[000:00:00;00] the retros, flagship, and business eventually st. petersburg. international economic forum is in full swing. we will take you through the latest deals and discussions from the countries in northern capital. shocking evidence emerges in france regarding bodies donated for scientific research. instead, they were sold for use of military experiments and crashed and sicilian come out against the mafia. don dubbed the people slayer. as he walks in free decades after killing more than a 100, including gruesomely strangling and dissolving a young victim in an acid. we speak to the widow of one police officer, he murdered the thing that infuriated me most is that italy does not make its

outreach public. i think all of sicily should take to the streets because he did not just through my family, hebrew, in the whole sicily. ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios and moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. st. petersburg is the epicenter of global business movers and shakers. this week in the cities. international economic form has now wrapped up its 1st full day with an array of high level guests taking part on thursday. now, no surprise that the pandemic and how it's altered the business environment was the early focus of many at the event. and a consensus is emerging that the health of the global economy depends on a swift return to normality through inoculation programs. but some also worry about health care being politicized. hungry is top diplomat gave us his view on the use

months long scrutiny of russia's sputnik v vaccine. you don't get commission made a big mistake at the very beginning by considering vaccines as if they were issues of ideology or geo politics. and they made made a mistake regarding the, the contract as well. because if you look at the united states, the united kingdom, israel, they've been using best vaccines as well, but they received much more at the beginning, they were able to, to start their vaccination campaign watch was much more quickly compared to the european union. so there was a big mistake because timing, timing was very bad. so that's why our experts have come to russia and i have gone to china as well. so after a very farro and very long procedure, they have given the emergency use authorization. so it's not that we would have started to use your or the chinese vaccine in

a blind way. it was not the case. there was a very vital procedure to look into it, which was the 1st eastern vaccine we signed contracts about. and the russian direct investment fund has already completed the deliveries together. 2000000 jobs have arrived. they are basically completely vaccinated and delivery from support and us a lot to be on the top of the european leak in this regard and to be able to open up . so i'm very happy to see here. so many people. i'm happy to see your life coming back to russia, and if you come to hunger, you will see that this is basically a similar situation in the back in hungary. another major talking point from the event was russia's announcement that it will completely remove dollar assets from its vast national wealth fund. breaking down the significance of that. here's artillio, katrinka. while this does appear to be a major landmark and something that's called detail or zation,

or giving up the dollar in national asset shares and international trade, because more than a 3rd of russia's national sovereign wealth fund is currently in the us dollars. so the national wealth fund, which is currently worth $185000000000.00 us dollars. so we're talking serious numbers here is designed to stabilize the volatile ruble from swing all prices. and also it could be used as a store of cash to be potentially spent on things like pensions and social welfare in difficult economic times. so it has been decided and announced by russians, minister of finance, that the dollar will be replaced by gold, the euro, and the chinese you on most important the, at the st. petersburg, international economic form. we heard from russia's 1st deputy prime minister. he

was frank when he was saying that the reason for this move is the threat of more potential us sanctions. it will only take about a month to make sure that this ship happens, which has already become the number one financial headline at the form here and st . petersburg and a little earlier in the afternoon, as the russian president spokesperson dmitri past golf also way did on the international context of the decision. i didn't say that the diesel was ation process is constant. it has now become obvious and this process of d dollars ation is taking place not only in our country, but also in many other countries in the world that study being concerned regarding the reliability of the main was the currency. it's not a surprise that russian law makers really welcomed the move and said that it's a very important step towards further strengthening rushes, national, financial, and economic sovereign. besides this,

this decision will really strengthen the role of the chinese currency in russia out of time when beijing and moscow are really continuing to pursue stronger ties in almost every aspect. in the meantime, we have already heard voices of concern from across the atlantic, including from one commentator who used to be a us treasury official. he said that the situation in which the likes of russia ran and try to continue the scene of the dollar is something that could really be a cause for concern in america. this trend towards diversification is a global em. accordingly, given the over reliance on the dollar before the hyper centralization of the international financial system on the dollar and the proceedings decades, some the dollarization and reduction and the role of the dollar is to be expected. i think we're definitely seeing 1st of all, a higher demand internationally for more reserve currency,

other reserve currency. this is something that the central banks want to have. the optionality, the ability to have a wider set of reserve currency them accordingly. and there is demand, there's going to be supply, i think we'll see more reserve currencies further down the road. there are going to be more alternatives. i think the goals will continue to play a significant role and probably in the increasing role in the reserves that countries will have in the coming years. we also spoke to russia foreign ministry spokeswoman about a range of topics including moscow, washington relations we've already done. we've been saying that we want to establish ties with the united states based on mutual respect and international law . of course we have common ground as well as points of disagreement and it's ok where different countries are history different. but we also have different

approaches towards the various issues, foreign and bilateral, not money, but that doesn't mean we have to sold those issues in a confrontational manner. and it doesn't mean that we have to dodge every possible opportunity to so those issues, we've been stressing this all the time. we see how russian us relations have been degrading recently. and washington has done it in different ways, including some vulgar once just to come, many times. russian diplomats have been ground is exp, out on the united states, within recent years. and how many times in the states have made up some called solidarity reasons. the force nato member states to expel our diplomats a chain of hostile steps led to us issuing a list of from friendless states with the united states and the czech republic and so far. but this is not a matter of our initial attitude towards them. just the response to the actions was actually you full interview with maria that is available now on our team youtube channel. so a busy day at the forum which runs through the weekend and st. petersburg,

we will make sure you don't miss the thing right here on our international me. ah, the gruesome details have emerged of how bodies donated for medical research in france are being used are teaser charlie davinsky has more now on corpses being sold for military experiments and crash test. it's new, or it's hale that many thought couldn't become any grimma in 2019 to merge that the bodies that had been donated for medical research had in fact been left the decay and unsanitary conditions hit in what was the center for body donations that the former perez dick university described as being nude decomposing with maggots in a room infested with wraps a mass grave in the heart of paris. it was some reported it were still,

it was revealed whole bodies. lynn had been sold for private companies for a price. now in the latest sinister turn it to be confirmed that somebody were told to act as crush dummies. these allegations had been made previously. but now there is evidence to show dead bodies were being used in this gruesome way. in the car industry, almost 40 percent of the money owned by the center for body donations came from industry that left families of those who left their bodies to medical science. shocked and devastated once again, make a good tool. now, when we found out we the families of the donors that the bodies of our parents were used to replace crash test dummies. there was a real stupor because nobody could have imagined this. so we are in a situation in which we are all facing a nameless confusion. there is disarray because no one was informed. it is necessary that the doctor had any connection with the scandal because it is

a real scandal. explain themselves. and then those who are responsible will have to face justice and pay for their deeds. there was no respect for the donors. that's the 1st thing. but the 2nd thing is that there is a market for bodies. there was so they, we used it is an abomination and the people who did that must explain themselves. they are culpable, and the punish. this practice is not illegal and some argue that the use of corpses in this way is in fact essential. today with phase the problem of shock trauma among subjects who are very overweight, we are forced to use a corpse acquired data that will be transposed into the modal. this is essential. we want to ensure that the devices are not aggressive and dangerous for humans. call manufacturers were not the only ones to have used for these for tests. so today the french oh me. including to observe what happens in a vehicle when it hit

a mine. take your whole system personal wishes were not taken into account. the people who and the motorist imagine their body has now said in a military experiment, which goes against their way of thinking. it is necessary not to forget. one thing to give one's body is the most final act of altruism in the world. when we give a body, you describe a family of a funeral, someone who donates that body. it's still the most beautiful gesture of humanity. it's like a person is saying, i give my body for the internet and the medical students to practice on. i'm a good doctors in the future to realize that these bodies using a tank explosion, for example, and understand what damage the explosion made to the body. it's just horrible. there has been closed since the revelations emerged 2 years ago. the university apologized at the time for families of donors,

but the scandal could provoke big changes. hearing problems and government report in due this month is expected to recommend better supervision of the donation of b clients. but that, of course, will be little consolation for the family to have already given their bodies for medical research, geology been sky t, paris. because the 19 conspiracy has been upgraded to a quote fringe theory by leading us newspaper. the washington post has changed its take on republican claims. the virus began and a chinese lab with the white house suggesting that that may have actually been the case. the pullback comes after president biden launched a probe into the possibility that the pandemic did it begin in the institute of raji. the post has also now diluted the phrase the bunk by scientists to disputed in a report originally published last year. and mainstream media across the board are

now scrambling to make some pretty embarrassing new terms. you don't need to invoke conspiracy theories, president trump, and secretary of state mike, palm pale linked virus to a lab, and whoo hon. without providing evidence, some things may be true. even if donald trump said them, i think a lot of people have egg on their face. i think a lot of people on the political left and a lot of people in the media made this mistake. wow. as tom cotton is saying something it can't be true where they assumed that and that's not right. and it seems like a lot of people, including a lot of people in the media, leapt to dismiss the lab league theory. because of where are we coming from? and the reality is, we don't yet know how coven started. we spoke to a political satirist, ron a call, and he says that the incident expose is just how much corporate media self sensors . just the practice of issuing corrections is, is a good thing. i mean, that just in, in of itself is not bad. be at the washington poster or any other outlet. i think

the problem goes a little deeper than that. the problem is not necessarily correcting errors. the problem is, well, how did these errors happen in the 1st place in the corporate media, in the united states and other parts of the world? the range of acceptable conversation is very limited. and it's not all too often, at least it's not limited based on what is subjectively true. it's limited based on what is permissible. and that often leads to a lot of this information an awful lot, especially when it comes to issues of the climate. when it comes to issues of warm peace, you know, this is just a nother example of the corporate media really limits the range of acceptable conversation for various reasons. and it leads to misinformation in this information all too often and it's

a systemic problem. there is it now outrage in italy after a mafia boss known as the people slayer, was freed from prison. this week. giovanni bruce had been convicted of overseeing more than 100 murders, but has now been released on parole. among those killed was an 11 year old boy whose body was then dissolved an acid. also on bruce goes, record was one of the states most infamous murders, the fascination of top mafia, investigator, giovanni for con, in 1992 falcons, car was blown up, killing him, his wife and 3 policemen. we spoke to the partner of one of the officers about the mafia dawn's release. hey, molly meadow, he's now a free man had it really hurts, even though it was not a surprise because there has been a lot of talk about it lately. obviously it is a blow. giovanni boost car has been released because he collaborated. we still do not know the truth. so why she know free. we have never saw revenge. we have always

asked for justice. today it is clear, it's just as there's no exist who would like to stay to be alongside us to be more tangible and imposed sudden penalties. as antonio's wife and mother of his children . i'm resentful. however, the thing that infuriates me most is that italy does not make its outreach public. i think all of sicily should take to the streets because he did not just ruined my family. he ruined the whole sicily. after his arrest, bruce, god turned informant, which led to let let him have a short prison term. and now here is how people in sicily reacted to the news. if it is your turn to someone they got, it evokes memories of the tragic events. brusque is responsible for these cases about the sentence which was served and fees door, which envisages some reprieve. to those who collaborate with justice. we should hope that the strategy will be further pursued because it enabled us wants to be the cause in us trans. it's ok,

i think it's on for especially for the victims. but unfortunately the use of collaborators to root out mafia is extremely useful. we wouldn't make any progress in combating the mafia without such arrangements. at the same time, i realized that it's not good with them and they don't so much home. and after so many crimes, we now see his release. it is quite disgusting. we're close at the moment to the families of the victims of the mafia. this criminal did horrible things. he killed so many people, and we all want to ask ourselves the question. did he really regret what he did? did he say everything he knows about the massacres that have bloodied cecily? when he truth and justice, we ask the state to continue investigating and make this criminal talk. google says sorry, but refuses to fire its diversity g for an anti semitic and post more than that after

a break. this is our international ah gather financial guy. i don't buy a guy, mom, a teachers that's not an almost friday. that's the last time i buy it for the future. so for i can watch kaiser replace me. ah ah ah, ah,

the ah ah ah. and welcome back. this is r t international. now a detained bella, ruth opposition activist, has appeared on local tv to accept responsibility for riots that took place in the country. last year, remind proto salvage and his girlfriend were arrested around 2 weeks ago. after many grounded a ryan air flight. they were traveling on our cheese to meet your power comments, roman pretty savish, the former editor of the bell, russian opposition telegram channel nestor, who was arrested over a week ago in minsk, has suddenly given an interview to a local news channel. now percentage is still being held in detention in mens,

but the new channel was still able to conduct the interview. and in it, per savage proclaims is false in causing the riots in bella last summer and much, much more was pretty much yeah. does it? but it's, it's important to understand, and i openly admit that i was one of those people who publish called to go out onto the streets on the 9th of august. as soon as i was presented with documents and charge, i immediately pleaded guilty in the organization of mass unauthorized protest. indeed, i immediately fully admitted my guilt in this regard, that i realized that the call to action, which are published, resulted in uncontrollable riots on the streets. and in fact, lived in chaos. for 3 days, he was on board a ryan air flight heading from athens development. that's when bell russian authorities demanded the plane make an emergency landing, and men's supposedly due to a bomb warning and subsequently arrested the former opposition actress. now miss claims that it received the bomb warning from hum off soldiers,

and that the presence of savage was a mere coincidence. come off itself has vehemently denied any such claim. but coming back to the interview, it's sudden publication actually comes is quite a surprise. the interview itself really seems more of a confession and the things that savage has apologized for admitted to is quite long. some of those things include admitting to agitating crowds with calls to protest, being responsible for the brutal rise and bella roof last summer, and admitting to being part of the as off battalion ends on boss ukraine in 2014. although pretty service should miss that she did not actually take any part in any combat. just good is there still taking into account the fact that not only allowed myself some statements but over violated journal, the ethics and cross boundaries. moreover, there were many people would this ideology in my circle, but i myself did not support this idea. ology. i think it was just probably the biggest mistake of my life. this is the one thing i really regret. he also gave up

the names of anybody who had a hand in organizing the protests and bella luce last summer. and supposedly revealed who was financing bella ross as opposition and its leader to come oscar. and those supposedly being lothian, taxpayers and private sponsors. and he even admitted that calls to sanctions were meant to destroy the bel russian economy, and leave bella russian people hungry. and while these admissions do seem quite damning, many are pointing out that the interview did take place in detention. and while this interview was supposedly supposed to make, after more questions about the arrest or the opposition activist himself, really all it seems it's done is raised even more questions. check giant google has refused to fire its head of diversity after public outrage over an anti semitic blog post. would you be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself?

self defense is on outwardly an instinct, but i would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering of others. that if i were a jew post was written in 2007 before he joined the company. after being brought now to public attention, google removed him as head of diversity but did not fire him an apology for the quote deep offence and pain that the message caused was given by the firm as well. we spoken to the head of the pro israel group stand with us. i think mister bob has the right to repudiate his previous statements. in my mind, of course, he should do that. everybody has the right to free speech by the way people have the right to and she semitic speech it, but it doesn't mean that a company like google needs to be hiring somebody with these opinions who has expressed them and published them. i believe that there's a lot of talk about inclusion in the city all across industry by jews seem to get

left out of that equation. and in order to make sure that we are acting against anti semitism and racism, and other forms of prejudice with equal measure, we need to have an educational process so that people understand what anti semitism is tech companies as much as anyone else need to redouble their efforts to support the jewish employees and to act against acts of anti semitism and to do their best to find them and to act against them and speak out against them as we all should do . almost meaningless. that's how campaigners have described. a new e u tax transparency law. it's an attempt to buy brussels to fight tax avoidance by big multinational companies. while makers say it targets large corporations with an annual income of more than 750000000 euro. from 2023 corporations must publish tax details online, including profits and the number of employees. however, it focuses on going on within member states and will leave out most operations in

the rest of the world. that's why some non governmental organizations, including oxfam, say it's essentially a band aid on a gaping wound. we are disappointed about g d outcome. this new legislation. public country by country reporting is not real public by country reporting. why? because he doesn't calder for the country, although peroration of the companies that are present to you. and in addition to that, adding these kind of information for only a limited number of countries. can you ever really limited feature of the structure of a company? and this can even be misleading for her research for purposes, but also for 40 best to know if really a company is responsible or not. research has shown that in some cases,

80 percent of profits are moved around the block to so called new tax havens like island luxembourg, and the netherlands oxfam again says the law can be easily circumvented. it's very limited tool, so it will be useful to have more transparency on you talk statements that at the same time corporation could be, you've been incentivized to sheets for all fits to tech save and outside the you where they don't have to report information. so this is actually not a solution for her global sex avoidance of corporation. or that is it for me this i'll be back in $32.00 and a half minutes with another full freshly extra news. this is our to international the one the panoramic. no,

certainly no borders and my number is emerge. we don't have authority. we go to the back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people judge, you know, come crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so me, good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in

the ah, me. they will kick it off summer solutions every summer we talk about the solution. growing on the problems, you know, we got answers, we've got pollution the

the de la made no one. julie, ma'am, i can only get in the largest record, the harmonic duncan will not to heal. oh, love or help. yeah. yay, yay. she's the one the a little begin with the conduct of not because the car the bill of nick is similar. only be 2 people out them or not. i think i might get through on this order for late the article, but the i got of them. we'll see you tomorrow for you. nice when i got home,

john to get lots of be done sometimes,
