a phone with you with a russian back supervisor of the ukrainian city of the diaz is wounded in a terror attack. according to local officials, i make reports of another explosion in the area, towns, problem and china petroleum corporation agree to trade gas, a national current, please, instead of the us dollar on the side lines of the ongoing eastern economic form in front of both stock, also develop member states from the russian lead military alliance, u. s. t o, as well as the shanghai cooperation organization are all participating in the same exercise. here. trips from 14 countries joined the russian allies,

but drills in the countries far east as they prepared to tackle common threads. plus the tags spawns it's military training programs, the ukranian citizens preparing them to fight russia on the front line, both staying committed to a proxy confrontation with very womack. i'm to you. this is auntie international coming to you live from moscow, with the very latest news update. is good to happy with as we start with the latest from ukraine where russian back full authority isn't as apple. she a region say that's been a terror attack and the city of diaz, the local supervisor, has been heavily wounded and is now in the hospital. another explosion has reportedly been hit head in the area just minutes ago. these are the latest pictures we have from the scene authority. so to supervise this car exploded in

want of an administrative building. as you can see, the vehicle has completely burned out. the supervisor is now said to be in a critical condition with dr. is fighting for his life. meanwhile, key of force is that once again shall the city of america da close to these upper i'll she a nuclear power plant fast, according to russian, back to local authorities, the city suffered an electricity blackout for almost an hour as a result of the shelling, ukraine's army also targeted the nuclear facility, rushes, defense ministry, phase 3 buildings of the site were hit during the bombardment selling house continued to despite the presence of 2, i am observers at the site. well, i got some reaction and inside from finished journalist, the young has put cloning earlier. why don't we? we get some observers there. and i think that every sensible person in the world would understand that you should not shell a nuclear station in what soil conditions. and though caribbean shelling of is of

course, visible on the ground. and that's why the key of green is very afraid that these reports will be undeniable. and all would, i think, will happen is that we will see a huge international political pressure portfolio. and oh, will we see something of its kind like what's happened against the amnesty and others who have been trying to voice the truth? we will see or see it was a weak thing from the beginning for huge pressure. and i. e, i have to take their stands now because you cannot deny the fact that who is showing who and they know for sure that the korean years are doing. the ukraine says that all the local officials have sided with russia, basically, collaborators. what do you make of that? they are living in, they're all home home cities. they are people who have their houses and families and roots in the russian world. and of course they are cooperating with brothers.

oh, to say that's faro way that what you are allowed to do at your home and in your home city is already a state terrorism. because of course the people have to have a right to choose, in which side they are standing for. and these people have done who decided to stand for russian and their roots and for their culture and do. and i think that they have a all right to do that. and, and nobody can condemned that from abroad. and other developments. russia's top diplomats like a larger off stays. moscow has questions i have with future dialogue with the u. s . off the blogs, foreign policy chief, allegedly referred to russia as a fascist regime william dubuque. so we will see clarity. and if we do not receive the transcript today, we will draw the appropriate conclusions. if what has been reported and all the world's media is confirmed, then of course we will have questions about how to continue to do business with

these people. browse office claims, there was an error in translation to english as the as the barrel was speaking in spanish, and however his office is denied to provide this transcript to the russian foreign ministry after it demanded to do. st. ortiz also asked for a copy of the transcript, but the youth diplomat, the diplomats office has refused to share it. his browser original statement as translated from spanish to english. so far we do not have a concrete plan how to defeat the fastest russia and its fascist regime financially as janish put counting. and again, say such statements don't represent the views of the european public in what voice, who are they representing with these kind of statements and what, what kind of conclusions everybody should do about this kind of, this is not the diplomacy whatsoever. they have played hardball against russia,

and they are losing badly. and they cannot stand the because acquaintance of their own actions and principal work of any government is to secure the livelihood of their people. and that's close to, to tional demand. and all these unconstitutional and unlawful against international law actions. what europe union has waged and force it the countries to do, of course, every you, sensible european union citizen should do their own own assessment. that what has happened, where we are heading and do their own conclusions, because facts are on the table of people haven't chosen these kind of situation to call. a crane hasn't done anything to prevent these events from russia tried to prevent a massacre. a 2nd 14th year massacre in dawn,

but you know, the truth is on the table and i'm, i'm sure that when do in the cold cons now and the real problems. and i'm very worried about the people of finland as well because they will not cope with. this situation comes way too fast way too strongly. and there is no magazine. you need to send people to moscow to figure this things out. russia gas pro man, china's national petroleum corporation have agreed to switch gas payments to national current fees, roubles, and ones instead of dollars. the decision was made to be cynical, comic formed by a video conference. the head of the russian energy company says it will simplify transactions and set a new precedence. the new payment mechanism is a mutually beneficial, modern, secure, and practical decision. i believe that it will simplify the process of payment

implementation, become an excellent example for other companies and given additional impetus to the development of our economies. the river us trade agreements will be used in sales and purchases through the power of siberia gas pipeline. discussions also took place over linking the power siberia to gas pipeline in russia on the floor, vol, stoked gas pipeline, a mongolia which will connect the russian and chinese gas transmission systems. gas put me go ready, designing the far east and gas pipeline. we can now cross the 2 shawn calling center for impact and international studies. vice chairman unvil die club experts, nelson wong. many thanks for joining goes on the program. mr. one can, i'd really love to ask you just how significant is the russian chinese decision to switch away from the dollars using national currency. so significant this, this where it is quite significant actually. i mean, considering that the world is changing fast and so far as the global supply chain

is going through a major face of re shuffled. so lis, gas d o between gas brawl and c, n, p c is quite a major contract between our 2 countries. so if this contract is now switch to, to be settled in a ruble, run mean be or young in our local currencies instead of the us. it's quite a remarkable step. it will definitely set a precedent, and it is a milestone step in terms of cross water trade between china and russia. what do you think we're going to see a global trends now where trade is going to be a national currencies? well, it is certainly we're developing towards that direction for sure. this is not a standalone deal. and the, the oil and gas deals between russia and europe now being

declared to be shuttled by roubles. if they, they are willing to do that. so these are not standalone cases, so it's coming more and more countries are going to to make their settlement in local currency is instead of the us dollar. so i think we're going to see more and more happenings like this in the near future. so how would you describe the, the current role of the us dollar and euro in terms of be, well, the economy, the us dollar understand is still king when it comes to global trade. of course, it is still the dominant currency to be used in cross border international trade in today's market, but it is actually the u. s. government that is politicize. that business miss has worried people and was all the happenings that

we can see. they are dividing the whoa into them us and trying to incorporate ideologies, audiological differences or setting separating countries from democracy to or during governments. this is completely destroying global trades that we know. so i think they will, they got themselves to blame the americans. i mean, so the rest of the world is now waking up. everybody has to be prepared. people will have to be prepared for the expected and unexpected. so this is all part of the strategic planning of all countries. we have the situation now where moscow is asking western states to pay for russian oil and dancing rubles western states refusing to do so. but is this policy strategically correct?

especially in light of the latest deal between russia and china or russia as a sovereign state. also needs to protect it or interest, and oreo and gas is the main natural resources that russia is selling to europe. so of course, i fully understand that russia is taking this move and declare that people who wants to buy russian oil and gas, we have to pay you roubles. so there is nothing wrong for any government to look after its own national interest amongst and i sent her for rim park and international studies vice chairman and felt i club. excellent, thanks for your time. really appreciate you and thank you. the eastern economic full. i'm currently taking place in the russian city of laval. stock is a key platform for business in the eastern states of russia. it allows companies,

mainly from the on and asia pacific region, countries to establish new ties and to attract investors. before i'm includes exhibitions panel sessions, round tables, tv debates, business breakfast, and business dialogues. we spoke to the head of the indian center for promotion of international initiatives about the prospects of cooperation between the member states. it was always my dream to come in this beautiful regional for sure because you know, body some reason is to have already hypertension in terms of business and trade relations with the rest of the rest of the world. and especially with the asian country. as i see here, there are more than maybe 30 or 40 countries delegations. i mean also from african countries and latin american countries, not only from asia because this regional focus to make strong relations between that asian part of the world. and we as a young leader from different countries out here in the economy for a strong example and setting up

a strong relations between our preschool future products in different businesses. if you see from the last one or 2 months to what it gives you both because multiple an oil is going on in the world. like all shaking off this things are going on. many countries from like iran legend dina gorky, like they have shown, did strong in bristol, joined the bricks group. and already the been exposed, formidable as introduced during the big summer during the year 2017. doing a shamming summit in china and already argentina has applied will be member of the bricks plus group and next it on also already signed up on this of nicholas group and next many other countries are interested could be part of this, a grid of black form because not everybody understand if we compare the bricks plus group and the g 20 group. so these countries are much more growing in terms of grid will open populations land india countryside is like that, especially at russia, india and china because, but i sharing the angina, i, people, it's a very important role in dillard,

especially in the many people over because this is a 21st century, obviously digitalization and no one country and rule doin. so it is the head of many people. edward every problem give you new opportunities in life. and this for all 6 sanctions give a big golden opportunity to meet card system. indian who pay card system to have a competition and to build up local trade. so for the future to do a lot of our trade relations agreement, we don't need to use the dollar or euro so we can just pay by a local currencies like you on all to like, chinese got into you on like this. so i was going to say sort of the big benchmark for all other growing economy. countries like india is also taking part in the ongoing boston 2022 military drills. among 13 other countries involved in the joint ground forces exercises with 50000 troops. the countries have deployed their soldiers to gain modern military experience at the joint drills and rushes far east

. china is also taking part, bating has sent its army, navy, and air forces, including some 2000 troops more than 300 military vehicles as well as aircraft. and warships. today's rails include 3 stages of joint military actions in preparation for any potential aggression in the east. our correspondent donald quarter reports, i mean today's joint military exercise of vosta 22 has just begun. it's consisting of 3 stages today per state. what you're seeing behind me right now is the initial ground assault under the cover of an artillery bombardment. stage 2 was going to consist of a heavy artillery bombardment as well as an aerial assault and by state 3, which we're going to see later on. that's going to be when the mass assault is going to take place with protection against potential ariel threats. now, today's military exercise is actually very large. it's on a very large scale and in,

in comparison to what we've seen and days before. and that's because member states from the russian lead military alliance, c, s t o, as well as the shanghai cooperation organization are all participating in the same exercise here. so let's take a look at some of the action that we're going to see today was you can hear behind me as well as see somewhat be fighting in the military exercises continuing, and there's actually a typhoon here right now. so the conditions of the weather are really making it harder than it might have been otherwise for the soldiers to carry out their objectives. the fog is very thick limiting visibility as well as this cold rain. that's not making it very pleasant for those soldiers and, and tank operators that are fighting in this simulated exercise than us through the voyage to machines are performing flawlessly. the weather is rough, but the troops are ready to carry out that tasks in any conditions and situations the own forces of better bruce are represented by battalion tactical group. about

$300.00 people are taking part in the drills. the tank battalion has been regrouped from the western borders of better roost. cron, 30 tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles on an artillery battery. that of some heavy artillery firing behind me. you can't really see it because of the fog conditions, but you could definitely hear it. just to give you an understanding, the artillery used in this exercise are definitely the closest to us right now with i obviously you can't see because of the fog, but the infantry are farther away. that's why the explosions are so loud. when you hear these batteries firing, which is thigh, which in were these drills are very important. exercises on such international scale are rare. there are countries from the collective security treaty organization, the shanghai cooperation organization, the commonwealth of independent states, countries, and other friendly nations. here the drills are very important for the security

issues of every participating country. the stated goal of today's joint military exercise is to give the commanders and soldiers involved in it, the experience they need to respond to any sort of threat aimed at the east in the future. that's part of the reason why vladimir putin is personally overseeing these military exercises today. to morrow he said, to attend the eastern economic form and blood of our stock and give a speech of the main theme of this event is going to be the rise of a multi polar world and joy military exercises like these are no good or no doubt going to be an essential part of this rising new multi polar world. because after all sovereign countries, if they want to rule, they need to have capable military's donald quarter r t reporting from near cerise. the u. k. defense ministry is expanding its military training program for ukrainian citizens and it instruct,

seen them on how to combat russian soldiers on the front lines. we are now extending it to 5 weeks to provide the best possible preparation for ukrainian soldiers who will soon be inactive combat operations. we must do everything we can to help them defend the homes against this illegal, an unprovoked russian invasion and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. well, it looks like there's one thing in the u. k. that's rising faster than the energy bells and that's a number of ukranian fighters being trained in the u. k by western allies are reported. 4700 ukrainians have been through a training course in which the british defense minister apparently has full confidence. so what are the trainees actually learning monkey bars flaming hoop, jumping pushups. how to dazzle russian soldiers with their jumping jack skills? you know, it is our question in light of previous western training boon dog holes, which proved to be a total waste of money. in particular. remember those syrian rebels that the

pentagon, the cia and their allies, trained and equipped in a fail bid to overthrow president bashar al assad. well, that training cost, american taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, the trainees vanished and assad is still president of syria. what resounding success. so it's not going to be repeated here. that should be the big question. now this british program for ukrainians reportedly focuses on basic infantry training, which makes you wonder what caliber of fighters they're actually getting if these people need to go through the military equivalent of gym class. thankfully the quote advanced training comes in the last 2 weeks of the 5 week program. who knew that you could be trained to stick it to vladimir putin faster than you can be trained to work a fast food drive through window? well, maybe it does take a bit longer actually, if a newly lead assessment is to be believed ukrainian servicemen fail to reach our

lowest military standards and close quarters. combat exercise is moreover, their weapons training is no better comprehensive nato and u. s. weapons training standards are unreachable for 95 percent of the trainees taking into account the comprehensive assessment results. i can states that ukrainian personnel fails to get the necessary combat skills and knowledge under the current express basic training program. instructors from 8 other ally, countries are also hanging out in the u. k. for the training. maybe they're checking out the sites and enjoying the fishing chips. in any case, it doesn't seem like the folks running things are too interested in where the ukranian fighters and up if a newly published a legit exchange between the british ministry of defense and the swedish investigative outlet. the indict here is to be believed. what procedures, if any, will be carried out by the british authorities to identify where the ukrainian individuals are sent following their training in the u. k. and what happens to

these individuals once they are sent back to ukraine? the u. k. does not track where individuals are sent once they have returned to the ukrainian military's duty of care. so the training may not be going quite as well as planned, but the military industrial complex always comes out the ultimate winner, regardless of what happens on the battlefield. the british gulf strategy fund has invested $80000000.00 in 6th gulf countries, including saudi arabia over the last 2 years. according to its latest reports, international human rights groups, questioning the role of the funds and fairly u. k. a supporting repressive states. egypt funds still include support to government institutions in saudi arabia. the u. k. could be complicit in bodies carrying out or white washing human rights abuses. the u. k. government must ensure complete transparency of these funds and how it is supporting human rights. otherwise, the u. k. is essentially supporting the continued repression of people in the

kingdom, the fund which is overseen by the british foreign affairs, things at boosting, cooperation between the u. k and the gulf. the funds web site emphasized its support for women's rights in this section on saudi arabia. last year with website has since been modified on the references to women's rights have been removed and highly, which is low make as questions. new prime minister live trust about her selective foreign policies back in june. when she refused to criticize saudi arabia's human rights record and shifted the blame on to russia. what i'm focused on is making sure that we are dealing with the major threats to the world. the number one fret, we're dealing with moment is this rat from russia. in order to do that, we need to make sure that we have alternative energy sources. one of the key sources of energy is the gulf region. we don't dealing in a perfect world where dealing in

a world where we need to make difficult just difficult decisions. last class, last martin j award winning journalist editor and on our pond it to discuss the subjects many thanks for joining us on the program. martin. so also tape on the case, selective foreign policy areas that a bit hypocritical for the west to paying russia and china was the bad guys in this context. yeah, i think many people would take that. you just, it does seem to be ranking policy that given person led to charge for decades when it dished out the moral tutelage to these countries in the middle east, on pulling human rights records. and then shifted away from that since just a few months ago. and his trust made that statement was from a minister in britain. and now more recently we're seeing european fabricate when we use a countries to get my oil and gas. so i think, you know, a lot of it is really about the desperate times that we're living in and then only

rights come to choose a. so in britain is not in a position are really talking like washington, china. we can still carry on, i suppose, with narrative london because it suits you as the flame. these mom, she's as enemies in the new role of the gulf strategic fund. what is the main role of where exactly does the money go? do we even know? well, it's quite common really because it's such a tiny amount of money. i mean talking about 18000000 pounds or something like that . for most of these go for leaps that doesn't really even represent lunch. so it's not poor countries. so one has to wonder, know, why would the phone be set up and why would it be so small? i think it's really to offer these countries some sort of governance and holding and nothing really more. that is so much focus in it. i mean, if you look at the program for saudi arabia, you know,

the references to being in justice security. well that's some more on irony. ready when you look at what was on what should be, what you should have, maybe one of these thousands of people who came to trial or something 110 years in prison on the get for me to lead me to helping the saudis actually continue there for them was going to send the story and not the saudis come to get it in the next by west when we are getting on was region fax. it all because that's actually on vacation and populations if there's a possibility the u. k. is knowingly funding some organizations that could have a poor shot record when it comes to human rights. oh, absolutely. yeah. i mean, you know, people, you could very, very my, even the media, if you know a word for he is in the middle east, not covered syria and i find it almost impossible to explain to newspaper editors

in britain, the britain and america founded terrorist organizations in syria, to fight a sad people just don't believe you ration here. you know, there is, there's nothing come, it's put on the left. who knows exactly what to do. it needs to create that. well, if you listen sheets with countries, because it needs to school years a little bit more on oil and gas als on those regimes, it's just haven't got any more years. but i think the british government, i'm a french as well believe that there is someone was pushing hard on hire and now we have a new prime minister in number 10. do you think that lives trust will change her stones on russia now she's taken over. so she probably won't, but i mean, you know, she's gonna have to deal with some very, very harsh realities. and this rhetoric that she has foreign minister is going to have to be turned down and pushed aside. it's completely preposterous for britain in these times. in this situation to think that it can, you know,

talk about a china to make a speaking say martin j award winning journalist that is upon day many thanks for your time. really appreciate your thoughts on this and thank you for joining us there. we're not in financial will be back at the top of the i see that ah, with oh

mm hm. with hello and welcome to worlds apart. 2 and a half millennia ago, the paragon of china's sage is confucius famously know that the way out is through the door. but for some reason, no one seems to be inclined to use that method. this thing appears very timely today, when instead of trying to reduce global tensions following a rupture with russia, the west to speaking up another flight. this time with china is the door to some sort of a peaceful understanding and mutual benefit among great powers to open. well, to discuss that, i'm now a join from beijing by henry wang, the founder of the center for china and globalization. dr. wang, it's great to see you. thank you very much for it.
