any kind of free legal power, and we'll see if we're not you have to take that by force a body so that you can erase all the international system. and i'm only happy i'm begging for all kinds of a that is my number 7 over there in the distance above the kilometer and a half. that is the last strong hold. all the lost hand, whole gradient on solid ice, the russian private military group. wagner advance is further along that done balance. front lines are correspond that meets that company, reports and how'd vague secure this strategically important type of solids are. also ahead. this, our noonish folks from united states is created a coalition and is using ukraine to wage a proxy war against russia. with the old aim of finding,

solving the russia question. russia's foreign minister stays the u. s. is seeking to destroy russia by waging a proxy war with its partners in the brain. and south africa seek sell, tentative as to the u. s. dollar in international trade. as it turns to that bricks group of countries for other options, with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly rti. i'm you know, need we began with the latest updates in the ukraine undone boss conflict where according to local officials, one mom has been killed following ukrainian shelling of the city of done yet. want to take years well to the neighboring zappa rosier reaching where a cemetery here you can see was reportedly targeted by ukrainian artillery despite

no russian military installation being in that area. earlier, the russian defense ministry reported its forces had gain control over a suburb. i saw the strategically important ton of solid door and that kias forces had suffered heavy casualties in the fighting solid door itself came under moscow's control last week, theoretically, paving the way for an advance on the major city of archer mosque, also known as the m. o d also recognised the wagner gripped contribution in securing solid dar ortiz, senior correspondent morocco, the visited the tale, and met with fighters from the russian private military company. a warning you may find some of the following footage, disturbing. ah,

this is solid, done. the city fell in just 2 weeks, or rather, was taken by the wagner, private military corp. the musicians as they are known. mm mm mm.

you will need lisa, so it was lively, city 5 and is wagner. speciality we have no equals, despite be the resistance. we took the city quickly, you quinn and nationalist held onto every building every street. but they yielded, they ran and surrendered testament to his words, a view pin and moves that have appeared and solider in every district packed with ukrainian bed in there, hundreds upon hundreds ukrainian soldiers. those killed in solid are left behind by the ukrainian military as it's retreated. 102-030-4056. it goes on and on. this is something harry sus, one of these soldiers off their corpses locked rigid in the position that they, they were in when they were killed. obviously you can see the details,

but some of them are missing limbs, others with food, bullet, wounds, shrapnel wound. it is difficult gathering the more at this time because as you can hear because of the continuing fighting, it doesn't end. the orchestra is relentless. they allow the enemy no rest. with the for this was one school which they turned in the fortifications from here. they felt badly or tried. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in chief said in all weather the ensemble attacks and attacks that is my number 7 over there. in the distance above the kilometer and a half, that is the last stronghold or the last handhold. gradient on solid are just

outside the city itself. otherwise, you credit troops have been forced back into the hills beyond solid up right now. an assault is on the way, the complex itself is, is all but surrounded. what's more, we've learned that the orchestra have taken hundreds of enemy troops, prisoner, not all of them ukrainian watching over there when there were a great many foreign mercenaries as well as foreign weaponry. oh, if it was seized and sent to be checked for damage on the whole, the cities call. sometimes he crane, artillery will fire at us. you can hear the explosions on the whole. it's. we are ready for morrison. solid god is neither that 1st law clyde no triumph. wagner has proved itself calm and time again. it is a machine of war,

spawned in violence, tempered by battle witted by blood, and endlessly hungry for more, more at gasdio, r t. solid. meanwhile, ukraine's 1st lady how struggle to justify the rise of ultra and nationalist sentiment in her country. while speaking of the world economic forum in davos, she claimed the extremist views being witness including up from neo nazi groupings, where in response to russia's offensive. when that is potentially began the aggression by calling us nationalists. but in ukraine there were not as many nationalists as there are now after the full scale russian invasion, biggest nationalism as the response to the aggression. you begin to defend your nationality, your nation from the aggressor at times when there is no aggressor, the national sentiments and not a strong. so they brought it to the point that all of our children are going to be

nationalists. well, ukraine has a long history of far right groups, leading it so called volunteer units. before the conflict started. western media used to talk about it. no, not so much. one of the most infamous is the as off battalion, which uses new nazi symbol is a minute. so facial branding, it's part of the ukranian armed forces and includes thousands of members. human rights groups of accused ass off on the similar a door, a battalion of multiple war crimes against civilians. an additional point in no tear, many of president zelinski fits from his now world famous t shirts, trousers and fleece jackets are made by a ukrainian company known as m. tak their clothing lines. feature symbols used by ultra nationalists, ukrainian battalions, the so called morale. patches include the widely known neo nazi black son embedded

between norse mythology references. while another clearly features a slavic swastika. i spoke earlier to geopolitical analysts, george selma. wally of the global policy institute, the phase western powers. i've turned a blind eye to widespread extremist sentiments in ukraine whereas which professors to be anti nationalists, but it's very selective about which nationalism they like and they don't like. so. ukrainian nationalism is a bar, is driven by a pathological hatred of russia, russian russian, this russian culture. they liked it because they saw this is something that they could use. and they will, they, they look the other way. why did they do that? because they saw this ukraine in nationalism is something as a useful weapon that they can against russia. and they did it. they've been essentially turning ukraine into essentially

a kind of anti russian aircraft carrier with its guns target to the russian. we know that russia maybe didn't do anything about ukraine, didn't even do anything about crimea until the 2014 qu, which was led by a very rabid nationalist. now, russia's foreign minister sir gil, offer off how they choose the us of enslaving europe to fulfill its strategy. of global supremacy, and using ukraine to wage a proxy war against moscow. to youngsters for united states has created a coalition of nearly all european member states of nato and the a you and is using ukraine to wage a proxy war against russia. with the old aim of finally solving the russia question like hitler who sought a final solution to the jewish question,

sir de la rob did not. men says words calling out the west, dirty tactics as it attempts to stop the global shift in power. he started by addressing the us versus them mentality from the joint declaration on e u natal corporation, which was just signed on january 10th aimed at protecting it's 1000000000 citizens as it states, she was gonna lose the rest of the world to quote, high representative the e u for foreign affairs and security policy shows at barrow is a, a jungle that stifles progress in the garden and must therefore be reformatted, adjusted to their needs and turned into new style colonies in order to use new methods to ruthlessly pump out resources from them these methods are all too familiar and include demonization, blackmail, sanctions, threats of force and much mold on the west course on destroying traditional ties between historical partners in different regions and for augmenting. andy, stabilizing them, has become more salient. we can see this in the balkans and in the post soviet

space. when asked if russia was not the same in crane, sir gala, rob reminded everyone for the umpteenth time that russia did what it did as a matter of national security. when it became clear, what he crane and the west has been planning for years versus just with many europeans believe that russia did not show its best site when it launched the facilities that the zoom just while the other part is conscious like the united states do they bumped and a half of the plan is volatile national law to cease territories. it is rumored, the turkish threatened greece in the jan. see them? what are your arguments against these to you? so, so that i will not argue, i will simply put forth my view. you said that it did not show its best side when it started the special military operation. this is interesting phrasing. the united states is invaded other countries territories about $300.00 times. in most instances, they did this because somebody had offended the americans as it is happening all the time in central america and the caribbean,

or to eliminate threats to peace and security. of course comparisons can be made, but we defended our security. ukraine was being turned into a bridge head for attacking russia and undermining our interest. second, the humiliation of russians whose rights were guaranteed in the ukrainian constitution is unacceptable. the 2014 qu, which was inspired by the west, was not followed by any attempt to launch a national dialogue in ukraine. the west, unequivocally took the side of the regime, which immediately declared his ante, russia goals, and its commitment to the nazi theory and practices. by bombing done yet, scandal, ganske. nobody is investigating these crimes, no tribunals are established, and nobody is even considering this psychological repeat that the importance of respecting the law of equality and self determination, which prompted an emotional question from one of the journalists. you talked about respect for the un charter watts respect for international law. will you showing

when you sent troops into ukraine and every the 24th russians talk? diplomat explained that under the un charter countries must respect the territorial integrity of states representing the entire population of their countries. and like his regime does not represent the interests of the entire population. and that, that being persecuting a large portion of their population for years prompting the ministry spokesman to jump in. buffalo. as for the grants, i believe journalist from crimea dumbass would be equally emotional if for h. yes, they could have asked the same questions that are now being asked by anglo saxon media outlets, but they were not allowed. they were denied these us in accreditation to similar nice in francis in the west. by the way, our credited journalists, who are also denied the possibility of not only asking questions, but even attend in such an absence. it takeaway of the process that there are for foreign minister says that once friendly nations have taken their masks off, expressing his surprise at the speed nations like italy and greece signed up for

the anti russian sanctions and rhetoric bandwagon. and he adds, this model is now looking to be copied with russia's other allies, like china and india was pursued a usefulness. you asked me whether we have any information on western attempts to so discord in our relations. this information is in plain view and is right there in the public domain. the united states drops its strategy, including the national security doctrine and the declaration on nato. you cooperation, this thing, russia and china in them, there is a small new on. so they view russia and is immediate threat that they need to deal with right now. well, designating china as the main long term, serious and system wide challenge. many independent observers wrote that the americans and europeans and making a mistake by trying to contain both russia and china at the same time. they probably think that they are capable of doing this. the united states would never have done this on its own use. the americans cannot carry out their policy of

dominance, which primarily consists of constraining russia and china on their own. it is for this reason that they need the western count to be fully mobilized. a partial mobilization would no longer suffice. and this is what they're doing right now. this demonstrates yet again, that they have almost run out of steam in their effort to count the objective historical trend, marked by the emergence of a multi poder well daughter. so ukraine is a pop out of the west to europe as blindly following the u. s. who is trying to, we can develop and nations create rifts between russia and its allies. just to make sure it stays on top. that's the bottom line of the states of the world's foreign affairs, and when seats wency to, according to russia's for ministry. now the process of di dollar eyes ation, appears to be picking up pace, particularly among bricks countries. the south africa, foreign minister, is the latest senior official to openly call for an alternative to the greenback in

international trade. we've always been concerned at the fact that there is a dominance of the dollar and that we do need to look until tentative. i think this is one of the reasons why we created a new development bank of bricks. the minister also condemned a u. s. bill designed to punish african countries for having any cooperation with russia, describing the american initiative as a violation of international i believe the girl should really be killed her 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 drafter of the initial legislation and indicated our fence with which we view this particular proposed piece of legislation. it's called that

malign russian activities in africa act what we in africa called the anti african bill. and those were the words that have been used by several commentators to describe exactly what happened last year in the house of representatives in the united states. the bill got an overwhelming majority support in congress infected with bipartisan winning by some 419 volt to 9 and it was passed through. but the interesting part is what happened to that bill if it was slightly seem to be going through is way to the senate and then throw them up as a head, a working visit to the united states. and he and his father and his foreign minister doctor in a lady ponder poor, did squarely to the americans that 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 ceramic was a late last year in november. it was said by some of the officials in the white house that, that president a joe biden will take as much time as possible to delay this bill to make sure that it never ends up on his desk to possibly try and stop it with in 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 briggs membership and south africa has been really keen to really leverage on some of the memberships that you find within break to make them come up issues that are rather continent wide. they've continuously encourage the chinese to invest more on the continent. and continuously look towards russia as part of the military fortification of south african army. and here is melody 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 briggs, which they will be holding until the end of the year. we very thrilled that the progressive 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 a changing field politics and almost a unique pull polar framework where one of 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 breaks offers that on turn. because we don't force ideas for anyone. we discuss corporation, we see global amity. we see more and more that russia is getting and faced 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 hell region with some of the numerous countries that have been, you know, really taken over by the insurgency and as long as extremism that has been part of that region. and is not surprising. but the lady ponder, picked this moment to given this interview because she's always been measured, always been deliberate, and never gives an interview for its own fake. now, with the u. k. economy going on, something of a financial roller coaster ride last year and made repeated political upheaval is perhaps no surprise. the rich are seeking commer economic waters. a new study by a leading consultancy firm has revealed a 1000000000 or is pack their bags and swap. the country for the middle east and asia in 2022 not comes on top of bigger figures. it, it detects the total amount of high net worth individuals quitting the u. k to

12000 in the past half a dozen years. the biggest exodus was in 2017, when 4000 millionaires up sticks for alternative climes. according to the study, the u. e is now the destination of choice, enjoying the largest inflow of millionaires in the world. last year. leslie comes as london has increasingly found ways to bypass private property rights for foreigners. wealthy russians have find themselves a particular target. since the start of the conflict in ukraine, russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly stressed the risks of keeping money abroad even warming 20 years ago. not to place too much trust in european economies . you see as no annual a garage door. there's every reason to believe that the use of funds placed in offshore zones will be tightened. i'm not saying that they will be frozen tomorrow, but if a decision of this kind with different variations is made, excuse me,

for the plain language, you will swim against the tide running around the course and attempts to unfreeze these funds. well, let's get some perspective on all this on speak to independent journalists, look reweigh in brussels, a pleasure avenue in the program, look. so there we have it at millionaire is continuing to pack their bags and turned their backs on the u. k. what does that say? about the current financial state of the country. well, it is not that bad actually, and it's not because of brakes. it got this, people are leaving. it's because of what you just said. the fact that freedom disappears that, that are more and more controls. let's not speak about russian multi millionaires of course, so they are not very much like for the long term europe, but it's true for people from all origin. some in freedom in economy is disappearing for people for finances, international finances for on

a businessman own they prefer probably to go elsewhere and not to t e. u, as was said, am this article or implying that breaks because of bricks that the people go back to europe. now it's not that by the way, 1000000 euro 1000000 british pound is not that much nowadays. so it is multi millionaires. it should be said of these people go as you describe to on the middle east to the young, to, to the united arab emirates. so obviously, and also to places like singapore, nation, other places where it is much better on the climate. it's much better for, for the economy, for business in general, where fiscally, he is much lower. the problem of the u. k. in europe is that we have been killed by a cannibal fis county. you know, that eats up half the revenue somehow and even more. oh,

think simply of the 20 percent. 21 percent. ve 18 on any product. which means one 5th of the price, which has gone without thinking of the fiscal content of what the company is producing that product at to base. so you're not the state takes back of the large majority of money that is made by that. that is generated by the com and it's never enough own with cove it with the sanctions on russia that make it a terrible crisis in europe nowadays on we are getting, it's getting worse for europeans, for business in europe, for businessmen, for investors in europe. so they tried to go elsewhere, it's a slow move, but a regular and they will go more and more so with the de dollarization. it will become easier to invest elsewhere and use all the currency to do so. and so i think it will contin. it's an interesting one, isn't it?

they that brags a thing. you see a lot of headline saying this is because of how a british people voted. but as you mentioned, they're not going to at financial hubs like the used to go 20 years ago. paris and milan, it's the, it's the rise of the east. that's where they're following. in terms of the city itself, though london's always been considered one of the world's major financial centers. for whatever reason this exodus is happening, does it risk the losing that status? no. will certainly remain a financial center in the world, but it will lose its dominance. it's absolute dominance. you see it for many things . you know i'm in belgium and fob was the center for on the on the diamond m street not so anymore. yellow, it's in india, you still have a lot in ad for, for the nicest stones coming from russia by the way, many of them. but um, it has moved to india and to asia. so it's the same in,

in most of the traditional hubs of richness that we had in europe. it's slowly disappearing. it's some, i don't say the end of the european economy, but it saw clearly sense the ukraine crisis started after cove. it, i think it is the turn around it, it's so it's a bad situation setting in, in europe for the long term. it does seem though they, you know, you have the conservatives who are supposed to be business friendly for the past. 1213 years in britain, and there's endless remarks about the wealth, the how they are affecting their country in a negative light. if that continues, you have to look at the social benefit system and brittany, or they choose the expense of any, a chess, low income families, a benefit system, relatively higher than most other countries. how are they going to pay for that? as if the tax is leaving, you know, a lot of the taxes leaving yes,

a lot of the taxes leaving and demography is not there to sustain the system. it was built after the war on demography, on the sas that we pay for the past actions of those who are retired now, et cetera. look at france, look at germany everywhere. we have this problem off democracy that makes it, that we don't know how we will pay pensions in 203040 years if it continues like that. so they need to do something. but for scarlet, he is already so high that they can't. and so that there is a huge problem in europe because the model is failing. i, the exit is, comes luke out a time. you mentioned when foreign investors increasingly have find themselves the target of sanctions, russian entrepreneurs. chiefly among them, do you see a link with that kind of demon possession to what's happening that this, this leaving of, of wealthy people in britain maybe you haven't heard, but in france of last week on the left, a new pest in all the,

the association of all left parties and had a big girl, po, am down. one of the leaders said, we don't want any billionaires in france, any ball. we don't want them. while good luck folks, when they will have gone. you know, that's credible. how stupid can baby we don't want 1000000000 as in france anymore . on, you know, althea h d, the luxury goods that are made in charles should be made in china. okay, fine. thank you folks and good bye. so these sorts of decorations in britain, in france, in other places, are awfully stupid because some, it's anti business, it's rarely sour and showing that people have not understood the way the economy functions and all the time, the u. e, as in, thanks very much. we'll take, we'll take your cash, aren't they? and other countries as well across asia and the middle east. look, thanks very much for your time to always appreciate lucrative,

a independent journalist live on arts. ok, that was a recap of the week. that was don't go too far as our programs are said to get going in moment, see what showing wherever you are today. right ahead, bye for now. ah ah ah ah.
