The slide for most go this sunday, march the 10th. Its the week the review of the big news stories for the past 7 days. Hello and welcome. We begin with the ukraine conflict where most go says its troops are advancing on the southern fronts of this up on rose year, reaching the Russian Defense ministry has released frontage of its engineers clearing the ground from ukrainian mines and other munitions the well, some opportunities the enemy mostly use as m 70 minds. These are american mines. They are deployed remotely, approaching them is forbidden just and so on. I mean you to in yeah, such remote mining affects the magnetic field. The therefore, but its such minds are the most difficult to destroy. As you do not know how close you can approach them. And therefore, we have to use some new technologies of our own. And we figure out how to destroy it all that. Well, friends could deployed troops to ukraine, there for Russian Forces advanced towards p of or odessa. That is, according to the french president , speaking behind closed doors with local Party Leaders and part of this week earlier, a manual macro and tried to rally fellow even politicians for a possible military intervention. But there seems to be little appetite for that. In the spring germany, is that the whole do . We have certainly approaching the time and now europe, when we must not be cowards. We never want to see the dramas to come. The fact that war has returned to us soil. The powers that have become on stuff are below, are extending the threat every day attacking us. We have to be meet the challenge of history and match the courage it implies. Who can offer more, who is more coverage, is who is more, whatever it is, not about them who wants to do more. You have to focus on that. This is what ukraine really needs the most. We dont need to really uh, from my perspective, at least discussions about boots on the ground are being more to having more coverage or less coverage. This is something which does not really help solving the issues we have last month. Mr. Microns sent shock waves across the west when he said nato could send troops to ukraine from south, reportedly started training at soldiers for a potential class with a quote of powerful opponents. But the countrys allies are in no rush to do the same with several states. Open leasing, they have no such funds to the french president double done on his goals. Washington reiterated its refusal to, but its on the ground problems by words. And then he certainly has every right inability to, to speak for himself and his views. All i can do is speak for president by the commander in chief and the president has been clear. We have been extraordinarily strong and leading International Efforts to support you crenza last 2 years. Hes also been very clear since the very beginning of this war. Theres not going to be us troops on the Ground Fighting inside ukraine any will. This all comes against the backdrop of an intercept that call released by r t. That reveals on explosive conversation between top german generals. They discuss plans this and long range messiahs to ukraine, to destroy russias probably me, and bridge. Berlin admitted that the call was authentic, but has also tried to shift the blame for the scandal to the from a good us, thats the telephone. I mean, the reason that the phone call could still be recorded in the ranks of the air force is due to an individual application error. Not all participants adhere to the secure dialing procedure as prescribed. According to current knowledge, data was leaked from the participant in singapore. He was connected via and an authorized connection, i. E, virtually via an open connection. This is exactly what putting wants to achieve over the course of several months, or at least several weeks. He sets the agenda for what were discussing here in germany, whether it is support for ukraine in one form or another. How successful ukraine is, whether it can win the war or not at the time and time again. This is an agenda imposed from outside by certain events. I am very angry about this story among other things because we have been dealing with only this topic for 3 days. Like i said, well, on monday, the german and foster was summoned to the Russian Foreign ministry to offer an explanation. He declined to give any comments as he was swarmed by journalists entering the building. What berlin has been scrambling for damage control after the lead cold was released by ortiz editor in chief last week. Just a reminder in about 38 minute conversation, german or for staff, including 2 generals, laid out their plans to send paris cruise missiles to ukraine, to discuss potential targets, including the crime in bridge and said it would take dozens of missiles to bring it done. Verified called, also sold and mulling over how to ensure a plausible deniability for parent in itself. And also this. So i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the bridge. And the east is hard to reach, its a rather small target, but the tourist can do it. The ammunition depos can also be hit. We need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us part of the conflict. Might. Im exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and well drive by call from poland, so that no one notices thats already participation and we wont do that. On monday, do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own . After all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. Linked call proves that germany is preparing military operations against russia, that is the direct conclusion from the Russian Foreign ministry spokesman. Maria is the heart of a slum berlins intentions and also reminded germany that similar moves and as in disaster for the european country during world war 2. And those still will uh, be evelyn uh, and then what was presented to the World Community shows the long time and plans intentional. The need to country gemini, to conduct the military operations against the russian side to ration. It was literally described step by step how terrorist attacks against civilian infrastructure would be carried out. And the speakers were clearly aware of the fact that they were discussing the bombing of we civilian bridge. And they specifically spoke on this topic saying that the bridge is of great political importance. That is the z, she should know, tying in the yeah. And we proceed from the fact the gemini is obliged to give explanations. That should be an open conversation between violin, between geminus specials and that room population, and excuse me, with the entire international community. Because what the whole world has hud, and this audio recording is presented in its original braces and a numerous number of questions for germany in general. Especially for give me the very german officials who are there on this recording to remind each other of the glorious as a belief post of their lives. 12th and what is the scores . Pasto phillips will affect if they talk about previous calling about experience. Its the 2nd world war and it turns out the experience of those he is still alive today, and thats still willing to apply it. But its a different dimensional altogether received board and you should get. Ready a portal show that more germans favor and into that ukraine conflict through a negotiated settlement versus seeing the fighting dry guide thats as active as from the e. U countries free sucks and the party follow suit against the military stuff caught red handed in lovely conversation, accusing them of trying to cardio 10, all aggression. As a revelation spread around the world, berlin has been struggling to contain the full like yours or to contribute, or Rachel Marston with her take. So its real. The German Government tells the western press the half hour long tape of germanys air force chief, plodding with fellow military brass to deliver long range torres missiles to ukraine and blow up the crime in bridge in a way that gives chancellor off schultz plausible deniability is indeed authentic, they got caught wanting to launch themselves down the slippery slope towards direct more with russia, but ended up hitting a snag ripping their pants. And now their butts are hanging out for the entire world. The sea and the opposition. Christian democrats are not keen on tossing. Every one involves a bathrobe for modesty. The report so strange in 2 respects. On the one hand, security related conversations are obviously being overheard by the russians. On the other hand, the chancellor may justify his rejection of taurus deliveries with a misrepresentation. The federal chancellor must explain himself to the bonus tag. In this situation, a committee of inquiry cannot be excluded so much for all that plausible deniability that was being built up in the boonies died recently with all that theatre. Where shaw says government voted down an opposition resolution to specifically give you frame tours missiles only to then introduce their own motion instead that more vaguely specified long range weapons. Without explicitly mentioning the key word, defense minister boris. His story as didnt even know what was in that motion. He said, because well, he didnt write, it may be, it includes torres is or maybe it doesnt. Who knows . Not the German Defense minister. In any case, not that anyone with stopping schultz or pin stores or their government from explicitly outlined the transfer to ukraine of german missiles of exceptional 500 kilometer range, capable of doing what its french or british calendar parts couldnt, that is straight deep inside russian territory apparently, they just couldnt be bothered explicitly writing it in and now german politicians are spelling out why perhaps they showed us the top towns of legion boned to sweat offices with the german cruise me sauce torres and russian territory on the compatible with basic law. No. With International Law, these madness must be stopped immediately. But despaired generals are said to have made an assessment that the crime in bridge could be attacked with the german taurus missiles. The symbolic acts would drag germany deep into the war notes of torres delivery. The league effectively underscore as an unexplained discrepancy between army brass and what theyre saying. On one hand, i much schultz has been saying publicly about not wanting in our school asian with russia over ukraine on the other. Now the chancellor is demanding answers, is just not very clear what exactly hes demanding answers to us. Thats not really what is being reported. There is a very serious matter, and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly that is also necessary. Whats the more upset about the fact that his own military was parting against . What he claims are as explicit wishes not to deploy terraces and even more explicitly contemplating a terrorist act against russia or the fact that everyone now knows about that. The bonus dogs special commissioner to the military, eva whole goal from schultz, his very own social Democrat Party sunset. The week itself is the real outrage and that its the guys in charge of keeping military Communications Secure that need comprehensive training, not the high ranking german officers whose spitballing about blowing stuff up risk getting germany into yet another world war. The events of the last few days once again to how a lot of them are poor doing is trying to have a mess of the negative influence. Are now open society, especially in your money through these information disabled is ation and spanish. Yeah. Maybe after they finish looking into how put in for part of we blew up his own gas supply to germany, then they can tackle the big mystery of how put in, hijacked the minds of German Military officers for a plot to blow up his own bridge. My 1st reaction to that was the total disgust. They were just trying to turn the table around and the argument was, well the, there was the scandal is not the contents. Its not the fact with high ranking offices have total disregard for an international conventions. Have to go through this or even for security regulations, how and where theyre shopped, discuss such things. If they do, i know its uh that the entire narrative. And the whole thing is this, the scandal is the russians are apparent. The recording such conversations this, this from, from that perspective as the scandal and the defense minister historians stated last night that all of these officers will not have any disciplinary measures. They will not be punished. Maybe they will even be upgraded. Uh, thats what i said. And thats there is so that the narrative has changed as no embarrassment. And so far we have not seen any embarrassment when it came from the drum inside or from the partition in all of the scenario, steps of involvement and the views of current can i . So running on that report, now the volatile situation there on this, i thought it was you a Nuclear Power plant was discussed in salt street this week with president clinton hosting International Atomic Energy Agency chief. But i feel good off see, for talks, the russian leader said moscow is doing everything to ensure the safety of the nuclear facility. So glossing for his part, describe the talks as professional on frank. You print interests of shell, the surgery of the power funds you numerous times in the past 2 years as well. Field glossy later spoke expensively to r t and outline what his agency is doing to help keep the site secure machine 1st. Since we established the mid 5 basic principles of the Un Security Council that has been a direct showing on the prompt itself. Ive seen close the case before. So if that happened, now, my reaction would be very different. Because now i have a mandate to look into this to ask questions to try to determine what has happened before. That was not the case because the i use the caps or how that seem pretty new, get safety security, remy to which was more, which was narrower and more simple. Now we have said the i e a is going to be looking into these 6 and to the extent possible to indicate what has happened that have been some minor episodes, dangerous, i would say in terms of perhaps some cro drones, a heating and medical dar which is the village near by the blind model on those we havent been able to gather you know, we are apart from any of these. We are a group of inspectors. And when we pronounce ourselves, it must be on the basis of our own independently gathered information. If i dont have enough, i can have a type offices. I do have like many people have, but i cannot say this has happened or point fingers when i dont tab for the elements in my hands to say, this is clearly the source of the attack. I think here at the end of the day that is clarity on what are the consequences of Something Like this. And these is what i keep saying when we have the information, for example, thats what happened just a few days ago. For those sort of, we would, we have been saying when we have the information intelligence information or any of the information that, that are meaning that the possibilities that there could be the tardy movement. We add, we ring the alarm bell and we say attention, we are watching. Nothing should happen. And we are trying to play a deterrent role in these. We are not perfect maybe, but much better than nothing stable. Im friendly, bounce out. India is Foreign Policy chief, has summed up relations with russia, amid the backdrop of western pressure over the ukraine conflict. Everyone conducts a relationship based on past experiences. If i look at the history of pipes, the independence india, russia has never heard of our interest. Weve always had a stable and very friendly relationship. And our relationship with moscow today is based on this experience. But india is expounding cooperation with russia despite western sanctions against moscow. Use us officials have also been calling for a crust, done on Indian Imports of russian commodities. My colleague Saskia Taylor south, done with the Spokes Person of indias ruling b j. P. Party to discuss how it must go. A new delhi are doing business in defiance of the wes, a t a unless you appreciated his student. I know you dont face all kinds of lives and videos. Right . Yeah, we did for india and media media for russia. The halls stick to the starting from defense starting from investment if i drew bottles a start date from the investment in boy, starting the up into a boy from the ship. The important point in this is for when the Foreign Policy is made a rush she all the way mary, in boston please. E d. I will not be any pressure from our list in board. He does not see any certificates or dictations from the rest of the work regarding its at a time with russia or any other kind of default that might be able to continue to do engage with russia to explore the photos, texas off in eddie ohio, calling off the truly of defense, which has been really for long, but i do specifically want to ask you about a new daddys position. Hes at the the ukraine complex. Youve got president mack chrome saying that were not ruling out sending west and troops to ukraine with harring taps of a job and officials talking about helping ukraine blow up russian infrastructure. New daddy says we want this conflict to be resolved. Do you see resolution coming before escalation at this point in time . Because we just felt the global piece that the resolution of the conflict is a team of people is this is not the for any a nation. Uh, without leaving any space the country to hire people to do the via rather this is the fire to control the fire. So theres a big country which is a, the steve porter, this conflict, a lot of investigating the wall to the device or the metrics. So that both sides of the d, b and b, the dealers. Not us pressure talking about that on officials across the african, ill have sparked afresh, confrontation ins and bob way, officials, theyre a how big spell the controversial us agency from the country after washington sanction the southern nation african nations top. Oh, official. Its not, its not the only diplomatic conflict, the white house is fueling on the continent either love you couldnt get, can tell us more about that. The sanctions a once again, the whip of choice and full say myriads off. You is Foreign Policy goals and some up ways the latest targets back in 2001. The u. S. Fall into an onslaught on how to operate through. Its so cold lose. Would they be jumping on the and shes in bob a bad week and what is own draft essentially is in 2002, many events have taken place since been, but one issue thats amazing phones and bob was relations. Whats the waste is the continued suffering of the countrys population. As a result of wisdom powers refusal to remove those music that have slowed progress, inhibited economy recovery and kindness, the poorest and most vulnerable in societies. Equally astounding is wisdom. Countries failure to come to terms with the reality that the land reform and resettlement program. The main reason for these sections will not be reversed to have thoughts and repeatedly tried to reverse that. To started programs through political tools or confrontation with is in bucklin government. But those gifts, its a proven, futile. It cannot be rights. And its loading a healthy basis for conducting International Relations or building friendship for a country. However, mightily it views itself. To sloan the innocent nationals of other nations, while also maligning those same nations for daring to be independent and silver and, and for reversing a baneful legacy of secular colonialism in line with the United Nations tratta. The sanctions of slowing down our progress inhibiting economic recovery and punishing the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. But unit 2 of the above was a scene for my us president george bush, the i to take to off the sexes and bark obama together with donald trump leave office. Having failed to achieve regime change in this. And bob, we present vital support of the senses, has also been in vain. That says, african countries continue to raleigh behinds. The bump is pushed for the lifting of what many c as in the legal economy . Can bob go back . Small man cannot negotiate with a big man. Europe in countries have been putting sanctions on zimbabwe, which has been suffering for 20 years. Youre gone to itself has suffered from wished to sanctions with the you is attempting to exec political control over the country, accusing it of human rights abuses last year. Washington, would you, you kind of prefer rachel trade status aiming to punish kampala for its n c l g b to q knows that they defy and prison was severely slamming. The move is justified defending the countries the 17th days, 6 to no prussia. It is unfortunate that the world bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into a band and in our face, culture, principles and sovereignty using money. They really under estimate all africans, we do not need pressure from anybody to know how to solve problems in our society. They are our problems. I want to inform everybody starting with your guidance, that uganda will develop with or without loans. Another country you to be target to do the rich, the long stigmatized as a regional spoiler by washington. Its section for supporting taylor bas groups. Despite years of scrutiny by monitoring groups with gilding, little evidence of those claims that it was excluded from the suff payment system. With the you is closing the accounts of it, which meant to put magic missions and a number of states and causing difficulties for the impulse of ex fees and mid us into the country. This unilateral sanction, lets shift the blame to and scape goat scare a trail on the basis of spurious allegations, is in contravention of International Law and constitutes a flagrant breach of the sovereignty, independence and liberation of peoples and nations. That the primary aim of the elicit and immoral sanctions is to inculcate suffering and starvation on the population. So as to induce political unrest and instability is patently clear. Over the past decades with the states have made some inches, they go to diplomatic weapons, the United States and the ropes and union administer hundreds of section programs targeting thousands of individuals, companies, and economy, except as in many countries, but have sanctions achieved the goals. Despite the efforts, the targeted states retain suffering and independent domestic and Foreign Policy is building ties with the global solves and russia. You essentially have also cause the economy collateral damage, sedans, economy being severely impacted even often. Some of those sanctions were lifted, leaving many struggling in new jersey. After that, evidence appears to be clear. Sanctions on the african continent failed to achieve the aims, and by damaging local livelihoods may have had the opposite effect. As those states behind the coast of misses failed to begin the leasing time and time. And lets stay with this story because my colleague, mike ok mark chase spoke with isnt bob way Governments International Communications Director to urge washington to mind its own business of stuff meddling in africa. What do you have any of these things above, which is a suitable americans like 12 inches through a little position by 2 types. They want a saw that the this the gains so far independent. So the washing tony should not, in the, the, in the affairs of the nations and they should respect the bulk of the window. The template, as far as policy formulation is concerned, then the lender form problem is that particular, you know, benchmarking a position, the whole saw, a book, the consent of minds, the people that we go to a land and read, never giving back our legs on yalls policies. No mans idea amount of sanctions they impose on us not meant at the amount of the restrictions they impose in or not. Oh, willing to go see guidance including our president , not zimbabwe holds the title, was the most sanctioned country in africa. Now we understand the government had to ask washington not to impose the assumption that they would undermine the country. How do you expect this functions to affect zimbabwe as a country . So uh, this functions of effect to the education sector, idea of afraid that are out sick to do. I think that theyre all just trends and the, the, the, the did how i can press start so they have, i think that is manufactured. So our lives do sunday including the they did the banking system, but then bob way is not for the good sense of what is in the context of school. This is a, you know, cut us trophies that are created by the rest of the month way is id certainly said come by to mesa as in the form of the mining sector. We have seen that to just been a very resilient and say that just actually been complimenting, you know, and pain insight doesnt feel like youre going on to ensure that, you know, people get to the, as somebodys in time to ensure that the industry is alive. That and all these other things. So yes, minus we have knowledge that the sanctions of the mortgage and heres a bug. I should also flow to the government for these policy visions that do been pro tough throughout the toners in the Sector College to have been defining st. The end. Do you mention your investment for prospects because and bob, which is been focused on not missing alternatives, kept it all be under the big ones and beat on whats the institutions. So some of these issues that have been put across by the government really. Com is vanny in to say comes in take measures to do the sanctions thing done to solve the Design Initiative because i want people to die or spend 1000. And 2, i intend. Ready that is. Ready most people would not be going to school by today, but because it is actually been happening in the context of fuzzy but a ride. It is time for another visit to the moscow news studios catch episode. 4 of our teeth knew no holds barred, show headed by shape bones. Right, a head like the body. Welcome back to the most co mules. Im shaped bows and im joined tonight by my oh, mate, steve sweeney. Steves going to be helping us navigate through some of the stories that the Mainstream Media probably would rather were left alone. Now steel. Were starting in ukraine at the lights of condo, as you can see on a lot of the west end equipment this week. A couple of high, my systems
