a with russia says, cheer that has again refused to use the provider that safe zone for ukrainian troops and the besieged avar stalls. field factory invariable to release pavilion, them surrender as the fight for the nationalist strong hold. readers on r t reports from the battle ground with a foreign nationalist to keep the price going against the flow of prominent tele journalist says the u. f is to blame for the war and ukraine. we hear from him in an interview. technically it's russia that at

least the war, but in my view, it's the united states that prompted russia to do that. a death sentence, that's how wiki leaks describes a london court decision to extradite whistleblower. joanna sanchez to the us to where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges. despite an earlier ruling that he could be treated harshly in us custody. ah, quite getting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now in the danielle republic, fragments of a ukrainian missile, intercepted by a local air defense system range down on the city of shock choice. now this led to one person being reported, kills sun verified, but you'll see here reportedly shows the destruction in the city where authorities

say a child was killed and for other people were wounded. the missile is believed to have been a torch. k u widely used by the ukrainian military. russia says she has again refused to use a humanitarian corridor for ukrainian troops at the besieged to as of stall steel factory and marble to safely release civilians and surrender. the calls to surrender have also been announced through loudspeaker. which i feel like if you're one of the while 5 ukrainian soldiers have reportedly surrendered to don, yet republic forces remaining fighters are still holding onto the sprawling territory and the industrial plant. their exact number is unknown, but they are reportedly in short supply of ammunition and food. russian lead forces say that they have been making very cautious move towards the enemy positions. but

i got the reports from the telegraph. oh, the arm on the back bar. me with a moving yeah. close to the as of still an industrial complex for norco afford with just fine those buildings with infantry can only do so much against fortified positions. heavy armor is called in for the heavy lifting and the troops, chechen volunteers in this case, know where the weak points ah, right now these are the fibers, are covering this tag crew. they're receiving targeting directions from troops here on the ground once once they have those all fish that goes that do its job. once

everything is agreed, the action begins that his thou in position has a target inside attack is not true. that initiative withdrawn a b and d heavy vehicle has now taken place. foreign nationalists to keep the keep the price up day in day out for weeks on end, fighting for every building, every floor, every room after the heavy vehicles finish up, the infantry moves in digital till a small task is to follow the soldiers and provide cover for them, yes,

we are on the lookout for any enemy movement. every one knows exactly what they're doing. the as off nationalists in the industrial zone that the heart of the city are in, sorry, shape their short and food, water, ammunition, and morale. russia has repeatedly offered them a season and the chance to surrender. the nationalists have refused. in some places, ukrainian troops were found shot in the back by their own as they attempted to surrender. it is clear that despite their situation, as of nationalists mentality has not changed and the most fanatical of them are still very much in jaw. more. i'd gaz via asi from mary. you. both russian soldiers have managed to evacuate more than 120 civilians through safe roots from the as of stall industrial area. so they say, meanwhile, kremlin spokesman dmitri pet. gov says russia has sent

a new draft agreement to give to resolve the conflict and is now waiting for a response of caution that he has so far been reluctant to work out all of the details of a potential arrangement with moscow. russia's military says that they have successfully conducted a test launch of the new sort of month, intercontinental ballistic missile. the missile is capable of carrying at least 10 warheads to potentially hit a target anywhere in the world. russia is now preparing a regiment to operate the sarm out system wants the initial tests are completed. vladimir putin congratulated the missiles developers. yes, this is a big advance in the development of advanced weapons systems for the russian army. the new complex has supreme technical and technical characteristics is able to overcome any existing missile defense systems. it has no equivalence anywhere in the world and there won't be any for a long time. this truly unique weapon will reinforce the convert potential of our

armed forces reliably ensure russia security from external threats and make those who in the heat of friends and aggressive rhetoric, or try to threaten our country. think twice. a prominent italian journalist also a contributor to major national outlets, has suggested an alternative view of the ongoing conflict in ukraine braking with the western establishment media narrative. he says the u. s. is to blame for the war, but the, the memory for that she sites, everything that we are talking about here is a war of the united states against euro. you is the real object of this war. the united states is interested in severing ties between russia and europe, and also china. we've managed to talk with him and get his insight on many aspects of the conflict. a my mentor, like, whenever come each other little. technically, it's russia that unleashed the war. but in my view, it's the united states that prompted russia to do that. it stated a number of provocations,

including with nato expansion. the united states figured out that it's losing cloud as a global hagaman. so it's behavior is a kind of a reaction. it definitely doesn't want to put up with its new role amid a shift into paula centric world. in my view, zalinski is now the main obstacle to achieving peace. it's obvious that he's ready to sacrifice his country in his people in order to stain power. he's also hindering a diplomatic solution if we want peace talks to succeed, then the compliance with uminski agreements should be the starting point, but zelinski as opposed to that for him. i think that today we're seeing 2 wars being fought simultaneously. one is being waged with arms bombs and missiles on the battlefield, whereas the other is unfolding in the media with newspapers, television, and the internet. and the latter one is no less serious. media outlets are being shut down and employ to weaken rival power zelinski himself basically silenced the opposition. so it's not correct to say that the war and defense of zelinski equals

a war in defense of democracy. i have never before seen mass media acting as indecently as they do now. i'm struggling for the truth seeking to my own opinion without buying into the official version of it. my daughter was in crimea during the referendum. she worked. there is a photo journalist and sent me images showing people's joy about returning to russia. that the referendum embodied a national unity that it was considered liberation back then while covering the situation and the don bass, she managed to survive miracle asleep while her 30 year old colleague was killed in a mortar fire. she was very upset to see the violence that the authorities and key if used against the people of the don bess sanctions never heard governments. in fact they heard the pop nation and because of that they are moral. they are also inefficient if their objective is to shift power and moscow. furthermore, the sanctions have already impacted european economies. the italian economy has

already suffered and its going to get worse. only the united states will manage to get away with it, probably for now that you doesn't see that i'm surprised by how shortsighted our politicians are. wiki leaks, founder jiliana songs is now one step away from extradition to the u. s. as a london magistrate's court has ruled in favor of the move, it's now up to britain's home secretary to confirm the decision which would c assange handed over to the us, where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges wiki leeks editor and chief christian profits and says the latest ruling could essentially amounts to a death sentence for us arch. 60 months ago this course actually would mean a rich life will be equal to up that sentence. now this court has been ordered to that been sent, and that is what happened here today. now,

do you live in the hands of johnson? they need to do the right thing. you need to make sure they do the right thing. they have the power to start to end this, to save a man's life and stop a pack on the food or the press. julian, a song has adamantly and repeatedly denied the allegations against him. london court had earlier admitted that assigned might face harsh treatment in american custody. we got reactions from political commentator to work almost young and international journalist. richard met hurst, who said, political motives underline the decision to extradite sanchez, fundamental principles of freedom of speech are con, from ice. this is very obviously a political, political trial. honestly, given a pretty patel's policies. you know, i, i don't, i don't really hold out much hope for science because it's just last year where she was trying to make recommendations that journalists in the u. k. be in prison for up to 14 years for you know, publishing government secrets,

things that embarrassed the government. so i don't really think she's much of a, of a friend of freedom of the press. again, i do hope she does the right thing because she, she, she has the power in her hands right now as morris johnson, to take a stance for press freedoms to show that the u. k is not working at the past of the united states and to stop a, you know, a journalist being shipped off to face to centuries and jail, and western countries on the governments are moving gradually into authoritarianism . they are not going to condemn themselves by pardoning julian as font or stopping the extradition of julian assigned it all in one team. julian assange wasn't biased towards any country. he published documents that condemn lots of governments, and it is only the united states that is trying nowadays, who extradite julian assigned to the united states. and this will be a death sentence for him. and this will mean, in my opinion, the end of the so called freedom of press on freedom of opinion and expression that

the united states brags about and says that it is spreading these values around the world. so we cannot really tolerate this talk any more that the nicer, the championing dis, freedoms around the world, because it has killed it. it has killed it with this case against renaissance. oh, while the west lashes out at moscow with sanctions and cutting some russian banks off from the swift international payment system, hello, bricks developing countries, brazil, india, china, and south africa are planning to hasten introduction of their own financial system with russia. russia's finance minister says the system will help countries shift away from dollar dominance and create a buffer against shocks in case of a global economic downturn, bricks, countries also planned to use their national currencies for import export operations and more closely integrate their bank card systems. as for more on this, we can cause life to erotica decide who is the director of the geopolitical economy

research group. thanks for being with us here on our international. i really, this is the 1st big challenge we've seen to the dollar as the dominant currency in the world. bricks countries, they want to use their national currencies more often instead of us dollar integrate their own payment systems. do you think that they'll be successful in this? i think they, they have no choice. i think they're going in a founder. they make some mistakes here and there, but they are going to find a way and let me just make a tiny correction. the europeans in launching the euro was the 1st set of countries, and in fact, it goes back a long way back when the dollars linked to gold was broken in 1971. that was when the europeans began, a long journey to was monetary union who spoke was, was precisely to eliminate the dollar from their mutual payments. the euro, euro doesn't look in great shape right now. but that is just the way these things work out. so i think the russians, the chinese, the indians in many ways,

different countries are trying different ways in which to us, so that independence from the dollar system, which has been extremely destructive. because the donor system rests on a sort of, of a band of financial ization, which is precisely what has been doing the 2 biggest economic, 2 biggest sorts of economic damage to the world. number one, increasing inequality just such an extent. that demand remains a problem in the world. and number 2, ensuring that the vast, that vast amounts of money which are sloshing around the financial system are not invested productively, but are rather invested in speculation. and parasitical prediction on the, on incomes of a, of those who actually work for a living. so there are claims that this new payment system will undermine the power of the dollar. and that's exactly the purpose of this new system, of course. but is it a real challenge? does it have any teeth hold any way?

i see that the a. well, 1st of all, it, yes, it does have teeth and i think that them, they will definitely be successful in ensuring that their trade is secured before the read for the purpose of the productive economy and trade in goods and services . they will definitely succeed. i would add one other thing. one of the reasons they may succeed has nothing to do with the ingenuity of the, of the devices they come up with, which are ingenious enough. so i'm not criticizing them. but i'm saying there's another issue, which is a donor system has been deeply contradictory from the start people just talk as though the dollars dominance was completely natural when they forget is that it has required. and as i say this, this, this, this, this a foundation of a financial ization which has been destructive and the key give away, you know, the, even the foundation of financial position is not working. and what's the key give away is the size of the balance sheet of the federal reserve. if you look at that

balance sheet and you see that it has gone from about one trillion before 2008 to about 4 trillion between 282020. and then 9 trillion. after that, you will see the extent to which the asset markets on which the dollars dominance depends, has require the artificial stimulation of the federal reserve. so the system is already crumbling. the federal reserve is sort of putting up little ballasts and so on, trying to paper over literally the big cracks that are showing that can only last so long. and now with the recognize issue of the dollar system, by particularly with the sequestering of rational central bank reserves, i think a lot of people must be thinking, if they can, they career rushes money tomorrow they can take away mine. and so where is the trust the trust on which every financial system defense has been fundamentally eroded? i would ask about that because many western countries have actually seized or

frozen russian foreign reserves. they are doing this to hurt russia financially. but has that actually undermine the status of the dollar and the euro as reliable currencies with absolutely, i think that all the countries that have engaged in the interesting the by the way, at least i read from days that go to japan is not quite complying to find this thing, it doesn't have a law under richard can sequester of free rational resolves. but anyway, the point is that all the countries that are doing this endangering the trust that is fundamental to any financial system. if you thought that your bank was capable of simply closing your access to your money, taking it away and saying, well, you know what be frozen it, you can have access to it. would you bank with that? and that's how fundamentally it gets. so if we take a look at the bigger community, the bricks community, if you will, we've seen huge resistance to pressure from washington to cut ties with russia. all

nations continue to trade with moscow and are against these economic sanctions because they want to hold their own if you will. do foresee that these alliances will continue despite external pressure from the west. i think they will be able to do so. number one, they need to do so, and number 2, particularly thanks to china, which is of course, as you know, exceptionally the most successful of all these bricks countries. china is increasingly providing alternative trade partnerships, alternative investment relationships, and alternative payment systems and other such infrastructure. and of course, the russians, the indian, the sense i'm not, you know, i'm just saying the china now provides a competing goal. so you can, you know, in a certain sense, you can look at this and look at the matter this way. the americans and their european, you know, acolytes are tra, doing what they're doing. that is putting sanctions in russia cetera. in order to scare the rest of the world into coming and, and, and,

and becoming part of their system you know, to, into, into us leaving close to the west. in reality, the effect of these action is to actually not unite the world under the domination of the west, but actually to divide the one between a small part of the world, which is essentially the old imperial core of the world economy. which is centered around a decaying financial ais, predatory speculative american economy. and on the other hand, are the rest of the world, which consists of the vast majority of the world countries and overwhelming majority of the world relation, which will be centered around a more dynamic china. and of course, is russia and china get closer together as seems to be the case. then it may be a very powerful do. busy because what china has, in terms of its labor force, et cetera, and what russia has in terms of her resources. and also, of course, russia's highly trained labor force. i think this is going to be the most dynamic

dual, ever seem incredibly interesting to hear your thoughts. it's a big chest game with so much at stake. radhika, director of the geopolitical economic economy research group. thanks for being with us. you're not going to national. thank you so much. are now the you is considering imposing more sanctions against russian oil supplies as the west to current measures against moscow have failed to achieve intended results. experts warned that the probable sanctions, or even an embargo on russian oil may drive prices up to $185.00 per barrel comparing to the current average of around $100.00. the commission wants to speed up availability of alternative energy supply as opec says, it cannot replace russian oil international oil economist one do solomon says there are no alternatives to russian fuel supplies. i am left, it's lashan,

a man menu that i'd say now or in the next 29. no. okay. plus no rush. no, i mean i know you said in can last lesson only experts. in fact, i will. i was for us to say, dad is not one soon getting for use. i'm now good for you, including less actually that can i guess if cameron bennett is on the products that shakes nearly even half that one, if you will, as a spin, force it up in teams. it's production beyond a date that says drug in the ocean and it's

market like in the one we are passing through now with inflation in the u. s. at its highest and 40 years, the biden administration seems to be more focused on gender and sexual orientation issues as words associated with that were used more than 40 times in washington's economic report. that summarizes biden's 1st full year as president. for details on this, we can cross live to archie's, rachel blevins. rachel, what else was surprising in this report? after the ira for many americans, certainly at the moment, are not happy with the white house as president biden continued to blame russia for everything from soaring. inflation do skyrocketing gas prices, but it's the president 2022 economic report that is now raising a number of questions as it uses the word gender 40 times more than the word inflation. even saying that if the u. s. really wants to address economic

inequality, then the country needs to take a look at a number of different gender identities. the u. s. census bureaus, household post survey designed to provide real time tracking of outcomes during the cove in 1900 pandemic. for the 1st time introduced separate questions about sexual orientation and gender identity on a census bureau survey in july 2021. so what exactly does that have to do with economics, especially at a time when the u. s. economy is getting worse and worse, annual inflation is over 40 year high that 8 and a half percent americans are having to pay more all around. whether it's trying to keep their lights on with energy prices up, 32 percent or paying more at the gas pump with gas prices up, the staggering 48 percent, but bite and continues to try to put the blame on russia for his own economic policies. the 2nd big reason for installation is robin reputed. not

a joke. and when the binding administration isn't focusing on gender studies, they're focusing on ukraine signing off on another $800000000.00 military aid package just this week. but bite as approval rating continues to hit new record load with nearly half of the country, referring to the u. s. economy as poor under the byte administration. now bite and does say that he's going to run for a 2nd term in 2024. but the question remains, how many americans will support him after his 1st term? and often i, rachel blevins. therefore, us keeping track of the political situation in the states per se. but china and pakistan have announced that they are expanding their partnership as part of a new economic corridor. a new pakistani nuclear power unit powered by a chinese developed rector, has also started working this week. the new round of cooperation comes as pakistan's, newly appointed prime minister forms

a coalition government prime minister, shabazz shareef, has also hosted china as envoy to pakistan for talks in islamabad, geo political analyst, a hassan, a slum shot, and paris school of technology and business. professor benjamin shall say, close ties between the countries go beyond the current change of power. the new government. any government when it comes back on there are certain cavities or to with chinese are definitely one of those furniture. a bug, a sunny governments have reached out to in the past it's non subject to the genome, governments, it's beyond the governments. it's a strategic state to state relationship. so this was really much expected. and the 2nd thing bear in mind is that studies have had a very good relationship working with the sheriff's. in the past before our prime minister shabazz sharif recent began to paula and his elder brother, namath street, was an hour before him for a good 4 years,

5 years. and it was during that time also that the chinese development would relationship. so i see this as a give you leave of it relationship or just the on any change economically, the, the china pakistan economic corridor is of power. mel importers decoy is not just about connectivity, is about cooperation, industrialization, agriculture, and tourism. it is estimated that decoy dog would create 2300000 jobs between 20152030. and he would add 2 to 2.5 percent h point to the pakistan. so annual golf or the value of this project is worth about $62000000000.00 us dollars as alpha. 2020 more than all the foreign direct investment in pakistan since 1970. that is it for me, this hour i will be back in about 32 minutes with another phone. fresh lecture news . this is our international stay with us.

ah, ah, we are told one of the hallmarks of western liberalism is the idea and practice of dollars. more specifically, it is said we should not judge an individual or group based on their race color or creed. but that apparently doesn't apply when it comes to russians. bruce, a phobia is the new bigotry. ah, with

will this is a is a short of video if you use the repeated the number of see the but as you the but they do use a bit of the stuff. it's not that i do so on the back of a young, she just a few of them do kids. i'm working on a few a nice you home of the issue below. he is still

with think you can see that when you, when you get your so and you know there is to but you might be way stuff across the . sure. sure. so it through them used to be a little bit more. yeah. but almost be right with you, with the new sure. because the of the, when you used to it was you to more of a new system that the in the bring me to believe you more about it. what is it, you know, it's not that about, on the, for the most, the, even the age unless you go change, if it's a bit, you know, she could eat a super move. so obviously she's not, i did you book said you cobra give you some because of the me give you a name of the that you know then you to stay in here it was not really.
