10:30 pm
i should tolerate this and will the west except to russia's proposals for peaceful coexistence, another love of stock. thus bessy wrote rob ross. oh, sure, thank you. this is probably one of the most pertinent issues to day. i wouldn't say our initiatives are being ignored. president putin spoke about this at length yesterday at the extended defense ministry board meeting. he said that they discussed this issue during the last video conference with president biden present . biden expressed his willingness to look at russia's concerns while we presented our ideas on possible agreements. one of the draft blueprints focuses on us. russia relations is called the treaty between the united states of america and the russian federation on security guarantees. the 2nd draft treaty aims to address security issues between russia and nato. mister stoughton berg, nato. secretary general tends to make outlandish statements, his room, it to be leaving soon as his term ends this year for the central bank of norway, or at least that's what he's hoping to do. the head of a central bank has to closely and faithfully follow and implement operational
10:31 pm
guidelines. now, going back to european or euro atlantic security run, it relies on a number of guidelines that were agreed on and signed by heads of states. these are political commitments, including its cornerstone, the principle of equal and indivisible security. it's an explicit commitment by heads of states. according to it, no o s c member shall strengthen their security at the expense of other participating states. in the meantime, mister felt him both publicly and arrogantly says that no one has the right to encroach on the open door policy for any aspiring nature member as stipulated in the washington treaty. however, we are not part of nato or a signatory to this treaty. we are signature, it's are much more comprehensive regional framework, the features, the principle of equal and indivisible, security. if mister stilton berg indeed believes that nato members are free to disregard this principle enshrined in the agreement, signed by heads of states than he definitely needs to get a new job. because he's not hand in his current responsibilities well enough. his
10:32 pm
rhetoric aside, substantive responses from our u. s. counterparts have been business like we've had a series of talks, hooting foreign policy advisors to russian and us presidents. we now have an action plan. the 1st round will take place early next year. it will be a bilateral meeting between russian and american negotiators. they have already been appointed and both parties find them acceptable. later in january, we hope to start the talks on the 2nd draft treaty, the one between russia and nato few days ago, the russian president also discussed this over the phone. the president, micron german chancellor, elect schultz, they to expressed interest in the matter. president, putin reaffirmed that will raise the issue of security guarantees at the o. s. c level. so that's the 3 tracks we're working on. moscow and washington, definitely agree. this is the way to go. but i don't see why this approach would be at odds with the interests of any other country in this region. naturally, many people are asking what if the u. s. is that it's willing to discuss a number of concerns we raised in the draft treaties, but some of them are off the table. apart from that they have concerns of their own
10:33 pm
. we are ready to discuss them, but we haven't seen the list yet. while we agreed on the modalities of the talks, we have a lot of work ahead of us in terms of substance. as the russian president said, though we can't wait forever. the threats to us have been continuously growing of the last few decades. nato military infrastructure is edging closer to our borders . we've been deceived. on numerous occasions from spoken promise is to political obligations set out in the russia, nato founding act. so this time, like president putin said, we are pushing for legally binding guarantees only when of course, that the west can discard those just as easily and simply pull out if they want to . like a happen with the abm treaty. the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty or the open skies, treating still legally binding guarantee is a harder to ditch or downplayed than spoken promises or political obligations. we're ready to work together on this, we will do everything we can to convey our position. i hope that our measures to ensure russia's defense capabilities will be a strong signal that they must take us seriously. caucus v esna as if we're still
10:34 pm
nothing less than a week after artie lost the german language tv channel. the german regulator forced off the european satellite service they friend the so as and shut down the channel that you tube that took down our live broadcast channel on launch day later is russia's foreign ministry aware of these developments. and when are you planning any steps to support artie dirt and it's russian journalist shell miss. look almost lucas dorothy. we are aware of the situation. maria's harfers commented on it several times were following the operations of our journalists abroad. very closely . especially given, continues discrimination against them. by the way, archie is still not been accredited at the ls a palace. neither has sputnik president. putin brought his up during his recent call with president macro and express hope that our french council parcel did everything they can to ensure that russian media, including r t, are able to work in france as comfortably as the french media are in russia. we're going to promote the same pros to r t d and any other russian media facing discrimination abroad by finality d, case outrageous. as it was, the german authorities, he made every effort to create
10:35 pm
a negative image of arts in the public and among german institutions. german officials of tried to distance themselves from the decisions of the so called regulators, but the blame lies with them. as you remember, it all started with attempt to deny ot banking services. then they denied it's a broadcasting license. then they're made luxembourg. do the same. now our colleagues in serbia have registered the german speaking artie channel in accordance with the european convention on trans frontier television. germany is a party to the convention so it has to comply with it. but now it looks like they're going to shift the blame the social media platforms to youtube saying is that their discretion? and they rely on some internal criteria and the germans state does not have anything to do with it. but it does, it must have something to do with it. they signed all the relevance agreements and undertook commitments to ensure free access to information. it was not youtube who did this, but the government and wherever such arbitrary act take place is the government that shall put an end to them. as we have repeatedly said, the russian media face this sort of discrimination for years. and of course, we often tempted to reciprocate,
10:36 pm
but until recently were held on to our beliefs that we should not follow suit and go down this path of stifling the media as our western partners do. however, similarly to the issue of russia, security patience always has a limit. so i do not rule out that we will have to respond if this unacceptable situation persists across a nationwide in your, in your, in our broadcast region in latin america. the last just come to power in chile, in honduras, and help power in venezuela and nicaragua, and is the continent learning to better resist u. s. efforts to control it against kinetic of prince bizarre, over the past 5060 years or maybe even more latin america seen major political shifts. so having to the left and to the rights and back. now there's another wave of healthy forces with the nationalist, the gender coming to power is a symbol of a major failure of the so called neo liberal project. as for russia, we've never readjusted our actions to suit the gender of the incumbent latin american governments. our goal is to forge friendship and win win corporation with countries and nations rather than with a particular government because of its political agenda. indeed,
10:37 pm
unlike the united states, we do not see latin america as a test range for proxy geopolitical games. a current use the ministration no longer supports former trump national security, a john bolton's claim that the monroe doctrine is alive. but in practical terms, it seems to me this narrative or this mentality is still very much alive, including in the specific from policies that the u. s promote, we work with every country without exception, including sub regional organizations in latin american, the caribbean, over the last year alone. for example, i've had contacts with colleagues from mexico, venezuela, bolivia, brazil, guatemala, nicaragua, honduras cuba belize in new york on the sidelines of general assembly mitchell, representatives of the central american integration system. i also had a meeting with my counterpart from argentina on the sidelines of the g 20 summit. russia has always emphasized its interest in promoting bilateral ties without a political agenda. as for multilateral institutions and organizations, of course, we will defend like most latin american countries, the values, norms, goals and principals of the united nations charter. by the way, last year,
10:38 pm
venezuela helps set up the group of friends in defense of the un charter. before long it numbered more than 20 members. i'm sure that other countries, including from latin america, will soon join this group. it is a response in a way to attempt by the united states in its close sellers to evade international law and to proceed in their statements, their rationale and their policies more and more often from a rules based world order that they themselves have invented. but these rules are shaped by then narrow circle, and no one shares alternative points of view. since there are no disputes, they can't expect to discover the truth to paraphrase russian same. at the same time, the current years have ministration is beginning to take a slightly more pragmatic view. in particular, they appear to be modeling other actions with respect to venezuela. they're beginning to realize that they will still have to have a dialogue with the government of president maduro who reaffirmed his mandate in the latest election. the same is true for bolivia where genuine democracy has been restored of the somewhat dubious actions of the previous authorities. i'll give you more examples. i very much hope. the realities in a country lat nicaragua will be embraced by washington. russia is calling an
10:39 pm
outside power to actively promote a latin american in caribbean identity as one of the major centers of the emerging poly centric world order. and in that sense, we value our relations as i say, but the regional and sub regional institutions in the region, especially with the community of latin american caribbean countries, their lack. we have established a framework for political consultations during the pandemic. there was a bit of a pause, but now mexico, which is chairing select at this point was to resume such meetings. we will actively support that spirit. we work together in such areas as high tech energy, agriculture, of course, space, and nuclear power. in recent years, we added medicine health care to the list, several countries in latin america including mexico, brazil, argentina, and nicaragua. already received our vaccine production technology and are actively setting up production. our contacts will lay the ground for a broader, more inclusive interaction in pharmaceuticals, healthcare and millison, the bridge on you, mr. garcia, naga, our process found minister, lover of our arab audience, has a of questions for you. i would like to ask you about iran,
10:40 pm
the west is accusing the run of going ahead of its nuclear program, which could lead to the talks breaking down, tara says that instead of re of dialogue that you use engage in this information. what is russia stance on it and what would make the talk successful? guffman more losses, learn new marshals up with new book neuron, but those unfortunately are western partners tried to bend the truth. this reminds me of the 1st question i have answered to day one, nato is fiercely pushing towards our borders. they continue to blame russia, but russian on force is a station completely on its territory. regarding your question, the trumpet, ministration, unilaterally withdrew from all agreements and the g. c p o, itself, and the security council resolution that established it and the keep blaming iran again. and again. first, when trump did this, iran did not take any steps against the nuclear deal obligations for more than a year. only when it became clear that washington is not going to back down to tehran, resort to the provisions in the j. c. p. o, a concerning their volunteer obligations they stopped implementing are only limited their volunteer obligations. and they often highlight that as soon as the u. s.
10:41 pm
goes back to the deal, iran would stop ramping up in richmond and producing more sophisticated centrifuges . this is the guiding principle of the ongoing vienna talks, and that is how the parties see them. 6 rounds took place for able to june, but the u. s. in iran never talk directly. so there was a coordination team from the european foreign affair service. and chinese, russian, french, german, and u. k. delegations, over all of the 6 rounds were worked out the vision, giving us hope that an agreement is possible in the future than we had an inevitable pause due to elections in iran and time needed to put together a new government. how western counterparts were impatient. they wanted to get this done as soon as possible, pushing around to hurry up. but it reminded them that ron was waiting for a year for the us to revisit their stance. iran has lost his patience, it quit the deal and the election came. so it was natural, i did not want to make a fuss about it. leniency was new, but they quickly familiarize themselves with their duties and proved to be professional. they came up with some proposals or western counterparts flatly rejected them 1st, but later they understood the proposals were worse the and this is what we're
10:42 pm
working on now is reputation, not substance. that was the biggest issue. who should be the 1st to say they are ready to resume their commitments, the u. s. or iran? iran believed that it was up to the u. s. since they were the 1st to quit the deal . but the u. s. accused iran of breaching the agreement. they wanted to run to make the 1st step, although washington totally neglected its responsibilities. russia and china proposed doing it in think and drafting the joint reproach more plan by european counterparts agreed with us. this is what they are negotiating in vienna. they took a short pause catholic christmas, but the talks will resume before the end of the year. iran has confirmed that if the u. s. on as its obligations stopped, threatening, aroma sanctioned that is compatible with the deal and resolution 2231. iran will comply as well, including enacting the protocol additional to the agreement with the i am on comprehensive safeguards, i believe the prospects of good. however, the guiding principle is until everything is agreed upon. nothing is agreed upon. this means when is good and well thought out solution and the solution is feasible, surface 0 ah
10:43 pm
ah, when you listen to a sequence of tones and you think acts is going to happen, you know, why happen said distinctive breeding responses. engage that are relevant to you, how we experience reward and pleasure. while listening to some people looking this is the kind of music. is it kind of choreographing of our expectation? mm
10:44 pm
hm. ah, we have a process to look for considerably as mr. love rolls, could you please comment on the statement by the french foreign minister shall even, tucker, he won't, the russian authorities have extremely grave consequences if russia invade ukraine . why do you think our western counterparts have opted for another ending string of threats lately? let no food show any explicit material that you should probably address this question to them. it doesn't give me any pleasure, but it doesn't evoke any negative emotions either. we are used to the condescending tone from our western counterparts in this statement showing that they perceive themselves as divine judges, infallible, irredeemably, self righteous politicians. frances repeatedly said that it will pursue a demanding dialogue with russia. that is, they will demand something from us. so that's what they're doing, they're demanding. but in recent weeks, both the president of russia and other senior russian officials of repeatedly touched on topic of so called escalation for which they are threatening to punish
10:45 pm
us. and i think they've been even preparing a package of sanctions just in case just to have it in store. i think social media now have a service like that where a person can buy something to store up. well, i guess our western counterparts believe this approach is applicable in politics as well. we've repeatedly explained what our on forces are doing on our territory. and at the same time, we've raised the question, what the americans, canadians, the british doing well to their offensive weapon systems. there combat acosta. and right at the russian borders, specifically in the baltic states, what their ships doing in the black sea deviating significantly from the rules laid down in the montrose convention. we do not get any adequate explanation. they just carry on with threats and more threats. i think our european counterparts should focus on the direct responsibilities rather than make threats about something that does not exist. france along with germany in this case, should make key of implement the minsk agreements instead of trying to distract attention. putting up this smoke stream by claiming rushers escalating tensions and is about to conquer, all of the dumbass or parts of the dan basil. all of ukraine must. it's obvious,
10:46 pm
just as the lens in his regime keep hammering the same points about crimea for dear life. that wasn't the case a couple of years ago because a couple of years ago there was still hope that care of with somehow be able to implement the minsk agreements, which is watson and ski promised when he ran for president. when he became president, he realized that he, that didn't want to do it or couldn't do it, or would not be allowed to do it by neo nazis and other ultra radicals. and then to distract attention from their complete inability to implement the mince grievance, they've brought up the subject of crimea as almost the main symbol of ukrainian foreign policy. that's what the crimea platform was all about, and everything else that was happening around it. there's nothing but lip service and hot air and everyone understands it very well, including our western counterparts to keep playing this game. what they have to do in earnest though without playing any games is to make zalinski implement security council resolution 2202. which endorsed the minsk agreements, and they stipulate in no uncertain terms what must be done by whom and in what order, who a key of donates can lugens. what is amnesty special status holding of elections
10:47 pm
under conditions agreed between kia dynette can le ganske and under the auspices of the o. s. e. and only then the ukranian armed forces would, would regain control over the entire border. now, they proposed to do the opposite. you give us the border and then we'll see what happens next. whether we will have some kind of special state as procedure or whether we'll have other solutions. look at the draft law. the president has repeatedly spoken about with both president macro and chancellor merkel. and yesterday, he mentioned it to also leg schultz as well. the draft law on the state policy of the transition period. the ukrainian government has submitted to the parliament and which prohibits ukrainian officials from implementing the minsk agreements. it introduces lustration instead of amnesty and introduce the civil military administration instead of a special status. and of course it doesn't mention any special actions. the parties have agreed upon. they just regain control of the occupied territories as they refer to them. and despite promises by both the french and germans to dissuade zalinski from promoting this law, they have already said legislative process emotion. they sent a query to the council of europe, and the venice commission told them that everything was fine. there were just some
10:48 pm
technical legal issues, but the venice commission did not say a single word about it directly contradict than the security council resolution. so kindly request my very good friend john eve luxury or my german counterparts. i met with anna lena bear book on the sidelines of the i. c ministerial council. she to has shown interest in the implementation of the minsk agreements. so everything favors it now. this will probably distract them from their concerns. contrived concerns about a non existent escalation star to the pony family. barbarossa versus the latter off . if i may ask an additional question, do you personally think the situation might escalate to an armed conflict? how would you ministry respond and such a scenario was notes not sure. so to governor, our philosophy is well known and has been known for a long time and can be found in the lines of the famous song. do the russians want war? we do not want war. president putin us said once again that we do not need conflicts and we certainly hope that no one else is conflict. as a desirable course of action, rush will take strong measures to ensure it's secure to using any means it deems
10:49 pm
necessary. and we would like to send a warning to hotheads. there are lots of them in ukraine, and some western politicians are trying to fuel such aggressive sentiments in ukraine. their idea is very simple, the more irritating fact than our borders. the more they hope the russia will be thrown off balance that does not get in the way of their geopolitical expansion. president to consider very clearly the defense ministry board meeting. we have all the means to provide an appropriate response, including a mil to response to any provocation that may happen around us. i repeat, we would not like to go down this path at all, but the ball is in our partner's court. and even though there is still a great amount of substances work to be done, the fact that the u. s. leadership has agreed on the action plan so swiftly is a positive step coming appropriately just before new year. not perceive money or even of love. the assistant to the u. s. president for national security affairs recently revealed frankly that the united states is actively trying to transform the established world order by forming new alliances, partnerships and institutions designed to work in washington as interests. but how
10:50 pm
much of a threat to these attempts posed the rushes influence and global standing planning? and what concrete steps are being taken by russian diplomats and the countries leadership to prevent a breakdown or decrease in the effectiveness of the u. s. structure. lower than, you know, we're no lucille, this is not a new issue. in the beginning of this interview, i mentioned the united states and his allies stopped using the term international law is said, they claim that everyone needs to respect the rule based international order. this is similar, the u. n. has numerous programs, foundations, special agencies, regional economic commissions were all countries are represented. the distributions are open to all of you and members. but the west is establishing various platforms with the same functions outside the u. n. the paris peace fallen, for example, as lonesome journalism and media freedom initiatives, and many others like safe a cyberspace, international humanitarian law detection or international organizations. let unesco the you and human rights council and others that deal with all these issues. again, universal rules have been established under this umbrella as new and chart is
10:51 pm
a document that contains rules. we have nothing against the concept of rules, but these have to be rules that everyone agrees with how western colleagues i will feel like their interests are threatened in some areas including media, freedom, access to information as cyberspace issues. but so trying to work out rules acceptable to everyone in the universal context of the un would jeopardize the interest that they would like to prioritize unilaterally. you. that's why this is happening. and besides governments, they tried to bring the business community in civil society to these platform that they developed, then your village of doing this, they will shout the main factor that makes these agreements last on the intergovernmental nature. because this is the policy agenda. they are actively promoting and we think that they are wrong in their interpretation of what international relations need to day. my counterparts sex, disabling, conceived. yesterday, i think that american leadership matters of america has to lead and set the rulings in the world to day. and apparently face to face meetings with counterparts in every region of the world, blink and his that they're glad that the united states is once again leading and ruling over them up. he said something to that effect. adding that when america
10:52 pm
doesn't lead one of 2 things happens. either some other country tries to take its place or you get calles that philosophy is selfish. in order to stop this trend of returning to the will take the ship had germany. president putin proposed the summit of permanent un security council members, is not of these nations are more important than others. but according to the un charter, they are responsible for international peace and security. and together, they're supposed to come up with ideas that will help maintain this order. i'm sure that such recommendations will be welcomed by the rest of the international community or blue continued to develop and promote this idea. right now we're doing preliminary work and discussing specific parameters who of course, rush will protect international law by leveraging its role in other international organizations. besides the un include in a, c, t, o, u, ration economic union, c, i s bricks and the s c o. and the g 20, by the way, because this group of 20 to represent the whole spectrum of you and members, it includes the leaning western powers, the g 7 as well as bricks. countries and their allies is a good platform for developing recommendations that would lead to be discussed a more universal format, like the u. n. program for over the viola r m h samosas,
10:53 pm
the district court in the hague. in the m h. 17 trial has rejected the request of the defense to disclose the details of witness as for 5 and provide a transcript of their interrogation to which they stated that the missile of shut down the malaysian boeing was lot launched from the place the investigation claims . when will the decision on this case be announced and hobble russia react to the accusations leveled against it? uncomfortable, douglas lo to shania, we will most likely make a statement when the ruling is announced. for now, we're closely following the trial. first of all, because it's russian citizens who are the accused, of course with it, they have been attempt to create an impression that it's not a criminal case, but a state level problem of some kind as if russia controlled these people is absolutely unacceptable. and these are attempts to use improper means. these are essentially criminal proceedings and we view them as such as understand any impartial lawyer can see that this is the case. have been huge. number of inconsistencies, lack of respect for the rules for a fair trial is with a standard,
10:54 pm
the record keeping and conducting witness interviews. almost none of the witnesses identities are disclosed, including the one you mention. one who'd be able to shed light on the facts that have been ignored by the investigation so far. and the fact that the defense counsel request was denied without any explanation is also telling. i would even, yes. and the fact that the field experiment conducted by amazon tay, which proved that the prosecution's claims regarding the type of missile used and not corroborated by evidence. and fact that our ministry is provided documents showing the missile was manufactured, i think, in 1086 and was sent to a military unit stationed in ukraine and remained there until it was used. all of these facts have been ignored. however, there are other facts, there are more political in nature, but none the less, very convincing. after the crash occurred, the 1st people on the scene were foreign team, a team from malaysia. it was their aircraft than their airline working together with the militia. those who are being called separatist terrorists and so on, they found the flight recorders and the militia handed over them for review. not trying to hide them at all. by the way, i think those black boxes were said to london for experts assessment. and to this
10:55 pm
day, no one has seen the result. second, that is to say the militia acting of their own accord, helping in handling the situation in the 1st hours after the crash that showed up much later. but here's the interesting part. the netherlands belgy was trailer, and ukraine created a joint investigation team a malaysia was not invited. in fact, he was only invited to join the team 5 months later, although the rules of the international civil aviation organization required that the country that owned the plane must be on the crash site from the very beginning . the 3rd factor stalled luc, nor by those who accused the russian states, is that it was russia who initiated the un security council resolution adopted a few days after the tragedy. instructing the international civil aviation organizations organized and impartial investigation and setting up the guidelines for it. since then, by the way, that organ, the nation has had little involvement in the investigation, which was you search by this joint investigation team with malaysia only invited to join by the end of the year. in addition to the experiments, i mentioned the field experiments organized, but until the results of which were simply ignored by the investigation. russia provided raw data from its radar, which will also somehow reject it,
10:56 pm
even though they constitute evidence that is absolutely irrefutable. at the same time, no one has asked you trained to disclose its radar data. the court has accepted gives explanation the right does not working at that time at that precise moment. no one is asking ukraine to provide conversations between air traffic controller and mh 17. the girl who picked up the phone and the control tower somehow gone missing. there are very many questions to be answered again. no one is asking americans to provide the satellite data, which as this thing irrefutably proves that the investigation is correct. investigation certainly noted that the u. s. has such satellite images and this statement was quite enough for the investigation. the list of such absurdity them plate and violations of the principle of impartiality with obvious facts being swept under the carpet, goes on and on. and then when the relatives in the netherlands tried to file a lawsuit against ukraine for not shutting down his air space, it was dismissed as irrelevant to the case. let's take more recent events of this last spring when we saw the 1st wave of accusations against russia for conducting military exercise close to our western border. those were just war games. there
10:57 pm
weren't any hostilities and simply couldn't have been, but still the u. s. officially recommended the airlines to avoid this area. so the u. s. government believe the military exercises were enough of a reason to issue a warning back in july 2014. when everyone knew there was actual war raging on in the dumbass, the air space was not closed. now everyone just keeps their mouth shut about it and says that it has nothing to do with anything that ukraine shouldn't have closed this air space. anyway, the double standards are all over the place, just like in many other cases where the west is involved. oh, news . i was diagnosed with cancer in 2000 lives when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable. i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america.
10:58 pm
florida. one of florida is biggest industries and best kept secrets is phosphate mine in the biggest layer is and $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic janai. there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aqua for a chronic. oh, well you know, i don't want to hear that word poets name, but that's what it is. in 2013 my uncle, our family dog, my brother who is 21 years old, myself and my father were all a 100. wow. yeah, kid a whole wrong and they could play. right. yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually learned that help is more important than should we describe a hard time? what is the zeitgeist, as they say, do we have a sense of direction and purpose?
10:59 pm
we also hear a lot about the desire to return to normal. what does that mean? now, are we actually living in the new normal with allan gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom, transportation, all of them now have i a t type of infrastructure connected to the internet. so
11:00 pm
clearly realizing there's disruptive potentials that those countries can't ignore it because it threatens national security issue. but if we take with nato e u countries, virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but task forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job. in an exclusive interview with the r t rushes, foreign minister says moscow will react to a flagrant attempt by berlin to block our teas. new german language channel after europe's leading satellite provider removes it at the request of the country's media regulator. sergey la rov, also questions the impartiality of the ongoing trial on the downing of flight mh 17
11:01 pm
and eastern ukraine in 2014 pro prosecutor.
