[000:00:00;00] the, the top headlines right here, one of the international and oxy correspondent, detained to blue. see at both, we have a stand with no reason it's given. you had been heading to cover the ongoing protest in the georgia in the capital structures. the security council says a direct link has been found between ukraine at last month's concept hold. terry, we're talking about scope. involves all those involves will be honest, relation of the conflict is the result of need on the not to not lead us. the 3rd world war ended really present. nicholas, my daughter, arrived there a warning of the precarious situation. the world finds itself in the west of nations of israel, not to strike back at the wrong,

but could happen sometime today. also clean up off the yourself as much areas of know so that the british oil giant shall exit its faith in the country, making up for the pollution of the rich people in the region for many the lives of the game. what is going on there about the position and the judges that out in the to the, in about the it is tuesday night here in most go we are looking at a busy one, a ton of good top storage. ready to roll here or not. so kicking off the program with breaking news for you, this our, as our correspondent, the quarter has been detained and the police, the apple. he was heading to georgia to cover the protests to go some more detail. say without these equal or styles. a, basically my colleague and i was calling don't quote a he traveled to georgia on the,

at the board to check points at the book at the board to check when he presented his passport, his, his id. and apparently he was told that if there was some technical glitch in the system that wouldn't recognize his boss bodies documents. and so he was just told to wait or it took, it looked fine at that time. but then he was just quoted to an isolated room, and that was all pretty much we haven't had anything from him ever since. so probably his means of communications were taken away from him. it is a very troubling development because essentially it looks like he has been denied entry to georgia and he was traveling that to cover the latest protests in the georgia and capital against the lou on for an agents. again, this is not the 1st time that he's done so because it's the 2nd attempt to of the georgia government to park this new and a he was the one for our international to cover the process last year when the

says when the government essentially made the 1st attempt to vote on that bill have a look. this is a piece over his report from the crowd, the number here. the so we're getting you can see he was reporting from the thick of it from the crowd from the crowd. now a little bit more about this new because this for an agent floor, it's very similar to the one that the russia has or the united states have a basically, according to the georgia in bill because it is still a bill every and g o or media outlet is for and if

a for and funding makes up 20 percent or more of the entities budget, they have to register and they would be subject to a few extra extra financial proceed to procedures and checks. so the opposition argues that if the bill is boston to a little, it would move the country further away from the integration with the e. u. and this is what the opposition ones, but i won't include all so they all use that. this bill again is tossed into it would limit the freedom of speech and the, basically the freedom of the press. and in fact, the administration in washington has to be making the very same point. even though the for an agents legislation exists in the us to remain deeply concerned that this draft legislation would harm civil society organizations working to improve the lives of george and citizens and would the rail georgia from its european path.

we're also concerned that this draft legislation would impede independent media organizations working to provide access for georgia and citizens to high quality information. well, now probably at least one journalist won't be able to report on the floor and on because of the opposition who seemed to be striving, who seemed to be advocating for the freedom of the press. so much please phone john . this won't be able to report on that. i mean, while the demonstrators have, you know, gathering outside of georgia in parliament to continue a rally against the adoption of a foreign agents, bill protests can be seen a waving drawers and then a, you flags this process with a place where you can see that was 70 flowering up, that's up to 14 people with a pain. during mondays were the secretary of the russian and the security council says a direct link speed improve and between ukraine. last month's concert, whole terror attack and most go to the left. 145 people died. for did i see of the

one very striking example of humanity and see as hatred of our country as the service itself in cocoa city on march 22nd. during the investigation, the connection between the direct public changes of this terrorist attack and you create a nationalist was confirmed, and procedurally established the perpetrators accomplices organizers of this most just bloody terrorist attack and the affiliated persons no matter where they hide and no matter how they try to confuse it straight, who sold their crime will suffer the deserved punishment to put themselves nichol. i pod, the rash of added that these perpetrators will be found no matter where they were and that they will be held accountable. now just to remind you a little bit that form gunmen were arrested after the attack on their way to the ukrainian border. now, previously they were claims that there were radical assignments, but that they had a handler waiting for them. on the other side of the board, the note is official. russian officials have solid proof that links this attack to

ukrainian nationalist nichol. i pod thrush of also emphasized that a number of terrorist attacks that were planned by ukraine work conducted and prevented by russia that includes thrown attacks or even deadly attacks against the journalist. he also emphasized the fact that for a very long time, the west has been longing to seize the rushes resources of the today. they've decided to isolate russia as much as possible. now we also highlighted that measures have taken place to improve rushes security, and that includes a training on the regular basis to counter terrorism as well as to intensify the introduction of modern equipment to help with that as well. and, and he says that plans to rescue and protect people have been developed in all of russia's regions. let's take this conversation further and learn a bit more with michael lou, lou, former pentagon, senior security policy analysts joining us. i live on, on the international mike, as always get great to get you on the show. what do you, what do you think of the comments? their roster security guy chief says

a t f was directly involved in a crocus city, a whole attack? well, i guess i'd ask you what kind of reaction would you be expecting from t of as well. i would expect that they will be silent and possibly deny it. but i also would hope that we could get more clarity and transparency and identification of what entities in uh, in ukraine were engaged. but i think you got to go beyond just the entities and ukraine. you got to find out who the actual finance seniors were. and they are from the west and i have a fairly reliable information that some, some, there are, is a group of multi millionaires who may have been involved in, in helping to finance this. so you can identify the entities within ukraine. but i think we need to also go further to see who helped fund that and got this guy was literally funded. yeah, it's a great point. i mean, you know, i ministry x,

but kind of douglas mcgregor. he said recently in the wake of the croaker sotera talking start at the end of the day, it'll fails as back down to m. i. 6 and langley, and yet the white house repeatedly blaming isis for the croakers through the whole attack. well, the end of the ice is a, basically a western construct used to wage for and it was and the chief regime change. so. so who is the guilty party here, as well as the colonel mcgregor's correct? um, it did it. i think all roads lead back to the agency, they will use their own cut outs and as well it as well as them by 6 though use their own cut outs. and i think that this is um, uh, you're not going to get any cooperation. certainly from them, and it's going to, it's going to be necessary to try and, and cultivate that information even further with people in the companies themselves and say, who, who was bank rolling them within a, in, in ukraine say, who was bank rolling them? i mean it's, you know, people have been saying for a while now the, you know, they, they, the cycle,

conventional conflict on going between russia, nato and america, in the very unfortunate tragic stage and ground of ukraine at the end of the day, you know, ever since going back to ukraine's failed counter offensive last summer. it's all been going. russia's way, russia, you know, essentially has been winning now and producing many times more ammunition. you know, it looks like nature countries are trying to find a way to back pedal out of this conflict in ukraine. but at the end of the day, where do we stand now? it looks like key f is now going to employed tyra tactics. i guess the only way to get onto the skin of russia because this last one is the entire tree, as well as less the war the that war was over months ago that the, the, what the resorting to now is, is, is a, is too little too late and it's not gonna change or change the tide of anything rush, it will hold on to the land. said that the it and now occupies. these are russian speaking areas. they don't,

they clearly don't appear to have any few further intentions of sweeping through ukraine and then into europe. i don't see that contract is to uh, western belief, but um, not the less, they are going to continue that monitoring because they want, they want the payments to be to, to continue our, uh, our, our lobbies, our, our military industrial complex requires that we, we require conflict in order to do it and in order to continue the high level of funding that they've become accustomed to. so we need to have this work and with the evidence and going to be this for okay. let's switch on over to israel m m m m m guys a m m a ron now. wow. here's another opportunity to fund our, our, our military industrial guys. and if that doesn't work, yeah, we can find another one. yeah. so easy it's, it's almost like, you know, you're probably almost 2 or that of for rep a was a tom that's why i get it right out and yeah, yeah,

yeah. with the stuff we have. yeah. and data will you, you would know, considering your background on your experience, a former pentagon senior security policy analyst, michael maloof live here. winowski. thanks so much for your time, michael. thank you, roy, to limit the doc no. solve the coca city whole attack. i come glimpses of light of the way people rally together to help in any way they could. and honestly, documentary on campus tales of bravery, remembering, of course, the victims. and you can watch the film here. what else you throughout the day for an hour, quick preview. the the the we had a round before to magic side behind us. he said i was, i thought, that's it. so my dad. but also i saw people standing around me. i yelled off to me

and began to run outside the door. every person there was a hero. no, no, she shut it off to me. i'll pray for you for the sale be there. we one band together. and i think our people don't like that that have been many more victims on which and such as our people are very empathetic and take these troubles to hardy, to see that purpose passed. my soul aches, my heart aches. how could i not say farewell to those people who died? the affairs that had already simmering middle east could soon board either on the rise south israel wounded round. it should expect a response to stop the day's attack. in fact, according to soldiers in washington, it could be some time today. you know, i'm going to face the consequences for its actions. we would choose,

highway spawns accordingly. the idea remains ready to come to any for it, for me on, and it still proxies. as we continue our mission to defend the state to visit, i want to just remind you why iran launched a flip killer of miss aisles and driving to the israel and as far as direct attack on the country on saturday night, it's around said he was retaliation for deadly as ready strife on his account to live in syria, nearly all of the incoming targets was successfully intercepted. iran said and i'll consider the matter closed until it, unless, as it says, it has no other option. we do not seek to expand the war. well, we will cut off every hand that attacks our country. any aggression from israel or its supporters will be met with a stronger response than before. while the groups of iranians was saying, celebrating the strike on saturday. and as israel morales as responds, the venezuelan president will,

in the world find itself precariously in okay, on a photo, what is left for us to do? do you have like a diploma sitting rationality be value because it does not escalate. an escalation of the conflict is the result of need on the yahoo, snots and madness lead us the 3rd world war. i mean, as well, advocates piece, rationality, diplomacy and to as well, washington which has perhaps the most defined, the flames of this conflict. so that stands by israel. it's won't go against escalation. but at a fundamental level, there is a bond between the united states and the people of israel, and that bond rest on are shared security. and one of the things that we will continue to be committed to is the defense of that security. and are you willing to risk original thoughts a war for this? i think you've heard me say here a number of times that we are working to pursue de escalation. and that has been the focus of our diplomacy since october 7th, not just over the weekend,

but since day one is trying to pursue the escalation and prevent the conflict from widening and spreading and expanding. so while jo biden's election cycle administration in washington, desperately tries to tell us the conflict in the middle east is in spreading the facts on the ground. tell us something completely different. the reality, 16 different countries in the region are no embroiled in the burgeoning conflict. as around ratchets up the pressure and deliver its, its 1st, the record colloquy strikes on he's ready. soil, you'll have to ask yourself why the us is so determined to tell you that this dangerous situation is contained? well, maybe that's because they would prefer to can field the vast u. s. military presence in the region. after all,

the us deployed thousands of aircraft and launch air defense missiles from at least a countries with a run. and it's proxies fired weapons from a rec, syria, and e m. and it all sounds well, looks like the regional conflict to me. but despite all this, despite what we can plainly see on the map, the us is refusing to acknowledge reality. in terms of the striking, damascus, all it is a real speak for themselves and you know, and when it comes to preventing a wider regional conflict, um, you know, so far there is not. uh, we certainly hope that doesn't happen. again. the reality on the ground tells us something completely different. as you can see, the us has quite me build a huge network of air defenses to fight a regional war. it's telling us that just isn't happening. and if that's true, we're the american air cost based in q 8. jordan the you

a part. and so do you rate of you and they're working to defend as really ya sits on the ground alongside their own basis. u. k. is also intimately involved in this apparently, nonexistent, more actively engaging against iranian air force assets during the attack on the as well. but the spike, this washington is sticking to the story even when pre of their soldiers were killed in a drone attack. in the region. we don't want to see a whitening of this conflict. we don't see this conflict whitening as it still remains contained to gaza or the western media has of course don't. it's best to assist white house attempts to downplay the seriousness of the situation in the region. like eagerly spinning divided ministrations, all is well narrative. even telling us that the a rainy attack represented a victory for israel. i'm regardless of what the pentagon on their bosses in the white house tells us. it's clear that the us is up to its neck in the middle east problems,

but admitting that during an election year is not something any sitting president wants to do. much like the collapsing ukrainian misadventure. it's far better to convince the taxpayers funding is that everything is going just fine. when a jordan is one of us, several nations that took part in taken out those around you and drones. and did say that it only accurate in self defense and doesn't want to become a part of a larger regional. is this alex and this is all a message and the message is clear for everyone, for this role and flavor on the google not to allow anyone to cause the security or fault people to be in that ancients. it's very clear that we're concerned by the writing in a tackle as well. we're a concern for what we believe is the interest of the security or false citizens. we won't be of also, and it's important for everyone to know. this is almost a mission. the bus separately, i mean we grabbed between these 2 big guy on the countries in the regions of

problem use that seem to need it to do something again and to avoid our sentence, the worst case scenario. but who knows what we, how does, if you wish it wouldn't be getting deteriorated to the point to come to live and get it up for that administer at the 56 times under the be did the phone fad. that ga that we deal with the any is that i can still the viola, it's of the energy as, as vase the same way we need that. you know, i'm him up in the bio list. a lot of stuff in the add add a space. but when the, how do we have the ability to do that? what the action of our major outlines in that agents, you know, begins and i met again, this is a really big was in the us. that was, would it be ready to be in the upcoming days? the oil giant show should be forced to clean up its mess before being allowed to exit. nigeria, that's the message i missed. the international among others,

is sending to the authorities and the west african next shel should not be permitted to use legal gymnastics. to escape is the responsibilities for clean up its widespread, the legacy of pollution. the companies that investment record is replete with examples of phone show room lighting licenses being sold without adequate safeguards to protect nigerians from home and an ice even government from financial liability. a shell is accused of causing pollution, including water contamination, agricultural poisoning, as well as our role damaged to the livelihoods of local. the director of amnesty international is nigerian bra undersized, the environmental devastation must be remedied by those costs. that are instances where the communities that come from my desk to know there are issues that as the quote between the boy in giant and the communities. and what are we talking about and you say, legacy or dictates, you know,

as part of the sixties and to know to know that a legacy of devastation, you know, destruction of livelihood as fees of task piece of toilet can be, you know, leave of the, in the ocean and many other damages that actually affected the life cycle of those. we believe the company has a responsibility and it has to be in the region for many decades. begin with one most. what is going on there about the oil formation and the lead you to set out for a local to the bottom. so the company has to, what do we have for them to actually use a commitment to address in the environment and in justice. that shouldn't be a prior authorization or business or by the lives of human beats when businesses

that businesses band priority is low. and we want to know that that is what has to be happening. would add that oil companies. uh, we can see the image in the, in anticipation because we don't know the legacy of the new company coming in. but definitely the database is, which is the reason why we are doing what are we are doing now we are seeing what we see that gives he is that people taking advantage of this among the people and different states in their own environment. why in making money not making for the out of their out of their business. so what do we see use that? what i'm is the interaction of these organizations. i see that this comes with you . what came, what is, what you might use, perhaps indeed we have to wait. we have to make sure that they can be able to address these problems. how do we know you will know about their capacity to handle these things?

that is why we say that is an issue and has to be addressed. so what we're doing that is indicating they get the power of them or not. the issue i've had um is the issue of the damage done by the shit hole. why is it has to be addressed? i mean, it has to be the priority full, but it will show you some, a wild pictures in a sec as a do by international airport, had to close earlier today, off the massive rains in the region, close, wide spread, flooding have looked like the that's an ad plan, so it looks more like a boat at this point to try to move around in on data tax. the ways the closure of the apple cause widespread disruptions in a severe storm by the u. a. e and oman, leaving at least 18 people dead. emergency services were said to be struggling to cope the, the us national security adviser has once again postponed his visit to india. now

he wants to to attend an annual meeting of the initiative on critical and emerging technology is a project about launch last year. it was intended to bolster cooperation in the field, despite us officials waxing lyrical about india as important as an ally. and everything has now been cancelled twice. a partnership between the us in india, a country in bricks, has gone to new heights with an engagement across technology. and so many are in security. and so many other dimensions to india is the world's largest democracy. it is an important strategic partner of the united states and i expect that to remain true or relations between the 2 countries have been a little strained of late as off of the us. so offered a refuse to seek separatist and even implied new daily was putting assassination attends were simply washington in for the rest of a chief minister in new delhi was an election interference with india foreign bank saying it was the us itself that was meddling. the recent remarks where the state

department of unwarranted any such external invitation or not, electronic and legal processes is completely unacceptable. and india legal processes are driven only by the rule of law. anyone who has similar the plus specially federal democracies should have no difficulty in appreciating this fact on a former india and have asked that defect voter says that there's a difference between words and action. when it comes to closing up to new delhi, there is sometimes a shadow between the world and the action of people in india or no data needed. any more advisors saying we love you guys and then get us in the band. so that used to happen, not anymore. so i do believe that these statements shouldn't be taken with the share florida assault. and we believe that the actions if they are taken with then

convince us of this and saturday and trustworthiness of our partners, whoever they are very, very busy and nice things about us. we will fall in love with them and then do remind us and then control the well. they also say some nice 2 things about us. we don't take that, i'd say there's. ringback any more nobody in policy making so it goes. ringback in the us, in fact, we've done some work do when i mean i say something to are in and this is my personal opinion. no one has ever to choose the americans or being sensitive to the concerns of their bosses. well, in uh, what is, are the world's largest democratic exercise in the head for the polls and a couple of days? can you imagine almost to be leaving, voters will be able to cost that balance in a general election and will be bringing you all the latest coverage right here on this network. the it will be going for

a while the voting will last for 6 weeks. so for several phases, it seems right now that the voices of indian women could prove pivot, hold in determining the outcome. so of an alice watts, he's going to and sharma as this sill 2024. there are 9. 68000000 people eligible to war 3. in the india, that's small than the entire population of year olds. the largest democracy, heads to the polls with a range of movie, leaves the b j b to and they just retrieve yet or will the position make them. bach swapped out football, it's multi multi all the way these times when a bigger majority was over 400 seats is what i'm all this time. we want congress. we want change. moody has been around for 10 years. there's so much inflation, food, petrol, gas, electricity, everything is so expensive and there are no jobs. the audit endeavors end of the

100 percent. marty is coming back. love it or hate. there is no other option. the opposition is just so weak. the selection may be marked by identity politics, but the bread and butter issues will not be forgotten. unemployment rising prices and anti incumbency will certainly be key issues here in the largest on a stage with highest inflation in the country. and with bows just a few days away, the political campaigning has reached fever pitch. ah, perfect, that's the way you look book. nobody does is like magic. this has style of work. he makes the impossible happen. people believe in him because he does what he says. then you come with a little bit in sort of more. these guarantees are all a bunch of hot air. it's sold just to vote this month's hollow political promises that he never fulfills. there are no jobs here. no work on the lice or on the ground. well,

they may not be enough jobs. there are handouts teams that seem to be working, especially with the women field and largest tongue, the largest stage in india, orlando, relics also a land where women have historically been oppressed. we analyze why women water may just close the key to who wins the selection in what is seen as the closing gender gap and the indian intellect. dora landscape, full 71000000 women are expected to wolf this time. a remarkable increase from the last elections, but now just like costs and communities and india, women have become a real tranquil thoughts with political bodies, willing them, and saving skins financial promises. i'm all the saying you behind the agree, successful mom says the woman, but it looks like it's millions of women in case of meetings and will be more dizzy . there is more days,
