[000:00:00;00] a, with an oil death i was bombed in the western russian city of belgrade. moscow say is he have power down the attack while ukraine has neither can funds nor denied. involved with the crew survived the sniper bush, while reporting on the streets of ukraine's war torn city of mario pole. please this room, just before this building with was short with our rushes, foreign minister visits the india and stays western unreliable. as people grow

bilateral trade in their own national currencies. i think that efforts to press new delhi to oppose moscow will fail. our relations will not, partnership does not depend on a legal method to pick up a criminal and say 0 has a month to adjust to the rules for gas to contract, to be paid in variables or with a shutoff in supply company across europe will. and they can't survive without russian energy. awe. thanks for joining us. this is aunty international with the latest world news update. now ukrainian miss ali shot down over western russia's belgrade region which borders you train with no casualties or damage to buildings and software. no debt, though, in the city of belgrade 22 miles when the border was struck,

the early the friday. according to russian authorities. moscow say the bombing was carried out by 2 ukrainian military helicopters, while ukraine's foreign minister said he could neither confirm nor deny reports of ukrainian involvement. footage shows terminals at the facility a blaze of smoke below sky woods, the bloss cause that no casualties and emergency services are currently working to tackle the blaze. meanwhile, and verified foothill shots just outside key as proposed to show residents evacuating the city. many for to maneuver that caused between anti tank. mine's place in the road. in mario po, selling continues as joint russian don. yes, force is worked to push the remaining ukrainian, neo nazi groups from the city. you can see rebel and buildings damaged in bloss, solve the heavy fighting residents of the water and city describe how ukrainian nationalists used residential buildings as firing positions which is

a group of the nationalist split up into groups of 10 or so people. they took up positions in the housing blocks. they came here and sit up in the night. you can tell where they've been by the condition of the buildings. if the building is all black and burned out, then the nationalists were there and if the house is untouched, then they weren't allowed in their corresponding ward gas. the reports from the front line in mario pole where he and his crew came under sniper fire through the streets, said roads of mary. you both are fraught with danger. here at the scene to section the sniper's bullets. we'll buy meters from us and then again,

ah, this is the eastern side of murray. you book city, the sight of vicious battles just days ago. these are attach and fife as they are commanded to leave us. let us go closer to the front lot. barely $500.00 to so meet us that way. west of us, ah, ukrainian military positions but of course predominantly nationalist battalions such as, as of the fighting here was, was absolutely ferocious as you can perhaps tell a time crowd yesterday impacted that building over there. but again, everywhere here are bodies of ukrainian fights as nationalists to which haven't been yet removed. devastated neighborhoods shops, apartment buildings, offices, and houses stretch for miles. no structure here was sped in the fighting in the

midst the rubble of countless bodies of ukrainian nationalists surrounded by bullet casings and shrapnel. hello. this is unfortunately, if this is as fuzz as we go, this is right on the edge of the flood lombard. this wall. everything is covered by ukrainian slippers from as of steel, the factory that's spots a huge area of the city. that is where you play the forces and stop as a still concentrated we have had enough of stuff was for the day. so basically, just just the edge of these building, he's in the other direction, but chechen fighters of be what, what kind enough kind enough to was export us to. what's you, a lot of these building, for example, liberated just yesterday. there was a lot of people, many people pensioners, women, children hiding in the basement for the basement. the fortunately access to the

building to the basement is on the other side of this building that ruins structure in the distance is the last of what is controlled by russian poses by chechen fights as here. unfortunately, the role between these building and that building is also covered by ukrainian snipers. so fighter russian fight earlier today was killed while attempting to cross. they still haven't been able to get the body out. the fight is here. knew what urban combat, eas, few things in our world are worse than this. second of all time, you know chuck copper. we're moving ahead without losses. we're working very efficiently. the civilians that we liberator, they kiss us, they rejoice, and they say thank you, sister. there are elderly men, women, we evacuate people every day and give them food i did. and in these hell, barely a minutes walk away from the front lines haggard,

couple sift through the wreckage. horses. hey, russert this. he says we're in a bad state. we'll. we've been living in the basement since march 10th. sometimes we stick our heads out. i put our building was on fire. it took a day to put out the blaze on the 1st floor. got with everything was destroyed hans interested in it. for us it was time to go, which meant running the gauntlet in reverse. here we are again. this road just before this building is also covered by ukrainian saga list out twice, twice shorted us will thunder music. we've got a wave. see how sulaiman 1st and then follow him. ah,

the battle here will rage hottest and likely end at the massive as of iron and steel works complex, which is the economic heart of the city. but that's a battle for another day. more i'd get the of o t for variable tanya task. ah, the russian foreign minister has said that trade and national currents, these will intensify between moscow and quote, strategic partner india, on a visit to new delhi sick. i laugh, i've explained that weston control financial systems have certainly can no longer be trusted. the reason for moving. ready ready to national gallon systems again. absolutely. and the reliable nature of the bars, we don't want to bend over here, which would be closed and the don't want to give masters can steal your mind over today, the russian,

mr. surgeon knows what the distance was all to dive the one military defense energy and also just like to make the, the think would be also this was all of the national feel be issues and the western countries. and this also comes on the backdrop of you coupon and secretary link with sort of who sort of india to counter the dependency on russia. the energy did months, she urged to do that. it's important that we double down on the sanctions. the u. k . wants to see more sanctions put in place on banks on the ability for russia to use gold. closing access to ports for all vessels around europe in the americas, and all se,

tackling the dependency on russian oil and gas. but i think that i should talk to sort of insisted that a dive within the continue as they won't all are specially when it comes to the strategic partnership over the military or the emission comes from russia to india and tell you that this has continued or the need to the new because of a privilege. and yes, i have confidence that despite pressure on india from the west are relations will not suffer. partnership does not depend on illegal methods of dick cat and blackmail. an opportunistic considerations with regard to russia, india, and china. it is completely pointless to apply such a policy. the people who propose and implement such policies and impose them on others, and not well versed in the national identity of the countries they are trying to use the language of blackmail width as for the current tor china and then india. i think this is

a completely natural rigor. we are close partners and the 3 of us participate in a number of international formats, bricks, s, c, o, the structures that have developed around a c and, and our trios are, i see russia, india, and china in china. and today in india, we discussed how to develop this trip and how to use it more actively in the interest of stabilization and ensuring the quality in international affairs. and not joined the list of the countries in pressing sanctions against russia. it has also not driven into the demand by washington to press for the sanction on the country has also taken a very strong result not entering into any sort of negotiations with these countries either on pressing any factions, which means that at the time but he is entering into any of its own,

independent india remain committed to fostering its style with russia almost driven strategic partnerships. which also comes with a back drop off several meetings between prime minister there in moody and the russian president who didn't. and also that is an ongoing meeting between time. it is a movie and russian foreign minister, which speaks volumes about the partnerships which the 2 countries have. the last 7 years, the military and economic operation and person not the only states warning india against cooperation with russia, senior us national security advisor. the leap thing has, threatens new delhi with quote consequences. we have very keen full countries, especially our allies and partners, not to create mechanisms that pop up the rubel and those that attempt to undermine the dollar based financial system. and yes, there are consequences to countries that actively attempt to circumvent or back fill these sanctions. that was a language quotient. and it's

a language usually used a towards trying steve russell states. and that's what the lead thing said that india will. phase consequences are far as stablish ing an alternative payment mechanism with russia. he was told that the india has its strategic priorities. india has its pragmatic approach towards things and that in give will continue to go by and what it wants and what it things is best for india. and it want to listen to countries that are trying to enforce big data on india. india finds it easier to get crude, either from russia using the alternate alternative trade

mechanism. and this is not the 1st time that india and that india then that on 2 occasions in the past with iran, when americans that impose sanctions on iraq to i think it is are, it is not new to the practicalities of using a mechanism to trade with countries that have come under sanctions, pakistan's prime minister is the focus of assassination plots according to the country security services. and the reason speech to the nation, iran con, accuse they quote, foreign power of trying to intervene in his country's domestic policy as a response to pockets on close ties with russia. or you get what the u. s. government says is just a lame excuse me. why is it angry of pakistan? it says that it will forget its anger and will forgive pakistan for no confidence motion is successful against him in wrong con. meaning that if pm con,

with pakistan, will be forgiven hot that i really have a question to my nation. is that our real value of the gone this treason to the nation on sunday? i want you to remember the faces of each trader 1000. the pakistani is, have taken to the streets to protest what they call, what they say is a corrupt government failing to cope with a growing economic crisis. and the no confidence vote on pounds. leadership is now used to be held on sunday con claims that the political turmoil is being orchestrated by the west, specifically the, the us. and he says he has proof. the u. s. a. cons allegations are simply untrue. we are closely following developments in pakistan. we respect, we support pakistan's constitutional process and the rule of law. but when it comes to those allegations, there is no truth to them. in what appeared to be a slip of tongue, he named the u. s. as the country behind the threat. or times pakistani army general mohammed harun osland safe. the us has

a history of meddling in other countries. domestic policies and ron sons, government has been there for the last 3 and a half years. so there has been most kind of reasons if you're talking about individual reasons why pakistan, unfortunately as a history of horse trading and buying the lot of these political use to money. and there have been reports that are streaming has been done. and while these are of the fundamentals are b, u. s. has a history which is well documented and written in the books that they do metal into the affairs of smaller countries. in case of august on we have circumstantial evidence and documentary evidence also. and it has been said that our envoy in washington was summoned and he was told that in plain

words, that if the new one from thence motion against him on does not succeed, then there will be consequences for box. meanwhile, the kremlin, say, the gas supplies from russia will not be immediately cut off. if buyers in europe fell to confirm, they'll pain roubles, according to most good companies have until the 2nd half of april, or even any may to accept flashes. tense is, comes off to president putin or did they, country sanctioning. russia had to pay for gas and the russian currency, 5 minutes. the 2nd half of say the new terms are justified. my for a degree which provided the scheme as far as i could understand acceptable to do with him. don't use the rules because with them they are so. so this futures be present of use and on the skin,

los off to give the bayman eventually in the rules and that was the original. there is a huge amount of concern, despite the fact that that russian guest is still flowing on friday. and even though the ad deadline has been passed and there is, you know, what we've heard from germany, that this has been described as a black male. this idea that you could be threatened with having its gas supplies. i turned off if it doesn't pay for russian gas in rubles, and businesses in particular, very concerned this, especially countries like germany and austria, which are the ones that have to launch a use of the russian energy that comes in. and of course, germany is the engine house of the european union. so when businesses are concerned that then there is a problem. and some businesses from both countries have been issuing some push

stock warnings, giving up russian gas is impossible if we are not ready to accept the huge consequences. some countries could do it, but for austria, it is not possible this year. banning russian gas and ports comes at a cost. this could lead to the worst crisis in the german economy since the end of world war 2. we heard from germany's leader as well as leaders of other e u countries that they will not pay for russian gas in roubles. they say that that would be a breach of contract because the contract specifies payments in euro. so we will have to see how this plays out. however, both germany and austria, in particular, are preparing for a complete ceasing over russian gas coming through the triggered emergency measures, which would see the reduction in consumption of energy when it comes to industry. but they have said that hospitals in residential care homes would be shielded for

even the worst impact if that comes to pass. now, other you countries are also grappling themselves with war, whole to russian energy supplies would mean for them. now, in france are already some plans in place that could see rotating blackouts across the country. thus, despite the fact that france is one of the least dependent on russian energy out of the countries in the european union. but it really does have also been giving general advice about how you can reduce your consumption. so we've heard from people like france timmons, who said, you know, put on extra jump as extra sweat as others have said, you know, you could turn the heating down and not to, to in your home. and then another you commissioner has this nugget of advice. everyone is asking, what can i do? you can do 2 things. ah, control your own and your teenagers are showers. and when you turn off that warriors, they take that putin in the u. k. there's also

a cost of living crisis that's unfolding their households and businesses seem to be grabbing not just with the huge increases in energy. ringback also price rises in other areas, whether that be food, but also from april, 1st increases a council turks to broadband bills along with many other hikes. and they could be even more on the way we've heard from both the e u, the u. k. that they are still possibly more sanctions that could be leveled against russia. and as we know. ringback sanctioned, do have a blow back for countries in the west, the ones who are imposing them in the 1st place. so if there are more sanctions than they could be bigger problems, yet to come the head of the international monetary fund, phase west and sanctions against russia threatened to a wrote the dominance of the us dollar. crystelina. georgie ever says there's a global trend towards other currencies playing

a bigger role. the unprecedented financial sanctions imposed on russia after its invasion of ukraine threatened to gradually dilute the dominance of the u. s. dollar and result in a more fragmented international monetary system. want to discuss this, let's cross live 2 through gsa, asia, pacific strategic and economic policy specialist. thank you for joining us on the program. it's good to see you as i was your take on the global economic effects of these sanctions. do you think we'll see a new system in the near future with regional currency is expanding into international trade? not in the near future. it will take time this disruptions in current systems don't happen overnight. although these sort of events do really give a push towards it, i would expect that the process would be a graduated one, where people understand the dangers of stocking excessively in dollars and in

euro's and move to other secondary currencies and into currencies like their r and b, to diversify, and frankly of the end of the, i think a fragmented system is a better system. and it's a simple system for the international monetary system. do you think russia, the demand that europeans pay in variables will strengthen the russian currency on the international stage? it will we perhaps even see it as a reserve currency? i wouldn't go as far as to say, call it would that it could become a reserve currency, but it will absolutely stunning. i think the russian central bank is handling the situation very well. the rubel has already is friendly and also the way i understand the latest scheme is that yes, that $1000000000.00, but then they then have to translate that into rubles so that risk is in what was being done by say guys from currently is going to be now on the shoulders of the purchaser, so it's not a very big step and i would expect that they will comply with these rules low. the

fortunately countries and the unfriendly purchasing countries. but then i think that will help the rules. and as you saw in your, one of your previous stories that you're going to do, their exchanges in rubies and rubles, india has done exchanges previously what they are in your, in re l. so there is precedent for that and people know how to go about operationalizing these, these new arrange. so what do you think you are up in? the western russia also designed to ask the payments the variables for the export. the other result is not just gas. that's a, that's an interesting point because, you know, i guess the, the specific exemption within the sanctions regime and for, for particular, bank goes from bank et cetera. and even from the swift but not for not, not, not in many other areas. and i don't think they will be accepting on that truck because they don't think that because the energy from russia does have quite a lot of leverage,

but not in certain other areas. we know where those areas are and where the principal could provide, but could put more emphasis, for example, on the uranium sales to the us, et cetera. such, there are a, or maybe people sales to the japanese. there are particular areas where russia can put emphasis and try to euro those sanctions. but i would generally think that beyond the energy areas, it will be a little difficult at this point of time because that is that he's been in the west on time in terms of sanction washington and the campuses of you are not happy with this demand of course, but is there really anything that can do about it, but they're not happy with this demand. but as i said, as i understand the demand, the demand is that they can make those payments in europe, but then they need to change it. they need to set up accounts in russia where they make that exchange. so that burden that risk of exchange is just the foreign

currency exchange risk that they will have. they will have to bear at this point of time with the producer, the guess for you. so guess from just bearing that now it is the the import of gas which needs to be bearing veterans, the consumer. so i actually think, although the sounds like a big deal, it's not as big a deal. and the western come companies and countries even express their reluctance . we'll go ahead and do this because it is not such a big step after on can you see europe in america? maybe finding a unified solution to the energy crisis. i know not anytime soon it, it's going to be a long standing one. you know, it's not just about russia. the u. s. has fairly terrible relations with the gulf states with, with, with major oil producers. and as we know with regard to gas for oil, there is an international internationally trainable system with regard to gas because it gets wiped,

it needs to be sent in liquid format. it's not that easy to change producers. and in my view, i think there is some really major bad thinking on the way in trying to show the interdependence in terms of energy sales between russia and the west. because, you know, russia is a pony fight, un security council player. it is a very important, important with the international system. and countries do need to stay interdependent so that they both have mutual one or abilities up to a point. because that enables them to then see through and try to find construct a solutions, isolating one party or decoupling parties. as we see somewhat in the us, china relations is lose lose for both parties. and i hope that in the longer and they will review their decisions in terms of trying to create a rupture in energy sales between russia and west asia,

pacific strategic and economic policy specialists. thank you very much for your time. you know, a major for opposing the russian military advancing ukrainian, neo nazi group b as off battalion, which some western media outlets have been glorifying its freedom fighters. but prior to the conflict off had been widely condemned internationally sanctioned by the u. s. and even bonds from social media. i see donald court referrals like a chameleon changes, colors from a group of neo nazis to freedom fighters with ease. it's the as off battalion, at least the way the western media portrays it back in 2014 the times, described as off as a group formed by white supremacists. now it's headlines feature a quote from the organization claiming they're fighting the real nazis as of deeds though. tell a different story though. it's useless. sheila gruesome, you know,

playing host who you originally reason for people with eyes and ears. there's no doubt about who these people really are, but for the western media, it doesn't matter if an armed group believes in genocide or is guided by some insane ideas. if they're fighting washington's enemies, it seems like no expense will be spared to make them look like angels. look at all the terrorists. western outlets have either tried to look toned down or supported in the past. i will, mohammed al gilani is a former member of both al qaeda and isis the same man that p b s gave a platform to as the leader of the most dominant armed anti government group in syria. even osama bin ladin was hailed as an anti soviet freedom fighter by the western media for many years. the same man who was responsible for this. ah, i, we could go as far back as 1922 when the western media literally glorified ad off

hitler for as long as he was only talking smack on jews and communists. of course, he was hailed as a new popular idol, the anti red. it just goes to show, as long as other guys are paying the price for these people's actions, the western media will sing their praises. and right now it's as of in the spotlight, there's not sees that are out, that we say that they're not marketable. and let's get them off social, let's get a lot of social media. let's put them in the back of the room. not a fan of those nazi's, but then there are nazis out there a little more cinematic. it's more exciting. the more exciting the industry kids there industry kids, there are, we hand picked them, they are selected, you've been selected. as of potassium. they're the nazis at the moment when he, thanks for keeping his company here, naughty international as
