RT on Odysee

On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor Lumumba delves into the darkest, most overlooked chapter of colonialism: the systematic sexual subjugation of African women. He exposes how the colonizers turned intimacy into a weapon of state, using bodies as currency for economic gain and instruments for social control. With unflinching clarity, Professor Lumumba rescues these stories from the footnotes of history, restoring dignity to the silenced and holding the past to account for its most intimate betrayals.

This week on Lumumba's Africa, the Professor turns his gaze toward a new frontier: the African Continental Free Trade Area. Not just a trade deal — but the boldest bid for Pan-African unity in a generation. With more nations on board than any other free-trade area in history, this is the sound of a continent rewriting the rules. Professor Lumumba delivers a compelling truth: Africa is no longer joining the world — it is reshaping it. Don't miss this episode on the Africa that is rising.

Palestinian families in the West Bank village of Qusra say Israeli settlers surrounded their homes, blocked an ambulance and cut them off from food, water and medicine.

RT correspondent Charlotte Dubinskij and her crew attempted to reach the families but were confronted by settlers, pushed back and prevented from entering by armed men whose affiliation could not immediately be confirmed.

The Netherlands has exhumed the remains of Konovalets, a founder of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, ahead of their planned reburial at a historic cemetery in Ukraine.

The Russian Embassy in The Hague condemned the move, accusing the Netherlands of turning a blind eye to Kiev’s glorification of Nazi collaborators.

Political scientist Vladimir Karasev argues that the reburial reflects Ukraine’s long-standing policy of honoring nationalist figures and calls it ‘another PR stunt by Zelensky.’

Why would Ukraine refuse to take back its own prisoners of war and fallen soldiers?

War correspondent Thomas Roeper argues that the answer is money. He claims Kiev can avoid compensation payments while troops remain listed as missing in action, and says the government relies on PR to explain delays in prisoner and body exchanges.

Japan has protested Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to the disputed Kuril Islands, which Tokyo claims as its ‘Northern Territories.’

Nelson Wong, vice chairman of the Shanghai Center for RIMPAC and International Studies and a Valdai Club expert, argues that Japan is overreacting. He discusses the post-World War II agreements governing the islands, Moscow and Tokyo’s failed attempts to reach a settlement, Japan’s alliance with the United States and Tokyo’s accelerating military buildup.

What if the biggest threat to thousands of sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln is not the enemy, but rather the unbearable conditions they have to face after 9 months at sea? Six U.S. Navy sailors have reportedly tried to jump overboard from the aircraft carrier as moldy showers, broken toilets, absence of hot water, laundry problems and shortages of soap have plagued the ship. America Now anchor Ben Swann discusses the reports with former Green Beret Michael Yon. Plus, ICE plans to spend millions on the new electric gloves for its officers. America Now correspondent Jalyssa Dugrot examines the shocking story.

Tonight, we’re looking at a story that sounds almost like something of a spy movie – President Donald Trump, after returning from Turkiye, was secretly moved off Air Force One because the Secret Service and the military believed Iran might shoot down his plane. America Now anchor Ben Swann brings journalist Owen Shroyer, host of ‘The Owen Report’ to discuss these reports and the resignation of the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Plus, after years of controversy, the U.S. government is now cutting off Medicaid funding of gender transition hormones and surgeries targeting children – America Now correspondent Olivia Flynn has the details.

On this episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick Sanchez sits down with a man who needs no introduction. Tucker Carlson drops a truth bomb right from the start, arguing that when a podcaster is widely tipped for the presidency, it speaks volumes about the absolute bankruptcy of the current U.S. leadership - a class he brands as both criminal and dangerously incompetent.

The gloves come off as Carlson blasts the collective West for actively waging a calculated war against Russia, blindly pushing humanity to the brink of World War III. Together, Sanchez and Carlson dissect how a hijacked, illegitimate political elite has traded American domestic prosperity for global destruction.

From exposing the illusion of modern Western democracy to revealing how deep-state actors leverage mass migration as a deliberate weapon, Carlson holds nothing back. He pulls back the curtain on Ukraine, saying it has been stripped of its sovereignty and is being used as a mere pawn by NATO to destabilise Russia and drain its resources.

This is a fierce, unfiltered look at a global empire in freefall and an interview you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

Nearly 370 Palestinian children are being held in Israeli prisons, many without conviction. New figures show that the number placed under administrative detention — imprisonment without charge or trial — has almost doubled in just over a year.
