Im fiorella is about, and youre watching ortiz top news stories of this. Our the United States economy has now met the conditions of recession. Thats according to the latest statistical data, which shows the country gdp declining for a 2nd consecutive quarter. But the white house is in no rush to accept the economic downturn. Most economists and most americans have a similar definition of recession, substantial job losses and mass layoffs. Businesses shutting down private sector activities, slowing considerably. Family budgets under immense strain in some, a broad based weakening of our economy. That is not what were seeing right now. When you look at the economy. The u. S. Economy shrank once again in the past 3 months unofficially, signaling the start of a recession. I mean, thats simply how people define recession. If you look at the data, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States shrank. And an annualized rate of point 9 percent in the past 3 months, after having decreased by an annualized rate of 1. 6 percent in the previous court, thats 2 consecutive quarters of decreasing gdp in the United States. That move that United States, the World Largest economy as entered a recession. However, high officials in the United States are reassuring us. That is not the case. Heres what they said. That doesnt sound Like Research should. I dont, i do not think the u. S. Is currently in a recession, even if that number is negative, were not in a recession. Now, i wont say that the textbook definition of recession is not, is not too negative quarters of g d p. The bike administration is reassuring us that everything is fine. As you heard the secretary of the treasury, janet yelena, she is saying that this isnt a recession, this is quote, a transition in which rose is slowing. A transition in which road is slowing. She says, not a recession. Now this is a similar thing in response to the issue of inflation. Inflation in United States is that a 40 year high and weve been reassured by us officials. This is simply a matter of transition. However, the inflation has continued. It has continued to be an issue, its not simply a temporary issue of transition, its continuing to go on. Now at this point in response to this issue, inflation, we have the Biden Administration spending billions of dollars with a law that they call the Inflation Reduction Act. Of 2022. This is how americans responded to this bill. Democrats just unveiled the Inflation Reduction Act. Someone please tell dems that tanking the economy with tax hikes and bad policy is a crappy way to tackle inflation. Only the government could propose a bill to increase spending and call it the Inflation Reduction Act. Remember, they always name the bills, the opposite of what they actually mean in any other business, this would constitute fraud and false advertising. So to combat inflation, the government is about to approve 750000000000. 00 in new spending and calling it the Inflation Reduction Act. Spoiler alert, democrats, new spending bill that theyre calling the Inflation Reduction Act will only increase inflation. Now they saw a prices for just about everything are squeezing americas working families, as theyre struggling to pay their bills, pay for necessities, and keep the households running amid the rising costs. At this point, weve seen the u. S. Stock market tank, the s and p 500 is down by 15 percent. Home sales have slipped this year and Consumer Confidence is low. Many are looking on and wondering if this could be yet another nail in the coffin of the by the administration. Invest that manager mich fire sign says its impossible to look for a solution from the same people who are responsible for the current price. This janet yelling has been consistently wrong when she was the chairman of the fed. And when she was on the board in the fed now, as it treasury secretary, the root causes of the problem are too much debt, too much credit to much leverage and too much money printing for 2 decades coming, bite them. I think the recession started long before this gdp medic, negative g d p for him. So, you know, if they want to put lipstick on a pig, its never going to turn into a model a recession. Were in a recession, weve been in a recession, they can lie as much as they want. It wouldnt be the 1st time, so i dont know why anybody shocked about it. Depletion is that all time highs. Youre not comparing like it like because 19 eighties. If you use the same method ology, you calculate current inflation. Now, its probably closer to 20 percent. What people are not talking about as well is the amount of debt thats been accrued during these negative Interest Rate years. So now youve got debt from the zombie corporations. And there are a lot of them that can never be repaid. So youve got probably 6 trillion dollars worth of triple b in junk bonds that have to be refinance. So you will see a mass amount of defaults and bankruptcies that will cause the coming crisis. You know, she said, i think 2 years ago or 3 years ago will never see another crisis in a lifetime, right before me, shes been consistently saying inflation is transitory. Lation is transitory until 6 months ago. So why would you believe people that are consistently wrong . The problem is were going to the same people who create the problems for a solution, and they have no solution and we have no leadership. And now onto the latest from ukraine, russia, Defense Ministry says kids forces their sustaining significant losses with the latest as full reaching at least 200. 00. As a result of high position russian strikes on Ukrainian Military positions in the hudson region inside the dog for public. Moscow says its missiles have destroyed 9 Ukrainian Military command post in the past 24 hours as well as 6 ammunition warehouses. This comes a day after more than a 100 rockets for western supplies. High mars launchers are said to have been destroyed with 120 ukrainian troops also killed. Meanwhile, in the don bass, the city of a low voice in the don, yes peoples republic was reportedly shalt by ukrainian forces. Local media have shared videos of a huge fire in the city, which is believed to be the result of the attack. Authorities are yet to comment on the blaze. This is as ukraine continues its relentless shelling of the civilian areas and the don. Yes, for public. Leaving little put ruins in many areas that locals used to call home are cheese, romano, closer. If reports from the city of gord rocha which has recently faced heavy shelly ukrainian artillery attacks continue against civilian population here in this city of gore lapka. At least that 14 private residences and a 16 multiple apartment buildings have been damaged as the result for people had been injured here and girl of god alone. This particular building has just 8 apartments, and 4 of them are now lying in ruins. Little to wish ease them. We had just gone out to get water when there was an explosion right there under the balcony, left to pillage. Everything went flying, which for apartments were destroyed all of us. All of the residents are still alive because we had stepped out. My neighbors had gone downstairs, which they would have died in their apartments. The 4 apartments on the side of the building were destroyed. The other side was left unharmed. When we came back home, there was no home to come back to, which is such a misfortune as i bought on it. But i got a call and was told that either your home is gone, your apartment is gone. Im happy to be alive. The owner of this apartment, how recently did renovation here. However, as you can see, all of that work was futile, as it now lies almost completely destroyed. Now, shores like these can be found everywhere. Now it might look small to you, but it weighs at least a 100 grams. No one was killed during this ukrainian attack. However, there were several wounded people here in goal of car and are now in the hospital, brahman cauthrin, r t, the ness, peoples republic kia directly ordered the sprite of video material that showed the murder of russian prisoners of war. Thats according to a member of the ukrainian nationalists as off italy who served in the units press service. A warning here, the man is the prisoner of war and may have spoken under duress good before the 24th of february, even before the start of the war, we received an order from the president s office to create an Information Campaign with shock content on the brutal murders of russian prisoners of war when the war started, we started monitoring, ukrainian media and information field. And we noticed that these videos began to appear. I think these instructions were not only given to us, but also to other military units or organizations. As i understand this Information Campaign was created to provoke and say war movements in russia. But this campaign caused a negative reaction worldwide because these are war crimes later, the order to suspend the campaign was given. I dont know who was specifically involved in this in our unit, but the videos as i understand were collected. And i know for sure that all the video materials, all the flash drives and hard drives were destroyed upon leaving as of style and pull me affordable. Chun from his cut the beginning of april at some point we were accompanied by as of faces. We went to the north of boucher where we had to distribute medicines. At some point, we even stopped by the hanger where we had to hand over a box of medicines for the as of unit. When we were in this hanger, we saw literally 30 meters away from us other cars driver from which there were russian soldiers within us to get out of the hang of fast than i had shot fired at russian prisoners of war. I saw how these prisoners it was shot, the lower extremities. In fact, it was the 1st war crime that i personally saw, that as soon as we saw this, we were asked to immediately pack our things and leave. It was very fast. When i was returning to the car from the passenger seat to leave, i had someone say, officer officer in russian or more of the officers. He once was immediately shelton, the head. In fact, the man was executed. What good as i left the hanger, i saw this execution you beveled, ah, dont play with fire warrants. The chinese president , as joe biden holds to his plan to sunday delegation. Its, i want, thats this by beijings repeated statements that the u. S. Involvement, its domestic policy will provoke even tougher strains between the 2 countries. Meanwhile, Taiwanese Service men have taken part in annual military drills, simulating a foreign invasion. Thats as some of the u. S. Officials fear a potential Armed Conflict with china. Other american politicians are apparently pushing for greater involvement in the region. So just seeing the u. S. Is delegation. Visit to taiwan is a must. Our tease, Rachel Blevins has the details. Now to say it appears to be moving forward with plans to send a delegation led by how Speaker Nancy Pelosi to tie one next month despite a host of warnings from beijing that the move would be a red line for china. Do we have repeatedly made it clear to america, our stern position against us house speaker, nancy pelosi is potential visit to taiwan. If the us insists on going its own way and challenging the red line of china, it will surely be met with forceful responses. All ensuing consequences are completely borne by the us. However, when it comes to red lines issued by other countries, washington has shown that he has no problem ignoring them. After all, thats why it refused to give russia any kind of guarantee that ukraine would not become a member of nato. Despite the impact the assurance could have had on using tension. But even by himself isnt fully on board with pillows whose plan. And it appears that the higher the chance of conflicts, the more the hawks and washington support the trip. We cannot back down the face of a chinese breast if they think they can threaten us into merely not traveling to taiwan. It might in fact incite them. And tempt them to go. The jug dealer and taiwan is pelosi, postpones or cancel the visit. It will be seen as the us climbed down in the face of chinese indignation and protest and an affront to our friends in taiwan. As the speaker of the United States house of representatives, you should never have to ask a foreign dictatorship or the state department for permission to talk to americas friends and allies. So why is the u. S. Considering this move now in the face of continued for us from beijing, while there have been increasing reports of the bite in ministration is concerned that china could be getting ready to move in and take taiwan in the coming month. The only problem, even the Mainstream Media reports have been for us to admit that us officials have no confirmation that china is actually planning such a move. However, there is now the fear that china could follow through on its threats and retaliate. If the u. S. Proceeds with this plan to send a delegation to taiwan next month. And so that brings men ship continues to mount threatening. A major conflict between 2 Nuclear Powers as neither side shows any signs of backing down. Political analyst and researcher Christopher Holly says that american politicians deliberately tried to provoke china to set the world against beijing. You have people like john bolton, you know cool leaders in war mongers who are, who are openly saying that nancy pelosi should go through with this. As are other leaders in washington, and this is a very dangerous escalation. This is a very, very high profile visit, and it comes at a time of increasing tension. Its not like the u. S. Is saying to china. You know, lets sit down, lets work things out. Lets deescalate everything will remove our Carrier Strike groups and will open up and recognize, you know, china sovereignty in the region. What theyre doing is the complete opposite. Theyre forcing countries that are making agreements with china like small Pacific Island nations, to go back on their deals with china, to close the door to china and slowly to in circle china. The, the, the chinese have not surrounded the u. S. With military bases in the military, plains and worships the United States is doing that to china. So this is just heightening the tensions and, and an escalating the situation. It doesnt need to happen now in the United States is doing it on purpose to provoke china. Ah, and france as a latest c u country to attempt to woo saudi arabia with its crown prince in paris for talks that says european leaders desperately seek alternative suppliers of energy to replace russian imports. However, Human Rights Watch dogs are crying foul over the courting of the prince. The washington based group called democracy for the arab world now has filed a criminal complaint against the top saudi official, the Organization Established by slain journalist schumacher shogi is urging paris to investigate the prince over his a legit role in the 2018 killing of the dissident the don watch dog that tracks Human Rights Violations in golf countries and promotes democracy, says been saw men should be stripped of diplomatic immunity, with 2 other advocate groups, reportedly also supporting the initiative earlier Amnesty International criticized france for hosting the prince. I feel profoundly troubled by the visit because of what it means for our world and what it means for jamal cash, l g. And people like him. The visits by mohammed ben salmon to france and joe biden, to saudi arabia, do not change the fact that m b s is nothing other than a killer. If environmentalists thought they were the only ones who are going to get short changed with this Energy Crisis, it looks like theyre now joined by human rights activists. But amendment, nicole french president is constantly evoking the importance of human rights in different contexts. Like, for example, up paris is the birthplace of the universal declaration of human rights. How the defense of human rights is woven into europes very fabric. But today mohammed ben solomon or effectually notice m. B. S is at the french president ial palace, which may or may not by the way, pale in comparison to the home, where m b. S. Is staying during his visit. Were talking here about a home that the New York Times says m b. S. Owns through shell companies, and its dub the worlds most expensive home by fortune magazine. The 7000 square meter shut, 2, louis cat tells that its really not far about a 40 minute drive around a kilometers from the famous shot to death sire. Which apparently inspired m b s is french home. Now the crown prince of oil rich to saudi arabia was directly tied by western Intelligence Services to the murder of Washington Post columnist, activist and prominent saudi government critic jamal cash o g, who is reportedly lured inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey in october 2018 and then dismembered with the bones, saw french president s always have been very pragmatic, casually, inconveniently, just, you know, setting aside lofty values when they happen
