don't know who sees you know, for the don't know if i should just to do given me other than that, we're going to the school to use for us to play in finances come on both with you is now completely following the american dictates. europe has lost its independence, which serve american in trying to secure in the geopolitical containment of russia and china rockers far better as the e. u is a vast solar u. s. and is conducting a proxy war against russia in new great. beijing blames washington for stealing oil from syria, saying 60 kind of goes full of serious talk resources. they've been looted by us soldiers just this month. and a recent survey shows that people in india see america,

the military threat to that country coming in 2nd, only off the china with no way in the evening hours here at moscow, the world shows no sign of slowing down straight to a top storage right now here we're not. and 1st to ukraine, whereas we understand 17 people including 4 children and the countries interior ministry leadership well being killed in a helicopter crash that came down to your kindergarten in a suburb of key f. like details. my correspondent ortiz sophia new, a french maid helicopter, carrying senior ukrainian officials crushed on wednesday morning in the key of suburb, the helicopter struck a kindergarten and a 14 story residential building was also damaged. at this moment, 17 people including 4 children, have been confirmed dead among the dead are ukraine's interior minister, his 1st deputy and the secretary of state 25 people, including 11 children,

were wounded in an hour, been treated in a hospital. the crash occurred at 8 20 in the morning. the time went, baron's typically troubled their children at the kindergarten. one witness of the scene described that the helicopter caught fire and was spinning in a circle before plunging to the ground. ukrainian authorities said that in equipment malfunction, violation of safety, procedure or sabotage, would have caused the accident. the helicopter in question is a french made super pull my air bus with a trouble history in 2016 after a series of crashes and major problem. and it's designed was identified forcing at least 3 european countries, germany in norway, in britain to ground there super pull my helicopters, ukrainian official said that the accident investigation will take about 6 weeks. quote, the european union has lost his independence to washington and the nato military alliance of those woods from russia's foreign minister during his annual news conference. it's what he basically sums up the events of the last year and he went

on for 3 hours this time around you want to say use the e. u is now completely following the american dictate. because europe has lost its independence to in a joint declaration explicitly states that europeans are subjugated to nato's essentially continuing an obligation to serve american interest in the geopolitical containment of russia and china. one of the main points it seems to be that 2022 definitely showed a tendency that has been developing for many years to create a development to bring to the forefront that the west is trying to impose its way of thinking. and it's imperialist views on the rest of the world. for example, our sergei elaborate mentioned that nato has been fighting russia through you crate . and that even an academic study that was published in the west has shown facts and details revealing that. and also that would that help all that proxies and at

satellites? they've been developing this for years to new on the steps for us is now ship to coalition, including virtually all european countries about natal member states and you states and others. and now they are waging a war by proxy against russia using ukraine is approximately in order to solve the russian matter. just like hitler wanted to find the solution to a jewish problem. they're doing the same right now. sir gallagher of also mentioned that the sanctions that are being used by the wes are aimed at not only weakening russia and trying to get it to play along to what it wants are russia to do and comply, but also with rushes. i lies another so called undesirable nations, trying to force them to follow suit and do the same thing, follow washington's rhetoric. there was an interesting question at some point, a, when a journalist asked, how can russia claim to respect the un charter and international law. when it started this a special military operation, and the journalist asked, how can the russia accused the west of doing something that it itself has done now,

just the quickness of the mortgage europe, there is an opinion among europeans that russia did not show its best side by deciding to take military action, while the rest of the imperialist countries that have bombed half of the planet, or violate an international law in the same way in order to cease territory. muslim, we are victims of this posting greeks. we have a threat for truck. yeah. how would you argue with this position for the scholars that she had? russia has not shown as best qualities over an interesting formulation and looked at us about $300.00 times. after the end of the cold war, of the united states invaded someone else's territory liability. and their goal in places like central america is the liquidation of threats to the world was when they were offended. for example, by saddam hussein and gadhafi in yugoslavia, they simply decided to destroy the balkans for the sake of german or you. but there was no question of any tribunals or decision to investigate crimes. they said we will put you under sanctions. we defended our security from ukraine,

but after they made a spring board for an attack on russia. and secondly, the humiliation of russians and the crew to tie in 2014, when the west sided with the anti russian regime was out in the hills. dial back the bombing of la ganske in odessa. lauren, investigate which there were no tribunals that minsk agreements was just to give you a green war time and weapons. here's the good. we were the only ones who sought the implementation of immense concurrence, all the others were chillers. but another to some point was that to us regular off about western globalization as collapsing and washington is trying to retain that top spot by. going as far as a legitimate means to achieve that, any means possible, trying to create a rift between countries to make sure that the majority is big too. it's a rhetoric. i also understand you were there among many, many journalists from all around the world. what's it, was it just ukraine,

or what are some other topics that level of touch down on as well? no, i was no just the crane. we also heard about the standoff between azerbaijan and armenia . there were questions about japan, but we could see that there was a particular focus more on asia and not a natural because as we see in russia has been shifting more towards these, especially after the special military of operations began. and we saw the reaction from the west with the sanctions and tried to restrict russia, and so we can russia. so there was a particular emphasis in particular on and china and the roches relationship with china. the shuttle should news. there's little news publication are relations with china are going to the best times in history. the leaders of our country say the same thing. china characterize is relations like this, be lions is not an alliance, but in some ways even stronger boots are relations are respectful based on a balance of interest of yours. there is no need to look for information about the west attempts to bring discord into our relation. so we don't consider us an

immediate threatened. china is considered a long term challenger news. will they understand that their forces are running out in opposition to the historical trend of the formulation of the multiple or world to proceed that the west is trying to bring the scores to johnny was they are trying to defeat us in order to then convince russia to become a partner of the west that has forgiven sanctuary little so and will not interfere . and ideally, only helped to restrain china for i do not know which of their analysts develop these theories, but they are out of touch with real life accomplishing. so these were among the wide ranging topics, touched upon by so gay laughter offered his annual press conference today. he had an awful lot to say he can read much more about that. at arts, he dot com also tell you about a wiki leaks has released diplomatic cables to show western politicians knew they were crossing a red line with russia when they pushed fin nato expansion in ukraine. we'll have more of that story and break it down for you. just a few minutes here on the program. but for now,

a chinese foreign ministry spokes person has slammed america for stealing serious oil, saying washington is interested in reaping the benefits, regardless of collateral damage. may will, to should, we're struck by the blatant see an egregious news of the u. s. plundering of syria throughout the level of us greed and stealing resources from syria is a striking this, it's generosity and giving out military aid, whether the u. s. gives or takes, it plunges other countries into turmoil and disaster, and the u. s. reaps its benefits for its hedge. ammonia and other interests may wonder john dodging q. measuring also blames washington of, quote, ruthlessly trampling on the lives of the syrian people. thus, as damascus says, more than 80 percent of its daily oil output was smuggled out of a country by us troops in the 1st half of the last year. officials, they're say that already in the 1st month of 2023, washington has already used 60 tankers to ship out oil and wheat from syria.

now, you know the story americans been present. i'm serious in 2014 leading a coalition for what many claim was that essentially the focus of regime change involving a well military's of america, france, canada, australia, numerous countries and emit accusations of stealing syrian oil in 2021. the pentagon said that u. s. troops were not there to protect syrian oil fields except for rare occasions when it's needed to protect civilians. but i spoke just a bit earlier in this program to political commentator, stevens. so honey, he says washington's actions basically strip syria of the resources that it so desperately needs to recover. they are forbidding the city people from having added the fuel number for a warming to houses in the winter for tourney on the fact is for the rebuilding of syria. and that is particularly what a washington d. c wants to a country like steel. yeah, that is a huge amount of money that is or that could have rebuilt c o $22.00 or 3 times

a doctor. we could have got a medication medicine. we could have got day 6 up our hospitals in syria. it could have got fuel for the cars, our schools and everything. we have a shortage exceeded as getting one out of electricity of the 24 hours, the ceiling people. i'm talking about the cd and average people. they cannot and they don't have fuel. it don't have electricity to warm their houses. there are some areas in syria like la po, damascus, homeless, almira hammock. in the central of syria, the temperature are below 0. they have no way of warming their houses as move to india. now where a recent poll shows a rather surprising result with the united states of america taking 2nd place among the top security threats to india. so his correspond runjun sharma taking up the story. firstly, very, very interesting ball there,

as you suggested rory. and now the ball is seeing that us is considered as a 2nd top thread going ahead, focused on and focused on remember in the shares of history of military conflict with border disputes as well induct, ever since the creation of focus on 947 india had trouble diplomatic relationship with the and a u. s. in fact interestingly, comes ahead macos on and in this particular so be ordinary citizens from across the country. one interviewed, of course they saw china as the top thread, but 22 percent saw us. the 2nd most threat, as far as this pool is concerned, while the world's 2 largest democracies would seem to make for natural partners, especially given their mutual mistrust of china. indians have strategic reasons to be wary of the world's western superpower as tensions between washington and beijing increase the indian public may be worried about getting caught in the

middle of a us china conflict that the stabilizes regional security. putting india at risk. well, that's interesting considering india has rather warm relationship with the west, also us as india's top trading partner in the world. and you and then when you look at this, so be a people are seeing that us as a 2nd most threat when it comes to india. also, when it comes to china, now the talks that lives in the so be 43 percent. the indians come to the china, the top military threat to remember india in the recent boss has had trouble a border situation with shy not in 2020 india on china. so one of the bloodiest commissions in history where several soldiers also had lost their life and also last year in 2020 to another class between india and china. we saw now another interesting aspect of this particular service is that indians are likely to blame

us allies and he, for the conflict in ukraine, and it's only around 38 percent. so less than 40 percent indians that come to the more school responsible for the ongoing conflict in ukraine. now it's around 26 percent people that see united states us to be blamed and around 18 percent. people think nato is to begin. so 44 percent there compared to the 38 percent people think and jamie, more school for the conflict. now another reason that people think in this direction is because indians have often been all to by the west by the u. s. a. for the constant threshold its force on india to condemn the rush shells offensive in ukraine also to north by discounted oil from russia. and now 60 percent of people in india believe that the indian government should continue buying oil from russia

and around 49 percent. see that india should continue its military exercises with more school. just to quickly underline that as far as new delhi and more school friendship is concerned, it have withstood the test of time and also geopolitical jones. in that sense, for example, in a 971, when india and barcus on had gone to war or the manager and prices in eastern focus on countries including the u. s. the all supported. they provided military as well as moral support to pakistan. and that's when india had sent out an issue with call and only one country came to india rescue. that was so with the union. so this ball in a sense, whole testimony of that people in india haven't forgotten history. well, it's good to have you without fear for this program. for moscow, it's right now a quarter past the hour. this is a big story of a south african foreign minister called for

a dollar substitute. looking to the bricks, group of countries for some kind of solution. we have always been concerned about the dominance of the dollar. and we need to look for an eternity to this. this is one of the reasons why we created the brakes, new development bank. time to get educated here on our team to national with our to contribute. chris m is joining us here in the studio. great to see you today. always, always pleasure to have you read a huge story, isn't it? chris? you may have spoken in the past about this, the multi polar world, the world is changing. we just heard the south african foreign minister there looking for a substitute for the dollar. what on earth can pandora be talking about? i mean, you were europe. see you right, this is huge news because this is a very big country talking about this. but i think what she's referring to is the fact that let's take south africa that the largest economy in africa, which is, you know, in so many ways such an important content for our entire world. the provides us the 70 riches and resources. but i think that just fed up the fed up with the fact that

their entire economy is dictated to by us fiscal. well, why, why do you think that fed up, chris? because, you know, the dollar saves nations all around the world is the king couldn't currency. why would they be fed out? sure, that really good question marie. i think the reason that completely fed up is the fact that this policy of most countries that trade in us dollars really extracted well from that country. as opposed to that take, china is invested millions if not trillions of dollars in the economies about the canadian nation, where it seems to be instead of extraction. that policy seems to be one of investments and then winning the hearts and minds the way china is working in africa, building infrastructure, schools, roads, hospitals, clinics, these kinds of things. it's almost like winning the hearts and minds of the people that i play. i think that's totally the, the correct way to look at it. i mean that's, that's where we're from a town or a village in africa. and you know, you'll down down down to mine or your west in some kind of mineral extraction. and in the past, you've really seen this western companies come employee and just extract that well,

whereas they see a chinese company coming, employ them, and actually re invest that money in new homes. like you said, new roads, you infrastructure, new schools, new hospitals, and things that really improve your life. i think if it were you or i'd, i'd, i'd know which side i'd want want to be on. but you know, here on our team to national kristen, i know you've seen some of the coverage. we spend a lot of attention to africa these days and you know, they're a little hot spots there. a lot of what you've got tribal issues here. you've got insurgencies that you put an awful lot of external players meddling and mixing in africa right now, but it is the bread basket of the world. so you would understand why there's so much attention on the african continent right now. but chris talked to me about bricks, brazil, russia, india, china, south africa, potentially it's going to be saudi arabia, potentially, argentina, potentially iran. what are the implications that chris read it again? an amazing question because bricks, as it is right now, covers a fall too expensive. the well population that the united states could ever dream, and all of that different trade associations in different ways in which they tried

to manipulate the world. the fact that the saudi joined, not, not organization. we would go to south africa, the largest economy in africa, in that we've got china. we've got these big brazil, the largest country in south america, if the saudis come in there and all these other countries that are requesting now to join. i mean, it's really unstoppable. i don't know the fiscal level, which is probably more important. and i think this might be what the formalist of south africa is also referring to on a fiscal level, there's really nothing stopping in these countries coming together very similar to the year. right, right. the european union has its own currency, the euro. we could have the bricks, currency, right? at that point, that is incredibly powerful. and for me it's very, very difficult to see how the united states federal reserve could ever pounds act a currency with that much power. well, i think you know that chris, let's talk about this briefly. so the bricks, nations, the bricks, nations have been working on developing the reserve currency, essentially. now they have their own bank, right? but they've been developing their own mixed bag of reserve currency for the bricks . nation. there's an awful lot of chatter out there. maybe it's conspiracy chatter,

but they're saying that that it could, wherever the currency is going to be for the bricks, it could be backed by gold. now no one's been buying more gold lately than china, and no one's been buying more golden russia lately. in fact, just a few weeks ago, we had a silent incognito buyer who screwed up 500 tons of gold on the international market . and it was all how shoot did this. it came out later, it was china, china and russia seem chris to be preparing for something other than the dollar. yeah, i think, i think you're probably right. really. i mean, the, the fact is we have to also understand how specifically china runs their fiscal policy. china runs the fiscal, is a very centralized planned way, and the chinese funds do something that i wake up in the morning and make a decision. they plan this 5101520 years in advance. so i think you're absolutely right. and, you know, we used to live in a world where all currencies that were made to come and see what backed by gold that gave them stability that gave anomalous the very wasted, understand whether that currency was worth you buying or not. if we get to come and see like that again, but that is the doctor most importantly,

by the largest economy in the wall. exactly. i mean, it's for me, you know, i'm not a bessy man, but i would put money on. i'm not being game over for the us dollars. well, you know it's, it's incredible. what's happening right now. we are living through fascinating times because we are witnessing a shoot shift in the g comic powers of the world right now just by, without, without going to deeply into look, china's president made an unprecedented visit to the house of saud in rehab less than 2 months ago where they agreed to go essentially, to national currencies. it's almost like by, by petro dollar. hello, petrow, you one. and yet all these opec countries, they're all joining on board here. they're all looking to trade and national currencies. this is like, this is like a snowball, roaring down a mountain. i'm getting massively more and more big, big, big, big as every day goes past here, it looks already to me anyway. it looks like the petro dollar, which is the spine of america's budget on foreign policy, is being shattered. yes, i agree with you entirely. i think we only had to see that as well from the last

opec class meeting. we've been biden's visit suggested to c and b s. prior c ccs. we saw in those meetings, we saw the opec plus count country, which obviously led by saudi arabia who chairs that group basically say no. they did that with oil pricing. they refused to lower the price. they said we can't do that because we're not going to gamble with our economies anymore. we're not going to allow you to be tight to off through the us dollar, which is exactly as you pointed out how they've done it, to dictate how we run our fiscal policies and how we look after our own people in our own countries and christmas and i've been told number time going to wrap this up, but hold on just one last last question. ok. lot of people saying that with this multi part, well, this economic change is shifting right now. there's going to be an enormous economic downturn, potentially this year, potentially next year. so the person who's watching this right now, and i know you know a lot about investing very quickly. please, chris, how would you advise our viewer to invest into upcoming downturn? 7, really difficult question to answer, but i would say, you know,

don't gamble hold as much cost as you can. don't start investing in different products and services. and i'd say do what, what, you know, i was away for in economics caused by things that is stable gold, property, things like that. the, you are tangible, you can hold onto that you can put on your mattress. and if the nuclear full lot happens, which way you still got those under the bed golden words from artic and jupiter chris ems. always good to see you. thank you very much. thank you. great, have your company. so the russian president, vladimir putin has a late flowers that have a moral to world war 2 soldiers today. they, the soldiers who fought basically to defend leningrad says, what modern city of some petersburg novel than 600000 people starved to death during the nazi siege. of leningrad and among the deceased vladimir putin. older brother, victoria, speaking of today's realities, brewton said that russia has no choice but to defend its people. sure, sure, we deal in fuel again. everything we are currently doing, including the special military operation,

is an attempt to end this war and protect our people who live in don bath. these are our historical territories nation. well, surprise, surprise. meanwhile, the wiki leaks has published scores of new diplomatic cables reporting to show western politicians knew exactly what could happen if they continue to push for nato enlargement to ukraine. many of them saw that as a red line and relations with russia, and they even predicted what that of a future military conflict. let's learn a little bit more. his art sees steve sweet. we are not a threat to russia. security. many western politicians have repeatedly said some even believe it, i guess, but not moscow. perhaps because it has flashbacks from 30 years ago when it received an ironclad assurance from the us that night would not expand eastwood not wanting to take said. but look at the map. since the promise was made, 14 new countries have joined the military alliance. will countries on the waiting

list, closer and closer to russia's borders on thanks to the wiki league's cables, we now know that this fall back as 2005, they knew the ukraine's membership was a red line for russia. and it could even trigger a wall. gordon, montana warned that the question of ukrainian accession to nato remained extremely sensitive for moscow and concluded that if there remained one potential cause for war in europe, it was ukraine in 2008, then u. s embassy to, to russia, and currency i, director william burns, had this to say ukraine, and george is nato aspirations. not only touch iran nerve in russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region. not only does russia perceive encirclement, but it also fears, unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences, which would seriously affect russian security interests. experts tell us that russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in ukraine over nato membership could lead to a major split involving violence,

or at worst civil war. in that eventuality, russia would have to decide whether to intervene a decision. russia does not want to have to face while germany's deputy national security adviser rove. nick hell said that ukraine's membership of nato had the potential to break up the country. nickel raised 3 specific concerns about ukraine that he felt made it risky at this stage to offer it the membership action plan, including a deep divide between the eastern and western parts of the country. on this question, chancellor, director for east european and central asian affairs, walter agreed and thought that membership action plan in the issue of nato membership could break up the country if pushed forward too quickly. in other words, it was widely known that the threat posed was so serious that russia would potentially take action to prevent it from happening. the west has turned a blind eye to more than a is of shelling of the people of don boss, buried his head in the sand of the burning to death of more than 100 people in it,

fight union building in odessa. ignore the one of the people as expressed in recent referendums. but all the while they knew that the majority of people in easton ukraine felt tied to russia. not just that, again, thanks to wiki, biggs, we know that they recognized that russia had to be brought into any conversation on the potentially enlargement of nato, norway's foreign minister store states that russia should not have a veto over nato's decisions and rejects attempts by any country to impose an exclusive right to influence any other country by right of geographic position or political or military power. at the same time, she says that he understands russia's objections to nato enlargement and that the alliance needs to work to normalize the relationship with russia. to make matters worse, story was the foreign minister in the install to mugs government making the nato chief claims that the ukraine conflict was unprovoked. sound even more deceitful. adding in to that makes the recent admissions by ukrainian and european leaders

that the minsk agreements were not ready about peace. it's clear that the conflicts in ukraine is very different from the black and white narrative, portrayed by western leaders and the complying media. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time. he cried, yes, this time to become strong. as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. since 2014, ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy. okay, to train ukrainian forces alongside united luke, i'm agree, the best on forces in eastern europe, according to nature center. now it all gives the impression that piece was never really on the west, so gender a, so something detailed in a 2019 ran report, which is what we are saying play out in from. so our eyes, all mean ukraine,

trade and financial sanctions. and the expansion of the u. s. energy market. so the myth of the unprovoked war, waged by russia doesn't stand up to scrutiny. nato knew exactly the risks of offerings, lensky, the chance to join the 30 member states alliance. because they discussed it. time and time again, over the years. i get another disturbing report. my correspondence, steve sweeney. wrapping up this i was broadcast. you can see more steve's work at r. c dot com for the meantime. thanks for joining us. your news returns at the top of the hour with a look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such order that
