ah ah ah, you will so use lulu to she was now completely following the american dictates. europe has lost its independence to serve american interests in the geopolitical containment of russia and china. russia is foreign minister states they. e. u is a vast cell of the united states and is conducting a proxy war against moscow in ukraine. also ad on the program this our messaging planes, washington for stealing oil from syria saying 60 covers all of the country's top resorts being looted by us forces since just the beginning of the year. 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, china with africa seeks a substitute to the american dollars dominance. looking to the bricks group of countries with broadcasting from the russian capital. this is our team. my name's unit o'neill. in 30 minutes of news and views start now. 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, so you see the you is now completely following the american dictate, a book of 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 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's proxies and it satellites, they've been developing this for years to a new in the stocks for in the u. s. has now ship to coalitions 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 as a proxy 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 a rush to do and comply, but also with rushes i lies and others. 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 look women in is that the movie here it up. 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 health of the planet, or violate an international law in the same way, in order to cease territories with them, we are victims of disposing greeks. we have a threat from turkey. how would you argue with this position? for the scholars that i see it, russia has not shown its best qualities. an interesting formulation they did have about $300.00 times after the end of the cold war, of the united states invaded some one else's territory, lay up with jim their goal in places like central america is the liquidation of threats to the world moves and 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 for after they made a spring board for an attack on russia. and secondly, the humiliation of russians and the could tar in 2014. when the west sided with the

anti russian regime without an attempt to dial back the bombing of la ganske in odessa, lauren investigated there were no tribunals that minsk agreements was just to give you a korean war. time and weapons. years ago, we were the only ones who saw the implementation of immense can agreements all the others were cheaters. but another interesting point was that to us regular also, that wasn't 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 of it still is rhetoric 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, it was not just the crane. we also heard about the stand up between as that of i, john and our mealy up there with questions about japan. but we could see that there

was a particular focus more on asia and not a natural because as we'll see in russia has been shifted more towards the east, 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. the alliance is not an alliance, but in some ways even stronger. our relations are respectful, based on a balance of interest. there is no need to look for information about the west attempts to bring discord into our relations. they don't consider us an immediate threat. china is considered a long term challenge to lose. they understand that their forces are running out in opposition to the historical trend of the formulation of the multi polar world. we

see that the west is trying to bring the scores between us. they are trying to defeat us in order to then convince russia to become a partner of the west that has forgiven sanctions and will not interfere and ideally helped to restrain china. i do not know which of their analysts develop these theories, but they are out of touch with real life, accomplish my colleagues, marina cost forever and rory, sushi, talking through the many topics, touched upon by surrogate love ralph of his annual media conference on wednesday. if you'd like to dig a little deeper into that as well, r t dot com. as you cover german chancellor olive shawl says, urged allies to increase military supplies, ticky f, bowing to back ukraine for as long as is necessary in the conflict. in order for the war to ent rush, us aggression must fail. that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine

with large quantities of arms in close consultation with all patmos. however, germany reportedly will allow its leopard 2 tanks to ukraine only if the u. s. sends their abrams tanks that are not on the supposed list of new at batches of the military aid dances. some german politicians have spoken night against washington's pressure campaign. seeing the u. s. is trying to force berlin sam to day stag deliveries are reminiscent of the wound. 1914. this means direct participation in the war. this seems to be the deeper reason why washington is so reluctant. on the subject of tag deliveries. beth forces its ally to make sacrifices like a vassal, while washington's efforts to get allies to sin, more lethal laid comes amid tough economic challenges in germany, which is facing rising prices and soaring energy built. despite what we've just

heard, the u. s. secretary of state denies his country, is pressuring anyone to take action. germany suggested today that sir, he won't allow tanks to be sent to ukraine unless the u. s. senate and 1st i was the response to that. so on the question of, of tanks and for that matter, any women system, these are sovereign decisions for each country to make. well, we spoke to a member of the european parliament for the alternative for germany party. he says that while the u. s. is asking countries to send their top heavy weaponry to key if it's not following its own advice. well, she did this certainly encouraging us to send tanks 1st or to send 10 tanks. why washington isn't prepared to do so far as the job and population is concerned. most johns, do not want to get involved in a more germany or a job in government. i should say. above all,

seeks to please nato and the you. they believe that's what i would call wishful thinking that they can, these nato and the you and the friends of ukraine without being getting further revolt in this conflict. i think that's very dangerous, wishful thinking. the reason i think is a conviction that ukraine can win this conflict. so i think that's at the heart of the metro supplies watching is concerned. of course, the rest of the world will pas claim and also wish to extend this fear seem to be the source of that policy ukraine. okay, another story where a cross today, china is foreign ministry spokesperson has slammed the us for the quote,

illegal plundering of syrian oil. sing. washington is interested in reaping the benefits of its actions, regardless of the collateral damage called make what they should wear struck by the blatant sea and agree justice of the u. s. plundering of syria to be at the level of us greed and stealing resources from syria is a striking as its 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 whether ministers says spokesperson didn't hold back. also accusing washington of ruthlessly trampling on the lives of the syrian people. not as damascus says more than 80 percent. busy of its daily or like 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 tankers trucks full of oil on

wheat out of syria. 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. amid accusations of stealing syrian oil in 2021, the pentagon said that american troops weren't there to protect syrian oil fields except on rare occasions when civilians were involved. while syrian american journalist on political commentator steven saline says washington's actions are stripping syria of the resources, the country needs to recover. they are sir, bidding the city 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. lexia is that huge amount of money that is there. 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 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, homeless, palmera, hammock. in the central of syria, the temperature are below 0. they have no way of the warming to houses. or i turning attention the program no to india for a recent poll among citizens has thrown up some eye opening results, including the u. s. taking 2nd place among what people view as the top security threat to the nation. ortiz, india correspondence run june sharma picks up the story. and now the pool is saying

that u. s. is considered as a 2nd top thread going ahead of focused on and boxed on. remember, in the shares of history of military conflict with border disputes as well. in fact, ever since the creation of focus on 947, india had trouble diplomatic relationship with the and a u. s. in fact, interestingly, comes ahead. marcus, 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 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 stuff. 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 the 2nd most threat when it comes to india. also, when it comes to china now the top that lives in the so be 43 percent indians. consider china the top military threat. remember india in the recent boss has had trouble a border situation with shy not in 2020 india on china shore. one of the bloodiest commissions in history where several soldiers also had lost their life. and also last year in 2022, 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 law school responsible for the ongoing conflict in ukraine. now it's around 26 percent people that say united states has to be blamed and around 18 percent. people think nato is to be blamed. 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 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 void 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 more school 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 barcus on had gone to war or the manager in crisis in eastern thought to san countries including the u. s. b, 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 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. the south africa is foreign minister, has called for a dollar, substitute in global unreachable trade now and is looking towards the bricks group

of solution of countries for that solution. the r t contributor chris m spoke earlier with my colleague bracy share, but what the following words from the lead a pun door mike justin to we've always been concerned at the fact that there is a dominance of the dollar. and that we do need to look into tentative. i think this is one of the reasons why we created the 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 content for our entire well to provide us with 70 riches and resources that i think that 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 set up, chris? because the dollar saves nations all around the world? is the king couldn't currency? why would they be said the fact that this policy of most countries that trade in us dollars have really extracted well from that country. as opposed to that take china

that is invested millions of trillions of dollars in the economies of african nation where it seems to be instead of extract from their policy. see, we want to investment 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 where we're from a town or a village in africa, and you'll down down the sound of mine or your west in some kind of mineral extraction and in the past. so you've really seen is western company come employees 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 school, new hospitals, and things that really improve your life. i think if it were 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 with all of that different trade associations and different ways in which they tried to manipulate the world. the fact is, if saudi joined the organization, who would you 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. and i don't know the fiscal level, which is probably more important that 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 come countries coming together very similar to the year, right, right. the european union has its own currency the year, right? 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 counter a currency with that much power in rehab less than 2 months ago. would agree 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 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 for jetta to see a b s. prior to the fees we saw in those meetings. we saw the pick up count countries which are obviously led by saudi arabia chairs, but through 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, dictate how we run our fiscal policies and how we look after our own people in our

own country. and yet more interesting remarks on the day from south africa is foreign minister who condemned a u. s. bill designed to punish african countries for any cooperation they have with moscow calling it and lawful initiative. i believe the bill 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 legislation and indicators, often 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 volts, 29. 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 on a head a working visit to the united states. and he and his father and his foreign minister doctor, the lady ponder poor, did squarely to the americans that this is been 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 around for a late last year in november, it was fed by some of the officials in the white house that the prison a 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 isn't a lady pinder 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. an 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 discuss corporation, 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 lummus 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. us authorities have arrested the head of a whole. kang registered crypto currency exchange are totally leg could deem off, has been charged with illegal money laundering. the russian national is accused of facilitating the transfer of, quote, illicit funds worth hundreds of millions of dollars. the businessman was arrested in miami. let's reported he will face charges for long bring funds through his company bits late. so this scheme reportedly enable russian actors and business people to send money to the u. s. which is currently illegal to do from russia. when more details emerge on the story will bring them to not because of

sanctions imposed on of gala stone, i'm the financial tool they're taking regional unless they tell about government can't control the numbers of local people growing puppies and treating opium. fueling harlan usage worldwide. the telephone itself stresses it's the previous government which is responsible for the extent of the current opium problem. learn a one at a home right at the beginning when the islamic government had taken control of kabul in afghanistan and victory was announced. 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 orders, we have not allowed any new opium or hashish crops in any districts of the country . 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, the law against the production of opium. poppy was not strictly imposed on our

governments stood up against this. 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. forward. sorry, well, after the telephone return to power in 2021, all the financial assets of the statements gained in us and european banks where fruits and that includes $2000000000.00 in europe and also $7000000000.00 in the u. s. big mines. most western donors including the world bank of also stop sending aid to the country. despite that, the taliban government still paid about $5000000.00 to the world bank to service up kind of some debt last summer. and the western economic pressure has only worst in the countries opium trafficking problem. the taliban say they initially target the

legal industry. but despite the reference of kinda stuff still satisfies about 80 percent of the globes or be in demand. i know the price per kilogram in the country has skyrocketed from around $60.00 in 2020 want to prices reaching 10 times that depending on the region well, senior member of the countries drug fighting for spoke to r t about the issues facing the asian nation to move a 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 and afghan standards and temperatures have rob to minus 35 in some parts of the country. while cowboy has experienced heavy winds and there's no vulnerable in this weather, we are really worried about the drug addicts in the prison. we are 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. that is a ramp stay close, so to see what's showing wherever you are today, after the shortest of breaks ah, ah ah, with

.
