[000:00:00;00] the damage will be inevitable, must go warns of repercussions as the you, most of it using almost all of the interest russian assets of occurred and european things keep funding, kids in the ukraine, regional counseling ukraine on this. i didn't miss next. the veteran to me is the west attempts to white spots. the scandalous image of western leaders upholding the same yes of home care in the canadian parliament last year. and conflicting statements of the investments us because the protection of palestinian civilians must be
9:01 pm
a priority. they continue to support isabel's ongoing cost. the let's just bought it for him in the morning to the russian capital buddies be just gotten. here's how the world is looking us. there's the caps. no one ever ship has worn to the e. u would be shooting itself in the folds if it uses frozen russian assets to fund ukraine's war. if it's the foreign policy chief use, a browser is looking to spend 90 percent of the revenue and on those funds on age. and i'm of a key of, i'll suggest, as the move will cause decades of legal legal bottles to show this is an out of a statement in line with the movement towards the destruction of the illegal foundations of europe in an international law. the europeans are well aware of the damage such a decision can bring both to their economy and to their reputation as reliable guarantors of the involve ability of property. the damage will be inevitable. the persons who will be involved in making such decisions, the countries that will decide this,
9:02 pm
they will become the objects of prosecution for many decades. so well, it's basically the easy or resorting to successfully sinking to new lows. so found its front of the ukraine, as we know is the credit is really running dangerously low and munitions. the help that it's expected from the us in terms of money and weapons, is stalling, as they can come to an agreement. they're so eager officials said, hey, what can we do vote, let's use the money that we froze from the russians. and this is exactly what they're doing. the proposal right now is to use the profit acquired from those assets and uh, from the war. and you can now let's talk a little bit about these, this is what i was talking about. we have about $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank that was frozen by the west. the majority of that money is held by a company who real clear in belgium, and they have made done their math. and apparently, all this money, this profit could yield them about 15000000000 up to 20000000000 euros after tags
9:03 pm
until 2027. so this is the money that they can use to fund the award decline to buy weapons and all of that, this is what they're proposing right now. so, joseph burrell decided to propose this to e member states i sent to the country to a proposal commercial decision, a proposal for commercial decision to locate the bulk of these revenue to the, to be in union financial capacity. and this proposal is just about to locate 90 percent of these revenue to be beast facility on the tops will defy billions, not them substitution off, but adding to these $5000000000.00 revenues generated by disclosing assets. you know that to increase the military support to ukraine. so it's official, there he is there and he propose that we are getting reports right now that apparently the european commission has approve that plan even though there were supposed to discuss this and vote on this at the
9:04 pm
e u leaders summit taking place on thursday and friday, but we are now getting reports of the european commission has approve that most of the moods like inside the u of at this proposal. but originally the idea was yes to use these assets to use this profit to help with build new crane for reconstruction . so if you mandatory an aide, and some of the member states were agreeing with this there, where they went along with it. but they didn't like the idea of it being used in any militarily, sort of ways. and it was, or sort of underlying that european commission impressively, that this really is ideal. hey, listen, only use this, was you mandatory and purposes. let's actually use it where we need it most to buy those weapons that you claim badly since they are not able to do it themselves. let's have the russian money do it to for them. and a lot of people and nobody appreciating all these new ideas that are still of underlined sheep. simon, recently, there was a growing discontent against fonder. lion for improvising said an
9:05 pm
e u diplomat. diplomat said, fonder, lion's approach is particularly disadvantageous for smaller member states that have more to gain from collective decision making. now we have all these countries that are not agreeing in terms of these assets being used to help buy weapons. but joseph morrell, for example, says, well, this is a brilliant idea of why, because it's not, they're not using the easy bunch of this money would go to a special fund that is called the european needs facility, which is a joke in itself to have the word piece in there and this fund runs off budget, so it doesn't have to abide by the same legal standards or even be approved by the european parliament. but also this is really bad in terms of what it does for countries that want to, for example, hold their money in western reserve, is because this shows them, hey, if one day in the future you happens to disagree with the west. they can always seize your assets, use the profit he's in the european central bank before set that season. ross and
9:06 pm
assets will undermine confidence in the your current c, n e u markets. but apparently now joseph or else as well they're, they're back in the plan because it's only the prophets that we're using, but the message and the idea that they're sending through the world is exactly the same. this is again, another message we're hearing from experts. be careful when you're doing things like that. the sure of the global currents, you can actually go further and use its financial power to actively influence international developments. but the spyware must be used wisely. because when, when icing currents may stimulate dimensions of alternatives, and unless i forget that russian courts can always with tally aids, because that's a company that holds the majority of the frozen russian assets, the euro clear in belgium. well, actually, right here in moscow, they have the national securities that add up to 33000000000 euros. so russell could retaliate and then sees their assets. so we'll see how it ends up. and we're
9:07 pm
still waiting to see whether it was actually finally officially approved, or whether this will be discussed and put up to vote at the summit. on thursday and friday, russian service men have gained access to us abrams tank after it was destroyed in ukraine. initial strike by russian scouts and mobilize the vehicle before 2nd, destroyed it. they were unable to reach the thanking states and retrieve equipments from it's russian. soldiers can be seen guessing inside and inspecting the vehicle up close. in this video footage, we spoke to the service men who took part in the operation. the tell it was very hard to see, but some movement was visible, so i spotted it and decided to destroy it. the 1st had landed in the track compartment of the 2nd tier met it's market after which the tank caught fire and then the next drones which were sent by other guys finish it. it offers after that the crew left the tank. when the weather got better,
9:08 pm
our super cam conrad's and other aerial scouts were able to distinguish whether it was a leopard or an abrams, to make sure it was the praised american machine. at 1st, i didn't even expect it to be an american story. i thought it was just any old tank, but it was an american tank. i felt sensational, seeing that the americans burned brighter and hotter than any other tanks. known if there's nothing special about this tank, despite how the west and ukraine praise it. having sat in it, i can say that it is worse than our t ninety's our tanks, but it's not surprising that it is praise like this and it was shut down by our colleagues using s p v. drones. the tank drove out into the open. they wanted to push us and our infantry back, but they failed. the crew tried to run away, but stayed close. they didn't make it far. the outside is riddled with shrapnel from their own mortar shells. it looks like tried to burn it themselves. we were the 1st ones to jump in to see it to film,
9:09 pm
and i felt that the region in ukraine has decided to own or the not see veteran ya stuff hung cut with the middle. that's kind of did a ropes last year when the canadian prime minister applauded bunker in parliament his how the tributes was justified. the yellow slab home alicia division vet to and is to be decorated for a significant personal contribution to providing assistance to ukrainian armed forces in charitable and public activities. so it's not exactly clear what contribution 0 slab hung come made to the armed forces of ukraine beyond. of course this service and hitler's lawson s ask alicia division of ukrainian nazis who spent world war 2, killing jews and our russian allies fighting against hitler along with us in the west at the time. he's 99 years old now and yeah, you freight is getting short on troops, but i still don't think they're calling up the 99 year old ex pats from canada, yet to serve as cannon fodder. so about the only quote public activity that home gosh,
9:10 pm
is actually known for these days is sitting in canadian parliament while visiting ukrainian prime minister of libraries, whiskey and all of canada's elected representatives cheered as the house speaker introduced them as a guide who fought russians totally ignoring the historical contacts that russians back then were allies of the west against hitler. we have here in the chamber today ukrainian canadians, ukrainian canadian world veteran from the 2nd world war from fort ukrainian independence against the russians. the guest su, pre regional council, is doing russian propaganda now ripping off this band aid on through those political career and putting hunger back into the spotlight with an award and the name of euro slide stetsco, whose name as an added bonus,
9:11 pm
figures and some online the holocaust studies courses as someone known for getting the nazis who seal of approval for their extermination methods used on jews. former house speaker spoke goes and explained that all. so hugo was his constituent and lived in his district. and he said last year that he had invited hancock to parliament. what actually happened road that clarified was that the canadian ukrainian congress lobby put forward honk his name, and the parliamentary protocol office had the whole list. that is by true those office with a fine tooth comb. before that invitation was sent out. not surprising that the russian embassy had a bit of fun with that fact. he was prime minister justin to domain bought to desktops criminal to the parliament last year. as recommended by the current in canada and community, that's 5 months later still in that silent, don't you of whom cause nancy post. no condemnation equals justification to ensure though characterized as new fiasco,
9:12 pm
which was revealed alongside another new little bit of information that hunker had also been invited to a private end. by all need swap a in toronto with trios lewinski and about a 1000 other of their closest friends. now the email, the invite for that came from to those office and that was linked to the canadian press also back in february. at which point the official opposition wants to know. why true though, didn't come clean about all of this when he had a chance. months ago. now we know that he personally invited that same individual and he said that the former speaker had to resign or were doing the exact same thing. so will he hold himself to the very same standard method he's not fit for off the leader of the off position is choosing to me against the ukrainian canadian congress. straight to this conservative party no longer stands with ukraine, used to not stand. we do not stand with ukrainians,
9:13 pm
not with you and you all team zalinski is talking about how they're ready to join you like right now because the clean up in ukraine is going faster than expected. maybe that has something to do with crude in citing the notification as one of the 2 goals that process military operation. in any case, it looks like they may have missed a spot over there at the turnip, all region. a lot of drama for a country that's already really high maintenance in cost to a lot of my is the west and well to kind of high drama that usually reads to a break up long before marriage. we spoke to the finish journalist base and don't boss just put kind of new says of the west. silence on the matter is telling the waste of course the issue here on the firing line because we don't here to going
9:14 pm
them nation. we're here. silence or official support for nazis goes to the years or full of minorities. and adults can be victims of a possible make nationalism. and that's why great is blaming which fire may be even kind of a black man in the waste of leaders. that even if you don't continue to support us, we will raise the these issues and that we'll go. so how in the western countries where the integrated, the immigration population will react strongly, they are losing their home wrong. use these support for the gradient. nazis we'll come. why is it known in the western western countries, adding the red population protecting civilians must be a priority. the salt washington, a sudden urging israel to delay any military offensive on the city of ruffled to ensure the safety of palestinians. but at the same time,
9:15 pm
us is continuing the flow of weapons to it's all we acknowledge from the very beginning that israel has a fundamental right to be able to defend itself. and, and so we're going to continue to support them as a, as they try to do that and ensure that they have what they need to defend our people. but we also recognize the importance of ensuring that people remain safe and gauze and a 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. or we've been clear about the need to prioritize the protection of civilians. so that, that should be a key part of any military, any plan, any, any type of operational planning to for, to account for and protect those civilians that are in the battle space. and again, we've yet to see such a plan, but we'll have an opportunity to engage the leadership here on that. so it's almost as it does have a plan. no one saw it yet. but anyway,
9:16 pm
it seems that these roles and vision into rough on is the matter when not if, despite growing global disapproval, the biggest concern was and remains the estimated 1500000 palestinians currently sheltering in the area. more than half of gas as population. and many slots, the worlds have been born and against invading such a densely populated region. but if one is smitten, yeah, hold these really prime minister takes into consideration any opinion from abroad. that would be american america is send and conflicting messages from one hand. it says daunting page rafa and his monday phone conversation, for example, with newton yahoo bite. and according to his administration, said, the sold will be at least take the us national security advisor olsa points, and it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths and deep and humanitarian crisis in the in place. and yeah, who doesn't ignore this criticism? a high ranking is rarely delegation is off to the us. so present,
9:17 pm
and he's really plan off evacuation of gases before the operation and to call the american leadership as well separately is really defense minister also travels to the us next week to meet his american counterpart and clearly russell will be on the agenda. but at the same time, we just heard the us secretary of defense reiterating washington, his commitment to our israel, no matter what, even before they. so n, he's rarely plan all for relocation. guys is 1500000 palestinians from ross for before the on slots. so why would israel care at all that decision has been made and there are no real obstacles to each of the heck. we have an argument with the americans about the need to enter off on the go, not about the need to eliminate some off the need to enter rafa. we see no way to eliminate from us militarily, without destroying these remaining battalions. out of respect for the us president,
9:18 pm
we agreed on the way in which they could present their ideas to us, especially on the humanitarian side, which we have coal share in this desire to allow an orderly exit of the population and provide aid to the civilian population but i made it clear to the president in our conversation in the clearest way that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in rafa. and there is no way to do it, other than the ground invasion, latonia who is so confident infect america is divided over washington. the support of h ro, city or figure is in the, by the administration. and all of us officials say israel is breaking the law in gaza with the help of america and using american weapons, making washington accomplice on the pressure from congress. president joe biden introduce a new policy last month requiring all countries that receive american military supports to abide by us and international law provided to continue his backend of
9:19 pm
israel, secretaries of state and decides must endorse these roles, assurances, sons, before within the next 5 days on tuesday, the us and basset to israel privately told the state department of israel fulfills as obligations and that's part furious reaction across the american political establishment with officials calling the ambassadors assessment homeless, comical, unobserved, unclear, actually, what decision will eventually be made. but in the meantime, 2 human rights organizations submitted to ad documents to the us government's claiming these rarely assurances are not credible. they accused these rebels violated international humanitarian law and urge the america to stop arman as well . and it joins memorandum base summarized as rarely violations, such as striking hospitals and ambulances, or preventing humanitarian aid, including us, funded from crossing into the gas a streets. we urge secretaries blinking and austin to consider the likely
9:20 pm
violations below when determining the credibility of these really governments assurances in response to n s. m. 20 ox fam, and human rights watch. believe a suspension of arms transfers to israel is necessary so long as there is an overriding risk that they are being used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and us law and policy. while president joe biden and others supporting arms deliveries for israel, se washington sends weapons to help israel defend itself and protect its citizens. in fact, americans suppose israel with all kinds of weapons and in much bigger miles than it is needed for self defense. in 5 months of the war, washington improved and delivering more than $100.00 separate for and military sales to israel, including thousands of precision guided munitions and bonds. previously,
9:21 pm
only 2 approved contracts were made. pub likes h more than a $100000000.00 worth. and it turned out the figure is much higher to versus $100.00. and that shows just how extensively washington is involved in the 5 month long conflict and gaza. it has so much criticism about, but only in wards even on now the us assistant secretary of states was heckled while speaking. it's a congressional hearing on last month's pocket on the general election. the official listed once he claimed irregularities in the voting process. we condemned the electoral violence, the restrictions on human rights, fundamental freedoms. we condemned to tax on media workers restrictions on the access to the internet and telecom services. and we expressed concern about allegations of interference in the electoral process. talk a song as an important partner of the us. we share a commitment to strike the impact sense democratic institutions. we respect the principle that talk a son, talks i,
9:22 pm
people should be the only ones choosing their own leaders through a democratic process, hey, your responses. so good because it's so clear that you are correct and we appreciate so much. oh, your clarity on the issue and good people indeed you make a difference. so god bless you. thank you. and with that, i now recognize the ranking member dean. so we're back in february dependents aligned with the full, the prime minister in wrong cons, p t i and the one of the most of the seats in the election. so they failed to win. the absolute majority needed to form a united government according to the chief election commission of the elections with 100 percent free fat on from sparren's votes. he was held fully 2 years of physical invest after prime minister. and my account was removed from office in 2022 assistant secretary of state, donald blue passed a diplomatic cipher to washington's and boy in his lama. but con has publicly
9:23 pm
labeled the documents as proof of us conspired to oust his government. the full impact to stay prime minister is coming on trial for mishandling the confidential message above lou and the us department states have repeatedly denied his obligations. and yeah, we spoke to us on the yeah, group the member of congress on alliance for bills education. and she says that the words should consider washington is a criticism of, of the states with a lot of fruit to me. america is to have a lot of interest when it comes to lectures and democracy. and so they have their own point of view. um about on elections being able to make things happen in, in democracies, whoever wins says that they will walk pretty. and the one who uses with all they see that there was, they were a lot of just been sees and see with no fee or there was a lot of interest periods. and so it just seemed that is that you see happening now and the see that and to the report is mentioning that there were issues within
9:24 pm
data to them that the 2 lists also priest problems and you know, the, the usual routine information that is given to the student deposit both boxes done nothing new or used to be honest. the u. s. has criticized the recent presidential election in russia. well, there were observers for much of the rest of the world, given glowing, the pool was visiting posting stations a checking on everything. how serious nice of the us, the condemnation be taken, especially considering the silence of the ukraine and nodding elections and in that country you put, judge, really ugly. are we going to leave? you shouldn't be taking the american criticism very seriously. because in the recent times, we've seen that america is the only country which we tools whenever you look at a student issue is brought up in the united nations. so when countries which, which are clearly clearly against human rights, which are clearly assisting the countries and governments want abusing human rights
9:25 pm
and showing clear people christy, we need to take their to concerns. that does not also acknowledges to feel sort of focused on has had a election. so this is a routine election like every time that we have after 5 years, uh somebody has lost some, his will and the government is moving forward. so we need to be very cautious in this day and age when it comes to america's allegations. we need to be very cautious. the response of the sanctions against russia of the war and ukraine. western countries have quietly increased inputs of nuclear materials from the country over the past. yes. well it's according to reports by the bolona environmental foundation and g o. in norway. my colleague ritual route, but it's close to this area with us. it contributes a percent. russia has, it's probably the cleanest and the best best accessible nuclear nuclear fuel uranium is us in the world just kind of impossible for them to book it again, it just shows the that the upset,
9:26 pm
the t of the sanctions. right. we can also say the science and natural gas, right? that the, you know, the west is still important. it's huge amount of russian national, natural gas, which is why, you know, there are still buying some buses that can operate with swift. but only if they can pay for them, not if anyone else dissolved that that's what they doing. what exactly is there so much appetite for russian nuclear fuel and you even mid all the politics? are you brain over it just because the supply chains are already set up and they've incredibly regulated by the russian government and by the european and us so far as these notices are about 5 men, but we're talking nuclear field head. this is, this is a dangerous commodity to be transporting anyway, so really i think that's the truth of the my service. they've got no choice but to use this way if they want clean, effective, and safe nuclear energy visible on a report also mentioned is that you countries are planning to eventually phase out in parts of russian nuclear fuel and replace them with western supplies. but how
9:27 pm
long is that going to take and, and, and will it be a good deal for the fans? we're ready to last time i looked in the us and then you can, i didn't see a lot of you writing them is lying around. and i think, you know, the only other option really i'd say is, is the applicant comes in and, but the west, as, as, as we cover a lot on the program, the west has managed to alienate most african nations now. so i don't really see how they going to do this, so they going to off efficiently create a new key of fuel uranium to tell you that it's impossible. you can't do it. so don't really see, i think was it just more rhetoric coming from the european union and the us with absolutely no substance behind it. so we've seen so many sanctions against russia. none of them say mean to to any anything. but what do you think we can finally expect the west to start sanctioning rushes atomic energy industry and what sort of effect could these restrictions potentially have for? right. so i think we can see it coming very soon in some way, shape or form, especially when we seem to pull the site this from norwegian and g, i is bear in mind the notes stream pipeline. if we believe the, the allegations that people like site has was the norwegians we can probably see it . the trouble is if they can straighten that needs the supply,
9:28 pm
it's going to affect the likelihood it's going to affect the infrastructure of that country. so i guess i think they'll put them on, but what respects him what might not, i think most of them will because metric hm. interesting. well, even without future exports to western countries, russia has plenty of other nuclear projects in countries, turkey, in egypt, for example. what moscow really miss the loss of the western market? you think? i don't think so. right. so the to lot as fuel point is a brand new nuclear power plant which is being built as a joint venture between the roster and the techie. a government's we're seeing that in india as well in order these other nations. and let's not forget china, right? as china can absorb or the fuel in the world, if it needs to in order to drive its economy. we'll say we could probably say the same for india and then this other growing economies like indian easier, right? whether you know, the population is growing massively more energy is needed and rushes tubs from what i understand in terms of getting a nuclear pop up, built a very, very favorable. so i don't think ross is going to miss it. i think this only benefits the russian economy. yes. again, rather than detriments it in any way. and finally,
9:29 pm
google is far from unbiased when it comes to us elections. well, those are the findings of the want started group media research center. i was just released the reports that concluded that the tech joins is actively promoting candidates quotes aligned with this left his values. for 16 years, google has utilized its power to help push to electoral victory, the most liberal candidates, regardless of party, while targeting their opponents for censorship. utilizing the many tools and its arsenal, google aided those who most closely aligned with its leftist values from election cycle to election cycle since as far back as the 2008 presidential election. meanwhile, it targeted for censorship. those candidates who pose the most serious threat or more still found the google begun its election inst veterans during the 2008 presidential race by promoting preferred candidates to search algorithms. subsequent bullets them off the states. so the activity intensify,
9:30 pm
particularly in 2016 when google actually promoted hillary clinton against donald trump. because in parts hostage drastically in recent years, making a quotes as a more harmful to democracy. according to the media research center. the search diane has denied delegation since the business interests relies on keeping both sides of the fiscal. i'm happy by the host of political compensates. as the most vague says, the google has the responsibility to keep his platform unbiased. we know that the government talks to social media companies all the time. this is a big topic right now in this country. but when it comes to fixing things, when it comes to manipulating things on purpose, what people see when they search, what people see what the when they go to youtube, because they on youtube as well. of course, what's on google news? when people go to google news, if they're going to be protected and have protection, and they have a responsibility at least to try to present a fair, a platform. if you never get to have balance,
