[000:00:00;00] the, the does in bob way expels usaid mission that's according to the us state department, apollo's more sanctions, the us post on the countries government official at least 5 people said in gaza city the result of paris. 2 drops of humanitarian aid and move made necessary by the is really blockhead of florida for us. things. also, i had one thing with quite clear with the president finding, i think he's we went to public and lawmakers of slammed. joe biden stated the union address which he kicked off by focusing on ukraine, instead of burning issues on the homefront.

the you are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. zimbabwe and authorities have expelled admission of the us agency for international development from the country . the u. s. department of state confirmed the news washington recently imposed sanctions on the country's government officials. after removing a number of restrictions from an extensive list imposed over the past 2 decades, are to correspond it. and although you can get has more we understand that the united states has sensors and buffers present. gimme some non gaap wash. it's 1st lady, and as a government official, the need is within the government and that side for the later it involves meeting corruption and to schumann. rice uses a non gaap why the president is accused of protecting gold and diamond matters who operate is above which, directing government official to facilitate the sale of golden diamonds in enlisted

markets and taking bribes and exchange for she's um, services among as the offensive. and among other things, and all of that has no need to the presence of the united states to sign and executive board of the 10 minutes of the box was national emergency. and we both as in love with specific sensors. and to right now, we've just got a hold of a statement issued by the united states, stating that the last 2 months as involved with detained and supported officials from the united states of school. we're in the country to conduct an assessment of governance and democratic reforms. that be knighted, stay save. this was unjustified and unacceptable, but also the, please. the office has had his host to respond to these allegations. and this is what they had to say. and bob way takes great exception to gratuitous slander and defamatory remarks by officials of the bite and administration against the sanctions. and bob weigh leadership and it's nationals. what adds to the outrage is

that these bald and damaging accusations are not backed by any type of evidence we condemn. these militia statements has completely uncalled for as defamatory, provocative and as a continuation of wanton hostilities against him, by way, by the us government. the statement states as well that the government's offices and bible has said it wants to pursue international re engagement and democratic reforms that it's a x is undermine those claims. however, according to the united states of what's also very important is that the census the which will block in the u. s. based property and block any i'm official to travel to the united states, to replace a boy dad to dictate all sanctions program against them. but we have what is also very much astounding, is that a, be all of this, the disturbing facts that wisdom countries for all the political brilliance have yet to come to terms with the fact that there will be no reversal of the land reform. and we said to him and program, which is of course the source. also this whole predicament and the source of the

imposition of these senses that we're calling to talking about you. then bye bye. and a sanction movement found over 10 the mountain. the r a says the recent restrictions imposed by washington or an attempt to make an example, adams, and by on the defenses of a foot fund, the president pulled up like least the academic c. c, which started in russia. don't we just put to say face the americans did the look want to look like they are being forced by small little country to remove the sanctions? those sanctions can be challenged in court because the nation and for those $1011.00 individuals, we couch those be individuals, people with forced to try. so i believe that they'll send you the put the american to save face so that they don't look like a single hour. that is be forced to remove it. sanction by a 3rd world, small country where some countries is never used to consume the applicants and speak with flatness,

they never even consider the applicant as human beings. as the united states could impose sanctions on civilians and collectively published yes, the international, you know, and the human rights know that they, the americans and europeans created even before i have to go into spending stage of the collective punishment. people by persecution, of united healthcare education or sanctioning institutions that provide service to human beings was always a crime against humanity. the latest of 5 palestinians were killed during a failed humanitarian. a drop in the north or the enclave footage shows the aid being distributed by error as people flee the scene failing power suits are believed to be behind. the accidents or drums have become widespread in gaza. i meant these really blockade at border crossings block in trucks, which amounted to arrange deliveries. we spoke on the phone to journalists background, also tarry and rossa, who told us more. during the government,

the new user needs assessment surgery that they will not the ones who are and toggle dot com. they are not just one of them for the the, for those and jump stuff to the lead time. there must be something called me or some story behind that and they should also be held accountable for doing that. i think organizing the entry of the place until the conversion. aerospace is much more complicated than just knowing the correct answer from the is that it seems to be continuing what it's doing and the maximum community seems to be very late to hold them accountable for the 3. but i think that's it. most important key pay me to commit them to accept one regular and safe way to deliver the food and the what the like 30 to apply to the people of god. so the international community coming up with different grants and different approaches. and yet they are paid by the is a need to patient that is not this one. they all call border control. any of the initiatives to serve defense,

they're going to have to be temporary and who's suffering is exaggerated by that is that need to jump single thing atlanta i'm talking to people who us as a pentagon denied that civilians were killed by the us or dropping a during a recent briefing, i mean the whole g, a palestinian pediatrician says it's humiliating for both palestinians and the us to israel is refusing to open existing ground the core doors. if you look at the border crossings, you will have hundreds of trucks seen with humanitarian aids awaiting the transmission of the day because the army gets through and people are really dying from hung up and got so with no explanation. and certainly there might've states insights. it's suggesting to drop the humanitarian aid from these guys from the plains,

which is very humiliating. not only for the palestinians, it's very humiliating for the us. the president might then be unable to, to make 2 gifts at a reasonable, so use and simply by asking is there any to up in the bought the crossings and left the many tent in 8th, which has been binding up to the doctors for, for the, for a few months now, it is a shame act sweetie, for the civilized countries to allow such situation. to happen, the israel blogs to mandatory and deliveries via the rafa crossing and bombards the besieged enclave the children's death. it'll has surpassed 12000 with the most vulnerable newborns and especially premature babies. most at risk. many have to share incubators and medic,

stream shortages of equipment and medicines. and does them children of the enclave have also started to die from malnutrition. this mothers frequently giving birth to underweight savings. this we don't want to as if we've noticed that since december there might be these over normal weight. most of them are from $2.00 to $2.00 and a half kilogram. some of those that have stop seeing babies waiting 3 kilograms since october as barriers and only attrition for mothers know meat, eggs, fruit or vegetables that beautiful. and um, so that then the mom lost her son to the mountain nutrition. due to the circumstances were going through in garza, we live in a school inside of 3 meters to right in front of the toilet. that the, what are you expecting for a sick child? living in such conditions, how can he get better and we'll cover that. meanwhile, a new maritime route for a deliveries to palestine has been announced by the european commission in partnership with the us and u, a. e. the new court or willing to add on the site person does that, but has been criticized as an attempt to divert attention from,

as well as consistent blocking of assistance to the starved enclave. you know the difficulties faced at the land borders in ga that'd be a to the roof of border crossing all through the jordan road. how are you doing? and that is why 2 days that we probably go cypress, the european commission, the united arab emirates of the united states, of course, supported by other critical partners, announced our intent to open the maritime carried on to deliver a much needed additional amounts of humanitarian assistance. bye see side for us is the closest e u member state the gaza with ships able to reach palestinian soil from the island in around 10 hours. the pilot operation was launched on friday with the you expecting the court or to be fully open by sunday. the us initiated project intends to build a temporary port in gaza. president biden promised that the plan will not involve

any american boots on the ground. tonight. i'm directv us military to lead and merge the mission to establish a temporary peer in the mediterranean, on the coast of gosh, i can receive large shipments, trying to water medicine, a temporary shelven. no us boots will be on the ground, a temporary peer to enable a massive increase the amount of mandatory assistance getting you guys that every day israel has officially welcome to the western maritime route initiative and it's foreign ministry spokesman says it will boost humanitarian aid deliveries but he added that it will be implemented only after it quotes the security check, according to is rarely standards and the british foreign secretary underlined of that i can take months to fully set up the plan. the court or protocol analyst will lead, say, i'm says, chances are high, the new maritime route, well aggravate the fates of palestinians rather than improve it. and that's uh,

the $1000000.00 question. how can such caught it or avoid what has been happening before? and there are 7 crossings that is it a and have direct control of for 6 of them. if we want to explore the board, which is directly connected with kind of thing as an addictions alone. so it would be more if we'd be more easy and more feasible to make sure that this a breach is causing this. but well, to ask most 6 crossings the the ground and it could be done with, is it a aly supervision? i see it must think of the them if i've listed this done done to improve and enhance, basically publish the image of the americans that europeans can. the is the eighty's as one and it is unlikely to be faxed. it says on the ground, because even if the medicine is established, that's the easy part. the difficult spots would be once the age reaches the soil or the shore, how would the with the distribution be conducted and who is going to be responsible

for that. and there is a palestinian fee is from such a matter of time, according to that it could be used eventually as it out to task. but it's kind of stands into cyprus with, by uh, is it a alia goals? uh, that has been, uh, numerous. it has, it has been because normally the science of uh, getting creative cousins displacing to them for the is a 80. so the substance casa oh, how does the us presidents annual state of the union address on thursday evening several 100 protesters blocked a jo biden's motorcade as it made his way from the white house to congress. demonstrators are demanding hands off, gaza at the foot. it shows that protesters unfurling a massive tullison in flags near the capital, demonstrators line to the street from the white house to the capital building. the

holding signs depicting biden's face and reading genocide at joe and waving banners seemed to face the jo and the fight. and so i could see is genocide. capitol police forces surrounded the peaceful, proud so called for a c star, and an end to the as rarely occupation of casa in the speech itself, president biden was expected to focus on domestic issues like inflation and the border crisis. as well as the war in the middle east, inexpensively kicked off his address with an odd to ukraine again and again, i've seen that the far more i go home

the if we stay with ukraine and provide the, the cruise asking the on

the must be honest the threat to democracy must be defended the by this message has been praised by his allies of former house speaker, nancy pelosi says the speech was a master class. the president joe biden state of the union address was a master class, vigorously presenting his bold vision of progress and possibilities for all of america's families. if you look at it objectively, it seems that you know, the big concern here is joe boyd is cognitive capability. this is always going to

be about, you know, how he said things and how you perform what you're more than what he actually said . it seems that this was deployed, you know, a choreographed attempt to my job. i'm look fresh as sharp as a pin. that he was bouncing through the crowd high fiving people like some and in a fight or a pop star. there was a little bit of cringed with. a more interesting is how the pro joe media feel like reported on this incredible performance. he's almost a teenager. the guy is, you know, fresh as a daisy the presence delivered, and he delivered huge tonight. i mean, the just me energy, the vision. he was fired up, he was shouting, he was angry. and anger sometimes has a way of looking energetic. any really leaned into that, everybody knows if this was a great space, joe biden delivered what has been described in the past so far as, as the price, the fiery heated supreme crunch rep, i'm sorry. so you can see, you know,

you'd be forgiven for thinking that this message was sort of, you know, let's, let's make sure everyone thinks on this is great. joe isn't 81 years old. it doesn't have any problems. remembering things you never confuse the egyptians and he is right. and he's, he knows what date is. he knows what week it is making. you know it's confusing, isn't it? makes it disbelieving what you're actually seeing and thinking yourself is that how do you see this media coverage? is it an attempt to convince people that biden's fits a says yeah, well it seems that and particularly again, as i say in the pro joe media, there's a lot of correlation to the messaging here. we had people like at tucker carlson at watching this following it in great detail the minute by minute in a live sort of recount. and we've also had americans taking to a social media up to the on to twitter to suggest this car is completely out of touch with reality for ordinary americans. there's a lot of problems in the united states. 40000000 people living in poverty, families are struggling to get their bills paid. people are struggling to pay their rent as well. so let's have

a look at tucker carlson is response and you got to say she holds a dozen whole back and gives them both barrels in this and it's quite quite a tool for sponsoring took across if that was possibly the darkest, most american speech ever given by an american president, it wasn't a speech, it was a rant, entirely lacking in decency or generosity to his fellow americans. button quickly explained that actually as top priority has nothing to do with america's top priority is sending billions more to ukraine, not ending the invasion of our own country by drug cartels not are degrading economy. you experience every day that are collapsing schools. there's no explanation of what the goal is here, or there's a lie after like, somebody doesn't care. there's no upside for you in any of the things that he said the 1st day was the republican response to the address being like, well, it's been predictably, almost angry in its response. i mean, the republicans have suggested that white is a completely out of touched mr. trump,

of course, came out and said that this was the angriest, most bad humored state of the union address in history that may be the angriest, least compassionate and worst state of the union speech ever made. was an embarrassment to our country. like so many families across america. my husband, wesley, and i just watch president biden's state of the union address from our living room . and uh, what we saw was the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than i've been alive. one thing was quite clear though, president biden chess doesn't get it. he's out of touch quite cycling. this a smiling lady delivering the rebuttal of speech on usual. but what was the takeaway nicky from a bite and speech is just as if the only good thing about the speech really was, i mean, he did mention you in ukraine and the speech 1st. the 1st thing he mentioned the speak with you kind of course,

which is also telling about the volume administration of priorities when it comes to the united states. if you find comes 1st, if the only thing boy had to do is not fall off a stage, not forget somebody's name, not make a catastrophic mistake as he's doing and many, many other forms of this. and pretty important american speech. if that was the only thing that it was, the real success here is that he didn't make a complete fool myself. and many ways at that says a lot about the state of us politics of us talk so host and commentators, staples guard, told ortiz, you know, neil, that joe biden didn't look or sound presidential during his keynote speech. first of all, he started the speech about 18 minutes late, but he also did something else at the beginning. he jumped the gun, usually the speaker of the house who sits behind him. during this speech with the vice president, the speaker of the house the announce is officially ladies and gentlemen, the president the united states, and they applaud again and then he starts his speech. there was no announcement

because the president didn't wait for him to be announced. yeah, ukraine was the, the opening at topic it is an election. your leaders tend to talk tough at doing that on the ukraine war. i suppose he's good territory for that. what do you think americans were listening in on that stephen? just thinking of who is the only minute? is this the state of the union address in care of or in washington? i was shocked that he started basically with ukraine, with everything that's going on in the country. when you look at poll after poll after poll of what topics, what issues are most important to voters in all the states that have bought it in the primaries? you had it, right. it's immigration, it's inflation, it's the economy. and it starts with, with ukraine. it was definitely a campaign speech without a doubt, he was combative and, and you know,

when he finally got to immigration, 40 minutes into the speech, 40 minutes, the number one issue in america right now, any way to 40 minutes to get to with the guts of 6 months out or so from the election. no. will this speech willis have help to his re election at shawn says or by dent of, of donald trump at not being mentioned by the incumbent leader? can he just sit back and watch his numbers rise even even more? know the reference dim 13 times or more from what i gather, but he never mentioned in by name. look, the media is already saying, wow, funny. this shows he, his age is not an issue. he has the stamina, it was funny. did you tell he was combative it could do it. wow. that's like, you know what? it's march the beginning of march. we got to go to november. a lot of stuff is going to happen to donald trump, to joe biden. to this country to the world,

and i don't think when push comes to shove, this is going to make that much of a difference. you officials are raising the alarm over a new crisis. hitting europe. as you are pull reports, finding, quote, torture chambers organized by drug gangs. criminal groups are largely recruiting minors into their elicit trade authorities say the situation threatens european society and the blocks economy. we even did found torture rooms in the you know, this is what we have never seen these before. this is was, this was used in the let in america, but not in that you. we also see, and we under estimated to infect the impact of and the usage of corruption by criminal organizations and all the attempts to infiltration of criminal groups in

the legal society. and the big issue we are confronted with at the moment is that we see that criminal groups are recruiting young people, young people to make them an active member of the criminal group. they are pan officials have also emphasized that the you now faces unimpressive and levels of violence. authorities underline the necessity of strengthening borders within the european union, especially port cities, some official suggested intensifying cooperation with latin american countries in the fight against drug trafficking. that's as an enormous amount of narcotics are arriving in the you from south america. all right, let's discuss this now with co director from the midwest or marks institute for marxist theory and the political analysis. no, a cubic uh no good to have you on with us. how would you assess the situation with drugs and the rising crime rate in europe to thanks for having me. so i think it's

typical. i think that it's mirroring very closely what we see in the us where we've had, you know, an odor demik for years upon years. and we keep seeing these different reactive policies. you know, they see crime going up, they see drug use going up, etc. and the answer always seems to be, you know, more cops on the street, more border security, etc. it goes up any way they don't seem to ever ask the question, where does this problem arise from in the 1st place? and why do our countries in particular, seem uniquely weak to or, or, or soft on in this particular area? some latin american countries, namely colombia and ecuador, are reported to have suggested that you leaders look to tighten the screws on their own borders before searching for solutions in latin america. how do you think those

comments will be received in the you and i, honestly, i things are going to be shrugged off. but this seems like very typical real apology rhetoric here. uh, and it seems like do you is going to try to sort of ship the blame or onto oh, it comes from here. it comes from there. and even the point that i believe it was a pedro in columbia mentioned to brussels in amsterdam. i have the highest per capita cookies on the entire planet. so they're saying look in your own back your 1st before you look elsewhere. and for me, and i don't want to go back to what i was just saying do too much, but this is just so typical of the rhetoric of these politicians, right? especially as it gets worse here. just in general, any time major problems show up, they always always seek to ship the blame anywhere but to where it belongs. and you

can compare this obvious step to doing it to country like china presents, you noticed that they were also getting an increase in drug abuse rates and then immediately created an entire department. they handle it. and then the next year had a decrease over 24 percent because of that policy. the 2 ways of handling it are just night and day. so it says more about the use interior policy flaws rather than latin america being the issue. so i think it's a little both. i mean, we can't really negate the fact that most of the manufacturing is done in latin america in columbia, specifically which mr. pedro has to know is a huge ex border of cocaine, which is precisely what he was talking about. so i think there's no point on all sides really and they're going to call it kind of go back and forth. even with some

very interesting agreements they have in place, not columbia specifically, but other latin american countries. they're going to go back and forth with the blame game. that's just how the writer goes. yeah. what, why do you think your up is looking to influence the situation in latin america? when that, when the situation at home is, is as dire as the claim. it's a good question, right? so i think that overall there's always some sort of distraction as conditions get worst. you really can't under state the effect of a giant corporate medium machine like the u. s. a. and getting people to think about anything else other than the problems caused by the proxy war. uh, the continual sort of deterioration of living standards, which is huge, especially after the destruction of nord stream. and the problem is getting energy . that's

a huge factor to consider. and there's also international trade rate where uh, which countries are interested in joining the brakes alliance, which are sort of a stalwart against it. that kind of thing right regularly. but they're now cubic co director from the midwestern marks institute for marxist theory and protocol analysis. no, thank you. thank you. it's all right, that's what i do for me for now, but to stay with us. my colleagues, peter scott, will be in next in about half an hour with a look at your headlines by the the we are in contract,

the land of fire breathing volcanoes. volcanoes vividly capture the imagination and
