either ukraine or russia, this is the question so called being tags all across the western world are asking the problem with this approach that it lacks intellectual and moral honesty. we must address why this conflict started in the 1st place. a use with you is now completely following the american dictating europe has lost its independence to serve american interest in the geopolitical containment of russia and china. russia is foreign minister states. the you is that both the u. s. is conducting a proxy war against moscow and you also had on the from patients claims washington for stealing oil from syria. same 60 tankers, full of the country's up resources been looted by us forces. joe, with a recent survey shows that people in india c, the u. s. as

a military threat to the nation coming in 2nd only after neighbors with a substitute to the american dollars dominance. looking to the bricks, group of countries for a solution with broadcasting live from our international new center in moscow. this is our take. great, are you with us today. my name's unit of the european union has lost its independence to washington on the nato military alliance. those direct words coming from russia's foreign minister during an annual news conference where he summed up the events of the past year. you want to say use, you is now completely following the american dictate. europe has lost its independence in a joint declaration explicitly states that europeans are subjugated to nato's

essentially continuing an obligation to serve american interests 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 its imperialist views on the rest of the world, for example, our survey 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 it satellites, they've been developing this for years to new english. that's for us has 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. and i wanted to find the solutions were 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 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 when the 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 women in the city, 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 policy in greece. we have a threat. protect. yeah. how would you argue with this position for the 1st that a she at russia has not shown as best qualities that could be 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 layer put in 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 germany 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, incessantly, the humiliation of russians and the crew to tie in 2014, when the west side with the anti russian regime. we shouted harold, dial back the bombing of la ganske in odessa lead. no one investigate which

a good will know tribunals that minsk agreements was just to give you a green war time and weapons. here's the guy who are the only one. so sought the implementation of immense concrete mints, all the others were cheaters. but another to some point was that to us regular ross about western globalization is 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 laughter of touch down on as well? no, i was no just the crane. we also heard about the standoff between as that of i, john and our mealy up there with questions about to tag. but we could see that there was a particular focus more on asia. and that's

a natural because as we'll 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 anti ed ross's relationship with china. the shuttle sure news, this 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 characterizes relations like this. reliance is not an alliance, but in some ways even stronger boots are relations are respectful based on a balance of interest. obviously, there is no need to look for information about the west attempts to bring discord into our relation. so surely don't consider us an immediate threat with 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 mortgage loan to pursue that? the west is trying to bring the scores, which owners,

they are trying to feed 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 help 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 my colleagues, marina cost rover and rory, sushi, talking through them, many topics, touched upon by surrogate love. ralph asked his annual media conference on wednesday now if you'd like to dig deeper into that r t dot com. as he covered, western leaders are once again urging allies to send more heavy weapons to give. the officials also continued to suggest peace can only be achieved through warfare and ukraine's victory on the battlefield. in order for the war to ent rush us aggression must fear. that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our partners. you claim should

get all the military equipment it needs and it can handle. and this also includes the advance system. we decide to say so the war, therefore, it is important that we equip ukraine with a weapons. it needs to win. military support for ukraine is the fastest way to peace. while the narrative does your result of western leaders surging berlin, artis and leopard to bottle tongues to ukraine. recently the u. k. defense minister also confirm london will be sending 14 challenger 2 tanks to care. that's in fact, would become the 1st instance when a western nation, us and main battle tanks to ukraine's ranks the international action center. sorry, flanders believes it's not about achieving peace, but prolonging the war for as long as all the it's lining up countries for more weapons, more arm sales, billions more and somehow that's the path to peace. of course, it's not,

it's not even intended to be. it is a path to us domination, hedge money, and that is what is slipping. they can all agree to more weapons, but it will not change the failure of this war. this war was intended as a way of, of breaking russia that has not succeeded. it was a way of totally unraveling the russian economy that has not happened. what has happened is disaster for the ukraine in this proxy war and a real unraveling of the economy throughout europe as they are now totally dependent on the u. s. ok, let's turn focus now on the program to india, where a recent poll among citizens has thrown up some eye opening results, including the u. s. taking 2nd place among what people view of the top security

threat to the nation. ortiz, india corresponded room june sharma can pick up from there. and now the ball is seeing that us is considered as a 2nd top thread going ahead of 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 the ordinary citizens from across the country was interviewed. of course, they saw china as the top thread, but 22 percent saw us. the 2nd most threat, as far as this ball 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 u. s. china conflict that the stabilizes regional security. putting india at risk . well, that's interesting considering india has rather warm relationships with the west. also us as india, as top treating 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. remember, india in the recent past 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 2022. another clash between india and china we saw now another

interesting aspect of this particular survey is that indians are likely to blame us allies. and he, for the conflict in ukraine, and it's only around 30 percent. so less than 40 percent indians that come to the more school responsible for the ongoing conflict and ukraine. now it's around 26 percent people that say 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 leave me more school for the conflict. now another reason that people think in this direction is because indians have off late been all to by the west by the u. s . a. for the constant pressure 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 military exercises with more school. just to quickly underline that as far as new delhi and moscow friendship is concerned, it has withstood the test of time and also geopolitical jones in that sense, for example, in a 971. when india and barcas on had gone to war or the manager and prices in eastern office on countries including the u. s. the all supported. they provided military as well as more support to bach is done. and that's when india had sent out and with call, and only one country came to the rescue that was so with the union. so this ball in a sense, whole testimony of that people in india haven't forgotten history ah ok to another of our headlines to reach a, china's foreign ministry spokes person,

how slumber us for the quote, a legal, plundering of syrian oil, saying washington is interested in reaping the benefits of its actions, regardless of the collateral damage cost. make what else should we're struck by the blatant see? an egregious news of the u. s. plundering of syria for the, at 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 yonder, yet a combative speech than painting also accused washington of ruthlessly trampling on the lives of the syrian people else. as the musket sayings, more than 80 percent of its daily, all i'd put was smuggled out of the country by u. s. troops in the 1st half of 2022. while already this year, just weeks in official state,

the u. s. has taken 60 tanker trucks full of oil and wheat out of syria for the u. s. has been present in syria since 2014, leaving a coalition focused on regime change involving the military's of most nato countries and regional allies. i made accusations of stealing syrian oil in 2021. the pentagon said that the american troops weren't there to protect syrian oil fields, except on rare occasions when civilians were involved with syrian american journalist and political commentator as steven. so ini say's washington's actions are stripping syria of the resources the country needs to recover. they are forbidding the sooty people from having added that. the fuel numbers 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 that huge amount of money. that is, that,

that could have rebuilt year to 2 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, it's easy as getting one out of electricity every 24 hours, the ceiling people, i'm talking about the student 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, almost almira hammock. in the central of syria, the temperature are below 0. they have no way of the warming to houses. now, south africa's foreign minister as cold for a dollar substitution in global and regional trade. and as looking towards the bricks, group of concrete for the solution are to contribute. our chris him spoke earlier with my colleague,

maurice sushi now by its want these following words from dr. lindy ponder might until we've always been concerned at the fact that there is a dominance of the dollar and that we do need to look into a tentative i think this is one of the reasons why we creates a new development bank of bricks. i think what she's referring to is the fact that let's take south africa, the largest economy in africa, which is, you know, in so many ways such an important concept for our entire world to provide that to 70 riches and resources that i think they just fed up the fed up with the fact that their entire economy is dictated to by us fiscal. why, why do you think that fed up, chris? because the dollar saves nations all around the world? is the king couldn't currency? why would they be fed? the fact that this policy of most countries that trade in us dollars pretty extracted well from that country, as opposed to that take china is invested millions of trillions of dollars in the economies of african nation where it seems to be instead of extracts from their

policy seems to be one of investment bank 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 say we're, we're from a town or a village in africa, and you'll down down the sound of mine or your work in some kind of mineral extraction. and in the past, you've really seen this western company 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 to be on. 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 re bricks as it is right now, covers

a far larger expense of the well population that the united states could ever dream a little bit different trade associations in different ways in which tried to manipulate the world. the fact is, if saudi join not organization, who to 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 south has 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. but i think this might be what the formalist of south africa, also referring to on a fiscal level. there's really nothing stopping these come countries coming together very similar to the year. right, right. the european union has its own currency the year, right? or 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 count out a currency with that much power in rehab. less than 2 months ago. would they agree to go essentially, to national currencies? it's almost like, by, by petro dollar. hello petrow you want, and yet all these opec countries,

they're all joining on board here. they're all looking to trade in national currencies. this is like, this is like a snowball, roaring down a mountain. i'm getting massively more and more big a big a big a, 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 meeting we've been biden's visit, suggest that the c b s. prior to the fees we saw in those meetings, we saw the opec plus count countries, which are obviously led by saudi arabia chat room, 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 country. and more interesting remarks on the day from south africa is

foreign minister who also condemned a u. s. bill designed to punish african countries for any cooperation they have with moscow calling it and on the lawful initiative. i believe the girl should really be killed because i think it's totally unwarranted. i think it's an intrusion that goes against international law. and we've made this clear to our colleagues in the united states. we even met with the draft over the initial integration and indicated our fence with which we view this particular proposed piece of legislation. it's called the malign of russian activities in africa, eggs. what do we in africa called the anti african bill? and those were the ones that have been used by several commentators to describe exactly what happened last year in the house of representative in the united states

. the bill was an overwhelming majority support in congress. in fact, it was bipartisan winning by some 419 volt to 9, and it was pass through. but the interesting part is what happened to that bill, as it was likely seem to be going through, is a way to the senate and then throw them up with a head, a working visit to the united states. and he and his father and his foreign minister doctrine, a lady pond to port is squarely to the american said. this is an anti africa bill that they cannot force africans to choose, that africans have a right to determine their own development and determine their own partners. we have been lamenting that bill ever since it came, and before that trip by for a late last year in november, it was said by some of the officials in the white house that the president joe biden will take as much time as possible to delay the bill to make sure that it never ends up on his desk to possibly try and stop it within the senate. but it

really looks at anybody who is potentially making friendships with, with russia and south africa, has a vested interest, especially when it comes to russia as part of the brakes. membership and south africa has been really keen to really leverage on some of the memberships that you find within breaks to make them come up issues that are rather continent wide. they've continuously encourage the chinese to invest more on the continent and being continuously looked towards russia as part of the military fortification of south african army. and here is the lady ponder, speaking about what they hold to bring as part of their chairmanship, which they took over just at the beginning of this year. the chairmanship of bricks which they will be holding until the end of the year. we very thrilled that the progress of character, of the forum has been recognized and that many countries wish to be part of it.

because there is concern in the world about changing geo politics and almost a unit quote, polar framework where one or 2 regions or countries wish to be dominant in terms of ideology and political thought. so the fact that there are countries, especially in the developing world that have recognized that greeks offers an alternative because we don't force ideas on anyone. we discussed cooperation. we see global amity. we see more and more that russia is getting and traced on the continent as well, becoming a member of, of preference, especially when it comes to issues of security. as we've seen around the, the hell region with some of the numerous country there that have been really taken over by the insurgency and as long as extremism that has been part of that region. and is not surprising that the lady ponder,

picked this moment to give this interview because she's always been measured. always been deliberate and never gives an interview for its own sake. ok to a developing story today, us authorities have arrested the head of a whole. kang registered crypto currency exchange. i'm a totally leg could deem of being charged with illegal money laundering. the russian national is accused of transmitting quotes elicit from it's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. the business was. busy arrested in miami, and it's reported he will face charges for laundering funds through his company bits later. the scheme reportedly enable russia, doctors, and business people to send money to the us. when more details emerge on the story will bring them to you. because of sanctions, again stuff gala start on the financial told they're taken on the country. regional

analysts say the taliban government can't control the numbers of local people, growing poppies and treating opium. that's all about itself stresses. it's the previous government, which is responsible for the extent of the current opium problem. love one at a home. right at the beginning, when the islamic government had taken control of kabul in afghanistan and victory was announced when the supreme leader of the taliban declared an immediate ban on all kinds of drugs. the seating of narcotics was no longer allowed. following these, we have not allowed any new opium or hashish crops in any districts of the country, or whenever some minor violations came up, the taliban took immediate action to burn the crops during the 20 year rule of the previous regime, narcotics were being produced on a large scale in afghanistan and the law against the production of opium, poppy was not strictly imposed on our government stood up against us. with conviction, strong will and determination. we activated our counter narcotics force and seized

a large quantity of hashish, heroine, cocaine, and alcohol. considering these efforts, we hope to fully stop the drug problem soon. well, after they tell upon return to power in 2021, all the financial assets of the statements in u. s. and europe, ian banks where frozen that includes $2000000000.00 in europe and $7000000000.00 in the us big amounts. most western donors, including the world bank, have also stopped sending aid to the country. despite that, the taliban government still paid about $5000000.00 to the world bank to service afghanistan's debt last summer. while the western economic pressure is only worse in the countries opium trafficking problem, let's show you that the taliban say the initially targeted the illegal industry which produces heroin. but despite that, their efforts of chemist on still satisfied about 80 percent of the globes opium

demand. and know the price per kilogram in the country has skyrocketed from just over $60.20 to prices reaching 10 times that number, depending on the region today. well, a senior member of the countries drug fighting for spoke to archie about the issues facing the country to some or little around 4500 drug addicts have been arrested and sent to jail, including dealers, car, right on the streets. as you know, it's a harsh winter in afghanistan, and temperatures have dropped to minus 35 in some parts of the country. while cow bull has experienced heavy winds and snow fall. in this weather, we are really worried about the drug addicts in the prison. we're trying to transfer these people to some other area to save their lives. according to a survey in 2015, we have 3500000 drug addicts in afghanistan, but i don't trust these numbers until we can get our own updated survey. now

being labeled a which and becoming a light cast from your family. sounds like salem in the 1600. but it is what girls are still dealing with ted day in central parts of african. their story is till next, in which hunt income i will the conflict in ukraine and se speier, pharmacist frozen conflict or defeat, or either ukraine or russian. this is the question so called being tags all across the western world are asking the problem with this approach. that it lacks intellectual and moral honesty. we must address why this conflict started in the 1st place with the only liam of late relish, so glad they she cloth ticket. let us did that. i made one of the idea about them.

this is unavailable, believe it was of it and said to listen, isn't a vehicle because the other lady named with eddie illegally know what i see school car wouldn't have port backwards, but some claim it has not been much scheme reported to me had cut daughtry the subdivision of touched a lovely old william conyers. no cramps give picks, data, which it is said to jeff. i mean, you don't know if you can become a empty com or somebody and the community that the comma a lovely knob is off like, supposedly sat up like you still affect it door only or that i needed a disclaimer, but how much the building just took me right now for a soaking at them during the summer because i see the reason i wish sure, kathy so much busy them. we're gonna let chris.
