relations with russia should be rebuilt. talk about a united messaging problem. this is akin to say to say to craig, the west must destroy ah, gary and businessman paid for talks with russia gans problem 2 days off the moscow stop applying gas to bulgaria over the countries refusal to pay in variable we have from locals who are bearing the brunt of the backlash, i expect it to have a catastrophic effect. prices will grow up more. that's the way it will be. i think it will be extremely bad for us, but what i'm waiting for is the government to resign because we cannot expect anything good from the current one. the us plan to see is rush analysis to fund care war efforts, but maintains a 3 on ass down money define. thank you and warning that millions in the country faith salvation is horrible. you have bread one day and the other day you don't.

this is all because of the americans were wandering around, were broken. okay, you guys have witnessed all these recent events, how the americans made our lives miserable. and today we are paying the price of their bad policies and plans. a video of 2911 hijackers parting with the saudi national, with the lead time to re, at the intelligence is released by us media relations between the countries breach breaking point with a very well malcolm. this is on the international with the latest news update. it's good to happy with this. out. with him talks with the gas pro, that's the message from the bulgarian deputy prime minister after a meeting with top business men. and sophia, the play for talks with the rushing gas company comes off, the bulgarian stopped russian energy imposed 2 days ago. what we discussed and what we suggest according to my employees,

is that the government do everything possible to restore talks with guess from and deliver the contract. well, just to give you a sense, there is no emergency when it comes to immediate gas supplies in bulgaria, despite the fact that russia hasn't stopped those supplies. but to give you a sense of how problematic it could be in 2020, oh, most 3 quarters of all of the gas that the country imported came from russia. so this is a big deal, at least in the long term. now there is that pressure, mounting politically for the government to try and reverse this decision to acquiesce to that demand from russia to pay for the gas in rubles rob of in euro's or dollars as it was paid for previously in the long term bulgaria can. of course, look to get deals elsewhere, but right now, immediately it has to work out what's going to happen, or it could see severe economic blues to the country. and that is something that is concerning, not just the politicians, but people on the streets of sophia to know,

i think it will be extremely bad for us, but what i'm waiting for is the government to resign. i expect new elections and a new normal government because we cannot expect anything good from the current line. i expect it to have a catastrophic effect. prices will grow up more. that's the way it will be. i think this is the government's job to consider and resolve the problem. they that's what they are going to do. in fact, they will resolve it, each citizen, it has become clear that we can get gas from europe, but at a higher price would have been a so i do not believe it's an appropriate solution if gas is halted from russia. let's not forget that many new countries will pay in roubles to get gas from russia despite the imposed sanctions. as i understand, we will not do so. now we've heard for a while in countries calling for an end on dependency on russian energy. and in the last 2 months or so, since this don't that in ukraine that those voices have been getting louder and

louder, demanding an immediate hold to buying any fossil fuels. whether that's coal, oil, all natural gas from the russian federation. we're even hearing voices who are saying exactly the same things, such as top or politicians. ursula on the land, and use it for out all suggesting that russia is ready to use gas as a form of blackmail literature. i'm interruption of gus applies to poland. bulgaria is raising tensions a little more. that is why we must avoid dependencies that make us vulnerable. we have to get rid of the dependency of russian fossil fuels. and for that we need massive, massive investment in renewables. so poland is one of the countries that's really being particularly vocal about this ban all in ports of russian energy. in fact, the country has gone out of its way to criticize other. you countries that don't want to do that straight away, such as germany, germany, which has

a very high dependency on russian energy said look, we are going to try and reduce it. however, doing it immediately could lead to a recession. it could lead to mass unemployment. it could lead to poverty in our country. what's not good for the german economy will have something that will resonate potentially across the rest of the you. poland has now also seen its gas supplies directly from russia being halted because it too, is refusing to pay for that gas in rubles, that some have questioned whether this payment in rubles, could be a breach if you sanctions. but officials and ambassadors saying that the advice that come from the european commission has been pretty unclear on this. at some points over the last few weeks, the commission has said look, if companies want to open accounts with gas prom bank pay in euro's or dollars, and then that money is converted to euro's that would be completely ok. it's also come and said, no, this does breach a sanction. so companies are in

a situation not feeling particularly clear. however, one german company, this is utilities company, one of the biggest, which is cool unified. i said it believes painful roof roubles in this mechanism of exchange would be ok. it would be legal under the sanctions regime and that is something that they are intending to pursue in the near future. now of course, poland, one of the countries, it's seen, it supplies from russia, halted. so how is it doing gazing? the fact that this is something it has been pretty much asking for all along? well, in fact, it seems that poland is still buying gas from russia, albeit now it's happening to do it for germany. which kind of gives you a sense of where some of these other nations, like germany have been coming through and form is that they just not ready for the consequences of turning the taps off to russian energy. just now austria's former minister of foreign affairs. karen, can i so please bulgarian dependence on russian dancing ports remained strong by.

gary is definitely a case by itself. like every member country has a very different leverage and a different dependency on energy imports foreign large. and in the case of buy guerria, it is evident that there has been this very strong connection tool to russian guess imports. let us also remember that in 2014 by area actually was supposed to be determined alpha south stream the pipeline. it was supposed to deliver gas direct wired to black c to d u space. and by gary was supposed to play a very eminent roland that that project was abandoned due to, to different fer pressure in june 2014. so by gary is definitely a case at stake,

also given the the rather low purchase of power off the average for gary citizen. and i remember that in by the area we have seen over the last 15 years, at several instances, social unrest because of high electricity bills because of high utility prices, or one specific case or a memo on the walls. one stage of liberalization going on in 2012, and so it's, it's, it's a topic that is very close to the everett i've given citizen, i would say. and i can also imagine that officials are especially sensitive to the topic because of the very, very specific history, recent history. one of the latest on the conflict in ukraine russians defense ministry says its forces have destroyed a ukrainian torch figure. ballistic missile launcher would have been, which had been used to get residential areas and you claiming that you have custody on thursday. several missiles were apparently fired at the t v. how that were

intercepted by russian at defense systems. no casualties were reported in not attack. moscow is also commented on its own strikes against the military science and key as it rushes, defense ministry says it use high precision missiles to destroy ukrainian weapons factory in the city. here the officials claim a residential building was damaged and not to talk with one person killed at least 10 others injured. he was congress as passed legislation to streamline a world war 2 era land lend lease program to accelerate the provision of military equipment to kids. the move came the same day job by and proposed legalizing the confiscation and sale of russian property in the us to finance the war effort in ukraine. that will enhance our underlying efforts to accommodate the russian oligarchy. and make sure we take their take their, their, it'll be gotten gays, we're going to accommodate them. we're going to caesar yachts,

luxury homes and other it will be gotten gains of prudence cryptography. yeah. cryptography, the club, the guys who are the club talker, but these are bad guys, is now calling on congress to approve $33000000000.00 and funding for ukraine, about $20000000000.00 of that would go directly as military assistance. and during this speech that he gave, he referred to this as a small price to pay. and he also says that this is a way for the american people to do their part with us involvement and a conflict that they never voted for it to begin with. but at the same time, biden is also calling for russian individuals to do their part apparently as the white house now called on congress to give them new sweeping powers to not only seize assets from russian individuals, but also to then sell those assets,

saying that they will give the proceeds to ukraine as a new form of assistance. now, when it comes to the terms of exactly what they're asking for, everything right now is incredibly broad. they use terms like money laundering and corrupt dealings to say what new assets that they would see. but at the same time, they leave a lot of room for decisions on their end as to how they would move forward. now we don't know exactly how congress will approach this, but at the same time this does come as there are a number of countries that in the past have been very reliant on heavy, heavy aid from the united states, such as a country like afghan, a stan they received billions of dollars in us aid for years, only to be cut off last year after their us supported government fall apart and the man came sweeping back to power. and the u. s. came in and froze $7000000000.00 worth of athletes creating a huge humanitarian crisis in their country. so there is a lot at stake here. as the u. s. shows that they are more than willing to move

forward with tens of billions of dollars in aid. as long as they agree with the government that's empower and as biden refers to that, a small price to pay here. well, joe biden said washing assets in the us should be seized for the sake of helping ukraine un human rights experts have called on washington to end its freeze of afghan state assets is they could be used to as an economic collapse and widespread starvation in us down is dawn. they go much below the there are currently too many economic problems. my monthly salary is only 5500 f ganges, but sometimes it is not enough even for my medicine. i don't know how to feed my kids, how to pay rent somewhere along the column each day is horrible. you have bread one day and the other day you don't. this is all because of the americans were wandering around, were broken. my hand is not working. i pray for the strength of the taliban government to handle this misfortune caused by the americans to serve the afghans.

because i come in that i have 7 children, my husband, his jobless work, no life. so i do laundry in a neighbor's house to support my family and find a morsel of food for my children. you guys have witnessed all these recent events, how the americans made our lives miserable. and today we are paying the price of their bad policies and plans. the find a dentist ration has frozen nearly $9500000000.00 in assets belonging to the gun central bank of the taliban takeover in the wake of the hasty us military withdraw last year in february bite and issued an order that part of the funds be used for purposes within the us, instead of talking the one, terry and christ is enough gone as stone, saving essential banks, fans has left the african economy teaching on the verge of collapse. the united nations has warrant that afghanistan could reach in the universal poverty rate of 97 percent with half of afghans are already on the brink of starvation. with more

than 4000000 having been internally displaced. we discussed the situation with an afghan activist and politician mohammed italian iraqi. he says that washington has a long history of seizing foreign assets. george w bush, obama and trump killed of guns by bombing them. wire by then killing us guns indiscriminately by depriving them of basic human needs which is food. and economic function has been a devastating effect on the common people has been so severe that people are selling their kids in order for other kids to survive. basically what the americans are doing is that even mentality, the nato got bogged down and basically were defeated, enough gun is done. and in order to get even, they want to use the post world war 3 institutions of economic

control mechanisms and deprived of databases needs united states in his studio. uh, no behaving like a tv, you know, whenever they take over other people's money on well. and so forth, they keep it until you know, until whatever date excuse is it satisfied of us strategic relations with saudi arabia reach new lowe's american news, tv channel, c b s, releases footage of to 911 hijackers with the saudi national, who allegedly has connections with intelligence i comes a week off to a bombshell f b, i report stating that the man might have had advanced knowledge over the attack ortiz. caleb moore looked the details times in the united states and saudi arabia seemed to be going a bit sour. and that gives the united states chance to play

a car that particularly hurts 9. 11. cbs is now dropped a video of one of the hijackers partying with a saudi national back in 2000 newly released video turned over to family members of 911 victims last month, along with more than 14000 pages of documents the evidence to obtain from british authorities raises new questions, actually renews an old one. did the saudi government assist the hijackers on 911? the saudis have always deny that explosive question. saudi arabia is now repairing its relationship with iran. embassies should soon be reopening and their respective capitals. that the move that cannot be favored by the united states. a month ago, we found out about a long suppressed f. b. i report that is saudi national was spying on the united states. on behalf of prince bandar, the information alba, you me obtained on persons of interest in the saudi community in los angeles, in san diego, and other issues which meant certain general intelligence,

presidency requirements, would be forwarded to vander vander would then inform the general intelligence presidency of items of interest to the general intelligence presidency for further investigation, vetting or follow up. the report concluded that this spy couldn't actually known of the terrorist deadly plans that the f. b i kept is hidden for years. now that report dropped a month ago when the white house was going ahead to head with re odd over oil price negotiations in vain. there was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn't happen. it was part of turning on the spigot of saudi oil. it's not bad that more information about a deadly terrorist attack that killed thousands of americans and the perpetrators and some of their shady connections is being released. but what is concerning is that it seems like the deaths of thousands americans and finding out the truth about how it happened is turning into a bargaining chip. why was this information not released a long time ago in order to help prosecute those responsible for a deadly crime?

why is it now being released as a point of political pressure? now let's be fair. i think if we had an honest government, this material should have been out in the open a long time before. this is not so much. why are they releasing it? but why haven't they released it up till now? if they're looking for a way to alienate reality, even further, this is a very short way to do it. the so these are brutally realistic when looking out for their own interest and the current context. they can see that with the weakening of american global power that russia is strengthening. china is strengthening u. s. relationship with saudi arabia, and particularly between the, by the administration and saudi arabia. is that a record flow? if they think they're going to force saudi arabia to get back on the american reservation, i think this is actually going to alienate them. further, have political policy in the netherlands has ways questions about how ukraine's

president lensky acquired his estimated $850000000.00. 14 zalinski owns a fortune, various estimates put it at around $850000000.00. he didn't get most of this until after he took office, is president. so where does that money come from? and more importantly, where is it going? the outsides of the landscape, along with his inner circle, have already been subject to the broad investigation previous leaked documents from the so called pandora papers revealed their ownership an in network of offshore companies. the findings claims that prior to the election, zalinski handed his jazz in a significant firm to a friend who would like to become his chief aid. however, according to the papers, the president's family continued to receive money from the off shore. where should one out from britain's demand for university stays? the assets of all europeans should be under scrutiny, including ukrainians, and their presidents, president over the country to clear off in

a fairly sizeable countries, the 1000000 population. they need to disclose their interests and it is legitimate, it is perfectly legitimate to all about the, the finance and the background. also, many people are quite curious. how is it possible for them, for some people to a mass oligarch level of wealth, when the social career doesn't really seem to give many opportunities, this is required nowadays of every ordering person in europe starting, you know, companies and business bank accounts. so of course, it's quite natural that also the president of european countries, such as ukraine, should follow the same procedures at which our american procedures, ah, the bell russian military has conducted joint training exercises in russia to strengthen the already robust relationship between those neighboring countries

armed forces aren't is a cost on our reports. they may look like ordinary drills, but the 1st glance is deceptive. here. this is the 1st detachment of bell russian troops to receive military training from russia. so a hewn it with the by the russian up forces has spent whole month here, absorbing the knowledge and expertise of its russian colleagues. and now here they're showing off what they've learned. most common minsk are key strategic partners in these trying times. given that belarus has long been concerned over the impenetrable lity of its buddha's bolstering security tops it's to do list. this is where russia stepped in to help and share its combat experience in the 1st move of its kind, little see thought the training of the bellow ruffian tank company has just been completed. at 1st, we checked the personnel preparation level based on this training programs for every service, man, crew and platoon were drawn up. the main emphasis was put on the interaction

between various types of troops in the future will such joint military training of the country's armed forces will be continued lula gould. upon to day. the 1st training of the belushi and division was accomplished. it is already possible to say that their level of training is quite good. excellent conditions were created for the personnel. this event helps the countries armed forces to get to know each other better and learn. they did that at least during a month of joint drills, we were trained to coordinate our work with various types of troops. we've gained a lot of experience from the russian federation officers and got acquainted with new types of weapons that will soon appear in the republic of belarus. for the last course and award ceremony, best marksman, get honorary diplomas and watches. and the clear message has been sent, russia and belarus are in it together. and both nations fire power is ready to be

fuse together to if need be. i'm a guest on of reporting for our t. oh, no way. europe's largest producer of oil and gas has asked the european court of human rights to dismiss an environmental case brought against it. all's low claims now is not the time to stop drilling for more oil in the arctic. europe needs a stable and predictable energy supplier to, to the ukraine wall, that activists suing norway for climate reasons. disagree. war in 2022 does not legitimate oil decisions taken in 2016 nor that we need new production for several more decades to come. the ear has been a case of using the war and ukraine as a pretext to return to green energy policies. determined to reduce dependence on russian gas and oil while reaching another of its goals named me to reduce fossil fuel usage. the you commission has had to, has that reiterated the plan to originally announced a plan originally announced in march to make europe independent from russian fox

fossil fuels. well before 2030 we will keep homework in to ensure sufficient gas supply in storage, in the median term. re power, you will help reduce our dependency and russian full. so feel still this year and we will present l plans to speed up to grinned. transition in mid may. in this case, it, there is a push that is immediate, dealing with the need for petroleum and methane, are natural gas in a number of european countries because of the conflict going on. but that kinda issue will not be attended to, right away when you start drilling, you have to do the drilling and production. it will be some years down the line before you'd even be producing crude oil and natural gas. so it's not

appropriate to the government's to say, oh, we desperately need this and we desperately need it now because it's not gonna be available now. it could be some years in the future. and what happens is, is causing even greater negative impacts to the climate change situation. so you're trying to balance climate change and doing all you can to reduce the potentials of war climate change. meanwhile, you're trying to produce more oil and natural gas for the companies that russia has cut off. so you caught between damage in the environment, even more causing more common change. and yet, we're going to have ourselves in such a situation will never be able to recover from thanks for joining us. there are 90 international as always, pencils, stories to be found on our website. our team don't com. we'll be back in 30 minutes with

football. talk to richard for the school i spoke with a with a to go because i love us. we are with that also choice issue. somebody over there also

with poverty over you. look, are you up for you was up with the and i do so as you know that way i don't mind was secretary defense lloyd. austin says he will move heaven and earth to assist you. great. at the same time, the foreign policy cheap exclaims relations with russia should be rebuilt. talk about a united messaging problem. this is akin to say to say, do, craig, the west must destroy ah.

with awe unit 731, did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to
