ah, you with a case that bad my life coverage on the on screen and they're trying to bad me from politics because there's a case of contempt against me. m, ron can speaks exclusively to r t in the aftermath of the former pakistan prime minister being charged with threatening current government officials, much to the anger of his supporters with priority crew is forced to evacuate after getting caught under artillery fire while

following the advance of russian troops in the done yet so public. a brazilian cartoonist uses his art to call out ukraine for what he say's are the war crimes against the most vulnerable boy with the residents became the 1st victims of mines, especially children and the elderly. i'm trying to do the work that we can warn civilians. it's an attempt on my part to assist with those are headlines to reach today wherever you are catching the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow on to the world news update on our t to our top story. the west expects their problems are going to be, are problems, but this will not happen with former pakistan prime minister. im ron can toll dar t during an exclusive interview. this thursday. the wide ranging discussion came

shortly after honest lama bad chord extended his bail following terrorism charges against them. they have made this into a terrorism case. they ban my life coverage on, on, on, on screen and, and they're trying to ban me from politics because there's a case of contempt against me as since i left office 4 months back. never has there been such a public response for, for any political party as it is for my body today? the government is panicking. they out there watching us growing popularity. we were swept up by elections in the biggest province and been job. there were though other to bi election which was swept so they are bit scared and that's why they're clamping down. if we go back, mister can to, when you are, i stayed from power in the spring time. you've mentioned several times that certain

documents exist that confirm foreign interference in your removal from power. are you in any position to tell us what those documents may be? well deserve the cipher alert conversation between the bogus than ambassador and washington. and the under secretary of state, or of the you of the u. s. there is a conversation between them where he threatens the pakistani investor. that unless i m, ron hahn was removed as a prime minister in a no confidence a motion that book that still wasn't table as yet that there would be consequences of august sun. the biggest problem is that western countries expect their problems through to become our problems. let's offer you some background in this, in april and no confidence vote removed them. ron count from the country's top political position down the x p. m has been holding raleigh's regularly since

earlier this, not, his chief of staff was arrested on charges of tradition. mr. can also insist ship bonds, goal was tortured by police in custody. something officially. it was not accusation . words used in a campaign raleigh to take action against the police chief and the judge which led to the terrorism charges. now he's currently immune from arrest until his next high court hearing an august 31st. and run con, came under intense international pressure for visiting moscow earlier this year. pakistan's former leader told me he was simply seeking to boost economic ties. well, look, you don't countries, foreign policy must be for the benefit of their own public. 220000000 bug, a son is elected me. my bride, he had to be there. what is good for that?

their benefit, their rights, that interests that has to be my priority. and so, what i had took the trip to russia, and this was all the stakeholders on board. the idea was that we would improve our relationship with russia. and we would, you know, we have trading links with russia. we want to improve the trading links. we already were a pipeline, a gas pipeline was, was being plan 56 years back before i came to power. so we wanted to cement that contract and then we wanted to buy cheaper oil from, from russia, as well as we 200000000 budget sundays of hon. 50000000 below the poverty line. 15000000 just above the poverty line. when the prices go up, when inflation bites in western countries, they only, they just have

a drop in the standard of living in the country, people go below the poverty line that going to have to square be the day. so my interest was the people up august on and obviously this didn't go down when you'd be able to watch your exclusive interview with former pakistani prime minister in brown. com. it is a comprehensive sit done in full later in the day you're on rti k . let's news now to the latest developments in the ukraine, conflicts, according to authorities, ends up rogia, electricity supplies sobbing, restored throughout the region after what seemed to be continuous shelling by key of forces that affected the work of the local nuclear plants there. and earlier report said, a number of varies in some osha, including the cities of her son and meli. topo faced the black coat. that's after shelling started fires in a forest that caused the failure of power lines. now,

russia's defense ministry claims more than $300.00 ukrainian troops had been killed in the past 24 hours among the troop fatalities were said to be more than $200.00 at reserve soldiers who were targeted in a strike on the shop, lino railway station, nuts in the south east of ukraine. on wednesday, kia claimed at least $25.00 civilians were killed, more than 30 injured and not strike on the real estate luncheon at which it immediately blamed on moscow. russia has repeatedly stressed it does not target civilians. less russian allied forces advanced on the territory of the danielle republic. the ton of of d. f. cap. one of the main i'd posts of ukrainian fighters is now being encircled. now it is a strategic point. as keith is accused of regularly shelling done yet can other times from positions there are correspondent, eager sit down of reports from the frontline where her crew came under artillery fire. ah

right away the village of the crop scare, wipes out any doubts. it is still very much a front line. we're here to join in a lead russian special ops unit supporting the offensive on this part of the front . with a sudden you said to them of affordable ukrainians, abandoned their positions as always in a hurry. they took away all of their inventory. you can see a 4 may jacket here. madison's 1st aid kits, and over here is their fortification trench. so the main purpose of this fortified area, just outside the village of krakowski, was to north allow this village to be encircled from the south. now also this position was where the ukrainian forces tried to briefly gain

a foothold after it was clear that the village itself had fallen. we are quite literally treading on ag shows. here. upon abandoning this position, ukrainian troops rigged the whole area. they used cluster munitions to scatter hundreds of anti personnel mines all over the place. such munitions are explicitly bound by the geneva convention. the blast is more than enough to tear one's foot right off zap as have their hands full extracting anti tank minds to russian motors and howard says he abound enemy positions around the clock. ukraine's artillery pulls no punches either. something that we witnessed 1st hand with yet keep troops efforts to stool rushes advance proved to be futile with the main

fighting, already engulfing the streets of our tour mosque am august dawn of reporting from the dawn bass r t. now the petrosky district antoniette cans been shell by ukrainian forces with anti personnel mines. that's according to local officials who sent the attack occurred on wednesday. it is not the 1st time keith has been accused of using mines, banned under international law. their reported regular use on the front lines and on bass or rollin moscow, which has aimed at bringing international attention to the issue at one of those here on the news. while behind me, who saw the protest was a brazilian artist who then created a work at showing the menacing nature. he says of the ex, those of carlos le tooth leaves, his intention was a high war. crimes being committed on the most vulnerable law is the 3rd. this is my work was to show the civilian population, the danger of these explosive devices, the dot, the cities. the inhabitants of the 1st victims of mines,

especially children, and the elderly, or international treaties regulating the production and use of these mines. in my opinion, they should be completely bad. i believe that the use of these mines in cities is a war crime. there are clear examples in history, cambodia, and angola with a greatly from these minds. even at the end of the was they continue to operate, is time to decide which side you're on. it's important to understand what's at stake. you can't stand aside, i quite clearly understand that russia was pushed into this conflict. this is the fault of nato expansionism. it was necessary to create a certain situation which was done in ukraine in order to put pressure on russia. push it into conflict, just if i western sanctions and attacks on russia. as during the cold war, washington is intensifying pressure on, on cra, to cut ties with moscow, saying any cooperation with russian companies and banks puts turkey at risk of

coming under us sanctions. any individuals or entities provided material support to you as designated persons are themselves at risk of us sanctions. turkish banks cannot expect to establish corresponding relationships with sanctioned russian banks and retained their correspondent relationships with major global banks, as well as access to the u. s. dollar and other major currencies. well, just a reminder, turkey is the only nato state that did not join a cascade of western economic sanctions against russia. the turkish president rather positioned himself as intermediary in the conflict in ukraine, urging both countries to start peace negotiations. earlier this month were edge of tiber to one on to his russian counterpart, vladimir putin agreed to boost cooperation of the summit and sought she well to discuss developments competent, say we're joined live in the program by yourself or m political unlist. in istanbul, benjamin shaw paris school of technology and business. on this center for china and

globalization representative, you're both very welcome to the program. use of can we kick off with you a turkish reaction to, to what is mounting pressure and anchor being a deserted by washington? what is it, what, what is tricky seeing here? well, i don't think that the mounting pressure from the west is any surprise, sir. experience this in the past, whether it be the affair with us. pastor brunson during his court trial to object the subject, the sanctions and again during the $400.00 acquisition to subject the sanction. so western thanks to us. thanks to something that unfortunately knows all too well and of the reaction right now is fairly mute. we haven't seen any strong reaction to said that it's going to continue doing business with russia and not allow

sanctioned individuals access the bypass western sanctions. but that doesn't change the fact that you're going to continue doing business with russia. this is very important for turkey as president, rigid diabetic one. i think he made a position very clear with his trip the sochi, 3 weeks ago to meet russian president vladimir put benjamin. it seems america's sanctions aren't just about solely targeting russian. it's not a fur claim. well, for this time to me, giorgio, of the world does not side with the us about $150.00 countries in a well, including a china in the brakes are not sanctioned in russia. they continue to tre with russia, especially many critics argue that sanction create serious energy and cross shortage and record inflation in decades. yeah. use of turkey has repeatedly reiterated, as you are saying, it's position to, to not sanction moscow over the conflict in ukraine preferring not just to be

useful for to, to try and bring it by piece in the conflict. but the overall issue there is no one allowed to be neutral in washington's eyes. unfortunately, that's what it looks like. there is no gray area with the united states. their positions normally is you're either with us or against the stand. unfortunately, that position might have been great during the post world war 2 era and unipolar world, but we're shipping towards a multi polo world. now, in the globalized economy, close relations with multiple countries wide foreign policy portfolios don't really allow this type of black and white foreign policy viewpoint, especially toward other countries. when you try to impose this on other countries, so being allies should not necessarily mean my enemies your enemy, because there's a lot of gray areas. there's wide interest that you're enjoyed with the united

states, but also with russia, with ukraine. but again, as i stated with russia and china at the same time, so you're going to continue doing business as usual, is acting. you can not from it. he cannot make perspective. there is no conflict. can you claim to continue doing business with russia and ukraine is continuing to sell weapons ukraine, but continuing to cooperate with russia and other areas as well. so i think that this policy has been effective. it brought us to green export deal. it brought us the trilateral in, at the diplomacy form. and if there's going to be other breakthroughs, it's most likely going to happen under turkish mediation. so the weather really needs to get over this. benjamin you said there are $150.00 plus countries that aren't in agreement with the u. s. that's 1. 84 percent of the world just looking at the figures here they haven't joined in with western sanctions. does not mean washington is going to have to target all of them as well. and as an aside to that,

in your view, does washington fear independent policy choices by country such as turkey, india, china, and it's simply not hiding it anymore. you looks like the u. s is shifting focus for what is the course of all days. the worship, russia has been claiming the extension of the nato, which are the u. s. has not addressed that much. and obviously the u. s. is spending to on so many countries why know? because really, it is a gains and all of the interest of these countries, especially when they come to necessitate necessities. it is to be not up to this country to trade or not free with russia. just as the european countries are still buying billions of dollars worth of energy from most china and other countries have the rights to decide home to maintain normal trade relationships with,

especially no less than one 3rd of the member states of the nation have supported dissension that gains of russia use, can i talk about the money part of this? the u. s. deputy secretary of the treasury has said that on cra, cannot retain its corresponding relationships with major global banks. if a cooperates with russia, i put a t. how long of these quote, major global banks been under america's control? well, looks like every the us dollar was considered the international currency of choice . but again, i think the sanctions in the long term are actually going to hurt the united states because it's forcing other countries now to slowly find alternative. this was the case back in 2018 when to go with sanctioned for the during the past or brunson, trial. and during the, at $400.00 issue because to get started talking about trading and local currencies,

especially with russia. that was one of the conversations back in 2018 between ardon and now we're seeing russia talking about trading with rubel. we're seeing russia expanding, it's near payment system. we're seeing china create an alternative to switch. we're seeing more talk about local currency. so, sooner or later, the rest of the world is going to create a viable globally accept the alternative to the switch system. and there is going to be a 2nd convertible currency that is not a western currency. it looks like most likely that's going to be the you want in the future once it becomes more convertible. and that's going to create the probably the most serious shock to us power in a very, very long time. very interesting point. benjamin turkey is a nato member, as we mentioned by remaining neutral, is not being seen by washington as tantamount to being disloyal. and what does that say the overall picture,

but they relations and cooperation within the alliance i think to keep being neutralise strategically in useful or to ukraine and also the united states. it does not help them much to have the same nieto nation in this war about the attitude to russia, but with someone some insider which is turkey. this time, you're taking the attitude could play an extremely important role in mediation, especially because tugee has traditionally been trusted by bro washer and ukraine. as long as piece harps continue to be on the table, turkey, it would, could possibly pay people to roll in the mediation process. and the world needs nothing just to give peace, some hope or use if, if i can just i was looking at some western headlines. some western newspaper

headlines the other day by, by some editorials. and the general view in turkey was that there's a fear of quote, losing ankara by, by the west in that kind of strange language as if it's been part of, of the western thinking all along. but is it a genuine issue that, that turkey is not strong enough to say listen, we're, we're, i don't our own here. we look after on strategic domestic issues and whatever, wherever the cards fall in that, that's where it's going to be. well, i think turkey's relationship with the west, from a western perspective is, can't live with them, can't live without them type of scenario. of course there's issues that are major flash point issues that you just can't get along with the web and it feels like it's impose the double standard. but again, there are issues that is absolutely critical for the way whether it be middle eastern and mediterranean black. the security,

whether it be logistics energy quarter, these are all the issue that tricky is absolutely critical. counterterrorism absolutely critical. now from a turkish perspective, to get the, the growing, growing every single day. i think one of our most common over the past year is to is we're entering a century where the sun remembers that it rises in the east. so our on recognizes this growing u. p. recognizes that you need to expand and improve his relations with the actors like china, russia, india pockets, and it circles foreign policy has been geared towards that it's moving in that direction. and i think you're right now is the country that best is prepared for the most people there will diplomatically, it has been instituting this now for 10 years. wait for anyone else. and what people, what many western nations criticize for today is exactly what they're going to be copying in a while. we are right on time, but really enjoy that discussion. thank you both use of her and political analyst,

and benjamin shar, from the par, skill of technology and business on the center for china and globalization gentlemen, thank people. now the fall, i to from the sanctions against russia over the conflict in ukraine as turned europe into quote, the 3rd world of the western world economy thought is, according to an article recently published in forbes magazine. it comes as figures show european stock market data for 22 percent compared to last year or 2 contributor ritual marcenough hurting terribly. it's investors who are starting to wonder whether the european union is on the verge of becoming the 3rd world of western economies. according to that forbes article, and you really have to wonder why heads of state across the block are just sitting there, slack jawed, and just letting it happen. what's even more troubling is that no one's talking much about how the you can pull out of this kamikaze tailspin. but the new piece in

forbes dropped some clues as to possible outcomes. micro traders are looking for 2 signals for europe and the world economy. these are a sci fi in ukraine, or europe becomes so desperate this winter on supply chain. so stretched that it has no choice but to relax some sanctions. or convince non u partners to be label and trunk ship russian commodities to look in compliance with the own rules, but really doing an end around. now your leaders are behaving like they will by my zeal one day. german chests are off. schultz is in canada, bragging about a 5 year hydrazine energy project, while his own industrial plants are staring down the barrel that shut down right now. now the next day, berlin is back to firing up coal plants. and yesterday, french president amendment my co rebroadcast, had a meeting with ministers. you know, the kind that is not usually for public consumption. now the message, apparently wine frances, to here is that the end of abundance, and there's need to make sacrifices for freedom. now, doubtful friends citizens feel more free right now as their currency crashes and

cost of living skyrockets, along with energy prices. you know, we're talking here about the 2nd largest economy in the u after germany, and that helps to keep the economies of the other embers states of fro afloat. now france, thought i could bank on nuclear to replace gas from russia, but now we've learned that it can only get about half of its nuclear power plants operating. so the big problem is that no one really knows where these top yukon emmys are headed, and investors citizens would like to know where all this is going. and it's pretty clear that the leaders of the nations themselves, art inspiring confidence in their moves. instead, they're acting like they're just bystanders to a crash when reality they've aided and abetted all this at every term by supporting self harming top down sanctions at the eas, supranational level to the detriment of their own economies. now these heads of state were elected democratically to uphold their own citizens interest above all else. and when you have to read the riot act here on citizens about how their way of life is ending as mac hold in yesterday,

then there's no doubt you failed miserably. in your basic duty as an elective head of state, now at least the leaders can still brag about being unified in their failure, as they bury their own responsibilities and elected officials inside the black you box and hide behind the unelected. you commission present ursula vander lane, skirt, or pansy, whatever the case may be. you know, maybe that warm and fuzzy unity talk will heat europeans homes and put food on their tables. this winter to the international monetary fund does resume be allied negotiations with tra lanka and a bid to alleviate the severe economic crisis that's engulf the country. the i m. f . delegation met with local officials to discuss necessary reforms to economic and financial policies. negotiations earlier in the summer were abundant when civil unrest erupt. it over the crisis, which is resulted in a severe lack of fuel and basic necessities. the in suing chaos lead to the fall of

the government and the president clean the country before quitting. well, we spoke to global affairs analysts, shamal, fernando and colombo above the talks on what may come from them. bowman is expecting about $2.00 to $3000000000.00 bailout package. and the communication has requested with the 3 lincoln authorities to restructure to sustainable liberals for this re learn from the economy by erasing its revenue to about 11.9 percent in the next half of the year by 223 relative. it's going to be a tough time because the auster, demetrius test, scotts, or texas tech should be raised job got to be there. and about, i guess about a half a 1000000 people lose their jobs for this year. the country need $6000000.00,

even if a bailout comes from the i even if it's going to be $2.00 or $2.00 to $3300000000.00 sold to bridge the gap under the anybody missions like india, china and other nations who need to come and help shem out for none though. well, if you've never heard of imperial japan secret unit 731 know is perhaps the time to part that right or documentary death factories, it's gruesome. it's fascinating. an equal measure as well. it gets going rather head oh, the news.

ah, who is the aggressor to day? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number those constantly growing up in jo, which of the problem was to call soon as we speak on the bill in your senior mostly mine the we're, we're sure we're banding all in ports of russian oil and gas news. i know they plenty of those lower with the letter from there were given regarding joe biden imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. ah, ah,

ah, unit 731. did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to prisoners who were tied to steaks in a field. we have evidence that they gave disease infected chocolates to children. i plead guilty to having exercised to direct guidance of preparations for conducting biological warfare. chiefly against the soviet union, biological bombs were to be dropped on vladivostok. but a sheila about ask jetta to plug visions tribunal.
