the aah rushes, flagship business events. the st. petersburg international economic form 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. many were then sold for youth and military experiment and practice and civilians, voice their anger after a mafia. don w, the people slayer walks freak decades after killing more than 100 people, including one young victim who was gruesomely strangled and dissolved in acid. we speak to the widow of a police officer he murdered. 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 ruin my family to ruin the whole sicily.

ah . broadcasting direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with. st. petersburg is the epicenter of global business, movers and shakers. this week, the city's international economic form has now wrapped up its 1st full day with an array of high level guests taking part on thursday. 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 top diplomat gave us his view on the use month long scrutiny of rushes, putting a vaccine. european 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, 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 far old procedure to look into it, which was the 1st term vaccine we signed contracts about and the russian. 3 direct

investment fund has already completed the deliveries together. 2000000 jobs have arrived. they are basically completely vaccinated. and this delivery from sport has 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 asset from its vast national wealth fund, breaking down the significance of that his art easily a tranquil while. this does appear to be a major landmark and something that's called diesel 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 importantly, 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 shift happens, which has already become the number one financial headline at the form here and st

. petersburg in 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 organization 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 decides 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 be seeing 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, higher demand internationally for more reserve currency, other reserve currencies the. this is something that the central banks want to have . the optionality, the ability to have

a wider set of reserve current fees them accordingly. and there is demand, there is going to be supply, i think we'll see more reserve currency further down the road. are going to be more alternatives. i think the goal will continue to play a significant role in probably an increasing role in the reserves that 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 already know. 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 is 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 rushing us relations have been degrading recently. and washington has done it in different ways, including some vulgar ones just to come many times russian diplomats had been grounded exp out on the united states with in recent years. and how many times in the states has made up so called televera the reasons the force made a member states to expel our diplomats. a chain of hostile steps led to us issuing a list of from friendly 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 before interview with maria is a honda is available now on ortiz youtube channel. so a busy day at the forum which runs through the weekend in st. petersburg will make sure that you don't miss thing right here on our international the americans that we're almost asking where's the beef after a cyber attack?

waylaid the world's largest, meet packer j. b s which supplies more than a 5th of all beef to the us. it was fully operational thursday after all plans were earlier pushed offline the f. b. i blamed the attack on a russian hacker, so didn't look e b r t been this one explains there definitely has to be some kind of clarity put here because the problem is, when, whenever you have media talking about these issues and you have publications talking about these issues, they love to conflate russia as, as a nation state with russian actors also with russian speakers. i mean, that's the most recent one. this is so incredible about the j be situation is it j b s. originally said that they had confirmed these were russian hackers who had done this well. now if you look at the terminology that's being used, they're actually saying russian speaking, that can mean a whole lot of things and but, but it conflicts, right? it comes back to this idea of, oh, is russia doing? this?

is bodamer prudent pulling the strings? he actually hacking g. b. s. or is it someone who is either russia nationality or even russian speaking? well, i mean there are ethnically chinese people who can speak absolutely. russian. i think a lot of people in ukraine who configuration as well. i think i know some are things that speak russia, so i'm just saying americans, perhaps yes, maybe just perhaps now a question was posed to the president in connection to the j. b. s. ransomware attack about whether or not he believes that putting himself was, was testing and testing president violent. what do you make of that theory? is there any, any there's, there's no gravity to that. there's no reason to think that that's the case at all, but it fits perfectly into a media narrative, right? because the questions kind of thrown out at the end. do you think putin as testing? oh, is this a softball? you're saying? well, it's as he was walking out of the room, right. so he's walking out of the room and the reporter. yes. how do you think it's

testing you and? and for them by turns back and kind of smirks and says like, he wouldn't test me. but the thing is just, it's all this, it's all the show right, show of, of, i'm tough and he's trying to get to me when there's been no evidence whatsoever that the, the colonial pipeline attack, it was done by a group called the dark side, right. which is people who aren't even in russia, that we know are there just in former soviet countries and a russian speaking, j b. s. in that situation, it's not necessarily coming out of russia by this group that they call re eval, against like evil with an are reborn. and they're apparently also russian speaking that we have, we don't even have a geography for where they're located. so it, but it fits into that media narrative brush bed. and it's always trying to harm us . right. well, what do we know about who actually is committing these crimes? i mean, i mean, where are they actually from? if it's not specifically russian, people are russian state actor. i mean, are they,

are they an asia, do we have any idea or did you have an idea? if you go back to 2017, there was a company that did a basic look at cybersecurity hacks. and what countries are most responsible for these people within those countries, i should say not to mention it states, but people within those countries where do they originate from china? is number one might by far with foreign above everyone else. second blaze, the united states about 17 percent come from the united states and then turkey, and then on brazil, and then russia. so wow, back in 2017, only about 4 percent of all of these attacks were originating in russia. far more originate in the united states and the vast majority. you never know that based on the mainstream media real quickly in light of these latest revelations about the danish f. e. working with the n. s a here to spy on the u. l. i don't the u. s. do you make any distinction between that kind of spying and cyber hacking? well, listen, that kind of spine which we referred to as espionage, right?

is actually far more dangerous. so there is a case of the solar winds case in which us agencies fi agency said that russian state actors had gotten into us software and were able to spy on us. okay, that's not ransomware, that's fine. that is much more destructive. the u. s. does this all over the world? we know they've done it in the we know that they've the n s a tap the phones of world leaders, right? it's much or serious then some hacker getting into the ferry that takes you back and forth to martha's vineyard and saying i want them bitcoin to turn it back on. these are, those are much more serious instances. but there is a distinction between ransomware and cyber warfare. the u. s. again is heavily as a government in cyber warfare, not in ransomware. cove. in 1900 conspiracy has been upgraded to a fringed theory by a leading us newspaper. the washington post has changed its take on republican claims. the virus began in a chinese lab with the white house suggesting that may have actually been the case

. we pulled, that comes after president biden launched a probe into the possibility that the pandemic did begin in the will hon. institute of iraq. the post has also now diluted the phrase debunked 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 u turns. 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 that 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 we coming from. and the reality is, we don't yet know how coven started. we spoke to political satirist,

ron unplug calling. he says the incident expose is just how much corporate media 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. chris, some details have emerged of how bodies donated for medical research in france are being used or to show ben ski has more now on corpses being sold for military experiments and crash tests. it's new or tale that many thought could become any grammar in 20. 19 the meds that the bodies that have been donated for medical research had in fact been left to decay in unsanitary conditions here. and 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 was still, it was revealed, whole bodies limbs had been sold to private companies for a price. now in the latest finish to turn its b confirm the somebody were told to act as crush me. these allegations had been made previously, but now there was 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. 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 disarray because no one was informed. it is necessary, the doctors who 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. the 1st thing, but the 2nd thing is that there is a market for bodies. there was so they will use it is an abomination on 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 years for these for tests. so

today the french oh me. including to observe what happens in a vehicle when it hit a mine. you pick your hobo system personal wishes were not taken into account. there were people who answered militarist. imagine their body has now served 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 and human. it's like a personal thing. i give my body for the in turn on the medical students to practice on. i'm become good doctors in the future to realize that these bodies were using a tank explosion. for example, i can understand what damage the explosion made for the body. it's just horrible. the car 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 here in prongs. a government report in due this month is expected to recommend better supervision of the donation of the clients. but that, of course, will be little consolation for the families who have already given their bodies for medical research, geology, minsky or t. paris. there's outrage in italy after mafia boss, and known as the people slayer, was freed from prison this week. giovanni bruce guy 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 brisco record was one of the state's most infamous murders. the assassination of top mafia, investigator, giovanni kong in 1092 falcons, a car was blown up, killing him,

his wife and 3 policemen. we spoke to the partner of one of the officers about the mafia dance, release him normally metal equity. he's now 3 men 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 did not know the truth. so why he no free, we have never sought 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 antonia's wife and mother of his children, i'm resentful. however, the thing that infuriate me most is that italy does not make its outreach public. i think all of sicily should take to the street, because he did not just ruined my family. he ruined the whole sicily. after his arrest of bruce got turned to inform him which led it to

a short and determined prison. here is how people in sicily reacted to the news when 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 of trans. i thought it prints ok. i think it's unfair, especially for the victims. but unfortunately the use of collaborators to ruth 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 coming down 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 say to continue investigating and make this criminal talk almost meaningless. that town campaigners have described, a new e u tax transparency law. it's an attempt by brussels to fight tax avoidance, by big multinational companies, while makers say and targets large corporations with an annual income of more than $750000000.00 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 on public country by country reporting is not real public by country reporting. why? because he doesn't call her for the country, although peroration of the. com finance that i've present you. and in addition to that, adding these kind of information for only a limited number of countries would give her ever really need me to feature of the structure of a company. and this can even be misleading for her research for purposes, but also for 40 miss torres 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 e. you tax havens like island luxembourg, and the netherland oxfam again says the law can be easily circumvented if we need me to tools. so it will be useful to add more transparency on new tax

savings. but 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 or avoidance of corporation. right? that doesn't for me, i'll be back with more news and let's say 34 minutes. you're watching r t international the the hey, will kick off summer solutions every summer we talk about the solution. and instead of drawing on the problems, you know we've got answers. we've got pollution i

met to my local bank and obviously wanted to get up now because you guys are not going to the the up in the kitchen table out them out. i gotta get my don't get a get. we'll put it on the show to wait for the meeting. be really lucky then this is me. god. to bye bye little bye. now. bye. and then you

guys are a lot of the man why or why not on the we're segregated all along my social class. last 5 people though. also covered by 1st if you're born into a 4 family, you're born in your minority family. if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your lives, chances people die on average. 15 years old, you born a generational poverty. it's a, it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. me calling to mackenzie works well. people don't

like to use the word inconsistent. they like to say, oh it's, it's amazing. in comprehensible mysterious i say it can't be quite right. and this is what direct says, this is what i just was reading. i me greetings and salutations. welcome one and all. yes, my friends, it feels who feels really good to be back on your television and mo bile screens and boil boil boy, look at all the fun frolic may hammond devastation. i've come back to israel versus palestine. republicans versus democrats. democrats versus progressive is rich versus poor. man versus earth from birth vs as well. basic reality.

how we look around the world. we got chemical fires on cargo ships. officer elonka, we got president joe biden promising over $750000000000.00 of the us war machine. and unicef is now reporting that across the world, about 1000000000 children are multi dimensionally poor, meaning they lack necessities as basic as nutrition or clean water. but despite a world on fire, apparently the real victims in this world are the poor huddled on born masses. no, i'm, i'm not talking about the debate over abortion and roe v wade. no, i'm talking about this article from bloomberg business week, sporting this rather incredible headline asking us to quote, spare a thought for the billions of people who will never exist. yes,

peter coy, the economics editor for bloomberg business week is now apparently asking us to consider and more in the plight of human beings who are never, ever going to actually be human beings. in the article coil, immense billions of children are never conceived. how real is the loss of a life that never began? is the re right to exist? is there an ideal size of the world population? these related questions become more pressing as population growth slows. and while the article goes on and on, delving into the deep philosophical battle over how many people should exist at any given moment, it's that last line that i quoted that kind of gives away the gag world, population growth flows. and that my friends is the rub you see is birth rates decline and more and more of my millennial gen and gen the brothers.
