Thats how locals have branded us funds to transfer 3500000000. 00 of frozen afghan assets to a swiss bank. We heard from the couple central bank, middle i had left, one of the rightful owners of the frozen assets or the afghan people, the decision of the us to transfer one part of that amount to a swiss bank is totally illegal according to international law. And also happy birthday is the cia marks its 75th anniversary. We look at the track record of the agencies flores and contrivances from the cuban missile crisis to the taliban resurgence in afghanistan. A very well can see from the russian capital early this monday morning. My name is peter scott and welcome to the program wherever you join us from. And we start with the latest developments in ukraine where battles continue for the active region. Now its been reported, the 5 thing in the city of coupons is still ongoing with the western parts under russian control. Meanwhile, officials in the den, yes, republic say that the nurse was hit by an artillery strike injury 9 people mid bottles following a ukrainian counter offensive in the region. Archie is not. Garcia has traveled behind the front lines. The city of scott dawson, in the hills on region, uncensored this report. The Russian National guard behind the front lines they wage a different kind of war. Fresh intelligence has come in, a ukrainian nationalist part of a sleeper cell has given himself away. National guard sped that yet the go ahead with that. Oh, i know. Yeah. Was it worth it with her loop revoked with the gym for the move in core. Do was the border varner . Yeah, this one here did the thing with you with the proposal if were doing that sort of good, but only if it, if put all of them up. Okay. Perfect. No room for the road. A little more recording, in almost every case, the excuse is the same. Someone asked them to watch a weapon or a bomb cache for a couple of days. In almost every case, it turns out they lied. Ukraine is waging a massive Terror Campaign in areas it has abandoned or lost. Kiev has opted for car bombings, assassinations, and tara almost entirely aimed at civilians. Those ukrainians who dare side with russia. It can be a death threat, a bullet, a bomb, or a tactical misha. Good dogs, far from the front lines and the little military value was recently targeted by a barrage of ukrainian torch. Good me, selves. 2 was shot down. One wasnt, he said, are you there . Well, so good. I was calling to let her know, but i will let you know. So were pretty pacifying a political dont idea of stella new laws. Latonya are you finding written one of us can last. I didnt usually if thats where the thought in the money for wakefield, but at my link, i do wish to simulate your model. Typically eventually, if i, on the subject of, of visit vienna from nick before me, the steps that are open, youre in the eyes of ukrainian nationalists, the locals, deadly seen, was to accept russian control. They adjusted to a new life key. If that is unforgivable, ah, it may seem surprising the school, rather what was found here to be to misers rushes argument that it had no choice but to act. Schools were being turned into temples for radical nationalism. These are some of the textbooks that have been removed, miss rickland, ukrainian students, for example, here in these textbook, 5th grade, the textbook, we learn that the, my dad revolution was the right and just thing. And this was written by the people who were behind the my dad revolution. They went straight to the kids in another textbook. This is for 11th grade. This we learned that National Socialism or nazis were good. They were heroes of ukraine. Here you have old bach propaganda posters. Ease with nazi collaborators. Yet kids a taught that they were heroes of ukraine, that russia has always been a drag on ukraine and has always abused ukrainians. We learned that amongst okay, which was a hero of ukraine. This is a nazi collaborator behind the deaths of thousands of jews in, in just one instance that has been verified and proved. We also found the number of course, works with essays, written by students. 11th grade, this again, they were made to write essays about step on by better step on but better. Who is people not only collaborated with nazis, it offered them their help. In one instance, lou massa could 60000 to push civilians to make way for pure blooded ukrainian. Thats of course includes indoctrinating the young pumping them full of hate before they know any better. But that is now the past day sodium affiliate that, so well keep it all in an archive. We wont destroy the books, they will be kept. Now, a museum, we will replace them with textbooks that russia has already started to supply. And im sure there will be more supplies in the future. The school somehow kept its heritage the museum here choose history as it was a modified by Political Trends and nationalist dogma, ukrainians and russians, learning and living side by side in peace and harmony for generations. But i will show you something as we come here, a little girl. 3rd, 2nd read went up to our driver and gave him these picture her and the soldier and the rainbow. Life here is going to be very, very different. More, i guess, give haughty from scotts his own region. Nato is revealed its plans to increase his military presence on russias borders. Years ago before the conflicts in ukraine broke out enough despite moscow wanting the lines not to cross. Its red lines with more on how nato renee, on the promised that it would not move one inch to the east is fiorella isabel. Despite russias clearly marked red lines on nato expansion, the west has been blaming russia all this time painting putin as the villain and saying his actions in ukraine were, quote, unprovoked nato is a defense alliance. They said, however, it turns out the blog had planned to expand its presence eastward towards russias borders. Years ago, long before the current conflict began and ukraine, were talking about the biggest overhaul of our military structures. Since 1949, the planning for that started several years ago, but now were implementing it. It seems nails defense chiefs didnt hold back, emphasizing a need to sustain and increase allied support to ukraine, the addition of finland and sweden and highlighting that nato will back ukraine for as long as it takes with one collective priority. Collectively, we must deny russia the possibility to change todays rule based international order. Yet if you look at natos official policy with russia and the promises from western politicians, things read a little different. Nato enlargement is not directed against russia, nato, as a defensive alliance. Every country that joins nato undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. This includes the commitment that nato does not see confrontation and poses no threat to the Russian Federation. We set out to build a Good Relationship with russia. If we maintain a presence in germany, that is a part of nato, there would be no extension of natos jurisdiction for forces of nato, one inch to the east. It appears that the west is peaceful words have it exactly followed their actions as russian president Vladimir Putin pointed out, back in february. Them when we have, he promised that they would not push natos infrastructure eastward even one inch. Every one is well aware of that. They said one thing, and they did another, as we say, in our country, they cheated us. They deceived us and put in isnt the only one. Many western analysts and journalists have long admitted to natos arrogant and toned death policy towards russia over the last quarter of a century. Warning that continued expansion eastward would not end well. It would be extraordinarily difficult to expand nato eastward without that actions being viewed by russia is unfriendly. Even the most modest schemes would bring the alliance to the borders of the old soviet union. And what have these options of expanding eastward actually accomplished for the west. Other than Higher Energy cost and a potential dark winter. Well, it looks like european nations have rapidly angered their own citizens into mass protests against nato and its disastrous economic consequences. Ah. Though all nato nations promised not to cross russias red lines, promise not one inch east, and promised that pose no threat to russia. A detailed paper trail of their actions shows the complete opposite. Their most recent admission vindicates russia, but also shows that the block hasnt been transparent, and that pompous attitude has not done them any favors economically or with their own increasing the outrage populations and moving on. Now the u. S. Is set to transfer parts of afghanistans National Assets to a bank in switzerland. Central bank of afghanistan has condemned the decision. Is illegal. Miss miller had the rightful owners of the frozen assets or the afghan people. We had this money for Foreign Trade payments. The decision of the us to transfer one part of that amount to a swiss bank, establishing an institution there to disperse the money to hand it over to some private organization. Setting their own rules for political purposes is totally illegal according to international law. How can they refuse to transfer that money to our central bank . This is a betrayal of the afghan people, the peoples will and consent was totally ignored. And the Afghan Central Bank was not consulted. We denounced c u. S. Decision. The u. S. Administration says its will not release money directly to an afghan institution, as there is no guarantee that civilians will benefits. As the taliban seized power in afghanistan, the u. S. Froze around 7000000000. 00 of afghan assets. U. S. President ordered to direct 3500000000. 00 to finance payments from more suits by 911. 00 victims. Meanwhile, afghanistan faces a severe humanitarian crisis. On saturday, a hundreds of afghans protested against the u. S. Bond to send parts of afghanistans assets to a swiss bank. Demonstrate is waived banners with slogans blame in the us for the humanitarian crisis in the country. And they called for the immediate on freezing of the assets and the prosecution of soldiers who committed war crimes in the country. America won, the americans have no rights to seize or 9000000000. 00, and they have violated human rights and of canister. It is unfair if they dont give us our money back. We are a poor country and face a terrible situation to, to are very low per capita income. America seized 9000000000. 00 from us and now they see they will transfer a 3500000000. 00 to a swiss bank. Were Southern Country under taliban rule, and our central bank is fully functional. That would amanda, United Nations and other world bodies influence the United States to transfer the money directly to our government. So it can be spent on again, people missed that one. During the last 2 decades, the americans did not serve our nation and they instead betrayed us by bombing our home lately and massacring our people. At a large scale, they killed our children, attacked our wedding parties, and bombed our funeral to sell. Callahan, we appeal to the United Nations to convict american and British Military generals and bring them to justice. Joanna Award Winning journalists and editor martin j believes that the u. S. Is saying that had gemini card by demanding strict refund conditions for the central bank of afghanistan. I think the case of the start of money is just one more element of the initiative that binds, taken ministration, to transfer the funds to switzerland, home. The money in that account, not likely in the short term, that the moneys going to be transferred to the conditions that the reg applies for the money to actually be transferred to africa. Very strict. Indeed, theyre playing the gemini cough and also saying to the afghans a bunch of look, let your central bank distances so politically from you let your central bank agree to a few conditions where they dont. And then well let you have the money, you know, and well trust the central Bank Distributor accordingly to the very desperate corners of the country. This is the way of controlling countries, is a way of getting the taliban to put itself in order. Well this sunday, march 75 years since the creation of the main u. S. Foreign intelligence, the agency, the cia, and while you, as President Joe Biden has previously praise the agency is a bedrock of National Security correspondence. Patricia takes a low back. This is often flawed and controversial track record. Just how old is what supposedly the worlds most powerful intelligence force. It may seem the c, i a should date back to the early years of the u. S. Itself, but in fact, its even younger than the man whos currently president. The agency only appeared after world war 2 and failed at what was most expected of it back in the days to predict the conception of the 1st soviet nuclear weapon. Time to flick through the archives in on the basis of the evidence. Now in our possession, it is estimated that the earliest date by which it is remotely possible that the ussr may have completed its 1st atomic bomb is mid 1950. But the most probable date is believed to be mid 1953. The words of one of the 1st Central Intelligence directors from 1948 silenced by the sound of the soviet unions 1st nuclear bomb test. In 1949, as the agency celebrates his anniversary, veterans will probably speak of their own glory, like former director, my compare did. A few years ago. I was the see, i director, we live, which it, it was the thought like we had entire entire training courses. If it remind you of the glory of the american experiment, the word glory next to lying, cheating and stealing, perhaps that sounds okay. If your head of the cia glory i was stories throughout its history, the cia had multiple failures and has also been shaken by a large number of scandals and disclosures. Surround the operations, it has conducted a significant number of these operations were attempts to topple legitimate governments, heads of states both successful and unsuccessful. Whats more warriors, or rather long list of the agencies, mistakes or cases when it was involved in some of the. Busy worlds nastiest practices, nothing to do with america security going back to failures, sticking to nukes. The next thing that comes to mind is how the c, i initially didnt expect soviet warheads at americas doorstep and cuba. We all know how they got that one terribly wrong. Staying with the 19 sixties and cuba, the failed bay of pigs invasion should rang a few bells. Events that turned out to be a surprise for the agency include the 1973 young key, poor war in the middle east, or the 1979 revolution in iran. The seventys, the late seventys, were high point for the soviet union. The was in terrible state, i think after after the combined setbacks of the being run out of southeast asia, soviet influence in africa and angola with through their cuban plants was growing. And then we moved into 19, we went through the carter period, which was a long period for ca. Beyond that supposed low period, even the breakup of the soviet union, 991. 00, came out of the blue for langley. But most notably the see i couldnt predict and prevent 911. The Intelligence Community struggles throughout the nineties and up to 911, to collect intelligence on and analyze the phenomenon of trust, national terrorism. The combination of an overwhelming number of priorities, flat budgets and outmoded structure and bureaucratic rivalries, resulted in insufficient response to this new challenge. But surprise, surprise, Us Intelligence said they found weapons of mass destruction in iraq. Oops, deliberate or not. That was a mistake to and moving on to the most recent past. Oh, thats painful. What did the c i do about the taliban resurrecting in afghanistan last year. Were back to where we were. 25 years ago. Afghan gorillas have defeated a superpower and made their country and inviting hostile for a new generation of aspiring terrace. And the cia will have very few american spies on the ground to assess that threat. Be it. Oh, sallow. Been logged in with his al qaeda or the taliban and its 2021 resurgence. Its widely seen that washington is still dealing with the consequences of how the c i a flood of ghana stand with weapons in cash in the 1980s, all to try and deal the soviet union a fatal blow. I have a 1000000000. 00 a year ahead. New were from i had 250000. 00, more or less full and part time afghans willing to stand up and fight. But there are many more archive pages to be flicked through the scope of controversies. The agency has been subject of is truly impressive. Ranging from allegations of drug trafficking, when backing the anti communist contrasts in nicaragua, to claims of widespread torture in secret prisons all around the world. A medical, physical american legislation, bands, human torture, but only on u. S. Territory. Subsequently, there is no american law. The forbids using these measures outside of the us. These measures include experiments on people using various medications, hypnosis and other physical impacts. Naturally, these are issues that should not be a part of intelligence agencies, scope of activity. Oh, what a reputation. Sadly, it even makes you want to replace the word intelligence in the name, with a few other words, full super him to see how he has performed functions throughout the past. Decades that show it is not purely an intelligence agency, but an instrument of the u. S. Aggressively imposing its policy and neglecting International Norms and laws, this policy is hedge, a monic, and aggressive towards other countries. Well, happy birthday. See i the Biden Administration has recently pointed to the importance of controlling the Digital Assets sector was saying, the u. S. Government should identify current gaps in crypto currency regulation of british crypto experts. Chris ems claims us is trying to control crypto currency and seeking to monopolize bitcoin. Oh, chris ems is on the f. B. Is wanted list, allegedly for organizing a crypto conference in north korea. And helping the country evade us sanctions. It was accused of help in north korea, develop Block Chain Technology to transfer money across borders. He was detained in february, in saudi arabia, but was late released as we are decided not to extradite him to the u. S. Lydia, my colleague, donald courter, got more details from chris ems in our studio. You were detained in saudi arabia, the u. S. F. B, i wants you because you were in north korea and some sort of block chain conference. Give us the stories i was indicted by the by the f. B i back in the end of january this year for violating us sanctions that are only applicable to us. People as you can probably tell from accent on, im not the american british. So that was the long parade of trying to leave saudi arabia where i was at the time where i was detained for a month based on an in support read notice and the f. B, i most wanted listening. I was in jet the time in which President Biden visited saudi arabia. I dont think it went well for him at all. I think that, you know, the, the days are gone in which the us can fully and cajoled countries even like saudi arabia, one of their closest allies. So i think that the guy you see right, that played a very big part in, in my freedom of me being his we can feed today what exactly happened at this conference in north korea. So thing is done absolutely nothing. This is the crazy thing, right . Its, you know, theres really stories of meeting the sanctions dodging mastermind. Its only cost me money. I never made a penny. I think the Russian Federation has a huge opportunity right now to embrace crypt currency to regulate the space for regulation in order to make sure that you know, sort of Money Laundering and a sort of crimes use the crypto but to really use it to engage in trade with well, because essentially thats what crypto its dawn is designed to liberate the world from and to create calmness and free trade. And theres a lot more than just bitcoin, right . Say, you know, we have, we have stable quincy box one to one on any weaker encrypted currency. But that would be like us thought as we both years. And those things are of genuine wet, genuine, the right remittance methods that can be used by anyone. But the great thing is that can be used by anyone, no one can stop them, which is exactly why i believe the u. S. Targeted me in the 1st place with thing we tried to control control crypt currency with thing theyre trying to monopolize specifically bitcoin right. Now, but they, the, the, one of the things that they dont really understand the underlying technology, its encrypt. So we wouldnt say multiplied it, wed say the centralized, right . The centralized community of people, the fed up with this narrative, were seeing these, the sanctions where basically were being told who you can be friends with, who you can invite to come to your house. You know, if, if, if i live in london, i cant get my friends to moscow to fly in and see me. People are fed up with it because we live it we, we live in this multi part of, well, i believe already the internet has changed the world phenomenally and what we would call and crypt a web to. We now moving into web 3, which is just going to enhance that and open up the well to even more possibilities in other news around so protests on saturday, against the actions of the so called Morality Police allegedly resulting in the death of a 22 year old woman, she was detained on tuesday for not complying with his job regulations, and later died of a heart attack. While women took off their had jobs to show the opposition to harsh police penalties for not wearing a headscarf. According to the police must mean you later died in custody, didnt have her fully covered and was detained in accordance with the law protested, blamed police for her death, claiming that she was beaten. Something officials deny local media reported multiple injuries during the rally. Security forces used to gus against the protesters until the Moscow Region now where a huge portrait of wiki leagues co founder Julian Assange has been painted on the wall of an apartment block in the city, abolishing the artist, italian streets barton drawer. Its who previously painted the Worlds Largest portrait of your guardian says he painted the road because assange is a symbol of democratic freedom. Yesterday, journalists still remains in london prison from where washington 6 is extradition over the publication of thousands of classified sensitive documents. Over one decade ago, joy shed the thoughts behind them, your fancy. I think that the basis of any art is in order to tell something of the art for sure. Has also gotten ornamental part. But im personally on the side of those trying to tell something a son is a symbol for freedom of democracy. The western world doesnt like his ideas. So i decided to set him free by means of art. Almost every one i have talked to in moscow knows him, so i thought it would be easier to paint him here. Us are up at 528. 00 a m. Moscow time on monday morning, head over to our website for more on any of those stories. And if not, ill be back again at the top of the hour with another one down of all the latest. Ah, ah ah, oh. Oh oh oh, a ah ah ah ah, ah. Hello and welcome to cross doctor. All things are considered. Im peter a little during the cold war. Washingtons policy on europe was to keep the russians out. The americans in the germans down in many respects, the same policy remains in place today. But the germans, now they have some different ideas. And how is that isolating russia plan going . Ah, discuss these issues and more. Im joined by my guess martin j americas. Hes an Award Winning journalist and commentator, and in budapest we have George Samuel alley. Hes a podcast or at the goggle, which can be found on youtube and locals originally across up rules. In fact, i mean you can jump anytime you want and i would appreciate it. I. Lets start out with a george in budapest im. Its quite interesting to me, georgia because of the situation and in ukraine the hall, german question has arisen again. Okay. And so if i count the decade, this is
