u. s. and china, not least over taiwan. washington has been seeking to increase its influence in the area by forging new alliances against china. so the u. s. sector stayed, anthony blinking has been in hanoi for talks with prime minister, pam, and chin and other leaders. his trip came just after the 50th anniversary of america's withdrawal of combat forces from south vietnam and the end of its direct military involvement in the vietnam war. blinking infused about a new era of cooperation without mentioning vietnam's, giant neighbor china. i also focused on our countries can advance a free and open in the pacific one that is a piece and grounded in respect to the rules based international order. when we talk about free and open, we mean country's being free to choose their own path and their own partners. and their problems will be dealt with openly. rules will be reached transparently and applied fairly and good ideas and people will flow freely across land. the seas, the skies in cyberspace, or for 20 years the u. s. was at war with nor

u. s. has started a crusade against russia's legitimate interest and culture that according to russia's foreign ministers in cuba, on the last stock of his latin american 2 or more and more chewed. so arriving to bill a good of cobra. hobbs ahead of the expected you credited counter a fed to which may will to take place here as moscow and he had prepared for what looks like a looming escalation. par correspondence witnesses events directly from the front lines of the war with the central african republic accuses an insurgent, pair of military group of killing 9 chinese mine workers as the rebels to try to pin the blame on russia's wagner group with . i mean to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i, mary job, love it. here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. we had confirmed our solidarity in international affairs bows. according to russia's foreign minister survey, la grove, who was speaking after a meeting with the president of cuba, they both ag

message, and united states, as i said, has done that many times before, even with chinese companies that don't have investments in the united states. it's the u. s. which has engaged in secret surveillance and what is happening now is political manipulation at china's response to u. s. accusations that beijing, as established an overseas secret police station, based in new york. they may follow the china firmly opposes the u. s. side. slander . political manipulation, malicious fabrication of the so called cross border repression, narrative and blatant prosecution of chinese law enforcement and cyber security. officials, u. s. has long suppressed dissidents through secret surveillance, illegal monitoring, global hunting, and behind the scenes, transactions will make the label of trans national suppression. is perfectly appropriate for the united states itself was hopeful. but according to the accusations being leveled by us authorities, 2 chinese men were helping to establish se clandestine police station in york city on behalf of beijing aimed a tracking down on harassing chinese dissidence. while adamantly denying the allegations, china stated

u. s. has it in just one year. washington has provided the country and financial loans and funding along with 36000000000 as the carrier. the u. s. inspector general has also spoken about continuing issue. lack of monitoring still remains a problem. servants. ready most of them and who's paying them usa salaries bus in afghanistan, the department of defense was involved, didn't guarantee that we've been paying the salaries of real afghans. don't let her on thursday, calling our president biden's policy towards help. the goals aren't clear a proxy. what are national and economic security demand and alternative oppose all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strato further in depth on this cross, i'm now to international consultant earl letter from us lawmakers flagging their concerns about the level lanes. but are these voices getting louder? in fact, i'm not sure of the. it seemed like a separate a special id or a $230.00 something. so it's starting to get more or turn out there and more.

u. s. has provided $151000000000.00 an aid to afghanistan. 73000000000 of that was for military aid, an almost 40000000000 for both humanitarian and economic aid. but when it comes to ukraine, the u. s. has already spent almost $78000000000.00 in total aid in just one year. washington has provided the country with $4000000000.00 and humanitarian aid, almost $27000000000.00 and financial loans and funding along with $36000000000.00 and security and $47000000000.00 and heavy military support. the u. s. inspector general has also spoken about continuing issues with the aid to afghanistan, saying that after 2 decades the lack of monitoring still remains a problem. the 2nd problem is right now we're paying the salaries of old ukrainian civil servants who. ready most of them and who's paying them us aid and usa is pumping money in giving it to the ukrainians to pay the salaries bus in afghanistan, the department of defense was involved in paying the salaries and over 20 years. it could not come up wi

u. s. does it appear that the u. k. has sort of relinquished its sovereignty of jurisdiction due to decades old extradition treaties with the u. s, and that julian is a victim of that, among other things. well from the beginning for those of us who have followed the case closely. this has been judicial farce. there are all sorts of legal anomalies that should have invalidated this case. a long time ago we can begin with a fact that julian has not committed a crime. he didn't do anything different from what the new york times the guardian dare spiegel. and l p. s. did when they published the iraq war logs. remember, that's what he's being charged with under the espionage at 17 counts. so it's 170 years if he's convicted on all counts on another 5 years for hacking into a government computer, although he didn't hack into a government computer. chelsea manning who leaked the documents did not need to hack into the computer or chelsea manning had done all of the passwords security clearance to get into the computer to, to pass

u. s. has one already germany, an e u in the ukranian war. russia is on thatched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world, china 900000000000. ah, russia 330000000000 and saudi arabia, 200000000000. they have more trade bloss sharp lost than u. s. has trade that theses one failure left germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't any more, have this selfish, realistic approach. and generally to go thinking maybe it is because they used to trust that us is fixing their things. and they are not accustomed to that us is like bacon cleaning europe now out of energy out of money out of power, out of own politics. and that's a big one, a couple of stories from indian now i was i had of in this flagship airline, has insisted that it will continue to conduct flights in russian estimates. despite pressure from western powers. the ceo of erin there have, i live only defended the company's decision as the south asian country maint

u. s. has been termed a transit before she had spread to taiwan. but china has taken the fence and also warned of consequences. should the meeting with mccarthy go ahead woman than to me. we are just for you guys to abide by to one china principal. not to allow sy england to transit in the us and not to arrange meetings between 5 and he, with officials, with me, china very closely followed the developments and defend it. some empty entered into their integrity. how weak or dr. glen pulling to enter. meanwhile, across the street in taipei, this is what taiwanese were saying, hemingway, china will definitely get angry and react, but we're used to this vote, fight down. got it at the air. if i in order, i think the taiwanese aren't bothered by china's reactions. as i was walking earlier, some news about china came out, but i think the taiwanese are pretty used to this regarding size diplomacy efforts . i think they're helpful for tie ones visibility. it's even some wasn't given harm, which is basically i think we shouldn't let too many countries partic

u. s. has been supplying and equipping and training agents military for about 4 decades now. the u. s. provides these days much less in terms of direct economic support to cairo. but the u. s. plays a critical role, of course, in institutions like the international monetary fund and the world bank who provide aid to egypt, that is a lifeline literally to keep president ccs economy from collapsing. so the u. s. has both a very important military and an economic relationship with egypt for many decades . now, president biden's national security strategy for the middle east makes a point of partnering with countries. countries that subscribe to a rules based international order. how does egypt fit that description? well, that's an excellent question. as soon as i read the washington post report last night, i actually went back and looked again at the national security strategy that the binding ministration issues last fall. and i was reminded that in fact, when it comes to the middle east, north africa, the biden white house, the stated that its, its 1st principle, its 1st priority in t

u. s. has a long history of electing. i'm going to use this word because in many cases it's the truth, puppets, puppets, in latin america, and places like peru, in fact, peru has been one of the places where it's a given that the guy or the gal elected is going to be, let's just say beholden the washington casteel it appears was not now is that the reason that he was removed? or is it because he was legitimately corrupt? yes. left. these can be just as corrupt. righties can be corrupt as anyone else. right. so he's accused of taking money from contractors, kind of a paid to play scheme that is as old as the hills, but still corrupt. so are the charges real or, or is this may be just another case of the right with the help of the cia taking out another politician that they don't like has, has been part of a historic of latin america. good question. the answer may surprise you. the prosecutors who presented the charges against them are actually considered credible. yeah, the charge is also seem believable. and here's may be

u. s. has, has strategic concerns about the fleet that is based. there are a lot of by stuff living doll, dad, you know, put a little bit of yeah, me a put the cats in the building. so i called for the a g mail to the daddy middle school. i mean, they no put battle d a all anybody basie facility city, did you all key in the garden? put a instead. with this for 43, [000:00:00;00] with mass confusion tonight in age of the world was expecting president obama to go. but after a speech to the nation, he still there. government forces in back reign have once again resorted to a brutal crack down to quote, a popular uprising in the kingdom with a little jot that able to go to school to go on to live with their son. what's happening into new jer, the president been alley, has stepped down. mm. exemption types of class. it phrases camping out in the sense of clay hyundai, the demonstrators who played away from teddy as glad where they gather from. we see them on foster phones on to for his revenue, shift opposition on the sun. see she has the queue it if th

u. s. has one already germany and e u in the ukranian war, russia is, aren't botched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world, and china, 900000000005 ah russia, 330000000000 and saudi arabia, 200000000000. they have more trade bloss sharp lost than u. s. has trade that theses one failure left germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't any more have this selfish, realistic approach. and jeff political thinking that maybe it is because they used to trust that us is fixing their things. and they are not accustomed to that us is like baker cleaning europe now out of energy out of money out of power, out of own politics. and that's a big bed of india's flagship airline, has insisted that it will come to you to conduct flies in russian estimate despite pressure from western powers. the seo of the air india have adamantly defended the company's decision. as the south asian countries maintains strong incoming fires with russ

u. s. has withdrawn almost a 100 people from sudan, most of which were diplomatic staff, while the ease says they've evacuated a 1000 nationals. that's as locals look for their own escape routes. we spoke with raphael bullying who was recently evacuated from sue damn to spain, and told us about the situation on the ground. i was informed that i had to go to the residence author spanish ambassador. i managed, i end up going to the italian ambassador, and from there we organized like a convoy of 6 vehicles. so we managed to reach that efforts. and then there were military planes there waiting for people to have equates. there were actually when i was there when saturday night, there were planes for from 4 nationalities, spain, italy, germany and france. if equating the national us or national from other countries as well, i was on holiday intended to be in here. and i stood on for 7 days, and it was my last on my 6th day, when everything started, i was in a plane. the plane was about to depart. i

u. s. has been spying not only on adversary's, but also on strategic allies. also ahead on the program this hour. if there is another search of these hidden sanctions that were experienced last spring, it could lead to famine in an rti exclusive but chairman of the russian union of brain exportation reveals the official hurdles. the west is using the block trade in the home function, brain and fertilizers market with prayers and russian no longer allowed in the latest crack done at the clear, picturesque lover on the screen. you hear of authorities deal the orthodox church and followers another blow. this easter week, following weeks of attacks on monks unbelievers with good morning from moscow with 30 minutes of news on views coming your way to help you with us today with friends like these who needs enemies. the recent u. s. military classified documents leak has on least a pandora's box or cross diplomatic cables, including the revelation that washington has reportedly been spying on some of

u. s. has even experienced on choose day. his expected to serena himself at the district attorney's office before being arraigned at the criminal court with the charges will be read to him. authorities a bracing for protests. as always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. and if one is court participating in any act of violence, they would be arrested and held accountable, no matter who you are. but while tramp was the focus of attention in new york city, president joe biden was visiting a factory in minnesota. he has consistently refused to comment on the charges against trump. monday was no exception. or never more optimistic about the future of our country. just remember, just in, remember who we are with the united states of america. there is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. champ is bound to continue with his 2024 presidential bid come what may, in this case is even seen a surge and his support among republicans, but opinion in the country remains deeply divided with more americans

the united states has a u. s. a i d, the u. s. agency for international development, which in the 1980s was used to send weapons to the contract on so called humanitarian aid flights that was reported by the new york times. and since then, usa id has given it so called development funding to exclusively right wing opposition organizations against the government. so for, for nicaragua, it's a no brainer. china, through it's built in rhode initiative, which nicaragua has now part of is building infrastructure in many countries in the global south, including a public housing units for poor people. and nicaragua and china are building an inter oceanic canal to challenge the monopoly of the panama canal. and that's going to bring a huge rise in economic growth to china and more international commer. so that's why it makes perfect sense for nicaragua to work with china. and then of course, their governments are both led by socialist parties. so there are ideological similarities. but i mean, the idea that nicaragua is going to give up

u. s. has extended to turns policy, right? but for the turns to work, it's not just about showing your capability is you will need to demonstrate your will to retaliate. and does this do that? not really. i mean, the, the subs would be better off in an unknown location. remember, a submarine is a delivery vehicle mostly for 2nd strike. that is, if you know there is an attack submarines are supposed to be hidden and they would follow up. the u. s. can quite frankly send missiles to north korea from mainland america. this is not an issue, actually, it's strategically very bad move because you know, the north koreans can park there under water, drones outside the harbors. and just kind of follow these nuclear subs around thereafter. also exposing them in a port where they're not going to be able to be retrofitted or they could be re supplied. but they, they spent about 2 thirds of their time at sea. one 3rd in a facility, wherever they do repairs. it is purely for show, but definitely i don't think the pentagon is going to be ver

u. s. dollar, which the u. s. uses to dominate other countries, just site nicaragua. this is happening around the world. the u. s. right now has about one 3rd of the world's population under sanctions. and given that and again, all that is the u. s. is able to do through dollar dub dub and it's through so called dollar diplomacy, which goes back to world president william our tap. and so countries that nicaragua had no choice but to seek trading partners outside the u. s. sphere of influence. but of course, when they do that, when the u. s. forces and to do it, then the u. s. blames them for doing it. again, this is class, it is exactly what happened during the country war where of course, nicaragua was forced to turn to the soviet union for help. and then the u. s. blame them for turning to the soviet of this is your thought about that situation. as you have thoughts about this, nicaragua and china, signing a series of strategic agreements, trade programs and so on. how much of a concern is this to, to the us? and is this going to help nicaragua anyway? think legally speaking, in terms of the economics, of course it makes tot

u. s. has an interest in seeing ukraine succeed, but as general hodges says, they don't want to necessarily give them all the kit that they need because they're worried about escalation. and it's not just the foreign policy ramifications about defeat of russia and china's role. it's also about an election that's coming up next year. and president biden wants to be is, is careful and is not, is careful to be risk averse. and also i'm highly incremental rather than i'm committing everything all at once. and what are the stakes there in the united states? if we see a change of administration and say, former president donald trump return to power, do you think i'd expect to much different? well, that's a whole different as the program maybe next week. but i do think for the most part, mainstream republicans, if there are any left, and that many of the mainstream democrats, because of bo sides of the aisle. there are wings of each party that wants to hold back in terms of support for ukraine. but fo

u. s. has one set of rules for others. another set of rules for themselves are more to come with chris hedges . don't go anywhere, chris. coming up next. the united states keeps extradition numbers under wraps. the mystery around. just how many people the u. s. government brings from abroad and forces to stand. trial are unknown. we'll discuss it when we return that type. the ammo will be right back. i hungry has been a member of the european union and nato since 999 during the 1st post soviet wave of nato's eastwood expansion number. because if the may naga, thank is my property that i see like that by now crunch. it's easy so me of so we did show zappa luma edge the what the show room. yeah. the motion i will beach but i see a boshoway a mug, which is suddenly in the early ninety's hungry was a country with a worst view of russia due to historical disagreements left over from the soviet union. and why, why didn't someone like yours, but i don't know what i see if somebody hasn't come here to political more than otherwise

u. s. has done such a great job mirroring him in every possible way, including it, with allegations about russia, stuff that's not in the indictment bio, by the way, all the stuff in the indictment dates back to 2010 era. but i, you know, i wish, i think these people like to say, oh, he's not a publisher. he's not a journalist, but you know, again, creating that kind of litmus dust. he, he's, he is a publisher. he is a journalist, as a blocker, technically could be prosecuted under the espionage act. any joe schmo who shares a new newspaper article with someone else that happens to can in classified is technically in violation of this law. you know, i think they are trying to authorize him and paint him as not a real journalist and a renegade. and oh, he was playing footsie with the russians. and oh, stuff happened in sweden and, and everything that has to do with his person and not his profession. and it's really slimy. i think people are sophisticated enough to know better the ones who are do

u. s. has one already germany and e u in the ukranian war, russia is aren't thatched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world, china, 900000000000. ah, russia 330000000000 and saudi arabia, 200000000000, they have more trade bloss surplus then us has trade that piece. it's 13 year left. germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't anymore. have this selfish, realistic approach and general political thinking that maybe it is because they used to trust that u. s. is fixing their things and they are not accustomed to that us is like vacant cleaning europe now out of energy out of money out of power out of own politics. and that's a fee on us give you a couple of stories now from india, the head of india's flagship airline has insisted that it will continue to conduct flights in russian ass base, despite pressure from western powers. the ceo of air india has adequately defended the company's decision as a south asian country maintain strong economic ties with russia. if that's the way the winds are

u. s. president. donald trump has begun with jury selection. e jean carol ledges trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1998 from says he's never even met count. it's just one of many cases and investigations. trump is facing a japanese stuff, says it's luna landa has like the crash landed on the moon firm i space was hoping to pull off the 1st commercial mood landing. but at last contact with the spacecraft during its final descent, the only american russian and chinese state t. v. state space programs have successfully landed on the boat. in our u. s. office. singapore has executed a man for conspiring to smuggle a kilogram of cannabis despite please from his family for clemency to god who just so pyre was sentenced to death by hanging in 2018. the un human rights office for singapore had also word so far. he's to reconsider his sentence. march to the u. s . justice department says the firm, british american tobacco will pay more than $629000000.00 for legally selling tobacco to north korea and violating un sanctions. the

u. s. has been spying on various heads of state for a long times, especially in the european capitals has already called various scandals. that's known by some of the material distributed on line appears to have been altered, but the pentagon is racing to find the source of the leaks. experts say it's unlikely that outside is able to steal the data and suspect that it might have been an inside job. i spoke to a correspondent, carina, she more in washington and asked her to tell us how bad the look for us intelligence. this definitely doesn't look good at all. ok, michelle, we have to remember that this is the most significant leak of classified to us documents. in years, we're talking here about highly classified pentagon documents that provide information, not only about the weakness in a ukraine's air defense and ammunition reserve. but it also provides a rear window into how the u. s. spies on allies, including south korea, israel and ukraine. ukraine has changed on some of its military plan

u. s. has a long history of using them to accomplish american foreign policy goals. to be fair, we had helped to create the problem. we're now fighting and now once again, we're seeing history repeat itself in syria, america, supporting moderate rebels by this time to bleed the country dry of its oil. it's no wonder america's war. hawks are upset, that damascus is making friends in the arab world. syrian political analysts to lead abraham says the u. s. policy of supporting radical groups is creating a catastrophe for the middle east. i think that there, then i just basically didn't to change this kind of rhetoric and it is approach to the syrian crisis. indeed, of the criminal behind what happened in syria that to the rest of the tourist who are and have really back by the united states and out back by that by c i a, this is a part of that. i'm going to get policies of the middle east, how we will make it a conciliation with terrorists, with agreement as with the really criminal as under i sai

u. s. has previously sanctioned officials for similar violations, the persecution of religious minorities for example. oh, by the way it's that was china, not at the cranium body. my bad, we've seen the west regularly form at the mouth of our gay rights gender riots. well, what about religious rights? does not mean anything any more or only when it comes to ukraine, but it's all falling on the west staff ears as no one is making a big deal out of priests been thrown out. addicted, rated and persecuted in ukraine, since they are suspected of having a positive you of russia. i guess they don't deserve human rights. gazoomba and the president. i tell you mister president and all of your gang, our tears won't fall on the ground. they will fall on your head today. you think that by coming to power on our backs on our will, you can treat us like that. god will not forgive you and your family for this deed . because today in these holy moments, 220 brothers are thrown by you on to the street. woe to y

u. s. has been spying on board, russia and ukraine, military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. us officials say russia or poor russian supporters are likely behind the leak to ease offer as the founder and executive director of the national security institute, and a former white house associate to george w bush. i asked him how damaging it these leaks are. well, obviously we don't know the details of all the documents have been leaked thus far . but what we've seen to date is, is fairly damaging. we see a lot of details about what the u. s. is doing to collect intelligence, the kind of reporting that we had, and in particular of the results of that reporting, demonstrating views on the ukraine war views on the russians capabilities, as well as views on the ukraine military. and do we have an idea about how authentic these documents are, even as you point out there, so damaging can be verified, the intensity of them? well, we know at least some of the documents that have been posted
