to sit down and talk with ah, vladimir putin, green light's rouble ghast, payments by country sanctioning russia. i think supplies will end if they don't comply with the news. with russia's ministry of defense relief leaked documents pertaining to show ukraine, inquiring about the aerosol spray capacity of a turkish made. 1 drone with moscow, continuing to claim the key of school to deployed biological weapons with the help of the us. russia invite the us the under secretary of state on the president's son to explain the funding of bio weapons lapse in ukraine. representative to the international chemical weapons watched, oh sais, russia will seek an international investigation into the matter as we received documents testifying to the dangerous benches by the pentagon on the territory of

ukraine, particularly the creation of biological weapons, very disturbing pictures. and magic a by thing continues natania, city of mario poland policies work to push the remaining ukrainian, neo nazi groups from this disease. a warm welcome. this is our to international with the world news updates good to have a with us. and vladimir 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 luba business good colors. i have signed the decree establishing the rules for trading russian natural gas with so called unfriendly countries. the counterparts of these countries will

be required to open rouble accounts in russia by one yet from which gas payments will be made. if such payments had not made them, we will consider this default on the parts of the bias with all the ensued. consequences if we are not going to do charity work. hit vladimir putin's executive order basically sets out new conditions for russian natural gas sales. going to unfriendly 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 then 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 instability 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. to europe, this means large scale de industrialization, the loss of millions of jobs and addressed decline in the standard of living of its citizens. this is the price, the ruling western elite sir offering to pay people for their ambitions for the economic war they're trying to unleash against russia will have unleashed. now, earlier this month, proven 1st, said that unfriendly countries are going to have to start paying for russian

natural gas in rubles 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 contracts. contracts based on euro's and so we will continue to pay for energy in parts and in europe. do you want to do it? there may be a situation in which to morrow, in very particular circumstances, there would be no more russian gas. so it is up to us to prepare for these scenarios. we are preparing them with robert while taking care to respect the principal of european solidarity. and it's also important to note that just last week, the estonian prime minister and one of the former us ambassador 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 in ukraine ends. now obviously with this recent russian statement, any such plan like that is going to have really bad effects for europe. literally i spoke to ex austrian foreign minister, karen can i so he told me that a reduction in gas supplies would hes european industry the time the most european union, harrison berlin have already stated. no, we will continue the 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 saying we are, we will not a regime or whether there will be a supply stove gas supplies a 1st and foremost for the industry and households come next about it's all about natural gas supply for the manufacturing, and that goes from fertilizer petrochemical industry. in 2 of the

automotive industry, which is the most important industrial prom shaw germany exporting industry. 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. but i find it has all the release of what's being called unprecedented oil reserves over the next 6 months. that says, u s. consumers are up in arms, i saw in prices at the petrol pump when i'm joined live now by i'm on the seller, my international oil economist and energy expert. thank you very much for joining us on the program. now joe biden says his country is going to release an unprecedented amounts of all from reserves to make up for sanctions on russia. but will this make any difference to prices?

miss is alan a it's nikki here in a month ago. can you hear me? ok. okay, well seem to be having some technical difficulties connecting with our guest there will try a bit later in the program to to get that fixed and get it back for you. no rush has ministry of defense has really se lease documents sent by a turkish defense company to ukraine in response to key of inquiring. if a drone manufactured by the company can hold and spray aerosols over long distances, companies i want to emphasize that this document is dated december, the 15th 2021. it's essence. is it possible to equip this you ivy with systems and mechanisms for spraying aerosols with a capacity of more than 20 liters with the flight rain to such a u. a v of 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're talking about the development by the care regime of technical means for the delivery and use of biological weapons with the possibility of their use against the russian federation. the stock human published by the russian ministry of defense is a correspondence sais, intercepted rural, aquatic otherwise. nevertheless, it is correspondence between a turkish company which manufactures a wide range of offensive military jones, the by dr. t. b 2 as well as in this case, what they were talking about was the, ah, by iraq dot, i can ici, which is another drone that is manufactured by, by target and the ukranian side. apparently the questions, various questions were posed by the ukranian side. the ukranian 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 each stated, does this drone have the ability to spray more than 20 liters of aerosols whilst in the air? now the, 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 uncover in ukraine. something that marcia 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 is confirmed that, that various viruses deadly viruses were being researched in these laboratories. prior. earlier we paid attention to the facts of the development in the united states of technical means for the delivery a new supply, logical weapons. thus,

the u. s. patent and trademark office issued a document for an unmanned aerial vehicle for spreading infected insects in the air . the patent description states that with this device enemy troops can be destroyed or disabled without risk to u. s. military personnel. there, there has been no answer yet. the russian side has requested common for both ukraine and the turkish company, responsible for manufacturing these drones. this was all this exchanged by the way happened on the 15th of december, just scant months before the russian special operation here began. and at a time when the united states was openly talking about the, a russian military buildup and also warning that the eat would be russia that could perhaps use chemical weapons in ukraine. again, no answers for why ukraine would want a spray aerosols from military drones. a rush as ambassador to the organization for the prohibition as chemical weapons alexander shogun said that russia will think an

international prey been to the pentagons activated in ukraine. i mean, it does. we received 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 passages 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. while among documents when east on thursday by the russian ministry of defense were sunday, claim to prove hunter biden's involvement in ukrainian bio labs. let's go live now . it's well corresponding. caleb moore, but he's in new york for more details. caleb, good to see you now. well,

can you tell us about these documents? well, the russian ministry of defense has come forward with documents that essentially show that hunter buys. who is the son of president joe biden was involved in providing the finance, so black and the beach, as well as met by ota, could be involved in setting up these bio labs in ukraine. now they've come forward with this information previously. they've said they've had this information now they are coming forward with emails that are said to be obtained for 100 biden's laptop. here is what we've heard from the russian ministry of defense about the proof of the side of the president united states and his involvement in financing these bio labs. you put down the contents of the letter show, the hunter bought and played an important role in creating a financial opportunity. pathogen work in ukraine. the published correspondence in the case of the true goals of the pentagon in ukraine are far from scientific in

one of the letters the vice president of method by alter, noticed that the company's activities will be aimed at ensuring, quote, the cultural and economic independence of ukraine from russia, which is rather strange for biotechnology company. now the russian state, duma is conduct conducting an investigation into this issue as well. and they have at this point, stepped forward and asked for comments for joe by president of the states as well as from victoria newland, the u. s. under secretary of state. now they've asked them for their comments as this investigation into the very serious matter of biological weapons, potential plan, biological attacks. other other very serious matters proceeds. russia is trying to get to the bottom of what was going on with these bio lab. they've asked for comments, years from the russian state, duma much much aaliyah. so the chairman of the state duma instructed our international committee to begin the procedure of preparing an invocation for

explanations from us officials. these are mrs. newland and biden junior figure on the now the investment fund run by hunter biden was called rosemont seneca, and it appears that data that was acquired from his laptop indicates that rosemont seneca, his firm, is investment firm, was involved in working with metro by oda as well as black and each to can, you know, to basically facilitate the, the setting up of these bio labs and ukraine. now the united states and boys in united states have insisted that these bio labs were not for military purposes. however, the fact that they were financed by the pentagon and the pentagon. ready involved in them they and the fact that we have victoria newland u. s. under secretary of state, testifying on the floor of congress and a congressional investigation. irrational hearing now that she was worried about russia getting his hands on them. when asked in response to a question,

asked about whether or not ukraine had biological weapons indicates that there could have been some military purpose. there. russia has quite a bit of information they said that goes against this narrative. we're hearing from the usa that these were harmless, meaningless, non military, biological research facilities. so it's quite a serious matter. now it's important to keep in mind that for a long time the united states mainstream media would not highlight and refuse to even discuss hunter by the laptop when you're buying laptop. first surfaced during the lead up to the 2020 presidential election us media band. any discussion of the story on facebook and twitter would not allow the story from the new york post to be shared. and it was basically declared that because they said this story was somehow russian, this information i wasn't allowed to be part of the date in the election. the fact that biden had a laptop with all kinds of scandalous information, and now we have the new york times stepping up in admitting that indeed, contraband laptop was real. and that hunter bide laptop did have some scandalous

contents. so now a story that was dismissed is just information is being acknowledged pretty widely in the united states as being true. so russia stepped up and said that this laptop contains information related to these bio labs and the potential danger to russia. so at this point, it seems that the u. s. media that treats with skepticism, anything related to russia, i is having to admit that russia has been saying quite a bit of true things. troops that us leaders perhaps don't feel comfortable acknowledging despite their basis. in fact, keller, thank you for those details. i thought he's caleb more pam. now political analysts, patrick having thing claims the pentagon, rolling bio labs in ukraine, highlights the level of open corruption and u. s. high circles. i think i think it's absolutely incredible that one of the companies that hunter biden found it, 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 subcontractor for the pentagon funded bio labs, the chain of bio labs, and 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, you know, 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 much, that throws a shadow over the election of the 2020 election. it throws a shadow over the white house. i think crane is street fights, a marianne pulling the don. yes people's republic continuous joint to washington. it was it's fine to train you near nasty group to remain in this is a 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 as a building from which a sniper was believed to be firing at russian. don yet forces separate footage

films by a tank crew in mario po, shows a vehicle firing it another residential building. also occupied by ukrainian nationalists who had set up a firing position inside me while a report on t v news channel out to 0 appears to accidentally capture the moment uninjured ukrainian militants exit a civilian ambulance. the camera pans to reveal what appeared to be armed ukrainian militancy exiting the vehicle clearly marked with a red cross. the camera operator then quickly returns to the reporter. it's alleged . the soldiers were using the ambulance to avoid being fired upon as got back to our top story now joe biden, or during the release of an unprecedented amount of us oil reserves in the next 6 months. let's discuss this with our gas mondo solomon international oil economists and energy experts who we lost earlier and many thanks for joining us on the program. mr. seller may be a dr. seller may. joe biden says his country is going to release an unprecedented

amounts of oil from his reserves to make up for sanctions on russia. but do you think it will make any difference to prices when the previous time he at least $15000000.00 better his last year? it had the global or markets and prices ignore it completely. then in january, the instead of nation at an energy age and she also announced the release of $60000000.00 barrels from the inventor is of the or is she the countries? again, the market was indifferent to them. now president by then is trying his hand again by releasing almost 1000000 barrels a day as it was reported. that might have slight effect on the prices,

but it will cycle you kelly at lee. it's the tension and the tie. this in the market to some extent for president. i didn't say so really. it will be for 6 months. what will happen after that that we'd, that we don't know. and anyway, it depends. the impact on the price will be on the way the oil is re lease. will it be $1000000.00 daily, or will it be how familiar or a quarter of a 1000000? so all in order to fill unknown to us, but the market will sell soon and the price is where it is one quarter being. now i am ass official, is now saying openly that the dollar could lose its dominance. let's just take a moment and listen to what the i m s. had to say. the dollar would remain the major global currency even in that landscape. but fragmentation at

a smaller level is certainly quite possible. so much i'll take on last thing. do you think we will see a new financial system in the near future with regional currencies expanding into international trade? it's already happening. i mean, when the petra one was launched in march 26, 2018, immediately became a great success. furthermore, when you, when the russia decides to sell $8000000.00 barrels of oil exports in, reuben, that is taking almost $300000000000.00 out of the federal dollar. then you have saudi arabia is saying that it is considering accepting the bet through one for its export to

china. then you will have one jeweler accepting any other currency or currency. other than that. and the sam was on, then you have in via the biggest importer of oil in the united states and china. and it's accepting the most probably it will bay rule bills for me, russian oil exports. and the process goes through. this is in fragmentation, and certainly it's keeping off the dominance of the dollar and the global oil markets. and do you expect other countries, international energy agency members to follow suit and release more oil from that reserves? do you think this could be substantial? the, the indicator is saudi arabia,

if saudi arabia goes ahead with accepting the better one, for instance, for its export of to china, then many of the opic countries would follow suit exactly as happened in 1973. when sal daddy via accepted the price and sell its oil and what became known as the petra. and it was followed by a member of, of the under selling a international oil economist and energy experts. thank you for joining us on the program and sharing your inside. we appreciate your time. thank you. now, rushing employees of our french china lottie, found say their bank accounts were banned without any warning. meaning they can't access money, they get for work be head of asi, frances highlighted. but this is discrimination. on the basis of nationality is only people with russian citizen ships were affected. a correspondence, surely davinsky has more. is it 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 e u announced 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 and 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 cancer 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 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've also been 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. busy because she's not so there is they are not big bosses. he knows just on pro is

a simple employee isn't. and as a filler rosara under sanction. waiter 0. not officially sanctioned. there is a warranty or some people are enforcer. but person, for example, right now, this is a russian, there is not a quality 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 bell 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 their sources of income comes from. and we understand that in spain alone, some $8000.00 russian clients are now having their bank accounts, moments 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 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 new sanctions. let's have a listen to all his trust had to say, britain has helped lead the world in exposing kremlin disinformation and this latest batch of sanctions hits the shameless propaganda to push out vladimir putin fake news, a narrative. so what does it mean? well, 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 won't 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 wider scope than expected. thanks for your company here in asi, international as always, plenty most toys to be found on our website asi ah, ah, ah.

ah, the city was finished with a boat. no mom's in the deal. nelson's new with.
