direct says, this is what i am writing this in the 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 of northern capital. talking evidence emerges in france regarding bodies donated for scientific research . many were then sold for use and military experiments and crush dock and facility and voice. their anger after mafia don dubbed the people slayer walks free, decades after killing more than 100 people, including one young victim who was gruesomely strangled and then dissolved in assets. we speak to the widow of a police officer he murdered the thing that infuriated me most is that it really does not make its outreach public. i think all of sicily should take to the streets because he did not just through my family and you ruined the whole sicily.

ah . my broadcasting lab direct from studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly going to have you with us. 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 has altered the business environment was the early focus of many of the event. and the 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. hungary, top diplomat gave us his view on the use month long scrutiny of russia's sporting degree vaccine. you don't get a 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 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 delivery from sport 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 hungary, you'll 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 our typically katrinka. while this does appear to be a major landmark in 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 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 shift happens, which has already become the number one financial headline at the form here in 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 is 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 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 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, a 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. 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. also spoke to russia's 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 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 once just to come, many times russian diplomats have been ground isley expelled from the united states within recent years. and how many times in the states has made up so called tale bearer. 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 to respond to the actions. that full interview with maria is a carver, is available now on our team youtube channel. so a busy day at the forum which runs through the weekend in st. petersburg, we will make sure that you don't miss a thing right here on our international th where's the beef was almost on the lips of america after

a cyber attack waylaid the world's largest meet packer at the weekend? j. b s. plants were fully operational thursday, but not before the f. b, i had blamed a russian speaking hacker or he's been swan. so the incident once again illustrates the fake narrative that moscow is responsible for cyber espionage. there definitely has to be some kind of clarity put here because the problem is, when you, whenever you have media talking about these issues and you have volunteered and talking about these issues, they love to conflate russia as, as a nation state with russian actors also with russians, 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 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 oddities 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, a ransomware attack about whether or not he believes that poodle 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 is 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 yells out, do you think testing you and, and president by turns back and kind of smirks and says now like he wouldn't test

me. but the thing is just, it's all this, it's all the show right, show of, i'm tough and he's trying to get to me when there's been no evidence whatsoever that 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 revolt, against, like evil, with an are revolt. 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 is 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 in asia, do we have any idea or do 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 my by far, far above everyone else. second blaze, the united states about 17 percent come from the united states and then turkey, and then 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 in the vast majority. i wouldn't 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 wind 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 e. 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. because in 1900 conspiracy has been upgraded to a french theory by a leading us newspaper. 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 . let me pull back comes after president biden launched a probe into the possibility that the pandemic did begin in the institute of

technology. both 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 woo 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. they said, wow, as tom continent 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 political satirist, run play calling, he says, the incident exposes just how much corporate media self sensors,

just the practice of issuing corrections is, is a good thing. i mean, that just in and 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 objectively 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. gruesome details have emerged of how bodies donated for medical research in france are being used. charlie davinsky has more now on corpses being sold for military experiments and crash tests. it's new or tale that many thought could become any grimma in 20. 19 to merge that the bodies that had been donated for medical research had in fact been left to decay in unsanitary conditions here 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 was still, it was revealed, whole bodies limbs had been sold to private companies for

a price. now in the latest finish, to turn it to be confirmed that somebody was told to act as crash test dummies. these allegations had been made previously. but now there was evidence to show dead bodies were being used in this group some 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. 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 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 we face 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. take you hold on. 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. it's like a personal thing. i give my body for the intent 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, and understand what damage the explosion made for 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 here in prongs 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. shulty being ski, r t. paris. there's outrage in italy after a mafia boss known as the people's layer was freed from prison. this week. giovanni bruce guy had been convicted of overseeing more than 100 murders and has now been released on parole. among those killed was an 11 year old boy whose body was then dissolved an acid. also in brisk as record was one of the state's most infamous murders, the fascination of top mafia, investigator, giovanni falcon, in 1990 to falcon's 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. hello, molly meadow. 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 do not know the truth. so why he no free, we have never sought revenge. we have always asked for justice. today, it is clear, its justice business exist. who would like the state 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 laughter his arrest. bruce got turned informant, which led to a short and determined prison. here's how people in sicily reacted to the news. if

it should turn this on, only 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 enough trans thought. prince ok. i think it's unfair, especially for the victims. but unfortunately the use of collaborators to roots 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 asked the say to continue investigating and make this criminal talk almost meaningless. that is how campaigners have described a new you track tax transparency law. it is an attempt to buy brussels to fight tax avoidance by big multinational companies. lawmakers say that it 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, says 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 does called her all the country over the ration of the com finance that i present you. and in addition to that, adding these kind of information for only a limited number of countries would give her a really limited 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. i research has shown that in some cases, 80 percent of profits are moved around the block to so called e u tax havens like ireland, luxembourg and the netherlands oxfam again says the law can be easily circumvented . it's a very need me to tool so it will be useful to add more transparency on you tuck 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 global sex avoidance of corporation. in this hour and about 35 minutes, i'll be back with another look at your headlines. this is our to international ah, the kicking off summer solutions every summer we talk about the solutions. instead of dwelling on the problems, you know, we've got answers, we've got pollution

the, we're segregated all along my social class. most people don't want to convert by 1st name. if you're born in to a 4 family, you're born into a minority family. if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life, chances people die on average. 15 years old, born into generational poverty, it's a, it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. me quoted mechanics work so well. people don't like to use the word inconsistency. they like to say, oh it's, it's amazing. comprehensible, it's mysterious. when i say it can't be quite right. and this is what direct says,

this is what i was reading on my local bank and the number johnny gave me up the got a car through the wall up the kitchen table out tomorrow. i got to get my don't get a get on this meeting . be brittany lackey, vendors lamp me up and everybody who bought them

by little my know behind me and because you guys are not the man why or why not what i mean. hey folks. next up, i was trying to add another voice, but it's not good for me. i'm going to long island boy coming up john, for, you know, johnny's those the bar rescue. i think it's one of the paramount network. now. it's been few places, but it's now 10 pm on sunday night, and they're in season, the 8. you know, the drill. john goes in, apply some tree to a place display in a little sloppily running, get some back on their feet. this year. he's out as a nice heartfelt thing. people then will absolutely flattened by the last year and some of these idiotic local government co restrictions will talk to john about mar rescues new season right after this on dennis miller plus one.

hey folks. welcome to dennis miller. swab the guys guy, john ta for you now, and he's an entrepreneur, tv personality best selling author and his bus known of course as the, unless you're in that biz, i'm sure other people know i'm on an even deeper level, but you know, as the creator host executive, producer bar rescue on paramount network. i think that coming up on some crazy amount of episodes, maybe 200 that sticks in my head. well as johnny you can see season 8 of bar su sundays at 10 pm on. oh, look at him moving up town to the paramount network. and john, how are you? i'm doing great. dennis. good to talk to your buddy. brother, is it approaching 200 up with just shot 200? which is, you know, is different crazy milestone. i mean, i put i do

a pilot and go home dennis nonetheless. season 3456. so it's feeling pretty good to get it to that level. i love the idea you had man way back when you can see some guys sit a lot of people have a baffled chamber between them getting an inspiration and then realize and then there are other guys who just moved through it. you combined a couple shows in your head right and said wow, i should do that with with bars. tell me, tell me about the birth of the idea. was somebody i was giving a speech to convention and somebody comes up to me and says you should be on t v. so i thought to myself, kitchen nightmares and mission impossible. take the file out with the different agents. i'll drop the ones that each week that i'm going to do and i'll have different experts if you will, each week. and i, i went to a friend of mine who ran tv for paramount because i had been a console.
