of one and a half 1000000 algerians. a with western defense chiefs discuss new arm supplies to ukraine, where he had another huge usa package and, but there's still no decision by germany on whether to send its corporate leopard times. we go live tour at r t contributor for more not in moments, also on the program. today with the indian foreign ministry slums, a controversial b c documentary about prime minister in november movie, claiming it promotes a colonial mindset. less than 10 percent of western companies have left russia since they conflict began in ukraine's. those

findings coming from us with friday, january the 28th at 8 pm here in moscow. welcome to the global news rhonda up on our team just a few moments ago. a un security council meeting convened by moscow to discuss atrocities committed by ukrainian troops in recent years. and don bos, wrapped up at the very same time that was taking place, america's defense secretary spoke about the need to send yet more lethal aid to keith lloyd austin. made the remarks that the u. s. running or a base entropy while the discuss this further, let's cross lot of talk to contribute a, rachel marston, rachel. good to see you. we're constantly seeing, we're constantly hearing western countries promising you have more weapons,

more military aid. that seems to be bearing fruit for t if now what's on the table this time around. while all eyes were on the tanks issue, this time around, it doesn't look like ukrainian president vladimir zalinski will be getting the latest and greatest german and u. s. tanks, which are right at the very top of his wish list right now. so no shiny new toys, just a lot of the hand me downs that had already previously been announced. now all eyes were also on nato defense ministers as they met at this ramstein airbase, near frankfort. on friday. you asked his friend secretary lloyd austin, basically just use the opportunity to ask america's allies to tossed more cash into the pot for the u. s. military industrial complex. oh, i mean, ukraine military support spoken like a true board member temporarily refused for 4 years by the way. and

stockholder that he is now, canada actually did that by the way, canada bought a u. s. made miss how the bed system as a gift to ukraine. so they're basically throwing money at the u. s. military industrial complex for ukraine. and now austin announced all the western allies that are also donating their old us patriot missile systems to ukraine. gas. that means that the us needs to make more to replace them for their allies. how about that? i had of this meeting there. is there been a lot of pressure on berlin, notably from ukraine and from some of its european allies to cough up leopard 2 tanks, which no country can re export under german law without berlin's permission and berlin's position has been that it will budge on the issue unless washington sends its abrams tanks 1st. so germany is basically been telling the u. s. i won't jump unless you do and the u. s. is looking at germany and saying no,

you go 1st. so they're both just kind of staying there at the edge of this cliff with no one willing to take the lead on this tank issue. now as recently as this week, there were report, citing senior had to gone officials, including under secretary for defense policy calling call, who said that washington simply wasn't ready to take that leave of sending tanks abram tanks to keep citing maintenance and training issues. now even nato supreme allied commander, europe, u. s. secretary or u. s. general christopher can volley said this week of western tanks, quote, there is not a particular weapon system that is a silver bullet. a balance of all systems is needed. so these statements by actual u. s. military experts clearly diverged from the ideologically driven take of politicians who keep framing western tanks as some kind of magic solution for military victory for ukraine over russian forces. but even joint us joint chiefs

had general mark. milly said last november, he was at this press conference to on friday by the way, ballasa member. he was saying the probability of ukrainian military victory defined as kicking the russians out of all ukraine to include what they claim is crimea is not high militarily and mili added at the time, quote, president biden. and president zalinski himself has said that at the end of the day will be a political solution. but on friday, zelinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministers meeting in germany . poland prime minister mateus mar wiki even said on thursday that either warsaw gets berlin's permission to send its leopard tanks to ukraine. or they'll just go ahead and do it calling consent, a quote to secondary importance. nice example of european unity there when it comes to being careful about potential escalation. apparently it's o cater runaround off leash as long as their hearts in the right place. it's like the drivers slams on

the brakes. trying to play hero to a pedestrian waned across the street, not realizing that he's going to get a whole lot of people run over and kill that this chivalry act by the hey, what exactly is this all this talk of tanks, world war one. since when did tanks without air supremacy when anything lately, if only this crowd could see fit to put as much time and effort into resolving the conflict peacefully as they are in serving up words, salad and paying lip service in response to whatever demands he. if tarzan rich, thanks so much for taking us through that archie, contribute our rachel martin life on the program. the bbc is peddling a narrative. again, those are the words from the indian external affairs minister after a new documentary was released by the channel that summer calling a hit piece on the current indian prime minister. if 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 in the agenda behind it. and frankly, we did not wish to dignify such efforts. the boys lack of subjectivity and continued colonial mindset is blatantly visible. maybe these 2 part 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 about the 2000 to which arthritis and marines are more. these, your, in the violence in his home state don't show that 2000 to withdraw thrive, or the worst. edwards community rides 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 whole not being able to cobb the while and, but the supreme court of india has rubbish. all those allegations, in fact

a special investigation theme and 2012 have also given mr. moore the clean chit, the document to face to mention any or that. in fact, the document read efforts to you kid government report that claims that india prime minister and then chief minutes. so all could draw, knowing the more they had proactively stop the police from preventing the riots. oh humans. we have lots of question marks and lots of new paul is considering it does not mention these basics, the supreme court date or the s i p team findings. this report, in fact, was prepared by a team that was headed by the then foreign secretary of the u. k. jack straw. but the question was, the british government holding an inquiry in india in down the british colony, at least not often 1947. indians are outraged bbc's

propaganda theories on prime minister modi is aimed at damping 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. this whole back fire and not the 1st time that the west has published, such reports that rico for colonial mindset. remember in there for long has been complaining about the coverage that it gets in the western press take, for instance, that time magazine cover divider in chief. but india also give it back again. and again, take a look at this previously recorded b, b c interview with mr. moore the he's, was there more relevant than ever someone say it as a human or a jew, john,

try to please just the human being over them. and i thought we were british as we're not reach of mandates, but the brits, they were worried about human rights when millions of indians the dying during british rule take for instance, the sudden massacre or the bing all famine where millions of indians dying from starvation. while the brits were busy transporting indian green to the u. k. no apology for days by the way. you can't possibly blame mr. moore the for not being willing to take a lesson, a 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. believe his example of india defying western sanctions and pressures to condemn rochelle is offensive in ukraine. but it looks like the west and the u. k. i simply not getting the point, but india has reiterated that he doesn't want other countries. paul king then knows

in dallas mottos a key anniversary and crimea as autonomy is marked to day. 32 years ago with the republic overwhelmingly voted in a referendum to restore its autonomous status on the 20th of february 199193 percent of crimean voted in favor of the move the region gone to its status within the ukrainian solving republics in and when the u. s. s. r collapse soon after which crimea remained autonomous. part of an independent ukraine, while in 2014, the republic voted for its re unification with russia. while let's discuss the day and its significance with former british diplomats on or 3rd, william rollinson who is most welcome to the program. how significant was that referenda back in 9991,

william for crimea bits people the 1st referendum, one of the 20th of january is the one that counts and it says it all. i think it was 94 percent actually not 93. that said, yes, that's the people speaking. what more needs to be said on the united nations law? extremely important. i think off to in the crime in parliament and the state sovereignty for the crimea as a constituent part of ukraine. but there was no referendum, so that was a, that's a tricky one. so when the referendums replace the $922.00 treaty took place on the whole of the soviet union and in march couple months later approved by 80 percent. but without the parties paid them, i think the baltic states armenia, georgia, most of you know,

lead to place and then to the solution that leads me to think that the whole question is somewhat if the legalistic lee and the thing that counts is that referendum on the 20th of january would say that all. moreover, we know that 2014, we know about the plans to, to work against anything that reeks of the russian language and the russian people, which includes crimea. so my view is that the crimea should have had nothing to do with ukraine anyway. and i do think that was, it was a mistake made in 1954, i think wasn't a window in them. so it didn't get, gave it temporarily how you might view to, to ukraine. that was a funny thing to do, especially since the crimea. so, so, so been russians are so, so long and had the biggest black c fleet. so i go for the i

stick to the referendum, 94 percent. the most important factor in the whole, or because it's the people talking. yeah. as you said, crimea, well, criminal has a long history of aspiration to become an atomic republic. what's the main historical reason behind out in your view? historically was a crime once upon a time. crimea was part of the original cave and rose, which was essentially brushed some slabs plus veranda. jay who became completely russian of a few 100 years. you see. and it was very, very big, but then with all the middle age invasions among gold and then the horrible jealousy of the polish lives against the russians. the poland, po, insurance increased dramatically in the area and in the whole area. and so

that's the key. it became a mess which detracts from the status of the of the current board is ukraine. me rather artificially created anyway, the results of big powers coming through 3 minutes after various was great work. and the 2nd one that you, i hope so. so historically, the crimea, once it became russian russian, that each each it remained russian as we see from, from the right results of the referendum. so that, that's what counts that here's a william mal incentive, former british civil not in north or on r t. william many, thanks for your thoughts today that god bless. bye bye. thanks. none other story to tell you a bytes less than 10 percent of western companies operating in russia have actually left since the conflict started in ukraine. that's the findings of the study bias

with the institute which my colleagues research she a marina culture ever talk through earlier. what we have is that less than 9 percent of companies have left the russian market. and from those we have of course, american ones, european ones and japanese firms. the one stop stayed behind, the majority of them are german and closely followed by american and again we have the japanese and all this of course comes as we have politicians and business lead meeting in switzerland at the world economic form in davos 2nd year in the row, where we are not seen of russian business men, russian officials, thoughts, they are the talk of the town if you will, because apparently behind the scenes everyone is talking well, how much longer can we continue isolating a roster from the global arena? because obviously it's not only facts wiring on them,

but it's also not having the desired effect. it's not we can in russia because russia is getting more investment now from countries like china and india, and even western officials are now discussing this. and experts, 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. we're seeing more and more people saying that russia is literally still making money better time to make an even more money than it did before. the special military operation began because, of course, russia is speaking out, more partners is looking for the e. something that we've been discussing for very long time. fine is eager to do business with russia. india is eager to do business, and vasa, russia has also been investing in african countries for several years now, just wanting to start, didn't europe try to sever ties with russia? it did, of course, and there were,

we have these sanctions. it's now it's been 8 years, but russia has been looking for solutions, been looking for ways out. but now there is another study that i want to talk about . and this one causes not from switzerland but from brussels. and we can take a look at one of those graphs, for example. the 1st one is russia's trade balance with selected countries. and we can see from those numbers that actually trade has not gone down. if you compare it sits when seen 19, for example, 2020. yes. overall, if we compare it to say a year ago, yes, we can see that friend is downwards, but money wise, russia is macon $4.00 times more money now than it did in 2020. let's take a look, for example, ads, a figure 8, save from their charts. this is destination of russia's fossil fuel exports among 34 countries. and we can see once again that the trend that yes recently since the special military operation began, we can see a downward trend. but compare the money going in to ross's coffers from said

2020 and now still making money more money than it did before. so we can see that it's not really working out and also rushes budget. it's getting bigger, it's getting fatter. we saw that in these, despite the actions by unfriendly states and the anti russian sanctions from over the past year, russia managed to extract as much as 535000000 tons of oil. it's 10000000 tons more than the 2021. figure the exports have risen by 7 percent of it in the state budget income from the oil and gas industry has increased by 20 percent of the woman. maybe they don't want to do a business. so with russia, the european union, ah, the united states, they're saying they're throwing all these loud statements. we don't want to do business for vasa after the special military operation. but facts speak for themselves. not many companies have left russia and russia is making a more money than it did before the special military operation began. so that's not

really working out, is it, rory? ok, what could be a pretty sizable development? the russian embassy in the u. s. has condemned to washington recent announcement that confiscated outsets of russian citizens are set to be transferred to ukraine. there is not only an obvious disregard of generally accepted legal norms, but also a breach, a fundamental american values which erroneous lee seemed unshakable. first of all, those related to the protection of private property rights. however, such dangerous precedence serve to discredit the united states as a bastion, a free enterprise. alright, some background to this, the u. s. department of justice earlier stated it had, sees $30000000000.00 and assets from russian entrepreneurs. washington had already frozen $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bike. back in april 2022. president biden proposed that congress authorized selling outsets don't

belong to russian citizens, but u. s. law does not permit authorities to sell foreign property. economist political analyst ikea hummer, say the u. s. is going against the democratic principles, it holds so dearly with these depth the most important thing is if you are not guaranteeing property ownership anymore under the u. s. law, then you destroyed the fundamentals of old democracy and free market economy that the united states and all the lease want to be we have, we in germany have not forgotten that germany was sanctions but sanctioned by the us to. so doesn't mean that german would be, could be see in the u. s. too many inhabitants from the l. e will move away from the u. s. to because it will be too dangerous to keep any property in the us or in

the, in the hands of where the u. s. can, can put their fingers on. so i think when they really are going to watch this step, this will hit spec tremendously and with this could be really the end of the, of the convincing system of the u. s. market economy or the u. s. freedom or the us democracy. the u. s. national guard is reportedly providing training to tie one's armed forces us washington's concerns over a perceived chinese threat growth. according to media reports, military training started in early 2022. when the time, when the president commented on the cooperation of the us national guard and ty pays defense forces, the american force is able to be mobilized the discretion of washington. the us

national guard has also played a role in training the ukrainian military as well. and soldiers have been trained on the special program since 2014 by nato allies, to boost the combat readiness, cooperation. twinkie and the guard is said to remain strong. as the conflict continues. however, the vice chairman, the shanghai center for impact and international studies, nelson wong told our see, the washington priority isn't the interest of other countries in any way. all the one hand that us about the white house has been telling beijing that we do not support independence. i want we recognize the one china policy. but in the meantime, they're also, you know, creating a lot of taishan across the street. so, you know, all these fabricated china threats is they come from nowhere. it's quite

obvious that all they want to achieve is to maintain its role as the only ball all over the world because they want to control the rest of the world for its own. you know purpose to serve its. ready purpose. so this is, this is why put bluntly, they want to remain as the only superpower. however, we also realize that outside forces like us, is trying to, to interfere into the domestic affairs of china. so, but the chinese wisdom is not to engage in a direct confrontation but also set the lives quite clearly. cancer hospitals in the war torn, middle east country of yemen, are suffering from a shortage of life, saving medicine and equipment. let's go through what we know here. over 80000 patients,

there are registered on seeking treatment with the national oncology center. and within $6000.00 new patients reportedly joined the queue each year. the national cancer center director general says many unnecessary debts have been caused by the lack of easy access to vital care lead, looking more vital sexes in the country have been completely paralyzed during the years in the war. now we can only get 2 kinds of medicines for cancer patients because of the blockade. most companies have just not returned to them in that you to many difficulties including transportation issues where you can't deliver medicine a safely and appropriate conditions. the closure of apples and ports is the worst thing that's happened to our country. this caused the death of many patients who were deprived of the medicine. amber also prevented from traveling abroad for treatment medicine arrives at high cost, and in many cases it arrives unfit for use youtube or transportation like that you were available to the car. well, the armed conflict in yemen have been raging for the past. the 8th and

a half years after a saudi arabian led military coalition intervened in the country, the war has displaced more than 4000000 people from their homes and devastated the economy and basic health care services. cancer patients have urged for health and aging em. lemme so for the me, a surface has become almost nonexistent due to the aggression that targeted the country and its civilians. and in addition to the blockade and asked shrikes with some form, a shortage of medicines. and this cost, if qualified medical staff, because many of them have traveled to broad massage for better patina. tish, the cell is an angler, were facing difficulties in all aspects, including shortage of madison's would. a man the international community provide. madison has undergoes weight and suffer from a huge shortage of them. i only have one. do i tell him robin? okay, before we go, let's go high. very high. that because the 1st space walk of the new year is under way right now we believe out international space station 2 astronauts are set to

spend roughly at 6 and a half hours on the mission. and what you're seeing here is some of the latest footage sent back to earth. and you can see now says nicole mum, together with japanese i showed at kaci what counter here working on the foreign oddly station star board, your structure in their special motility unit. so look for it. also installing a kit to enable the future installation of a rule like solar array that would push the stations power supply. ah incredible. every time you see images like that is that on that is where the news bulletin finishes up. for now, i'll be back in just over 30 minutes with more this friday from moscow. richard global news, ronda more programs right ahead. stay with for teachers. ah

ah. by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british empire. the colonial authorities had imposed that heavy death bringing the people into poverty and were exporting natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the provisions of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizens. the british were showing signs of disrespect even to those who cooperated with them. the fact of ignoring the religious beliefs of the hindus led to the mutiny of the sea boys, mercenary soldiers serving under the british crown. rebellion began on the 10th of

may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india. in the form of a mutiny. the rebels quickly took over daily. the heroic resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal. the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels cruelly. the enslaved c boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. these type of execution was called the devil's when the obliteration of the mutiny resulted in the death of 800000 inhabitants of india. however, the british empire never broke the free spirit of the indians and their will for resistance. mm ah,

ah. for my daughter goes said den, but i.
