i'm with a green light rubel gas payments by countries functioning, russia. i think the blinds will end. they don't comply with russia as ministry of defense release is a legal document pertaining to show you train inquiring about the aerosol spray capacity of a turkish made drone with moscow. continuing to claim that kids thought to deploy biological weapons with the help you with russia invites the u. s. the under secretary of state to under president sun to explain the funding of bio weapons labs in ukraine. moskos representative to be international chemical weapons. what most folks say russia will seek an

international investigation into the matter as we receive documents testifying to the danger spanish by the pentagon on the territory ukraine, particularly the creation of biological weapons. a very disturbing picture is about with i think, continues in the don't yet. pretty of mario. paula's forces work to push the remaining ukrainian, neo nazi groups from this with thanks for joining us this hour. it's 8 pm here in moscow, and this is on the international with the latest world news update. and a lot of my putin has explained the new mechanism for countries sanctioning russia to pay for gas in rubles. i think that contracts will be considered void if they

refuse. blue book isn't chris cutler's. i have signed the decree establishing the rules for trading russian natural gas with so called unfriendly countries. the counts a parties of these countries will be required to open rouble accounts in russian banks from which gas payments will be made. if such payments had not made, then we will consider this default on the parts of the bias with all the ensuing consequences. if we're not going to do charity work here, let the goza last the will in lower latimer putin's executive order basically sets out new conditions for russian natural gas sales going to on friendly countries. these are european nations that have put sanctions against russia. these countries now have to send euro's which is the currency is stipulated in their contracts to a special account in an unsanctioned russian bank. the bank isn't going to take that. those euro's and buy roubles on the moscow stock exchange and, and take those roubles and put them back in the account. so these companies can

fulfill their financial obligations. vladimir putin says that if those accounts don't have enough money to pay their bills by april, 1st, these already existing contracts are going to be considered no and void. now, in his recent statement, the russian president also said that the u. s. is trying to take advantage of current global instability. he said that by the you with the u. s. trying to basically capture the european energy market with it's much more expensive, a liquid natural gas. it's putting europe down a road of d industrialization. what's douglas and what he said, so sure, the u. s. will try to capitalize on the current global in stability by attempting to move your po for to expensive american liquefied gas as a result, europeans and not only forced to full count more, but to also undermine the competitiveness of their companies with their own hands. by removing them from the global market books, don't the europe, this means large scale de industrialization, the loss of millions of jobs,

and addressed that decline in the standard of living of its citizens who received. this is the price, the ruling western elite sir offered to pay people for their ambition, which i mean for the economic war they're trying to unleash against russia or haven't leashed the solo discussion. now, earlier this month, putin 1st said that unfriendly countries are going to have to start paying for russian natural gas in roubles back then. that statement was met with defiance by a number of european countries, and now is no exception either. both germany and france have said no to paying and roubles contract to contract. contracts are based on euro's and so we will continue to pay for energy in ports and in euro contracts. the contracts and contracts in euro's must be paid in euro's, and it's also important to note that just last week, the estonian prime minister and one of the former us ambassador is to russia, said that russia should be penalized for its military offensive in ukraine. they said that russia should continue to supply western european countries with natural

gas, and that the recipient countries actually should hold their payments in escrow until the military offensive. and ukraine ends now, obviously, with this recent russian statement, any such plan like that is going to have really bad effects for europe when it finds out low. now in class life accounting, can i still a former austrian minister of foreign affairs? he's joining us from funds. thank you for joining us. we really appreciate your time. i karen, what do you make of the russian president's latest steps when it's the materializing of an announcement that they faxed to last week wednesday, and he announced that there will be one legal. i can find the criteria and here we are. so apparently it starts not as of friday, the customers will have to make deposits in the accounts and yet the clock is ticking. as you say, do you think europe will agree to the new conditions or will it continue to continue? is present stocks?

what from what we can gather from the statements and the most recent statements today on the location of the gentleman having with and i'm sorry, it was the frenchman is the economy with his colleague and brilliant. so the time the european union, paris and berlin have already stated, know we will continue to currencies that we have concluded to contracts in. but it remains to be seen. what will then happen whether this will lead to either an embargo by the customers the same. we are, we will not a regime or whether there will be a supply stop. we will see it a, it really depends on what to will will physically be done. and of course, if europe turns down versus proposal, how will this affects your pain living standards and businesses to thank well,

it is a crucial issue. and the statements by government officials, one thing, the other thing is of course, what people are already doing. my own initiative for buying supplies more than it's maybe needed are allowed even by some supermarket. there's a huge discussion in germany about that. living standards will not go on economy a day go on germany, we that there we will have to lower our living standards as even the risk of in toleration. so all the statements and, and the debate are there for speed limits i discussed. i don't think that they were really compensate the deficits of energy and the industry is the voice that is the most urgent one.

and the most precise one, because of the gas applies a 1st and foremost for the industry that households come next about it's all about natural gas supply for the manufacturing. and that goes from fertilizer petrochemical industry, into the automotive industry, which is the most important industrial branch of germany, x 14 industries. so without natural gas supply, it's not only about freezing or not freezing, as some voices have been claiming over the last few weeks. it's really about how can the industrial manufacturing still be done? it's been suggested by some western officials that they will continue to use washing gas, but not pay for it. is that even possible?

well, i think sarah, rushing officials and today children chris and put in a have said that russia gas supplies are not for free. it's not the charity it's, it's business. but of course, what could happen if i'm a single out to talking to you is what we have seen in the case of iran between 20122015. when the right a very our sanctions are we saw a lot of battery. we saw a lot of other the wise of doing business and then richard comma. and there are always ways in case of meet up to the way that some sort of parallel market or all it lacks market maybe even might be established. that has been the case with rain yet, oil and gas supplies. now your round can be compared to russia because you're

speaking of that much, much bigger while you in the case of the russian export. we're speaking of a much higher than ever the case with iran us. there were some creative ideas. call it implemented when iran know 16 from swift can i? so from austria, minister of foreign affairs. thank you very much for joining us and sharing your insight into the matter. we appreciate it. you're most welcome. no rush as ministry of defense has released the lead document sent by turkish defense company t crane in response to kinda inquiring if a drug manufactured by the company can hold and spray aerosols a long distances. companies. what i want to emphasize of the document is dated december, the 15th 2021. but it's essence, is it possible to equip this you avi with systems and mechanisms for spraying aerosol with a capacity of more than 20 liters?

the flight range is such a u a v up to 300 kilometers equipped with containers of biological formulations. a real threat is created of large scale use of biological weapons on the territory of the russian federation. in fact, we are talking about the development by the kiev regime of technical means for the delivery and use of biological weapons with the possibility of their use against the russian federation. see stock human published by the russian ministry of defense is a correspondence they intercepted rural, aquatic, otherwise. nevertheless, it is correspondence between a turkish company which manufactures a wide range of offensive military jones, the by doctor t. b 2, as well as in this case, what they were talking about was the a by a doctor. i can eat you, which is another drone that is manufactured by turkey and the ukranian side. apparently the questions, various questions were posed by the ukranian side. the ukrainian government agency

for export controls and they asked questions such as, you know, what's the maximum range, how far, and how long this drone can stay in the air? what it's payload is, one of the questions was, ah, but it stated, does this drone have the ability to spray more than 20 liters of aerosols? whilst in the air now, did the question is the russian military is asking? what is a reasonable explanation for why the ukrainian military would want to spray aerosols from a military drone? just before you know, as tensions were. mounting, this is against the backdrop of a wide range of uh, united states funded bio labs being uncovered in ukraine. something that russia had been talking about for years. it had it had been ignored for years, the subject. but now we've learned that yes, in the united states as confirm that the various viruses deadly viruses were being

researched in these laboratories. i, earlier we paid attention to the facts of the development in the united states of technical means for the delivery and use of biological weapons. thus, the us patent and trademark office issued a document for an unmanned aerial vehicle for spreading infected insects in the air to patent description. states that with this device enemy troops can be destroyed or disabled without risk to you. s military personnel. there, there has been no odds yet the russian side has requested common for both you crave and the turkish company responsible for manufacturing these drones. this was all this exchanged by the way happened on the 15th of december, just scanned months before the rush and special operation here began. at that time when the united states was openly talking about a russian military buildup and also warning that it would be russia that could perhaps use chemical weapons if you great. again, no answers for why ukraine would want the spray aerosols from military drones.

moscow said it plans to invite us under secretary of state victoria newland, and the u. s. presidents and hunter biden who russia claims was financing by a laboratories in ukraine for explanations. now children, as he earlier the chairman of the state, duma, instructed our international committee to begin the procedure of preparing an invitation for explanations from u. s. officials and actually these are mrs. newland and bite in junior asked the youngster during the meeting, yet as i said, special working groups will be formed to prepare evidence. the commission intends to involve a wide range of scientific experts after which a report will be sent to the president and prosecutor general's office. and his conclusions will then be made public, much as ambassador to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. alexander shall again set that russia will seek an international probe into the pentagon's activities in ukraine. i mean,

it does. we receive documents testifying to the dangerous ventures by the pentagon on the territory of ukraine, particularly the creation of biological weapons. a very disturbing pictures emerging that research was conducted on ways to transmit dangerous diseases to humans. through mice, there is a feeling that americans are focused on studying pathogens that have natural centers on both the territory of ukraine and russia. this was done in order to disguise the use of biological weapons as an outbreak of natural diseases. we are very concerned about this, but the united states has not yet recognize this fact. we will see can international investigation into the criminal activities of the pentagon on the territory of ukraine, political analyst, patrick headings and claims, the pentagon as well in bio labs and ukraine, highlights for level of open corruption and us high circles. i think i think it's absolutely incredible. it's a, one of the companies that 100 biden founded, i believe in 2009 rosemont seneca was involved in organizing one of the 1st round

of funding for medic, by auto. this is a biotech or a bio surveillance company, which was a major sub contractor for the pentagon funded bio labs, the chain of bio labs, in fact, in ukraine. it's just amazing that this somehow has escaped really not, not just most of the mainstream media, but also congress as well. i think this really speaks to the level of corruption we have within our mainstream media institutions in the west that for partisan reasons . they won't touch the story, but also it speaks to a potentially a level of open corruption, specifically within the biden family. which should have been the center piece of the election. we're talking about not just conflicts of interest in nepotism, in terms of a sitting vice president getting his, you know, or not, if not getting his son appointed to a major gas company's board in ukraine at the time when joe biden himself was in

charge of the ukraine portfolio, but the fact that even happened while he was vice president and he didn't intervene to make sure that that didn't happen, that, that throws a shadow over the election of the 2020 election. it throws a shadow over the white house in pakistan, thousands have been protesting against what they say is a corrupted government. failing to cope with growing economic crisis as, as the prime minister face is a possible vote of no confidence on thursday, initiated by the opposition, who claims the political time. what has been orchestrated by the west, specifically to the west. and he says he has proof with more on that his, on his policy that he stands by minister faces a vote of no confidence. after a crucial ally, switch to the opposition and tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets and mid 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. i think 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 call them pakistan to support a resolution in the un general assembly condemning russia. but among con, is remaining firm, and is called out washington's bowling insisting pakistan's position over the ukraine. russia war is neutral and that there is a foreign conspiracy against him. jehovah, 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 powered 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 m ran 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? but con, chooses the opposition of enjoying western foreign aid, and in return, doing its bidding. not only wanting him to condemn russia over ukraine, but also give into american demands on afghanistan, following the pentagon pull out. absolutely not. there's no way we're going to do that. he vs, or any sort of action from focus on. it does $2.00 and $1.00 is fun. absolutely not . pressure from the opposition has only strengthened the prime minister's determination to stay on and fight. like just now that the pakistani nation has awakened, we will never be slaves again. we will have friendship with all but no slavery again or talk to

a pakistani journalist who claims that the u. s. is intervening in pakistan, politics in an effort to change the governance. the part time prime minister was adjusting the country live on national media. and he has category clearly stated that he will not allow this conspiracy against team or against the country to succeed in the controversy. is that why pakistan did not condemn the military action in ukraine and prime minister has stated at that time that buckets on has a neutral policy and parties bond doesn't believe in was it was a peaceful resolution of all issues. so the message to the american side was that, that we will not condemn or we will appreciate anything on your directive. and now it is a matter of official conformation. also, data brandy saved on con,

gormet was, can relay the message by us that you should not with the ratio. so everything which is appearing now in park inside the politics is that data who us intervention in park is on for regime change. now back to the battlefield. as st. 5 in, mary. oh, parliament on yes. people's republic continue as joined russian. donya is force is fund ukrainian, neo nazi groups that remain in this city. ah . but it shows intense fighting as troops and vehicles work to push. nationalists forces out of the city the armored vehicle can be seen firing at a building from which a sniper was believed to be fire and get russian. don, yes, forces separate footage filled by a tank crew. and mario po shows a vehicle firing at another residential building, also occupied by ukrainian nationalists who had set up

a firing position inside me. while the report on phoebe news channel al jazeera appears to accidentally capture the moment uninjured ukrainian militants, the exit a civilian ambulance. the camera pans to reveal would appear to be armed, ukrainian, militants exiting the vehicle clearly marked with a red cross. the camera operator then quickly returns to the reporter is alleged that the soldiers were using the ambulance to avoid being fired upon russian employees of our french china. lottie, france, their bank accounts were banned without any warning, meaning they can't access money, they get for their work. the head of icy france has highlighted that this is discrimination on the basis of nationality as only people with russian citizen ships were affected. our correspondence, shala dimansky has more is due to a decision that was taken by european union earlier this month. it asked the banks to do checks on accounts that related to russians and beller russians who in the

european union to ensure that there was no circumvention of sanction. so we know that own around the 16th and march the units that russians wouldn't be able to hold more than a $100000.00 euros in the account. so the letters that have been sent out to many people across europe are related to that. when it comes to auntie crohn's employees, as we understand this, again was also a check that was being carried out by one bank in particular. this is so c nfl and they said that those checks would have been the can't only being frozen between one and 2 days that we'd be speaking to some of the employees from r t fronts who are still receiving pay despite the fact the food cost was taken off and i just a few weeks ago at $1.00 told us that he was in complete shock when it happened to him that the district, 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 lists. oligarchs, those who have more than $100000.00 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. we will be hearing from another french employee, a french citizen who said that for him such action shows that russians are being singled out and found or discriminated, of course, because this is not so there is, they are not big bus is he knows just on pro is a simple employee isn't and as a filler are under sanction. wider czar not officially and

sanctioned. there is a warranty or some people are enforcer. but person, for example, right now, this is a russian. there is no equality. but either this isn't an issue that's just affecting russians here in france. as i mentioned, that you sent out at this, at least 2 banks to say you need to check the bank accounts of all russians and bella russians in europe. and that's been the case with russians receiving letters, whether they live in spain or germany or other parts, the e u. i most of the time telling them that they need to go to the bank and have a chat them so they can prove where they sources of income comes from. i, we understand that in spain alone, some 8000 russian clients. and now having their bank accounts monitor it, it does seem to be though, for the most part that this is an administrative issue that people have to deal with. but nonetheless, it will put a lot of russians on a sense of

a level of fear about what this could mean to them in the future. we have also heard on thursday that working for companies like r t has just become pretty impossible if you live in the u. k. the foreign secretary has announced in new sanctions. let's have a listen to all his trust had to say, britain has helped lead the world in exposing kremlin does information. and this latest batch of sanctions hits the shameless propagandist to push out vladimir putin fake news, a narrative. so what does it mean? well, and just like we sing with the other sanctions, it means those who now on the list won't be able to remain in the u. k, or have leave to travel to the u. k. if they want to do that, it also means that they have assets within the u. k. at these assets will be frozen . so if that's a home, people will be able to access the home. if that's a bank account, they will not be able to access the funds in that bank account. unless trust has said that nothing and no one is off the table when it comes to the sanctions.

meaning that the crackdown or russians may still have fall white scope than expected. ah, was the phobia has been on the rise in the west as moscow's views on a conflict in ukraine have been silenced. and to find that worsted efforts to counsel russian culture, the country is hosting an international ballet festival. dedicated to renounce dancer and choreographer rudolph near a of including a collection of feature films and a photo exhibition ray of who passed away in 1993 is widely considered one of the greatest ballet dances of all time. he was renowned for his role in promoting russian ballet in the west, in defiance of political obstacles during the cold war. early i spoke with an italian artist, at least a settlers, who was a close friend of maria. always has been respected. the value bracelet value of far than character humanity has proved it the best to prove it wasn't

a difficult period of russia on the 60s that the de snuck having lake now live the president had you have in all the situation. it was med, absolutely indifferent. and at that period, russia had ruled with italy together that absolutely values are above everything political to do asian at any kind of sedation, the best market for all europe and the whole place. it was russia, the russians, they were adorned by all europe, dns in tourism, in the, in the known fashion. in everything in cars, illegal at all, the big factories had an incredible prosperity because of russia. now doing these. yes, they do little little problem to russia. that's not real problem. london's royal

opera house is cancelled. performance is by russia's prestige. they fail to cry for that. what, what do you think about the sanctions and the council culture, if you will, of all things russia, not a lot of those 3 ascii until straight, i will tell you that will turn to kill them. you can, can never get it out. and at this because out they're not do they can die for the values. the other people never paper. they do it that grew me. matty, because this is a criminal history and i know my words, what they mean. hey, thanks joining us here in our scenes. national, we're back at the top of the hour, the latest. ah ah ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have

a tree that even foundation let it be in arms. race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very katy killed time. time to sit down and talk with this little when you got dorian, i got doris was no good. i see. no was, would you liam up just illness. and you can say it's of those or more to agreement that is live in. yeah, i'm not sure of video as you use them. will repeated the now bro. see, they've got as either at the do, gets up sheet of principal or the stylish not that i do so on their yeesh. those go bear out lumpy miller at la louis syria, st. louis, are you said lance? you're doing young messages that you'd also get hipaa teacher will give you for a career though, of sudan bureau t obasi and to my fall and that there is spot b u m. o slim did you use.
