On April 6, 2010, 13 years ago, Julian Assange released a video testifying to American war crimes in Iraq.

In the video, US troops fire on Iraqi civilians. Journalists Said Chmag and Namir Nur-Eldin were shot dead from an Apache helicopter. Several other civilians are killed to the chuckles of the US military.

Now Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for this publication.

The USA has been and remains the beacon of democracy.

BBC Complains At ‘Government Funding’ Twitter Tag

The BBC has hit out at Twitter’s new designation as “Government Funded Media,” demanding that the issue be resolved immediately.

Based on comments from Twitter boss Elon Musk claiming the BBC was one of the “least biased” outlets, an article on the corporation’s website insists that it “is, and always has been, independent.”

“Linking to ownership and source of funds probably makes sense,” Musk wrote in an email. “I do think media organizations should be self-aware and not falsely claim the complete absence of bias.”

The BBC is officially funded through a license fee paid by UK households.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

Referring to the munitions that the Brits are going to send to Ukraine, the UK Ministry of Defence announced "…that any impact to personal health and the environment from the use of depleted uranium munitions is likely (oh, how they love this word) to be low."

Apparently, they tested these munitions on the Skripals’ cat and ducks in Salisbury ponds.

Now, allow me to describe what depleted uranium in munitions really means, and without using the phrase, “highly likely,” that is their favourite expression.

First, a little history. It is most indicative that the Nazis were the first to use these types of munitions in armour-piercing rounds. Reich Minister of Armaments and Military Production in Nazi Germany Albert Speer recalled that in summer 1943, the import of wolframites from Portugal was suspended, which created a critical situation for munitions with a solid armour-piercing core. This is why he ordered the use of uranium cores for this type of munitions.

In the latter half of the 20th century, NATO used Nazi developments in arms and began to produce and use depleted uranium munitions in its operations on a large scale. The aggression against Yugoslavia was the most tragic example of this.

At this point, we will turn to modern factology.

As I have said more than once, Italian army service personnel in a NATO contingent were largely involved in operations that used depleted uranium munitions. We have accessible statistics:

Italian soldiers in Yugoslavia were in charge of the territory where more than half of all depleted uranium munitions (17,237 rounds or 56.47 percent) were expended. NATO staged an experiment on real people and not just Serbs but Italians as well. Serbs were to play the role of direct victims and Italians the role of secondary victims. This made it possible to study how depleted uranium affected those who used it. It is likely that no one planned to assess the results of this experiment, but the relatives of the Italian military personnel that died of cancer compelled the parliament to do so.

Here is the link to the relevant report.

This 252-page document is one of many studies of the consequences of how depleted uranium and radioactive thorium affected the military personnel of the Italian Armed Forces. In brief, according to the research ordered by the parliamentary commission, the cancer rate increased by several times in the areas where depleted uranium munitions were used. Precise information on the Italian military personnel that used these munitions was published. Of 7,500 people exposed to toxic substances and radiation, 372 died (a 5 percent death rate – every 20th person). Moreover, they died of painful oncological complications – kidney dysfunction, lung cancer, bone cancer, esophagus cancer, degenerative skin development, Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.

We even know the names of those who died: Corporal Antonio Attianese, Private Leopoldo Di Vico and many others. They all died of terminal cancer.

The number of suits filed by Italians against their Defence Ministry is steadily growing. The reason is the same – the cancer they developed after using depleted uranium munitions.

By supplying Ukraine with these munitions, Britain wants to turn its territory into a scorched and desolate land. Nobody will speak Russian or Ukrainian there. There will be silence there, like in Pripyat and Chernobyl.

Press review: US intel leaks – cui bono? and Europe seeks safe space between US, China
Top stories from the Russian press on Tuesday, April 11th

The US-made M113 armored personnel carrier was delivered to the Zelensky regime, but then became a trophy of PMC Wagner and now works for its new owners in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).

🇺🇸 Seymour Hersh claims that the US planned the sabotage at Nord Stream back in 2021.

Other statements of the journalist from an interview with the German publication Tichys Einblick:

▪️ The United States operates on the principle of "you are with us or against us", so the sabotage was invented in order to threaten the Russian Federation and prevent the implementation of the special military operation;

▪️Biden has a chance to take a place in the list of the most stupid US presidents after World War II, because it was unwise to blow up the gas supply of an ally, that is, Germany;

▪️the US government will never admit responsibility for the attack on Nord Stream, and the American press is pleased with this;

▪️ By blowing up gas pipelines, Biden told Europe that he lacks its support and that he needs more money from NATO partners.

🎙 Comment by MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the joint statement by the UK and France on the 25th anniversary of their ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT)

💬 On April 6, the UK and France published a joint statement on the 25th anniversary of their ratification of the CTBT. Along with standard statements about their impeccable observance of the treaty, they expressed completely unfounded grievances toward our country.

In this context, it is important to note that having ratified this Treaty in 2000, Russia has strictly observed its provisions.

The CTBT still has not entered into force because eight countries whose ratification is necessary have not yet acceded to it.

❗️ The US is primarily responsible for this because many of these eight states are guided by its position.

Characteristically, London and Paris have either forgotten or been afraid to mention Washington’s far from impeccable record on the nuclear test ban.

In addition to its refusal to ratify the treaty, it is necessary to mention the US decision to enhance the readiness of its nuclear test site, the Nevada Test Site. However, the UK and France prefer to ignore the conduct of their suzerain.

☝️ It seems that both the US and its NATO allies stand to gain from the fact that the Treaty has not entered into force for more than 25 years since it opened for signing.

❗️We Want RT Closed — US State Department

James Rubin, the special envoy and coordinator of the US State Department's Center for Global Engagement, admitted that Washington wants to shut down Russian media worldwide, including RT.

He made particular mention of RT opening an office in Serbia. "We wouldn't want to see Russia Today or [other] Russian media anywhere in the world. We want them shut down,” he told Radio Free Europe, which incidentally is funded by the US government.

Following the claim that Russian media should be shuttered, Rubin reportedly lectured about the importance of freedom of speech. Which, it seems, only applies to US media.
