Coming to you from moscow. This is our to international with the latest and world news today. Im fear, elizabeth, welcome to the program. And we start with breaking news from the russian capital, where theres been another attempt to drill and strike a building in the Moscow City International Business Center that was just attacked 2 days ago was hit again. The Russian DefenseMinistry Says it was a ukrainian terrorist attack to ukrainian u, a v squared destroys in the air by air defense over the temperature of didnt solver and not reform means can districts of the most go region. Another drawing was suppressed by Electronic Warfare and having lost control crashed on the territory of a non residential complex in moscow city. 3 drones on this occasion, dispatch towards moscow to shut down by actual air defense, a blown out of the sky if you like. One, the one that caused the damage to the building behind me was brought down by Electronic Warfare means. So its a secretive system that interferes with the navigation and the ability of these things to fly and brought it down onto this commercial center, damaging the building lightly. The same building had been damaged in the last 48 hours by another, a wave of attacks. Thats important to note and for the viewers to know that all of these attacks had been forwarded by a russian air defenses. And those are a defenses. The more attacks come, the more they hone their skills, inability to plug the old in the system. So that is a slight positive if you like, but for the people on the ground who have to experience that the loud bangs and booms of air defense systems. And also the deb read that comes down in these a civilian areas. It can be quite a harrowing experience and we can actually listen to some of those experiences know your voice message to my voice message on, i guess for the site. And it turns out that another 2 are in the same building which hit some days ago. And it is also in the news of the ministry of defense to some, there was another ukrainian story so that you can see the hole in the building. This guy moved to new york. To be honest, we did not see the drone. We only saw the flames when we came around the building. Those dell sound when we drum flew in, it was loud. The hot spray. We will have to cross these bridge to see what happened the day before yesterday. As soon as we approach, we also the work is way yesterdays cross how to codes and they told us right before we heard an explosion, we immediately ran there and found fragments. So as you can see, that does have an impact that as well as this is the aim of the key, every game to have a, a psychological in fact, what is it . These are pin prick attacks. They have no military or strategic value. And they dont to change anything on the battlefield. And as i say, you would want to question why these very expensive machines are being dispatched the most good to be, show their design. I think its important that the viewers understand the context in which these attacks occur. As ukraines long voltage counter offensive failing, huge amount of western military equipment being worked and destroyed by russia, Russia Holding the line in the done bus. So things start going according to plan, so theres a need to deflect. Theres a need to try to influence russian public opinion, of course. And this has taken a brutal in odeon, murderous form a and, and various attacks here in russia, flooded into task. He killed in and targeted assassination st. Petersburg at dougherty. A do gonna killed in a car bombing, which was apparently meant to try get her her father, but actually killed her. So again, these very cynical attacks a burgeoning and growing on the west seems to be very adamant that it will turn a blind item. You can actually have and. Busy some of those tax the the geez tax on moscow act isolated, this is part of a psychological attempt from to you to deflect from whats actually happening on the, the bottled grounds. That huge mind power losses. Uh, you know, a tiring nato, a tiring International Community with the key of constant demands for more weaponry, more, more game changers. So i think we can expect probably to see more of these concrete types of attacks, which i have to say making my way here. This morning, actually hearing the noise of the air defense this morning myself and most of the people are most going to people are russia, are getting on with their business. Theyre open their feet moving. We have a very busy construction aside here. The men and women working in moscow uh, continuing to work, they will continue to work in these attacks. We remain what they are, a desperate p r, a 10 point to the of the, to scramble for some kind of relevance with the population here in russia. Lets discuss this further with independent journalists, sonya vanden and the welcome sonya. Nice to see you. So, as mentioned, this isnt unfortunately the 1st time, but what do you make of todays drone attack in moscow . Which hip, the moscow city business center, just around 48 hours after a similar attack as well. As you said, it was again in most count and the city center. And i think its an act of desperation because what we all know is that you crane is losing on a bit to suit. We dont hear anything in western media anymore about a better deal. Actually. The headlines today is way. Oh wow. And theres another drama tech on those call. And also the lensky is, uh, yeah, ranking on that now and rushes, well see you how it is to be at war. This is what people say in western media west or media floating this again, of course. So hes desperate to because that theres nothing new about the better to they dont say anything at all. And yeah, this is an act of terrorism in my opinion. And this is what we saw in the engines and syria before i was kind of strong, where the us side is drones all the way from do you ever need to kill people . So i mean, its possible to do it from a long range. Thats that, thats what we know. So yeah its, theres definitely ukrainians. Who do is maybe incorporation with nature. Oh this, we dont know, but its an act of terrorism, discuss the people in russia to show how we can do it is this is, this is what i think what this which is what hes doing. And i think we will see more of this guy. Maybe in most go maybe to regions of water in your grim. So theres o x of service. Well, the Russian Foreign ministry agrees was you, they branded this as an act of terrorism. Now, as you mentioned, this is getting more frequent and use of Mainstream Media isnt really talking about it, but do think were going to see anything from any sort of leadership, whether its from nato or the us say anything about this . No, its not. The only thing is what they are saying. Of course we condemn any a tech on cecilias book, you know, actually what they say. Weve got so many words. Its not that our business is ukraine. They are as low as russia. So this is uh, yeah, maybe yellow, which is not a lot of course. I mean uh, there is also not somehow and yeah into you and you dont. They were speaking about an old dime because i knew in the near future jerome attacks was gone and you are to walter or robots agent. And theres nothing there to wretched price on housing agreement or you know, how you may have to use this type of new warfare. So no, they will not say anything. They would just say no. Okay, we cannot help it. We can them any attacks on civilians. Thats the only thing they are saying. So this is the one to us to, to worst i have certainly in distance. Yeah. Usually with the leaders of the western countries who are actually themselves, i know youre doing the proxy war on russia. Hi, how you grade. So this is what theyre doing. Well, you called us an act of desperation. So what is the actual military gain of attacking civilian infrastructure . Because again, this isnt the 1st time, but this doesnt really gain them anything on the battlefield. What do you think is behind this . Its an actual destruction of the real situation. All the best deal is what i said in the headlines. You will not find anything above what is really happening on the battlefield. Of course, you cannot write anything on everything. What was happening all the best deals, but theres no information whatsoever. A lot of any western use outlet its, its a distraction, its like a pianist on what you great is doing to distract from the real problem. And the real problem is, even though they have a lot of material from the west to, to things. And so theyre not we name or theyre maybe, yeah they, theyre not winning, they dont have enough manpower. This is also what we know. So its a destruction from the real situation. Well, opinions very as to how aggressive rushes should be in response, since it isnt the 1st time. What do you think rushes response could be at this point . Well, maybe you know more attacks and ukraine, not because this is something russia is not doing. I know that ukraine is doing. That is what to be. So yesterday uh, when they attacked again inside the city. So they are already doing terrorism for 9 years. So restaurants and ill doing that to the maybe the can you know, uh, hit some military infrastructure um, maybe electricity plans, Something Like that. This is i think what worked at nice to of course im not with you know, i dont know exactly what they will do, but i guess this is what the retaliation might be. Independent thats journalist song event that im the thank you sonya for your time. Thank you, have a nice day, right . And down to the latest updates on the ground in the ukrainian conflict, 3 people have been killed in at least 15 are injured according to local authorities in the latest ukrainian attack on this out the road you have region that hit a market on monday to this comes i made another attack earlier and central done yet. Square residential buildings came under fire by ukrainian shelly, resulting in the death of one civilian with 11 others injured. The video on your screen shows cars on fire and debris scattered across the city streets. In the aftermath of the attack, meanwhile, the ukrainian president claims that more a needs to be provided for kids war effort, saying the support from its western patrons is not enough. Is there enough help if the war was over . That would be enough. As long as there is a war, nothing can be enough. This suggests that something is missing. Ukrainian president s want to ski is speaking out and claiming the west is still not doing enough. Despite the record amount of legal aid, it has pledged its yeah, the latest package from the by the administration is worth 400000000. 00. And it cops as the majority of democrats in the us senate voted against the measure, the created an Inspector Generals Office to oversee how the a free crane is actually being sped. The white house had previously voice is off, is ition to the measure. Republican, to support it, noted the oversight is desperately needed. As the u. S. Keeps sending a record amount of a to ukraine. Its not unreasonable to demand that alone expect our elected officials to treat our tax dollars with respect to this view, weve spent over 100000000. 00 in ukraine, and its outrages that share with brian and would oppose even a simple audit of how this money has been spent, the American People deserve to have every dollar accounted for. And this amendment would have training in our long running efforts to ensure fast and transparent oversight of all aspects of your support to your grand as well senators, like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have favored Inspector General oversight when it comes to us spending in afghanistan or even bank fail out, they were in favor of the latest proposals for oversight and ukraine. That includes an amendment from republicans under ram paul, which would give this special Inspector General for afghanistan, the authority to oversee the spending of the aid for ukraine. A little over a year ago, i propose the amendment to the massive 40000000000. 00 ukraine spending package that wouldve been trusted, a proven effective Inspector General to oversee and track how funds are spent in ukraine. My amendment was rejected in today over a 113000000000. 00 and tax payer dollars has been sent to ukraine without proper oversight. My ukraine aide oversight act would extend c gars Oversight Authority to include a to crane and provide tax payers with an accurate accounting of how their money is spent, as well as to detect and prevent waste and fraud. While the criminal investigation conducted by the office of the afghanistan Inspector General resulted in 160 convictions, their reports also gave insight into the ramping amount of corruption. That was a current as a result of the billions of dollars and funding and weapons that were flooding the country with no oversight over the past 2 decades. The problem of sustainability has resulted in billions of dollars of waste for the Us Government at 2021 cigarette report from the United States has been nail is 7800000000. 00 on Capital Assets and have gotten his time including buildings, transmission lines and sub stations, roads, and bridges, Motor Vehicles in craft of the total nearly said to one percent, 2400000000 dollars was spent on assets that were not being used as intended, remain unused or had been abundant or destroyed. Those concerns still remain as the u. S. Department of defense has never passed to an audit. And the latest is that reveal the video de camp account for more than half of its 3. 00 trillion dollars worth of asset. Even the us senators who are voted in favor of sending more a to ukraine, have admitted that there are serious issues when it comes to tracking how it is that way. The American People have sent over 100000000000 dollars to help our for engine ukraine. And most members of this body have supported it, but the money didnt fall from heaven. It came out of peoples pocket. How can we possibly look the American People in the yeah, and say that we dont want to assure them, in short to them that this money will not be sold yet. Despite those concerns, the Us Government appears to be nowhere near the pastor oversight that it needs. Again, the historic amount of 8 it has passed for ukraine is such a short time. As the debates continue in washington, we heard from former Us Marine Corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who says that american tax fair money wasnt spent the way it was intended, but rather went into the pockets of corrupt politicians. Think its clear by the people who voted against the audit that they are very concerned about what the results of and not it would be, you know, were now approaching what we call the silly season of american president ial politics. And the last thing the democrats want is for rub up republicans to be able to get some sort of political ammunition by pointing out that a significant percentage of the 150000000000. 00 worth of american tax payer funds that have been sent to date to ukraine cannot be accounted for that uh that that nobody knows what happened to this money. Where did it go for worse to find out that the money didnt go as it was intended to go to support the Ukrainian Military efforts, the rather into the pockets of corrupt ukrainian politicians. This is a reality. They just dont want to be um, you know, made public. And so the best way to keep this secret is to avoid any sort of you know, audit that would expose, you know, these uncomfortable truths. The best way to prevent it is to treat the ukrainian ukraine government as a criminal enterprise by all parties, and to put the screws on them, so to speak, to, to lock down the borders to, you know, to, to whole, to account people who failed to adhere to the rule of law of attempts, of course not whats happening. The west is given. The ukraine, Carte Blanche or blank check to do whatever they want to do. Molly and burkina faso have warned against any for an intervention into the affairs of neighboring the share influenced by their own anti french twos. Over the last 2 years. We warn that any military intervention against any share would amount to a declaration of war against molly and burkina faso. Any military intervention would cause molly and burkina faso to withdraw from the Economic Community of west african states. The issuance of 51000000. 00 worth of bonds from the west African National bank for new year has been suspended by the regions central bank. And its saying sions imposed on the country and the threat of a potential intervention from the eco last block, which has given the countries to leaders a week to reinstate the president is surely had the difficulty fund while in new year people were being murdered, while abundance terrace came to take people out of their homes to have them killed. Vehicle was said nothing. It is when the syrians wake up to save their homeland that the vehicle was once to impose sanctions. Thats the listing. So itd be though, because the sanctions aint and not to rise to people rather than those in power. The objective force to bring people to an uprising against the authorities or current clean power. The d. C. C, it is a day car. Do they have being dropped situations . There are crises, much more serious than the sanctions, and the people have to live according to the situation. And now we will be able to adapt. What sort of this organization should be ashamed of itself, and maybe the latest opposing of an african state leader is one of several over the past 3 years with popular movements pushing french influence out of this Central African republic, n molly as well around a 1000 french troops that exit and molly for needs are now find themselves in limbo. The French Foreign minister has refuted the claims from local military forces suggesting france is planning a military intervention of the problem. The problem started from the existence of turing bases, particularly the french in our country because it is in admissible that they are offering military basis in our country. Nursing cured because only dettori a to the so as young people where a guest, 1st of all, the completion of our content and im calling it is what we are able to give our lives for all digging to see it. Because it will be nothing to be free and imprison way freezing upfront. We are the property upfront, that is the least prison that we are open to today. It is no longer possible. Leave the house to get people to accept. That was the man who is what people have to agree to recognize that the country is a sovereign states, dont co exist your district. And so im one of those. I think the french for the military base system, but mostly it with the other smart slot here. So a pick up there and use, lets say that their presence has enough creed, notices and security. And somehow the other hand, they have never reported their own personal diesel within our, our money from our mens. I buy that 100. I initial new jersey, new military leaders have reportedly stopped the exports of uranium in gold to france, which relies on resources from the west african country are to contributor rachel marss and has the details. Where would the 2 leaders in the shaft or possibly get the idea that france had any interest whatsoever and intervening in its former colony . Well, it might have something to do with the statement that was put out by the french president ial palace the day on sunday, that redcoat anyone attacking french nationals, the army diplomats and interests would see france respond immediately and intractable, and by french nationals the most who just mean one guy named mister uranium because the jail is francis top supplier of it, providing 15 percent of its total supply. And the 5th of the European Unions and the mineral is absolutely critical to power. Frances nuclear reactors, you see Francis Energy independence is ironically, very dependent on these. Yeah. Which would explain why french president and even mccaul sounded awfully angry about something happening, a whole class and into way. Anyone attacking french nationals, the army diplomats and rights of way would see france respond immediately and intractable. The, the president of the republic will not tolerate any attack against france and its interest. Yeah, those friends interest with certainly include uranium and now weve been hearing multiple western press reports for the military joint task now in charge has cut off exports of both uranium and gold to france. And that comes as really bad timing for paris, which is become even more reliant on its Nuclear Power plants after cutting itself off from russian gas with the rest of the you to impress the frame present virus whiskey and kind of the same way to College Party guys work themselves into a frenzy and dump things like jump off a roof to impress girls. Journey is already on the verge of the industrialized, because youre expected nomic engine cant run on wind and sun, who knew apparently, not berlin, but at least france had not completely bought into berlins green fantasies and moscow called all the Nuclear Power plants. Although maximum was certainly heading in that directions, so plan b after the russian gas cut off was to power them back up. But now the jet has suspended the exports of the radium that they require with the immediate effect. But hey, no problem, the right, because france has other suppliers like has expand and whos becca stand, except who are she controls the transport of those here. Rushes nuclear giant, most of them. But that doesnt really repairs with much wiggle room. Now that its in prospect with all of these uranium suppliers. Last and all the selfish for an interest though is the will of the citizens of news. Yeah, i have to be allowed to do what we want to point. The president , we need outside years must not impose people up on us to manage us. Thats the end of it. The citizens of these yeah, were against differentiated with phases the american faces imagined. And the tentative basis all those for invasions that are in these. Yeah. We dont need them. The Armed Forces Must not give into any blackmail. New share is resilient. We are resilience. We produce our g, d p is more than enough for us to survive. We call on the armed forces, the Security Forces to resist those attempts to blackmail. So its interesting when it comes to the conflict in ukraine, back home makes it all about the interest of ukrainians. But when unrest breaks out in the shaft, its all about french interest. It wasnt that long ago. A bit of time. Prime minister shows a middle name was, im dressing, france on the world stage and exposing its colonial interests in all their glory with somebody dont kill level or this is a child who works in a gold mine in volcano fos. So its one of the poorest nations in the world from sprints colonial money for the keynote faso, which has gold in return they demanded 50 percent of every single key, not 5, so exports and jump in the call for some of the french treasury, the goal, the this child goes down the tunnel successful, mostly himself in the costs of the french state. So the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to europe. The solution is to free africa from such a europeans who exploits it and allow these people to leave off what they have in the ends. Mccomb might try to dress up and justify his actions and frustrations as defending democracy in asia rather than economic neo colonialism. But the reality is that the emperor really is just standing there in his fancy lackluster boxer shorts, by this point. Reports are emerging that the string of twos in this a how region are hampering the regions fight against your heart is im my colleague. Were associate, discuss the issue with a panel of experts, revealed the Economic Conditions pushing the Power Transition in this the how for on say for i, its like duty on our way as the con, the size, by placing t was going on. I q, you know, we can count its, it does not have some by mistake dot be, you know, the projection would be that the food be sure to give are able to be pause. They are hoping to see if we can count things being on the term. Im not jim j or what youre saying here is really unlike me because you werent here this on the main stream western news network, joshua, i can see a king to get it. And why are all these western partners . Of course, some being form a colonial rule is, but why are they now essentially facing so much resentment towards them in your part of the world that interested in that question from the west inside, with regard to us dispensing support is because the e u, the African Union itself is constrained and so the very 1st funds you would expect from the u. S. Y to college. For a sunday we look at the a portion of the budget, even for some, and the one that takes some security related activities about 80 percent of the budget is actually given a want to be paid by the western countries. Anything they eat. Remember the doctor we, guy, hes got a dog boss, really seems toll kinds and credit fun bought. And so as soon as the navy is born, guardians, you say you need our dryer cartons off on choose your time. I dont think i decide to have his own car agency and face decide to be torn carrions week. I would already say via me as your wisdom come to the u. S. A. N, for on the in the francophone surprise would always be a to mental. So we need to get the read on this car is and ever since we have seen, i would said a domino effect the 1st, the wholesale and with the still having problems which was a, the form of colonial power trying to, to, to stay in the loops on the somehow some way, but obviously more and more, i would say that has been a big a messy patient of, of, of local forces just quickly your thoughts on this, the hill region i know is absolutely enormous, but particularly in these at all. But i do think there is going to be an intervention of possible french intervention or even incursion, to restore that main guy. I just, i this at this stage i hope not to think that we have to keep in mind in whatever were going to go into in the next days. But what ever is a vision came and the support of team phone calls, as shown that they were not up to the task, and the people who has been suffering from all of this. Im, this is a game we need to get out of this and, but i hope the, the, the, the, the all African Brothers a more and more taking responsibility for food. That is how the way they, they need to do with they have that the, the, the capacity to do is to have to do with and this way we can do to support them. And thats are up for now. But for the latest, for
