provoking a larger scale conflict in the region. and america, last policies. that's how one sentences labeled washington's decision to send ukrainian soldiers to oklahoma port and patriot missile system training with a very warm welcome to you from the russian capital this saturday afternoon. my name is peter scott and welcome to the program. wherever you are joining us from we start off with the latest news on the conflicts in ukraine, according to the mayor of kiev critical infrastructure has been hit by strikes in the countries capital. ukrainian media sources have also reported explosions in carter cove leaving parts of the city without power moscow's yet comments on those strikes. and on saturday, russian defences in the ukrainian soviets or a ballistic missile in the bronze region near its border. according to the cities,

are they arrived here short shores in temporary richey, he said they're now the stories they've sold me are absolutely horrifying for wasn't your money, but it grew while the ukrainian armed forces used as a human shields. life was unbearable because we haven't left our basements at all since last winter. ukrainian fighters settled next to his deck, trenches in front of residential buildings, constantly asked questions about why we stayed at old us. so you're waiting. you're sending gardeners to the russians. luke lads, if there's any shelling today where they leave, for example, we'll just throw a grenade at you because it will mean you gave us away. oh, just that it was very scary. the ukrainian forces were shooting constantly. our house alone was shout 7 times and it was completely destroyed when we left, but it was already bending down. this is my husband. he was shot by ukrainian fly to right now. house for no reason. my husband shouted that he was a civilian,

asked them, what are you doing? and the grin in fight to just run and without providing any help to me, i can understand why they treat us like, i really don't know. they couldn't leave the basement for a month and a half. they just kept shooting at us. it was terrifying. was to refugees arrive at these temporary sensors. there are getting a fed that they receive the necessary clothing and then afterwards they're taken to the local police station where a local officials are making sure that there aren't any ukrainian military among these refugees. following that procedure, they're all taken to other refugee centers. and as i understand, the majority of these people have expressed wishes to join their relatives in russia, from on call for a marty done after public or rushes reiterated his push for a peaceful solution to the war in ukraine, but has warned that he's prepared to continue his military operation, unless

a care of on his western backers agreed to negotiate on moscow's terms, not comes from the countries and void the un speaking of the latest security council meeting with more details, his artes kennimore. ben. well, at the un security council hour, we heard different members of the un security council speak regarding the situation in ukraine. now we specifically heard 1st from the united states, they were the 1st prominent member of the un security council to speak. and when they spoke, they did what they've been doing for the past several years, unloaded a huge amount of unproven allegations against russia using russia all kinds of crimes. and then from there, they proceeded to call out iran and the democratic people's republic of korea for allegedly helping russia in ukraine. and from there we heard from other members of the un security council. now in china took to the floor of the security council. they pointed out that the ongoing situation where the western countries continue to

poor loads of weapons into kiev and prolong the conflict is leading to a security crisis throughout the region. will ensure some view to escalate in sanctions or providing weapons full only make it difficult to turn the situation around and even to provoke large scale confrontation thus exhaustive aiden and prolong. in the conflict which must be avoided at all costs. we also later heard from the russian ambassador danza took to the floor and he took the moments on the opportunity. you really just gotta lay out the rackets asian out of what's being said there. you pointed out that in reality, wow, this is a conflict that's been going on for 8 years for 8 years, the shelling of civilians in don boss was taking place. i now know that the minsk agreement was not taken seriously by the western countries. it was simply seen as a, a way of buying time and highly weapons into ukraine to prepare for provoking a of wider conflict on the russian ambassador took to the floor and simply called

out what he was hearing lenses as to the hon. great to was the meetings on ukraine convened by our former western partners are more like a hypocrisy fair. moreover, the hypocrisy of representatives of the collective west and the key of regime takes on bizarre forms here. for example, our ukranian neighbors, who recently were almost talking about preparing to attack moscow are now running around with the idea of a peace summit. it is clear that this is primarily an attempt to please the western public. we're asking increasingly uncomfortable questions about where all the money allocated to key of is going. then he pointed out that these, these calls for some kind of peace summit brown the ukrainians, are not, not legitimate. they're not honest, they're not serious. they're not putting forward a serious proposal, could actually lead to an agreement and the conflict. they are simply, they are simply doing this theatrically, to answer

a number of questions and responding to the growing amount of public disgust with the conflict happening. not just in the united states and other western countries. now it's important to note that the russian ambassador, good mansion, next un security council meeting is scheduled for tuesday of the following week or next tuesday. there will be a meeting i, russia will be raising some very important issues. they're trying to point out many aspects of the ongoing conflict that western media and mainstream media has just chosen to obscure and ignore of all russia pushes for negotiations. a state senator says the u. s. government is putting america last. that's where these plans to train ukrainian soldiers to use the patriot missile defense system in oklahoma. the official claim to the training pose the risk sight, he lost his incidents of ukrainian miss our landing in poland, which killed 2 people. the pentagon is planning on sending ukrainian troops to oklahoma to train on u. s. missile systems. the last thing we need is the misfiring

a missile into oklahoma, killing our citizens, like they did to the innocent polish lives that were lost, so that the nathan dom has filed a resolution that would block a federal officials from sending foreign troops to oklahoma and coach and local authorities to do the same. the politician also without us washington's continuing funding of care of stressing oklahoma should not continue to allow unaccountable spending corruption on potential money laundering resolution echoes similar sentiments already expressed by some republicans. several members of the us congress have called for an audit of u. s. government funds allocated for a to ukraine in november, a newly alexa speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy, reportedly ledge to limit a future a to ukraine to secure a majority of votes in his 15th attempt and national attorney climb. preston says that the conflicts in ukraine is none of the us. his business. we have no business being involved to this degree, or at all frankly, in,

in ukraine and the cost to americans, that civilians and american citizens could be great. particularly if this conflict becomes a hot conflict between on russia in the united states, you know, maybe sen dobbs resolution would have gotten more support to you just put in the resolution that oklahoma refuses to support nazis. ah, you know this regime, these are battalion people the right sector and all the ban dera, ah, hold overs that are in ukraine to day. you know. ironically our support for them is, is really of a disgrace. let's face ukraine is most corrupt regime in europe today, and it has been for long. there's no democracy there and they're looking for anyway because they're desperate to my view is very dangerous to have them on us soil

training on in oklahoma. and i think senator nathan dom was correct in his very bold resolution that he proposed over to europe. now where to live for minister antonio to johnny has announced his country is ready to send a new batch of miniature 2 kev. now, despite the economic crisis currently gripping the country or the country grapples with rising inflation and poverty, the italian governments is committed to continuing its funding of care if having donated in estimates at 1300000000 euros in medicaid. as well as other assistance measures on refugee support, making the 12th largest you donate to ukraine or since the beginning of the war in ukraine, italy's grappled with rising inflation amid yona price rises by 8 point one percent . with energy costs. the biggest contributing factor reports by the national institutes of statistics indicated that this is the highest annual inflation rate. it is experienced in 35 years. it was isn't with the vote. what does happen in an

italy's shameful? every one must know that the government has taken away subsidies for the poor and supplying ukraine with weapons for conflict that we italians are not interested in it. georgia, milan is government must be ashamed to coordinate is doing to poor people. and not a lot of us will do. i find it absurd was easily during, together with europe fuel in a conflict by giving to weapons to ukraine. they are given him i to a country that he's not even in the european union, and we, the poor and the unemployed are suffering and starving. these all the so yeah, i know what they're doing is inhumane. we poor people are abandoned in politicians, are thinking about buying weapons for ukraine. here in italy, we're dying of poverty. we have no work, i am unemployed. in a while, i will no longer has a home and i don't really know what to do. the deception that's also be as foreign minister has described the agreements between bell grade on the self proclaimed

republic of kosovo to normalize relations will also drawing parallels to the failed minsky colds between russia and ukraine. me nice. we were not enthusiastic about the brussels agreement. they weren't act of goodwill from belgrade. and after all that, we find ourselves in a deceptive situation as the minsk agreements between ukraine and russia were broken by the almost 10 years ago. the brussels agreement aim to normalize relations between belgrade and costs of the great have criticize the repeatedly question whether these agreements austin effects. similarly, the minister colds, which were mediated by germany, aim to resolve tensions between moscow and kia after the 2014 crisis. but as the former german chancellor admitted, they were actually designed to give key of time to get stronger. to 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you a crane time ukraine. yes, this time to become stronger as you can see today. the ukraine of 20142015 is not

the ukraine of to day. so be as concerns over the brussels agreements have risen amid escalations of the conflict with christina. the countries ban on serbian lights in place led to the resignation of 600 serbian policemen. back in november, that in december and of the wave of process followed the rest of the serbian policemen under the suspicion of terrorism. and most recently, to of su, serbians won a child was shot on the eve of orthodox christmas by so called albanian extremist, according to stephen gauge, professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade they use role as a mediator failed to implement both of brussels and minsk agreements, i think that similarities are obvious, not only that the, the time was similar, but also that the e u was mediating both and that it failed to implement for both every time behaving as an advocate of one side. which really discredits the e. u. as

a whole the countries and other populations i really got tired of the process of joining the you. so they can't really threat serbia, especially up serbian population with anything. that is why i think that the serbian minister of foreign affairs, i have got the courage to say these things, and he won't get any kind of backlash from, from the site. because now because majority of serves are really wants the brussels agreements to be cancelled. what do you make of this statement by the serbian foreign minister? what do you think he means by call them a deception. it was obvious to me from the beginning that these brussels agreements are only going to harm interests, not only of serving counsel and the thought here, but also of serbia as a state. because serbia was giving one after the other. this, the states, i say, i powers to the least in our government to which we called entering institutions. because we are not recognizing it as a state obviously. and the only, it's

a concession that they have given to, together with the, you know, with the, you was this community services municipalities which was not implemented. and if they have continued with that, with that bar, this would be a, a slow process of recognition by serbia. but now i think that train as fast as serbia will never recognize the succession because the international circumstances have changed significantly. russia, china economic corporation reached record highs the last year with many believing that this trend is said to continue in. paul's to and from russia, reached nearly $200000000000.00 in 2022, which now accounts for 3 percent of china's social trade volume. last year, thus, as moscow has more than double the export of liquefied petroleum gas to beijing and increased oil exports by 10 percent in the same period. what is by western pressure?

the relations between the 2 countries thrives in late december president, she met with president putin, with both sides, agreeing to continue pushing for bilateral corporation in many spheres. and as china has now reopened its borders, reports indicates an increase in cargo flow. for we joined to live now by the way, wiring director of the center for european studies at the redmond university of china. thank you very much for joining us today. ye way. now, according to the latest numbers, the corporation and economic trade between russia and china is on the rise. what do you think is behind this increase means mutual benefits. ready are very new for need or post russia and time to get very uncertain. resting. so got a letter international china,

which is what factory. now the u. s. want to investor india for the pay center, iowa, china, and comprehensive category. so the national industrial systems, according to u. n. y, a last resort of the country and rational also have a technology and cation system. so china, lots of populations from this operation of a matrix and also china and has been the neighbor. so then the economy and all the transition from both the energy corporation, the huge change where you just said, you mentioned potential that you expect the volume of trade and bilateral ties in

general to increase and to get closer over the next year or 2. looks china, so no one to find enough or more than 100 to city. the chinese neighbor depends on the see 100 in 100000000000. so compared to that, there are russia trade. we've china still maybe half south korea spaces. the reason i think of any revolve nice more close to the rest of the market. so if i know, i think those gotcha and china. ready more ice on java, so not just as long as you refuse or us market. and it's also russia stuckey the mutual trust stable with us for the non change and study the economy.

but usually when, when, when the crash i want to explore on the easter arrows, lots of potential to have a special meeting on this kind of center. and so i think that we are very optimistic about the potential for china and russia on ration nova, see the west and the say they've applied a certain amounts of maybe diplomatic pressure on china to condemn russia over the war in ukraine. but china so far resisted dots. how do you think these close ties and this close trade links between the 2 countries? i'll do you think the understood in the west, what do you think the west nearest the thinks of these close ties and will they try to undermine them? maybe you see your crescent class man. i would listen to. gotcha. and also before we thought that the market is pretty supposed to protect the property of the highways and

popping but now the property and the russians, and also pick off from so sweet to sisters. so china and russia, well, i think we will see more the american dollar allies financial corporation take all these things. ready to do for china and russia to was, there was the american that money. i can order. well, we'll have to wait and see what 2023 brings for russia. see no relations. you are wearing director at the center for europeans to these are the revenue in university of china. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on your time with us today and moving on. now the us will continue to modernize its military alliance with japan. that statements came from president biden during

a meeting with his chinese counterparts. the japanese prime minister, sorry, visited washington in the last stop of his g 7 tospeaking to strengthen the alliance submit a legit challenges post by china, north korea and russia. mutual concerns between the 2 countries prompted biden to support tokyo's decision to increase defense spending approved by japan, new security strategy. so critics say this goes against the japanese constitution earlier, both the u. s. defense that could see on the 60 states said that washington is ready to commit to the full defense of japan by any means. and that includes nuclear weapons. and i want to reaffirm the united states iron quiet commitment to defend japan with the full range of capabilities including nuclear and underscore that article 5 of the mutual security treaty applies to the st cock who islands. it is hard to overstate the importance of the u. s japan alliance

for more than 7 decades. it's been the cornerstone a piece of stability and you know, pacific ensuring the security, the liberty of the prosperity of our people and people across the region. u. s. secretary of state's claims his country has been a force for peace in the region seemly. forgetting washington's use all the tommy bombs on the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. at the end of the 2nd world war, which killed hundreds of thousands, washington failed to apologize for the atrocity committed at nearly 80 years ago. when. earlier we spoke to the vice president of the sense of china and globalization, vic, to gow, who says that we are in japan poses a danger to countries in the region, particularly when the talk is of nuclear weapons. it will be completely wrong for the united states to try to re lease the potential aggressive things of japan, which will be a curse to many countries in the asian pacific region. i would urge secretary

law in austin to be very cautious when he uses any words involving a nuclear weapons. it is absolutely wrong for a big country like the united states. talk about nuclear weapons, all using nuclear weapons against any country in the world. mankind does not need to have another nuclear. the united states used a nuclear bombs to bomb hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945. and they have lots of contamination about the u. s. decision to use nuclear weapons was the very end of the 2nd world war india is growing. economy has resulted in growing imports, particularly from china, with trade between the countries reaching all time highs in 2022 and surpassing 100 . $55000000000.00. and that's an 8.4 percent increase on the previous year. the i spoke to the indian businessman, who shared his insights on the boost i think go,

china is being able to make do with right. so a challenge is reach on north availability. the rest of the what number to the one you love requirements which i've done pull up. the weather is medical equipment, but it is interesting. i think one of the country is yet able to provide the necessary ingredients that we need for office 3. the requirements in done to find needs of our country's growing. we're growing the g d r 6 percent and a large amount of is of a number to other countries. ringback in the world are not able to meet with the supplies euro on the countries of the was which on even germany, which was supplying many products as being unable to meet those products. at the price point, chinese no green tree oversee new delhi important, you know, even more goods from china last year. not only one out and some say that this is

a positive indicator of the indian economy. that it can afford to import these goods from china. but they're, all this, they're concerned about. india is dependence on china for some key goods. when you stunned on that issue, india wants to reduce is dependent on a lot. so items are now being supported. whole manufactory by the central government. and a lot of incentives have been under the p allies key in india for more manufacturing to do, we've done what did stick dying before we can set up these manufacturing units and be able to compete with china, china now? well, various reasons are continue to have to be in position because the rest of the was not able to make the supplies to the extent that you desire to buy from other countries of the what india is also exports to china. when it's more,

i think i've got agriculture products or even those chemicals that really did petroleum products. so all these items are growing. but going to china. but the, the trade on the export side to china has rebates, stagnant, less than under $1000000000.00. and i do believe that the exports will rise this year. my name's peter scott's, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour. the latest news views, analysis righty on archie, thanks for watching. ah ah ah

ah ah. ah .

i'm ashan or nancy, and welcome back to going underground, nay. donations are in crisis. that is clear, an era of 20th century globalism, guided by powerful corporations and institutions like nature, the i m f, the w t o n blocks like the u is accompanied one catastrophe. after another, and so today we see the threat of armageddon from climate change disease and perhaps a war in europe to really end all wars. this while a miniscule global elite gets richer and richer, the new book argues that crises can lead to salvation by so called public private partnerships in bremo, president of eurasia groups, the power of crisis had 3 threats, and our response will change the world joins me now from new york city, thank you so much. and from about coming on, i better off before i even get into the book. what the reaction is because the world is arguably in a more imminent crisis than when you are perhaps writing the book. and given that

you're saying crisis can harold the salvation? who's been reading this? oh, look, i had some quite well and i, i wonder, you know, i consider myself an a b person. but most of my books have been a little depressing. because the world has been geopolitically, at least heading in a much more challenging direction. this is a more hopeful book. and i think in port a strong reaction has been in part because policy makers are looking for that, especially as the grappling with different crises. we've seen that from the un secretary general, we saw that just the other day, i saw that president, the war bank said this was his favorite book from 2022. that was, that was that certainly nice and startling to see i'm so brilliant across the political while it's so pretty good so far. and of course, i presume you'll then be persuading them of some of the action that needs to be taken, which you do talk about in, in the book one, a one paragraph. i think the did the shock me a little was when you said the u. s. remains the only nation that can.
