a with because even the west doesn't like you to morrow, anyone could be next. russia's foreign minister warrants countries could find themselves falling out of favor with the unipolar policies of the west shore. de lab ross had been speaking about the main security challenges facing europe with a 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 current season with us law makers vote to approve of bill blocking future possible strikes of railway workers

. it comes as the threatened action is predicted to cost the country's economy $2000000000.00 a day with hello there. you're watching our international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. our top story, the west will impose the same harsh policies against those countries that doesn't like as 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 and 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 journalists and of course are the majority of a his while statement. so they focused on the global security and where the world is at right now. according to russia, from moscow standpoint, and the situation, well, it's far, far from easy out 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 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 schedule. we of course, remember how when nato was created, the 1st secretary general. mister ismael came up with this formula for europeans,

so 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 to lose. in the meantime, the americans have already enslaved the whole continent. give it incheck, 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 of diplomat, at that this'll organization felt or failed spectacularly to basically, circle laughter. of accused o is see of

a failing to stand up to washington to stand up to nato and of failing to even speak out against their well criminal initiatives. the bombings of serbia, the bombings of belgrade, 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 of european diplomacy is the need to help you crane now, because it's defending european values more than 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 defends your being values,

understands those european 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 g, elaborate ukraine initially was 2, 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, germany and turkey were also mentioned. we agreed to that, but clearly within a day or 2, 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 were accused of constantly asking for negotiations in a bid to buy time so that we can gather our forces. that's both amusing and unpleasant because people are openly lying. we have never asked for negotiations, but 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 cave is 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 the developments with ortiz rachel blevins. this latest case involves a 53 year old russian billionaire 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 liber text group known as a crypto currency entrepreneur. now when it comes to his death so far, what we know is that he died in a 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. busy 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 mo, sat in pito elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of puerto rico in 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 and crypto to various charities. however, his friends and family have spoken out and said 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 as of course comes as there has been increasing scrutiny, looking at crypto currency exchanges with f t x founder sam bakeman fried, now sneaking out, but not really having much to say about the reported 1000000000 dollars and client funds that have gone missing. so certainly a lot more questions there than there are answers so far. now on to the united states, we're lawmakers have approved a bill to block potential strikes by railway workers, which president biden says he'd be devastating for the economy. the house of representatives also passed another bill to include 7 days paid sick leave for workers despite the initial demand being 14, both resolutions must now be approved by the senate or around 30 percent of us. cargo shipments could be frozen in potential strike action that would cost the economy up to $2000000000.00 per day or cheese. caleb walton has the details. well,

essentially this bill that was just passed by the us house of representatives would outlaw a potential upcoming strike. i 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 reject it. now, the onions themselves are saying that they will go on strike anyway, regardless of whether or not it is illegal, but the biden administration has long presented itself as a friend of organized labor. 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, i try credit the white house task force, worker organization empowerment to make sure the choice to join a union belongs to workers along union is, 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 is such a big, strong supporter of labor unions. 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 of 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 he's provide presided 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 has passed in the house of representatives that would grant 7 paid sick days to railroad workers. however, it looks like, even though this has been passed in the house of representatives, and this is seen as getting a concession 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 u. s. senate will go ahead and pass this piece of legislation. the president of course, support. 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 and improve in, in getting paid sick leave. but he understands there are not 60 boats, right? there are not 60 votes in the senate to make that happen. but one issue that it always got in 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 ukraine by the added states in september, an additional $12300000000.00 was passed by the us congress and provided to ukraine. meanwhile, if one looks at the polls,

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. 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 is asked for whatever is needed in a conflict that most americans just aren't interested in german parliament has passed a motion to officially call an 1900 thirty's famine. that took place on the territory of ukraine. while it was part of the soviet union, a genocide, russian 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 artificially contracted acts of genocide by ukrainian nationalists 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 soviet leadership. that's despite the fact that the famine took place, not just in ukraine, but in other parts of the country as well. and several of the regions of the soviet union suffered crop failure, including the urals and central russia. in fact, the soviet government actually made an effort to help ukraine with food at the expense of other regions. alternative for germany party m e p gunner back doesn't believe the newly adopted resolution by the boon to stock will help the resort with resolving the ukraine crisis. i'm struck by the timing of the resolution. i'm not

necessarily sure it's very helpful. it's unlikely to further attends and to ensure a rapid resolution of the conflict in your cray. it's not very helpful in particular to go back to the past, whatever the truth. but i'm afraid it's m illustrates a german preoccupation with going back to history and often a very one sided reading of history justify current day or politics. this resolution could be, could be interpreted as justifying a very considerable financial support from the you and germany. in particular, for ukraine. in a recent briefing, the u. s. representative to nato claimed washington fines at counterproductive to

designate russia a terrorist state since it could inter hinder western assistance to ukraine. on the question of whether or not ne, tim is debating or discussing the possibility of designating russia as a terrorist state. the feeling in washington is that this really is a necessary at the moment. and in fact, kit be perhaps counter productive. over those words, come in stark contrast to nato's consolidated position with member states voting unanimously. to designate russia as a terrorist organization earlier last month and calling for the creation of a special tribunal the european parliament has also adopted a resolution to declare russia a sponsor of terrorism. calling on the e. u to isolate russia in response, moscow slammed the moves as pseudo legal labeling of countries. the west simply doesn't like. but to get more on this now we're going across live to former pentagon senior security policy analyst, michael maloof. hi there,

michael. so this recent statement by the u. s. seems to suggest that the western position on russia is not as consolidated as many may have previously thought. what do you think about it? well, i think it's the only truthful thing that's come out of a, of a u. s. diplomat. regarding the situation there in ukraine. it would be totally counterproductive. and in fact, the, i think it's also a signal that the by the administration would like the lensky to start thinking about a ceasefire and sitting down and talking and negotiate the final settlement. i think the by the administration is quickly coming to the conclusion that litski is out of his mind when he thinks he's going to take, hang in there and take everything back and, and expect the united states and, and then europe to follow suit and, and back him with back is every whim,

it's just not going to happen. that's the reality in europe needs to wake up and smell the coffee here because the winter is about ready to set in. and i think the, i think russia has given ukraine ample opportunity now to do just that to come to the table. and what's happening is that zelinski is ignore that. and i think we're going to see a mass of russian offensive occurring here in the very near future. but i think the, what the natal representative us, natal representative said that is true true because it does limit even greater options if, if the us were to back that because it would, it would limit any ability to negotiate anything with russia as a consequence. and i think russia is looking at what moves and, and leadership,

if you can call it that, that the united states is giving to, to nato. and so far, nothing like that is going to happen as long as the u. s. whole to this position, this with this could affect any the effort to negotiate it could effect any effort for deals to, for a grain shipments. it would just absolutely paralyze any effort to work with moscow. notwithstanding differences towards any kind of resolution of this conflict that's actually effect in europe more than it is the u. s. so these people just don't just shoot themselves in the foot that you can sell in the head. and i don't see how they could prolong this and sustain this fight against moscow at this point. while staying on europe, do you think that european rhetoric might make a u turn after this recent statement by the united states?

ah, i think that's the hope and expectation i, as i said, i don't think europe is going to act or do anything unless it has us backing. because the u. s. could then say, well, we're not going to be a part of this any longer. that, that i think is what, what the reality should be because this, this conflict is it is not in the us national interest, us national security interest. it should be in their interest to try to settle this thing once and for all least in the, in the, in the minds of the europeans. because they're the ones most directly affected by all of this. the u. s. a at right now cannot sustain its logistical support to ukraine indefinitely. besides that, it's back billing when europe is sending it out. and it in us is actually provided most of the most of the money

approach in a $100000000000.00, by the way. and yet zelinski still isn't satisfied and i think that's irking a lot of people and that as we, as we were now hearing from republicans that this is something that they will be looking at very, very carefully. they're going to be ending the so called blank check. and i think that that is a message that europe is going to have to take very, very seriously, and try to reverse it. it's its own belligerent tone and face reality. they're not facing reality. and i think that they need to understand that this cannot go on indefinitely. and former pentagon senior security policy analysts, michael maloof, always a pleasure having you on the program. thank you. on the head of the european council, charles michelle has met with the chinese leader on thursday. the talks coming mid soaring tensions over the anti locked down, protest in china and its support for russia in the ukranian conflict or to

contributor rachel marston has more details, was faced with rising energy cost inflation, economic problems for itself right now as the result of its own leadership propensity for approaching. everything's so heavy handedly through an 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 encouraged, a political resolution of ukraine conflict during shocking michelle's visit solving the ukrainian 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 chub. michelle could have seized 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 before shot. michelle's visit there was report only 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 wag his finger at the chinese president for the chinese government's handling of the anti cove it loc downs and in suing protests. 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 coded measures. just last year though, it was shock. michelle, who was calling on europe to fight against citizen resistance to anti coven jap.

mandates. doesn't sound like he had much interested and 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, with shouted me 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 a 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 in the bathroom, right, that in there. in any case, good luck trying to keep any big farmer revenues rolling in from china. if you ever carries out that sanctions threat and now to the ukraine conflict where ukrainian forces have shelled the center of the city of done yet using grad multiple rocket systems, that's according to local authorities. that claim 3 people have been wounded and 2 kindergartens as well. as for residential homes came under fire, artes, or lawn culture reports from one of the homes that was hit ukrainian

nationalists, sheldon, the sensor of dentist once again. right now i'm standing in one of the apartments here which was completely destroyed by a shell from a multiple high rocket launch artillery system. take a look and me, it is now completely destroyed. we are on the 4th floor of this building. this is not the only apartment that is no longer liveable. the owners of this apartment, valerie and helena, went to market, half an hour before the strike. and this save their life. i called my husband, he told me to come home. the neighbors called and said to destroy quito apartment, there was a sad ceiling fan, tennis in sight, a shoe in the front guardedness. the 1st thought was that it was tangled, the one luncheon to shake with my own hands. i don't know what we'll do. we'll

clean this up and then i don't know where it will leave. this is what the consequences of this particular shelling look from outside. this is a children's playground. once again, there are thousands of people that live here. take a look up there. this is a direct hit into a residential building. once again, we are in a sensor of done that's thankfully no one was killed during this particular attack . however, elsewhere in done esc and in the rest of the republic, there were casualties. at least one person was killed and 4 people were injured on thursday alone from on coffer archie, the nest republic or some state nuclear energy company ross adam, is expanding its charitable efforts to develop education in developing countries. this thursday will host at global impact conference bringing together experts from
