and the supposed threat posed by beijing in a twist. now, the pentagon is now claiming that chinese spy balloons flew over us territory, or at least 3 occasion occasions under the trump administration. now, for me, us defense, etc. mall 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 former 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 failed to protect american national security. i would 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

u. s. and south korea. fenton monahan has more the latest tests come just 24 hours after saturday's launch of the wa song 15 intercontinental ballistic missile. mm. north korea says it's proof of its capability to deliver a quote, fatal nuclear counter attack. kimmy john, the sister of north korea's leader, says whether to use the pacific ocean as its shooting range depends on the united states. north korea is not happy with the ramping up of military exercises between the u. s. in south korea, which will take place in march. there's also a table top exercise that will look at nuclear scenarios that will happen between the u. s. and talk to you next week, and i think north korea sending a message that it is unhappy with that and it will fight fiber, fire us, and south korea. warplanes carried out a highly visible response to saturdays launch. south 3 defense ministry set the drill headed by nuclear capable american b, one bombers affirmed, united states commitment extended to terms of its nucle

and as long as the u. s. fears it's decline of influence and power and side to region that we're going to try to take any measure possible to curb ron's influence and you know like, and it doesn't mean there is nothing that would stop the us from taking any measures. hust hostile measures against nations, and that also includes iran and what's the u. s. and white has, has been supporting inside iran over the past few years. few months is from september, 1 legitimate test to erupt. it in iran has become a support of arms groups, arm terrorist groups inside iran, which is not new, but we have heard about that before. and this is something that john bolton at minutes that arms have been at sorry, sorry to interrupt. i just want to touch upon that other issue we spoke about cetera, that of u. s. official of sitting at washington will or is not planning to at least sanction india for importing energy from russia. how did you see that story? why do you think new delhi is treated differently from carolyn not regard

u. s. and south korea, which will take place in march. there's also a table top exercise that will look at nuclear scenarios that will happen between the u. s. and talk to you next week and i think your 3 is sending a message that it is unhappy with that and it will fight fiber, fire us, and south korea. warplanes carried out a highly visible response to saturdays launch. south 3 defense ministry set the drill headed by nuclear capable. american b, one bombers affirmed the united states commitment extended to terms of its nuclear weapons. the u. s. and japan held a similar, separate exercise over waters of japan's west coast. years of diplomacy, sanctions and international censure have done little slow north korea's missile program. since martin al jazeera, what's got snyder from the council on foreign relations. he says both sides are in a cycle of reacting to each other. well, the north koreans themselves have said that the latest tests are directly response to us or okay, military drills. an

u. s. and it's a utopian partners and nato, all of a sudden were, you know, going out and generous to the global south, and generous to others. instead, they did the opposite. they went on the warpath. they destroyed yugoslavia. they went to eventually into afghanistan, into iraq, into libya, and they've destroyed syria. they've gone through come this countries and just reeked havoc and devastation. so everybody else is watching this over the past few decades is saying, this is coming for us. not only russia and china, the dpr kate under, you know, 1st under kim's janiella, now under kim's, when they're watching. and they're saying, absolutely not. we're not gonna believe that they have our legitimate interest, or that they care about our sovereignty and our territorial integrity. they don't, and so ultimately, over the past few decades, you know, vladimir putin has tried a persistently to call for negotiations to call for diplomacy to call for something to happen. and what you've seen is furth

u. s. and philippines defense ministries, a state that the u. s. has invested around $82000000.00 in these 5 locations where they have, they have had access to 4 years. and so they are committing to investing in these additional locations. we don't know yet where these 4 additional locations are going to be. but we might find out during the presser between r u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin and philippine defense secretary currently to gov is junior. that's happening in a couple of hours from now. we do know that there have been pock sir, that possible 2 locations are going to be in the northern philippines, close to taiwan. and so if that is true, that would give a strategic advantage to the u. s. in case hostilities arise in the taiwan street, but this is really the dawn of a new era in us philippines ties. there had been a few rocky years under the administration of former president rodrigo, to return there where the further visiting forces agreement was almost terminated. the joint military exercises between the u. s. and the philippines, bu

u. s. and s. western allies have been trying to drag out the conflict with the ultimate purpose of simply trying to hum russia sienna, so they made you say, is it united states and its allies are trying to prolong the conflict as much as possible to do this. they have started supplying heavy, offensive weapons, openly calling on ukraine to seize our territories. in fact, that such steps involve needle countries in the conflict and can lead to an unpredictable level of escalation here, those groups of russian troops are working to eradicate all the weapons and equipment supply to key of both on the delivery routes and in combat positions such as your move in january, they also lost 26 aircraft 7 helicopters and 208 drones. so that was the end of that list of the losses when it comes to ukraine. then he went on to talk about those who are supplying ukraine with weapons. and he said that the u. s. and its allies are really dragon out the conflict by supplied heavy offensive weapons. and that their

i don't think so and thought out the usual way. tony grow old is of the u. s. sending more troops and asking as to go to the u. s. for training shows that the situation across the taiwan straits is indeed perilous. if it wasn't the u. s. would not be doing this is why we endanger ours because we've become a porn and the conflict between china in the u. s. law. william, your other son, but there are these sentiments, the oppositions alone or do they represent a considerable view in taiwan population. i think these views represent a certain faction inside a tony society, even though we are seeing the number impose, suggesting more and more people are willing to fight for time one, if a conflict broke out with china. but at the same time, there are people who i've been talking to in recent months and weeks staying at the end of the day, maintaining peace and stability across the toe and street is still their top priority. and they are concerned about the moves and deepen ties. between the u. s . and taiwan in on the military front. and also the, you know, want th

u. s. and the chinese balloon? yes, so finally, after days of deliberation and doubt, u. s. foreign to jets of short term, what they claim is a chinese spy bloom. beijing of course denies this. it says that it was a web whether observation, a balloon. although there is some confusion over whose recommendation it was to to shoot down the balloon. ma'am, that's listen to what you as president joe biden told jan this earlier. and i'm so successful, we took a dow and i want to compliment our aviators or didn't and want more to report on her so a little later because i wanted to say that i know on this, i know the same recommendation from your was fun and that's why i told them to sit down a wednesday. i was like a recommendation to me. let's wait to the safest place to do it. quite an intense reaction from the us president. now, how could this effect already tense relations between china and the us? well, some are already asking questions over the timing of the incident. it came just ahead of a tim

and the any d in the u. s. id spent tens of millions of dollars, funding opposition, groups that oppose this on the needs to government and the elected president, daniel ortega, and of course, anyone who knows the more recent history of nicaragua, going back to the 1980s knows that this is not new united states and the 1980 through the ca, armed in train terrorists, the contrast they, they burned down schools and hospitals according to one of their former leaders. they use terrorism as a systematic tactic. they put the ca, help, the contrast put mines in the porch to blow up nicaragua, ports, and so for many people in nicaragua, unfortunately, it wasn't surprising to see that the u. s. government returned to those same tactics that it had used in the 1980. and what has the u. s said by the claims of it directly funded the insurgency and 20 thing? well, it's always the same lip service too. well, this is civil society that these are media outlets. the u. s. always says that the state department claims that it is

u. s. and the philippines are expected to participate by and large filipinos are supportive of this strengthened philippines . the military alliance, but that there is some opposition to the possibility of giving us additional access to couldn't be military bases any, but we are expecting a protest to happen here within the hour tom brought into austin's trip and the military drills that you were talking about has prompted a rather dramatic reaction from north korea. that's right. the secretary austin did string by north south korea. before he arrived in the philippines on tuesday evening and there he met with his counterpart, the south korean defense minister. and they agreed to bolster defense cooperation between the 2 countries. they agreed that the us would be sending more assets, including aircraft carriers to south korea, and they would increase the number and frequency of joint military drills. and in fact, on wednesday, while circ a, terry austin was in some, one of the city in the sout

and as the u. s. com, that's been the act, the u. s. congress passed last year. now during their trip will be talking to you as treasury secretary, janet yelling about the the law, which includes $370000000000.00 and subsidies to promote green manufacturing jobs in the u. s. but excludes many of washington's closest partners. the ear fears that this will pull kit, kate green tech companies, away from europe when president biden pledge to invest $370000000000.00 in green energy jobs at home. companies took note, including some abroad like germany's becker robotics. the dillman based business makes cable packages used on car production lines. it's c e o says the u. s. subsidies are enticing enough to consider expanding its business over there. rather than in the u. olds on with amos is for us on her printers. this comes as a relief on some things in germany. take a long time or simply made difficult by bureaucracy, remarked less bureaucracy, lower energy prices, an abundance of well trained technical staff. some of the reasons european companies consider expanding o

u. s. and to make this mutual interest becoming a strong partnership, we need to solve some problems. we, robert, has mentioned some concrete items. the idea behind it is that a strong green industrial market in the u. s. and a strong green industrial market in europe will help each other that we boot to green bridge over the atlantic and help each other. because the goal is the same. fighting global warming and creating a new industrial resilience and industrial independence in a way for a german economy minister, robert havoc they're speaking in washington. over to wall street, travel dependent companies are reporting spikes and sales and profits assigned that tourism is recovering, is global coban 19 protocols, ease sales for trips and luxury cruise line. royal caribbean shot up 165 percent higher than pre pending levels. that sequence of companies, 4th quarter results, the shares for car rental company hertz, rose after posting 4th quarter earnings, that beat expectations over dns quarter i

u. s. and a few of its allies anointed one why doe, as their chosen president for venezuela move some 80 percent of the world rejected . and now the u. s. has its site set on nicaragua, again, under the biden administration. so what do these 3 latin american countries have in common while they're all run by left us government, resist u. s. influence and exploitation by the west. so to talk more about nicaragua in the crosshairs, we'll bring in a man who's had 1st hand experience with its president. is dan co valid? he is an author and professor of international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of law. his newest book is called nicaragua, a history of intervention and resistance. dan, thanks for joining us. first i'd like to address the us state department framing of nicaragua. if you go to their website to see their remarks on the country, they describe it as having descended into this sort of disturb, be a nightmare run by an authoritarian bonnie and clyde. in this case, dan

u. s. and china, in the weeks and months to come on, china talk diplomat has responded saying, washington must men the damage to relations caused by the incident. and the mom because the senior research fellow with a center for china and globalization, it says washington is engaging in double standards. a weather balloon, collecting weather information, certainly can have a military use are. so i think it's very unclear here. and i think it's also important to point out that certainly up louis complaining about this violation of sovereignty does sound a little bit hypocritical. i mean, we go back decades with the u. s. engaging in this kind of alleged conduct all around the world. so i think we really should take this out with a bit of a grain of salt, and there also is a narrative battle taking place here. and once upon a time, the u. s. certainly could credibly warn china war in any other country around the world. i'll but i think the geopolitical realities are shifting and how, what a credib

u. s. and taiwan in on the military front. and also the, you know, want these kind of gestures, the news are going to send signals to be jane and how beaching as possibly going to respond. so clearly these are not only, you know, restricted to the opposition politicians that we heard, but at the same time the they are being shared among time when he's a population as well. there are also reports that us how speaker kevin mccarthy is planning to visit taiwan. you talked about sending signals to beijing is type by open to such a visit. i think the context of this visit compared to last august visit by the former house speaker, nancy pelosi is very different. we are in a lead up to the presidential election in the january of 2024. so a potential mccarthy visit is going to have a huge impact on domestic politics this year and how that's going to affect the political landscape here is on predicted right now. but at the same time, we know that for the ruling party, it could of play into their advantage. and for the opposition party.

and fleeting with it took just over one month for the u. s. sun partners, shock and awe campaign to take control of baghdad. however, u. s. troops only officially withdrew in 2011. over the span of those years, the lives of countless numbers of civilians were shattered. oh, i was a teenager in the tachi area, there was an army training camp and weapons depots, and the sites was subjected to heavy bombardment by merican forces. we would seen ages and we were playing football, not caring about the shelling that sometimes we would have to hide. one date, there was a huge explosion. we did not know that a bomb had fallen on us. 3 children were lined dead near me, and i remember that the person who was holding the bull died instantly gossiping, but i was injured in 2000 sakes while i was playing. i have a shooting and then suddenly a mortar landed near me. i was only a child of the time. i was injured in 2008 when i was just riding my bicycle when suddenly i was spinning. i landed on my back and could see my entire stomach hopin and intestines on

u. s. and by a natural states. so we can think that from that point on the late summer was that conflict kids champs and getting their hands dirty and ukraine so that americans don't have to. that's a scandalous claim for, for me us defense secretary mom s but he spilled the beans during a frank cole as before. he was talking to ukraine's a former president, petro poor shanker. but he was actually the latest to my russian pranks is known as the lexus i've argued back here in united states to, you know, the, the break ukrainian people work are doing the dirty work of what we never want to do here in our state. which is why we should continue to support you with everything we can are doing the circle, dirty work in ukraine has a half day price target. washington has approved its latest aid package for key of worth $2500000000.00. the total military assistance from the bind in administration to ukraine now stands at an estimated $27500000000.00. new york based journalist on dorothy daniel lazar sa

u. s. and e, u is likely, and it could be a way to make the grass greener on both sides. michelle, a. cooper is our correspondent in washington. she joins me now for more. michelle, both sides seemed interested in a compromise. we just heard. what is it likely to look like? well, it certainly is nowhere near the middle, because one thing is for saw the ira a, as it's called, the inflation reduction and act which was billed by joe biden as a way to build future economies. here in the united states, create future proof jobs that will not be changed, no legal changes. so any compromise can only be in the small print, and that's why the french and german trade ministers are here. they want to shape that and what certainly on the horizon is that there potentially could be some exceptions for the so crucial auto industry when it comes to least a cause here in the united states. there may be some exceptions. also, when it comes to manufacturing of batteries needed for green mobility in the future that is still being discussed and hammered out. because after all that needs to be discussed bet

u. s. and south korea. but in monahan has more u. s. and south korean war plains, carrying out a highly visible response to saturdays missile launch by north korea. south korea defense ministry set the drills headed by nuclear capable american b, one bombers, a from the united states commitment to the extended turns of its nuclear weapons. the u. s. and japan held a similar separate exercise over waters off japan's west coast. where the missile part on saturday came down north korea state media agency says crews were given no early warning at of the order to launch the croissant 15 intercontinental ballistic missile proof. it says of capability to deliver quote, fatal nuclear counter attack. happily the launch kim jo, john, the sister of north korea's leader, said whether to use the pacific ocean as a shooting range depends on the united states. north korea is not happy with the ramping up outside of military exercises between the u. s. zakiria, which will take place in march. there's also a tabletop exercise that will look at nuclear sc

u. s. and despite new miss assurances that it didn't, i was a threat. also, i had this our less than a teaspoon of dry hand to write a little bit about this amount. this is just about the amount of a teaspoon. we have 1st hand descriptions of biological weapons. factories on wheels and on rails called the top claim. the life of hundreds of thousands of innocent iraqis, 20 years on cynthia, post the invasion of iraq, the un, we kept the legacy of the devastating war. perform a chief, un weapons inspector to iraq, questions washington's really. united states government had no intention allowing the inspectors to do their job. the united states was going to go to war with iraq regard regardless, it doesn't matter what the truth was and the more successful we inspectors became can disarming. iraq. the more threat we posed to the american policy under the iraqi journalist to 3 issues that then president george w bush became a symbol of protest against us invasions across the world. the thought of hi

and then of course, there still the u. s. factor will the u. s. defense taiwan, or will they help taiwan and withers than escalate in a, a real pacific war. so i think in are there lot of variables still on the table, but it's clear that she's in ping once taiwan to back in chinese fold. and i wouldn't doubt that an intention, no point. he makes it very clear. however, there are very many variables as you mentioned, and also very dubious or, or confusing discourses, even in china when it comes to the use of force. jim, it is always mentioned, but it is always mentioned that they don't want to do. i think them as we are know that is hard to get like so the opinion polls phrase upon chinese public how much people are actually supporting to take over town by force and how much not. but look at the sentiments from people and i think it's, it's similar but, but like russia, you know, they could, when, when something turn only happens and how i is always a very good excuse to unites sort of on a national level. and i think a 11 article recently publis

u. s. and western countries in general, do not care about history and people's about the lives of the syrians. how can you, how can n syrian civilian or individual here believe that the u. s. care is about 3 and people while the u. s. itself and the us listen killed, hundreds of syrians during the christ has an air ride on syria, destroyed houses, the u. s. and looting serious 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 courses. former us president donald from said you said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the syrian government to get that all those statements and those act why they not. it is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation and fight syria. all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the conferences to, to stay divided the end of the day. they don't car

u. s. was bidding their wall 100. so salvador and watermarks and environments the u. s. nicaragua was not. but then the us supported of ireland who attempted to a 1018 then, you know, initiated at least 3 rounds of sanctions, economic sanctions against the country. and yeah, so that has hurt the country and led to this increase in migration. could we call that some sort of a blowback? well, in a sense, yeah, in the truth is all this migration from central america is blowback. right? i mean, let's, let's face it, the you are supported. right? when dictatorships and how, salvador, that killed 75000 people in guatemala, the kill 200000 people in honduras, they killed thousands of people. and yeah, the fruit, the, that was born by that is this huge migrations. the u. s. has destroyed these societies in these countries. nicaragua has been one country that has whether that storm because frankly, the good governance of the san an east is. but you know, the u. s. is doing everything you can to undermine that. it can be in that side. yes. that will lead to more migration. so ye

u. s. and during this, this time, we showed up for the 1st time to do doc militants ordered military operations in the border region of boxes. and i've got to stand. and there was also a diamond buckets and saw huge and very aggressive and unpopular joint campaign by the u. s. and died caused. and that led to a creation of an insurgent movement in buck given a deadly insurgent movement. no anesthetic added on buckets on a t t p which has killed thousands of bikers. i mean, ever since. but i just quickly say, but when the u. s. o n michelle was supporting the us, what on that it is them. he was also accused of also secretly supporting. i've got taliban, so he remains on complicated figure. complicated indeed, it sounds like pakistan is as is you know, much better than i has a long tradition of military involvement. let's just say it outright interference in democratic processes. has a turn to page? no. so yeah, military has room for the most for decades. this is the 1st time in pakistan's histor

u. s. and it's a utopian partners and nato, all of a sudden were, you know, going out and generous to the global south, and generous to others. instead, they did the opposite. they went on the warpath. they destroyed yugoslavia. they went to eventually into afghanistan, into iraq, into libya. they've destroyed syria. they've gone through countless countries and just reeked havoc and devastation. so everybody else is watching this over the past few decades is saying, this is coming for us. not only russia and china, the dpr kate under, you know, 1st under kim's janiella, now under kim's, when they're watching. and they're saying, absolutely not. we're not gonna believe that they have our legitimate interests, or that they care about our sovereignty and our territorial integrity. they don't, and so ultimately, over the past few decades, you know, vladimir putin has tried a persistently to call for negotiations to call for diplomacy to call for something to happen. and what you've seen is further

now hundreds of people have gathered in a church and the u. s. city of memphis to remember terry nichols who died after being beaten by police last month. family members remembered him as loving and peaceful and called for more action to prevent more cases of police brutality. gabriel is under reports from memphis. ah, it was a moment to celebrate tyree nichols life in gospel and prayer, but also in sorrow when those monsters murdered my maybe brother. do you live me completely harbor bro. you gone too soon? nichols was 29 years old and a father of a 4 year old child. he liked skateboarding with his friends, and he was an amateur photographer. he take pictures and post them on his website. he loved his mom so much. he tattooed her name on his arm and often would rush home to eat with her on his lunch break while at work. at the memorial service, some parents of other african americans killed by police were in attendance. nichols, mom called for new laws to swiftly punish police, accused of killing innocent people to texas acts because this would b
