[000:00:00;00] with a robot most protective phone existence, with a headlines on asking international as the indian foreign ministry slums, a new b, b. c documentary about prime minister render moody, saying that piece is huddled, promotes a colonial mindset, pushing us interests so, but china's strong ties with africa. that's how the continents media is describing the rather surprising visit of the us treasury secretaries 11 day trip to africa. and pakistan's petroleum minister emphasizes the importance of increasing energy imports from russia,

despite western science. if we can brush and improve flowing through our system, it would be very helpful. a significant chunk with a new thing here puts the finishing touches on this hour's top stories. it's a pleasure to have you with us here. we're announcing international. so the bbc is peddling a narrative. again, those words from the indian external affairs minister. it's all about a new documentary released by the b b. c, that some, according a hit based on the current prime minister is anything this film or documentary is a reflection on the agents and individuals that are peddling, this narrative. again, it makes us wonder about the purpose of this exercise and the agenda behind it. and frankly, we did not wish to dignify such efforts. the bias like of subjectivity and continued colonial mindset is blatantly visible. bbc's tobart documentaries. see these called

in there, the more the question, whatever that means has been slammed by india labeling 8 a propaganda apiece. the documentary is above the 2000 to withdraw. riots and marines are more. these are all in the violence in his home state, out sued to 1000, to withdraw thrive for the worst. our community rights that india has ever seen. nearly 2000 people had lost their life. it's also true that initially the blame was been on mr. moore, the for not being able to cobb the widens or the supreme court of india has rubbish . all those allegations, in fact a special investigation steam and 2012 has also given mr. moore the, the clean chit, the documentary failed to mention any or that. in fact, the document refers to a u. k. government report that claims that are in the us prime minister and then

chief minister or could draw noreen the more they had proactively stop the police from preventing the riots, acumen dri, has lots of question marks and not so loop pull it's constituting, it does not mention these basics, the supreme court would act on the sci fi team findings. this saw report and fact was prepared by a team that was headed by the then foreign secretary of the you care jack straw. but the question was, the british government holding an inquiry in india, india on a british colony, at least not often 1947. indians are outraged bbc's propaganda series on prime minister modi is aimed at denting his image. so they can as a state, broadcast or cast doubts on india's current foreign policy. our stance on russia or

our trade deals with middle east is upsetting the west. they're all hands on deck, the sole back fire. and not the 1st time that the west has published, such reports that rico for colonial mindset. remember, india belong, has been complaining about the coverage that it gets in the west and press take, for instance, that time magazine, color divider and chew. but india also gives it back again. and again, take a look at this previously recorded bbc interview with mr. moore the he's was there more relevant than ever and would say it as a human roller as a jew, internet human john, dr. pre just single members vino, vaudeville monroe dog, your british as will not be joseph mondays, but the brits, they're worried about human rights when millions of indians were dying during british rule. take, for instance, the on red zone massacre or the big old famine where millions of indians were dying

from style wishon. while the brits were busy transporting indian green till the you care. no apology till this, by the way. you can't possibly blame mister more. the for not being willing to take a lesson of morality in human rights from them. in fact, india, under the leadership of mr. moore, the in the last few years, has been extremely fearless. the latest example of india defying western sanctions and precious to condemn rochelle, offensive in ukraine. but it looks like the west and the u. k. i simply not getting the point, but india has reiterated that it doesn't want other countries for king than knows in, in dallas. matters so, surprisingly enough right now in africa, you'll find the us treasury secretary, janet jaelyn. she is on an 11 day tour of the continent. she'll be stopping at at senegal, zambia, later south africa that she's described,

the visitors stepped towards further economy co operation. the united states is committed to building on africa, significant progress in economic development over the past few decades. africa successful means success for all of us and the united states is here as a partner to help africa realize its massive economic potential. well, in contrast, african media outlets have been saying the true purpose of janet yelton's trip is to promote washington's interests over the already strong ties. the continent house with both china and russia. let's learn more arty africa correspondent, catabolic tac last data. the us treasury secretary jenna g. ellen will touch down in the west african state of senegal. this friday. it's all part of jo biden's intention and campaign promise to give more focus to africa over the next 2 years. yellows message will mirror event of how calling you as secretary of state anthony

blinkin, who was on his african safari. last year in august, yolande will highlight the strides that the continent has made over the last couple of decade, while also emphasizing that the united states is a pot and i, and a friend to the continent. the irony here, of course, is that the african continent has developed in spite of america's absence and neglect. africa would not be weighed, is today without the massive chinese investment in infrastructure and mineral resources. but the visit is also part of a larger contest of influence on the continent. the us government sees the growing influence of other superpowers, namely russia and china as a threat to american interest. here the view of the official u. s. africa strategy. the people's republic of china, by contrast, sees the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. advances own narrow commercial and geopolitical interests, undermine transparency and openness, and weaken

u. s. relations with african peoples and governments. russia views the region as a permissive environment for paras battles and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. the 3 country visit starting in senegal will also include zambia and south africa and it comes fresh on the heels of the us africa summit held early in december. president joe biden hosted over 14 african ahead of things in washington. and during the summit, his administration main deals and commitments to the tune of some $15000000000.00 over the next 2 years to the continent. which pales in comparison to the chinese quantum, like many african countries via is struggling with debt and the voted on is that repayment in 2020 is one of many african countries to apply to the g. 20, with nearly $13000000000.00 worth of debt to be restructured. and that the common

framework mechanics of the g 20 china holds a 3rd of zombie of debt. but despite that, the western line has been to vilify the eastern giant, even though the majority of them be of bed is held in width and intrusion in africa . the southernmost country, a growth resistant economy, is being further hampered by the growing intensity of pollock this by itself. because walls yet and is expected to push that old port. and these cabinets on the pace of transitioning from coal to glean energy sources. the united states is one of 5 countries. that's promised south africa. a point $5000000000.00 to bitch coal from green energy sources. but there's no such thing as a free lunch and weary africans will be looking out for the preconditions that the united states government is so well known for the government for our p. john is 10 parts be out here in moscow as ukraine's presidential office says,

a lack of coordination in the ukrainian security services led to the killing of a key of delegation member off of the 1st round of peace talks with moscow last year. it's also a report by the wall street journal, so the ukrainian national security service, the s b. you murdered denise korea on the claim that he was a traitor with an adviser to ukraine presidency. lensky has not confirmed. he actually wasn't one. well, you have, he is not a russian agent. his mother happened due to the fact that there was no unified coordination between the door enforcement agencies. there was sudden, claims against him that was not enough time to settle these claims in a dialogue format. they shot him dead in cold blood, dumped his corpse on the side of the road in the center of kiev, and accused him of spying for the russians. this was how you cranes security services rewarded. denise kit iv in march of last year for is invaluable help as an

informant. before and right after russia launched its military operation in ukraine, s b. u agents pulled up and ordered the military intelligence agents, and mister careers body guards to surrender their weapons. mister korea was directed to a mini van. his security detail lay prone on the street, is the van drove away. about 90 minutes later, the military intelligence agents were summoned to the spot where they found mister korea's body. turns out though, it was all a big mistake, days after he was killed, as a trader, k of was buried as a hero, next to ukraine's 1st foreign minister. after all, the guy helped keep negotiating team big time at the bellows cease. fire talks in march of last year, as they stalled rushes offensive with the illusion of good faith negotiations, ukrainian forces prepared for all our combat, according to ukrainian general today of even credited with tipping off key of about russia's military operation. the apparently told ukrainian intelligence that

russian forces thought to capture and tone of airport outside of kias and to use it to bring in reinforcements that heads up gave key, have enough time to prepare. the airport was rendered useless and the in suing battle. and this tip off is remembered as a moments that could have made or broken key as war effort. if it were not for mr. curious, most likely keith would have been taken extra judicial murder dumping the body in the street and not even bothering to conduct a small investigation. he definitely has an interesting way of saying thank you to it's most willing collaborators. the ukranian intelligence service is a force onto itself. it's not fully controlled by the korean government. vladimir zelinski, therefore, is not the person who's totally in charge. the s b, you seems to have a higher authority. and the case of dennis cure, correct, if it killed him, executed him on a street at point blank range without any kind of trial,

without any official inquiry on, on under its own authority, they killed a man who the government ukraine now says was actually a national hero, it suggests that the far right forces are operating as they please. in the ukraine, the government has only limited control over their activities, and it's afraid to, to exert its authority. it's afraid to bring such forces to heal. meanwhile, heavy fighting continues all along. the don bass front line russian troops coming closer to taking the key strategic city of thomas scott, also known as black mood. now, russian soldiers, including the don bass, established a ghost brigade of fighting to take control of the heights surrounding the village of sport and seizing those heights would open the rotors of air scan later to our cho mosque of both cities to pose key strategic significance for any future push to overtake the remaining don bass territories. and all the arabic senior

correspondent, sorry on her dia, has been observing rushing troops as they used tactical drones in the fight for sporting with fighting continues on the don best front line. the villagers for naya is under the crossfire of the russian forces. taking this territory opens the way to the city of savor sc. as you can see ukrainian troops located at 1.5 to 2 kilometers from us. here's an open spot, so i have to move fast so that the ukranian artillery doesn't fire at us. and we're not spotted by drones, as there are many here. so what we provide our troops with surveillance and artillery support. and together we slowly and steadily move forward for iraq and we'll see europe. drones play an important role in spotting the movements of ukrainian troops. the identification of targets allows artillery to shall the enemies fortify positions small, which gives the russian assault teams an opportunity to move forward

a bit lonely. this way, the artillery achieves great results with enemy trenches cleared and our guys are entering them when the enemy is suppressed. now we just hit the targets as planned, and my fierce fighting goes on here as well as across the whole front line. but we were foreign mercenaries fight side by side with ukrainian nationalists. though still globally, from my experience, when we faced both mercenaries, nationalists mostly prevailed. you can judge by the fact that i am standing here and talking to you with an at least a me a say things or now. yeah. and the high ground positions around it opens the way to savers for russian troops. that is an important city, just like our chillman bach moot. we're fighting intensifies as well as solid are, which was recently taken by the wagner group. it will further lead to striking ukrainian troops in the direction of love, yancey, and cromwell tours, sargon ha, dia r t de nets, republic, russia. ah,

you might be surprised to hear that less than 10 percent of western companies operating here in russia have actually left since the conflict erupted in ukraine. that is the result of us recent study by a swiss institute. let's learn more. right now is august. marina cause or ever joining us. her life is often in here in the studio. marina, always good to see you. i want to sound like devil's advocate here, but, but this data does seem to fry in the face of the western narrative that the west has cut all of its ties with russia. what do you know? s, and this is not a raw, some think tank that is producing this data because as we know, the west would like to accuse russia and save all. this is your thing tag saying this had, these are not, there are numbers, this is not the reality. but this is a swiss thing tank and i'll for a lot of numbers. are you right now? so basically we have, so it's less than 9 percent of companies left of russia. and if we break it down, there are the majority of those who remain our german american owned and then japanese. there, there is

a huge amount of companies that still stayed because of course i, it's not business as usual as it was before, but i guess money thus hawk and they are refusing to leave the companies that did leave. this study found that the reason they left is because they had lower profitability anyway. and they had a very large workforce here, which is one of the reasons why they decided to leave. so we have fewer than 18 percent of a u. s. companies left are 15 percent of japanese companies left and then we have 8.3 percent of e. you companies. all of that together is just less than 9 percent of the total number of subsidiaries that were in russia here before. and now again, we have the world, the economic, our forum, and i was taken place and we know that behind the scenes, officials have been talking about how much longer they can continue isolates in russia. this is the same a year in

a row when the russian officials are not attended because of the western sanctions . but behind the scenes, people are talking and said, how much longer can they was signed by isolates in russia, especially since it seems that russia is not doing that badly actually. and the sanctions are not having the desired effect. this is what we are here and behind the scenes a 2nd. listen. the sanctions didn't have the kind of immediate impacts that people in the west thought that they might have. russia is largely isolated from the west, but of course, it's not isolated from the rest of the world. the global south has neither condemned russia and it hasn't sanctioned russia. and this is not just anyone saying this, this is angela stance. who is not only a valued professor, she has served in the office of policy planning in the us state department, so she knows what she's talking about. and she's also an expert on russia. and she's saying that russia is manage and to circumvent these are sanctions. it's developing partners in china and india,

and it's still making money. and in some cases, even more money than it was before the special military operation began. so really surprising numbers to be honest with you, and it's from a swiss institute that through this research coming out now. so thus, you know, they will try and play neutral. so they, they state, they certainly seem to play neutral. some of the time of not tying a historic here well said indeed, but when you go back to this, i mean, so basically these numbers say that lesson 10 percent overall on average lesson 10 percent of foreign companies including western companies, left russia, less than 10 percent when the special military operation got underway, but didn't europe, didn't europe try to sever ties with russia? absolutely, it did the end. it's still trying to, but it seems that it's not prove impossible because we have another study. this one is not from switzerland. this is from brussels, or it's the brew gore thing tank and we have some graphs to take a look at right now. we can see that if we take a look at exports and, ah,

when it comes to russia, exports in goods. here we have graph number one, rushes, trade balance was selected. countries. if you can see the numbers there, it's still 4 times more right now than it was in it's 2020, for example. so russia is still exporting more and making 4 times more money than it did in 2020. and if we take a look at the same graph because he can break it down by countries by goods and in the european union, it has the same the same outlook than if we move on and take a look at fossil fuels. so exports of fossil fuels, and that's the, that to last. there we go. so the light blue at the bottom shows the e. u and russia, even though of course we can see a drop. but if we compare the numbers to 2019 or 2020, for example, we can see that russia is still making 4 times more money than it did even before the special military operation began. and that's again,

because russia not only are, were seen increases in prices, but also russia is making more money because of countries like china and india, we're seeing that relationship develop further. and also, we have seen russia investing in 2 african countries for several, if it's for several years now. and in general, russia's budget has, has gotten that more money we heard from alexander another classic lesson. recently a merge these 2, despite the actions by unfriendly states and the anti russian sanctions. over the past year, russia managed to extract as much as 535000000 tons of oils. it's 10000000 tons more than the 2021 figure. the exports have risen by 7 percent. and the state budget income from the oil and gas industry has increased by 28 percent. and then you remain the biggest buyer of fossil fuels still so we can see that even though they want to cut off russian isolated completely,

it seems that they can and they can stop all the countries from doing business with russia. when all the world is much bigger than the west, we have countries eager to do business with russia and fill in those gaps that the e use leaving behind. and as we can see, those gaps are not that big as they originally wanted to. because european companies and american companies are still doing business with russia, that might say they want to leave in their say we're leaving and for a loud statements like that, but fact speak for themselves. at least fights are from western thing times these facts. so they certainly do seem to blow a gaping hole in the west, a narrative of the mass, isolation of russia. marina cause a river, always good to see you. thank you. the russians or energy minister on a visit to pakistan, express his readiness to do was to move forward with the development of a shoot gas pipeline project called the pakistan stream. he delivered the comments during

a meeting with the pakistani prime minister about increasing russian energy supplies to the south asian country. and we heard directly from pakistan's petroleum administer about the growing energy ties between moscow and islam. about we have a long standing conversation, ongoing conversation about puck street. so the discussions are about that project, removing the discussions about the import of energy or ongoing. so really, if you look at it the, the projects are the big project that we're right now discussing is the energy security package. we import about 70000000 barrels of crude oil. so if we can have the russian crude flowing through our system, it would be very helpful. a significant chunk of europe is taking

energy from russia. and if you look at the quantum of energy that europe is taking reg know, from russia and compared to what part is done even in times to come the take, it's not even going to be a small fraction. our neighboring countries are taking energy, taking or taking gas from, from russia. so if europe is ok to take energy from the russian federation, and if our neighboring countries are quite okay, taking energy from russia, then i don't see any serious concern. we are about 220000000 people and we boys to grow to become about 349000000 people by by the 2050

right now in the region. we have lowest energy per capita utilization. that energy per, per cap. not only our population is going to increase, but our energy per capita utilization is also going to increase. therefore, if we want to increase gdp by 4 percent or 5 percent every year, which is what our target is, then we need to grow our energy needs by 7 to 8 percent minimum a year on year. so that just gives you a sense of what kind of energy needs we have and therefore, how important strategic energy partnership is for us. that's what russia is, setting up a massive new pipeline project with pakistan. and europe essentially cuts off russian energy. russia is energy moves, eastwards and europe still buys russian energy, but from east and sellers. don't you love today's politician program return in 25. ah,

the a recent interview, french intellectual, emmanuel, todd claims, the 3rd world war has already started. its epicenter is of course, ukraine, and it's a western war against russia and china. if this scholar is correct, then we can expect to be living in a very dangerous world. for a very long time. ah
