when you get a a with because if the west doesn't like you to morrow, anyone could be next. russia's foreign minister warns countries could find themselves falling out of favor. but the unipolar policies of the west are gay lab wrong had been speaking about the main security challenges facing europe with russian billionaire and crypto currency entrepreneur is killed in a helicopter crash. it's the 3rd sudden death of a high profile figure involved in digital currencies in recent weeks with us lawmakers vote to approve a bill to prevent strikes by railway workers comes as the threatened action is

predicted to cost the economy $2000000000.00 with just after 8 pm here in moscow and you're watching our international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program which our top story, the west will impose the same harsh policies against those countries. it doesn't like that it already has on russia and china. that's the stark warning from russia's foreign minister, as he commented on european security during a media conference in moscow. almost as the guest, if the west doesn't like you to morrow any one could be next. it already doesn't like russia. chinese already becoming the object of sanctions. it is forbidden to sell and buy goods that americans want to use for their competitive advantages. it did take him more than 2 hours to go through everything that he had to say in this

well round of marathon talks and conversations with john les. and of course, the majority of a his while statements are they focused on the global security and where the world is at right now, according to russia, from moscow's standpoint. and the situation, well, it's far, far from easy off rule. the world has never been closer to a direct military confrontation between russia and nato. given that the alliance is well, very much actively involved in the events in ukraine and the fighting that is going on right now as we speak in that country. and of course, so nato, it did steal the spotlight a lot of times and of basically the russian tub diplomat, he gave his view as to how the alliance again and moscow's opinion is right now. well, basically formulating and justifying its existence, excuses. we of course, remember how when nato was created, the 1st secretary general. mister ismael came up with this formula for europe.

answer, keep the russians out. the americans in and the germans down. what's happening now absolutely shows. nato's returned to those conceptual priorities that were devised . 70 years ago, they want to keep the russians out of europe. bruce, in the meantime, the americans have already enslaved the whole continent. keep it in check, not just germany, of the entire european union. so the philosophy of domination and benefits for only one side didn't go anywhere after the end of the cold war. this philosophy of domination was definitely a tempting concept for nato, given that it was left as the only well strong power after the war. so packed well fell apart, i should say. and as nato it did entrust, and the world was entrusting global security in the hands of a, another body o as c e. and according to the russian tub diplomat, at that this will organization, fells, or failed spectacularly to basically, a circle, latter of accused o is see of

a failing to stand up to washington to stand up to nato and of her failing to and even speak out against their world criminal initiatives, the bombings of serbia, the bombings of bell gray, libya, and so on and so forth. so this is what you have there. and this again, staying with a, with this concept of domination. it is not only does not only relate to the military block to the military policies that are spearheaded from washington, basically it is plaguing european diplomacy to usually if this is of european diplomacy is the need to help you crane now, because it's defending european values, then that means only one think this diplomats are not being informed of what is really happening in ukraine. they are not being told how nazi practices are openly enforced. and what is enshrined in the states legislation. if european diplomacy, while pretentiously calling to protect ukraine, which defense you are being values understand socio being values which gave

promotes than we dont need to have anything to do with that diplomacy. sir gallagher of here pointing out the discrepancy between what the european union and its diplomats say they defend and what actually is going on on the ground in ukraine. but even given this of standpoint, this point of view that is shared by moscow, a leads right now that well of the ukrainian politics is written with the neo nazis . imand, well, all sorts of vile initiatives, or even the, even, even with that sad moscow, was ready to sit behind the same negotiating table and find common ground. and apparently, according to sir, elaborate, ukraine initially was to, but then was told to do otherwise by their overseas partners was due on march 29th . in istanbul, the ukrainians handed us a document. we supported those principles for the conflict settlement which were laid out there. one of this principles was the insuring of ukraine's security

through respect for its non alliance status, respect for its nuclear free status, as well as the provision of guarantees on a collective basis. these guarantees were to be given, not by nato, but by the un security councils. 5 permanent members focus, germany and turkey were also mentioned. we agreed to that, but clearly within a day or 2 of the ukrainians were told by their american masters while you're doing this, we still need to use you to exhaust the russian army. when we are accused of constantly asking for negotiations in a bid to buy time so that we can gather our forces that both amusing and unpleasant because people are openly lying. we have never asked for negotiations where we have always said that if someone has any interest in a negotiated settlement, we are prepared to listen. well, there you have it. basically, if care was prepared to make the 1st step then, well, moscow's dues are open, but hang general the russian tub diplomat has made it abundantly clear that russia

is done with the status quo that existed in the for the past decades in the world. and it is not going to revert back to the old ways a russian, billionaire and crypto currency entrepreneur has been killed in a helicopter crash near monaco. it's the latest sudden death of a major figure in the crypto currency world in recent months. earlier i discussed these developments with ortiz rachel blevins. this latest case involves a 53 year old russian millionaire whose net worth was estimated to be around $20000000000.00. now he was the founder of the 4 x club and the president of the liberty group known as a crypto currency entrepreneur. now when it comes to his death so far, what we know is that he died in the helicopter crash where he was the only passenger. now reports are saying that this helicopter crash in the middle of the afternoon that it was a clear day, clear skies outside. and that the pilot was very experienced. reports of also said

that there was supposed to be a 2nd passenger on board. that helicopter, who decided to back out at the last minute. so a lot of questions there as to how that helicopter crash and the 1st place and who that other passenger was. and of course, why they decided not to take the trip. as we know, this isn't the 1st high profile deaf in the crypto currency world that happened that has happened over the last 2 months. can you give us some more information about the circumstances surrounding the previous ones? yes of just over a week ago it was reported that a 30 year old crypto billionaire died suddenly in his sleep. now he was the founder of the amber group, which has a net worth of around $3000000000.00 and was reportedly and talks to raise around $100000000.00 more dollars. and that's where he was a very central figure. and now he rose to prominence over the last few years. he was referred to as hong kong crypto king and even made the list of forbes 30 under 30. but not a lot has been said about why he died suddenly in his sleep. now that wasn't the

only case, there was also another case just over a month ago with a 29 year old crypto millionaire who reportedly was found dead in puerto rico. now his death is especially notable because it came just hours after he posted this statement on twitter. take a look. cia and ma sat in pito elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail. ring out of puerto rico and caribbean islands. they're going to frame me with laptop planted by my ex girlfriend who was a spy. they will torture me to death. now, not a lot is known about this crypto entrepreneurs net worth, other than report saying that he did give away millions in crypto to various charities. however, his friends and family have spoken out and so that they were incredibly concerned about his welfare and that they voiced that in the weeks leading up to his death. and they were concerned that he was becoming increasingly more paranoid. now, when it comes to all 3 of those cases, we have to know that authorities have not said whether or not they suspect foul

play in any of these does or whether they see any links to crypto. however, it is notable that all 3 of these individuals were prominent in the world of crypto, and it's of course, comes as there has been increasing scrutiny, looking at crypto currency exchanges with f t x founder sam bakeman fried. now speaking out, but not really having much to say about the reported $1000000000.00 and client funds that have gotten missing. so certainly a lot more questions there than there are answers. so for us, lawmakers have approved a bill to prevent strikes by railway workers, which joe biden says are devastating for the economy now. so representatives also passed another bill to include 7 days paid sick leave for workers despite the initial demand being 14 at vote ended up being $22014.20 against ending almost exactly along party lines. both resolutions must now be approved by the senate or around 30 percent of us. cargo shipments could be frozen

and potential strike action that would cause the economy up to $2000000000.00 a day. now to get more on the story, we're going to cross live now to our correspondent caleb mop. and caleb does this, does it to stop the strike action and approve sick pay for workers? i mean what's going on here? well essentially, this bill that was just passed by the us house of representatives would outlaw a potential upcoming strike, would force the railroad workers unions. that's 4 different unions that represent 55 percent of railroad workers in america. they would force them to accept a contract that they have already rejected, and they say they plan to go on strike anyhow. even if the congress goes ahead and passes this law. but december 9th is the day, the contract would expire and they have rejected this contract. the new law says they have to accept it. to know you've heard me say many times i intend to be the

most pro union present. in the most pro unit administration, american history. that's why credit to white house task force on work organization and palmer to make sure the choice to join a union belongs to workers along unions are more fed, more support today in america, and public opinion than any time in 60 years. now, that's joe biden. the u. s. president who has presented himself as the most pro labor pro labor union president in history such a big strong supporter of labor union. but now he's pushing forward this piece of legislation that would outlaw a strike and basically take away the ability of railroad workers to withhold their labor in a strike. and he's saying, well, this has to be done because of the economic impact and such a strike. it would be devastating on the u. s. economy. well, many americans are looking at that and saying, well, what about all the inflation you provide resided over?

i mean, that's going to certainly have an impact on the u. s. economy. now there's a separate piece of legislation that as pass in the house of representatives, that would grant 7 paid sick days to railroad workers. however, it looks like, even though this has been tapped in the house of representatives, and this is seen as getting a confession to the railroad workers. it looks like it's not going to pass in the u . s. senate, they don't feel confident that the us senate will go ahead and pass this be the legislation the president of course, support and he supports paid sick leave for all americans and for including real workers. this is something as you have seen him over the past, almost 2 years. talk about that and try to move forward and making sure improve in, in getting paid sick leave. but he understands there are not 60 votes, right? there are not 60 votes in the senate to make that happen. but one issue that has always gotten the 60 votes in the us senate that the by the ministration says,

is needed to pass legislation, is ukraine when it comes to ukraine. the us congress, both the house and the senate are happy to open up their check books and pass legislation in may. there was $40000000000.00 provided to you, grand by the states in september, an additional $12300000000.00 was passed by the us congress and provided to ukraine. meanwhile, if one looks at the. busy poles, the u. s. public isn't deeply concerned about ukraine. ukraine just isn't showing up among the top issues that americans are concerned about. americans are concerned about inflation, the economy. they're concerned about the danger of war. but the notion that that ukraine and sending weapons and a do grant is one of their top concern doesn't seem to be a priority. but regardless, we'd now see the binder administration on the brink of essentially turning its back and really doing significant damage to one of its strongest allies, the labor movement,

taking away the ability of railroad workers to withhold their labor and go on strike. meanwhile, when it comes to ukraine, an issue that americans have just shown in poll after poll after poll, that they aren't deeply concerned about. we've seen the bible and ministration, never show any restraint and go ahead and provide whatever that or whatever is needed in a conflict that most americans just aren't interested. all right, our teeth came up and thanks to bring us those details. now we go to europe where 6 explosive parcels have been discovered in spain. that's according to local media citing police officials vanish. authorities have stepped up security measures in view of this threat. the bomb parcels had been sent to high profile targets, including the ukrainian embassy and madrid, as well as the u. s. embassy and the spanish prime minister security officer was injured after one device detonated, and according to media reports, devices were constructed to cause

a fire rather than an actual explosion. and an investigation is still underway into this matter. the german parliament has passed a motion to officially call a 19 thirty's famine that took place in the territory of ukraine. while it was part of the soviet union, a genocide, russia's foreign ministry has reacted, slamming the boon to stock resolution as an attempt to distort history. the german political elite attempts to belittle its guilt using not officially contracted acts of genocide by ukrainian nationalist radicals and blaming the u. s. i saw for it the german elite tries to whitewash the memory of countless inhumane crimes of unprecedented scale committed by nazi germany. in the 2nd world war a vast majority of german m. p. 's supported the move to call the deaths of millions of people political murder by the soviet leadership. that's despite the fact that the famine took place, not justin ukraine, but in other parts of the country as well. several of the regions of the soviet

union suffered failed crops including the urals and central russia. in fact, the soviet government actually made an effort to help you crane with food at the expense of other regions. but to get more on this now we're going to cross live to gunner back. he's a member of the european parliament for the alternative for germany party. thank you very much for joining us, gunner. so what do you make of this bonus dog resolution? well, it's all at one would assume that with rising energy prices, java government has other concerns or i'm also not sure it's particularly wise to pass upon of entry resolutions on the internal affairs of another country. what do you think? what do you think is the, is the goal of this, basically? is it actually to stand up for some sort of justice for ukraine, or is it an act of historical distortion?

well, i think the timing is important. i think that's the key factor. i mean, i knew his story and i'm certainly not in his story and of the soviet era. so i would prefer to remain. i mean, i'd have to look at the issue very closely to assess it. but i'm struck by the timing of the resolution. i'm not necessarily sure it's very helpful. it's unlikely just tends to ensure a rapid resolution of the conflict in your cray. why do you think the timing for this was chosen? because of course, there have been, for a long time, i mean, neo nazis and nationalist and ukraine, pushing this narrative for why the going to stop pass this resolution right now. do you think? well, i think that's the key question. it's obviously designed

to highlight something they regard as the previous history of the current military conflicts. so as i said, i didn't think it's very helpful in contributing to a resolution on the conflict. it's not very helpful in particular to go back to the past, whatever the tooth shells, but i'm afraid it's its illustrates a german preoccupation with going back to history and often a very one sided reading of history to justify current day politics. while speaking of berlin's, you know, interpretation of these historical events, do you think with this resolution the german politically lee might be trying to sweep the crimes of the nazis?

at least some of them under the rug or divert attention to legit crimes of the soviet union. well, i can see the point of many of your previous questions, but i'm afraid on this particular point i'm not so sure you're right because even today i. 1 1 77 years after the 2nd world war and in germany, one sometimes gets the impression as if the 2nd world war had ended a short while ago. because whatever the german government does, whether it's a pumping dozens of millions of euro's into subsidizing other u member states, whether it, it's a pursuing a pro migration policy, it's always refer it to germany's historical passed as the justification. so present day a political initiative,

initiatives are often betrayed as a way of attorney for the past. 2 0, well, i'm a bit worried is when german, when the german government today is taking a very one sided role in a contemporary conflict, as it does right now in relation to ukraine. i think it will be germany's historical responsibility to take a back seat. and i'm not sure that the german government with this resolution is doing that, i think is rather doing your opposite. and this was allusion could be beneficial. i could be interpreted as justifying a very considerable, a financial support from the e. u and germany in particular, for ukraine stepping away from the history of this matter and just focusing on the

resolution. how have some of the parties that abstained from voting reacted to the passing of this revolution? well, only 2 parties abstained from my own party. the alternative job and the left wing party. the reasons for abstaining are pretty much the reasons i've outlined to you now. at 1st, germany's in the grid of a deepening economic recession. i think we have a warning, then passing judgment on historical facts. well, around 80 years, more than 80 years, nearly 90 years in the past. and secondly, i think my party in particular is concerned about the

resolution or the conflict in ukraine as soon as possible. i do think this conflict is of interest. and so we all of you, and i'm sure most of my colleagues in the german born discharge of the view that passing his resolutions on historical fact, he's only likely to inflame sentiments and not to contribute to a peaceful resolution. while you mentioned that this could contribute to, you know, inflaming the relationship between the european union and russia. but what, how could this specifically do that? do you think? well, i mean, it's looking for previous instances of a conflict between russia and ukraine, but it's actually going. busy further than that, genocide, it's condemning the soviet union of genocide. now we have to look at the definition

of genocide. genocide means the deliberate killing of a large number of members of a particular nation or ethnic group in an attempt to wipe out or destroy that nation or ethnic group. that's a very, very serious accusation. and i'm not sure that such serious accusations in the present circumstances are very helpful. i'm not even sure it's accurate as a matter. well, i am convinced it's not accurate as a matter of international law because i think one had would have to demonstrate the intentional killing of a large number of ukrainians. not just the accidental or negligent

death of a large number of people. and as i said, and not in historical ex 3rd of the soviet union, but in, i haven't seen much evidence in terms of a deliberate attempt to wipe out a whole nation, in this case, the ukrainian and unless one is bayshore, unless the historical facts are very incontrovertible, i think bumps should be very cautious. i should be very cautious in particular when enter interfering in the internal affairs of another country or in this instance 2 countries. all right, got her back member of the european parliament and member 4 of the alternative for germany party. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. my pleasure. goodbye to you. well, the head of the european council, charles michelle has met with the chinese leader on thursday. the talks come,

i made soaring tensions over the anti locked down protests in china and its support for russia in the ukrainian conflict art contributor rachel marston has more details on that. faced with rising energy cost inflation di, industrialization, and potential trade war with the u. s. u think that when european council president shocked me, shed took a trip to beijing this week is priority. would have been to reaffirm the blocks relationship with its top economic trading partner. like it's life depended on it, you know, double down on what german chance are all i've showed said when he was in beijing last month, that europe has no interest in decoupling from china, which is of course, what the u. s. is trying to get its allies to do with china by signing onto its anti china export controls. the blog has created enough economic problems for itself right now as the result of its own leadership propensity for approaching everything so heavy handedly. if you're in ideological prism, rather than

a pragmatic one, like with russia around the ukraine conflict, you think they might want to take a quick break from talking about ukraine's problems to focus on their own economic woes, which beijing just might be in a position to give them a hand with particularity, when she's in ping, encourage the political resolution of ukraine conflict. during shocking michelle's visit. solving the ukranian crisis through political means is in the best interest of europe and the common interest of all countries in eurasia. under current conditions, we must avoid escalation and expansion of the crisis and work for peace. jeremy shed could have seen that as a point of mutual agreement and a launching pad to move on to their bilateral agenda. but apparently old habits die hard because shocked me shed could not stop bashing russia and ask for the chinese prison it's held in doing so at the united nations security council. i'm sure that ally of russia she's in ping will get right on that voters before shock michelle's

visit. there was a report of a lot of commotion in the european diplomatic community over whether he should cancel the trip entirely. and if not that he should be absolutely ready to greg is finger at the chinese president for the chinese government's handling of the anti cove. it locked downs and in soothing protests. the chair of the parliament's delegation for relations with china even raised the spectre of new e. you anti china sanctions? yeah, sure. why not now that they've cut their economies off from russian fuel with sanctions? it's never too late to get going on finishing off what's left of the european economy by sanctioning its largest trading partner. so what did shocking me should say to she shouldn't ping about the protests in china. while he told reporters that he underscored the importance of the right to peaceful assembly and quote, the acceptance by society of the anti cobit measures. just last year though,

it was shock michelle who was calling on europe to fight against citizen resistance to anti coated jap mandates. doesn't sound like he had too much interest in respecting the popular will back home when he decided to force compliance. here's a quick reminder of what anti cupid restriction and mandate protests looked like back home in europe. ah ah, a shall we say also said the quote, european companies are available to provide vaccines if those vaccines are

authorized by the chinese authorities. yeah. why not? why not get the chinese protesters protesting against your mandates as well? so european big pharma is apparently willing to sell the china. you don't say what is shock. you go visit the president of a country and offer him a drug deal. did you bring any samples with you? maybe you could have asked if anyone wanted to go shoot up the vaccines about to write that in there. in any case, good luck trying to keep any big farmer revenues rolling in from china. if the you ever carries out that sanctions threat russian state nuclear energy company, ross item is expanding its charitable efforts to develop education in developing countries. this thursday, it will host its global impact conference, bringing together experts from 20 countries for discuss how to improve access to quality education around the world. event will include both online.
