a 25 years behind bars on charges of arming terrorists and aspiring to kill americans with an al 55 year old as always, staunchly, deny those accusations. he was traded for american basketball player. brittany greiner, who had been convicted of drug offenses here in russia. and the russian citizen gave his 1st t v interview exclusively to r t. and he claims america's strength is being threatened from within their home. welcome. now, you know, in fact and knowing many maids, i figure out who showing way more common mentor america is very much syn. miller look, it's the same size. if they have a, it's the same kind of this and when you talk to them, there is nothing they even to beef about. we are naturally, you know, bore not to be enemies. and whenever this conflict, it's elise, you know, every, you know, american i met in the prison, who is a from rural area,

was very easy to deal with. she has no problem with russia. and he was curious about russia, despite all propaganda, they losing their christian values. they're losing their families, they're losing literally their contract. it's not anymore the same country renew america who used to be a model for entire world. and lead a be an example in all like the say, a shiny town on the, you know, sparkling town on a heel. and this is of course, pity. it was a strong country who was really age, non industrial. might you know this one and look for city, 40 years, the industrialization, drug problem, crime waves. you can understand and i feel more empathy to american off of as experience than i would feel any hate. what would you consider as the most important event all the years that you have spent in prison?

ah, which events are international? well, there's no name. internationalism, 14. 0, okay, why? well, it's, i guess i would be in her history as a turning point. would say turning point of russia, finest and above with nice, proud, strong, 14 years ago. when your, if you would have known that it's going to happen was you, i mean, you're going to spend 14 years away from your family, family ally the land. what do you have? ah, would you do something differently in your life? it's difficult to leave on the colleagues of your heart. but if you listen in your heart, no, no, yes, you go, no. sometimes you get into trouble. but you never betrayed yourself. you know, in this inner peace give you enough strength to go through everything. why?

because you don't have a coffee inside of you, doesn't matter what you have decent included because you trusting your heart your trusting callings of your blood, your trusting, and you're never fighting who you are. so what was the life like being held behind boss for more than a decade in a maximum security prison in america, you'd find the answer to that and more in 2 exclusive interviews at victor boot has given us here at our teeth. you can see the full interview tomorrow all day sunday, otherwise, here on this channel, and archie dot com. well, there's another american who's currently serving a 16 year sentence and a penal colony in russia. that right there is mister pull whelan detained in moscow and 2018 convicted of espionage. 2 years later, the former marin express frustration surrounding the recent prison of swap, specifically decisions taken by that of the biden administration. i am very disappointed that more has not been done for my release,

especially as the 4th anniversary of my arrest approaches. i was led to believe that things were moving in the right direction and that the governments were negotiating and that something would happen fairly soon. i was arrested for a crime that never occurred. i don't understand why i am still sitting here and accommodate, as of alleged at the i release of brittany griner rather than poll whelan was more in sync with the current u. s. political agenda. and while former officials in washington, coal, the trade a defeat for the us, the white house folks post and took the time to lay praised on the released american. as the president said this morning, she represents the best of america. she is an important role model and inspiration to millions of americans, particularly the l. g. p teacher. i plesk americans and women of color, the boot for greiner prisoner swap as not a trade. it's an american surrender. this is not what american strength looks like . terrorists and rogue states are smiling. what kind of

a deal is it to swore brittany griner, a basketball player who openly hated country for the man known as a merchant of death. what a stupid an unpatriotic embarrassment for the usa. this is all politics again. why was she chosen or not all? well in purely politics. again, she fit the stereotype of a bite in political base of support. right. so he wants to cater to them. he, he's free. he's brought home one of their own. it's entirely political the suit and because certainly ok, she's a very talented and successful. amazing basketball player, but aren't all lies equal? can we all be equal? i mean, paul, well, i'm not a great basketball player as far as i know and, but isn't he also have rights as an american citizen? why did they choose him? well, again, this is purely political. it was a political decision why she was chosen and not him. he's someone who is most likely we can probably guess is probably probably a conservative. so we can leave him in, in the president of moscow. but let's say the l g

b t save the lesbian basketball player. that's very important part some details now from don bos, where at least one person has been wounded off ukrainian shelling of the don't have to city send. there was, according for local officials. now. it comes to resume shutting across. that's going to be the next republic. from the early morning hours, we understand launching thousands of shells included, one supplied by nato countries. one local school in gwinnett city was damaged, as well as the local bus station and a number of residential buildings. well, earlier on friday, one person was killed 2 more wounded and other times with kiev launching more than $200.00 shells on residential areas. among the target with a house by shelling which was completely raised to the ground. many apartment buildings and cars were also damaged. so russia pointed to the ongoing, shutting off down. yes, the latest un security council meeting concerns were raised to about om supplied. the key of winding up in the hands of terrorists must go on bus. it also said

ukrainian forces have been using western supplied weaponry to be killing civilians . tuscany did have done is a real massacre with the use of western weapons. has been taking place into nets can recent weeks as ukrainian forces pushed by western countries who are trying to literally destroy the city. they conduct daily attacks on residential areas where there are no military targets in regular crowded places are being hit during rush hour. there have been significant casualties and destruction fluids just before the un security council meeting began in manhattan at the un chamber. i'm just before it began yet back on, done as he had already begun. so the remarks made by the russian ambassador were quite rolliger. and so as he was describing what was going on, he described attacks on civilians. he described a how the forces, based in cuba, how they've been using the weapons provided to them by the united states,

the crimes against civilians they have committed. here is some of what the russian ambassador said when addressing the un security council. so did you pull soto, board of among the supplied weapons? the u. s. high mars multiple launch? rocket systems are particularly noteworthy and we know for sure and key of in washington have repeatedly indirectly confirmed. this is what that american specialists are involved in. the operation of these installation, the sort of the targeting with the hi morris is conducted with the help of u. s. military satellite servers. while u. s. military personnel on the ground coordinate with the intelligence forces representatives of teeth themselves, have admitted to not a single attack with hi, more system has taken place without the consent to the united states. now, the russian ambassador describe the atrocities being committed against civilians and how the united states claims that the weapons it provides are very accurate and precise. and so if that is the case, our all these civilians being killed, if the act weapons are, is accurate and precise as united states claims they are,

it would seem that the number of civilians killed in gun ask and lance can other places, eyes, perhaps intentional. he went on to say that rushes carefully documenting the war crimes that are being committed and says that such crimes do have legal consequences. furthermore, he went on to describe what was a point that was raised throughout the meeting, which is the danger of his weapons that the united states is supplying to the criminal government in care of possibly flowing into the hands of criminal organizations, terrorists and other groups that could be a security concern and could pose a danger, not just to russia and ukraine, but to many countries throughout europe. again, the major difficult topic is a weapon sent to ukraine or being smuggled around the world. we have already warned about the risks of weapons falling into the hands of terrorists and other criminal groups. this is not speculation. the warning concern expressed by european states themselves. the problem of theft of weapons from ukrainian military warehouses

appeared a long time ago. the situation has already got out of control weapons intended for our surfacing on the black market. not only in europe, but also in the middle east and africa. now, when the representative of the united states spoke before the un security council, he responded as is typical. when u. s. leaders respond to russia, he simply dismissed everything that russia, that despite all the evidence and the careful documentation, dismiss all is just this information. and it's also important to note that russia brought forward experts to speak before the un security council. some of those experts were able to speak, but others were blocked and prevented. russia wanted to bring forward a number of experts to testify before the 15 member body that leads the united nation about the dangerous flow of weapons and how, you know, the us, they unloading all these weapons and the key of how it could have global security

implications. that could threaten many countries, not just russia and ukraine. so that was the meeting that took place in the un security council chamber. well, it's another case of open mouth insert foot for the use pop diplomat. after insulting africans who have expressed support for russia. joseph barrow said that they don't know, quote where don bass is, or even who is vladimir putin. russia is able to, the fled, blame to east reality and define an audience. in some parts of the world. i have seen in the tv screens, these are african young people on the streets. obama go with bill board. same foot dean sang. you have saved the don bus and now you will save us. it's a really shocking. well, you can see that these people don't know where the don buzz is. maybe then don't

even know who is 14, but they are getting more relies on the streets. while these comments by joseph burrell, do not surprise many on the continent. and they explain why africa keeps looking eastwards for corporation as well as development. these come as well as the burrell really and not just racist, which offends many on the continent, but they also come to be expected the kind of cake thought that have led many european countries to come up africa, divide. people support conflict and only really come to africa when they bring the cameras and aid. europe has never really held africa in terms of is development and for what they have taken from the african continent. one would imagine that they would give back mr. burrell and the history of commons really put, paid to what we on the continent was what he thought. we've wondered, what kinds of skills you need to have in order to become a policy chief,

let alone and policy chief. mr. burrell does not have the wherewithal with was placing statement is not only about african, it's, but people of the rest of the world to how is he able to travel the world and still represent europe on a global phase of community that considers itself need us under such commons and much guys as is still a buffle to many of us. the rest of the world must have the rest of the role. it's a jungle. and the jungle could invade the garden. the garden has to go to the jungle. the to be in this has to be much more engage with the rest of the world for that, why the rest of the world will invade us less w l was not the only mind in the house. some sanity prevailed with them to move out, who actually represented was

a new kind of europe should represent. i do think that this arrogant tone and the lack of respect that is heard coming from the european union towards africa is part of the problem leading to africans, perhaps thinking that salivation is going to come from russia. and that is the kind of european mindset that africans would like to at least engage with. and not that i came mentality that we've seen from mr. brown, people in africa, the european for what the. we see them as the divert aid that would have otherwise helped people in africa and the pilot on all in the drug. the one time that have gone to ukraine following the conflict has really opened the eyes of, of the rest of the world with regards to where we are placed in terms of priorities for the european continent. they opened up and boarded, following that conflict. well come ukrainians with open arms while africans get

chased back on the small little binky boats. and they have to make that fade for crossing again to the motherland. greece now where there have been armed clusters outside aroma settlement following up police shooting up a teen in federal law nikki, just a bit earlier this week. the hundreds of protests gathered increases 2nd larger city, according to justice claim. the boy was shot due to antique romance gentlemen, held file socrates during the countries gunshot. them please use a gas to disperse the crowd. the bottom response to the 16 year old sustained injury was fleeing from police off the claims he left the gas station without paying the bill. the policeman who fired is now under house arrest. the protest over the boy shooting, came shortly after the annual anti police brutality protest in athens. over $11000.00 people took to the streets, i should say, which of course,

ended up with the inevitable classes and arrests. the demonstration is held to commemorate the death of a 15 year old, who was shopping killed by police in 2000. and i made an unprecedented visit of china as president of saudi arabia. this week is using ping prayers, collaboration with gulf states. but his words are also backed with sweeping action reveals inc on everything from the military to nuclear research security issues and of course divisions to move away from the dollar in oil trading. his c gts correspondent junction, she chinese president, champagne, and leaders of the arab world have wrapped up what many describe as their highest level of diplomatic exchanges. so far a lot of statement and results came out of their 3 summits and bilateral talks. and while i followed them, i was able to see 3 very consistent themes. firstly, the friendly relations between china,

andi arab world are the result of deep mutual trust. china and arab countries support each other in maintaining sovereignty territorial integrity and the right of self determination. they champion the principle of non interference in internal affairs. i was an advocate for true multilateralism in the multi polar world order . china supports the resolution of international and regional issues under multi lateral platforms like d, u, n, and g 20. and many era countries stand by china on key issues from since young hong kong to taiwan. secondly, or the deep economic ties between china and aero countries, with china's huge energy market and the rich natural resources of the middle east. leaders discussed and hands and collaboration in oil, gas and clean energy, and using the chinese to an to settle energy deals. also, while china has a well rounded industry chain, the middle east has a huge need for infrastructure building and high tech upgrades as it looked to

diversify away from oil. that's why many of the statements from the past few days, often included cooperation agreement on areas such as 5 g, e commerce, audible bill, medical finance, and nuclear energy as well. china and gulf cooperation council countries will establish a forum on the peaceful use of nuclear energy and nuclear technology and set up a nuclear safety center to train talent. the 3rd theme is the strong willingness between china and arab countries to explore a long term friendship. china, as president spoke of his desire to build a shared future in the new era. what started the relationships centered around most the energy has now evolved into not only industrial and investment collaboration, but also many cultural exchanges as well. leaders not about initiatives such as language scores and media collaboration as they strive for an ever evolving friendship in the years to come down to the from c t n 4 r t. we were talking about

earlier in the program with asia. political risk analyst are ross, find gold, a fine goals as the reasons a clear why the 2 countries are seeking to diversify the global partnerships. it's inevitable, it's inevitable that saudi arabia and china would look to expand their relations across different spheres. and why is that? well, frankly, n b s has said, so he said that he wants to diversify the economy, diversify trading partners, day, even if relations with the us were better, there's been some friction between saudi arabia in the united states. recently. i think saudi arabia would still be pursuing this, and obviously for china, they, they've been very active in the middle east for decades. said they've had close relationships with many of the arab countries going back 5060 years long before trying to establish diplomatic relations with israel. but again, i think we should really look at this as 2 countries that are diversified,

their trading partners, energy, obviously being an important component of that shout irradiated, makes other kinds of outbound investments. is party diversifying the economy with the dollars it generates from the oil trade? and china is very active in overseas infrastructure projects. and that's something that saudi arabia is offering an opportunity to do as well. to update you on the story. a patrols from the european union's peace mission and cause of i have arrived at byron cage that have been put up by serbs in a city in the north of the breakaway problems. the protest of trying to prevent a former member of the cause of our police to serve national from being taken to pristine or off that he was arrested earlier today. or if he can ship it at nico job, which as more details. ok, so basically what a form, remember of course the police forces withdrew on the 5th of november as on the same day when the all of the service left police forces was the rest of the day without

any charges. a man basically left corso today. so she'll cross the border earlier this day to go with his wife to do some private. the pairs in the city is 20 miles from the administrative line. so she entered without any, he exited possible without any problems. and later on when he returned was trying to return home. he was arrested without any charges or anything. it was just shank off and put into their their police station that was built a few months ago near the administrative crossings. and as local say, he is a man without any, any spending his career. he wasn't even a part of the war in 999. so he has not to be accused of. and they arrested him as serbs from also in the middle say as an example. so sort of were self organized at the moment and quickly locked on the roads,

potentially not the gap because they don't want him to be within to prison their so as we speak serves are increasing their president. they're protesting, they're going street, their road blocks and they're better with the numbers. it's police forces me through the base. you've been president there for several days already and have been harassing the local serbs with the excuse of securing the ability in those areas. c 6 today's incident as the latest in a series of tensions between serbia on the break away province, which 1st erupt about 5 months ago and did give rise to phase of a military conflict that was off the local cause of on authority's rule. they would no longer recognize serbian license plates on cars. reports from today also mentioned air raid sirens sounding of the cities in the north of casa for

some concerns about anti semitism and france, or emerging again, soft repair of t. v hosts question the jewish guest about the traditional religious copy was wearing a, deeming it inappropriate attire for the broadcast buddha, we did. i want to ask you a question, which is concerning many people in the audience, it's not related to medicine. so many people are wondering why is the professor wearing a religious symbol in our studio of google mental resort? going to that, why i, where it's every day i make the coffee table corresponds what are all transparency me to my where it's every day i didn't do this, especially for your show and when it will corner you understand, believe she'll know that our secular ease is our discretion, this is not against religion, but just want to ship, keep you really general to yourself or don't you understand? hold on. i'm a cohen guy. why would you want me to keep my religion to my so i came from israel,

get them to where or not to where he palm the video, the professor grilled about religious symbol. he as a jew, boots on every morning as divided public opinion on one hand, they were strong negative reaction. disgusting, anti semitism on french t. v. a professor attacked and belittled for wearing jewish symbols. why do you wear a religious symbol in the studio? keep your jewish identity for yourself is this 19 thirties? europe shocking anti semitism on french t. v. where a professor is harassed and shamed by the host for wearing jewish symbols. it's 2022 and this is how jews are treated on national tv in france. no tall if a jew wearing a kip, it makes you uncomfortable. that's your problem. not his problem. report hadn't been homogeneous in this regard. years old to come into the front has a very strong secular tradition that is written in it that you should added to that as 2000 and french law. many people from wearing religious symbols, well,

all of them in state school. so this video debate where old slides do agree is that the professor in the field incredibly uncomfortable and to so many signs of the wider atmosphere front regarding the jewish community. that's all from earlier the theory showed that 85 percent of jews in front believe and to symmetry is widespread. and in fact 78 percent of those who regularly whereas called cap have been verbally physically assaulted ethnic once. it's also interesting that such an uncomfortable to some hostile act take place so publicly on a french tv. after all, when it comes to french policy abroad, told about tolerance, acceptance, and quality. and recent example in renewing much net female are running actively raising their right to where or not where if you job it is woman launch this

revolution. they say stop, i don't want to wear the veil. i don't want the subjugation. i want to emphasize all respect and all admiration in the context of the revolution they leading at home. the ration is different from last year and moving saturday from matt, with bart running in a local election because she was photographed where every se, job for campaign poster and now seems. ron's is also a nation way. tv feels rather comfortable suppressed. a really confused man about personal religious decision and legitimate question, but many now when parents start practicing preaching brief notion of our tea from jerusalem, i could to ivy with us that's get to the latest off from the fif. oh, well cut been cut out where morocco was core something of an upset by knocking out one of the favorites. portugal it means morocco becomes the 1st ever team from

africa to qualify for the semi finals of the tournament. ah, well that video just speaks for itself more often fan just been going wild with the good news. the north north african team scored a single goal at the end of the 1st half. and even the introduction by portugal of superstar christiano ronaldo wasn't enough to have but the ups where you can read more about that on our website r t dot com for the meantime, we are wrapping up a this program from moscow. thank you. as always, so much for sharing a time with us on this saturday here in the russian capital. anything you've missed, you know where to go are to talk with. ah, a
