[000:00:00;00] hello, most protective phone existence with ah, with the economy, despite the predict the collapse, devastation and catastrophe. nothing of the kind has happened here. and who says the west has failed in his efforts approval, his country's economy. and he uses working generally speaking, to divide those 2 countries and fit them against moscow. a massive blazing roadside made in get storage facility, the northern nation of

a series of exclusion. the us denies of violating international law for the world trade organization rules in favor of hong kong and a commercial dispute between washington and the chinese reagan. a wherever you are the world, welcome to international. it's just 19 am here in the russian capital and it's great to have you with. i'd have mommy. let's take a look at today's top stores. most there has responded to a western imposed price cap for natural gas supplies by saying it was set its own value for the commodity to be sold at russian leader vitamin. but it says he has always warned the e u of the possible consequences of meddlesome policies this, in general, you know, sometimes our colleagues and partners surprise me with their unprofessional

decision. soon after all, at one time it was the european commission that imposed on us the transition to so called market pricing for gas. and we persuaded them, i personally did this, we persuaded them in brussels, not to do this. they said that the gas market does not work this way. they will, it will lead to serious consequences to search and prices that this happened right now. and possibly now they don't know how to get out of this position, the bush and are trying to regulate gas prices as well. we'll moscow either. he is though you are assigned that countries western allies of attempting to artificially manipulate the international market. new russian legislation freeze the same gas ex, 4th, a gas from, from fulfilling obligations under foreign contracts. if they violate national guidelines. the specifics of the russian price designation are to be determined by the end of next week. was it also adds some harsh criticism for the

u. s, which he said has long been trying to undermine the pers, soviet world, including by exerting influence over ukraine earlier. my colleagues, rory, sushi, and don quarter discussed fulton's rather star assessment with wishes gazillion morris. can we now say that the u. s. is directly involved in the conflict? the u. s. has been dealing with this for a long time. it's been involved and trying to undermine has an influence ukraine since soviet times our opponent civil was trying to divide us and then tried to manage the separate ponce. nothing new there. the idea of ukrainian separatism was born a long time ago, while the russian president of course, spoke a lot about how the a west was trying to stoke the flames of nationalism and ukraine long before the soviet union even collapsed. but the russian president also spoke a lot about the russian economy. of course, he said that it's fair to a lot better than many people in the west had predicted back in march in february of this year,

despite predictions that russian g d. p would fall by double digits. it's only actually fallen by 2.5 percent. and on top of that, indicators connected to unemployment and inflation have been kept very low as well . took us economy capacity economy despite the predicted claps, devastation and catastrophe. nothing of the kind has happened here. moreover, roaches indicate as much better than many g, 20 countries. this applies to the main macroeconomic indicators like g d p. yes, there is a slight drop. i said earlier that the drop is 2.9 percent according to international experts, but it's now less 2.5 percent. one of the main indicators around the world is the unemployment rate, as it is at a lower level than pre pandemic. but then it was 4.7 percent. now it is 3.8 percent . our labor market is stable, our financial market is stable. i thought the one of the interesting thing said, don, during this press conference was one of the, one of the questions from

a member of the press. what was he asked? is russia running out of miss styles in the conflict in ukraine, but also are certain western partners on ukraine who are fighting russia there? are they running out of weapons as well? a, quite a lot was said about russia's defense industry, wasn't it? right? and it was also discussed alongside one question that another journalist asked regarding the possibility of the us supplying the key regime with patriot missile systems. this is something that a lot of putin said, okay, let the west do that. because the patriot missile systems already outdated and it would take such a long amount of time for american troops or whoever to train ukrainian troops on how to use that. but in terms of the weapons stockpiles like you were talking about before vladimir putin said, there is a huge difference between the ukrainian defense industry and the russian one. because while cubes soviet basically mainly soviets, weapons stockpiles, they're actually already on the brink of running out while moscow has plans to

actually increase its own stockpiles in the near future. we just know suitable in january, russia will have a new frigates in combat service with new weapon systems. we are not being provocative, but this will strengthen our strategic forces. despite these being medium rain systems that speed characteristics give as a new advantage. as for the patriot systems, they are old and do not work in the same way as our s 3 hundreds. but nevertheless, those who opposes consider the patriots as defensive weapons. well, okay, we'll just keep it in mind. and there will always be an antidote. those who do this, i just prolonging the conflict. our goal is not to prolong the military conflict, but on the contrary to end this war, we strive for this and will continue to strive for this year and you can fix that issue. now that was another very important moment we just heard there putin emphasizing once again that russia wants to see an end to this war. this is

something we've heard reiterated by russian officials for a long time. now they say that the west is to blame for this conflict being drawn out because it's given a blank check when it comes to weapons and munitions to the key of regime. putin also said that this policy basically directly directly contradicts what the russian government wants for both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution. as you just heard russia g, d p declined this year, only a fraction of what had been predicted due to the increase worse and sanctions. we spoke with independent journalist lou groovy, his says the e economy has suffered more form is own sanctions than that of russia. that's what we were told by the germans, by the french, by our leaders in the west, at our sanctions when necessary to bring car a russia to which is nice but we are on arnie's own energy wise. it is the situation mist. annabelle, we had mine a stand last week for us. it's

a terrible winter. i mean he rushes on the same minus than is quite frequent. but here people start to realize that we had a huge problem of energy. no fuel, no gas, no, no one, no, no solutions for, for oil are within month on, in long term solutions, not before years from now. our economy in tatters everywhere. i mean factories closing the cost of life is increasing. we have for 10 percent, 12 percent inflation. we can't get energy. this is terrible and they don't have an answer on so our economy encounters and rushes seems to do well. we're at a major gas storage for 13 emerald curs. atlantic coast has burst into flames amid a series of explosions. so far,

no casualties have been reported. ah, 5 is a said to have contained the blaze media report for the gas the could have been responsible . have also been concerns about other probable materials being kept at the facility local jealous sorrow at the lab center. this report from morocco. we all know, damn ham mindy. i get storage facility goes up in flames today. and there is a lot of footage and couldn't shared online shows a huge flames. and a guess porridge is in the city near the court where you guys and other flammable materials are stored data storage. it's close to people and even families and citizens floating leave in near the facility have evacuated. the surrounding people are hearing the explosion so far as far away about 10 kilometers. so it's very terrifying in it's mary,

it's very dangerous to old trade elimination. that has a rule that the u. s. violated international law by labeling inputs, specifically from hong kong, as being only generally from china, beijing, welcome. the rule didn't said the us was bonuses lies in trade issues. washington in its turn, has rejected that decision says that building to you is in desperate need of reform hypocrisy at its finest artes k bullpen. as the details. boy, you're saying is a longstanding pattern of the united states flouting international norms and agreements, all well condemning others and pounding the podium about a rules based global order. it's not just the hong kong labeling disagreement last week. the world trade organization found that the steel and aluminum tariffs passed by the united states were also in violation. the united states shot back that they

strongly disagreed with how the treaty was being interpreted. the united states strongly rejects to float interpretation and conclusions in the world trade organization paddle reports. these doubled sale panel reports only reinforced the need to fundamentally reformed the w till this been settled on was system. the bite and administration is committed to preserving you, especially security, by insuring the long term viability of our steel and aluminium industries. and we do not intend to remove the section $232.00 duties as a result of these disputes. so even though it's a longstanding agreement, u. s. officials just say that it needs reform. they go right along with what they're doing, saying they have no intentions of adjusting their policy. whenever you don't like the results, just declare that the system is rigged against you and continued doing what you want to do was recall the reaction of u. s. officials when they did not like the world health organizations findings in

an investigation of woo hon labs. here's how they respond it across the board. the united states believes as a general matter, when we're at the table, we can help shape events. and when we're not in the w h o, we don't have any influence that it is functioning the way it's intended to function by re engaging with the w h o. the united states will be in a position to push any necessary and needed reforms. and to be clear, there are necessary and needed reforms, according to logic of u. s. officials, a system functions the way it's intended to when the united states gets what it wants and when it doesn't, it clearly needs reform and until then it can be disregarded. it doesn't get any more blatant than the international criminal court, long time war hawk john bolton, who served in the administrations of both donald trump and george w bush was very angry and outraged at the i. c. c was investigating the actions of the u. s. troops in afghanistan, he said the i c,

c has got to go. we will not cooperate with the i c. c. we will provide no assistance to the i c, c. and we certainly will not join the i c, c. we will let the i see, see, die on its own. after all, for all intents and purposes, the i, c, c is already dead. the us, we will ban it's judges and prosecutors from entering the united states. we will sanction their funds in the u. s. financial system and we will prosecute them in the us criminal system. the president will not allow american citizens to be prosecuted by foreign bureaucrats. and he will not allow other nations to dictate our means of self defense. but now, after withdrawing from the i, c. c and going all in against it, getting it was sanctions. the united states now suddenly loves the i c. c, because it's talking about targeting russia. the i c. c is good if it's targeting somebody we don't like, but if it dares touch us,

it's got to be abolished. the hypocrisy is pretty hard to over look. so when you asked officials talk about a rules based global order, they mean rules for the but not for me or do as we say, but not as we do. it's not about principles are right and wrong, but about making sure that certain entities remain at the top of the food chain. it is dig itself into a corner and we see that country is increasingly isolated on the international stage. more and more countries are citing with russia with china, the says overstepped its bounds, but the u. s. simply does not recognize any bones. it does what it wants when it wants to suit its own interests. and we have to be very clear here. when we speak about it's interest, meaning the government's interests or the interest of major corporations, that the u. s. government almost never acts for the benefit of its own citizens. again, i'm speaking to someone who is representative. i've represented americans abroad. we've had trouble living abroad. living in nato countries,

even in the u. s. government would never even help them. the fact is that the you in its allies are increasingly isolated. the world has woken up and they're sick of being bullied or sick. the scams are sick of allies and we're go, we're now going to reap a bitter harvest of all the horrible things you've done or the past 25 years. what was african? now rwanda has re iterate. it is adamant denial of allegations it's been supporting the m $23.00 insurgent group, which is fighting against national forces just over the border. the democratic republic of congo, accusing rolanda of support to the congolese armed group. m 23 is wrong and distract from the real cause of continued conflict in eastern d. r. c. it is a mistake to conflate the measures that rwanda has put in place to guard its borders with support for any particular arm group in d r. c. it's hard to offer one descriptor,

they have consistently fed that they are not to be blamed for the am $23.00 rebels and be dissociated themselves from them and deny any accusations of their finding. but of course, this was also further exacerbated by the fact that france has come out to openly accuse rwanda for what it says is wonders role with the ongoing patients in north kiva. we are witnessing the return of a tragic situation in the east of the d. r. c, it is unbearable and unacceptable. there are responsibilities and france has no difficulty in pointing them out. m 23 must stop fighting, disengage, and return the occupied territories. rwanda, as it must be named, must stop supporting m $23.00. we must put an end to the repetition of history in this region. this comes on the back of, of rwanda accusations towards france. thing that they had a hand in the main thing maintained for genocide,

particularly i choosing the french troops with patients in the one day 1994 of participating in some of the human rights atrocities than we saw during the genocide and facilitating a safe passage in a safe haven for some of the people who are responsible according to their london government. for if we're starting that genocide than we saw in 1994. and on the return of that is that france is also accusing rwanda or openly for the 1st time. at least this follows the american accusation of the theme thing that the gully government is to be blamed for you. support for the un sanctioned m 23 levels. but the relations here are bound to get testy, i as time goes, because right now this will not be helping as accusations and count accusations cheap,

flying and more european nations are more likely to be implicated in this regard. but france did inquire into the role laid by its troops in rwanda during the genocide, but they abandoned their dom. that inquiry saying that they found no evidence that its troops have participated in any human rights violations. ross is building ties. india has stood resolute. this western pressure, again, trade will russia of business for him to strengthen e clone ties into those 2 countries with recently held in moscow, the new multiple world order high on the agenda ortiz. so, fin nunez, has the details. the i m f announced in september that india had become the world's 5th largest economy, speeding up from 11th place in just a decade, and judging by the congress current policies, it has no intention of slowing down. india's growth potential has not gone

unnoticed with other global international players such as russia, eager to join it. did you get your premium? india is one of the world's leading countries in terms of economic growth. its population will soon be bigger than that of any country. new delhi has vast diplomatic experience in settling various kinds of problems, and it has authority and a strong reputation in its region. in the wake of the ukraine conflict, india rejected the western notion that trading with russia somehow immoral new daily has insisted that it would chop whatever it gets a good deal for its people. following through on that pledge, india has increased its imports of discount at rush and crude oil becoming it stopped by for the 2nd month in a row in december. and now new dell is decision to embrace the concept of self determination is reaping the benefits in dis, inflation. has he, the year low? well profits from fuel experts keep getting higher. but the mutual beneficial relations between russian india don't stop with oil, russian and indian business,

political and public sector leaders have gathered at the 13 russian indian business forum in moscow this week. the theme of this year's meeting reads as an integral partnership between india and russia in the new world order with a focus on health care information technology, linguistic banking, and the oil and gas industry, as well as other national projects. we are taking oil gays, coal fertilizers, right. but india has got a lot of products, and best products are very expensive. it did come in on the, during the cold wade, and after this go with the transported and become very expensive. so indian product had natalie's physically ready when the expensive to the, the right time. once it happens, it this room starts no whole ania yoga, you know, i away that would have been the russian market lately. the indians, vices, iowa,

includes so many things who thought coming once the good is cheaper transportation participants also discussed further economic cooperation between the 2 countries. as well as what can be done legislatively to create a more favourable business climate can also leave a voice to russian financial authorities and making great efforts not only to do price quotes for the repair as soon as possible, but also to make it a full fledged trading parties until the moscow exchange more tristan, this would reflect its demand among russian import is the next porters saw. i think this is one of the most important elements to accelerate our mutual settlements in national currencies. negotiations are actively underway to accelerate the development of the logistics route between vladivostok and janai and other ports of india, which would also contribute to a significant increase in cargo flows from russia to india lenient. the bank was organized by the indian business allies with the support of the moscow department of foreign economic and international relations. the business council for corporation with india,

and there was congress foundation. the ration in business forum has become an important platform for highlighting issues and opportunities related to business size between russia in india and for ensuring the continuation of the progress and development of both nations. the korean envoy to the you are and has said his country will always stand together with us as he put up a social media post with a picture of an american flag in the yellow blue, the crane national banner, don bass rosen. so quick to respond with condemnation sailors flay revealed who really is in charge in cave, and he wouldn't slay through misty, they will stand together for as long as it takes. we all understand that a charade. what ukraine wants from the west is money and weapons. this is all just ridiculous. normally because american already sanders will go on for as long as it

needs and who needs it. it is america itself. he will continue this for very long time as long as they can benefit from it, diabetes, and this is pure idiocy in my opinion. this demonstrates complete slavery. no other comment is needed. he glanced further. the last he recently visited washington where he met with you are seated. joe biden gave an address in congress, which he pleaded for more weaponry, express gratitude to the you. as for the current supplies that said they weren't enough. the earth has meanwhile agreed to provide advance patriot missile systems to ukraine. meanwhile, max blumenthal editor of the gravestone investigative news side has posted on twitter. his its changes with delegates representing the queen bias for as they made their way to congress. as 45000000000, not enough. not enough yet. how much? how much more should we give to ukraine instead of our own people?

do you, do you do support the as of italian? when you're more of an adult and there's no more as a values where, where train and recruited that into a former professional army over the last 8 years. so the neo nazis were brought into the army. no, no, we are not seaford army. so no answer about crane is a democracy. why did zalinski ban 13 opposition? partnership law? we've been helping us know martial law sounds undemocratic. why did he band the russian wing of the orthodox church? russian center wanted extra to serving as the keys in his organization. and with found, with materials that were legal and financing the enemy war against innocent people . i oppose the assault on don. yes. do you the shelling of the people have done? yes. do you oppose that? no, no. are you wired? wired civilians been killed and done yet? lugens and you oppose that there was

a small anti war protests on east capitol right at the front of the capitol. and as i was standing there, i ukrainian diaspora delegations just rolled up, started taking pictures, and i began questioning them and you saw the exchange right there. i think it was very revealing. and these are actually significant figures not only in the diaspora, but within the ukrainian government itself. i didn't know they were coming. i didn't know who was coming. i just showed up in the capital was actually hoping to be the one reporter who actually asked critical questions of our representatives here in the u. s. on why they were going to authorize another $45000000000.00 to continue this dangerous proxy war throughout 2023. and what i found was a completely locked down capital. looked like the days after january 6th, except the fences were lower. there were no members of congress, although did catch a last senator joe mansion who basically refused to speak to me. senator, do you know how much we, how many billions we've sent to ukraine, who has a lot more? do you want to send more?

oh, absolutely. amazon, all in all of your all india, as you are. so my cousin, booths, policies approve sending more money and weapons ukraine. ms. of americans are risk to news in them. medical coverage. a recent report addresses a provision and the new 1.7 trillion us. those funding bill saying states could stock terminating people's medicaid coverage next year. maybe allison lionel's, as is unfair to make american citizens suffer from the government's decisions, to support other countries. we're looking right now in the united states, at a $1.00. think about this trillion dollar omnibus bill. american citizens are say, 1.7, troy trillion for what we're wondering, where are we going to pay for our operation? what get, what is our goal? are you suggesting?

does this intimate, that we are involved in a war that we are a participant in this, that, that we are a cold combatant? does? is that what this means? because if it does mean that i don't think a lot of americans were particularly care for that. we never signed on to this. we're getting to the point right now where people don't really understand it. and frankly, maybe common sense may prevail because the one issue that nobody is talking about is peace, ending it, the cessation of hostility, that's it. it is somehow absent and void from the, from the rubric of conversation. maybe i hope we're getting to that point where we say enough fear sentence has fall. so motion to use office sees from wealthy rather than old will to finance ukraine's war efforts. this is in lawmaker said, it would be

a relief for american taxpayers. this amendment would allow the department of justice to the secretary of state to transfer proceeds from seized oligarch assets or other sanction entities to the people of ukraine. it will be a godsend to the long suffering people of the ukraine, ill bear relief to the american taxpayer cost billions of dollars are subject to being seized and transferred. it will be a bad day for all regards. the sun, it's moon came just a day after the u. s. pro analysis of fresh $1850000000.00 military aid package to heave amid prisons announced his visit to washington. the bill is yet to be approved by the house of representatives before it would be signed into law by joe biden. to little commentators, steve gill, says, washington's asset says is from so called russian oligarchy will do close to nothing. to alleviate the u. s. financial burden for support for give it is

certainly a moral and it is just definite, the wrong to think that we're going to somehow read a american taxpayers with money stolen from private individuals who are simply business people died the rush. the crazy thing about this is that the mark twain, american humorous ones that the difference in the right word and the almost right for the difference in whitening mit. but it's interesting that they're using the term russian all regards to it, to refer to these russian private business individuals. because if they call them private business people, then some americans might be a little bit more outraged the same way. just lindsey graham and others would be leading the screams and hows about rates if russia and china and india and other foreign country were taking private us business assets from individuals. because those countries disagree, but the practices and policies of the u. s. government and i don't know what we're going to get in terms of our return on investment. as the president,

lindsey he tries to term it for the 100000000 or so to be put into the ukraine. there will be no return on investment for american taxpayers. it will not be repaid . well last, so for me to like, cross silk is up next unit. o'neill will be here. the studio, the top of the hour. i'm run home. i'll be with you all a 1st class, right in blue. a blue is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being
