of the, the, the world's largest food and beverage company as part of the scandal facing allegations of selling healthy or baby to, to western nations. leaving, developing countries with alternative is a pact with southern the french president says 0 is in danger and must not act as a us vessel the same week as the us secretary of state spoke for the you about us relations with china. during his trip to bay jane, and i spend 25 years since nato turned the journalist into target by bombing the main tv station in former yugoslavia killing at 16 of its workers. stay with us as we bring you a special report later on in the program. the

are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow were covering the top new stories from around the world. and the weeks gone by, leslie has found itself in broiled in scandal as it faces claims that it pushes baby food products, packed with sugar in developing countries, but offer as much healthier alternatives in western nations. we've heard from african women accusing nestle of malpractice. and i go to the hospital, there is as we say, c 2 general re databases. well this is c because i really said um eunice from sugar. i was surprised myself, so i had to withdraw every use of a leslie for the for now, it has a lots of health conditions. negative health integrations on the children's micro organisms help to maintain the protective layer in the go to prevent unwanted influences in the body. so the got says like

a binary. i protecting virus on this. i didn't, she does bring that very i don't our tears. malibu, you can gay looked into how western food companies pushing on healthy diet and developing countries. here's her report from south africa. chad in south africa like in many parts of the african continents, baby. molten serial. are a booming business and 2 european companies dominates the field for giants initially and didn't produce palm of that, but as of late. myspace has found itself entangled in a control obviously. because what positioning yourself as the solution to serious life threatening issues like hung up is studied by switch into or public. i found the company pushing products designed for children and developing countries that are packed with added should that the world health organization recommends that should, that isn't added into a baby's biased with anyone's diet until they 2 years old. and one of the issues

that b, c of the nest are important for some of the fact that is added sugar in some of the poor countries. is that the reason the sugar spawn added by may say it's own. so permission to global move, countries so so called waste and countries is because they recognize that this is a to a nutritional outfit for young children. next slide produces to need. i'm not just full babies, but they produce food for people, wages and in 2021. there was a major scandal way. there was a internal memorandum leak but showed that may say acknowledges but up to 60 percent basic portfolio is unhealthy. and one of the reasons it's unhealthy is because that add additional sugar. so if you can develop a sugar of dependency and young children was, they would see them consume as that means you'll have consumers for the rest of your life for your on house and products who actually took the time to visit one of so that's because because supermarkets and found that to the silicon baby so we

will have sugar in it. but there was no specification as to how much it contains. unlike the i the ingredients for them. contrast incident formula and serial, sold in switzerland. and on the main, you will pin markets with a company as is headquarters couldn't seem to notice sugar, let's say has a history dating back to the 1970s of reportedly violate to regulations put in place to protect the children. including the elated use of talk li button as the accusations of sending formula to the poor countries which is less healthy than the natural alternative of priesthood. in some countries, including south africa, has even puts in place recreations that prevents companies like loosely from aggressively promoting the consumption of our shop process fluids, including products with a high sugar content. the reason that they've really strict regulations including inside pickup that these companies like mesa, often breach when they makes these claims is because it's,

i'm the minds and discourage this woman from breast feeding. now why would you grace feed rather than give you a child commercial for me on moke? also see, it wouldn't have all of these additional harmful um products contained to ingredients . so it can be for a lot of matters, especially in south africa, access to say spend reliable more to supplies. it's really difficult. so when this is preparing the form animals, it means that they are exposing their children to die right? diseases, same belief that they would be more consequences in these global most countries. i think it stains from a genuine belief that they can exploit for a countries um that the populations will stand for it. and they know that if they have the harmful products in the market, the way they are rated and way they show shareholders and executives. and this, that they might actually use their reputation in their own countries. and then those who use the support that their country is gives them when they get busy with

these international shenanigans, despite the evidence presented mislead, denies all the locations against it. will have undertaken significant efforts to minimize sugar content throughout our product range, including the face removal of edits, sugars such as sucrose and gluco syrup from our growing up milks for children above 12 months. worldwide web lie, the same attrition, health and wellness principles. everywhere aligned with international guidelines and regulations. this includes compliance with labeling requirements and thresholds on carbohydrate content, including sugars, parents, children and communities in these poor countries, especially in covert district and citizens of africa with mothers have no choice but to feed the children. what these products have resulted to the one thing that had a band and as a result of these products, breast feeding. when i 1st heard about the news, i decided to throw the products away. i don't use them anymore until ultimately i

know they're still parents who have no other choice but to feed their children with these products using siri, lack is easy either need electricity or too much water, especially as people who never have water and electricity. but for the life of our child is no other way to ask and the government to check these things before the end of the country for the sake of our children and the future. why would they allow us to feed all babies with dangerous cereals? they don't even tell us a wellness that clinics. well, i understand that miss and it's a business, right? but if you're going to be marketing, put up school babies, like you went on a cigarette box, say this is not how healthy or it's harmful for the levels. i think there should be a key, a warning sign. you need to make the consumer real aware of the consequences of using the product for all the all growing pools for africans to buy costs of these products. such tweak is limited only if you are willing to speak on some of the issues perhaps. so we can just how big and influential such with giants have become

littlefield couldn't get oxy to hide this back. europe could dine, that's the message from the french president, calling the you to be more independence and unified. however, this doesn't seem to resonate with even what his allies think has ortiz charlotte davinsky reports. the sauce is president out of the stock warning this week for you . we're pins, you do it. we must be clear about the fact that today. oh, europe is more children, it's going to die. it can die and that the best solely on our choices. but these choices are to be taken on. now, my goal is to can narrow by the choices of with the looks, the full feature relationships. it seems that's going to be bad news for the low reading transatlantic friendship. do you like watching mid that? well, we must continue to forge partnerships with non e u. countries speak. in other words,

we'll to europe capable. it's demonstrating that there is a never the best. so the united states, apparently nobody in both the fill in the us, secretary of state, the e. u isn't one of its fossil states. anthony blinking was in beijing telling the chinese how to stay on the news. good side vision cannot achieve better relations with europe while supporting the greatest threat to european security. since the end of the cold war. as, as we told china for some time, ensuring transatlantic security is a for us interest in our discussion today, i made clear that if china does not address this problem, we will, maybe someone should feel it been, but getting back to not calling to speak speech. it all felt a bit would good to take it, and that's because it was back in 2017. when he was freshly elected michael and gave a speech that acted as an i didn't a kit for this week's version. he will in your report at the precipice. he called

for you all me, a common defense budget. none of which resonated in brussels newell be on time. how soon we change that we'd be use $27.00 nations old marching along to that and choose the discussion about your opinion. army is actually a displacement activity because it will not come to that. and we will know that the question is, if, if i ask as a soldier, as i'm able to read what these european army know where they put on so that most of what my coincide was, can you to, with sending more a to ukraine. but getting the year to do this, to gather that is fortunately clear that quite to e u countries will to continue to make decisions. totally, mostly take spain on greece, both of point blank refuse to send the defense systems over to key f. i things raising concerns about its own safety. if it did so,

greece will not send neither es, 3, hundreds nor patriots to ukraine. we have said from the start, that we cannot provide weapon systems that are critical to our deterrence capability. when we trade with $43.00 cleared, also disagree. who's macros? recent suggestion that you are paying ground troops could be sent to you. cranes, douglas, germany and well berlin bleats about coming together and everyone pulling the weight that only goes so far because when it comes down to it it, it also wants to hold tight onto its weapon supplies, particularly it's tourist missiles plus different as far as the weapon system in question is concerned, my decision will not change. now what brussels maybe actually for my clothes id is these days is proven and capable of putting any of them into action. let's take something as simple as we use promised to send 1000000 artillery shells secured by march 2024. yes. last month. did it? no. why not?

it's simply didn't have the capacity to produce them and that is a big problem. but in your face is a when, if it could to 3 or all of this, it's not a joke. we are in deep ammunition is a symptom of a cultural problem within europe. they're talking from an industrial point of view of building a supply chain of 2 to 3. here's going back to that other idea of an e u. all me not going isn't the only one calling for this early this here. that was the same message that came from a to these foreign minister who were suppose a flat know from at least for you, nations, spain, outlining why it was a no go the establishment of his common defense, a necessary framework for the development of the european army would require an unanimous decision of the council if achieving this requirement was almost impossible in 1992. when the re, you was composed of 12 member states, a decision by any you have 27 or more countries in the future would be very

difficult to take in this context, the idea or is unrealistic or on affordable in the near future. so sorry, missed the macro and but the idea is already fundamentally so when blanked on his trip to china was coming to a close. busy as on friday, he accused badging of attempting to meddle in the us selection, claiming he saw evidence of that. something by jane has repeated, they denied the. all right, let's go live now to entertain gin, senior fellow at the tie hood institute and are going to have you on with us shortly after his trip to badging. as i mentioned there blinking accuse china of planning to influence and arguably interfere with the upcoming us elections. is this just a 2nd unsubstantiated russia game? well, yes, i, rachel, it is just simply biden's declining popularity, especially over issues of gaza. right now. these student protests are spreading,

obviously he's lost most of them, airbag which could affect them in pennsylvania and michigan. so this is a domestic issue. blanking is simply trying to set up a narrative, some how that china favors trump as opposed to biden. because there's this belt way issue about who can be tougher on china or russia. a honor during his trip to china blinking also reiterated the us commitments to the one china policy. but how does that tally with washington support to taiwan, which well, um, the $8000000000.00 in uh, military support. stationing us troops in taiwan to train uh, the taiwanese uh, you know, these are the moves not of, um, you know, trying to create peace and de escalate. the situation of us is trying to keep the taiwanese issue on a low boil. they do not want to direct conflict, but they welcome any moves by china that they can characterize as aggressive and

to try to poke china, they do all these things to, you know, for walk it was, can you say, i mean military and things like this? having a senior us officials go there talking about taiwan is if it's some sort of independent nation at the same time, you know, hit the critically saying, oh, we adhere to the agreements we signed in and the late seventies and early eighties, the uh, the chords saying that yes, we only recognize one china, but this is, this is, this game is running, then you cannot continue to be a hypocrite and expect people to believe you. relations between washington and beijing are quite strained. is blinking this trip about damage control. and do you think he has been able to achieve any of that as well? i think unfortunately, you know, uh, the blanket in beijing is kinda like blinking in wonderland. uh,

it's not clear uh what he's doing there or what he wants to achieve. and frankly, this latest trip has quick question, his ability to be a critical, credible diplomat and communicator. and i'll continue. reminder the us continues to turn charles to china to solve issues it created. this is, you know, kind of odd. i mean, you're, there's even this a notion that was being pushed by yell and that it's trying is duty to finance the us and it's at the end, filed us was trying to contain china, a very strange kind of belt way, gymnastics way of thinking in the us has recently been ramping up its military presence in the asia pacific region blinking and a speech and paging double down on us defense commitments to the philippines. how do you think that has an influence on us china relations? so obviously it's negative. i mean, but this is the same playbook that the us is used everywhere. it's gone. look at south america, africa, middle east. now europe,

it is always about instigating some sort of crisis dividing and conquering. this is something out of the old colonial play book, but, you know, as i said, the, the global order, as you can see in the u. n. votes against, you know, where the u. s. is the so, you know, hold out of them together with israel, especially on cause. it just really paints a picture where the us is isolating itself rather than dominating the way it used to, you know, and it's not just adversaries, but also us allies like singapore that have voice to concerns over the us military involvement in the south china sea. why is washington seemingly deaf to those voices from its allies? well, this is, this is the real question. i mean, there, there doesn't seem to be an in game and anything that washington is pursuing. they, they say, well, we're right. and so therefore everybody is wrong or either with us or against us. but where are you going?

as the us dismantles the international order that is championed, you know, a post world war 2 people are saying, well, what does this mean? it doesn't mean that you make america great, means that we should become service to you as a sort of some sort of hunger games. movie re enactment with, you know, the us at the center and everyone else subservient. it just, it is unclear and obviously the message is not resonating with the global south. the rest of the world who just sees this is, you know, a very, very cynical selfishness. you know, meanwhile we have the issue of the us, look into band tick, tock or, or force, the sale of it's us part to a more friendly nation. do you think that this is really about china or more about what the us can't control as well? it's, it's really is about china. um, obviously they keep saying that somehow tick tock is different from facebook and acts and all these other social media sites that quite frankly, it isn't. you can add true social to that which is even more inflammatory. but you

know this, this is the game. any time a chinese company rises to the top, like fall way of a z t e. many of these other country is the u. s. deliberately brings down the gambling says you're a threat to security. you're a threat to our way of life and we have to get rid of you. the iron is that, you know, they tried to kill huawei in every way. they could not only domestic leaving throughout the world by adding pressure to countries. but while is back on top and this isn't working, it's like sanctions. us always says let's impose sanctions, sanctions, have it worked. otherwise, cuba would not be where it is today. russia, you know, the idea that the sanctions was going to bring rushes x kind of me to a stand still, or even, you know, get a complete breakdown. hasn't happened. instead, it's europe that is racing. the most dire consequences from us actions against it

in the brain conflict in, you know, the deputy russian for ministers. so i gave rehab, tom said, blinking his visit is aimed at breaking in the chinese russian partnership. is that how you see it? and do you think that washington can be successful? you know, i, i, if it was that clear, who would be interesting because then you could at least analyze it. clear. yeah, i'm, you know, very important to the us is trying to break up china and russia, russian resources, chinese market and production together is creating a juggernaut that the us cannot handle international. so there will be attempts, obviously, to break them apart. how successful would be very unknown. it's just not clear that there can be any kind of resolution given an amount of blood that has been spilled . and the obvious tear terrible feelings of americans towards the russians created by the international press and government. all right,

we're gonna leave it there on our tank and senior fellow of the tie who institute and are great to have you on. as always. thank you, rachel. a boeing plane has been forced to return to johannesburg after one of his tires fell off during take off. the plan was on his way to cape town when the incident occurred. this video shows the moment the play successfully made an emergency landing that comes as new as her craft china has been battered by extreme turbulence right now. it has been accused of cutting course, yolanda itself bigger profits. but a us senate is looking to to clip its wings, as are teased on the quarter, explains the planes running off the taxi ways paneling falling off mid flights, windshields cracking and scores of injuries just last month. owings reputation continues to fall deeper into the gutter with the new revelation that the company is faced 30 to whistle blower complaints over the past 3 years. it comes just days

after one of the companies engineers turned whistleblower took to the senate floor and accused his bosses of cutting corners on the production line. are these places say right now i would not. you know, it's like an earthquake. you know, it, the big are quite as common, but when, when that hits the building that, you know, you, let's say if you're talking of a building, have to be prepared to accommodate that type of a, let's say shakeup. you know, it has to be built properly, right now, room, but i've seen the airplanes are allowed being built per spec and per require. i literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to a line, a call of the cars on the effect, among other improper methods. the aerospace trying to attempt it to once again whitewash the situation. this time was the last minute twitter post, according to solve for though, when he raised his concerns to management, he was met not with understanding what's threats. similar accusations of

retribution were voice that a separate senate committee here and they hear speak up if you see anything that's on the safe. but what they see is that if they do speak up, they get very little feedback. and if they insist they may find themselves on the short end of the stick next time raises or bonuses, or, or, or job transfers come up or even worse. but doctors allegations seem even more convincing when we consider the story of john barnett, a former boeing employee also cried. fowler mysteriously died last month apparently from a self inflicted wounds. just as he was gathering key evidence to present and a lawsuit against his former employers. o, as in charles, pushing by defects to our suppliers. well, i'd tell you can attain before inspectors. spirit arrows systems to inspect the 41 section before they send ex charles. and we found $300.00 defects. some of them were significant that need an engineering intervention. when i returned to

charleston, my senior manager told me we had found so many defects and he was going to take the next trip southern extra or you went on to a mine inspectors. and when they got back, they were given national age. the only plan in 50 dfcs for its part boeing rejects these accusations that it retaliates against concerned employees and even says it's making it easier for its workers to file complaints. the moines increase, the promotion of the speak up reporting system result in the more than 500 percent increase in the number of submissions during the 1st quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. increased reporting of the sign of progress stored or robust reporting culture. all the while safety incidents continue to go through the roof with boeing, struggling to fulfill safety orders by airlines. after 2 deadly 737 crashes in 20182019. then in march of this year alone the paddling flew off of $1737.00 mid flight. another had its windshield cracks and 50 people were even

injured after being thrown around the cabin of a $78079.00 during a so called technical event. it all seems to add credibility to the damming accusations of the former boeing engineer, who spoke to the senate along side salad for the department of justice and f. b. i relied on this landed results of the 1st max accident investigation to develop the legal and unjust deferred prosecution agreement. the mts b chair reiterated the congress that boeing has said there are no records documenting the removal the alaska airlines store. this is a criminal cover up records do in fact exist. i know this because i've personally passed them to the fbi. i to make matters worse for the company. stocks have dropped 35 percent this year, making boeing the 2nd worst performing company on the s and p 500 index. these are the same people who want to make flying cars by 2030. it's an idea that was more than crazy enough to bring out the internet. trolls no tags. they can't even make

reliable fine planes yet. will the doors and windows full off? i want to know thank experience. they already protected flying doors. hell know if it's boeing, then i'm definitely not going the secretary of state to had a problem with his boeing plane twice already and even had to travel by car. so it's potentially lease old technical failures continue to pile up. it's likely more and more people from all walks of society will go out of their way to avoid boeing aircraft altogether. united for peace, those are the words a former us president bill clinton, that marks the beginning of nato's bombing campaign in the former yugoslavia 25 years ago. natal rained down at tens of thousands of bombs and missiles killing hundreds of civilians. what follows is our special coverage of those events and the impact that left on history and the lives of the people of the region.

we are to protect thousands of innocent people in the, to the fuse a power to get the heart of bureau to stand united with our allies, for future generations to see those in europe. again, the journalists became targets under the bombing around 260 people were working in the main radio. television network in yugoslavia are 2 yes. one and they don't miss. so struck the building. we heard from a survivor a club bill that it was a dialogue any other given that the what was going on around this, we were coming to work as usual because we thought that it's time replication is.

so just going to the past who failed in defending the country, then we had our job to doing television. when that was the most normal thing to do to show up for work, even in those conditions that night at the tv station, there were around 260 people before everything happened, everything was normal. one to that phase we use to am. we will such as usually in the news gallery, we were getting ready to go on a we put on the title news jingles. and the 1st story went on, the camera started recording in the studio, and after that, just boom, reset attention to cps for the the 2 effects pulls the equivalent. we've heard a loud explosion, and after that we couldn't hear anything. we flew out and spoke to that there was just don't this talk, this one about produces started to panic and wanted to get out of that. but the tools are broken and we couldn't get sounds. then my colleagues and i come down and try to move the door and we managed to break out. then for the 1st time, i realized once it happened,

i could turn my head to see the whole city just don't around the whole city. and it was very shocking. we pulled ourselves together and started caroll. frank holdings to them were in the room where the wall was completely probably to pods. then we decided that we wouldn't go out, but we'll try and see if there's anybody injured on the other floors and how we can help them. we didn't think bones could forward and the people were more important to us. we went downstairs and realized that we couldn't leave any further from the labels that were blowing off the semi hood screens in the room. below that, we realize that that colleagues would try one of our engineers. we told him not to move because we couldn't get to him. we thought that firefighters must arrive by now and they had when we went to was a new part of our building. we came across them and took them to the lower floor, where they rescued. i called an awful lot, we went outside, it was a huge number of police firefighters and soldiers. then we realize, and so how many more people are the house we were looking to see who is alive? and if anyone has heard from outside, we could just see this mass of ruins with one of our colleagues hanging from the

building upside down. with his leg stuck on the concrete. he had a hole in his head and he was already dead. lots of people lost as could be of guess it, something like this could happen, but the audience is not. we could never have guessed this because it was a tv station in the city center. how can you pull them the city center? there were people, the civilian buildings for me, it was unbelievable that they foamed it. many people couldn't believe something like that could happen. this was a month off the nature of the gun. it's a legal bullying of the subs and it smashed into pieces of fundamental part of the geneva convention. the journalist seemed was that means must be treated, the civilians on the full, protected. and what nature has described this surgical precision. it's right here. this was the headquarters of the main radio television network in the federal republic of yugoslavia. it's called off. yes. and it still exists on a typical provider. us officials didn't know i breaching the.
