with just after 7 pm here in the russian capital. and you're watching our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now russian president vladimir putin has wrapped up the 1st round of talks with his iranian counterpart in to run with both sides underlining successful bilateral cooperation different spheres. if there is a willingness for him, both parties to express political will and to bring our relations to a new, practical lateral with our joint efforts to strengthen international security have been successful, especially with regard to the syrian settlement. both leaders have also said they want to expand their relations with a new strategic partnership. deal on the table and ahead of president putin visit russia's gas. prom signed a memorandum on a $40000000000.00 deal with

a ran state oil company circuit. he turkeys president is also into ran to meet with the russian and iranian leaders for bilateral and try lateral talks, art easy way for trunk, always interact with more on what's expected to come out of the summit. president proven doesn't leave russia that often these days. so every foreign trip is always a magnet for attention. the choice of destination speaks volumes about moscow's priorities. so there you have it shortly after joe biden, towards the middle east. mr. prudent is visiting terror on together with, and that's also very important. turkeys leader, ty bardon here at the russian embassy into iran. we heard from the ambassador about the diplomatic game of chess that is now, and it's crucial stage was seen to remove to europe where doable. quite recently, tehran has literally turned into a mecca for numerous foreign delegations that are coming to iran. they're coming not only from asian countries, but also from the ca. yes. from

a number of european countries that are looking for ways to strengthen bilateral trade. so, but, but it's much more difficult for europeans to do this because they're forced to keep an eye on the americans. going back to the trilateral format, despite the immense contrast and interests when it comes to the syrian conflict. it was thanks to the efforts of the leaders of the 3 nations russia, turkey in iran, 4 years ago that syria. so like at the end of the tunnel ahead of another summit in 10 wrong, the gremlins spokesperson cold, the trilateral agreements. the only international format that is keeping serious stable. here's what else we heard from mr. pess. gov in his latest interview. graham, i'd say to give you the new choice to the main purpose of the visit to iran east, to participate in the summit of the aston troika, the guarantor countries of the syrian settlement process, russia, iran, and turkey,

which is a very important format that has shown its viability, and he's the only international format that is currently contributing to resolve in the searing conflict. russia and the ran are now the most sanctioned countries in the world. but the latest efforts by the western european countries to isolate russia only lead to closer ties between russia in the islamic republic, russian, and in radian, companies apparently have nothing to lose. now. trade in national currencies is picking up pace, ties are being expanded in so many areas from space exploration to joined car manufacturing. the 2 countries are now expecting to sign a major strategic partnership agreement. yeah, the most crucial on the 1st of all, we need to further increase tre, turn over our exports to iran, have increased by more than 50 percent and total trade turn over by more than 30 percent or persons. i hope that by the end of this year, we will break the record that we sent last year by more than $4000000000.00. by the

end of the year, we will have many more business missions. representatives of russian businesses will come to iran and vice versa. to russia, stores, and i think we will successfully resolve issues of banking cooperation, which is very important for switching to national currencies. earlier this month, turkey cemented its role as a k mediator, and the ukranian conflict talks in est ambled paved the way for a potential compromise on the issue of grain experts from blocked ukrainian ports, flat m r. hooton's upcoming ted i said with ty beardon followed by an anticipated press conference, could shed light on a possible agreement. this could spell the 1st success in setting up direct talks between moscow and key of in months. we're expecting to hear more about that during vladimir putin trip to to ron. joe biden is in hot water on the home front after failing to drum up support for the struggling

u. s. energy market from oil exporting arab countries. but to get more on the story, we're going to go live now to our new york corresponding kale of mopping. hi there, caleb. so what's the core of the criticism being leveled against biden in the u. s . right now? well, many hoped the biden's trip to saudi arabia would result in the saudi kingdom pumping more oil and driving the price down. but that didn't happen. and to compound issues for the administration, we now have the u. s. department of energy being taken to court and sued by a government watchdog there, pointing out that every release of us strategic petroleum reserves makes the country weaker in dealing. what would be with what would be a real catastrophe if a real catastrophe were to arise? the strategic re release reserves wouldn't be available because biden has been releasing them to try and deal with the energy prices. now, representatives of the petroleum industry in the united states, representatives of petroleum companies, and others,

are stepping up and just saying they don't understand why the biden ministration of going overseas. when they could solve the problem by allowing more oil out what you're at home. instead of meeting with foreign governments to ask them to increase energy production, look to reliable u. s. energy sources here at home, join me and the men and women of america's energy industry. together we can tackle today's energy challenge with energy solutions right here under our feet. now it's important to know that biden has halted all off shore and on shore drilling for oil on us federal land and taken other policies that are consistent with the white house's green agenda. the white house is not a big fan of fossil fuels. they argue, fossil fuels are bad to the environment and so they have taken policies to gender petroleum output in the united states. now they're away. the boys is criticizing by saying that if he wants to get the price of gasoline down at the palm,

he should simply let american oil producers step up to the plate. there's been a wave of republican criticism of the president. here's some of what they've said. how come it's wrong to produce our own oil and gas here, but you can go to saudi arabia and fits bob to try to get it from saudi. i mean, it makes no sense. in fact, what he should have done, and what it should be doing is excavating energy here at home. we have the resources, we need to supply our folks with the energy that we all need. fundamental problem is that the u. s. is the world's leading super power producing oil and gas. and joe buttons administration is trying to do everything they can, but sen hurt to reduce that production. now it's also important to note that a video recently went viral, depicting essentially the difference between the price of gasoline and saudi arabia versus the price of gasoline in the united states. that is video went viral, showing that saudi arabia at the pump,

people pay much less to fill up their tanks. so there's a lot of outrage throughout the united states. there's a lot of frustration with the i gas prices as well as the rising costs all around that inflation the by the ministration is dealing with so amid all of that, many people are asking questions about the very strange decisions the administration is made regarding foreign oil versus domestic reduction, or g scale them off and thanks a lot for bringing us those updates. ah, meanwhile, the e u is reportedly planning to partially unfreeze seized assets of some leading russian banks to ease global food trade transactions. brussels is said to be ready to pass the necessary framework on wednesday. however, the move does not mean that any sanctions are officially being lifted. it comes amid an ongoing western denial that restrictions against russia over ukraine have led to a global food crisis. the thaws expected to be met with anger in kia were officials

are now calling some of their western allies traders. as ortiz fiorella, isabel explained, it seems, the less success ukraine has on the battlefield, the louder it shouts at its western allies. those ukraine ones hailed us partners in the fight against so called russian terror are now increasingly being labeled as traitors. after all, it's much easier to pin the blame on someone else rather than take a look at yourself or change tactics. the latest to fall from calves, very high pedestal is just intrude. oh, that's after the canadian prime minister refuse to allow europeans to freeze this coming winter due to the rise of energy costs across the e. u. simply done in the postal. this is not just about the turbine. this is about complying with sanctions. if there is one violation, now it's only a matter of time before others will follow. russia is duly some purpose, black mailing, others with gas and provoke and sanction breaches. ukrainians will never accept candy's decision regarding the norse trip turbine, which was decided to be handed over to germany in violation of the sanctions regime

. it's not just canada back pedaling. vladimir zalinski is not pleased that some western banks have chosen to continue doing business with russian companies. in fact, the ukranian president even thinks some of them should be tried at the hag. never mind that j. p. morgan, one of the banks mentioned last $524000000.00, largely because of the fallout from the russia ukraine conflict. the bank is one of the biggest players in global commodities and it's economic fluctuations greatly impact the global market. in my view, western banks are committing war crimes because they are helping the putin regime in this specific way, and they are supporting the regime. that's not all ukraine's foreign minister slammed what he called, a hypocritical nato for doing literally nothing to counter russia. the war is always a test that rips masks off, and we all saw real faces. what we saw some revolutionary groundbreaking decisions taken by the european union, which even they themselves did not expect to make. and we see nato as an alliance

as an institution sidelined and doing literally nothing. i'm sorry to say literally nothing. a reminder that since the conflict began on february 24th of this year, ukraine has received billions of dollars worth of weapons and military equipment from at least $28.00 countries, including $25.00 nato members. and unfortunately for ukraine trainers are seemingly everywhere these days with the so called betrayal coming from inside the country as well. the lensky recently fired to top officials, one being long term friend, even because of the head of the country's top security service. and the other being a rena benedict de la, the prosecutor general beaufort, blamed for ramp and treason within their organizations. was the lensky saying that a large number of their staffers were working with russia stone, assuming that he's still not as of today? 651 criminal proceedings have been registered regarding treason and co operation activities of employees of the prosecutors, office pretrial, investigation bodies,

and other law enforcement agencies. in particular, more than 60 employees of the prosecutors office and the s b. u remained in the occupied territory and are working against our state. so while the u. britain and the u. s. are giving billions of a to ukraine and creating a self made economic crisis in their countries. he others still calling many of them traders. what will be enough for ukraine? it seems the country is not only losing ground on the battlefield against russia, but losing faith and the support from its allies who are coming to realize that heavy consequences of their own sanctions. russia's defense ministry says its forces have destroyed a field base, manned by the notorious, neo nazi right sector battalion in southern ukraine, with at least 200000000 militants said to have been killed thereby. russian missiles, according to the latest reports up to 60 soldiers, have also been killed by russian strikes on ukrainian military positions inside the

done yet people's republic plus several storage facilities with ammunition for weapons supplied by the us in europe or also destroyed according to moscow. meanwhile, in the russian control center, so on region and southern ukraine, a key bridge has been bombed local officials blaming, thieves forces for song authorities, se ukrainian troops used american supplied artillery rocket launchers to target the site. no casualties have been reported and not attacked as key as military continues to shell residential areas in the done yet, people's republics, the number of civilian casualties is mounting with many children. among them, ortiz roman culture of visited a mother who lost her daughter during the ukrainian strike on central danielle sc. the number of civilian casualties continues to mount here in the nest, especially so since ukraine started receiving, heavy caliber weaponry and ammunition from nato. now this place in the center of

don ask is just one of the latest strikes according to local officials, a 155 millimeter cannon has struck this place. as the result, a 10 year old girl was ripped apart and i spoke to her mom who is completely devastated. ah ah, a bureau that is to go did not receive one. this is ebony. when you do a quote, you sent us down here, gyla city. you printed the proof,

the puzzle bureau prosper would talk with her or him. could you send it on with her on my asthma children. but most her hearing a good, a good that on 392 at the post the son with education for, for you to you soon to do with . ready veronica, was it a neighbor's house?

just a few doors sat down and just before the strikes began, she ran back home. according to her mom in order to brush her hair and get back to playing with her little friends. when the shell struck, her body ended up right here. you can still see the marks from the blood on the asphalt. the neighbors are all visiting the place of her death right now, bringing flowers, plush toys. and of course, none of this can bring the little girl back as her mom. helena is completely devastated. romano calls for of archie then asked people's republic. ah, china's warned of a forceful response if the us house of representatives. speaker nancy pelosi

follows through with her plan to visit taiwan next month. if the us side obstinately clings to this course, china will definitely take resolute and forceful measures to firmly defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. policy is due to touch down in taiwan in august to show washington support for the island nation. amid rising tensions with china. it will be the 1st visit of a u. s. how speaker to taiwan in 25 years facing still considers the island part of its territory. while the u. s. has not recognized taiwan as an independent country, washington has shown strong backing for ty pay. joe biden has pledged to intervene if beijing makes a move on taiwan. the island has also held its largest ever military drills with us support earlier this month. but to get more on this topic, ran across live now to our guest feed was shrew senior fellow at the pan goal institution thing tank in china. thanks a lot for joining us. first, i want to ask,

what do you think beijing means when it says that it's prepared to take forceful measures and responsibilities visit? well, i think the friendly people should understand what the lock with it becomes true. a me to a china, i mean, and then he to escalation of breaking with one kind of principle which me how, why is part of china? if you look at the us, be a state department website. you know, free this book sample like us, hold it. how was it that the villa take that role from best parts of the white china principal content? what does it mean? that'd be part of the china and not the last the where did it to at one point blank counties delegates and why all native american supporting them. they are in monterey on delegation. lonia does the board of

catalonia, from span. you can see our spanish government will respond us bond isn't that kind of dedication so that what are the mean gym and always you know, the passion and i think a lot when it comes through again, that will be after that. and i'll be more challenging this side because you know, you can look at or ranking. she's right, the serving the us government, the president of the vice president, senior official with it in one, basically the relationship. i want it that way. they are always the plan, but you as a nation, that the vision, all action you know, of my response from them or ministration

is okay. do stuff well, what do you think about the timing of polo sees upcoming visit in august when china is of course going to be marking the anniversary of its people's liberation army. oh yes, that's a, that's a good day. that's a location and not only to the chinese people, the chinese nation, the chinese government is provoking the military that a, i can't tell you that i'm pretty sure they are ready to do whatever it takes. if there's a conflict with the us over one, or if they're separate to one and it moves to be there in front of folks that will i'm sure there will be, you know, the worst thing you know, be nice to meet watch and he is not happy with what your grand that will start, another will asia. so this is, you know, is it trigger having people this is

a frustrating, you know, a lot of people who are stand do we need another wall? do we need another war and people unstable? in particular, south east asia, asia, that's the defense of but he can only be around the world. and now we are having economic or want the world, but a washing machine is not doing enough. remember, washington, the government bite him had repeatedly the committee. that's why cannot principle, which means i want to borrow china, but actually we are doing another rule with the behavior. so this is, you know, i think, you know, probably can never taught us government. they are simply not trying to work. they, i think the chinese be the better prepared for the worst, and whatever happened, a lot of the us publication in the show,

a senior fellow at the pango institution think thank in china. thanks for joining us on the program. global supply chain disruptions due to western sanctions on russia are creating shortages of rare materials, forcing companies that rely on them to raise prices and look for alternatives. japan's main producers of car batteries made from lithium hydroxide have increased prices, almost 10 fold compared to last year. they've asked their clients to deal with it and accept the new expenses. russia accounts for 6 percent of global supplies of lithium hydroxide, which the country is still exporting prices for other metals used in car batteries, such as nickel and copper are also on the rise. unlike oil, rare minerals and other compounds from russia are not under western sanction. however, some battery producers have expressed concern over supplies of russian rare earth metals. but to get more on the subject, we're going to cross live now to our expert guest asher. talk sha street,

thanks for joining us in the program here from the washington dc based think tank at bring and the founder of enter struck consulting thanks for joining us. so the world is facing rising prices, obviously for microprocessors and products connected to rare earth metals. due to countries not willing to buy the being, not willing to buy them from russia. what do you think about that situation? well, it is clearly a political statement and it has to be treated as such. i can show you some of the work you have done recently and my think that you break and you know we've got feel that the whole dimension around in the security or security association has to be dimensions. what is the source concentration and where is the source located? and, you know, what are the, do you want to go risk associated with that resource location and concentration in terms of share the global market. and the 2nd dimension of that on the groups. and

in the room is really to do with market access, whether you have access to little or you do not have access to the so what you really need to ensure a supply security really need to have access to that he source and you need to have access to the route and to be able to deliver. and roy doesn't legit got engaged. that model and industry is tomorrow. i'm actually inclined to draw attention actually what is happening now in europe in the nation space. and i not, it is not a topic you know, the order of minerals, but i will leave you to consider that the number of years, despite the desire to go look at them. most of the european countries continue to have all 5 blocks on the system. and given the sort of a huge ram that you're going to be experiencing, the shortages that you are already experiencing, i'm likely, you know, i think of supplies come of this been done in the next rich sensible

utility is actually going to shut off its existing lights. of, you know, in those of our stations or 5 blocks, i think the similar analogy is now you should be applied for the arthur water sector. that despite this whole discussion already knows it persecution. i think, you know, it is still very early days to kind of, you know, start to worry too much about you know, growth and he's driving up a concentration in the middle of course, middle of it. and in fact, even before we talk about those, we could be what we want to call the lord and all of the knowledge electrification of the economy. just to give you a few things that you get, you know, in a way that you can purchase order. i was on $300.00 of domestic eating tomorrow,

around $400.00. that order was around $400.00 of industry heat. now you tell me on an established base, and you can be very proud to be likely so that 40 percent of our electricity goes on renewable energy. we just $122.00 water $122.00 against a requirement of $1500.00. $1600.00. so which means, you know, we are what, well the, what we need to be in those renewable energy capacity to be able to meet your electrification demands. ah. so imagine that, you know, full time stay installing it capacity base has to go up. what would that do for get better? what would that do to simple, humble aluminum or copper? those of them are. so this is actually why unprecedented and oh, the, the numbers are just wanted us to be able to make it

a realistic scenario assessment if you will. ok, our shuttle shop 3 founder of enter, strike consulting, thanks for joining us on the program. let's news for this, our stick around for more in just about 30 minutes. ah ah, lisa come to the russian state. little never. i've side as i'm phoning most. i'm skiing with 55 with keys on i need to bargain speed. anyone else with we will ban in the european

union, the kremlin community up machine, the state on russia for date and r t spoke neck, even our video agency, roughly all bands on youtube with me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with

me. i can only welcome to wealth apart. more than a century ago. marked wayne remarked that god created war so that americans with geography, i guess today, have supported all recent american lab doors, an attempt to regime change, but he's absolutely appalled by russia's actions in the ukraine. why is that? to discuss it? i'm now joined by a former us national security advisor and former us ambassador to the united nations john bolton. and that's what they're both. and it's such a rare treat for a russian journalist to speak to thank you very much for this occasion. well, thank you for.
