00:00:14of
00:00:19of
00:00:20of The
00:00:24Ukrainian capital is hit by a
00:00:26of massive overnight attack with multiple strikes reported across the city.
00:00:32Washington claims the straight of horm will soon reopen, while Iran is
00:00:36reportedly close to an agreement with Oman regarding shipping in the critical
00:00:43de waterway. of And Tucker Carlson launches his 10 point vision for
00:00:47America, promising to break the traditional two-party stranglehold on
00:00:51US politics. Our panel of guests weighs in on whether the
00:00:54shift is actually feasible. Are people
00:00:58willing to actually put the work that goes beyond the
00:01:02money and populism is the name
00:01:03of the game at this point, we see populist and insurgent candidates
00:01:07and political movements all throughout the world, especially uh in
00:01:11the west. the two main parties, the republicans and democrats were
00:01:14virtually identical in many, many
00:01:16ways.
00:01:31Our top story this hour, the Ukrainian capital came under a massive
00:01:35overnight attack with multiple strikes reported through the
00:01:38city. Social media also reported explosions in
00:01:41Njepra Petrovsk and other Ukrainian regions. The
00:01:45Russian ministry of defense has not yet issued any comment regarding the strikes,
00:01:49but of course we'll keep you
00:01:51of updated. Now that says the ministry of defense has confirmed
00:01:55two more Ukrainian
00:01:56of naval tankers have been destroyed in the black sea,
00:01:59in an analyst. are estimating that Moscow's maritime blockade has
00:02:03already cost Kiev upwards of a billion dollars.
00:02:06Ukrainian businesses are also said to have suffered similar losses in Russia's
00:02:10strikes on military supplies kept in commercial
00:02:14of
00:02:14of warehouses. Lawmakers in Kiev however say there's no money to support the affected
00:02:18firms. As for direct compensation for
00:02:22losses at the expense
00:02:23of the state, not at the expense of insurance, I think everyone
00:02:27of understands the lack of such potential, and if we're talking about. compensation than
00:02:31it should have been provided since 2014. therefore,
00:02:34unfortunately for now, future reparations are the only source of
00:02:38compensation for such losses. the Kiv regime seems to
00:02:42be detached from reality, while it dreams of some kind
00:02:45of reparations from Russia, we've reported
00:02:49for years on the Kiev
00:02:51of regime's blatant killings of civilians whom they saw
00:02:55as subhumans. all that time they were nudged by
00:02:59their... "western curators, do all you can
00:03:03to inflict a so-called strategic defeat against Russia,
00:03:07apart from a targeting Russia's oil
00:03:09of industry and well
00:03:11of achieving a temporary civilian fuel shortage that
00:03:15was quickly rectified by the way, Ukraine decided to
00:03:18attack the warehouses of Russia's online marketplace
00:03:22called uh Wildburies. Well those strikes
00:03:26had nothing to do with the military,
00:03:29the goal was clear.
00:03:35of
00:03:37of
00:03:38of that is a massive amount of money.
00:03:42if you destroy this business, you trigger a disastrous shift of business
00:03:46activity out
00:03:47of the formal tax system. top of that, it's a direct blow to vast
00:03:51number of people who are ostensibly a political, people who are simply earning
00:03:55living and keeping their heads down. they
00:03:57of instantly lose
00:04:01of of everything, they instantly lose. prospects they might have had in a country that's not at war and so on and so forth. well, that had
00:04:05obviously not worked and actually had the opposite effect for
00:04:09Ukraine, not only inside Russia,
00:04:12of but also through Moscow's retaliation strikes against Kief's
00:04:16targets that actually used similar facilities for their
00:04:20military. among the targets of similar businesses in
00:04:24Ukraine, but that were seriously embedded
00:04:28into Ukraine's military machine.
00:04:31a of were marketplaces, including one called Rosetca, now that
00:04:34company's largest distribution center
00:04:37of which processed more than
00:04:40of 100,000 orders per day
00:04:42in was
00:04:43a destroyed, now one of its co-owners estimated the losses at more
00:04:47than 44 million dollars. now we can
00:04:51go on and on about how much the Ukrainian
00:04:54business had lost due to the Kiv regime's
00:04:58decisions to attack Russia. businesses, but
00:05:01those numbers are already well into billions of US
00:05:05dollars and those losses are obviously not
00:05:09going to be reimbursed by Zelensky
00:05:11of and he's clicked. And I've only mentioned just one
00:05:15case here without stating the obvious ones
00:05:18like Ukraine's apostal service called Novia
00:05:22Postta that uh already turned into a
00:05:25franchise the Ukrainian army by
00:05:29storing and transporting goods for the military the Kiev
00:05:33regime and let's not forget the regular
00:05:36strikes against Ukraine's black sea ports
00:05:40infrastructure and vessels used. deliver western
00:05:43supplied weapons to the kiiv regime.
00:05:47usually mining and processing plant in
00:05:49Zelensky's hometown of Krivoy rock had
00:05:53stopped its operations as well as poltava mining and
00:05:57processing plants which is part of a swiss mining company called
00:06:01Fed Expo, and by the way, major global container
00:06:05shipping company, myers can already also
00:06:08discontinued its service through Ukrainian ports and
00:06:11redirected. its cargo to Romania, now once again,
00:06:15while Kiev is trying to inflict a so-called
00:06:19economic damage to Russia by attacking an online
00:06:22marketplace that largely deals with cheap beauty
00:06:26and housing products, it gets a blunt
00:06:30response against all businesses that are
00:06:33associated with its failing military
00:06:35machine. now according to Russia's defense ministry,
00:06:39air defense forces have intercepted and
00:06:43397 Ukrainian UAVs over multiple Russian
00:06:46regions overnight. Earlier Russian forces
00:06:50intercepted the unmanned vessel and that's after officials placed the
00:06:54area on high alert for a possible UAV strike. So
00:06:58far, no casualties were reported, and former Pentagon security
00:07:02analyst Michael Maluf is the view that attacks on
00:07:05civilians have become a part of Kiev's regular government
00:07:09policy. There is no strategic. tactical
00:07:13gain, because number one, there's no military
00:07:16facility in the region, but number two, uh, I
00:07:20think it's meant to strike fear, it's it is definitely a terrorist act, but I
00:07:24also would go one step further and say it's now the policy the
00:07:28government of Ukraine to attack civilians, they've they're
00:07:32basically overt about it, they they haven't come out and
00:07:35admitted to it, but by their example they they have clearly
00:07:39shown that civilians are definitely to be targeted. It's for
00:07:42maximum effect, people are out
00:07:44and in resort areas and uh they're there and you
00:07:48have hundreds if not thousands on the beach sides and so
00:07:52consequently they're fair game, they're defenseless,
00:07:56and this is all the more reason why the Ukrainians
00:08:00are attacking them because they they make easy targets, they don't get shot
00:08:04back. Washington
00:08:07claims the straight of hor moves will soon reopen while Iran is reportedly
00:08:11close to an.
00:08:42extent that it acts we act, where it didn't act, we didn't act,
00:08:46whatever advantage we gained, even the fact that America was able ease the
00:08:50siege, we gave no concessions to America. As for the straight of
00:08:53Hormus, it has always been there, now it was decided that we would only
00:08:57permit passage through it, and even then, strictly according to our own
00:09:00regulations. Shipping through the Choke Point has
00:09:04been on hold for a month, after fresh hostilities between Iran and
00:09:08the US saw most traffic frozen. Iranian state media report:
00:09:12that only eight ships passed the straight this
00:09:15friday. That says Toront is believed to have drafted
00:09:19new plan that would see it control all maritime activity in
00:09:22Hormus. The first details were laid out by Iranian state media,
00:09:26citing a parliament member as the source. This document
00:09:30states that the entry of US and Israeli ships is going to
00:09:34be banned as well as vessels from countries with sanctions on
00:09:37Iran. Violators would be reportedly hit with
00:09:40penalties of up to 20. percent the cargo's value, and for its
00:09:44part, the revolutionary guard would decide on tariffs
00:09:48by providing security for providing security, rather, something that the US
00:09:52vehemently opposes. an Iranian academic told
00:09:56us that relentless American aggression forced toran to take this
00:10:00action. the US is not going to like that, but they have
00:10:04other choice. they can go back to war and they will get
00:10:07hit more. so they need to realize that they're not going
00:10:11to have. the the state of formus used
00:10:15in the manner that they have used it in the past it is a strategic
00:10:19and also Iran has other choice, the United States used
00:10:23a state of almost to attack. Iran, they used a state
00:10:27of hormos to build these bases in the Persian Gulf,
00:10:30it's Iran's right under the UN charter,
00:10:34article 51, to defend itself when Iran is
00:10:38attacked, and under UN conventional law of
00:10:41seas, ships that pass through these states are
00:10:45supposed to do innocent passage, and if you are attacking a
00:10:49country, killing its civilians, killing its
00:10:52leaders, attacking its infrastructure obviously
00:10:56you are not doing anything innocent and Iran is going to
00:11:00exercise that right under international law to make sure
00:11:04that US behaves properly and Iran is not
00:11:07endangered by the United States. Is Israel
00:11:11already looking beyond Iran? Growing opinions in Israeli
00:11:14strategic circles suggest that Turkia could be the next target and
00:11:18the latest episode of going underground here on RT International,
00:11:22option Ratanzi speaks to professor. Ounal to explore how this
00:11:26view is being received in Ankara. The full conversation airs later today,
00:11:30but for now here's a quick preview. Does uh
00:11:34Erdouan realize that Israel has turkia in
00:11:38its sights as the next target after
00:11:41Iran, does does Turkey understand
00:11:44that? Well, I would think it does, um,
00:11:48but on the other hand, um, I would say that Israel
00:11:52is a bit,
00:11:54you know, ' talking a bit too much about you know
00:11:57boasting about this and the other and uh you know the
00:12:01next target is going to be turkey oh
00:12:04certainly trying to punch much higher than
00:12:08their weight you how are you going to basically strike
00:12:11Turkey if you do that then you are going to
00:12:15basically um it is like poking into
00:12:19the into the beast
00:12:23nest basically a... which is already very, very
00:12:26volatile, that's what we said about Iran beforehand, when no
00:12:30one thought they were going to do this, yep, yep, yep, and particularly
00:12:34after basically Iran gave them a bloody
00:12:37nose, I mean talking in such
00:12:41a childish way, saying that Turkey is going to be the
00:12:45next target, and okay,
00:12:47you know the Turkish institutions, the military, the intelligence
00:12:51and all the other related institutions basically do their
00:12:55job, but politically you don't take them seriously, would
00:12:59you?
00:13:04heads are rolling among Israeli spy chiefs, media is reporting that the
00:13:08heads of masad's intelligence directorate and Iran division have
00:13:12been fired for failing to bring about regime change in the Persian
00:13:15nation. We revealed that Msad Head Roman
00:13:19Goffman decided to remove two very senior officials from the
00:13:23organization's ranks. These are the officials who conceived
00:13:26and wrote down the plan for regime change. These two, whose contributions to the
00:13:30country's security are invaluable, are going home. Goffman
00:13:34believes that they should pay the price for the failure the plan that was brokered to
00:13:38President Trump and was not implemented on the ground in
00:13:41practice. Israeli intelligence reportedly
00:13:45proposed a plan to Washington involving a ground invasion by
00:13:48US backed Kurdish forces, which would be coordinated by
00:13:52Masad and the CIA. The operation. called for massive
00:13:56air cover by the allies and Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah
00:14:00Khameini was killed in an air strike at the beginning the joint
00:14:03US-Israeli war. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu
00:14:07justified the assassination as necessary to eliminate the
00:14:11threat posed by nuclear armed tiran, urging
00:14:15Iranians to support regime change and overthrow their
00:14:18clerical
00:14:19leadership. The former
00:14:23head the Massad's covert. MIA operations told us that any
00:14:27regime chain effort, regime change effort in Iran was doomed to
00:14:30fail despite firm backing from
00:14:33Washington, the Americans and the Israelis
00:14:37believe that the riots in January
00:14:41were were intensive enough
00:14:44to make one believe that once a war
00:14:48against the regime, and once this regime is weakened, the
00:14:52crowds in Iran that seek a different Iran and they do seek
00:14:56different Iran would rise to the task and would change the
00:14:59regime, this was misunderstanding the people in
00:15:03Iran, and at the end the day we find ourselves
00:15:07a conflict that has no real objective, did not come up with
00:15:11anything, except maybe political gains for
00:15:15Donald Trump and political gains for
00:15:18Benjam, the cooperation
00:15:22between Washington and Jerusalem is... tight on
00:15:26the operational level, the armies work together, the
00:15:29military is joint military that operated in Iran, you have to
00:15:33understand this, it wasn't two armies were working in Iran.
00:15:37It was two armies that were working in Iran a joint venture
00:15:41where American generals set in Israeli command
00:15:45and Israeli general said on the American command and the
00:15:49aeroplanes were flying out of Tel Aviv and flying
00:15:53out of American bases so at the end
00:15:56the day it was a joint complete
00:16:00cooperation that was coordinated to the
00:16:03last to the last element now
00:16:07less it was not a successful operation, if you have
00:16:11asked me in advance, I would have said that they had no chance of
00:16:15succeeding, it is true that Netanyahu will try to divert the
00:16:18attention from the failure of this plan
00:16:21vis how it reflects on him, and
00:16:25he has been trying to do this with the military, been trying to do, this is
00:16:28internal
00:16:29politics. Conservative
00:16:33journalist Tucker Carlson has unveiled a 10-p vision for the future.
00:16:37of America, he aims to break away from the traditional US two-party
00:16:41system and forge a third political path. Tucker's manifesto
00:16:45focuses heavily on domestic matters, ranging from public health
00:16:49and urban planning to procreation and education.
00:16:53Meanwhile, his foreign policy outlook dictates that the US should
00:16:56strictly clear, steer clear of foreign interventions and
00:17:00avoid unnecessary wars. He placed a particular
00:17:03emphasis on distancing the country from both military and
00:17:07financial involvement with Israel, ultimately Carlson's questioning why
00:17:11America's two-party uh system
00:17:14push, it's rather two, it's two opposing parties
00:17:18push exactly the same agenda. Trump initiates the one thing
00:17:22he said he'd never do, regime change war in the middle east against Iran, a country
00:17:25much bigger and more powerful than the last regime change we attempted, which didn't
00:17:29work, and there were no protests against it, because
00:17:33of course the leaders the other party, his opposed enemies agreed with him
00:17:36completely. as they did with his budget fundamentally, certainly with the
00:17:40tax code that he endorsed, and that tells us what? one thing at
00:17:44least that on the issues that really
00:17:46matter, the most obvious
00:17:49and historically significant expressions the exertion of power,
00:17:53which would be foreign policy and the budget, tax
00:17:56code, the parties are aligned, they're the same, they have the same agenda,
00:18:00exactly the same agenda, and they go through this whole song and dance to convince us, no,
00:18:04we're really blood enemies, but are they really? no, they're not. and once
00:18:07again just to restate the obvious cuz you can't state the obvious
00:18:10enough, if
00:18:13Trump's opponents really
00:18:16opposed what he was doing, well then we would have people in the streets
00:18:20famously, and the party whose whole
00:18:23self-understanding is people taking to the streets and marching for this
00:18:27that or the other thing, especially peace, would be marching
00:18:31for peace and against this war, but they're not, and why aren't they? because they're
00:18:35not against it, that's why. not to complain about it, but just
00:18:39to sort of set the predicate for for the next stage
00:18:43in our lives as American citizens, we know that the
00:18:47parties are aligned on the issues that matter
00:18:50against the population. now how do we know it's against the population because we have public opinion
00:18:54polling, and it may not be precisely right, but over time we get a
00:18:58pretty clear picture of people's priorities, and the
00:19:01big things that the US government, endorsed by both parties are doing, which is
00:19:05spying on you more, moving ever growing share
00:19:09of gross domestic product to a smaller percentage the
00:19:13population, invading countries, spending $1.5 trillion dollar a year a
00:19:17military, they can't win a war, etc., etc., etc., all things that they're doing, the big
00:19:20things. population doesn't want those
00:19:21things. now, prior to sharing his goal
00:19:25for America, Tucker Carlson fueled the political fire storm by
00:19:29hosting maga breakaways at his estate. among them were
00:19:33major Majory Taylor Green, Thomas Massy, and former Counter.
00:19:37terrorism chief Joe Kent, all them recently had falling
00:19:41out with Trump, claiming that the president had compromised the America
00:19:45first doctrine. We also asked
00:19:49panel of guests what it would take to create genuine multi-party system
00:19:53in the United States. Look to find to
00:19:56found an actual third party, it takes lots of money,
00:20:00because the two main parties, the Republicans and Democrats were virtually
00:20:04identical in many, many ways. The one thing they do agree on, uh more
00:20:08than all is to collude to prevent anyone uh on the
00:20:11ballot who will threaten them who threaten their supremacy, so it takes a lot of
00:20:15money, it takes a lot of work, getting on balance is extremely
00:20:18difficult. uh, yes, of course, money is resource, but the ultimate resource
00:20:22is needed is people's willingness, are people willing to
00:20:26actually put in the work that goes beyond the money, and I think
00:20:30with people being fed up and the energy being there, it's completely
00:20:33possible to start something completely new and independent that can...
00:20:37takeoff
00:20:38the two party system historically in in US electoral politics has been
00:20:41rigged uh we have a 50 state 50 the 50 states
00:20:45divise their own election rules uh and ballot access
00:20:49and signatures required, also there is the financial
00:20:53considerations that Daniel was mentioning earlier, so it requires money, it
00:20:56requires uh institutions and structures and you have to reach certain
00:21:00thresholds that are not aligned across the entire US. well Jose, of
00:21:03those who have made some sort of impact in the past,
00:21:07those as as we've heard there, that core ideology of third party
00:21:11candidates, do they really diverge from the existing
00:21:15platforms the republican and democratic
00:21:18parties? Uh, well, yes, actually, and I think
00:21:22a lot of
00:21:22it is because you see it with the insurgent democrats that are
00:21:26coming into power now, you know, there are many criticisms you can make
00:21:30them, but what they are seen as is insurgent force that is coming
00:21:34in and overtaking the democratic party,
00:21:37and uh, what are they saying, they're saying medicare for all, they're saying no
00:21:41money for Israel, um, and they are calling out democratic
00:21:45leadership, but that is the kind of energy that people want to see right
00:21:49now coming. out of both the Democratic Party and the
00:21:52Republican Party, and I think what's going to be pivotal in getting a
00:21:56third party elected is a third force, which means that you'll
00:22:00have individuals who will run in the Republican parties, in the Democratic
00:22:04parties, but ultimately are committed to an idea of independence and
00:22:08away from the power structures that exist now. I think Jose makes a great
00:22:12point, which is we're thinking in terms of a political
00:22:15party, new political party, whereas it might actually be a
00:22:19politic. faction or voluntary a set of set
00:22:23of positions that candidates may take in run in the other
00:22:27two parties, and I think the DSA is doing that with the Democratic Party right
00:22:31now and doing a phenomenal job, the their success I think is
00:22:35evidenced by the fact that they're being called every name in the book, every terrible
00:22:39thing in the book, so I think they're certainly within the Republican Party
00:22:42uh, but the devils in the details, if you agree on the broad strokes then you've
00:22:46got a lot to work with, and I think that populism is the name of... game at this point
00:22:50we see populist and insurgent candidates and political
00:22:54movements all throughout the world, especially uh in the west,
00:22:58because we've seen the failure of politicians and of politics
00:23:01as as has been done over the past decades. i think tucker
00:23:05as as our good friend George Galloway says, is a is very
00:23:09viable candidate, so I think absolutely he could be a unifying figure, and I think that he
00:23:13could achieve sizeable results an election
00:23:16campaign. tariffs are back.
00:23:20Donald Trump has announced a 15% levy on the import of
00:23:23polysilicons used in the production of semiconductors
00:23:27and solar panels. It's seen as a measure to counter China which
00:23:31holds a near monopoly on the raw material.
00:23:35The secretary recommended the establishment of minimum import prices
00:23:38(MIP) for polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives, to create
00:23:42a protected domestic market that allows United States producers to compete
00:23:46free from global distortions. I determine that it is necessary. and
00:23:50appropriate to impose a 15% advalorum rate of duty on imports
00:23:54of polysilicon derivatives so that such imports will not threaten to
00:23:58impair the national security the United
00:24:00States. The US imports massive amounts of
00:24:04polysilicon derivatives from four Southeast Asian nations,
00:24:08that's Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia. And
00:24:12those countries are where China primarily has subsidiaries and
00:24:15manufacturing facilities as well. The
00:24:19American. President repeatedly cites national security is the reason for his
00:24:23decision, but right now the US has only two domestic producers
00:24:27of polycylicon, one them being a German company. Analysts
00:24:31worry that these businesses are incapable of satisfying domestic
00:24:34demand. For too long we be dependent on outside
00:24:38sources and it's we really should have been happened
00:24:42yesterday, but we need to be able to manufacture
00:24:45within our own country or the United States needs to
00:24:48manufacture for United States. production of lot of things, we've been too
00:24:52dependent on having the almighty dollar to buy us anything everywhere
00:24:56all the time, and that just isn't true, if you can't source your own
00:24:59materials, you are vulnerable, and this these vulnerabilities keep
00:25:03coming up in different areas, this being the latest. this says the tariff
00:25:07combined with minimum price system is intended to create protected markets for
00:25:11american producers, what producers? it's almost a ruse in my
00:25:15opinion that this is a way to cojo the markets, but i
00:25:18wouldn't be surprised.
00:25:50hurts the consumer,
00:25:51it doesn't
00:25:52really hurt the importer, although it's it's sold that way,
00:25:56it's not really true.
00:26:00the french embass in the republic the suffering a bad case of
00:26:03foot in mouth after posting satirical video that sparked public
00:26:07outrage and allegations of
00:26:09racism.
00:26:19oui, monsieur le consul, on dit que maintenant la France
00:26:23refuse tous les visas. oh, c'est pas vrai, vous avez plus de de
00:26:278000 étudiants congolais en france, hein? 8000
00:26:30étudiants? oui mais? cela il faut faut un bon profil et surtout un bon
00:26:34dossier, la france aime les gens authentiques, pas besoin d'en jouter une vie, il faut
00:26:38être sincère dans dans son projet, dans ses études, dans ses
00:26:42ressources, ah ouais, donc je veux devoir repartir sur le bon
00:26:46l'école, continue pour avoir des
00:26:48bonnes, the Brazoville
00:26:52embassy was making a light-hearted attempt to explain the french visa
00:26:55process, but it did fall flat. the foreign ministry had swooped
00:26:59in, demanded the video be deleted after critice. went
00:27:03viral and that which condemned the ad for pushing stereotypes
00:27:07about Congole's applicants. The the visa issue is a constant
00:27:10source of friction between Paris and African states, and this isn't
00:27:14France's first diplomatic misstep this year either. President
00:27:18Macron interrupted his Africa Forward summit in May to tell the
00:27:21audience of mainly Africans to be quiet.
00:27:25Ready, you're not waiting your turn. I will
00:27:29make order. Excuse me.
00:27:32everybody, hey, hey,
00:27:35hey, I'm sorry
00:27:37guys, but it's impossible to
00:27:41speak about culture, to have people like that, super
00:27:45inspired, coming here, making a speech with such
00:27:48noise,
00:27:54so this is total lack of respect, so I
00:27:57suggest if you want to have bilaterals or speak about somebody
00:28:01else, some... mean something else, you have bilateral rooms
00:28:05or you go outside, if you want to stay here, we
00:28:09listen to the people, and we're playing the same game.
00:28:12okay, thank you. earlier, my
00:28:15colleague
00:28:16andil spoke with African Freedom's president, professor Franklin
00:28:19nyamsi. he says that the deleted video is
00:28:23a proof that France still views Africans as
00:28:26inferior. the message the
00:28:29French embassy is message of cont
00:28:34condescention and arrogance. French
00:28:37authorities forget that
00:28:39there was a time when Brazaville was proclaimed the
00:28:42capital of free france by Charles. It is racist
00:28:46negative portrayal that reflects the fact that the French
00:28:50government has not moved beyond the mindset the
00:28:54code noirs dating back to
00:28:571685. The message is clearly negative
00:29:01one is to to tell. to African people, not only to
00:29:04Kongolese, that France is not opening its hands for them,
00:29:08because the French political elite considers
00:29:12africans like inferior beings. President Macron's
00:29:15comments that we just ran earlier, does that back up that view
00:29:19as well, because you know, I remember looking at it at the
00:29:23time and just thinking, this is a misstep, he may
00:29:27regret that, but I don't think he does, I think Macron is just of that
00:29:30mindset that, I'm I'm lecturing these people, they need to
00:29:34listen to me. For President Macron, doing so in Kenya in
00:29:38Nairobi is very natural, in fact it is the small milk of
00:29:42his childhold that he was sharing there. It is not
00:29:46believable for President Macron to do the same thing in
00:29:50France or everywhere anywhere in the west, in Europe and so
00:29:53on. This is the defeat of the political
00:29:57capacity of France to adapt to the reality the world. In
00:30:01Africa, many people have... forgetting this is
00:30:04the first house of humanity, how dare you, how dare you
00:30:08be condescending with the continent where all our humanity comes from,
00:30:12there is a complete and total condemnation the french policy in
00:30:16Africa, not only in Congo, everywhere, France is
00:30:20rejected today because of this condescending racist,
00:30:24negative portrayal of Africans, it
00:30:26has. That's all for this hour, but make sure to stay
00:30:30with us. We're going to be back with more news here
00:30:32on our. International in just about half an
00:30:34hour.
