u. s. has long been engaged in the syrian crisis, is frequent military strikes and harsh economic sanctions have caused huge civilian casualties and taken away. syrians means for subsistence in the wake of the catastrophe, the u. s. should put aside geopolitical obsessions in immediately lift the unilateral sanctions on syria to unlock the doors for humanitarian aid to syria. almost 300 buildings have collapsed and syria, the northern city of al, up, up here. the turkish border is one of the areas most effective residents were forster flu, their homes, and have been gathering at shelters where they are, provide it with necessary accommodations. those facilities were chosen because they are far from tall buildings. as resonance fear that more structures will collapse. boswell, western sanctions, particularly from the u. s. have been walking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. russian troops serving in syria have been providing medical assistance and humanitarian aid to local residents, and the areas affect it. india has also joined russia in assisting in those devastated re

u s officials tell abc news the spy balloon, which was intended for surveillance may have been inadvertently blown over the u. s mainland by unusual weather conditions, according to the washington post, u. s military and intelligence agencies have been tracking the balloon for nearly a week, even watching it as it lifted off from its home base near china, eventually taking an unexpected northern turn towards alaska solution islands where it could have countered strong winds that pushed it further south. however another senior us officials casting doubt on the report telling abc it sounds like the intelligence community is trying to save face. former national security advisor john bolton criticizing the administration on cnn. could they say with assurance that that payload under the balloon, which they described as equivalent to three busses? did not contain a nuclear weapon. meanwhile new dramatic cockpit audio from f 16 fighter pilots tracking that unidentified flying object over michigan's lake huron. missile was launched at the object and missed the second missile hit the object that wrec

u. s. has been courting countries, president biden himself leading the reception. you might remember this mean, do the asi on countries respect the u. s. as vaulted position, as you see them, they're playing, follow the leader as president biden brings them all out in this ceremony they had at the white house, this reception. well, of course they do, of course, nobody saying that they don't respect the united states, that they're not going to be working with the united states. this is going to continue, but what they also know is that the us is no longer the only game in town. no longer the only game in town. in fact, the same could be said these days about many of these regional blocks all the way from the middle east through africa. and of course, my backyard, latin america. joining us now to talk about this is a former foreign minister of austria. koreen can, isaac is a political and list to serve as austria as foreign minister from 2017 to 2019. and she's good enough to join us now because she is really smart when it comes to this stuff. so we're so glad that we

u. s. has been granted more access to philippine military bases. the defense actually lloyd austin has been holding talks with the president feds and, and marcus junior in minnesota. you asked now have access to an additional 4 basis taking the total to 9 as go to our correspond bobby low, who joyce is from the philippine capital. good to see barnaby. so what do we know about these new bases? well, moline, as he mentioned, what we know for sure now is that there are now 4 additional locations across the philippines. that the u. s. military will have access to the already have access to 5 military bases here in the philippines. that's under the enhanced defense corporation agreement, signed in 2014, under the administration of former president, been ignored keno the 3rd. now from the joint statement. we know that the u. s has already invested some $82000000.00 in these old sites that they have had access to . they have committed to investing more in the new sites, of course that philippine military will have access to more u. s. military equipment.

u. s. for around to sell one of its most valuable assets? it's oil on petroleum products to asian? well, i think if we understand how the u. s. has been imposing its policies and imperialist ambitions around the world. it's not very difficult to understand that the u. s. is a u. s. is basically fearing that it will lose its growth on the region and on other nations and. and as i said, these exterior territorial sanctions are means to kind of give a lesson to any country that there's to stand against the u. s. is the extra territory all coercive measures and sanctions. so the u. s. is very worried that, for example, other countries would tend to deal with iran with russia, china, that the u. s. c's ads as it rivals around the world. but at the same time, i mean, you can see that, for example, european countries did not, did not stand to usaa and of course of measures and even a accepted that their own citizens would be dealing with the economy could difficulties when it came to the sanctions on impose on russia and iran, and they refused to deal with iran and russia directly even though those policies that they adopted. 2 given to u. s

u. s. has been the party, the one calling the shots and this is well known around the world, the u. s. role and, and the 2014 coo and in the years should follow the pumping in of an enormous amount of equipment and trainers, but also the militarization of all of ukrainian societies. the propaganda nation that took place in the schools in those within the whole fabric of society, in the media. the outline of political organizations that in any way were opposed to setting of the school curriculum. this is all a us plan from start to finish and cranium had no. so it's a complete destruction of their sovereignty. of course. but the, the fascists grouping who's really running the show in ukraine today are willing to sell their soul and sell the ukrainian people. and it has been extremely destructive. and the only the only choice in this is really to get rid of them. i mean, they're the ones who are in a complete alliance with us and they know in a destruction of their own country. many thanks for speaking to us this evening. really appreciate your insight into the matter. we've been speak

u. s. been so far away and having to travel so far, to create havoc, just doesn't appreciate what, what, what mr. newton was talking about. if we were next door to russia, they were to understand. yeah, look at george jeff can in the architect of contain mentoring the, the cold war? i don't think if he were alive today, he would be called the potent apologist. ok, but i mean, he said this way, back in the day, he was actually skeptical of nato being formed in the 1st place. ok, and then, and i think he died at the ripe old age of 101. and he was still saying, nato expansion is a very bad idea. so people will say on twitter, you know, the 4 of us are just puppets and all that. but the, one of the greatest geopolitical thinkers of all time, set it decades ago. lucas. yeah, i mean look, people who call us apologists, they're just in my opinion, they're just either ignorant or they're trolls their box that can be napa box while they're psycho as though understand war. i've been at war, i wouldn't wi

u. s. over the last couple of days. lee, tensions between the u. s. and china have been escalating for some time. not just during the tenure of the u. s. president joe biden, but they've been ratcheting up under the presidency of donald trump. there were sanctions that were put in place, or rather tariffs that were put in place, very strict trade tariffs. ah, and as well, there have been a very intense words that have been put in place, and we should point out when it comes to those trade tariffs. ah, those were not dropped to on the part of joe biden. and so there have been a very tense exchanges that have taken place. what we've heard joe biden talking about his strong relationship with the chinese government. we also know that there has been back door espionage to the u. s. is accused the chinese government of being responsible for, for decades. and so this is sort of an ongoing concern of the united states that this is just when the case of this balloon. well, it is kind of a low tack version of intelligence gathering. most of the means of intelligence gathering tends to be more in the form of

u. s. been very nasty molig to match symbolic until now, so things. and that definitely going to be to be different. it is feel that there were some from countries from european countries that you members had in the past to add them, frankly, to be not for much supportive as the others. i respect you too dear to you, cray. ah, but at the same time, what we thought do in this meeting was there are more let's a comprehensive approach to ukraine. obviously some countries i don't know, like under a for example, didn't them of traitor, a complete, a complete new approach. but in some way with me, it was a little bit more because they soleski was here for expecting a bit more and probably it was a, it was using a more strategic approach. cautious approach, digit ones. well, sir, he or we only have a couple minutes left, or i want to ask you when it comes to present zalinski, trying to ensure that ukraine can join the you. do you think that ukraine will be able to join you in an expedited manner and also more importantly, what can you membership offer ukrain

u. s. capital to discuss the so called inflation reduction act on monday. 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

u. s. has been granted more access to philippine military bases. defense thought secretary lloyd austin has been holding talks with president ferdinand marcus junior. in manila, u. s. troops now have access to an additional 4 basis taking the total to 9. let's find out more the significance of this, we're joined by bond me. low who is in manila for us, ought to be good to see. so what do we know about these new bases that the u. s. military will have access to. busy or moline, as you mention, we know now that there are 4 additional philippine military bases, that the u. s. will have access to the u. s. military already has access to 5 different military bases across the philippines. under the enhanced defense corporation agreement, which was signed back in 2014, under the administration of former president min ignore aquino, the 3rd, the joint statement by the 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 locat

u. s. and that, that's been going on for years. yeah. yeah. it's just, it's just an enhancement. it's probably mostly for intelligence purposes, even though they've got an airfield there and that probably will be expanded. and it, it can be a very central listening post if you will, for not only in the mediterranean, because of, of turkey and syria. but also all of north africa and in, and the potential expansion as the united states. these are a russian influence going into africa as well. so it's, it's a multi, has a multi purpose and it's in very friendly areas. so you would suggest the possible expansion of the american presidents in cyprus, which as you said, is a strategic location in the mediterranean given its proximity to europe, to africa. and to many of those are states is more would be more connected with sort of theory and africa than what's going on in europe and ukraine at the moment . well, it can also, it can also serve in a limited way with the ukraine, but i see it aimed more at the middle east and north africa. it certainly can be turned around to see what's g

u. s. has been granted access to additional military.

forced to flee their homes and have been gathering at shelters for they are provided with necessary accommodations. meanwhile, western sanctions, particularly from the u. s. had been blocking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. as you can see on this map, major air carriers avoid entering syrian territory. china has demanded that the u. s. remove at sanctions against syria. beijing said the us embargo on syria has disrupted aid supplies and made the humanitarian crisis in the middle eastern country. even worse. the u. s. has long been engaged in the syrian crisis. it's friggin motor strikes and hush. economic sanctions have caused huge civilian casualties and taken away serious means for subsistence in the wake of the catastrophe.

eternal peace and, and small politicians for their own ambitions have been driving, not to expansions that become threatening the u. s. i have been stationing miss our systems right next to the russian border with our systems are legit, the 4th and 5th purposes, but they can be in a matter of minutes they can be turned into offensive weapons. and of course, a country cannot live in peace, cannot relax, or when it is under threat, within minutes to see its big urban areas destroyed by natal missiles. so this is the reality. not many academic colleagues, not many journalists have the courage to speak this harsh reality, but nevertheless, the propaganda and the exaggerations and b u t. area, the drum beating, coming specially from the sultan book, is not going to change reality. reality is that this conflict is reaching what, what we academics would call the point of ripeness. the conflict is becoming right to be resolved. all these soldiers, economies are becoming tired of it. and that is actually the only positive development at this stage. with the pressure on to continue fading this conflict, do you think there's so

u. s. has been using to refuse entry to migrants, but no more. the u. s. has done a deal with mexico ensuring they stay in that country while they wait us authority sites work to dissuade many from crossing illegally. a drop of 42 percent between december and january and hells. an example is from nikolai, were jumped the boot offense to us for asylum, thinking he'd be able to stay. but he was sent back to mexico. now he's in a shelter in p one. now you may see over the phone cuz i was still in the car and i had found out that the talk to was gun. i wouldn't have come, i was an animal that will please us authority and come in, president biden's administration perhaps had to do something the last fiscal year. they were reco numbers of apprehension of migrants on this, the southern border. and they were under a lot of pressure, especially from republicans to get those numbers down. the new strategy has other elements to rewards, as well as penalties. one is the humanitarian pro program for applicants from haiti, cuba, nicaraguan venezuela, to stay in the u. s

u. s care is about 3 and people while the us itself and the us. let's listen killed. hundreds of syrians during the christ has been airstrikes on syria destroyed houses, the u. s. looting resources. 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 syrian 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 inside syria. all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the company to, to, to stay divided the end of the day. they don't care, 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 nordstrom to pipelines in september last year. according to the investigation, washington had been planning the blow since late 2021. it's one see 21

u. s. has seen, i've been frequent uninvited guest to chinese territories. take the south trying to see, for example, every year u. s. military send hundreds biplanes over the region for reconnaissance. now the us naval ships have also frequently flex muscles near the chinese waters, including the highlands greats under the guidance, the so called a freedom of navigation. so u. s. military activities have also caused casualties, chinese military personnel and civilians over the years. in 2001 a u. a spy plane illegally enter china's airspace in this house, china c and rammed into chinese fighter jet chinese pilot, one way was declared missing and assumed debt. and in 999, the u. s. b 2 bomber bomb. the chinese embassy in belgrade during and the whole military operation. this right killed 3 chinese reporters and entered dozens of other people. back to you, tanya and son c gtm correspondent with that report. thank you. me back to breaking news on our teen or national a mass of 7.8, magnitude earthquake hit, central cert. tia with 76 people, debt and hundreds of

u. s. has been escalating, a great power competing across the globe. and the country has acted more boldly to interfere the internal affairs of the are the countries and the united states really develop a model playbook to stage a color revolution. and it has overstressed, the concept of national security abuse, export controls and force the unilateral sanctions upon others. so it's basically a series of action in multiple perspectives. and so it's also a pointing out the action of playing the democracy card or rather, you know, hurting the interests of people from many countries. now this, this report is essentially titled the perils of us had gemini. do you think the timing of the report is important? if you look at the timing of the import, this really comes in the same day where you as president joe biden, made a surprise visit to keith. and also not only just this report, but also the 2nd day on tuesday, trying to issue another report. we'll call the global security initiative concept, the paper which is also relevant to more relevant to this secu

u. s. head. philippine officials have been talking to journalists saying that there in our negotiations, that could give additional access to the u. s. military to philippine basis. the u . s. military already has access to 5 different locations across the philippines. under the enhanced defense vault ration agreement, which was signed in 2014, under the administration of former president. many no akina the 3rd. 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 i

u. s. b to fear a young people's fear it up to such a degree when the u. s. has been over stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress other countries. companies. we firmly opposed as wrong action issues in the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy in fair competition. ah, rosalyn jordan has following developments from washington dc. there's been longstanding concern here in washington about to the use of tick tock and whether it is being used to essentially spy on americans of the trumpet ministration raised these concerns of donald trump, the former u. s. president wanted to van the software a, an agency within the u. s. treasury department known as sophia's has been trying to figure out how to awhile tick, talk to continue to operate inside the united states. at one point there was a talk about giving it a very specific operating rules as long as it basically separate it from it's a owner bite, dance and set up a purely us based operation system with in, with very strict firewall. so that data collected

u. s. economy, there's been a surge and new jobs despite the living risk of a recession. u. s. labor department says employers, hard more than half a 1000000 people last month, causing unemployment to fall to his lowest rates since 1969. that is, despite the federal reserve raising interest rates in an effort to curve inflation, resident widened welcome the new sing issue. the strength of the u. s. economy. we have created more jobs in 2 years, in any presidential term that he taught. and 2 years as the strongest 2 years of job growth and history, by a long shot. as my dad used to say, jobs about a lot more than approach it. despite dignity and 12000000 more americans get up every morning knowing they can provide food or famish, with the dignity insurance of so forth that had mission had to jo, castro has more now from washington dc. this is more than double what wall street had been expecting. $517000.00 new jobs created just last month alone. and as well as this falling unemployment rate. now it's at 3.4 percent, which is indeed a 50 year low for the united states. and this

u. s. b to fear a young people's favor it up to such a degree. when the u. s. has been over stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress other countries companies to we firmly oppose this wrong action issue to the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy in fair competition. i did jo castro as more in our from capitol hill. there has been concern best to ring in the u. s. security community for the last 2 years. as the f b i and the department of justice have both warned that one day perhaps china could use tick tock as a tool to spy on its american users. and there are plenty of them and growing more than 100000000, tick tock users in the united states. currently, a cyber experts have also said they agreed that tick tock does pose a potential threat, perhaps not so much on the individual users private information. but on spying an on americans in the aggregate, collecting data on habits, things to fuel the cultural wars, things that could be exploited to spread misinformation or per fact perhaps to influence an

u. s. have been demanding. chinese have been pushing up. so the timing, the action is all very strange. this is one of those situations where i mean, there's just so much speculation out there. there's not much of the mission, i guess, unless the us and canadian authorities, i'm off or coming with whatever other information they collect. the rest of us can just rest on, you know, what is what we're being told. right. china mean time telling everyone to just calm down and let's see what happens. yes. so try it. the chinese response has been interesting and they've not fly out the night. it in other situations where they believe that, you know, they shouldn't be call out or they think that it has nothing to do it then the flat out say, isn't them, but that's not been the case right now. so that response from beijing just adds more to the mystery. thanks so much for helping us through that in show from the n u. s. national university in simple. thank you. and you create a president. zalinski says his country deserves to start talks on joining the european union. this year. is comments came

u. s. has been relying on china and russia to some extent for antimony, are critical mineral and producing ammunition. turns out that the issue was even bought, brought up last year in u. s. congress, as part of biden's drive to cut china out of western sourcing and supply chains. by the way, whatever happened to all the talk last year about russia being low on everything from missiles to ammo in the western press, guess they should run out any day. now, right. pentagon trainers of ukrainian troops are now trying to teach ukrainian soldiers to use less ammo. i quote the place more emphasis on maneuver and shaping the battlefield with fires and then maneuvering. so they'll require less artillery . munitions, as, according to us, defense secretary lloyd austin. i believe the technical term for that is dodging bullets, which isn't exactly a winning strategy, but pay the pentagon in it's nato allies must know what they're doing, right. which is why the european union's chief diplomat yoseph burrell, is asking for countries to rummage around in their closets for any hand me downs that they might

and joyce has been lawrence in the u. s. it's us mentally and military intervention. it would include arm shipments to countries with russia and china service service meant loans that are causing unnecessary conflicts and increased risk to world war 3 of in terms of how chinese and russia leaders can, can try to change our foreign policy. and i mean, that's an answer, i'm afraid i don't have an answer to right to at least try and try to help us understand the psychology of the us decision makers. because i'm sure the military intelligence community knows that at least russia has the kinds of weapons that can inflict enormous damage to the united states. that you guys at this point of time have no defense against. and despite all these put trail of president putin as a, you know, as a psychopath, as it gets a frantic, as an irrational person, is a calculation that he will be, you know, say, say, nor, and wiser than that he will be, in fact, more responsible and not to start the nuclear war, even if he's pushed to the limit. the most surprising thing that i see about pr

u. s have been holding talks to re sent relations with a focus on democracy and climate change. joe biden and brazil's new president lula promised to rebuild strained diplomatic ties. both leaders faced challenges from afar, right after winning elections were put in jeopardy on the lot of the f. b, i has carried out a search at the residents or former us vice president mike pence. the search in indiana is the latest interaction with classified documents. are missing from the white hanover pence who is cooperating with the pro was found to be in the possession of sensitive documents. last month, he denied being aware of them. the u. s. military has shot down an unidentified object over alaska, on orders from president joe biden. officials say it posed a threat to civilian flights. the u. s. air force down to suspected chinese spy balloon. just last week. the white house says it's not clear where the latest object came from. out of an abundance of caution, and the recommendation of the pentagon, president biden ordered the military to down the object and they did. and it came insi

u. s. military shot down a similar object over alaska. on friday, the new object was tracked by the u. s. north american aerospace command for 24 hours after it had been detected flight flight floating over alaska. later on saturday, it entered canadian air space when prime minister just and trudeau, together with president fight an authorized 8 us fighter jet to target the object. officials have not yet revealed any details on the origin of the mysterious aerial body. this comes amid washington's accusations of espionage after a chinese weather balloon crossed into u. s. territory last week and was taken down by the country's military. we've heard from former pentagon official, michael maloof, who said officials need to provide answers on the spike an incident over us skies in recent weeks. it's an increasing problem that we're beginning to, to see more and more of all of a sudden having numerous objects and fly in, in a particularly over the, the north pole. ready area and it's happening very, very rapidly and they're in and in greater succession. and we'll just see where it's going. but that's, that's one of the major questions right now is, what,

been rated to form a reason for the brutal crackdown. one church, his parishioners had some a song about russia ah, in numerous searches, s b. u officers reported they'd found orthodox magazines printed in russia. the s b u didn't care that these publications were religious and had been printed more than 3 years before. oh maybe, but they were from moscow in ukraine. it's long been recently enough to condemn any old adult christian attack in prison and even kill them with steel. as long as saddam gray is kept by the full grain school and miss gordon la nodded, but i can't think he will merely deal with school or slow. what an ssl level on easiest place. i don't know what's going on here in oak road in ask a come on a couple of i was thinking if possible for you may hang up.

u. s. so it was harder to say silence people the court using defamation law . however, there's been 2 cases in the u. s. recently that seem to kind of have loose and not so there was outs. jones recently had to pay, i think almost a $1000000000.00 and amber heard as well, had to pay quite a bit of money and damages more down more in damages that i've ever seen. in a canadian defamation case, and so we're, whatever you think of either of those people because free speech again is not really, it's not about protecting people that you like per se, rape, whatever you think of either of them. i found that quite surprising in terms of the outcomes. i think both the us and canada are not going in great directions as far as free speech is concerned. and not just because of these defamation cases, but because there are more and more entities that are able to silence speech. so we don't just have the government saying, i'm going to imprison you for have speech where i'm going to charge you for that. where loosening defamation laws, tech companies have a control over your participation in the v
