cisco 3 in the afternoon here in moscow. my name is peter scott and welcome to 30 minutes of news unused. there are naughty and we start in the russian region of care song where sub apparently tried to break into a district police station early this afternoon. and the legend attempt to steal weapons. now, this footed shows the badly damaged facade of the building, which was struck by a grenade at around 1 pm local time. emergency services are currently looking for those involved. britain's new prime minister wishes to not has reaffirmed his support for ukraine during a phone call with u. s. president joe biden. that was shortly after the u. k. premier called kit to say the same thing to president zalinski, but some are now criticizing tonight for following in the footsteps of his predecessor in this truss. he also made her 1st international call in office to

ukraine. well, that's good life now to rachel moss and he was more details. rachel? good afternoon to you. so what exactly is this new surrounding wishes to knock and his 1st day or 2 in office? yeah. so the new, unelected leader of great britain? no, not king charles. the other one prime minister is she soon act and just taken over the controls. busy and the pay and he says we will always stand with you, craig. now by standing with ukraine. he means billions in u. k. cash tax, their cash and weapons going out the door now who voted for that? well, certainly not the people of the u. k. and his predecessor list trust spent her 44 days in office trying to pull the u. k. out of that economic nose dive basically by mashing all the buttons at once in the cockpit. and finally, just having to a jack so soon asked, listen to the pilot, the, when the country is literally at the point of impact with recession and was system bulk 1st phone call to ukrainian present vladimir zalinski during which tonight

promised to quote, standing continued solidarity with ukraine, so like what is the british prime minister going to spare some of that solidarity for the british people? was there any indication that soon act is laser focused on britain's massive economic problems? did have a phone call with us president joe biden. we've been dragging his feet on that trade deal promised to britain ages ago. according to white house statement, the call is largely about working together to support ukraine encountering washington or countering russia and china. so basically, washington's priorities. no mention of trade. media buying was confused about when he was talking to and whether it's united kingdom or just today. we've got news. oh, the well, anyway, whether he's talking to rashid,

snuck or re she sooner biden certainly knows that whoever it is won't object by just rambling on about you crate. before he was appointed prime minister, soon i was pretty aloof about ukraine and what his position was getting the impression that his focus, even for ukraine was really all about doing what fast for the british economy. sumac thinks putin will still be there. they will have to be a deal with him, and that's the case. is it really worth the pain to the economy? at such a bit of a switch from what we're hearing today. these are voters are disappointed in that switch and they're not too happy to learn about soon. ox, actual position now right on tap re, she's to not comes out and says, we will always stand with ukraine. does that mean more of our money being sent off to ukraine, whilst you have to make difficult decisions for the rest of us at home?

you could hear it entrust his voice and you can hear it in soon. ox. we won't let put in winning ukraine. it's as if they are using war to bolster their own image. meanwhile, it's public service cuts for the rest of us. interestingly, sooner gives a blank check to ukraine, whilst calling on wales and scotland to get in line. soon i didn't waste time calling zalinski. he's already lining up the war in ukraine to use as a convenient excuse for his punishing a star t cuts. so after new italian premise, or george maloney pleasure allegiance to ukraine and looks like the white house, it's almost copied and pasted virtually the same. congratulatory ukraine focus message to soon act out chatting up these vassals. state for the us seems kind of late, starting out. conquest at the local bar. fighting basically, uses the same pick up lines and probably won't even remember their names and afford

lottie contrary to rachel marston, thanks very much for breaking down those 1st couple of days of the new british p. m wishes to knocking off his thank you. romanian senator has slammed the country's president for supporting ukraine, saying that the conflicts in the neighboring country is just none of bluecross business. no better meet them each on a div, easiest will. the will not allow a single thing to aggravate this conflict, which is not between russia nater, but between the russian federation and ukraine over territories that belong to russia in the past. and it is, it's business what it does there. this is not romania natal or the east problem. i think we were present romania and the remaining people or he resign my lease or was i comes as romania faces a political crisis from within. on monday the minister defense resigned due to differences with the countries. presidents in relation to the conflicts in ukraine . the minister has stated that the only way to finish the war is through

negotiations with russia. now comes as demonstrations, take place in bucharest, against an increase in aid to here on the transfer of french nato troops to the country along with plans to step up, drill as though the head of nato 2nd brigade combat team has said that if a member of the alliance is a tight romania based troops will answer ukraine. but yesterday the white house assured that no us soldier will step foot there. analyse cross live to dr. steven gadgets, professor at bo grades, institute of european studies in belgrade, dr. steven gutters. thanks very much for jonas this moscow afternoon. i just want to 1st ask you, what do you make of us so sort statements as well as the resignation of the romanian defense minister over the government stunts with the the conflicts in ukraine. i think that the remains of space are, is a true hero,

and it should be sure to be of his country. ah, he knows what such a conflict would mean for romania and that is why he sacrificed of his career. i must say that he won't be only a romanian hero at this moment. there's also deanna shanker, the senator are also a pulls of this behavior a by mr. klaus i. and also, i must say that there is a history of, of such a subset of deeds by reva romanian patriots. i monster imagined name, although florian of both or shy who was an ordinary worker at the romanian, a rail rails during the night to aggression a guest federal republic of yugoslavia. a hoo i stopped the st. the convoy a single handedly basically because i they did not awful fill

a certain paperwork and, and, and he actually did it or his affection for the, let's say, honestly, ortho, attrition, a brothers. mm hm. it was the serves and at that time. and also this is very important when we talk about the current conflict. because why on earth would romanians were orthodox christians of the 2nd largest or suspicion nation authority or russian orthodox church. be involved in a conflict or with a, with, with the, with the russians. mean that is against romanians ha, the interest of romanian people. but if it falls into the plans of flora, i'm afraid a conventional if not even god forbid nuclear a war world war 3. and now we are moving closer to the

such a place with us was very troubling. indeed. no, just to think one step back from the, the, the politics in domestic politics and romania. what's it maybe for international people for the field is the country's role as a whole. in this situation, obviously, we know there are quite few u. s. troops station there. and the is extremely close to the hot spots when we should remember to statements that was sad almost 20 years ago by george w bush, when he called, ah, i'm paraphrasing that romania is a sphere of washington or of america towards the east. so ah, what he said in honor words is that in the event of necessity, we expect the romanians to die for the interests on washington. ah, at the moment, maybe when this kind of conflict was highly unlikely, ah,

this statement was not taken as serious as it is, but to day it seems to me the surgeon circles in washington, brussels, london, and other western capitals, expect romanians to die for interests that are not close to their heart. ah, also, i should add that the lebanese are all my athene. i stated that the a deployment of a 100 and 1st the airborne division, the so called mean evils. the one with. busy busy of the u. s. army in romania on the borders with ukraine. ah, is operation for a national civil or google national. sorry. a war with russia against rush. what? yeah. just to pick you up on the actually did the head of that division, the 100 and 1st airborne division. and he did say that they were ready to enter ukraine if needed. now, is that cause for concern or is it just stunted? military?

sabre rattling it is absolutely a cause for concern if we there a, this statement with the statement given a couple of days ago by a general sort of each him on the russian side. where he said that the, the situation is getting more complicated. that essentially, that metal is being bold. ah, it is more and more obvious, i think, even to ukrainian citizens than they were only unfortunately, an object and a cannon. a meet for, for the interests of west. and, and they were pushed into a war against their own. kim, so this is really a very tragic, but i think that, um, it is a very serious statements day. and that the situation might escalate, especially on, on the cyber romania is because let's not forget that romania is

a close to the western part of ukraine. so that means it is close to the nikolai have some part of the front. and i would not be surprised if, ah, if nathan troops are deployed. i mean, there are already, there unofficially. all these mercenaries were just left. the army. and the armies of, of nathan members are more or less ac nato on a soldiers. but now this might be a step further to who escalation. i'm also quite concerned about the activity in the baltic states for one and all and the other countries that are bordering rush on the west, also potentially and with ashley. you may, nathan members, face, so of course the concern all the over i would against a officers romanian patriots. ah, who are trying to prevent their government from entering the national catastrophe?

ah, these words are very important and should be taken seriously, including the word or so the commander of the want hearted, a furnace, will have to wait and see if they are taken seriously don't to stephen gushes. we could continue discussing this for a long time to come for professor at the institute of european studies in bigger belgrade. thank you very much for your time to day. and you called me, ah, oh rushes, defense minister has disgust ukraine's a legit dirty bomb provocations and with his indian and chinese counterparts. that's after moscow's deputy and void to the un claimed the key of wants to drug nato into direct war with russia. by using a so called nuclear dirty bomb grain has the capacity, you count your korean hesser all the her reasons to do so. because we know that students kit is him, wants to enroll for nato, for their ex, ah,

flesh with russia. the comments came following a closed door meeting of the un security council that was held at russia's request, but moscow voicing phase of a possible dirty bomb false flag operation by ukraine. for the idea of obtaining nuclear weapons being hinted up by some ukranian officials over the years was yesterday, i will use all my connections. i will get the whole world on its feed, the best i can, so that there is nothing but a scorched feel left of russia. damn, they need to be shot with nuclear weapons. we will use all the resources we have, including to create effective weapons, dirty or clean. this is a separate checking, a logical issue. if uniquely ukraine should acquire nuclear weapons. again, ukraine can create. so nuclear weapons, we are a great technological power. if any, one of the fears will strike with a dirty bomb will spray radioactive substances and will hint guys, you have such a beautiful city moscow. so beautiful. who prevents us from creating a dirty bomb. we just need to add radioactive dust,

which we already have to the garbage we sent over a western states. our nato have dismissed russia's concerns as transparently false over a lack of evidence. and even said that moscow is looking to escalate the wall. russia continues to accuse falsely ukraine for preparing and making a dirty bone. that is absurd, recalls washer ukraine use a dirty bomb, but on the territories they want to liberate. while ignoring russian concerns us lead to state slum moscow for using the allegations of the pretext for possible nuclear at the thought of despite the pentagon itself, even admitting that there is no proof that russia is conducting any work in this area from a u. s. standpoint, the allegations that ukraine is building a dirty bomb or false. we have not seen at this time though,

any indication that russia has made a decision or intends to employ nuclear weapons or a dirty bomb. russia, we may be credibly serious mistake for, to use a tactical nuclear weapon. i'm not guaranteeing you that it's a false flag operation yet. don't know, but it would be a serious, serious mistake or political analyst. alexander poverty believes that ukraine's government could potentially stage a false flag attack as a way to get more support from the west. yes, western backers have repeatedly mentioned all nuclear weapons and warren russia against using them. and of course, russia had no reason to use them. but then i, when, when, when the russian allegations came out,

i think they sound very credible because kim is definitely starting to feel war. they're desperate to get any sort of western support. and about the only way they can really gather direct western support is by stage of some sort of a cloth flag and accusing russia that have knows that their only chance at all that they have left is to pull in the entire western alliance on their side in ukraine, at the cost of causing world war 3, under pressure from unseen front demonstrations that the ropes had in charge last week, the parish vice president has pointed the finger outside interference saying this other countries ought to blame for the violent protests sinners. so these on the ordinary demonstrations that are brought under control, but a real carefully orchestrated insurgency to create chaos and to concentrate the u.

s. has publicly back to the protest saying that supports a government elected by the people of chug demonstrates this did take to the streets after the president said that he would stay in power for the next 2 years. but we have the latest from a local reporter on the ground yet, and your men alive has to return back to not a mile for the people of the city after last week. up on this, that is a still get a few in place. but as you've been debbie has and i was that 7 based on one of them was upset or for the people who dies in their best the last week. but you also sent him this then it was added as that before this are not normal. you one of the real incentives, some kind of will, a plan for career care was in the country, the president given them in the company, but he is one on powers of supporting unanswered synch up men. while demand behind many protests against the current government, about success muster of the transformer. mover ma'am? said his voice as is clear. and that is what we'll continue to advocate for the tent up. but as people are trying to get back to that,

a lot of my life did with the knowledge that more purpose out of being plan, but they are hoping it would not escalate into other problems. i'm the religious way, like and listen under kristen. france supports the regime in place in chad, and that is the root of all the problems. since we know france wants no change. all they want is their interest. they care about their populations well being in only about their interests. and i think it's time to change things. chairs has many natural resources and that is very reach, but who face high rates of unemployment for example. i got bachelor's degree in 2020 but i don't have any opportunities to get the job. it is very sad to leave and see this in a country like shared with all its resources. so we should change things now. ah, well, tensions are also on the rise in the central africa where canyon troops are preparing to deploy in the democratic republic of congo. joy to fight against anti

government rebels. the chief of kenya's defense forces says they already, he, this mission is like the one we have been heaven in our neighboring country, somalia. and i am happy since the majority of you have been serving at african union mission in somalia, i have great trust in you, and d. r. c is high time. welcome to rebels. the d r. c's governments requested help from african states amid renewed violent clashes with the m 23 militant group. can you forces all the 1st to join with help from uganda, self sudan until engineer also on the way they are sets and so hostile area in a town bordering uganda, which is currently been held by the rebels. it's not the 1st time 10 years miniature is joining a mission overseas. i've been previously been deployed in somalia. the biden administration has stepped up economic pressure on nicaraguan president, daniel ortega's governments imposing sanctions on the countries gold mining

industry. ortega maria regimes continued a tax on democratic actors in members of civil society and the unjust detention of political prisoners demonstrate that the regime feels it is not bound by the rule of law. the u. s. actions are aimed at denying the ortega maria regime the resources they need to continue to undermine democratic institutions in nicaragua, of us treasury imposed sanctions on nicaragua was mining all authority along with top government officials, as bided signed an executive order that could restrict you as companies from doing business with nicaragua was gold industry, as well as blocking us investments in other sectors in the country. we ought to also leave the option of identifying of the sites as of the nicaraguan economy that could be sanctioned further. last year the u. s. accounted for almost 8 percent of nicaraguan gold shipments. earlier our t spoke to ben norton in nicaragua based journalist who says that the new us sanctions are aimed at regime change in the country. these us sanctions are illegal

according to international law. they are unilateral course of measures in the new us sanctions on the gold sector in nicaragua. our aim that one targeting a state lead industry in order to starve the government of revenue. the most popular government in the history of this country. the u. s. government claims that any independent government that refuses to bow down to washington is authoritarian and scare quotes. the reality is that nicaragua had an authoritarian regime, a military dictatorship for decades, run by the most dynasty and the u. s. government installed this and also dictatorship and propped it up, maintaining it in power until the sun needs the revolution in 1979 from 1990 until 2006. the u. s. government backed a series of very corrupt right wing regimes that store billions of dollars of public assets as poverty skyrocket in nicaragua. crime skyrocketed when the

funniest came back in 2007 they, they'd decreased poverty by over half. they decreased violent crime, they ended drug trafficking, they provided safety and security and health care and education. that's why, according to polls, they found the nice, the government has the support of around 70 percent of nicaraguans, or the west pushes for more sanctions on moscow, russia, atomic energy remains one of the few unsourced by those restrictions. that's because the american nuclear industry is heavily dependence on highly enriched uranium, which is a fuel source. it's only russia producers on a commercial basis. and according to industry giants, it's extremely difficult to replace the technology. nobody wants to order 10 reactors without a fuel source. and nobody wants to invest in a fuel source without 10 reactor orders. a line out of the 10 advanced reactors in

the us are designed to use hull. you a type of highly enriched uranium. american atomic developers have for many years purchase the material from the russian state owned nuclear energy company, raw satin, which is top of the market. the u. s. was in no hurry to replace the russian imports as it was unprofitable for the industry. due to the time on investments, it would say to develop their own program. earlier we discussed the issue with alex say, unfair log of head of russian research fund. the us know vanya foundation, who says it's difficult for the u. s. to develop uranium domestically. what you're looking for, it must be said, russia possess 45 percent of the world's uranium enrichment capacity. it is no secret that is the legacy of the soviet union. and even now, when the question arose about a supply of energy related uranium, it was the united states and american congressman who excluded you, read him from the package of sanctions against the russian federation. judging by

the previous sections of the us, they are still happy that the russian federation produces uranium separates isotopes and supplies ready may few, 2, united states. at the same time, i don't see him taking any reasonable or realistic steps to create their own separation industry. neither are the europeans, although it seems to be a commercially profitable market. they haven't managed to do anything. i think the u. s. will remain dependent on the russian and richmond industry for at least the next 5 or maybe even 10 years. ah, ukraine's become an american saul and a proxy war against russia. well, that's the latest assessments of the military conflict from levine, vladimir putin. so if a kid yellow ukraine has lost sovereignty and is being directly used by the us as a battering ram against rochelle, almost immediately ukraine was turned into a testing ground for biological warfare experiments,

and is now being pumped up with weapons. ortiz marina course of a joints. we now are the channel marina. what else was said by the russian president, what's the latest? and he statement vladimir putin said that the world is becoming increasingly multi polar, but some are evidently trying to hold on to their as he put a diminishing leadership by, of course, using ukraine as an example and turn it against russia. it's losing all software and see, he said that the potential for conflict in the region and around the world remains really, really high. and that ukraine has basically been turned into a train and ground for biological experiments. and now as we know, it's also been armed with weapons more and more. and he added that there are, there is a black market being formed where missiles and high precision weapons could fall into the wrong hands into dangerous hands. so this is where vladimir putin was worn

and about. and he also said that, of course, the international community has been observing acts of sabotage and not doing anything about it. but his main focus again was that ukraine is losing all sovereignty and it's being turned against russia. and of course opt out with more and more weapons and no one saying anything about it or do anything about it. because they're trying to hold on to their leadership in the world and trying to achieve this to make sure it stays that way. no matter what, no matter what they have to resort to marina. thank you for breaking down the latest statements by vladimir putin as archie correspondent, marina casa. thank you. although the maturity may thus statement shortly after overseeing a series of military exercises by russia strategic nuclear forces, which i've been on high alert since the end of february. the joint drills involved sea underground forces, several ballistic and cruise missiles were testified, with military officials saying that all the targets were hit successfully. the

annual exercise was announced in advance of moscow had also warned washington, it's the 2nd such drill held by russia's military so far this year. last all from me, peter, scott. but nicky are and will be here. the top of the are with all the latest news and updates on those stories you just heard. thank you very much for your company. with a, a, a, a, a

. ah, a said talk is cheap, but lose talk about dirty bombs is nothing less than dangerous. with both russia and ukraine preparing for new offences, the west is not shy, talking about nuclear weapons. is the west thinking the unthinkable? ah, the eradication of slough ism was also conceived by hitler who formed the general plan ost for the colonization and generation of eastern europe. the plan involved about 80 percent being killed or relocated me. those labels he technical busy, usually his prostate to me are story up when you my of food abuse your dream. yes, because of the me.
