was coming from the fact that there is still not all that pretended is exhausted in implementation of being sc agreements. and we should help our partners from across the ocean and from europe. first of all, germany and france will try to influence the current keith authorities and we will be able to find a solution. and now without mister schroeder in north stream to yes, you are now look on the hive. told that already to me the trips in the federal chancellor in early to thousands. we agreed with ukraine over again. which more than president of the crane was mr. coach matter. so log german government was represented by mr. shredder and yours truly was representing russia . we've signed an agreement on establishing an international consortium with the participation of russia, ukraine in germany, and possibly other european partners to establish this consortium that

you put in the red sox and stuff they were. ukraine would be a part of that. so they would still own the part of it. so they would trend the women and it will be developed. they would invest research that they would invest money to maintain this equipment, to develop and then the new leadership of ukraine. mr. you should co renounce from that agreement, offered that. i do see some questions were raised about the safety of the supplying gas tube in europe to germany. back then mr. shredder supported building construction at north stream. why wouldn't you in the string tube and now germany, siblings $55.00 building cubic meters of gas along these pipelines, the gospel, and these gas is delivered or they'll get the original contract on their or the long term contract for 3 years. that are, as i have already sat for they for only 5,

you be able to pick him around and at the peak spot prizes 7 times lower news. now it's about 5 times lower than the spot prices, but german consumers and industrial consumers. and but people that just get gas for their households, they get gas 5 times cheaper from brush out for you. so the german citizen should open their wallet. look there and give you an honest answer. they're ready to pay 3 or 5 times more for the electricity for the heating you because they don't want to do that. they should think, mr. shredder, because that the fruit of his work. and you will ask for his presence in the room with managing bodies self gas from now days in europe. a lot of people are concerned about regular supplies in of rush in energy

resources to europe. when you go to germany, in particular, you wish to use the buddhist putting it that i think if such a decision is made at mister shredder, so it will become a board member and gas pro failure content will be done with the goal is to have an independent expert initiative by the other, who is an honest man, who is a well respected man. he used a few years. so who is, 1st of all, he has a goal to think about the interest of his own country of germany. and then germany and europeans will be represented by a person who could. so they just have influence sources about the decisions made by the board. and we got rumor and he will get all invites information directly from gas for him. so i think it will benefit our cooperation. i think you should be glad about it. be happy about it. i didn't know whether it will be done or not,

but it's shop to get gas from up to independent pundits to meet for shredder, it's for a gas north stream, due to gas pipeline. and it's only natural for it's ready to be in the board of gas from because he was taking charge of the north stream one project and not a string to project he is on the board of the north train to project with me if there are 5 companies that are funding this project, including 2 large energy companies from germany. but those got to and these i'm with northridge too, is ready to become fully operational seen last november. somebody would have to because now it's up to the german regulators. they need to make this decision about using this pipeline to deliver gas. that said it's a nice one hard enough to in minsk, a fine bone. well,

the 1st question was about the men's agreements. everyone must is owner those agreements, including of the government of ukraine, including russia, test germany, and grants. this up is this of the fish hall, but his faith in this political pro, suicide packet. it's critical that everyone make the contribution and one of those contributions start to present of the bills, the legislation that will help us overcome the 3 problems. the 3 issues that i've mentioned before that have to do is these have to do with the status of the don bass with the elections. and with the stein minor formula, the invite, the told that has to be done in a lateral format, but russia with the o. c. and the other guy, this pro says must be supported by everyone. it should not be deliberately slowed

down by any of the parties. that's of course that can be different interpretations of different aspects. but it all, but it is all written on paper. and the simplest ones may be there will be a lot of discussion discussions. and there are good barriers in environments and there are conditions for further discussions. this is the next step. this is what should be done in the parliament or to get coffee looted. good, if not, the parliament, if the russian parliament does indeed to us what was talked about today, that would be a violation of the agreements. that would mean that the process would stop, that would be a political disaster. own leave all of us owner,

the men's agreements and return to the main sc agreements. and there are specific criteria written down there. can we move forward as for nord stream to me, pretty wellness of records from. i don't want to come and the economic a life and the economic activities of a former german official it sustained us. they've got it. and hopefully we know very well what's happening. and also we have been providing gas transit through ukraine to poland and through poland. and we have been using north 31. this is our responsibility. this is our promise, and we're doing that. we want europe to have peaceful development. we don't need another war now like confrontation. but if that happen, this happens. should that happen? all we know is what we shall do in that last we know what will happen and i think

everyone understands what will happen. the everyone knows the political reality of things, exact pieces. that is why i to day and a friendly and what's the critical hopefully to go right to the our goal right now is to prevent that from happening. often among cycling. he designed but we need to show our political leadership as to help cover and work together to make our own contributions to peace. this is our goal, mrs. mika official on dpi. fin gung hebron, kentucky. yes. thank you. ah, chancellor sholtes, i question to you, you mentioned very difficult topics you spoke about russian german ties.

you spoke about the memorial and i don't show, well, there are other matters such as the volunteer case today. another legal process started against him. sometimes it does, i'll so there are cyber attacks. ah, does it include there are many other issues. have you mentioned any of that, sir? how did president put in react? how would you describe the current state of russia, germany, russia, germany, ties, and question to president putin are regarding the troops sir, being withdrawn from the border area. what will happen in the upcoming days or weeks? will you continue to withdraw? troops are, can you comment on the potential invasion of ukraine? ah, will there be, or will there not be an invasion? and another question about sir nato's about ukraine's potential joining of nato. the chancellor sholtes and cigar are the leaders of europe. not said that they are

not a not ready to give guarantees that ukraine would not join nato, but as, as order by it may be there would be some sort of a moratorium, for example that sir ukraine would not join ada for the upcoming 10 years or so because that would be impossible to let him, i'm just following up with her. i neglected to love only because we discussed various subjects as for ah, alex, in the valley, my position is clear. his imprisonment. and if she is, sir, ah, thee the decision on his case? are there not correspond, sir, the legal to the legal standard? but it still wasn't working with me. so i guess i was given the chance to answer your question by or accounts. so the 1st thing about how russia is going to

act according to the plan i used to work with the school. so why does this plan? so it all depends on the development of the situation locally who is going to see how it is going to develop? no one is it, it depends not only on us, if we didn't to him, but we intend to, and we will strive for reaching an agreement with our partners about the matters that were raised by us, just to resolve them diplomatically. so you all are well aware about what this matter. sorry about the security hansing, security of russia, expansion of nato blocker, issues we're going to say moving the military infrastructure due to the status quo of 997, a non deployment of strike weapons next to our borders. it's pretty clear all of it . we are ready to talk about author mattress said years of allusion them might be

no school that are in the response that we received. but those are the priorities priority matters to us. now as for social purposes, what was the 2nd part of your question? i'm just scribbled down something here, but it's asking me and i was talking about when a russian, a troops been withdrawn from the border with ukraine and about the enlargement of nato pass for with throwing troops. i think i've already answered that. as for native wakes pension you sad, the nice thing, beautiful thing, they say that in the near future ukraine one china later. what does it mean?

they say, i mean, those are pretty much the good. we have to understand, why does it mean they say in international relations? yeah, we have been told for 30 years that nato is not going to expand a single inch tober instruction borders. i see what we do, and now we see nato infrastructure right next to our doorstep. and now the already talk about nato accepting ukraine. they say it's not gonna happen tomorrow, but when then, the day after tomorrow. and that's what bullet change for us. historically speaking, i'm sure that nothing at all with lisa. we're still going to keep hearing that ukraine is not ready to join night to know when l that ga us after you. and then they said they want accepted tomorrow to well,

they accept it, operate, they prepare it, but it could be too late for us at the moment. that's why we want to resolve this matter now. yeah, my job right now in the near future you go during the negotiations limited by a peaceful mens, which in the that's the assumption that we come from. and we really hope that our concerns will be putting it should be heard by our partners and taken seriously by our partners as well as the question from our tea rigid. good afternoon. my 1st question is to present yesterday during your meeting with mister lovegrove, you talked about the security guarantees and the rushes response. you said that the prospect for, for the negotiations, does that mean that russia will engage in a regime of long term protracted negotiations with the washington with nature?

and after all, washington rejects the 3 main aspects of what russia is asking for me. and my 2nd question is to chancellor shows she since i represent r t i can on but ask the question about r t h. is there any room for further discussion for a constructive discussion on that? is there any way to resolve the issue with a r t dodge in germany and it's broadcasting in germany? could we continue our broadcasting in germany? and so it would be allowed to broadcast in russia. as for the dodge of ela thing, our cast was asked about this. we talked about it with mister pedal chancellor, about deutsch village in russia. and we talked about to get your message just r t working in germany. i wouldn't want to go into detail now to make it too

complicated, but we have agreed that we will think about how we can resolve this matter as well. that's the 1st thing. and secondly, what about possible lead to know how to go to attract the negotiations that might lead to nothing? that's exactly why. and yesterday we talked to foreign minister and we talked to our colleagues from the defense ministry from the security council. we think about it. yes. we have this concern and this concern is that still be to go with it. but if we're afraid that then it go to asians on the importance of matter, it's to us more security matters, you know, but no one knows that young could be drawn out on subject without any serious ground by our partners. but one way or another,

the decisions will be made that will make our situation worse, or significantly worse, like it happened until now. throughout many years, at the top of the national health career. that's something that we understand because that's something we are going to discuss with our partners. and that's something that we are not going to allow to happen. to miss parker. ok, do the 1st stop the question about r t that you asked? ours is a switch to a legal operator state is there have to be certain decisions made certain asking certain documents sent to sudden

a government bodies and their procedures are so so far we haven't seen any of that and there have to be ah, the have to be certain legal preconditions met. as for the saki talks that men would, as well as $450.00. our positions differ, but it's important that we talk to each other was learn scam plotted hub on his and going to psych, it's important that nato comes with the and whatever that doesn't. and the you answer only care to sort of the messages, the letters they were sent by a russian. yeah. and for some that is important to see this responses. nato in the us does not agree with everything that trochi is asking for. but there are certain aspects of these issues that we are wise could have a discussion about. for now, the most important thing is to avert a crisis to have for a certain corridor to move forward and to have progress atlantic that carina kicked

in minsk up. for example, when it comes to ukraine to the minsk agreements. and the process that we're seeing right now as important, that's good afternoon. everyone should have the political will to talk to each other and they stay him goes for our different positions on the expansion of nato. doesn't contain madison. every one knows that sir, expanding nato is not on the agenda right now. i held that for to come to resign. we will not have to deal with that as long as we remain. ah, i remain chancellor and present button remains president. ah, i don't know if i am going to remain chancellor for ever, and i don't know that if present put in and going to remain present forever. but we need to achieve a political understanding so that some thought of no one has to go against his own

principles. but what that means is that we need to showcase our political leadership to achieve peace in europe. on this is exactly what we're talking about . every time we're discuss europa, discuss security in europe. we discuss transparency, arms control, and so events of admin nato responded to in a positive way, although not in a way that's a russia wanted. but this response by now to should be used to move forward and to showcase our responsibility thinking version of the press conference is now over s ok, we bill a thing for the past. 50 minutes to the russian presidents and the new german

chancellor. we've been holding several hours of talks on a number of subjects, but let's be honest, the main focus for most people in this has been on the next steps with ukraine on that mister putin reiterated. what russia wants to see happen. and with regards to any negotiations going forward, in terms of nato expansion being wound back, he did draw a line in terms of where nato is right now on russia's doorstep and some quite to delicately put phrases from chancellor shoals. so forget, he's only been charged for a couple of months, but it's not like he and mister putin are strangers. they have met in when mister schultz had other jobs previously in german politics for him, he wants negotiations to continue and talks to continue a lot of talk of peace and how to move forward on that. the minsk agreement was talked about a number of times in terms of not everyone on the same page in interpreting what the men's agreement includes. but mister schultz did say,

chancellor shots did say that it was important that the trilateral format of that, that everybody move forward an agreement on that and not least of all that ukraine also invokes legislation in order to be able to recognize what's happening with eastern ukraine and in terms of its status going forward, also mentioned there, of course, what happened in the duma earlier on today with the suggestion that the self proclaimed republics in easton, ukraine be politically recognized. something that could actually be a bone of contention with the united states and nato. now those talks follow a major move from moscow to deescalate the situation surrounding ukraine. it's been our big news all day this tuesday. moscow says it's pulling back its troops from the border. over the past week, western powers have been wanting in pending russian invasion, saying it could happen at any moment. but now the russian defense ministry says its

forces have wrapped up their exercises in the area and starting to return it to the base is the units from russia, southern and western military districts have started loading that heavy hit on the trains, which the ministry says will then be heading back to their garrison's separate units will return on their own. although right now, we are hearing lots of skepticism from both nato and just then as well from the german chancellor expecting to see far more now also on tuesday, the russian foreign minister made his feelings fairly clear about claims of a russian invasion when he was quizzed by reporters, after meeting his polish counterpart, who currently chairs the o. s. c 8 store in mister lab ra. you've said there will be no invasion in ukraine. we'll use them report. it's been said many times and it's been made many comments before. with mute you put your blue journalism. not that bright of the

escalation isn't the way nato secretary general sees things right now. yet insulting berg a little early has been holding a news conference on the upcoming meeting of the alliance is defense ministers. he claims rushes still ready to carry out an attack. russia has said it is returning some troops to their to, to bases after military exercises will completed a you saying then, this isn't true or that you're not seeing any kind of change on the ground. so what we need to see is a significant and during her withdrawal, all earth forces troops and not least the heavy equipment so far, we are not as seen. and the de escalation on the ground or not seen any assign sofa reduced her russian, meet her person. so on the borders of the ukraine. russia has amassed a fighting force in their under crane. everything is now in place for and you

attacked. so that is where we are this, our russia making moves to pull trips back from anywhere near the border with ukraine. some of them, at least, but in terms of nato, in european later still that skepticism doing the rounds. this is our team from moscow. a few minutes from now, we'll catch up with our correspondence to collides all that for you and fully explain how that lie of the land is. this tuesday, the 15th of september, i'm calling right back with your headline news in a few minutes from auditing. the democratic republic of congo is among the richest countries in the world and natural resources, but he cannot mclee it's still one of the poorest cobalt is an essential material in manufacturing batteries from modern devices like electric cars,

mobile phones and computers, 60 percent of the world's cobalt reserves are in congo 20 percent of it comes from small scale mines. unicef figures confirm that in 2017. more than $40000.00 children worked in cobalt mining in the republic to earn a living and paying for schooling. time you use a fancy gadget like a smartphone camera, laptop, and just remember that there's a chance it works thanks to a child hard labor children like john michelle henry at all countless others like them. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk

oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way, or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. and i dream shaped banks,
