remarks made by a british minister, anger new delhi. and egypt plans on peg is national pound from the us dollar and rely on golden of the currencies with very warm welcome see from the russian capital this choose day launch time. my name is peter scott. and welcome to the program where be joining us from we start this out with the latest news from these up arrows, your region where 5 people have reportedly been injured in an attack on a local television station in the city of mel. it's helpful. our correspondent reports from the scene. a gas goes with miss near by the ecolog local say that a car drove up and a few minutes later there was a blast so strong, but nothing remained of the vehicle. how can i say the ukrainian forces at once again confirm their status is terrorist attack was carried out in an ordinary

residential area near the station as employees arrived at work. further information on the victims will be provided later. this footage shows the aftermath of an explosion outside the building which occurred as stuff arrived at work. the local administration says that the power of the car bomb was the equivalent to 2 kilograms of dynamite. the blast damage the buildings facade, and some of its officers have also been heavily affected and were left with broken windows and damaged furniture. emergency services are the scene and the attack was in addition for at least 7 over no stripes on melody. also burbs rushes called for a un security council meeting on tuesday to voice it concerns the key of may use a so called dirty bomb as part of a false flag operation. an attack that it says would be an act of nuclear terrorism . we will regard the use of the dirty bomb by the key if regime as an act of nuclear terrorism. the recent events,

ministry has said the kiev could launch an attack with the help from its western allies, claiming the care of had requested help with nuclear weapons. technology from the u . k. it provided no evidence to back up these allegations. a need so has denounced the claim for back in 2015 ukrainian security council, lead to alexander, 13 of in said that keith was developing a dirty bomb. and earlier this year, president zalinski spoke of restoring ukraine's nuclear status. yo yo present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convene a summit of the budapest memorandum signatory countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, he f will regard it in the clause is signed in 1994 is null and void. or meanwhile, russia's foreign minister said, a girl of rav has dismissed claims by some western states that moscow's actually planning to use a dirty bomb of its own a little noon for a month. so, so consumer to detailed information indicating the institutions that can do this

was transmitted through the minister of defense with his colleagues from the united states. great britain, france and turkey, the unfounded claims for western colleagues, that this is all fiction and russia itself. plans to do something like that to blame these zalinski regime later is not a serious conversation. some of our inter locus suggested discussing information we have at a professional military levels of this is an approach that we've supported. foreign minister, a lover of sad that russia is eager to do whatever possible to bring a crane's western partners into the discussions about the potentially very dangerous, if not the book elliptic consequences of such a false flag attack. if it indeed is carried out. and some of the lover of school it's, for example, that your secretary said anthony blinking dismissed those allegations asked quote, transparent with false. foreign minister also indicated that such allegations were

mad with some professional interests and some of the colleagues he didn't specify who as far as we know, russia has reached out front of the united states, the united kingdom and turkey. some of those countries have expressed an interest in discussing the evidence that russia has in the professional form that is among the intelligence officers and military experts. this is essentially the way that russia has learned to counteract them to, to try to be preemptive whenever it has any intelligence on the potential acquisition of dangerous materials. it tries to bring attention of their world wide audience to it. and i have to say that it is within understandable that there westwood tried to exonerate ukraine and accuse rational of all the possible crimes . but there is already a track record, an official track record of the ukrainian officials expressing direct interest in acquiring nuclear weapons. for example, presents landscape one,

speaking of the munich security conference earlier this year, he expressly sad that ukraine was looking into that possibility. and what a surprise russia doc point is that despite the fact that nonproliferation is a stated policy in the world, it's stated goal. nonetheless, nono ukraine's rest and partner said anything against that possibility. that's why russia is indeed taking it seriously. or former us marine john mark do going for is the key of could try to escalate the war. we've seen what they have been doing up to now their acts of terrorism, starting with the bombing of dory dugeon and boring up the bridges. and they are escalating things in tell the point of no return they want. i can understand why they want west to be involved in making their war. they have that much hatred towards russia. the west has been engaging and

a lot of very dirty tactics lately and everything that they've been engaging like the pipeline, the tax on the approach, the nuclear power plant, everything they've been engaging in then they have been pointing the finger is blaming on russia when we all know that it's, it's not russia, i mean, everybody would have a brain understand this, and they're going to do the same thing with this. so the, the question is, is the west going to help them? well, in another border region, brianne, a railway line was targeted by an explosive device, damaging a cargo train in a separate incidents over the weekend. so people were killed in a thought on a shopping mall. enable be good. at ortiz good has done a visit to decides incentives this report. this small russian town on the very border with ukraine has now a frontline town that lives in constant anticipation of. yet another ukrainian strike akin to the one that destroyed this shopping mood. all that remains of it is

its charred skeleton. you can still though, make out until wood shorter shops used to be here, like judging by the carcasses where the burnt carcass is here. this used to be some sort of a tech supermarket. and if you look in the corner over there, there used to be a pet store, but given enough money is spent, all of this can be rebuilt, a new of course, but people's lives, those who were killed in the strike. well, they can't be brought back. ukrainian shells had 2 moves and a discount store at noon this saturday, a fireworks shop and one of them worse and both the blaze and the panic among victims and bystanders alike. so also shelly, when we heard the whistle for the 1st time in the distance, we left the building. as soon as we did it, a shell immediately landed a girl sitting here. her leg was covered in blood near the market stole

a man's leg, was blown off that approval. well, i was inside the store. when the shell landed, i saw through the windows that had came from all there whistling, and then there was a hit. the building immediately caught fire, then i heard pops fy walked started. exploding glass fell down. people was screaming and running away. before official rescue crews had a chance to arrive. first responders who witnessed the attack helped the wounded, evacuate away from the scene. here. these 2 civilians have in killed more than a dozen needed medical treatment. it all started as a regular weekly shopping trip for this family. as the parents left the vehicle to go to the shopping mall,

their teenage son stayed inside. he died on this very spot. the shell landed just about 3 meters away from the car. it's been weeks since ukraine stepped up its attacks on the region. on this tiny town alone, cave forces of indiscriminately dropped dozens of bombs. but despite the threat, the streets, he is still bustle with life. oh should i am for you? we are getting used to the whistling because they were near by and were shelling regularly when there was a big bang. i came out of the garage and saw that the explosions were somewhere in the city. then there was another shot, a screech and a shell fell again. i'm already used to counting seconds. it's only been 5. so the distance was very small. does this, can i see no point in leaving the town? where would we go and why? we're not planning to leave and we get done of reporting from the russia ukraine border r t joe biden has been pushed to change his approach. so the

ukranian conflict by his own party. more than 2 dozen congress democrats have signed a lesser calling on the president of push here to agree to cease fire under negotiated solution. that's coming up just a bit later in the program. no, the news the you case missed mondays deadline for striking a free trade deal with india. negotiations have reportedly been in deadlock amid comments by the then you k home secretary, voice concerns over an influx of indians into the country leg migration in this country. the largest group of people who overstay our indian migrants, i have concerns about having an open board as migration policy with india, because i don't think that's what people voted poor with breck said, well, the free trade source between the you can india were launched earlier. this year with great opportunities for indian students and professionals in the u. k. being a top priority for mo, these government's utility slammed the now foremost at home secretaries remarks of

shocking and disappointing. earlier we spoke of political analysts and columnist suit he dro co tarney, who said that it shows that britain has not yet moved on from ms. emperial passed. these opinions come from the leadership of or can't feed, that is feeling increasingly insecure about so within the span of one year there had 3 prime ministers and you start about the individuals. there is a structural problem about the politics of the united united kingdom, outgoing prime minister, did not even last 2 months, and they call themselves the mother of democracies. basically, the western economies wanted to impose an idea of globalization on their own terms, not on equal terms with developing countries. india fossil like are they want me to have equitable services agreement,

which is what the united kingdom and several other. busy veterans and please do not one, the only ones that are familiar to them. and this is not acceptable says, respecting country like india. now when it comes to su, ella braverman herself, she is of course of indian origin. so how surprising was it to hear anti migrant rhetoric from a person whose parents are migrant? she's making very controversial, in fact, racist remarks. and this only shows that britain has still not completely expressed remorse or what is on imperial past. if you look at the british attitude towards migrants in these very the resume, in some ways a racist. someone want to keep the white domination a

life moving on. now, egypt set to move is national currency away from the us dollar. instead, developing a new currency indicator, according to the central banks, given the country funds, the lincoln currency, to baskets of gold and a number of other currencies. the us is not our major trading partner. i don't know why people are always fixated on the dollar. part of our success will be in changing the culture and idea that we are pegged. the decision follows the egyptian pounds shop dropped this year because of the ukranian war. with around $25000000000.00 been wiped off the market in several weeks. cairo central bank had to be value the currency with the pound today, worth only 80 percent of his previous value against the dollar. egypt is only the latest country in the global south to take similar measures. both india and iran have already ditched dollar and bilateral trade with moscow. the saudi arabia considering switching to the chinese, you one in oil say sales to china. earlier we discussed the issue with all meant

mustafah, who's the director of the asia center for studies and translation. and he shared with us his vision on the motives behind the move. once we correlated, i'll japan pounds for the dollar since 2016 according to the recommendations of the at one bank and international campus just to satisfy the creditors sold, election, made the honest affinity in the markets. the dollar is inflated. there's so much sure. i can search and found, and now even that by of the national banks reached about quentin egyptian pounds and it has a very negative impact for sir, concerning the inflation. also, we have international factor concerning the rising and the so that made on interest rate, the federal reserve, it fine put fees. the rates are the 2 are extract

a lot of money and a lot of funds from one of my coming to the united states. i for the, for such a waiter. and now we have another problem. the interest is that belongs to our intake at nestor, the creditors international creditors via the world, frank and international monet fun and serving the interest of serving the embeddedness or all of such factors altogether. or was the reason why are we, why are we have to shift to be a resort? i mean, the gold or the gold bullion. and egypt became one of the biggest fires of the gold boy volumes. and the, and the vision or maybe and the wall air to be a safe guard at that. and i think the for us, oh, the future was still members of joe biden's own party. are the money that he changes approached the ukrainian conflicts i'm on to, doesn't congress democrats assigned

a letter calling on the president to push keith to agree to both a sci fi and a negotiated solution? his art is kellum open with more. well, it's quite a development in the foreign policy conversation. here in the united states, 30 members of the us house of representatives have signed this letter to the white house, urging them to change tactics when it comes to ukraine and pursue negotiations with russia. now this is quite a development, these are members of biden's own party, the democratic party, and they in their letter, are calling for a pro active diplomatic reproach to the situation. this is some of what the letter says, given the destruction created by this war for ukraine in the world, as well as the risk of catastrophic escalation. we also believe it is in the interests of ukraine, the united states, and the world to avoid a prolonged conflict. for this reason, we urge you to pair the military and economic support the united states has

provided to ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire. now this is quite an interesting turn of events. it comes as there seem to be cracks in the european coalition around biden, and his moves when it comes to ukraine as well. now, generally, any opposition to the white house's policies regarding ukraine has come from republicans. there's been approvals of up to $60000000000.00 more than $60000000000.00 approved by the u. s. congress in aid to ukraine. and the opposition to it came from republicans. 57 republicans in the house of representatives voted against it aladdin us, senators. but it was all republicans voted against that. this new development appears to come from democrats. it is democrats who signed this recent letter. now we must keep in mind, november 8th, the mid term congressional elections are coming up. americans will go to the polls and elect a new congress, and it appears that within the democratic party, there are some wish to distance themselves from biden's ukraine policy. there are

democrats who don't want to be associated with the policies of the white house when it comes to ukraine. now another thing that's important to note is that another member of the us house of representatives, a republican, claudia tanny as come forward and said that biden isn't really running the country . she compared into a wax dummy. she said that his cognitive abilities are not good and that his staff is essentially running the country on his behalf, that the president of united states is not really in charge. now, that's quite a dramatic thing for a member of the federal government member, the u. s. congress to come forward and say it appears the president united states and it does not have the cognitive ability to run the country and has been affect li, removed from power. his staffers are running the country. now that's quite an accusation to be floating around mainstream u. s. media. so these are, these are all things that should be taken into account as we see that now, it's not only republicans criticizing by for his ukraine strategy. it's now 30 democrats in the house of representatives. while congress democrats appeared to be

allowed to express disagreements with biden's politics, while demanding change. american economists, jeffrey sachs, is gang did the democracy for him. when he tries to express his view, the u. s. foreign policy is non democratic. you can be democratic at home and ruthlessly imperial abroad. the most violent humphrey in the world since 1950 has been the united states in boulevard in buffering will not wear no more or less from jeffrey. i am the jeffrey. i'm your moderator and it's enough. okay. and not the 1st time the sikes was robbed of the freedom to speak his mind. earlier this month, the u. s. economist suggested that washington involvement washington was involved in the north stream pipeline bloss in the baltic sea, which prompted television host to pull the plug on a bloomberg t v interview. ah,

and now to the annual meeting of the val di discussion club, which enters is 2nd day in moscow to day with more paneled discussions on the schedule as cost live. now to our t correspondence asana, boy co for more on today's event, sir. good afternoon, c oksana. thanks for joining us. what can we expect from day to the val i discussion called well, hello peter and the day to over the old discussion club could be summarized by that old bill. clinton's phrase, it's all about the economy, stupid. and the word stupid is very appropriate here because many of the participants have been analyzing and talking about not very smart, economic decisions. that economic powers that be took over the last couple of years and how it's affecting the rest of the world. now there's been a lot of discussion about how globalization western lot of globalization that is underwritten by the western financial system by the dollar and the euro has been

disintegrating and it's not only because of the recent events, but it, that whole process started during the call 19 conduct when some of the leading countries in the world demonstrated very, very selfish, and somebody would say cruel behavior, hoarding supplies for themselves, and leaving the rest of the world exposed and really puting in view. the very pressing necessity for many countries to rely on themselves on themselves to be self sufficient, at least when it comes to the why they'll supplies and vital services. but that process in and of itself was exacerbated by the balance of 2022 with the financial and economic sanctions that the west tried to introduce against russia. and i stress here the word tried because the effects of those sanctions berg very mixed. they didn't hurt the russia as much as it was intended by there was,

but they really heard the rest of the world, particularly developing countries in the global south, many air representatives of which are present here at deval di forum. and many of them have been talking about how sanctions have become a tool of uh, essentially neo colonial policies when they are you very single handedly when they're introduced without any regard for the effect they may have on the rest of the world. and indeed in a very, very self righteous way, and that creates a major necessity for the world to restructure the way the economy is being functioning. and some of that is already happening. globalization is still there or rather, inter, international connectivity, international trade connectivity field there. but it is shifting more towards a regional trade,

and many of the countries are now trying to shield themselves from the dependency on the western financial and trade system and the risks that associated with it. obviously they still want to be part of the global economy, but that interconnectedness that was praised a couple of years ago, is now becoming a major risk. and it's interesting that the russia found itself right in the center of this new forming economic system. again, it's not geared against the united states or the west side, but it's almost as if the actions of some of the western powers forcing countries to find more risk drone ways of dealing with one another. that would be trading in local currency is trying to create a current active systems of settling accounts, barter, trade, what have you. but this is something that is in the center of many of the over the discussions here. and as an illustration. i also want to bring out the bricks

format, which i don't know if our audience is where with this whole abbreviation was introduced in the early 2 thousands by one of the goldman sachs economists as a way to package the shares of emerging markets. it was essentially an artificial construction and the beginning, again, as i said to market or is but in the middle of 2000, some sort of political corporation among those powers started again, mostly political corporation without much economic ties because they're still far away and they're so distinct, but nowadays dot forum becomes a sort of a testing ground for alternative ways of doing business without depending too much on the west. and apart from brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa, that members of, of grouping. we also have interest from argentina,

from saudi arabia, from iran to look what that alternative ways of doing business can bring to them. so all of that is going to be on the table today. many of the participants come from those countries as, as we've been reporting yesterday, the participation of the western analysts this time is not very active. deval di forum brought a lot of people from the rest of the world. and they actually now talking about how that world, how they together can create that new world post hedge morning world that will be in fact more liberal and more democratic. more fair to you all is participants, rather than serving the interest of a 2 elected group of countries. sana, so fascinated in size, then the vol died this discussion called thank you very much for other folks on is on a bike o r t correspond to what we focus on d,

v. a. john. so the head of indonesia is development of national resilience. he says that this year's meeting underlines russia's role as an important global player. one important thing for me, for this one is still here for fitting activity gets we have really gets water more been when the country and, or the really get scan profile. contribution on how to move to another good or bad action. for example, how to create kind of new order, new world order we are discussing on multi polarity, we discussing or new multi lateralism. we are discussing the policy through tech, even listen to it, the get of off you need, let them out of neo liberalism and so on. i think these forum shows clearly

kaden can plea if it gets min as one of the global unity over the ukrainian config seems to be in question in europe as well. to me. p marcel the graph is leaving his party in the european parliament of disagreements on the reasons behind the war. previously, the policy suspended him for 3 months, as he lay the blame for escalation on euclid and nate. so instead of russia on leaving the identity and democracy group in the european parliament, their attempt to silence me about nato in ukraine is unthinkable. we must disco late, the war with russia. it is not our war, but our people are paying the price. i want to form a new group that supports this r t contributes. rachel marston takes a look at how it's safer for european politicians just to stick to condemning moscow. what's the deal with this western insecurity that demands countries to

sites like you're either with teen usa or against it, like the whole world has just one big junior high school. italy has taken a pretty laid back approach in year. so the whole america, russia rivalry, and although a nato and you member italy, welcomed russian doctors to the country to help when rome was contending with the world's worst covert outbreak, former italian prime minister silvio berlusconi, whose back on the political part of the new governing coalition, is so friendly with russian president vladimir putin, that audio was suspiciously lead recently in which bruce coney spoke of communicating with and even receiving a birthday gift of russian baka from the russian president. he also gave his take on the situation ukraine. russian ministers have said on several occasions that we are at war with them because we are providing arms and funding to ukraine. i can't personally give my opinion because if it is told to the press, it will turn out to be a disaster. but i am very, very, very worried. i re kindled relations with president putin a little bit. so the big concern of stung in the western anti russia quick was

whether burn, stony views, wrist representing or influencing the latest addition to the global school yard, newly elected italian prime minister, georgia maloney. well, those conveniently lead recordings certainly make it more complicated for me alone need to maintain any kind of pragmatic, neutral stance. even if you wanted to european commission that last week that it considers those 20 bottles of vodka gifted from guten to burn scone a break of sanctions on russia. spirits in the wake of that revelation, here's maloney making her intention emphatically clear italy as fully and with its head held high part of europe and nato. anyone who does not agree with this cornerstone can't be part of the government even if it means not forming the government with us in the government. italy will never be the weak link in the west, the unreliable nation, so dear to our many detractors. now.
