there was shelling at this address and i heard from people that civilians died, that the financial health of one of the world's biggest, the bank, is called it. the question, the rumors to credit suisse is voting on collapse stoking fears, it could spot and you global meltdown. ah, so good to have your company for this program from moscow. it's odds he international a very well welcome to you. so russia's, our lower house of parliament has ratified the accession of full forma ukrainian regions into the country. it's off to the boss. majority of people in these territories did cost that balance in a recent referendum, in favor of joining russia. and russia is top, dipping them out, says they can now count on the nation's military for protection. we have a good room, you know, with them and we're not reacting to imaginary threats and distant countries. so we're defending our borders, our homelands,

our entire people from actual genocide committed by the descendants and followers of nazi henchmen who have gone into the service of foreign master's. earlier fort referendums were held in the dawn, yet scanned against people's republic, says one is in the heart of san anne's up at oj regions. locals were asked whether they wanted to join rusher or not. and the results did show that more than 80 percent were in favor of becoming a part of the russian federation. here's our correspondent, india. katrinka. the votes in the 2 chambers of the russian parliament are the final stage before the territories are being fully accepted into russia. and there you have it all the lawmakers that are present in this building on monday voted in favor of the decisions by the russian president. but more importantly in favor of the decisions by the people of doin at school gods. his song ends up our oars. you just before the lawmakers pressed their buttons,

we heard survey lab or of the russian foreign minister speak. it was an emotional speech in which he explained which horrible mistakes by the government in key of let to the choice of don bass and beyond. to be with russia seriously new go the kiosk at his room. in recent years, the care of regime has launched an all out assault on the russian language. abolished russian culture across the board. persecuted the orthodox church, falsified russian and ukrainian history, and destroyed books and monuments to those who liberated ukraine from the nazis and forged the glory of the ukrainian republic as part of the soviet union. so we know that certain lab, rob is a big fan of throwing punches when it comes to criticizing the west. and among other things. during his speech, the russian foreign minister silenced the critics of the moves by the russian government in europe and across the atlantic. started seamlessly load sewage,

the u. s. hypocritical claims the we allegedly cover up our tax on a neighboring country, the has allegedly embarked on the path of democracy with the fabricated pretext. meanwhile, washington has never hesitated to use force anywhere in the world justifying itself with the need to protect the people of the united states. so a big day at the, the washington state. duma, the result is a unanimous vote and there's one more baby step to be made. that is a, is the upper house of the russian parliament and the result is very predictable. this one is due on tuesday, or in the meantime, just now telling to the latest from the war in ukraine now, in russian forces have reportedly eliminated part of a group of ukrainian soldiers who penetrated the border in via la ganske republic. according to a local officials, the crating and soldiers were advancing in the direction of the city of politic chance. but russian forces engaged the group and forced to retreat. the russian defense ministry earlier said several offensive attempts by the ukrainian army were

repelled by russia as strikes. ukrainian troops had staged a push in 3 areas in the heart of san a region near crimea. our russian forces did retreat from the city of la martin in north and don't yet due to key ebs offensive push. a russian ministry of defense also said it's been discovered that ukrainian forces have been using informants to identify targets including civilian ones. r t is equal to dan offers in a nearby locust republic. he can tell us more, however, i should warn you in advance. his piece includes an interview with a person in custody, which could possibly mean that man could be speaking under duress, bribes and brainwashing are the favorite tools of caves, intelligence agents on the russian home front. in the dorm bass, they look for people eager to sell the lives of their neighbors for a thin wood of bills. dennis, here is one of those who fell for the temptation. me

a whistle smoke oblong. i went up for a walk with my dog. i saw a guy, i asked him for cigarettes and he gave it to me. i talked to him and he offered me a job. i asked him what kind of job. he said nothing much. i just need addresses whether a mass gatherings of people. yeah, i went to look and gave him the address, he went to check when he returned, he said that he was satisfied with everything and offered me the equivalent of $80.00 for one address. but locations of russia's military excuse or supply depos were of no interest for this client. all he wondered was where mass gatherings of civilians were in a town cut off from water and electricity supply. there can be only a handful of such places, mainly points of humanitarian aid distribution hold piles of baby food,

diapers and medicine. leave no questions as to what this place used to be. this sports arena was repurposed, it served as a major warehouse for humanitarian aid, where the whole town of several dentist flocked to because that was something that they badly needed and still badly need. but now it stands, whole destroyed and burned down to ashes by the ukrainian military. this is one of the 1st places obliterated by ukraine's artillery. shortly after denise submitted the information by then it had dawned on him already what he was responsible for and who his mysterious contact was. he wasn't phased by the realization though, and stuck to his newly found blood business of the memo one after he gave me the money and left that was shelling at this address and i heard from people that civilians died. that then he asked for more addresses. i found a hostile, where civilians were given water and gave the address to him. and 2 days later

there was shelling there after he was interested in other addresses. and i gave him the address of the hotel where humanitarian aid was given out. a thick stench of ash is still very present in the air here. this is one of the places that the ukrainian military had destroyed off to getting an anonymous tip off. apparently came from someone who relocated to several minutes from western ukraine. it came from over there, but the locals here, they don't know why the man the foreman chose this place, because according to them, the military, the russian soldiers, they have never been here. dennis hands tremble now as he faces up to 20 years in jail for state treason. they didn't shake. they didn't slip though when he was providing more coordinates, which entailed another deadly strike, oregon renewal, there was a strike over there. one unexploded shell is still stuck on the roof. then another

strike came over there. the guy was sitting here, it was around 10 p. m. he was killed by a fragment. for the 1st time dennis has the opportunity to look in the eye of a person. he marked as a target on caves artillery maps. as a play a short message, the victim paused with us, rustled to those people are scum. what else can be said about them? people rebuild the infrastructure and they keep destroying it. and it looks like the showings come with help of informers over poor little it's too late. now. there's nothing to return to the ukrainian command has been systemically, targeting vital civilian infrastructure elements in this war, toontown. a mac is done of reposing from the don boss, r t for sent at one point on monday, but have lost about 60 percent this year alone. and i just spoke about all of this with a correspondence caleb hoffman. sure, we have credit suisse, which is

a major global bank, a major financial investment firm. and it's basically having at this point, what is the worst annual sales drop? the biggest annual sales drop in its history just to day is down 12 percent. now a, c, e o was on social media urging everyone not to panic, trying to reassure the public about the situation. here's what he said. i know it's not easy to remain hope estimate the many stories you read in the media. in particular, given the many factually inaccurate statements being made, that said, i trust that you not confusing our day to day stock price performance with the strong capital pace and liquidity position of the bank. now there are comparisons, people are making to layman brothers and the infamous 2000 a crash ah, however, it'll of you the situation saying that there's not a reason to predict a full on crass just rather a long and painful recovery regret, credit suisse now,

eyes similar some say to what happened with deutsche bank in 2016. ah, but it's important to know, credit suisse is in a much stronger position than deutsche bank was in 2016. so that is not exactly a correct comparison. now, the organization remains confident. a point of concern for many stakeholders, including speculation by the media, continues to be our capitalization and financial strength. our position in this respect as clear. credit suisse has a strong capital and liquidity position and balance sheet. share price developments, do not change this fact. now all of this is combined with the energy concerns and other problems in the united states. you know, we've got the situation with inflation. all of this doesn't look good. if we're wondering how this could impact the mid term elections that are coming up. we're a new congress will be elected by the u. s. public agile biden's. ready approval rate, these are certainly low financial concerns. inflation and the american public being

quite unhappy with how things have gone sense the pandemic. all of this is going to have a major impact. you know, the economy certainly affects the way people view things when people feel the world isn't getting better. that's certainly affects how they choose to vote. alright, title answer, more crossing live to investor and banker, michel fires die in joining us live here on our team to national a great pleasure to see this evening. thank you so much for coming on the program. you might have just heard the report from our correspondent caleb was talking about credit suisse. i mean, mitchell, how serious is this? is such a huge bank really on the brink or is it just a lot of drama? well, i mean, i think that there's where there's smoke, there's fire. so is credit suisse systemic risk? probably not. i don't think that they have a lot of the issues that could take down the system. however, i do think that there are other players and, and participants in the market that can have a balance sheet issues larger than credit suisse is the extent of their problems. i

don't know, but what happens in a situation like this? well we've just lost our signal with mitchell 5000 investor and bank talking to us here on our team to national the very latest details on credit, which i think we've just got this ticket back me to mitchell i. i do apologize. technology today. you are in the middle of a thought, right? i could ask you to pick it back up. no, i guess not our mitchell yet. our connection is just too bad. today we're going to try to reestablish this connection. mitchell foster, investor and bank a. joining us ever so briefly on the international, we'll come back to mitchell in just a few moments. well, now apparently we've just re establish the signal and we're going to come back to him when we can appreciate your patience or naughty international. the u. s. has sent its special representative for trade to algeria on a visit to strengthen relations with the north african country. but amid the

diplomatic charm offensive a bipartisan group of u. s. congressman is demanding sanctions against the state, citing it's multi $1000000000.00 arms deal with russia. it is critical that president biden and his administration prepare to sanction those who attempt to fund the russian government and its war machine through the purchase of military equipment. well, the demand comes as part of washington's policy of launching economic warfare against major customers of russian, iranian, or north korean weapons. over the last decade, algeria has been among the biggest clients for russian arms, with nato's 2011 intervention in libya believe to have spurred them on. well, let's discuss this. now. let's welcome a political, economic catalyst for africa. lauren's, k freeman, joining us here on the program. great to see you today. what do you make just your 1st what? what do you make of this move to? to talk algeria. this doesn't surprise me at all in full, full,

full court effort. while united states government is point to a punish, russia in every way can. and that they're even attempting to destroy russia. and they basically will use the africans, they have used african nations for many years as a part of the pawns in a geopolitical game. their intent on weakening is flying russia and the same allison towards china so that the anglo american geopolitical dallas been here, remaining control. i wanted to ask you because ultimately the united states is the biggest weapons export or in the world. russia, companies are pretty close number 2, but, but if algeria is arms deal with russia is such a cause for you as concerns? surely it should have been post sanctions earlier, correct? as i said, i don't think that's the, there may be the excuse, but it's not the policy. for example, that is

a bill that hasn't gotten through congress yet. that wants to punish african nations for trading. and having russia as an ally to that bill has been, it hasn't actually been voted on, but it's circulating in congress right now in this is more of the same. they're not . the goal here is to discipline in treat african nation as they are a stature piece. and that is 9 states since it's intent on was joined russia with food and out punishing the man that african countries. now come along and agree with that house. and course the road that took place early this year to grow the african nations, to a large degree did not support sanctioned policies, russia. and that was the motivation for secretary state anthem drinking trip to south aaron african august. we sure did not succeed in the content,

which essentially is to get the african nations to support the united states. but united states gives nothing in return with economic housing development. wanted to ask you, algeria was, was europe's 3rd largest gas supplier in 2020. why not after russia and norway away europe now? well severing ties to russia, do you think algeria could, to play a dominant role now in the use of energy plans, energy security? well, we're seeing right now that the, you and the nations are the you are suicidal in terms of their energy policy. they shut down new comanche many countries. they now issue the sanction subordinate sanctions against russia. they already have started increasing their import of whirl and gas from african nations. and i wouldn't be surprised, or if they're going to start increasing your employ some algeria,

even though they dictate that the african nations, i should not be you. he whirl and gas and coal because they're quote, hydrocarbon fossil fuels. is julia wyoming, which i think is nonsense. nevertheless, they are increasing their use or gas and coal. during this angie crisis. and during the conflict between russian, ukraine's other, the now hypocritical, where there are our, again, you know, demands that african nation should not injure him, get developed themselves. but the advanced sector countries should be able to. so this is the hypocrisy and arrogance of the western geopolitical establishment. i lawrence k frame on a political, economic catalyst for africa, joining us live her an art international. appreciate your perspective. thank you for your time. thank you. but moscow says the reason sabotage of the north stream pipelines has played straight into the hands of

international gas suppliers, the kremlin spokesperson spelling out exactly who stands to benefit the most symmetric elena use. it's clear that amid the suspension of these pipelines, there is one side that has an opportunity to sell more l. n g, at a higher price. we all know who that is, the united states. meanwhile, the russian energy, john gas problem says gas leaks from the damage north stream pipes under the baltic sea have finally stopped in a statement, the companies had pressure. the effected lines had also been stabilized. last week the network was damaged in a series of under the explosions, russia and europe. a both said they believe the incident was an act of sabotage. however, the cause of the damage remains exactly unknown with both sides trading accusations . against each other. commenting on the incident, the us secretary of state antony blink and stated that i talking russian pipelines was a no one's interest. however,

he was happy to welcome european efforts to distance themselves from russian energy supplies. calling this a tremendous opportunity its a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on russian energy and thus to take away from vladimir putin, the weapon ization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs. that's very significant. and that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come on. let's get more of this now from economist, i'm publish a doctor, i how my joining us here live on our team to national great to see you today. the criminal spokesperson says it's clear who's got the most again, from the sabotage of the north stream pipelines to go to anthony blink and bad. the u. s. secretary quoting this, quote, a tremendous opportunity your thoughts? well, this is exactly what, how american business plays 1st. they have something nobody wants, then they tried to force the other one to take it and we have now it's equation

where it sees it just seems. but germany is dependent on american liquid natural gas. but because the ties or the supply lines to russia are destroyed, but it just seems like this. i think this is expiring because of 2 main things. first, it is the 1st time in history that a supply line, an event, and essential supply line to germany has been attacked several times and destroyed . nobody can secure the supply line in the world. so starting to stomach us with terrorist attack, the supply line is something very new and it is not doing a good partnership. you can build a good partnership on such incidents that can be it destroys every new agenda on the environmental focus because whatever they did with it,

environmental catastrophe had no right ever again to mention c o 2 reductions or whatever and so on. so the narrative of the here to control and so on and so on, will fall apart with this. so these 2 things will back for enormously. and i, my guess is that wherever this, this thing will be excluded from business in future with, with you, wherever this was so euro, the europe, or especially germany and the succeeding countries, will look through to the partners who, who wrote to things like this in the future because they just today just to do business with. so how can i can i, can i jump in because you're sort of sorry to interrupt you. i do apologize, but you know, you always bring up so many interesting points and i've just got such a limited amount of time here. i wanted to ask you, i was reading earlier today that since the sabotage attack on the,

on the north stream pipelines, germany's intelligence service, they've been fuming because apparently they were out of the realm of knowledge when this was actually going to happen. or they didn't even know anything about it, but apparently that was some sort of state actor that was behind the sabotage i wanted to ask you, sabotaging the north stream pipelines. it is more of an attack against russia or more of an attack against germany in attack again, germany, because russia, i can just keep the top of the pipe shop and that's for them no attack against germany. and when the german authorities of the german bureaucrats, they won't do anything if they come to the conclusion that america or britain upfront could be behind it. they wouldn't do anything because we are still an occupied country as you know. so the secret services and so on, they are dependent on their so called partners are big brother. so don't expect any thing to come out if some one of these people is behind it. now the

us appears to be sure that it can actually ease the energy pressure on europe by, by shipping all this at n g across the atlantic. is it, is it as simple as that? know this is of course, not only ridiculous. this is, this is totally wrong and we what change the dependency on a monopoly monopolized on the u. s. l n g with prices where we are not compatible in the world. so if we would have to rely on us liquid natural gas, we'd not only rely on the most environmental catastrophic energy sauce. we would be not competitive though, in lies in the world anymore. so german companies would have to move out. so this is, this is just a hoax. what do you,

what do you foresee happening in the coming months? so we've, we've got the european weather forecasting agency today saying that is going to be a cold winter. they're saying there's going to be less wind. so that means that renewable energy could be impacted in that degree as well. what, what do you think of it? do you think demonstrations protest in germany potentially spreading throughout europe? what, what's your forecast? yes, i think the demonstration will spread out because 1st it starts with germany. when we don't have enough energy, companies will shut down. the gentleman text won't be able to pay any more enough anymore. so the into european project will come up because all are so called friends in europe who are just living on, on, on the plundering germany. they will won't have enough to plunder any mail because they're all almost bankrupt. we will get a big economic catastrophe, and of course the people who go on the street because this is purposely made by the

german politicians and the euro be politicians, the european bearers and people hold except the anymore economist. i'm publish a doctor, i have a joining us live here. what are you into national really appreciate that. thanks for the chat. thank you very much. and i thank you for joining us. there were 19 to national for this program from moscow. if anything you may have missed, just check out our website. it's r t dot com the a ah, you sinister?

absolutely. well, with some of the free wouldn't end up with a you know, sure. somebody who can watch some stuff with us for that. if, if those have been york still, i felt like need somebody out there with with with it. it was up here at the ball which can you with

it? go to photo with industry. and i'm stuck and just look up from when i'm not only a muscle around noon. she kitty doesn't beating train show on nice to me as close to mama kim katherine, this is ashley of a dc. wanted to do a proposal with you, but not looking for the chain of trying to not work for phones or something like

that. we got that for this. i see with that with my phone from probably get a weird young for the young woman was gonna need a new one that has gotten my cell. so i've been like it. but i don't want to one of the idea about them. this is on a bundle, but they are because of it. when are you with so glad aisha classic look at the idea if i don't live here so it what mean they support system phone with that i see especially that. ok, so what is the best time to actually do that even don't, can be come up,

loosened up and be a couple of somebody and p community that the a lot for the not all like suppose you decide that you sort of affect it to clean, clean to talk to smoking at them the door, what are some of the film a pretty complicated with a sort of go, you may see a big if you see fit to metal epa is short, was this in the mushroom and yeah, i'm not sure what it is when you're ready for the.
