the, the, the haitian prime minister resigns and in wide spread of gang violence, washington pledges to help the island nation despite playing a role in causing it's current crisis. in the 1st place, the, the us and europe, the military build up at the weapons and ports, double armed exports from france continued a time. and a whistle blower who raised concerns over the safety of boeing. airplanes has been found dead today after testifying in a major lawsuit against the company the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you are watching r t international. the prime minister of haiti has announced his resignation in mid
5:01 pm
rampant gang violence gripping the caribbean country. our real henri, who's currently in the us territory of puerto rico, says he will de facto remain in office until a new government is formed. one of these yeah. after the council of ministers tonight accepted to put into place a transitional presidential council, the members of the council will be picked after agreement with different sectors of the national life. the government i am running will remove itself immediately after the stablish ment upsets council. they heard that he wants to stay in position until the interim council is set up. this is an interim council that would be comprised of a run staff members. and that would then lead the country into the next elections. haiti hasn't had elections since 2016. so they, you've seen, has been pretty crucial at this point. we've also heard mean, well from the u. s. department,
5:02 pm
more money that it wants to play in the country. this is to create a multi national security force given this increasingly urgent need. i'm announcing today that the united states department of defense is doubling its approve support for the mission from a $100000000.00 to $200000000.00. and that brings the total us support to $300000000.00 for this effort. i am also renouncing additional humanitarian assistance for the people of $8033000000.00 to further support their health and food security. well, the announcement is unlikely to go down very well with many haitians who once again, possibly feel that being held hostage by the international community interfering in the internal affairs of the country. haiti is a form of french colony than the u. s. and they did it was that for about 20 years in the early 20th century, and it's been a huge f as in so potentially being the power behind the politicians in the country
5:03 pm
wielding its influence. just to give you an example of that, we see leaks, memos looked back in 2008, 2009 at the us state department at intervened and stopped there being an increase in minimum wage and hate and minimum wage that many people desperately needed at the time, just to give you another sense we've got over here, i'm over here who's saying he's stepping down. the us accused of essentially putting him in power. he was elected. when the former president of the country was short, he had been appointed prime minister a few days before, but there were others who felt that they were suited because they had been elected to be the president of hate. one included the senate president who was told by the us that c should step down and allow on re, to takeover. and it wasn't just the us. it was all the western powers. you were paying countries like fox and germany who also urging haiti's to accept somebody. i've said the death who had not been elected. let's just take a look now, nicky,
5:04 pm
at some of the other way use the us in particular, has influenced and intervened in hatred. history the the
5:05 pm
hey, is that still missing? isn't it? when you look back and coming back to the situation in haiti at the moment, what exactly the locals saying about the old way, you'd expect that they would be happy if there is less violence. as a result of this transitional government coming into place, the head of hopefully elections. but we have already heard from one of haiti's. main. gang bull says, this is jimmy the fall, but you it shows. yeah. who has said that once again, she's unhappy. she says the international community is continuing to essentially a new interest in hate and she says, if it continues down this current quote, then it will plunge the country into even move chaos. and he is saying that it should be only patients who decide who runs and what type of governments there is in the country. and that seems to be echoed by people in the crime too. when we talk about caring home, have they even done anything for haiti?
5:06 pm
all haitians need to work together to see if we can save the country. those countries always go to haiti in a situation where we end up finding each other are going to your competitor. com cannot do anything for us. it is like when you run from the rain and end up falling in the mud, the only thing i can say is that aerial henry is out forever. he cannot do anything for us anymore. what you're hearing, that is people saying, look, we want to control our own country. we want to control our own destiny. essentially, haitians of fed up with being treated by as if they're a colony of another country. whether that is fonts with about the us or anyone else, they would like to the salt lake that the feature to against the backdrop of the escalating violence in haiti and verified video has emerged. and this circulating on social media of a haitian gang leader, allegedly engaging in cannibalism. jimmy shows they're also known as barbecue heads . the gang being associated with the video. he has an, a tory is for his power in haiti. and his report of the behind the recent violent
5:07 pm
prison break in an attempt to overthrow prime minister real henri, who has resigned. the video, has not been independently verified. the reports suggest the footages 2 years old and not connected to the gang later. and the current unrest, journalist and cohen called the claims against shows the air massive this information campaign to discredit him. why are we seeing a sudden this information campaign for training jimmy barbecue shows the a, as a cannibal. sure was the air is trying to turn heavy into a productive and prosperous country that benefits the whole population. the complete opposite of the disturb you, that us imperialism has created. we discussed to this gruesome story with daniel shaw, a latin american and caribbean studies expert who says the west, stereotypes, haitians and pushes a negative narrative. this contributes to the stigma is the racist stereotypes that has been pushed by the west for so long. we never hear about 80 in the west unless
5:08 pm
it has to do with a cool disease or some type of chaos. but what the united states media apparatus has never informed us is the us that has invaded and occupied haiti for a greater part of the 20th century. jimmy, sure, easier. used the top dog. some call him a gang boss, some call him a wall lloyd. overwhelmingly. what i've heard from thousands of ations is that they do not trust jimmy barbecue she res year. but i also think that the media treatment assures year has, is not been balanced. um, there are other again, leaders, paramilitary, mercenary leaders who have proven to be much more violent. a sinister issue is here . so i think the truth is probably much more dialectical in the middle somewhere. europe is arming itself as a weapons in parts,
5:09 pm
nearly double with french and us exports. continuing to rise, serbian president alexander, which it says, europe's course is one of militarization. what is happening now is madness. they all thought the booting would be easily defeated. now they see that this is not so the current trend is toward total militarization and a 5 fold build up in all respects, firms, president a measure in my call said that western troops and ukraine could not be excluded. he also said that he wanted to maintain strategic ambiguity, also known as bossing, which only actually works if you don't announce right after the boss that you could be bluffing. but apparently a menu in the back hole treating the international stage like a local community feed or production and cause playing geneva. their goal was enough to inspire a bunch of other european officials to take the safety officer own miles and fire
5:10 pm
off some belligerent rhetoric of their own. sonya is the soldiers of nato countries are already in ukraine. and i would like to think the ambassadors of those countries that took such a risk, they know who they are, they are replacing. the president did not say that the russians would advance towards odessa of ok of the way i see it. he's preparing public opinion for firms to intervene in this conflict by telling us. and if the from to moves towards odessa or key of what we're going to do, there should be no limits to our intervention. this is how he presents things, but we should not play on the fear of the french. the time of peace is over. the post war era is over. we live in new times in the pre war era. for some of our brothers, this is no longer even the pre will era, but the period of full scale war and it's most cruel version. we cannot continue to feast on illusions. no one will take away all responsibility for fighting for our security and our future. we ourselves of the best guarantor about security and the
5:11 pm
unity. we need to turbocharged our defense industrial capacity in the next 5 years . and at the heart of this must be one simple principle. europe must spend more, you must spend better, and europe must spend europe in europe should strive to develop and manufacture the next generation of battle winning operational capabilities. so what do you do when you devastated 0 normal economy for you frames and have nothing to show for us? all you announce that you now sell so that defy as a war time country, and attempt to scare up some cash from your tax payers for the transition. sure, work for zalinski. we need to change the paradigm and moving toward economy mode. this also means that the european defense industry must take more risks with our support. so now what we're seeing is european countries wrapping up defense spending. well, at the same time, say that they don't really have any cash,
5:12 pm
just bear for things like social programs or to sufficiently compensate their own farmers for being screwed over by the use free trade policy favoring ukraine's farming industry over europe's own. don't like it. well then, do you really want russian president vladimir putin rolling right up to a left bank freezing cafe in a battle tank because they're talking like that's exactly where he's literally going to be ordering. walked off from the mid day menu. if the european tax stairs don't start wrapping their heads around, the idea that making weapons is now suddenly europe's big priority. so how's that cell job working on the tax stairs? well, 76 percent of french citizens are against french troops fighting russia and ukraine . that's according to a pull from just a few days ago. within the 50 to 64 year age group. that number was markedly higher at 85 percent against. it's all like,
5:13 pm
even the french establishment is all in lock step on this either from a french prime minister, dominique de paul, who warren washington about the risks of invading a rock 20 years ago. sounds like he's giving a dad lecture. you said you will play out of it would have 1st been necessary for us to be able to answer 5 questions. 5 risks associated with this escalation. i think that would be taking this step. so if we were to send troops and fighters by for essex, while some officials are sounding right now, like they're hosting a telephone for the european military industrial complex, others, the spin off opportunities for all this war talks in other industries like bunker construction. there was an urgent need to put the commission to bunker's back into operation, and we need to build a new modern shelters in urban centers. underground car, parks, and subway shafts can certainly be used. we are currently seeing this in key of where people are seeking refuge from russian missiles. we also need to plan for
5:14 pm
such a scenario in germany, not a bad time to resurrect the bunker industry. actually, with energy costs and interest rates becoming a problem for europeans, maybe everyone can just save some money and, and crowded, move into government funded bunkers and hang out while waiting for food. the pope's appeal to ukraine to negotiate a peace settlement with russia has met fierce backlash with the head of nato, rejecting the call saying increased military support for camp is the only way to end the conflict and find out more about what moscow and camp's responses the co, cope's comments were, as well as plenty more opinions and analysis on our website, r t dot com. the a sanctions have rains down on russia, but the block is now finding the strategy has been in effective the european problem. it has given the go ahead to criminalize anyone who might help bypass how
5:15 pm
moscow bypass thing. sions. the new law sets consistent definitions for violations, including no freezing funds. note respecting travel bonds with arms and ball goes, transferring funds to pass and subject to sanctions will do business with states and entities of countries on the sanction. providing financial services or legal advisory services in violation of sanctions will see become a punishable offense. the problem is new directive to criminal a, criminalize, the violation and circumvention of a you sanctions will make it easier for a member states to jail people and find these businesses. in other words, if you're providing financial services, legal advice, or disregarding travel bands, you could land up in jail in the courts will be forced to actually send since individuals to a prison term of up to 5 years or continued to push this waste of fines. for violating and trying to get around the sanctions. now the new law still has to be
5:16 pm
approved by the council. and now as a reminder, this comes just after brussels date on build the 13th package of sanctions against russia last month ahead of the 2nd anniversary of the ukraine conflict. and these new sanctions are also aimed at restricting freight and packing electronic sectors . they say could be used by russians military to get ahead at the war. now this hasn't been just about russia, as i mentioned, this has recently targeted companies based in china. it was becca, stand the u, a e in india that are allegedly involved in also circumventing. this has been just n less than the russian of foreign ministry spokeswoman did have to laughed this off while the german military is planning to bomb the crime in bridge public sort in germany is seriously concerned that tons of sanctions have failed to not only break but even shake the russian economy expired economies. benjamin bid discusses
5:17 pm
this in the new issue of spiegel. let me remind you that it was the 10th year of russia's economy being torn to shreds as brock obama put it. so feel are given the abundance of sanctions that have been heaped on russia. can you remind us of the economic situation today in russia, while the economic situation actually is growing the economy is doing pretty well and against all odds, it seems that this has been to no avail, righteous economy has continued to overcome these hardships. now, the economists, the outlook, the economists wrote an editorial on sunday saying that moscow has repeatedly defied the du sayers that's despite the, the attempts by the united states and nato and their allies to try to attack russia from all. and then there also is a huge thing going on right now with a hung jury and foreign minister who just met in budapest with the general director of russ adam. and basically they are focused on working closely on the new reactors
5:18 pm
for hunger is packed to nuclear power plant, saying that the 1st a concrete will actually be poured on before the end of 2024. let's have a listen, because i want you to solve the european and global energy crises of the past period have clearly shown that countries that can produce the energy they need themselves are safe. therefore, in order to increase henry's energy security, it needs to increase its own energy production capacity. we are proud that a truly large international project is being implemented in pucks. because in addition to the russian general contract or shock, the chain of sub contractors includes french, austrian, swedish, and american companies. in addition to the german company, engaged in soil consolidation levels come part us. it also proves that home state corporation. that's what was this project has a special significance. that was there was always a special attitude here. the project contains a number of challenges. but as you know, we are influenced here by the regulation of not only hun, gary, and, but also european legislation. we have our own commitments in particular that this
5:19 pm
project should be international because these we always fulfill our obligations. but i just find the all the difficulties. the package project is, is a pleasure. we say you're looking at agriculture or nuclear economic. it seems like russia is just right ahead. meanwhile, the europe itself is actually crippling under this tanking economy. and we're seeing that in germany. people are having to pay significantly higher for electricity for energy, for gas, as we've seen the protests by the farmers. and this seems to be getting worse and worse. so again, russia is not only succeeding economically, they're also succeeding on the battlefield. so this can be a way to actually do as much as they can and acts of desperation. a farmer blowing employee who blew the west, so about safety concerns over the companies. airplanes has been found dead. john barnett are part of a died of a self inflicted wounds just days after giving testimony and a major lawsuit against the company. r t correspondent donald the quarter gave us
5:20 pm
details of the case earlier. the circumstances surrounding the death of his whistle blower, john barnett, are quite strain. she was found dead in his truck just shortly after. he was supposed to attend an important interview connected to the law suit, he filed against the boeing company. the coroner said that he died as a result of a self inflicted wounds. even though in days prior, he was actively collecting evidence to bring to the court. because according to barnett, the boeing company has been pressuring its workers into integrating a defective parts into its aircraft. let's take a list. the l. as in charles, pushing back dfcs to our suppliers and what that amount was, i'd say to group of inspectors and actually go to the supplier and inspector product before they sent it in. well, i'd taken it same before inspectors. spirit arrows systems to inspect the $41.00 section before they sent it's charles and we found $300.00 defects. some of them were significant that needed engineering intervention. when i return to charleston,
5:21 pm
my senior managers only weird found so many defects and he was gonna take the next trip southern extra or you went on, it's up to them. i inspectors. and when they got back, they were given accolades, the only one in 50 dfcs. so hold the specter side, that's a despair really clean up director squared. don't sound right. she was mad. she said, no, said the 2 inspectors were given 2 hours to inspect the whole $41.00 section. they were kicked out there. and that's all comes after a number of recent dangerous technical failures associated with boeing planes on sunday. 50 people were injured during a mid flight technical emergency aboard a boeing triple 7 headed to brazil, a friday saw a boeing 737 max, a plane run right off the runway in houston, texas. and on monday dozens of people were injured. as a result of an accident on another, boeing $737.00 plane again,
5:22 pm
due to technical problems. and this is just to name a few of many actual technical emergencies that happened to associating associated with boeing plains. just last week. there were others connected to tyre falling off the plane and engine caught on fire and even a failure of the planes control system. and it's even lead at least one travel a search engine, kayak, to start helping it's users avoid boeing. planes altogether. call. yeah. makes it easy for consent travelers to avoid a 737 max flights. we've increased the problem ends of the max still to on sites airlines, the open substitute equipment. so travelers should double check before departure on top of that, the new york times recently published an article showing that boeing's 737 max plane had failed. the 33 audits conducted by the federal aviation administration. apparently, there were dozens of problems with the production process, but this isn't actually the 1st time that boeing's production line has received
5:23 pm
negative attention. back in 2014 al jazeera, conducted its own independent investigation into the matter, and it found that work, or is that boeing's production plants have serious concerns about the safety of these planes. the 15 work is almost randomly. 10 said they would not slide on the dreamliner, the 1st part, boeing denies, any wrong doing, but with this mountain of problems associated with its aircraft and the untimely death of this key. what's the blower? there's no doubt the boeing company has a lot of explaining to do. my colleague, nicky, aaron discussed the controversy surrounding boeing earlier with 0. the luxury and aviation expert in the 2 political analysts just says the claims are not baseless.
5:24 pm
it is true that there are a lot of which lowers in deviation industry, which is drowned, is that john barnett was going through the 3rd days of his edition on the new one program, which is the american program. but it's supposed to cover the american whistle blowers on the, on the heavier sion industry in the us. now, it's not the secret that full manufacturers. they have problems that the problem is that we hear too much about the boeing's actually the 737, macs will be problem still have flows. it's due for them to fly in russian federation for example. and if you listen to the news, you can hear about it almost every weeks. the 787, it's all sort of same thing. and it's been brought to lights. it's been brought to daylights also. but in boeing factory, the manufacturer, they have a process of the stuff,
5:25 pm
not that i'm not done correctly. and they just covered some flows in the design of the problem by itself that would require a lot of maintenance and correction system. so it's, it's linked dose of the money because any ition is money and if you have to run the complete seat of one model to restore the system and correct the flows, then the l. and i'm not going to be able to use them. so for boeing and in regard to the competition between boeing and albus, it's a, it's a huge, huge problem. so when it comes to the accusations being made by a boeing isn't even age ation, experts do using that highly likely to be legitimate. yes, it is legitimate, of course it is legitimate making mistakes. it's not on the boeing. i mean, we hear about boeing because actually gets boeing. but at this we have some problems. also, we haven't been able to recover some uh for those problems. boeing is promptly, it's much more complicated. let me the boeing 7 threes and the max is one that
5:26 pm
comes up by law, isn't it? when it comes to complaints and criticisms? and a lot of, and we, we know whistle blowers coming forward with stories. now a lot of people might be reading these stories and say, well, i'm not going to use that particular model of play. do you think that i'm just having these stories out that will have an impact on the reputation of buying could be at least a as a pilot myself, i'm sorry to say this, but i as a paid up myself, i don't fly on the max. i don't want to say that's enough to make me the thing. so, i mean if, if it, to be very honest, yes, if i can avoid, of course he prayed in forces, attempted to cross the russian border and the curse skin to belgrade a boarder regence. that's according to the russian defense ministry, which said the attack was boarded and resulted in new trained losing 7 tanks and more than 200 troops. rolling it up so that that's around 3 am off to the intense
5:27 pm
shilling of civilian targets. ukrainian terrace groups supported by tank sonoma calls trying to enter russian territory from free directions around the settlements . important road both come and talk of region, a nickel till you have current spelled areas she know in the bell road region. thanks to the coverage of russian troops with tax by ukrainian terrace groups, helping facilitate the enemy was hit by a vision miss o pots hillary and heavy flame throw systems, ukrainian minutes and suffered heavy losses. according to the russian defense ministry, as the russian border was not infiltrated beyond that point. now also on tuesday morning at least the 4 ukrainian attacks were repelled in the cursed region. according to these defense ministry, the craniums were once again forced to retreat, suffering heavy losses and equipments and manpower. russia use aviation, artillery and missile forces to protect the countries borders flushing. federal secures the service also reported that ukrainian sabbath tours quite to infiltrate
5:28 pm
belgrade and cursed regions since sunday. the situation of this week was a reminiscence of what happens last year when you cranium. terrorist groups were able to kill civilians in bronze and in the grid regions, but it looks like the situation on the border there is under complete control and is now impossible to penetrate it on the ground. meanwhile, in belgrade, an enemy droll and crashed into the city administration building according to the local governor. as the results of the explosion, windows were shattered in the administration building, and the facade was cut off as well. emergency services are on the same price. one is just in a man who shot 2 people into 18 of those hostage at a bus station in the brazilian city of rio de janeiro has surrendered to local authorities bazillion media. so the incident occurred after the perpetrator failed
5:29 pm
to rob some one fitted shows. people and military uniforms evacuating a major bus station well terrified passengers ran from the same shooter, reportedly barricaded himself in the bus, terminals, car park, and health, 18 people. hostage. all of the hospitals have been freed in place. are investigating the incident that way. i was wondering if it was pretty clear when you those dropoff. all right, just stay with us up. next ortiz exclusive interview with the head of the don't ask the people's republic about the election in russia's new regions and the major reconstruction work there. by the, the nice, what do you know they should do these 2 lots, which is your think what mr. per sheila, in 2024 is a highly significant year for all the residents of don bass and the genetic peoples
5:30 pm
republic. this is the year of the liberation of our occupied territories and the elections. of course, there is still a lot to be done this year and we will try to talk about with all of this in today . and i will probably start with the vote. the 1st and russian presidential election and history for all the networks it is. it is probably difficult to underestimate the importance of these elections for every network citizen. i'd like to hear your take on how the people of the national deal about these elections look, but it's such a kind of data motion will get to deal with. i mean, you can only imagine it had been a dream for a very long period with no concrete prospect, suicide, but chance to return home. i see i to attend to russia the, to become part of russia. again, switching and now it has come true. but of course, the elections with 1st presidential elections in our lives, some of them that are important not only from a practical point of view, much someone but also.
