u. s. a lie to guess, feather. china's neck. sure. port will just be a drill. ian chang is an associate professor at the national university of singapore, and i asked them what these drills demonstrate about china's preparedness to potentially strike taiwan. so these drills they demonstrate, again, are china's ability to mark as are different kinds of operations. this includes potentially a blockade. this potentially includes on airstrikes, our missile strikes, so on and so forth. but i guess it's not fundamentally different from what the p r c has been doing over the past few years. i. it's a more concentrated, but the nature of what it's doing is pretty much the same. so in the sense, i think there's a lot of normalization already actually on taiwan towards attraction that let's zoom out a little bit. taiwan has condemned china for undermining peace and stability in the region. how worried are other nearby countries about add a military escalation? so i think many nearby countries are worried there increasingly where each japa

u. s. ally to guess feather. china's neck show force will just be a drill will enjoy now by bradley bowman. he's the senior director of the center on the military and political power at the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington. d. c. brad, it's good to have you back on the program. so we've seen what 3 days of military muscle flexing by the chinese, around taiwan. some at the pentagon have said that this is an example of china over reacting to the situation as it is right now. how would you describe thanks nancy, johnny, i would describe this as a, a very significant, aggressive destabilizing and irresponsible exercise. i say that when you look at the quantity of ships and aircraft and bald their activities and their locations, you know this, this is a significant deal. and what is beijing up to here? i would say they're obviously rehearsing an air and naval blockade. one of the forms of aggression that many of us have thought we could see they're clearly trying to implement a. busy long term campaign of provocation, i would say to wear down taiwan forces. i think they'r

u. s. ally to guess feather china's neck, show a 4th will just be a drill. did i because one and william young is entire peer and he told me was the 3rd day of drills has seen her on taiwan. so. so this morning we have seen dozens of chinese fighter jets again entering, ty, one's air defense identification zone in at least 35 of those have in fact across the center line of the time one street. but why is in fact more concerning is the confirmation. both by the time when he's defense ministry and also the japanese defense ministry that china us aircraft, carrier group, chandel has, in fact participated in this military exercise from the western pacific that is on the east side of time. wine and our there are at least 80 landing and takeoff activities that it has been successfully carried out in a what the experts are saying is that now that the china can prove that they can carry out attacks potentially from the east side of time. one, there is no longer any safe zone for time one to actually preserve its military capability. and also on this, at the same tim

u. s. citizen, even guess coverage has been officially charged with spying and has been not guilty . he's being held for 2 months in pre trial detention following his arrest. the kremlin said he had been caught, quote, read, did you up to date? those are our current headlines, earth rise systems, changes the program coming up next. saw them be back with the news are in just under 30 minutes to stay with us, but by ah, a ah, so far in this series of as rise, i seen how people it's happening to the law to ensure those responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. a house, 2 accounts, judgements in the netherlands where the dutch government and the energy giant shall were found to be in breach of human rights having a ripple effects around the world. mm. in this program, i'm looking at some more ground breaking legal precedence, which being forceful like those seeking to protect our planets and own life on it. mm. mm. to south america. in the aunties high above the city of what i was, a delegation of judges, lawyers, scientists, and activists ads the world's press, a tracking up to nature p

u. s. so i guess the question is, who are they trying to route out here? i think that they're trying to route out. well, there are 2 answers to that question. first, they are trying to route out legitimate propagandists, people whose job it is to try to change the narrative. i understand that i get that every country does it. but the, the 2nd part of the answer is they're trying to root out anybody who might be influential in changing the outlook of the mainstream. the government has told us what the official view is. the official view is that if you're american, you support ukraine and you support the efforts that the white house is taking to arm and to equip ukraine if you're an american and you disagree with that. and many of us do, many of us don't want to spend billions of dollars in taxpayers money to, to arm ukraine. then the idea is to silence you. and they can do that overly, which is a little bit dangerous, or they can do it covertly by trying to effect the algorithm on the social media platform that you're using so that nobody can see what your

i guess the u. s. government has a back door into all of these companies. and this has just been exposed within the last few months that they have so much access and they can demand who is centered, what post removed. they can control the floor information to steer people in the way they want to make it very scary stuff. george orwell is still your school chief, a ship my going cut through love, which i deal with from them is up there. no such agency and the fee that they should get or would that? no, i think that's the owner with a better way to not see and then general hayden, is this nefarious or is this naivete sim youth in unit month, michael morrell, authority, i worked all over for you with the recipient that through the email. still good. i don't want to go to school with a to come. what initially of them going you are. thanks on the store. i've got a dish words with a switch at the shiny ad for kit, a, b, e. and it's fun. my electric and lambda. i mean, it can get this little more with somebody else as opposed to products that are some a facebook a

i guess the u. s. government has a back door into all of these companies. and this has just been exposed within the last few months that they have so much access and they can demand who is centered or post removed. they can control the floor information to steer people in the way they want to make it very scary stuff. george orwell is a senior chief. i'm not sure why he didn't come to the rule love, which i deal with from the past. no such agency and the fee that they should get or would that? no. so i think that's the owner with a better way to not see and then general hayden, is this nefarious, or is this naive attack you of any percentage of michael moral authority? i will talk over to you about with the recipient that 0 do with dana still good. i don't come to school with a couple more initially came from going your thanks on the top store. i've jennifer, i guess with hillary clinton were fed up with a switch at the shanie ad for kit, a, b, e i was it sold for my electrical lambda? i mean, it kind of gets this little more with somebody else as opposed t

u. s. dollar, i'm joined by my guess rick sterling in walnut creek. he is a journalist at anti war dot com in winnipeg. we have radical decide she is a professor at the university of manitoba and here in moscow we have ralph niemeyer . he is chairman of the council for a constitution and sovereignty or at cross sack rosen if that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate rebecca if i go to you 1st. in winnipeg, we hear a lot of stories. i talked about this a number of years ago, the end of dollar dominance. now it's becoming a very common theme in financial media, political media, even. what is the danger or what, what is the prospects for the u. s. dollar as more and more countries are trading in their own currencies. go ahead in winnipeg, i think that the more than ever the dollar has always been very problematic. people, even it's most ardent advocates have already said it's not effect, but it's the best system we've got in cetera. so it's all we've had problems in serving the world reliably stable lee unusually. but today the u.

u. s. state department spoke about the situation there at a briefing. our jurors roseman jordan was there. are you look rested? i guess if they don't stop fighting, what is the u. s. prepared to do in order to get to a cease fire. his a main point to both of these generals continues to be urging to extend the currencies fire through april 23rd. that is what he has consistently raised with these 2 generals. specifically, i'm not going to get ahead of any actions that the us may or may not take. we are looking at a full range of options available and we are working with our partners to ensure the response is coordinated, inconsistent whenever possible. but our viewpoint is, is that the most important thing to happen right now is for the ceasefire that was announced on april 19th to be extended. how long are the u. s. as allies willing to watch the situation to terry rate across cartoon, and north of the country. mean it's basically all out war. now, i don't think we're, we're watching and standing by. we are engaging on this. we're engaging on this, as i said, on multiple fronts. one of them being, of course, the safety

i guess the markets the u. s. department of justice says the f b i has the rest of the day 21 year old air national guard service men in connection with an allegedly of classified national security documents. american officials say some of those files were altered before release, which has raised questions over the legitimacy of the papers. our teeth kayla me up and reports us officials say he came peacefully, he did not resist arrest the 21 year old jack t x. the era is a member of the massachusetts air national guard, and it is reported that the new york time was involved in figuring out that he was responsible for the leaks. he was a member of a discord server with 20 to 30 other people. some of them were teenagers, under the age of 18, in this discord server they shared at jokes, means themes were firearms, racism, as well as christianity and opposition to us foreign policy. apparently this member of the air national guard wanted to let his friends in the discord server know about what was actually going on.

i guess every country around the world, especially the u. s. i'm sure even the u. s. is a read of all this. and that's the reason why the twins are moving. it's essentially a function of becoming a multi point word, and that's why the guarantees are going to be multiple. so really fascinated commentary of every vikram lives. a public policy analyst and business analyst as well. joining us here and auntie international. thank you very much for joining us . thank you, laurie. thank you. thank you as well for joining us and sharing your start today with all of us here at asi international in moscow way back soon with ah. 2 2 2 2 we've talked a lot about national security whistleblowers this season. the average whistleblower is somebody in the middle of his or her career who sees evidence of waste fraud abuse illegality, or threats to the public health or public safety. those whistleblowers usually have 5 to 15 years or so in their agencies and they're concerned about upholding their own to the constitution. it's unusual when a senior officer, a very senior officer, blows

u. s. i believe an accused china of potentially planning to sell weapons to russia. how i guess detrimental to the world, older and, and, and, and, and the pace. and i guess the fragile nature of where everything is at, at the moment, i mean, how destructive would it be if that was to come to fruition? i think now everybody has to be very they so good because we are very close to a major conflict. the military actions for the time being are only between 2 countries. many other countries are involved already in directly through sanctions, is full financial means supplies, or other can buildings. and now we are in a very, very dangerous situation to think about what we've been that would be in the next step. and the expansion of the conflict would be detrimental. like you mentioned, you know, it's having a, it's not just ukraine and russia that are being impacted. it's obviously having an impact right around the world. and we've recently saw that the world food program had to slash its funding for our think of muslims because of basically a financial shortfall. i mean, how did for

for me what this means in terms of problems for the intelligence community at this point, and i guess the u. s the reputation of the united states . i mean, this isn't supposed to happen in the in the years since edward snowden and the big release of classified material that he did. that's exactly right. i mean, look, it can obviously be damaging to our relationship with allies because they understand what we're collecting on them. it will certainly be damaging to our situation with our adversaries because they're going to know a lot more about what we know and about our analysis of what we know about them. that's a challenge, and of course, it will undermine our ability to supply ukrainians with military equipment because it demonstrates in one particular instance. how we're thinking about 155 millimeter howitzer ammunition keep heart of the weaponry that were granted to the ukrainian military by our capabilities to supply it and how much they're getting from where? just wild. this was on a discord group. you know, people , then minecraft, gamers and minecraft. this has been circulating for m

that's the view this book and still podcast. host is a guess on the latest episode of going underground. and you believe the u. s. has abandoned its previous policy, which is walking back so that they know where china is fed by red light and just.

u. s. nato and nato course is u. s. and he's just going to do what they say to do, because he's basically in a box. so i guess he's rake and then a lot of cash in the process. i doubt if any of it's going to be lower ranking the military personnel, the foreign policy to postpone the plan trip to china, saying you've tested positive for cove it. but the cancellation comes amid rising controversy over recent remarks by the french president who called for the e. u to have more autonomy from the us and the more lenient policy towards china. the head of the european council weighed in on the issue and express support for the french leaders views. there is indeed a great attachment the remains present and the manual macro has said nothing else for this alliance with the united states. but if this alliance with the united states would suppose that we blindly systematically follow the position of the united states on all issues. no, there has been a leap forward on strategic autonomy compared to several years ago. first of all, sha michelle is totally wrong about there being a big leap forward in strategic european a

so again, still podcast. host is a guess on the latest episode of going underground. have you believe c, u s. has abandoned its previous policy, which is walking back so that they know what china is fed by red light is just like what they do is glochelle.

the wall street journal correspondent, environment, guess coverage on charges of spine for the u. s. government us citizens residing are traveling in russia, should depart right away. any us citizen, reciting or traveling, and russia should depart immediately, us citizens residing or travelling in russia should depart immediately. process pharmacy side of someone have taken issue with the washington warnings. she says a should be aimed only at americans in russia who gauge in espionage. a russian court has ruled the american jazz behind bars for 2 months, while an investigation takes place. he has been accused of using his correspondent job as a cover obtain classified information about the russian defense industry. he now faces up to 2 decades in prison. we heard from alice wyatt read, who says this is not the 1st case of journalist and allegedly working as a spy. there is a long tradition of spies using journalistic cover to infiltrate countries who their governments may be targeting. we know that there was actually a secret loophole that allowed the agency to use journalists unde

so i guess every country around the world, especially the u. s. i'm sure even the u. s. is aware of all this, and that's the reason why the claims are now moving it's, it's essentially a function of becoming a multi bullet word. and that's why the currencies are going to be want to put a really fascinated commentary of effort vikram limbs, a public policy analyst, and business analyst as well. joining us here in our t international. thank you very much for joining us. thank you, laurie. thank you. thank you as well for joining us and sharing your saturday with all of us here at archie international in moscow. we are back soon with.

guess hh-s— with it? because i suppose i guess hh-s u— with it? ey were it. probably had as they were in it. probably had some in soviet russia some meaning in soviet russia that supposed to be that it was supposed to be softening. i mean, it probably means something— 3 i mean, it probably means something ridiculous, like ssheeh—hh- school or something. i bet it hus— school or something. i bet it hes-she— school or something. i bet it has-onelthose- school or something. i bet it has one those terms school or something. i bet it- has-onelthose terms that has some one of those terms that is has some one of those terms that hs hush— has some one of those terms that hs hush uh— has some one of those terms that is just an interesting choice of wrhs — is just an interesting choice of wrhs huh— is just an interesting choice of words. but so— is just an interesting choice of words. but so that's- is just an interesting choice of words. cc is just an interesting choice of words. but so that's and he's not mentioned sudan at all, which going to which which w

u. s. supreme court where it's still anybody's guess what happens there? and one of the reasons for that, caroline is because this is the culmination of decades and decades of a conservative effort to reshape the courts, and i think perhaps no one is more emblematic of this at this moment than this judge in amarillo, texas, judge matthew because merrick i want you to just listen to some of the language used in this ruling that i think tells us a lot about where this is going with. mr preston is a synthetic steroid that blocks progesterone halts nutrition and ultimately starves the unborn born human until death. jurists often used the word fetus inaccurately character, uh, inaccurately identify unborn humans. he also writes. many women also experience intense psychological trauma from seeing the remains of their aborted children. the point being the language used here is very much in the antiabortion world. and this entire ruling is framed in that way. tell us why the language was really striking to me, abbie , um, as you said, unborn human instead of fetus

u. s officials and the official dome, i guess if you will of what's actually going on here, the taiwanese president is actually going through the united states not having a visit directed at the united states. i think it's those dynamics when you put it into the full context. of a bilateral relationship between the us and china that has been just at heightened tensions that only seems to be accelerating over the course of the last several weeks that you reach this point where they are at right now and where us officials are watching very closely for that response that they have been urging chinese officials over the course of the last several days not to actually engage it. all right. phil mattingly will ripley. thank you so much for joining us. and for more on this, josh rogan is joining us. he is a columnist for the washington post and the author of chaos under heaven, trump she and the battle for the 21st century, josh. always good to have you on. so as we just heard out from phil, you have the united states in thai play taipei downplaying this visit, calling it a transit stop. is that

u. s. a spying of the un. but it is where this is always very embarrassing when it comes out, i guess. and it seems that monitoring antonio gutierrez, the secretary journals, personal conversations and private communications. so i'm telling you got her as, according to this later stripes, the u. s. field, he's to accommodating to the russians. specifically, as he was trying to shepherd through the black fi grain deal, that was the deal that ensured that ukrainian grain fertilizer fuel could make it to, to the actual markets and low prices for supply chains. and the u. s. went terribly happy. they said that maybe gutierrez was, was, was to accommodating to the russians on that. then there is a private conversation between gutierrez and his deputy amena mohammed where gutierrez apparently express his dismay at a call from the commission president to produce more weapons and ammunition for the war in ukraine, which is interesting. and then the deputy, i mean i'm a 100 also talks about a recent summit of african leaders apparently and says that she feels that can use president william route

so i guess the question becomes, are there any limits to the level of u. s. a ukraine or isn't in fact a bottomless pit. i mean, how long can they continue to go on like this? i think the politically, there's going to be a limit. there's going to be a last back at some point. but, you know, if you hear the rhetoric coming out of the apartment in the white house, it's like, it's a bottom line. yeah. and so it's really going to be up to congress break. and, and that means the people, i mean look, that we've got so many problems here that drug flowing across the border. we've got accidents happening. we've just had another explosion today that was horrible. other chemical type, the floating you've got to, you know, how i got issues in our schools. you know, people are fed up, they are fed up and at some point it is we'll backlash. but right now we've got a state where we've got a policy that is going full, bore ahead, no back back, nothing at all, no off brand plan, new strategy. and we've got a white house that supporting them as well. so it's very dangerous si

the hearing the event organizer has been arrested handing out i guess the equivalent of 10 u s dollarsi mean, what? what can you tell us? i mean, this is a truly heartbreaking tragedy in one of the most hard struck corners of the world. i know you just showed that video. i don't know if we can play a little bit more of it again. but you can see in that video. just a wall of humanity. just this horde of people, some of them trapped in the middle of the crowd. you can hear people screaming for help. it's truly harrowing. some people with their arms flailing, hoping for help to no avail. as you mentioned those dozens of people were gathered to get just $10 of charity, just $10 to 78 people being killed. local authorities say that to merchants were handing out ramadan aid at sunset. this is a normal tradition during the holy month when people started rushing the doors of this school as soon as they were open that resulted in the surge. the crush the stampede that killed those dozens of people, those two merchants now now arrested. dozens more have been wounded in, authorities say they will

u. s. was shaping when she said, well, s the victory angela, and certainly i guess, hasn't shown any regret for her involvement and all of that at least. but when it comes to this us ambassador, what do you think is the purpose of this interview to rush and media specifically? i mean, this is her introduction to the country. so she is laying out the boiler plate us position in the narrative. she did make a teper attempt to speak over the head of the russian government to the russian. people saying all we don't have any problem with you. it's just your government completely neglecting the fact. first that the u. s. is waging an existential economic war of sanctions. and weapon ization of their control, the global financial system, which collectively punishes the entirety of the russian population. and many of the u. s. is european allies, both leaders, politicians, coal, for russians to be punished and that russian culture must be cancelled. and then russia must be defeated and split into pieces. so i'm, quite obviously, the russian people would probably disagree with that. even out of pocke

that's the so in steel podcast, host, who's a guess on the latest episode of going underground. i do believe the u. s. has a bad that it's previous policies us is lucky bad because they know china is.

u. s. has reportedly illegally transported $32.00 tank is of syrian oil to its military bases across the board in a rog now. so i guess the syrian foreign ministry estimated the countries oil and gas loss is due to washington sanctions at $107000000000.00. esteban korea news editor of the cradle outlet safety u. s. need siri, an oil. the fun that proxies is not actually interested in fighting terrorists, the locals in the north and reported a new come by of because of the patient army taking out several over 2000 and tankers of seriana oil to their records in iraq. so this is something that happens on a weekly basis from we're on reporting from our own investigations or the cradle. so these, these bankers they are taking out of syria and not so much for the us to still need for their own benefit, but to be resolved. in order to fund these militia the, approximately, the interior man, chief among the democratic forces and all their activity that they carry out on the iraq, the united states, and the as the control, large majority of the areas producing sector and which came up there after that the russian army entered

there is a guess on the latest episode of going underground and you believe the u. s. has abandoned its previous policy. is walking back on that because they know where china's light red light is, just like what they do with people who are seen russia red line. oh, she made it easy. were thousands of refugees in burundi. they've having their already meagre ration slash and half with the world food program, saying it simply doesn't have enough funds. that's as large trunks that age are allocated to praying. we are starving, we eat only once a day. i suffer the heart attack due to hunger. the government and other stakeholders need to remember and the central african nation of chat borders, the german ambassador to pack his bags. i can't think him of making an diplomatic comment with you live from the russian capital business r t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the latest news. welcome to the program. us republican, congressman michael mccall, who heads the house foreign affairs committee, believes washington will not hesitate to send troops to taiwan. if it m

so again, still podcast shows, there is a guess on the latest episode of going underground. have you believe c, u s. has abandoned its previous policy, was walking back so that they know where china's bit light red light is, just like what they do with people who are seeing russia red line. oh, but she made it easy. were thousands of.

that's the so in steel podcast, host, who's a guess on the latest episode of going underground, i do believe the u. s. has a band that it's previous policies. us is walking back on that because they know china's light red light is just like what they do is glochelle push. keep on pushing rushes, go red line. oh, push nato, using words and of the central african nation of chat orders, the german ambassador to pack his bags, accusing him as making. i'm diplomatic comment with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. oh, leak of classified us documents about ukraine and china, which are circulating online is being urgently investigated by the pentagon. media outlets site us officials, claiming the files are genuine with one even admitting it's a quote nightmare for washington intel agencies. my colleague unit o'neill discussed the revelations with r t shaped bows. it's the astounding air leak of over a 100 highly classified documents. and they were released widely on the social media as well,

u. s. is really a national security accident or an act on purpose. i mean, that's anybody's guess. but such revelations have at least to confirm the old saying that nothing is as what it seems, but let's face it. there is nothing wrong for every country big or small to be conscious of looking after its own interest to which of course.

u. s. for child who was remote, he bought one in 96 and another in 2016. and there's even, you know, reporting that he had or not, i guess it was reported. it was in one of the last against his estate that he had remodeled the island. so it wasn't, you couldn't see it from other islands. i think that's the, the reason you chose the u. s. virgin islands, aside from it just, you know, being a beautiful place and because the fact you get these huge tax breaks. but it is true that and in the u. s. virgin islands, which as you mentioned, it's a u. s. territory. he had a lot of connections with the local politicians there and maybe because it was such a place, it's easier to to buy of politicians there. for instance, the wife of the former governor john to john junior. she worked at the office of southern trust which was jeffrey ups. and it was the shell company, essentially that jeff represented jeffrey up on the island. and it was the company through which a lot of the money was coming through the, the j. p. morgan chase accounts that these law suits a lead. she used to facilitate the trafficking of these women and girls and
