international community, which remains focused on ukraine. a wonderful friday morning here in moscow, and you're watching r t international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. now our top news story ukraine has shelled the russian border town of lou key in the bell garrett region, killing one civilian. 2 more people were wounded in the attack. according to the local authorities, with power was partially cut off in the town as the local sub station was damaged, the shelling targeted residential areas. 3 cars and 8 houses were hit. the regions governor says emergency services are at the scene with power now being restored comes after more attacks on russia's bell,

go to the region over the last 24 hours. a border checkpoint was hit in the near k of car read in nick to have also in the area causing a fire at a customs facility. meanwhile, ukraine says it considers targets inside russia valid and will not sit idle when the opportunity comes to strike. that's according to a key of official we will return fire regardless of where they are. we don't plan to sit still. we will respond and kind and fire back at them when we get the opportunity that includes preventative strikes against rushes, critical infrastructure. the statement contradicts earlier claims from kiev and washington, the us secretary of state said that ukraine had pledged not to hit russian territory when it received high marks, rocket systems. and back in may let me as a lensky insisted. ukraine is not interested in attacking russian territory. someone in the white house are saying that we might be using them to

a tech russia look, we're not planning to attack russia. we're not interested in russian federation. we're not fighting on their territory specifically with regard to weapon systems being provided. the ukrainians have given us assurances that they will not use the systems against targets on russian territory. there is a strong trust bond between ukraine, the united states. the threat comes as moscow said, deliveries of long range missiles to key of threatened russia and would cross a red line which could lead to dire consequences. when you have gotten the letter, we have repeatedly stated that pumping ukraine would western reference least a promulgation of hostilities and more civilian casualties. and bring the situation closer to the dangerous line of direct military conflicts between russia and nato. if washington decisive supplies key f with longer range miss out, it will cross the red line and become a direct party to the conflict. sir flounders is the co director of the activist group, the international action center,

and she said that he has threats to strike russian territory. come with the support of the united states. every step of the way the u. s. has violated what they said they were going to do. and frankly, ukraine has not a shred of independent action. they are every step of the way armed, trained, commanded by us forces. they make no decisions on their own. and the weapons they have or not their own, they're directly from the us and nato pipeline. so that's why it's so dangerous and it's also a dangerous moment. because from washington they see the meeting, the shanghai organization meeting leaders of the world. from president president g, moldy and so on. moving together, actually later is more isolated than they were. you is in shock,

waves of economic recession and falling energy. so they're looking forward to expand the because they have no solution. and so far, the hope, what was their own? it was to economic payoff in russia. why did not happen? so the extreme frustration on a mold attempt to expand the war for them. and other developments in the dynamic people's republic. local authorities say that the ukrainian army has shelled residential areas in the city of done yes. leaving one woman dead. towns in the surrounding area come under daily showing from the ukrainian military. according to local officials. the russian defense ministry says up to 30 ukrainian troops were killed and 10 armored vehicles destroyed in missile strikes in the heart of region . elsewhere in the southern kershawn region, the ukrainian army lost up to $500.00 troops and 80 armored vehicles as it

conducted and offensive in the area. meanwhile, we've got this latest footage from the russian defense ministry captured from drones, which shows russian artillery firing at ukrainian positions. the ministry says the images show ukrainian are the ukranian army in the middle of an offensive, or rather for preparations for the offensive while they are being shelled by the russian airborne units. today mark de 2 of the s c o summit and he was backed capital. yesterday the russian president met his chinese counterpart. the leaders re iterating their drive for a multi polar world on friday. putting is expected to conduct bilateral talks with the indian prime minister and the turkish president. are des maria phenomena is across the story. friday is the 2nd on the main day of the asio summit. here in was back a song, the biggest and 20 years. 14 world litter is have already arrived to the congress center that you can see behind me. global security will, of course,

be at priority dear in today's discussion. and also a lot has already been said earlier on thursday, as well as a had of this summit about the need to push multiples parity participants. i go in to discuss this new world order and non western centric. one that we can now see emerging as the west is slowly but steadily losing its haine funds and trust. dish and high corporation organization today unites 20 countries with a combined population of 3 and a half 1000000000 people. literally, it is a power as super power. we can say that simply cannot be ignored, and as experts say, today's meeting, today's summit is a lot about just showing the outside world that the countries are spending together . i'm following that pandemic hard years of corona virus been damaged and are ready to work together to achieve their mutual goals is also expected that after the

summit, wideman pollutant will continue. he's a tattoo tad's, and he's forthcoming meeting with mr. moldy. the din leader is very much anticipated here. also vladimir potent is going to meet turkey's at the gun to of course discuss global matters and energy security, particularly the russian gas supplies. and also the summit comes at a sad time of yet another bloody escalation at the border between as it by john and other men is you know, they were a severe clashes there in the last 7 days. more than 40 people were killed and of course wide more potent during his meeting with mister r. leave the leader of as it by johnny's, going to discuss this situation. the prime minister armina was also expected here a had the summit, but then the last moment mr. pushing on said that he's not going to attend. he's not going to come to was becca, stand exactly due to the clashes at the border,

but we know that her earlier russia's defense minister had a phone conversation with mr. pushing on the situation seems to be under the control, and of course this will be and the folks at, at the focus during putting i leave meeting, we'll keep you updated on how it is going here. russia's foreign minister survey love, rob said, talks between russia and china are going well as expected. that's it's washington continues to pressure beijing to follow us foreign policy and distance itself from moscow. our message ship it to china is i think, been consistent that the, this is not the time for, for any kind of business as usual with mr. boone. but of course, everything went great. as usual. it's these negotiations are always structured in a businesslike, concrete ways with a discussion of the tasks that the relevant ministries face. that's how it went this time as well. this comes in mid joe biden's message that beijing is a threat due to china's catching up. the u. s. appears to see other countries

success as a loss for itself, remaining wary of global competition. earlier my colleague nikki, are and discussed the story with the host of the r t program worlds apart. oksana boykin. to me, that's a very xena fallback. if not the brief statement. what is it supposed to mean that only the americans entitled to some sort of living standards that the rest of the world has no right to to be catching up here. you really have the, the leader of the free world, essentially saying that the rest of the world is not entitled to catching up with, with the united states. i mean, how else would you interpret that, given again, that the united states has accumulated enormous death? it is already living at the expense of the rest of the world. it has degraded the college of this planet. and why is it supposed to go like that the indefinitely without any one else laying a claim to better life as so many countries have been resolving their long standing

issues by themselves? it seems without seeking help from a 3rd party. so do you think we, what we're seeing is a great to trend in your politics. only get resolving is, is a big statement. there are starting to negotiate differences. the overall assumption that the west knows what's best for the rest. it's no longer working and it's not no longer working, even for the west, let alone for the rest of the world. and this countries are just taking initiative and into their own hands and pursuing the own national interest. and they're not doing that against somebody against that, where they're doing that for themselves. and i think as time goes by, we will see more and more of that simply because the, you know, people demanding that own over decision making. and everybody wants to be, you know, on part with everybody else. the american anti china stance is highlighted in a new bill that could radically reshape washington's taiwan policy. if adopted the

u. s. would interact with the islands authorities, like a recognized government and provide more financial aid. trying to foreign ministry said the move would escalate tensions between the 2 countries with between the countries. she is on the bill seriously breeches the u. s. commitment to china on the taiwan question and violates the one china principal. it constitutes interference in china's internal affairs violates international law and basic norms . international relations and the census seriously wrong signals of taiwan independence separate his forces. chinese firmly post to this and has launched a serious petition to the west side with more on the bill and the current state of us chinese relations. here's ortiz, caleb martin. now you would saying that was tensions rising in the pacific. all parties involved would be doing everything possible to de escalate the situation. however, that does not seem to be the case. we have a new bill passing for the senate foreign relations committee and that bill is seen

as a rather intense escalation with china. it provides a $6500000000.00 to taiwan in military aid. it names taiwan is a major non nato u. s. ally and it expedite arm sales to the government on taiwan. now there were 5 senators who did oppose the bill. the most vocal of them was us sen, rand paul, of kentucky. this is not a time to radically change longstanding policy without an appreciation of the consequences that may follow. now this 5 senators were out voted and it appears this bill is moving ahead. it is laughed the senate foreign relations committee, now it'll be up to the rest of the u. s. congress to determine whether or not they want to pass it into law. and then joe biden will have to decide whether or not to sign it. now it meeting is taking place of the 5 eyes and is meeting. you can bet we'll have beijing on the agenda. now the meeting is taking place at an unnamed location. probably a luxury resort,

somewhere in new zealand in which security in the pacific region is being discussed . and a number of us officials are playing up. the idea of tension with china, of opposition did china. we have the head of the u. s. naval command, talking about how a major focus of u. s. policy needs to be opposing beijing in the southern hemisphere. we can say plainly that the united states has neglected its relationship in the south pacific amour, accounting for not by engaging more deeply. the hoping concerning actions by the people's republic of china have in the region, including the secret security arrangement with the solomon islands that have been concerning for the united states of america. and i think concerning, also for new zealand as well. yeah, it states is also talking about putting pre emptive sanctions on chinese officials in order to deter military action against the island of taiwan. we also have other calls from us officials for more sanctions and more efforts to curb beijing's

influence around the world. now many are looking at shina and admiring the great restraint that the country has shown. when nancy pelosi visited the island of taiwan that was largely seen as a provocation. many are now wondering how far the united states intends to go in trying shyness patience on this issue. and others, setting an extra $6000000000.00 to over the heavily armed taiwan. and it means that we are of a signal to china that we're preparing for war against to. so it's a very dangerous situation. it's an escalation in anybody's terms. what it is is using the taiwanese people bursting there is having china, an angry reaction, which of course, they will, it's actually interference. and the sovereign power chinese territory. but like the people of ukraine, the united states wants to use the people of the taiwan as pawns. and it's dragging

other countries into it as well in the periphery to, to the area, into heighten tension. that's where the pressure comes on and to claim that they will defend taiwan when it's actually american regression board. oh, almost regression against china, which is the problem is hypocrisy of the greatest lights. the british crypto currency expert has just arrived in russia after being detained since february and saudi arabia. christopher adams is on the f. b i most wanted list for allegedly helping north koreans develop block chain technology to evade us sanctions. after long consideration, red decided not to extradite him to the united states, allowing him to leave. but to discuss the saga and how block chain technology ties into it all, i'm actually joined here in the studio by chris for m himself. chris, thanks for joining us. hearing,

so having me done. so the 1st thing i want to ask is just basically for you to run us through this crazy story. i mean, you were detained in saudi arabia, the u. s. f b, i wants you because you were in north korea and some sort of block chain conference . give us the story. yeah, absolutely. i'll give you sort of the long summary because we'll be here all day africa and there's lots, lots out there already. and so i was indicted by the by the f b i back in the end of january this year for violating us sanctions that are only applicable to us people as you can probably tell from accent on, i'm not the american right, i'm british. so that was the, along to right of trying to leave saudi arabia where i was at the time where i was detained for 8 months based on an, in support read notice and the f. b, i most wanted list of which i'm currently a member of the say that's the situation essentially. and what is the f b? i accusing you of exactly and connection of this conference in north shore. so

they're accusing me of violating a u. s. presidential executive order, which is the international emergency economic power act, long, long phrase, and which only applies to us citizens. it is in order that just specifically buys us citizens, but they've decided to apply that order to me for some reason. and what exactly happened at this conference in north korea? so the thing has done absolutely nothing. this is the crazy thing, right? it's, you know, there's really stories of me being the sanctions dodging mastermind. it's only cost me money. i never made a penny. and, and it was, you know, a lot of a lot of people, it was a weight, quirky trip to take. that was the point that it was never, it was a sort of a weird holiday. wasn't meant to be any of this stuff. so this is life even more bizarre. why so many other people see it that way too. right. and you had an american partner right? that you went to, north korea was a partner. and the gentleman in question. he said he is setting his sentence in the

u. s, i've never met him until the day in which the child with the north korea is never my partner. i really, i really don't know the guy properly. it's all right. what do you think that the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia has something to do with them deciding not to extra that you? because of course, we know the biden administration, joe biden has called the saudi, the head of the saudi government, a pariah. and his meeting to saudi arabia didn't go very well earlier this year. yeah, i totally agree with that sentiment dawn. i think i was in jet, the time in which president biden visited saudi arabia. i don't think it went well for him at all. i think that, you know, the, the days are gone in which the us can really and cajoled countries even like saudi arabia, one of their closest allies. so i think that, yeah, you're absolutely right. that played a very big part in, in my freedom to me being his speaking for today. and what do you think?

let's go to crypto currency in general. what, how do you think this can influence the future of the world economy or perhaps help russia help help russia, defendant's economy against western sanctions? for example. absolutely. let's take, let's take russia situation. even mine mean me myself, have been all my bank accounts in the west were frozen by the u. s. the time is decrypted currency. i can pay for pay for a taxi here to come and join you today. and i think, i think the russian federation has a huge opportunity right now to embrace crypt currency to regulate the space. i'm for regulation in order to make sure that you know, sort of money laundering in any sort of crimes. they use the crypto, but to really use it to engage in trade with the world. because essentially that's what crypto it's dawn is designed to liberate the world from and to create calmness and free trade, which is something i think everyone's in favor of. well, there are,

there are a lot of people who are skeptical about it because of the fact that it's so volatile. i mean, over the last 6 months, bitcoin specifically drops 70 percent of its value. are you optimistic about the future? yeah, i mean, i think once people sort of go down the rabbit hole that understand there's a lot more decrypted than just bitcoin. right. so, you know, we have, we have stable quincy box one to one on any weaker encrypted currency. but that would be like us thought as we both years. and those things are of genuine wet, genuinely, right, remittance methods that can be used by anyone. but the great thing is that can be used by anyone. no one can stop them, which is exactly why i believe the u. s. targeted me in the 1st place. and at this point, i mean, what are you going to do? right to do you? how do you think you can seek justice and combat this? the fact that here on the f b, i most wanted list, i mean, i mean, that's a great question on savannah. if you haven't really got around for that thought process yet, it's just great, really to be here. and i'm sure you know that the plan will be with i'm really,

really thankful. and i will thank here you know, might my team that have been a amazing doc, truck dollar and saudi rod sterling all got it, been yankee? who is my, my russian lawyer who helped me get here? we were looking at options, but yeah, i've, i'm not going to go down without fight. that's for sure. even though i'm very happy to be here and i'm, i'm safe and sound and i have no problem staying here. i really want to get rid of this, this silly, most fun to poster on google about my official right. it's, it's definitely must be a really, for you to be here and staying on that subject. what do you plan to do here in russia? i know that you're here. that's a really good question. so, you know, it's been very interesting because, you know, i thought it would be a very big, you know, sort of backlash and i wouldn't have anyone that wanted to engage in what with me in, in my field of expertise. but it's not been that case at all. i really want to want to help, and i really want to help other people who are unfortunately similar situation to

myself. because you know, 8 months being detained. having spent some time in prison. it is, it's, it's quite a brooding process, but it's also something which is where, in a way, it's a gift that you can give to the people to help them. you know who it was that people are less fortunate at the end of the situation. he didn't manage to make it here. well, i just want to ask you one more question about a block chain technologies. there's a lot of talk these days about to the end of the unipolar worlds, the rise of a multiple world. how do you think block chain technology is going to play into the, the, basically the decline of west of washington's unipolar world order? yeah, absolutely. so we're seeing them in this tried to control control cryptic currency we're seeing. they're trying to monopolize specifically bitcoin right now. but the, the, one of the things that they don't really understand the underlying technology, it's encrypt. so we wouldn't say multiple, we said the centralized. right. it's an entirely the centralized, not just that the centralized currency,

but it be centralized community of people. the fed up with this narrative, they're fed up with being told, you know, who they can be friends with with thing that's right now, right? we're seeing, we're seeing these, the sanctions where basically we're being told who you can be friends with, who you can invite to come to your house. you know, if, if i, if i live in london, i can get my friends to moscow to fly in and see me. and people are fed up with it because we live, we, we live in this multi part of what i believe already. the internet has changed the world phenomenally and what we would call a web to we now moving into web free, which is just going to enhance that and open up the well to even more possibilities . i will credit crypto currency expert chris mc. welcome to moscow. a pleasure having you on the program. thanks dawn. it's been a pleasure. thank you so much for your time. now in other news, at least 10 people have been killed in ethiopia as northern tiger, a region, and to air strikes on wednesday morning as violence has resumed after a 5 months low. the drone, an attack hit

to come back. you have to note that that he can never was in government for, for many years or for 27 years, including a government, a coalition government that was led by them. they cope and government has been saying they're taking actions against the t p. a left interest because they think some of the weapons, some of the trainings are happening in this neighborhood, but the t pin left is saying that's not true. that's not happening in this neighborhoods. up to half a 1000000 people have died from war and famine, and ethiopia as tiger a region. in the past 16 months, the united nation says that 5200000 people need emergency food assistance in the countries northern regions. nearly 2600000 people have been displaced with some forced into neighboring countries. the humanitarian catastrophe has received little international attention as the world focuses on the conflict. and ukraine says, alarmed a number of international organizations,

including the world health organization. the world can do this, it has the means or is as the will, it came together to weeks ago and did a very good job in helping ukraine to export its grains. okay, that's a good job. but why can't we also push as a global community? so that the 6000000 people can get foot to it. medicines to be treated in telecom, to talk to their people bank to access their money and media so that they can speak and that the woodland can know about their, their problems. samuel get a chew again, says the conflict will have long lasting consequences and may drag the whole region into chaos. in this conflict, once again, i can't

a highlighted enough how much it has truly of faith. that if you're not just in the to gray region, but i'm far enough far and far beyond, there are no minutes of people not and even the un has been saying they don't have the resources to really help them and feel it goes back to me or of, you know, conflicts, famine, if he don't stop, if he don't slow down this conflict in ethiopia, it would truly change the region. because utopia has a population of at least 115000000 people in what happens in the back to the affects it's neighboring nation. that's the news for this. our stay tuned for more in just about 30 minutes here on our to international. ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah, official cabinets, immediate trolls have made much of the recent counter offensive. however, there are gleeful backing up ukraine has demonstrated beyond a doubt. this is a nato war on russia. the stakes could not be higher. one side will lose and badly . oh, i ask is one of the most beautiful cities and rushes from the reast. it sits on the river that runs on the russia.
