while remember russia, this non block it at the, the damage will be inevitable. moscow warns of repercussions of the e, you moles, over using almost all of the revenue earned on frozen russian assets to keep funding kids in the spring home. like also coming up on the program, the regional counseling ukraine, all nation infamous nazi veterans coming us, the west attempts the white horse test scandal is image of western leaders of voting governors. bob who in the canadian parliament on conflicting statements. ida of washington as the u. s a is the protection of hollow spinny and civilians must be the priority, but continue to support israel to ongoing war. and does that including with the supply, what the

problem must go to the world. this is our t great thought of your company for the mid week news. our, i'm going to know the russia is wanting nothing. european union is just shooting itself in the thoughts for proposal to use russian money for ukraine is given the green light, e u foreign policy chief use, a parrell has tabled a proposal to spend 90 percent of the revenue earned on frozen russian assets on 8 amunition for t, if law school saves the move will provoke decades of legal baffles to you should know this isn't of a statement in line with the movement towards the destruction of the legal foundations of europe. in an international law, the europeans are well aware of the damage such a decision can bring both to their economy and to their reputation as reliable guarantors of the involve ability of property. the damage will be inevitable. the presence will be involved in making such decisions. the countries that will decide

this, they will become the objects of prosecution for many decades. yeah, well it's basically the easy or resorting to assess release thinking to new lows. so found this front of ukraine, as we know is the credit is really running dangerously low, munitions, the help that it's expect them from the us in terms of money and weapons installing, as they can come to an agreement. they're. so e officials said, hey, what can we do vote, let's use the money that we froze from the russians. and this is exactly what they're doing. the proposal right now is to use the profit acquired from those assets and uh, from the war. and you can now, let's talk a little bit about these assets. what i was talking about, we have about $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank that was frozen by the west. the majority of that money is held by a company euro clear in belgium, and they have made down their math. and apparently, all this money, this profit could yield them about 15000000000 up to 20000000000 euros after tags

until 2027. so this is the money that they can use to fund the war and the credit supply weapons, and all of that, this is what they're proposing right now. so joseph burrell decided to propose this to e member states. i extend to the country a proposal. i've come, she'll decision a proposal for that control decision to allocate the bulk of these revenues to, to be in union financial capacity. and this proposal is about to allocate 90 percent of these revenue digital. the beast facility on the tops will defy billions, not them substitution off, but i think that these 5000000000 revenues generated by this pros and assets. you know, that to increase the military support to ukraine. so and so for so there he is. there he propose that we are getting reports right now that apparently the european

commission has approve that plan even though there was supposed to discuss this and vote on this at the e u. leaders summit taking place on thursday and friday. but we are now getting reports of the european commission has approve. that was to move like inside the u over this proposal. but originally the idea was yes, to use these assets to use this profit to help with build new crane for reconstruction, force mandatory in a and some you do member states, we're agreeing with this that where that went along with it. but they didn't like the idea of it being used in any militarily, sort of ways. and it was, or sort of underlying that european commission, impressive who have been really into ideal, hey, listen, only use this for humanitarian purposes. let's actually use it where we need it most to buy those weapons that you claim badly since they are not able to do it themselves. let's have the russian money do it to for them. and a lot of people and nobody appreciating all these new ideas that are still of

underlined sheep. simon, recently there was a growing discontent against fonder. lion for improvising said in a you, diplomat, diplomat said founder lions approach is particularly disadvantageous for smaller member states that have more to gain from collective decision making. now we have all these countries that are not agreeing in terms of these assets being used to help buy weapons. but joseph well, for example says, well, this is a brilliant idea of why because it's sold, they're not using the easy bunch of this money would go to a special fund that is called the european nice facility, which is a joke in itself to have the word piece in there and this fund runs all budget, doesn't have to abide by the same legal standards or even be approved by the european parliament. but also this is really bad in terms of what it does for countries that want to, for example, hold their money in western reserve, is because this shows them, hey, if one day in the future you happens to disagree with the west. they can always seize your assets,

use the profit he's in the european central bank. before said that caesar, ross and assets will undermine confidence in the your current c, n, e u markets. but apparently now joseph or else as well they're, they're back in the plan because it's only the prophets that we're using, but the message and the idea that they're sending through the world is exactly the same. this is again, another message we're hearing from experts. be careful when you're doing things like that. the short of the global currency can actually go further and use its financial power to actively influence international developments. but this spyware must be used wisely because wip amazing occurrence, it may stimulate dimensions of alternatives. let's not forget that russian courts can always with highly age, because that's a company that holds the majority of the frozen russian assets, the euro clear in belgium. well, actually, right here in moscow, they have the national securities that add up to 33000000000 euros. so russell

could retaliate and then sees their assets. so we'll see how it ends up. and we're still waiting to see whether it was actually finally officially approved or whether this will be discussed and put up to vote at the summit on thursday. and friday we're going to cost river and nikki, are and talking up through earlier. now they've got reaction as well. a swedish piece research are um, commentator yellow berg. so he's up by at seizing the interest from russian frozen assets. the us putting itself in a self defeating situation, it seems to indicate that the european union, as such, is running at the ideas of a long range and thinking, planning policies of money, of emulation, of money for weapons. if others look at this and you can steal country is money, is that or revenues from what you have frozen at that?

who would, who would trust the west to put the money into the western banks? this is all totally self defeating in the long run. and the paradoxical be saw, our idea is that this was originally sold. if you accept the idea of stealing somebody else's money for your own purposes, he was told to be for rebuilding it. civilian economy, rebuilding ukraine now. it seems to be moving to becoming a guest at fort for weapons to ukraine. now, is this the most foolish thing you can do? because you take one step after the other away from a negotiated solution. now or region in ukraine has decided to owner the infamous nazi veteran. you have a slab who with a method of scandal interrupted last year, when the canadian prime minister uploaded the buffing ss veteran and part of it. here's how the ukranian, coastal in question justified their tribute to the 3rd reich collaborator,

a yellow slab home elisha division veteran, is to be decorated for a significant personal contribution to providing assistance to ukrainian armed forces in charitable and public activities. so it's not exactly clear what contribution 0 slob hung come made it to the armed forces of ukraine beyond of course, the service and hitler's watson as ask alicia division of ukrainian nazis who spent world war 2, killing jews and our russian allies fighting against hitler along with us in the west at the time he's 99 years old now and yeah you pre. busy getting short on troops, but i still don't think they're calling up the 99 year old x that's from canada. yeah. to serve as cannon fodder. so about the only quote public activity that home car is actually known for these days. sitting in canadian parliament while visiting ukrainian prime minister as long as whiskey in all of the town was elected representatives cheered. i was speaking to introduce them as a guide and russians,

totally ignoring the historical contacts that russians back then were allies of the west against heather. we have here in the chamber today ukrainian canadians, ukrainian canadian world veteran from the 2nd world for from fort ukrainian independence against the russians. the plain regional council is doing russian propaganda now ripping off this band aid on through those political career and putting hunger back into the spotlight with an award and the name of the euro. slide stetsco, whose name as an added bonus, figures in some online holocaust studies courses as someone known for giving denazi's his seal of approval for their extermination methods used on jews. former house speaker scope out and explained that all the was his constituent and lived in

his districts. and he said last year that he had invited hancock to parliament. what actually happened road that clarified was that the canadian ukrainian congress lobby put forward honk his name, and the parliamentary protocol office had the whole list vetted by to those office with a fine tooth comb. before the invitation was sent out. not surprising that the russian embassy had a bit of fun with that fact he was prime minister justin to don't mean bought to desktops criminal to the parliament last year, as recommended by the current in canada and community. that's 5 months later, still that silent, don't you, of whom cause nancy post. no condemnation equals justification. teacher don't characterizes new fiasco, which was revealed alongside another new little bit of information that hunker had also been invited to a private end by only swa. hey, in toronto with true day it was a wednesday and about a 1000 other of their closest friends. now the email invite for that came from to

those office, and that was linked to the canadian press, also back in february. at which point the official opposition want to know why true joe didn't come clean about all of this when he had a chance. months ago now we know that he personally invited that same individual and he said that the former speaker had to resign or were doing the exact same thing. so will he hold himself to the very same standard method he's not fit for off the leader of the off position is choosing to me against the ukrainian canadian congress. this conservative party no longer stands with ukraine, used to not stand. we do not stand with ukrainians. not with you and you all team zalinski is talking about how they're ready to join you like right

now because the clean up in ukraine is going faster than expected. maybe that has something to do with cruising siding the notification as one of the 2 goals that process military operation in any case looks like they may have missed a spot over there at the turn of all region. a lot of drama for a country that's already really high maintenance and costing a lot of money to the west. and well, it's kind of high drama that usually reads to a breakup long before marriage announced rachel marston move. we spoke to a finished journalist based and on boss who is all of the view, the west silence 1000 boland ukraine, to flirt happily with nazi is a waste of course the sheer on the firing line because we don't here to go on donation. we hear silence official support for nazis, goes to the years or full of minorities, and adults can be victims of

a possible ethnic nationalism. and that's why great is playing with fire may be even kind of a black man in the west indeed. or is that even if you don't continue to support those? we will raise the these issues. and that will, of course, of how in the western countries where the integrated, the immigration population will react strongly. they are losing their home wrong. these, these support for the gradient, nazis will come widely known in the western western countries, adding the red population. meanwhile, the european union has extended as part of free policy on you printing and agricultural to imports. that is, despite you to recall the months long protest by farmers across the continent, against the use trade privileges for get brussels saves action will be taken. however, if europe and markets are seriously impacted,

the commission can take swift action and impose any measures it deems necessary. should there be significant disruption to the market or the markets of one or more e u countries due to ukrainian imports. members of the european parliament secured the expansion of this list to include outs, mays growth and honey. they also obtained firm commitments from the commission to take action if there was a surge of ukrainian in ports of wheat, or polish farmers. how being among the strongest critics of the years policy colon towels being dealing with nationwide protests with farmers at blocking border roads, preventing ukrainian trucks from entering the wider block, those rallying, se ukrainian imports are lowering prices on the european market, and putting farmers livelihoods in jeopardy earlier slovakia and hungry joined warsaw claiming they would defy the use directive in the event of the chart of suspension for key of being prolonged global. the, for example, as george zamarelli says, the use new regulation is hurting its own citizens,

or do we know exactly how the operates release? the risk concerns is the well being, all of its citizens and of the most powerful voices in the you are actually very honest, sympathetic to all of the farmers, and are obsessed with the whole issue of ukraine. quite why that's so obsessed with ukraine here remains a mystery. but nonetheless, they feel that they have to do whatever they can to commit themselves to ukraine. and so this decision essentially extending for another year. the temporary free imports of grain from ukraine is clearly an insult to the farm and then it's going to do absolutely nothing. clearly this is causing immense hardship. so the follows agricultural products are being sold at

ridiculously low prices while at the same time inflation an interest rates, heating them hot when level the products that they need to buy in order to maintain their phones. protecting civilians must be a priority. what washington has said in urging israel to delay any military offensive in the city of rasa to ensure the safety of palestinians. however, of the same time the u. s. is continuing the flow of weapons to ally. we acknowledge from the very beginning that israel has a fundamental right to be able to defend itself and, and so we're going to continue to support them as a, as they try to do that, ensure that they have what they need to defend our people. but we also recognize the importance of ensuring that people remain safe and gauze and a 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. or we've been clear about the need to

prioritize the protection of civilians. so that, that should be a key part of any military, any plan, any, any type of operational planning to for, to account for and protect those civilians that are in the battle space. and again, we've yet to see such a plan, but we'll have an opportunity to engage the leadership here on that. so it's almost as it does have a plan. no one saw it yet. but anyway, it seems that these roles and vision into rough on is the matter when not if, despite growing global disapproval, the biggest concern was and remains the estimated 1500000 palestinians currently sheltering in the area. more than half of gas as population. and many swap the worlds have been born and against invading such a densely populated region. but if one is smitten, yeah, whole, these really prime minister takes into consideration any opinion from abroad. that

would be american, america is sending conflicting messages from one hand. it says don't invade russell and his monday phone conversation, for example, with newton yahoo bite. and according to his administration, said the sold would be any state for us. national security adviser also pointed it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths and deep and humanitarian crisis in the in place. and yeah, who doesn't ignore this criticism? a high ranking is rarely delegation is of the us so presents, and he's really plan off evacuation of gases before the operation and to call the american leadership as well separately is really defense minister also travels to the us next week to meet his american counterpart and clearly, russell will be on the agenda, but at the same time, we just heard the us secretary of defense regenerating washington, his commitment to our israel no matter what, even before they. so n,

he's rarely plan all for the occasion. guys is 1500000 palestinians from ross, or before the on slots. so why would israel care at all that decision has been made and there are no real obstacles to the the model huck. we have an argument with the americans about the need to enter off on record, not about the need to eliminate him off the need to enter rafa. we see no way to eliminate from us militarily, without destroying these remaining battalions. out of respect to the us president, we agreed on the way in which they could present their ideas to us, especially on the humanitarian side, which we have coal share in this desire to allow an orderly exit of the population and provide aid to the civilian population but i made it clear to the president in our conversation in the clearest way that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in rafa. and there is no way to do it other than the ground invasion between the hours. so confidence, in fact,

america is divided over washington. the support of h ro, city are figures in the by the administration. and all of us officials say israel is breaking the law in gaza with the help of america and using american weapons, making washington accomplice on the pressure from congress. president joe biden introduce a new policy last month requiring all countries that received american military supports to abide by us and international law provided is to continue his back. univers, real secretaries of state and decides must endorse these roles, assurances send before within the next 5 days. on tuesday, the us invested to israel privately told the state department of israel fulfills as obligations and that's part numerous. we action across the american political establishment with officials calling the ambassadors assessment homeless, comical, unobserved, unclear, actually what decision will eventually be made. but in the meantime,

2 human rights organizations submitted a document to the us government's claiming these rarely assurances are not credible . they accused israel of violated international humanitarian law and urge the america to stop arming as well, and a joints memorandum, base summarized as rarely violations, such as striking hospitals and ambulances, or preventing humanitarian aid, including us, funded from crossing into the gas a streets. we urge secretaries blinking and austin to consider the likely violations below when determining the credibility of these really governments assurances in response to n s. m. 20 ox fam, and human rights watch. believe a suspension of arms transfers to israel is necessary so long as there is an overriding risk that they are being used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and us law and policy. while

president joe biden and others supporting arms deliveries for israel, se washington sends weapons to help israel defend itself and protect its citizens. in fact, americans suppose israel with all kinds of weapons and in much bigger amounts than it is needed for self defense. in 5 months of the war, washington improved and delivering more than $100.00 separate for and military sales to israel, including thousands of precision guided munitions and bonds. previously, only 2 approved contracts for a main hub, x h, more than a $100000000.00 wars. and it turned out the figure is much higher to versus $100.00 . and that shows just how extensively washington is involved in the 5 month long conflict and gather it has so much criticism about but only in wards. india has declared the un security console has quote, both feet firmly fixed in the past, new delhi was slumming,

the block proposed reforms claiming representation from global side countries falls short as the main body of the united nations. with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, how much or little the security council has been able to deliver on peace and security in the contemporary world with both feet. if i may say so firmly fixed in the past for the p 5 to decide even in the 21st century as to what the rules should go eventually to. the 10 reflects a continuation of any qualities created in the past. 19450, a. well, the statement comes a day after the indian delegation level criticism of the un directly. the country is representative underlined issues such as the lack of a permanent seat on the security costs. but for any country of the global side,

unspoken why certainly members sold to keep the existing model in place. former high commissioner of india to bangladesh and malaysia professor of venus. 63 total r t e reforms are well, which the question is on u. n. c, jody gone to the reforms, india, and that is the highest importance to you as you already gone through the default, because the fee and what are the major views of that the un is increasingly effective in macros, off of what piece into your di in matters of development because you entered you already gone to reform the rock taking place and one of the beach was i'll see you and see you already gone to the phones are the shape and size and membership of the un security don. so it said no, just a building to increase this non governmental membership group from 10 to maybe another $25.00 or $26.00 is not going to be effective at all. really reading the general assembly into the security guards and that's all you're doing. the main

point about us to go down to the bottom, the membership, it has to be representative. it must be representative. without that, how could you dig it? does he get on anything? now? p 1945. maybe at that time, there was no eviction of working for the you in to go to guns. a loan is meant, but i think with just something that was the less elected or they would normally do by himself considering the situation at the end of world war 2 in 1945, but to j. e. d is down the line. we will see that is a great need for making the appointment membership more representative is the thank you to say i want to do you want being dial after the on demand. how do you think that is going to represent the worst situation? how do you think it's going to be effective at all? so that is why we see that the you integrate honestly is, is putting into the media ineffective in terms of key decisions and dumb the solution. finding approaches in terms of a bringing resolution on the major up on fixing creation,

seizing the work today iris to shortly. overall cur has all expectedly resign from his post and from the leadership of the ruling party in the coalition. so i am resigning as present and leaders and the guy was active today. i will resign as the teacher as soon as my successor is able to take up that office that has been the most fulfilling time of my life. however, politicians are human beings, hubbard, invitations. we give it every time until we count anymore, and then we have to move on. my reasons for stepping down are both personal and political. there are loyal colleagues and good friends contesting though, could you repeat that actions? and i want to give them the best chance possible. and i think that a better chance under a new leader. so line, uh, well the bottom shall, a nice bend comes less than a fortnight after iris voters overwhelmingly rejected. propose changes to the constitution including saying no to the definition of the family unit being altered

. the referendum was one of the cornerstones of the prime minister of social policy agenda. we 1st became leader in 2017 opposition party heads, including from sion fame which supports re unification with northern ernest have already called for the dates of a general election to be brought forward. your. busy or unexpected decision to signal that your stepping down as t shock bears all the signs of a government that has lost confidence in itself. because it knows it has lost the confidence of the majority of people in this country. so we don't need a shifting of the deck chairs on the titanic. we don't need an internal election in seen a gale. we need the people to decide we need

a general election here. that is the democratic thing to do well are as based independent journalist jason, michael told us mr. rod curtis resignation came as a shock, but is a predictable consequence following a catalog of political failures. you know, if this is a surprise, it's come with a little bit of a shock that the truck has, you know, residing the light, the best i'm having watched his resignation. it seems to many people that you know his resignation has come with a little bit of a shock even to himself. no one here is quite sure for any of the means. i'm the most of the referenda leo. but i'd cons, has sat over what has been described as a catalogue of political failures. the both referenda one on the family and one on k of was full bodily presented to the i feel like to that that even those who would normally be in favor of such

a thing just didn't feel that they have to pass all confidence to one of the stand and this we saw across the entire political spectrum, backing a yes. yes. uh, from the socialist pop. these last leading parties engine. same. who opened a yes. yes. and both in the referendum, in the immediate aftermath where, you know, bit cutting, i'm challenging the government on the lack of explanation that was certainly felt on the ground that had owned the whole marks of something. i'm prepared in haste and cruelly can setup okay from ireland to indonesia, where defense minister prep bulls to be unto has been officially announced as the next president of the world's 3rd biggest democracy. the engine easy and general elections commission release, the official results of last month election on weddings. they missed it should be on 2 so of 2 other candidates, winning 59 percent of the total vote of $36.00 of the nation's.
