u. k, u s. the australian. what is it a u, a u k u s alliance, which, which also can be seen very much as an anti chinese grouping. certainly the chinese see it that way. and so i would say that since the bomb administration, the sense the confrontation has deepened and that, and it was a little blurry while during the above administration. but it's now quite sharply defined. are getting, getting more sharply defined. right. and what about donald when it is when it comes to the issue of the after we were mentioning russia moments ago, and specifically the war and ukraine? because what we found recently was that vietnam did not vote when it comes to you. and general assembly resolutions, vietnam did not vote with the west condemning russia's invasion of ukraine. so what do you think of that? i mean, there must be growing pressure on vietnam from the west, and particularly from the united states. aside with them on the ukrainian issue, are you surprised that vietnam is playing a balancing act here? no, i wouldn't be surprised b

u. s. and u. s. combined forces. they've renamed at various different ways, but really, a u. s. general is in charge of the military and south korea. south korea is really an occupied country, occupied by the u. s. it's a pawn, it's a proxy. there's 15 u. s. military bases. there's the largest overseas u. s. military base in the world at camp humphrey. so really widen as reminding president young, who makes the decisions and how the decisions on nuclear weapons will happen. and it also means that the united states will continue to threaten the dpr k with nuclear weapons. that's a rap on the, our thanks for tuning in and out next mobil. idols, the latest being ukrainian president the lensky and their role, and driving regime change wars and political instability coming up on modus operandi. nicholas. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is often very dramatic. a development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very difficult. i'm time to sit down and t

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 i, d 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 is now part of is building infrastructure in many countries in the global south, including 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. 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 dog dominance to so called dollar diplomacy, which goes back to world president william our tap. and so countries act, 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 scholastic, this 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, is to, to the us? a

the most common method of terminating a pregnancy in the u. s. u s. vice president kamala harris was quick to condemn the ruling out of texas for interfering with the food and drug administration. work a with here to tell us more about these rulings is d, w reporter alex whitman. so alex urban 2 rulings. and what exactly do both of the mean for access to this drug? well aaron, the texas ruling says that after a week that the grace period that the judge gave the federal government to appeal this decision. but after this week, the da would basically have to repeal rollback its approval of this drug, initially, which was given over 20 years ago and pull it from shelves. but in washington state, a judge said that the f b, i would have to protect people access to this drug, for at least over a dozen states that were all signed on together in their, in the lawsuit there. so in a very short term, people can still access it, but after a week we'll have to say, well, of course, abortions when the most contentious issues in the united states. and we've alrea

u. s. the u. s. has asked them to back up u. s. in it's containment policy of china. the u. s. s. military bases surrounding china. it wants other partners basically to subsidize and support and give greater international legitimacy. and so unfortunately, cameras playing, playing that dependent role without a genuinely independent analysis of the situation has very little to do really with stroke defense. rather, it's one of the most riskiest ventures that australian governments have taken in recent times because any sort of war with china would be disastrous for australia. there's no comparison between the capacities of these countries destroys a very small country, and it's putting itself in a great deal of danger, by adding to the escalation of tensions against china. as the weather gets better, russian troops will push forward. that's the message. the white house national security council spokesperson john kirby has for ukraine. let's talk of kids. spring counter offensive, gross hushed as april comes to a close. now, meanwhile, ukrainian, a general sort of game merely has

u. s. allies. i mean, i think usa lives pretty much know the u. s. is always checking what u. s. allies are telling us that the u. s. has global responsibilities. i don't think that's a surprise. there may be some damage all, so i'm in showing the degree to which the u. s. can penetrate hard targets such as iran, such as russia, where they make active attempts to protect their information and their discussions and the u. s. can still find out what they're discussing, what they're intending to, to the considering the wealth of information and the timeline here. i can we expect molex to surface over time. that's very hard to say. i mean, i think each, each day i'm learning a little bit more, you know, some more information is coming out. some things came out today, i suppose about iran that weren't there yesterday. so i've been, you know, each, each day there seems to be more, it's hard to say whether we're at the end or closer to the beginning. we're, quite frankly, i just don't know intriguing story. kenneth, catherine, director of research at this one group. thank you. thank y

in the u. s. u s. vice president kamala harris was quick to condemn the ruling out of texas for interfering with the food and drug administration's work. this is what makes with me here to tell us more about these rulings is w reporter alex. so alex, there have been to conflict ruling so far. what does this mean for access to the drug? well, aaron, it means a couple of different things that are contradicting each other and for, for the people who might need access to this drug. that's very confusing. that's going to be a very challenging time for them. we can't forget that millions of women in america have used this drug since it was approved 20 over 20 years ago. and it's the most common way to have an abortion in the united states with medication abortion. so we have in washington state, on one hand, a federal judge saying that the sta can't change anything to restrict access access or reduce access to if a person. on the other hand, this ruling from texas, which has been hailed by anti abortion g

u. s. has mentioned herself that because of the sense that the u. s. kitchen, posing the dollar of loses value. right? so if they go with this route of an imposing sanctions or further sanctions, rather on countries that are align, quote unquote, with russia or they are do business with russia and other countries that the u. s. might not amicable and not favorable. they pose the sanctions. it's going to continue to erode the power that the u. s. r has in international business relations. right. we've already seen countries like russia, like china, like brazil, like argentina, like the brakes move forward with the possibility of having a common currency for business, or rather an alternate if currency to the dollar for business. so if sanctions are the answer to the west get to this visit, then we can also see that that can also further weaken their position in the world . now, it also depends on the actions on countries like china, or in this case, russia, specifically on what they do in latin america. right. and it wasn't ruled out and quickly, the

u. s. the u. s. government and u. s. courts, but, and the iranian, since they have had assets are frozen in the united states and in europe it's, that's always been a problem. iran doesn't hold us assets. so in immediate future, there really isn't much that can be done. but the world is changing rapidly in the americans are withdrawing from the region and who knows what sort of opportunities will be around in the coming months and years. but i think at least for the moment it is a political response to the united states. it's sort of the global south speaking back to power. and the iranians are saying that remind or reminding the world that the united states created isis from famously admitted during his presidential campaign. and he knew that because michael flynn was his military and intelligence advisor and we had other officials admitted and in the media and books come out. so this is basically a reminder that the iranians have been suffering at the hands of the united states . and this is just one chapter, let's m

u. s. and when the u. s. put in their bid, we have $79.00 different stadiums across the country that we said could be ready for a world class event. within 3 weeks. they had one stadium in the entire country to do this and the course had to build another 9 stadiums from scratch and, and again, when, when you're doing that sort of the spending on things that don't have a long run value for you, like stadium stadiums are not a good long run investment. again, there's just no way that you're doing this for any sort of plausible economic reason. and the economics of hosting things like fif on the olympics are so bad. then why do politicians play such significance on hosting and fight to have the right to host? well, so there's a couple different reasons, right? so 1st of all, just because it's a disaster or can be a disaster for a city of the whole or a countries a whole doesn't mean that there's not special interest within the city who could benefit from that. so for example, no, no better time to be a hotel owne

u. s. army and its allies invaded iraq. april 9th, 2003. the u. s. army and coalition forces entered baghdad and tore down the statue of saddam hussein in fear door square. lay the 1st 2003 u. s. president george bush declared victory in the iraq war december, the 30th 2006. saddam hussein was executed december the 15th 2011. a ceremony was held in baghdad to mark the end of the u. s. military mission, in reality, the u. s. army is still in iraq. but he still here she is. see him was near the nist, a squire omar omar was saying a student from iraq came to russia in 2015. he studying at kasan university. his dream is to become a surgeon on new.

u. k. has the coolest near or u. k. air base. the u. s. rejected the extradition imbalance between the u. s. and the rest of the warranty on the assange extradition trial is post of the chris hedges report on the real news network. that would be of julian assange. it would appear that his attorney's now data from the d o. j shows that they haven't a sovereignty of jurisdiction due to decades old extra closely. this has been judicial. julian is not committed a crime. he didn't do anything different to the espionage act. 17 count. so it's 117 who leaked the documents did not need to hack into a computer or a term that set up cameras and recording devices throughout the ecuador and embassy in london. and turned over all of that tape to the cia vis a rating attorney client privilege. we have the fact that julian is not a us citizen. so there's that question of how he can even be charged under the espionage act. wiki weeks is not a u. s. based publication. so i've sat in on the trials and then during coven was getting up at 5 in the morning and getting links to follow the trials of the video st

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 pa

welcome, and we begin this monday with a stark message coming from the u. s. u. s. media are saying that ukraine has been forced to change its military plans after a trove of u. s. intelligence document trove was leaked online. the highly classified documents include strategic information on the war against russia. and they may have compromised a planned counter offensive by ukraine, but keith has been trying to play down the league, saying its military tactics were always subject to change. top secret us government documents that were definitely not meant to see the light of day detailing ukrainian ornaments, weapons deliveries, russian maneuvers and spying on allies. among the revelations, ukraine's air defense is allegedly in danger of running out of ammunition. in a few weeks, ukraine's troop losses are set to be high, but not as high as rushes. they also hints at native plants to support the ukrainian military in an upcoming spring offensive. i think the russians already knew all this, this. this is information that's come to live for us, but none of this wil

u. s. e u strongly condemned the incidents secretary of state anthony, blinking said the initial intelligence reports point to the opposition being behind the attack on the americans. i can confirm that yesterday we had an american diplomat, a convoy that was fired on all of our people are safe and unharmed. but this action was reckless. it was irresponsible and of course unsafe a few hours ago that you and bass that are in sudan was assaulted in his own residency. this constitutes a gross violation of the vienna convention security of diplomatic premises. and staff is the primary responsibility of sudanese authorities and an obligation under international law. we heard the thoughts of specialist on african the 1st gerald horn on this. he believes the ongoing, coo and sudan may of a western banker will obviously washington's diplomats either or not advising the secretary of state properly. or there are some sort of hidden agenda, which is often prevalent in the us state department whereby us ba

u. s. intelligence of u. s. over u. s. spying disconcertingly be described as surprising. it is not very often that you have the chance to actually look into these classified documents. but from our political standpoint, from a government standpoint, i wouldn't necessarily describe the most surprising. i would rather describe the most very problematic for us authorities. not only do they consider that this, these documents have a potential risk to national security, but they're also looking into reducing the damage caused by these documents. when it comes to some of their key alliances. you already mentioned some of those country country. so you can certainly see that the u. s. administration is trying to work hard in crisis mode if you will, to try and reduce the damaged cause by these documents. but from a general perspective, you can certainly describe these documents. these leaks as being surprising. and it is a sensitive type of washington as a rallies, allies around the world in the face of increased russian aggression and chinese pastoring. and when moscow and beijin

u. s. insider is that a u. s. i u. s. insider and up for instance, ray mcgovern, pharmacy analyst who knows one or 2 sings about the beltway in the how intel works . he said, look, this looks a little bit like viet nam, when the pentagon used to put up the absolute inflated figures, then it was see the reality was completely different. but it could also be a mix of there, an element of miss direction in it. this or not another ca shores. but why is that? why, why in the 1st place, why leak it in the 1st place? ok. let's say lamb culprit number one. tony blinking himself a few days ago actually telegraphed that the famous counter offensive is going to start in a few days, mid april and next week. probably. so this, if this is i'm, is direction the russian missile defense, really, alberta so okay what, what are the exactly trying to say? so they're going to be slightly puzzled about that. i'm not sure they will be puzzled till probably laughing about it, right? so i don't see any, i'm assuming this was constructed to misd

u. s. power structure that has speaking. yeah, i mean of course you can get like a u. s. and, you know, obviously challenge size a u. s. u s. knows where china's red light, you know, china, they say publicly no one can do whatever they want, as long as they don't do not keep clear on it. but now us lawmakers are making a statement like time one is in country we should respect time one which is going back on their own commitment to one side to policy that was signed by president nation back in 1972 years a lie we form the foundation on the final american relationship ever since. so you are just walking back on that because they know we're trying to spread my red line. and just like what they do is rochelle 1st keep on pushing rushes red line on pushing. they don't use words. they are now trying to push china red line. i want you to understand for china with high, just as ukraine issues or emotional issue or rushes from the chinese high one issue is a highly emotional charge issue. this comes out of japan that moves closer than ever before to become in d fax. so remember, the us led me to elias canada. one of the members
