even the theme of the conference reflect that their own competence was the marquis, a declining a you know, i remember the people are as even called the coffers as a western less less says the west itself. is it lou? these own direction, of course, this wall, as there was some newspaper said, might have just to unite the western country. but i did it just for a while. they were paying union and china due to hold talks on friday with ukraine and relations with russia. and it's likely on the agenda. do you think with china refusing to follow the western russia? what, what do you think china that you will agree on? well, china and you of course have a very impulse relationship. basically when we talk about our relationship with you, it means a strong konami tie, which we of course hope well maintain. but he's also something

between china and america, relationships we hope europe will play a neutral route. even this kind of that, so quite agree to power competition. but of course we think he's wrong. that pin countries would take shot. and steve magic guy, rival china is motor rival to european union that we are apart from each other geographically. and we do not export our social system. so how can i be such a rival? i thanks for joining us here in asi and nasa, sharing your in science with this. that's a job. oh, for my senior tunnel in the people's liberation army. thank you. thank you. and pakistan thousands have been protesting against what they say is a corrupt government failing to cope with a growing economic crisis that says the prime minister spaces possible vote of no confidence on thursday, initiated by the opposition. he claims that political turmoil is being orchestrated

by the west, specifically the us. and he says he has proof with more and that his ortiz policy that he stands by minister faces a vote of no confidence. after crucial l i switched to the opposition and tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets, amid accusations that the government is myth, managing the economy that among con, has lash back, saying its foreign hands that are behind the conspiracy to topple him. some of the stooges who live in this country, but being used by foreign forces, do you know who is using them? tell me, ah, a joint statement signed by envoys from 22 countries, including in the you caught on pakistan to support a resolution in the un general assembly condemning russia. but among con, is remaining firm, and is called out washington's bullying insisting pakistan's position over the ukraine. russia war is neutral and that there is

a foreign conspiracy against him. jahiver, we have evidence and i am disclosing this matter. this is the evidence of how we were threatened. i trust you, but i can't tell you all the details because i always try to protect the interests of my country. in the most weak pressure has pound on him on con, and the country has suffered a series of anti government protests. the opposition says his claims of a global plot are more than absurd. if there is an international conspiracy against pakistan, then m ran con is part of that enron con your party members left you right under your nose. do you think that was done by joe biden? tell me, my brothers was that done by joe biden. now it is time to say good bye to him. ran con, are you ready for that? on the corner, chooses the opposition of enjoying western foreign aid, and in return, doing its bidding. not only wanting him to condemn russia ukraine, but also give in to american demands one of gunny stun. following the pentagon. pull out. absolutely not. there's no room with any bases

or any sort of action from august 23rd to until one was fun. absolutely not. pressure from the opposition has only strengthened the prime minister's determination to stay on and fight the plugins. now that the pakistani nation has awakened, we will never be slaves again. we will have friendship with all but no slavery. again. we discussed the political turmoil with pakistani journalist on social sciences professor who both believed that the guy lemme iran con face. it is because if his russia find the policies on the west supposition, i think so far the way things are evolving. it looks like whatever premises bronchitis is correct, because if they can do such kind off to a powerful country like russia, we have nothing in front of them. they can do anything to a prime minister con and is government if they say it's going to be

a huge blow. and of course, the rest is going to do a lot more applies and to come up with other strategies to malign them and to, to damage their position here. if it happens the other way around. of course, in the u election, the west they will try the best to bring a government that's, that's in good terms with the united states spark is on is not pressing a dilemma over the gym. james, just like. busy russian present is facing the and sanctions i have already been imposed against russia. and the purpose of those sanction is to vice of a phase in the same dilemma. now we can get to focused on the performance is to contain and contain j. now, this is the us read. national policy and parties done is studies you can replace at a very important joselle place that play focus on is facing a huge question. burton has expounded its list of sanctioned russian entities

and individuals are being tv, nova, stay with us. they say bold near to the list of companies that own nazi and sputnik according to the u. k. foreign secretary. the moves will help fight this information. britain has helped lead the world in exposing kremlin, does information, and this latest batch of sanctions hits. the shameless propaganda is to push out vladimir putin fake news and narratives as well as clos lived here. surely debowski correspondence in europe now. hi, charlotte. good to see you. and i will, these new u. k sanctions mean i understand that it's not the only problem russians facing. now that's why it will quite simply means that those who are sanctioned won't be able to travel into or to remain in the u. k. they may also have any assets that they have in the u. k. frozen, which means they won't be able to access those funds without homes be able to access those homes. as we've seen with the oligarchs over the last few weeks. and

neither companies, new individuals will now be able to work with organizations such as r, t and also sputnik and staying with issues when it comes to our tea directly. ad there's an appeal, it was being looked at. my sister station, arty frogs. this was appealing to suspension of its ability to brood cost in france despite the fact that it had a license that was given by the me to regulate a hearing funds to do so. that was suspended right by the european union as part of sanctions at the beginning of march at the channel was pulled off and pretty much within a few hours of that happening that band. and despite the fact that i had that license, as i mentioned at all the phone, so i did to take this to, to call to justice the european union that has now rejected that appeal by r t fonts. however, on the front still can appeal that decision again within the next 2 months,

and staying with artifacts. and what's quite interesting is a recent poll here in france found one in 3 who responded to apple. in fact, more than one in 3. actually disagree with the fact that the channel had been taken off. and now we've also been hearing from the phones is director about some of the issues that employees from the company have had since the channel was taken off, including that of russian employees who had a bank accounts blocked. now we've been speaking to one former employee who says he was just in shock when that happened to him that disputes, this is truly an extraordinary situation in early march, the 1st rumor spread that people may have problems with french banks. but we thought that this would apply to people on the sanctions las oligarchy. those who have more than 100000 euros. it didn't seem that it would affect us. one day i saw

on my mobile phone screen that my salary had been paid to my personal card. and after a few hours, the money had disappeared, as if it had never been there. this is not just about archie france, this is an all encompassing problem for russian people in france. there are now entire groups of people on telegram saying they've had similar problems with it. shall we also be speaking to another employee, a french citizen. he said that after such action is really shown that russians are now being singled out, they fanco discriminated of course, because a, this is not so there is a, are not big bus is, you know, it's just on troy's a simple on pro is and does if sheila, a zara under sanction. wida czar not officially and sanction. there is a good a g or some people. and forza, but mercia, for example. right now, she's a russian. there is no a,

a quality. now the banking question here is to set year to general and it says that this was a check in the accounts all going to be unblocked within $1.00 to $2.00 days. but this doesn't seem to be a one off issue. and i say that because across the you, banks will being advised by the blocks regulators in the middle of march that they needed to check all transactions that were being carried out by bella, russian and russian clients now and many customers of banks across europe and received a letter to ensure that there are new large bank deposits, taking place into their accounts. and the idea was to make sure that no russians and better russians are circumventing the russian at the sanctions against russia at the moment. but it does mean that russia's clients, russian clients here in europe, even those who don't work for any state related organizations,

are now under surveillance. and to give you a sense of how big that is just in spain alone. and we understand that some 8000 accounts of russian clients are now being monitored in case there are payments made into them. and however, it does seem as if, you know, this could be a fairly easy issue for many to be able to deal with. if you read that letter that was sent out, basically people have to go into banks and just be able to show exactly where their funds are coming from. but of course, this will still be a huge worry for the hundreds of thousands of russians who live in the you and who may hold bank accounts when he, thanks for that, they thought charlotte dimansky. ah, joe biden has been found to have used a cheat sheet in his latest press conference, as he doubled down on an unscripted message to oust russian. nita vladimir putin is

comments closely aligned with those printed on a small piece of paper which held in his left hand as he spoke. the node showed a question, asking biden, to clarify his earlier remark. the putin cannot remain in power as one has how bite and should answer that he was simply expressing moral outrage. and his words did not mean a change in us policy. but it's not the 1st time biden has been caught with such an apparent sheet. in his 1st press conference, as president several photos, seemingly showed him with notes telling him which report is to call on biden has even admitting admitted to being given such a list. i'll take your questions as usual folks. they gave me a list of the people i'm going to call on. so jonathan associated press, we spoke to you as radio host, john elliot, to say the cheat sheet is not the biggest of biden's concerns right now. joe biden has what we call a stream of consciousness. that gets out

a hand. he says that he's been doing it for 30 years. he says things that are silly, stupid, or wrong, and others, they people scratch their head and say, what, what is he saying? so when joe biden finished reading the teleprompter, he went off script with is insinuation of regime change, which he didn't mean which of course, the united states, the state department went nuts and walked that back and said, no, there's no talk of regime change. we're not wanting a regime change, that's not what we're asking here. that's not what we're advocating on the rising gas prices, which of course, the president really has nothing you can do about it is what it is. rising gas prices and the inflation are the 2 biggest things. bottom line is how much does it cost me for a loaf of bread? how much does it cost me to feed my family? how much more am i spending than i did last year, and look at the price of gas? that's a hell of a lot more than it was for. so those are the 2 issues and issues and they continue

to pummel, is approval ratings. made growing, concerned about gas supplies to u. s. allies in europe, american top diplomat onto the blinking is visiting the north african countries of morocco and algeria in a parent to secure gerry and source natural gas to transit thing. the welcome to the you, as well as he gets algeria to change his neutral stones on the train conflict. i think it's a reality that different countries have different historical relationships with russia. but there are times when one issue emerges, that is so clearly black and white. and in this case of ukraine, a clear aggressor and clear victim that it's important to, to stand with the sandwich with a commit to stand for the principles that have also been violated. principles that should matter to countries around the world, principles about sovereignty. and us once africa and the middle east to step up gas

supplies to decrease the eas dependence on russia, algeria is europe's 3rd largest and gas provider, accounting for 11 percent of the constant supplies. while morocco has the infrastructure necessary, fully efficient delivery of algerian gas to europe, attentions escalated between algeria and neighboring morocco after a former us president trump recognize moroccan sovereignty over the disputed territory of western sahara. we heard from a guest who suspects the u. s. is trying to back track on that decision that seeks to improve times with algeria. the from decision was a bro almost with the international law, with the american founding. the founding principles with nature of the conflict set a very dangerous precedent in the international relations. unilateral decision,

a state that is deciding about the fate of another territory 30, which doesn't belong to which and cynthia arrival of the, by the administration. we have been noticing, observing, gradual shift back to the traditional position of the of the u. s. which was materialized in some declarations by the department of state, but also by the by the white house. but we are yet waiting for the former lead replication of the trump administration decision. and we think that is really, that is the key moon to relocate the u. s, in the, in the, in the impartial and neutron position. you can't really choose a party totally. and you still pretend or hope that you can play a role in mitigating between the 2 parties. in the conflict.

current us policy appears to have been shaped by a 2019 report by a prominent americans think tank the rounds corporation describing ways to cripple rushes, economy and armed forces without engaging in battle. $354.00 pages of strategy on how america can bring russia to its knees. in a nutshell, that's what the 2019 report from the ran corporation is. it weighs up the pros, the cons, the cost, the risks, and it decides what's the fastest way to push russia to the brink. i'm sure it's not the only one out them, but this one stands out, the eerily predicting exactly what we've seen on rival of the last few months. the report presents 3 main lines of attack, money mines and the military started with money, so the economy, the advice hit russia where it hurts oil and gas,

specifically expand us energy production jack, impose financial sanction. jack, get europe to import gas from the suppliers. well, the jury is still out on that one immediately. i don't think we can help and nobody can replace of say this very clearly, the volume that we're talking about 30 to 40 percent of gas coming from russia to europe is not something that can be replaced overnight at needs time. and although the report recognizes that economic suffocation of russia would bring about high cost, boy is not true. ultimately decided, it would all be worth it in the end. why ultimately, although costly, europe could adjust to a complete cut off of russian gas in the medium to long terms. it would also benefit the united states and on those grounds alone should be pursued. moving on to minds, also known as ideology and information. here the report suggest playing on the criminal apparent paranoia about regime change. though off to biden's most recent

example of high brow diplomacy. arguably, it's not so much paranoia as proof. for god's sake. this man could not remain. and while the president late walked back his comments, the report presents a range of possibilities from sparking protests to removing russia from non you and forums to more widely, undermining its image and prestige. broad and credit where it's due, they tried the mass, consolation of russian athletes and cultural figures was one of the bid to kick russia out of the g. 20 a proof of that. ultimately though, the research has decided that staging a coo and russia would be a tough bat affecting the political stability of a country by an external actor is difficult, and russia has a more difficult country to influence than most. so finally, the military pull out of new kill arms treaties check increase the size and frequency of nato exercises in europe. check increase us forces in europe, check deploy missile defense systems to europe. check. deploy bombers with an easy,

striking range of russia check. and ukraine check, while nato's requirement for unanimity makes it unlikely that ukraine could gain membership in the foreseeable future. washington's pushing this possibility could boost ukrainian resolve while leading russia to redouble its efforts to forestall such a development, so make public promises only to go to russia. it seems even present, zelacofsky has realized his country was played here. it is clear that ukraine is not a member of nato. we understand that for years we heard about the apparently open door, but have already also heard that we will not enter there. and these are truths and must be acknowledged. and world report sat, a military approach rest an all out war, insisted the option b capital on the table. most of the options discussed are in some sense escal, atory, and most would likely prompt some russian counter escalation. thus, besides the specific risks associated with each option,

there is additional risk attached to a generally intensified competition with a nuclear armed adversary to consider, this means that every option must be deliberately planned and carefully calibrated to achieve the desired effect. almost all these prophecies came true. so you have to ask is a quin students to derive cooperation which describes itself as non partisan, have a crystal ball back in 2019 may be. but let's just see where round gets its cache. the pentagon, the us army, us apples and national security agencies like to ca, in fact, around 75 percent of its funding comes from the us government. and you know, who counts among its clients, the u. k. government, you, agencies, and yes, nato. like i said, it could all be a coincidence. it could be that these groups just found each other and that, that interest collided. but you have to admit, it's almost as if the rand corporation wrote

a playbook for what's now unfolding day by day. we heard from former marine corps intelligence officers called ritz, and he says, the u. s. government is definitely interested in such studies. and generally speaking, when rand publishes a study of this nature, it's generally because somebody in the u. s. government has expressed an interest in this kind of study. so i think one, yes, you can trust a source and 2. and you can understand that this information a relates to a line of thinking that is prevalent within the u. s. government. when one takes a look at the reality of the u. s. lead sanctions against russia today because of the special military operation in ukraine. it is clear that while the russian economy took a hit and it was suffering that it's recovery and it's going to

a readjust to this new reality. while the u. s. economy and the european economies are, are suffering and may even suffer more because of the divorce between the western russia. so i think this is clearly an example where some academics thought that this might be a good idea, but reality is dictated a different outcome ah, lashes ambassador to italy has found a lawsuit against the newspaper. last tampa over a headline questioning the possibility of measuring russian president vladimir putin. a stamp on one of italy's most widely circulated daily newspapers is also quoted control to see with apparently misleading reporting about the ukraine conflict. and actually miss labeling the victims of ukrainian military strike in done on don. yes, as residence of kiev. it's a nice paper in the court for the night on flooding a patient even by nato

u. s. l e for says that could amount to a crime in and of itself that's according to russian on past, a sick, a razzles, who expressed hope for an unbiased investigation. it don't cause such headlines in store or to to newspapers go far beyond the framework of not only journalistic ethics, morality, but also the law. the italian criminal code provides liability for provoking or glorifying crimes. i is the person who filed the lawsuit with the prosecutor's office and accused of trying to attack freedom of speech in italy. i proceeded and continued to proceed from the fact that freedom of speech, including the word of any journalist, also has responsibilities as it is distributed among tens of thousands of readers in listening. and here, the question is not about an attempt to infringe on someone's freedom of speech in italy, but whether the statement of this journalist and the editorial staff of this newspaper correspond to italian law, their accusations against me made me think that they're afraid of their own justice,

italian law should regulate the situation. i have been working as i'm bassett, italy, for many years. i continue and will continue to develop bilateral relations between us states. with the help of my colleagues. thanks for joining us, asi international will be back in just a few minutes, but the latest fe them for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great?

with a gas contract with russia will end if countries don't comply with new payment terms as well. so turns to its national currency and gas trade with its partners with fighting continues in the city of mario, pull its forces, what to push the remaining ukrainian, neo nazi groups from the city. and is there a report to the dental a cap to you training? and so just using a civilian ambulance is military transport. talk french bank locks,
