1:05 pm
correspondent donald quarter. now reports. well, this year's moscow conference on international security kicked off with a keynote speech by vladimir putin. the russian president focused primarily on the west destabilizing role in the ukraine conflict, but also said that this is just one part of us lead efforts to stow conflict around the world. russian president spoke a bit about those efforts in africa, latin america, and specifically around taiwan. even accused the west of trying to organize a nato style military alliance in the far east. now vladimir putin also said this means 2 things. number one, that the age of unit polarity is coming to an end. and number 2, the west is desperately trying to hold on to the last remnants of it's a gemini around the world. western officials know how many ukraine ukrainians have died in the name of that a gemini, and how many more will die in the name of it in the future. and yet, it seems like that's a risk they're willing to take since,
1:06 pm
according to russian president vladimir putin, the west has been using these ukrainians as cannon fodder and a proxy war against russia. that would genius weed in order to maintain their had gemini, they need conflicts. therefore they decided that the people of ukraine are to be cannon fodder. they implemented the anti russia project to the new crane, lead turned a blind eye to the spread of new nazi ideology. to the massacres of people and on bass that go to the pump top and continue to pump up the key of regime with arms, including heavy weapons. so the situation in ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out this conflict de, through shortly after potent speech we heard from russian defense minister, sergei shai grew, and he echoed a lot of what the russian president said in terms of the end of western unit polarity and nato's attempts to fight a proxy war against russia and ukraine. but he also spoke a lot about the never ending
1:07 pm
a flow of weapons from the west into ukraine. and while unfortunately, a lot of them are making their way into the hands of black market tiers. shy, go also said that others, many others are actually finding their way into the hands of russian troops in the, in the form of war trophies. so it would probably, the most important thing shy goose said during the speech is that russia is not interested in employing nuclear weapons in the ukraine conflict. here from a military point of view, there is no need to use nuclear weapons in ukraine to achieve the set goals. the main purpose of russian nuclear weapons is to deter and nuclear attack. so some very high ranking defense officials from around the world have come here to participate in this conference. and that's basically a rundown of what rushes leadership decided to welcome them with what we spoke with the minister of defense for you. gander, who visited the international security conference, he commented on opportunities for cooperation between russia and you got will have all is good with us in such a development. under wiffle is
1:08 pm
a continuation to president who was talking about what to handle russia in terms of getting more energy was you will, is in disclosing you're trying to industrialize our company on the if we need more . paula been using alyssa, generated from hydro power, hardwood, rural power, united with no, we thing, not enough you really mid more poor. and we know that to conflict with russia. love other nuclear image. i'll bring up some maps for you as we get to the latest from the military conflict inside ukraine and don bass. have a look at these are local officials say that russian lead forces are advancing and
1:09 pm
they don't yet screw public reaching key ukrainian strong holds on the front lines . the neighboring lugens republic is under full control of allied forces and the retreating ukrainian troops have left behind vast supplies of unused ammunition. a correspondent on the ground is art is eager to stand off. ukrainian troops often have to retreat very hastily and abandoning loads of ammunition has become something of a habit for them. like here, for example, you can see dozens of artillery shells. these are sort of get made, but they abandon both soviet made and western supplied javelin. miss isles, british, and laws, equally alike when ukrainian troops in this little village received an order to fall back, it was already too late. russian troops had critically closed in making the escape . a herculean task key of forces ran light on their feet. ah,
1:10 pm
so special units they load whatever they can find into trucks like this one, food is taken to a special place where all these kills and will just comments are examined. those that are deemed safe to use. they are being sent to the front dumpster note. well, they're safely destroyed every other street junction here has been excavated and turned into miniature strongholds inside civilian houses. foxholes providing quick shelter from the shelling if it ukrainian troops were living in the houses kitchen . they dug out a small shelter there so they could hide in case of shelling and survive, even if the home were destroyed. there are trenches across the whole town. they defended their positions very well. they were preparing for many years. they kicked the locals out of their homes, or made them sit in the basements and used them as shields as we've been covering
1:11 pm
this war and the gone back. we've seen countless civilian households, which have been repurposed by the ukrainian military to serve as defense fortifications. this one is no exception. the owners were evicted by the ukrainian troops. and now, well, whoever used to live here, they simply have no place to return to his give you to join us for this program here on ortiz, so german taxpayers will now have to foot the bill for replacing russian gas in ports as a result of western sanctions that is, according to germany's economy minister who was slapped, a special tax across german households is on the market is decreased. levy is that it's a responsible way to distribute and bear the additional costs that have accrued among the population. alternative would have been the collapse of the german energy market and will lead large parts of the european energy market. germany developed a business model that was largely based on the dependence on cheap rushing gas.
1:12 pm
this model has failed, and it is not coming back on time at all. the minister also stretch that germany will need to quote, change in a hurry is the countries households will now be paying almost $500.00 euros more for their gas per year. and the levy will come out of force and october. the 1st, this says, germany's largest importers of russian gas have been struggling to handle the soaring prices. while the government has been under pressure to offer some kind of relief measures for the citizens there, of course and the vice president of the a f d party in the federal state of bavaria. rena roth 1st says people should not have to carry the politicians, but the gas levy is only the tip of the iceberg. but all together, the story energy prices, which have been caused by those sanctions, they are the driver of a very high inflation rate. and we have to ask, who gets the orders for this, for the sufficient for this behavior? and even our energy minister, hobbit has made it here in the united states,
1:13 pm
the not free to, i mean, what's ready? what could have opened already last year in september? it was shut down. this is totally against the interest of the german economy. now we have this major crisis in terms of progression. if people have to carry the burden costs or the gas upright and triplicate it, then this is the and i would say tolerance of freedom choices for petitions, they will have to find a fusion. meanwhile, natural gas prices on the markets in europe have reached the highest since march going up more than 10 percent. this comes as more and more media reports have been revealing so called information fatigue elsewhere in europe and in the west. with public concerns toting from the ukraine crisis towards domestic issues, including that of the energy crunch with our thoughts and opinion. his art contributor rachel marston,
1:14 pm
the price at western leaders are willing to download onto their own citizens in order to maintain anti russian sanctions. keeps going up, the headlines in european media haven't been about any kind of great ukrainian military victories against russia. the kind of headlines we saw near the beginning of the conflict or about how western sanctions are bringing the russian economy to its knees. no. instead, the talk here in europe is all about how much damage is going to be done to european countries and the bank balances of their own citizens. so now the western press is starting to ask whether western unity in favor of egging on ukraine to avoid negotiating peace is about to crumble nearly 6 months into the war. hobbling outrage over the invasion as giving way to concern bordering on panic about it's alarming. knock on effects on energy and food prices and the cost of living. that in turn is feeding doubts about western staying power. how long before europe's already shaky unity crumbles? 6 months into the conflict information fatigue is creeping in front pages of
1:15 pm
european media spend more ink on cost of living than on military operations. opinion polls revealed that energy prices are scaring more people than russia nukes . so western governments, art putting the squeeze on russian president vladimir putin as much as they are on the daily lives of their own citizens. switzerland, for example, is the 1st country to announce rolling blackouts as a strategy that's on the table for this fall. italy, spain and germany are the 1st to take the lead in policing room temperatures across the country with limits for heating and air conditioning. all these measures because of the looming energy crutch. now, you know, things are getting pretty bad when the leading german media there spiegel is calling for the government to fire up the nord stream to pipeline, to bring relief to the german in european economies with russian guess. at some point, public pain at home overwhelms western citizens, initial good will toward ukraine. and although sweden and finland uses such wasting
1:16 pm
ukraine as a pretext for dropping their non aligned position in favor of join nato. earlier in the conflict and new survey finds the 80 percent of austrians want to maintain their military neutrality. even amid all the western rhetoric painting moscow as a threat to europe. and even poland, which was spitting nails at russia at the outside of the conflict, is now struggling to find polish volunteers to help ukrainian migrants. human rights advocates already fear the return of well an unfortunate mentality. i know what happened before the war. how poland, the polish government, big companies treated people from ukraine. i think this attitude will come back very soon. initially, westerners was received peace return quickly to ukraine and gave the benefit of the doubt to their leaders that they knew how to do that. but there's clearly been a horrible miscalculation from which western officials art backing down, retard
1:17 pm
u. s. army commander daniel davis lays out the inconvenient truth in black and white. there is no chance, no military path that ukraine can win this war. there simply isn't. we have to be honest about that. and so that if you keep the sanctions on there, they hurt us more than they heard potent did. western officials know that they be dragging their own citizens into a costly losing battle while misleading them into believing otherwise. or are they just so blinded by ideology that they mistook their desires and fantasies for reality. either way, they're starting to realize that the popular revolts over anti russian sanctions that they were trying to engineer for russia are now much more likely to hit their own countries. instead, it is good to have you with us for this program. so the us, once iran 2 abandoned its, quote extraneous demand and talks on renewing the international nuclear deal. and his response to the latest dropped agreement. tariff says, washington isn't being flexible enough. the us state department begs to differ. the
1:18 pm
only way to achieve a mutual return to compliance with the j. c. p. away is for iran to drop further. unacceptable demands that go beyond the scope of the j. c. p. o. we have long called these demands, extraneous, they have no place in vienna. they have no place in the discussions regarding a potential return to compliance with the j. c, p u. s. and iran, or at all over the us nuclear watchdogs probe and uranium traces found with 3 undeclared sites in the country at around once the inspections dropped. however, the e u for its part in the international deal. once iran to address concerns about the uranium sites. iran's demands include the removal of its elite military unit from a u. s. terrorist and blacklist which washington has refused to discuss alongside the nuclear. you know,
1:19 pm
the 2015 deal involved terran agreeing just so new restrictions on its atomic industry and exchange for the easing of western economic sanctions. however, the u. s. unilaterally withdrew from the deal in 2018 under then president trump, who branded the agreement as fundamentally flawed. the current pope to revive the pipe, cuz been ongoing for 16 months. leslie moore and alfred live to iranian foreign policy analyst cited most of our hush chest. them good to see you today. thanks for joining us on the program. talking the talk, joe biden says he's interested in securing an agreement with iran, but does it look like he's really walking the walk on this? hello, and thanks for having me. well, true. you know, since the start of the talks, iran has reiterated that it would take part in the talks for removing the sanctions . and the leverage is any kind of leverage is including the so called you know, problems with the, you know, the politically 3 been problems with the i,
1:20 pm
e, a. and in other words, you may not go into a deal, especially with a country like the united states, which has been very much irresponsible, at least with regard to so many nations, including iran. and then they keep all the pressures in place. that's the plan. they want to keep the sanction of the structure in place. they do not want to take responsibility for their last. ready ready withdrawn from the j. c p. o a irresponsibly, they do not want to show committed to any kind of deal. if we arrive at a deal ever and all throughout the past months when there is been kind of sale me through the thought, it's been only the only only uranian party that has been presenting initiative to get out of the state. me and 1st, sorry, quickly. i do,
1:21 pm
i really apologize. i do apologize. you're quite a bit of a bit of a sound delay here as well. so. so, so who is it possible? is it possible to, to, to choose a side here? is it iran, or is it america in europe? who is, who are at loggerheads? who's the one impeding progress? i should say when it comes to this nuclear deal, the united states? absolutely. they are not as states because europeans are just pursuing the united states policy. they are no independent parties, they are called coordinators, they are not really party otherwise when the you with agree that the deal. thank you. the europe you should have made up for the loss, benefits of your ron after the us full out. but they never did that, they made promises for 14 months, but they never did any kind of action. right now. they do not move aside from the us policy. that's the problem. the main problem is that the us does not want to remove the pressures from iran because they are not opt for all can for conflict
1:22 pm
resolution. they just need to contain the ra there has been, or derek been 6 agreements between iran and the us, or iran, and the 3 year old and allies of the united states in the last 2 decades over at amazon, iraq, it's all me, program j. c. p. o being the last one in all these cases, even american experts and official than european they all state that you're on has been always in compliance. what is undertaking that the, the europeans and americans are just one single commitment that has been removed in the factions, and they've never done that. why? because iran all these believed in conflict resolution. and i believe that's the problem because americans do not really believing conflict resolution. they are just looking for containing iran power in multiple areas, including the nuclear district. i wanted to ask you, if i may, some people have, some analysts have described the sanctions, the western sanctions on iran is being essentially
1:23 pm
a noose around the neck of the entire country. and yet, if you look at something like bricks, for example, iran is interested in joining bricks of the ceo as well. and we've seen bricks, members, china and russia are getting increasingly closer with iran, for example. they're doing trade. they want to do trade in national currencies, not with a us dollar china. russia who's been helping iran in the energy sector a china has been helping iran, allegedly with miss all technology g thing. they're a partners in the west that are concerned about the burgeoning blossoming relationship between china, russia and iran, and potentially iran joining bricks. definitely, definitely. this is been stated very clearly by the us administration, the former one and the present biden administration. they have been criticizing the u. s. policy, the maximum pressure policy saying that iran, china, and russia are driven towards each other and let's be honest. yes,
1:24 pm
we are now living in a new. ready era, date power is being on a transition from the western hedge, a monic rule, to the east, to the chinese, to the russians, iranians and some others. and the united states and european allies do not want that to happen. they mean to create a 2nd war war condition, a like a like a wardrobe like conditions and environment in the world to see me on the other side of the atlantic. and to let the world consume of its energy consume ob me and i'll be drowned in rising prices and wars and conflicts so that. busy demise, i'm decline of power is not a will not bring him down to the 2nd or the 3rd place to be, you know, country that's not as powerful as before. so what they are doing to china, iran to russia, is all within one single global strategy. and that's a very,
1:25 pm
very important point, because this means these 3 are driving towards each other if civilization, a war, or of resistance against the, against the united states. chinese, russian, with the rainy and do not mean to do their global security and order. this is the united states that has been provoking ukraine. this is the united states, nancy pelosi that has been visiting taiwan. they have been imposing sanctions, illegal sanctions on iran. and they are not on it because we have just ask them for just 3 things. 33 simple things. remove the ambiguous words from the text you of maint variable plot promises, please give us their written war. and they refrain from that and also provide us with guarantees you have left the agreement. that's the cost that you need and the price you need to pay. you must ensure a foreign invest as much as the wrong that you will see on the bill. and let's, let's, let's put it this way. there have been companies, europe in companies,
1:26 pm
an aging companies talking to us since last year saying that we know the us is irresponsible. we know that if you arrive at a deal, the us would not stay on their death for maximum one year maximum one year. and if you want to make a, provide us with an opportunity for investment investment means for a decade or 2, we would not come to iran for just one single year of a deal. well, i think some are a good point share just on our t international site. i'm sorry, sorry for jumping in, but i really just don't have time for this. my wish i had more time, but i think he makes them very interesting comments about this new polar world. but let me putin has said nothing can stop the changes that are happening world right today. a saw it more stuff, her chest, them iranian senior foreign policy analyst and public diplomacy strategist. thank you. often stone throwing riots. that's how the
