in the history of mankind with the headlines right now and our team to national iran reportedly summons ukrainian diplomat for questioning off the ukraine's presidential adviser says, an attack on iran would be expect to see that made claims it's provided support ruffles, really trip found full of the countries right, expect them not to interfere in the bilateral relations between pakistan and russia . thought department if the saying that the cooperation between his mom about on moscow continues covering energy, trade and infrastructure projects. the country does face of the energy problem supplied. crippling western sanctions of the southern african nation,

all as in bob way gets a big economic food from trade with china. and we hear from zimbabwe information minister about what drives weston olive we are under with an attack, will be in the loan feed, is the analysis that rise wanted to can placement with your company for this. i was program live from moscow. let's get straight to your top stores right now. so iran has reportedly summoned a senior ukrainian diplomat in the country of a controversial comments bind advisor to ukraine's president. this coming in the wake of a drone attack on a military facility in iran, in a post on twitter. the key of officials said it was no surprise. iran was attacked in mid western claims of the as lomberg republic provided support for russia's military operation in ukraine. war logic is inexorable and murderous.

it builds the author and accomplishes strictly panic and russian federation. endless mobilization missile defense in moscow. trenches 1000 kilometers away. bomb shelters, preparation, explosive night, and rum drawn. and miss l production oil refineries. ukraine did warn you, or let's try shed some light on this right now without is equal to john of joining us live this afternoon here in the studio as always, great to see you eager to. so what we know here is basically a drug attack on an iranian military facility, very little details, frankly, of, of about coming out. but we do know that a ukrainian ambassador has been summoned reportedly by officials and ron. so my point is, how did we get here? well, absolutely, the story is kind of weird in the details and really just in the yet. so we have to, we have to tread carefully here. this is what i mean to say. unlike what the ukranian advisor to the president who's lensky did when he went on twitter and just

rambled on twitter and openly gloated about this attack against iran. and so really, it's no surprise. but right now, apparently the deputy ambassador is being summoned into iran for questioning because look at it from the following perspective. like you, ron is not attributing any blame, like the ron is not blaming anyone for this just yet. nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack to it, but it is not just a bit weird. it's not, i mean it's not strange. i mean the moment something like this happens, officials and whichever country it happens and they come out, they explain what happened and they cost blame. you're telling me that this hasn't been attributed to any, any group. no, not, not if you will, if you look at the reports been yes, of course they've been saying and speculating whether the u. s. is, has something to do with it, whether it was israel behind the attack. but officials, they have been so far, very timid about this whole thing. and judging by their reaction is maybe they are not running. they're not rushing to any conclusions in order not to escalate the

situation which is already very heated any further. but again, so the ukraine be this comment of this adviser to the landscape, basically the ukrainians. they have this one skill where they take any event and they put a spin in it so that ukraine is somehow in the epicenter of the events to the ukraine, that the spotlight is in ukraine. and i mean, it is understandable because west in a ukraine, it highly depends on how well key of managers to keep it in the limelight when it comes to the public space. but really hardly a surprise that right now to iran is apparently summoning the deputy ambassador to do some explanation, some explaining, excuse me, because they are saying, well look, maybe they go like, well, do you know something that we don't know who, who is behind it? why did you say that it was a long time coming or stuff like that? so in terms of detail, again, they're very, very costs. we do know we've seen pictures of a military compound in the town of it's for hon. it's a town to the south of the capital to run, and it is also,

this is where the site producing iranian unmanned drones is in military drone s. and they have been kind of boosting the production as of late. and we've seen some photographs with some very minor damage done to that particular compound. and the iranian saying that a bunch of drones were shut down by the defenses. and just one just happened to crash on top of that compound. but we've seen other unverified video showing purporting to show claiming to show other military facilities, facilities on file as well, but we still have to verify those videos. and again, a lot of a lot of that has been coming out on the story has been well just for it was fake news. and so we have to really tread carefully and really, really watch what sources you believe. but anyway, we do know that iran has, of course, condemned the aggression and has said that well the, this,

these attacks, they will not stop iran and prevent iran from following its own diplomatic route. however, listen. hello, sorry kid, that ma, he was following efforts by the enemies of iran's nation aiming to make you run insecure in recent months. this cowardly action has been taken today. our country security will act with maximum potency to provide national security in the country . and such actions must not affect the will and intention of our experts in order to progress in the field of peaceful nuclear plants. and see iran got in the wrong side of the west in so many in so many areas and aspects as of late like it has been expanding its nuclear program. it has been accused of supplying military drones to russia, to a russia in its effort, in its military effort in ukraine. so really, there has been plenty of speculation, as you've said, as to who's behind these attacks. maybe it's israel, you know, the usual suspects when it comes to that part of the world and iran,

maybe the united states, both nations have explicitly denied their involvement. however, listen. pentagon spokesperson brigadier general patrick ryan said no. u. s. military forces were involved in strikes in iran but declined to commend further. sorry. so you guys are saying that the facility was only slightly damaged to look pretty minor. frankly, the israeli media is called the whole story, essentially a lie. and when you talk about potential culprits behind this, this drone attacking iran. ok. yeah. as you say, it could be some sort of clandestine israeli thing. could be the codes as well. it could be any kind of us sympathizing group in that part of the world, frankly, in the fact that ron hasn't singled anyone out and yet it's only right now reportedly summoning the ukrainian bastard or in the country that i mean there are angles here. we just are not getting a clear picture on, but what do you think is actually happening? well, it is difficult to make a judgment on that without being on the ground and watching and seeing it with your own eyes. but definitely it looks like the information attack against iran,

it has been more of a, it has had a larger scale than what has been happening actually in terms of physical violence and physical damage. like initially when the 1st attacks happened, the reports that poured out of the region have been all over the place. some sources suggested that israel had begun a ground operation of all things in iran, just stopping just short of will, you know, mewling whether or not that was the start of the war. and so there have been all sorts of claims that there were multiple miss all attacks against multiple military compounds and to iran, in, in iran, again still oil refineries and oil facilities. and all of that were under some oil facilities. they were caught on fire, the raw videos of them being a blaze, but again, iran has blamed the aftershocks of an earthquake for that. so again, it looks like the information campaign against iran and against iran has be in full swing right now. and by keeping silent by not jumping to conclusions and to just,

you know, dishing out accusations by refraining from that. it seems to iran is trying to douse this whole hysteria. and so that everybody has time to come to sensors and then figure out what to do and what sort of retaliation. and more importantly, who will have to bath for these attacks. i guess it's a, it's early days yet eager to show more, more information will come to light. it goes down off as always, thank you. as we understand now, at least 32 people are reportedly been killed and more than a 100 worded in an explosion at a mosque in northwestern pakistan. initial report said it was believed to have been a suicide bombing that occurred when the building was filled with worshippers. paramedics were quick to arrive on the scene and hospitalized a number of people. the rescue workers have been searching through the rebel. they still bear assessing the situation. meanwhile, rushers foreign, minnesota,

so kayla for off he met with his pakistani counterpart today in moscow for welfare talks about our economic strategy. so during which lateral express sorrow for the victim resolve this plus. now the pakistani foreign minister expect other countries not to interfere in trade between islam abide and moscow. comments came at a press conference today as i was saying with his russian counterpart answering the direct question. if the united states will metal in the countries bilateral times lead, we've had and continued to have detail conversations on energy, cooperation, between buxton and russia. as you may be aware, pakistan faces severe and the energy of crises and problems and as far form of the countries right. expect them not to interfere in the bilateral relations between the pakistan and russia. are we absolutely will do whatever is necessary to provide our people oh, with the necessities that they to,

they require, or both parties reiterated their commitment towards developing an enhancing relations between the 2 countries, especially now as russia is seeking alternative markets as we know. and also pakistan as we heard from the foreign minister, the country right now is facing severe energy crisis and also severe economic challenges to which is something else he touched upon. so this is of course perfect timing for both countries to help each other out. and this is something that started 75 years ago, dismay, awe, pakistan, and russia will celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. and let's not forget that in 2015 parkerson m russia agreed to build a multi $1000000000.00 gas pipeline tax food to run through pakistan transports, and russian liquefied natural gas from karate sula, who was supposed to start in 2020. but it was put on hold because a western sanctions and this is the status of the project right now,

a process for your source of blood. you know, the issue is that as an advanced stage of development, and i'm sure that further progress will be done on the near future. in this regard, i would like to dwell on what was said to my pakistani colleague regarding the u. s . guarantee that they will not interfere with our energy deals. of course, they will interfere the united states literally publicly without embarrassment, quite arrogantly declares to every one that it is impossible to make deals with russia, but to prevail. a majority of countries including our colleagues and christine, are guided by their legitimate national interests. both parties expressed a desire to continue donald to the shanghai corporation organisation was sergey lab rover, reminded us once again that it is more reflection all the world right now. the reality because it's a multi polar platform, poncas stands. foreign minister also said that develop relations are currently suffering through the negative consequences. all the crisis in ukraine bought the

threats of western sanctions, will not intimidate them and will not stop them from continuing to do business with russia. the i g seat cover a wide agenda, encompassing a car, economic trait, and especially energy cooperation, pakistan abuse. russia is an important player in the west, south and central asia, pakistan and russia have good cooperation on over on his thought. we aim to continue cooperation with our russian friends and realizing our common goals of peace and stability in a varnish stop. we also discussed bilateral cooperation at multi lateral, for especially within the united nations and the shanghai cooperation. so mainly right now we're really waiting to see one pack swing. we'll get going. and also when the 2 countries will switch to national currency, something else that we heard about. so national currencies, when it comes to doing business. some interesting developments. oftentimes,

a new ambassador to moscow has just left the russian foreign ministry building where she was met by some fairly moody protesters. the crowd charted quote, america's business, his war and quote, the u. s. as a terrorist nation, the u. s. ambassador lyn tracy visited the russian foreign ministry to reportedly submitted credentials for the post a career development. she was previously the top us envoy to armenia. and as so if you look at the pictures right here, she or exit at the far ministry as we understand, she was asked for any comment and she decline just only quarter past here at moscow, the president of south africa has rejected western coals for the country to phase out the use of coal and swap it with green energy faced with an everyday struggle to keep the lights on the country still more than $200.00 days of blackouts last year. the details now without the correspondent cut about

a this is the soundtrack of south africa. it is the humming sound of generators that represent the thoughts of life. for business is big and small. doesn't become life yet. for some 6 or 7 hours in a 24 hour cycle, businesses have to survive them out. and that is the only way they get to keep the economy taking. this is more than just a cosmetic problem now is become real politics in this country. there was a initiative by right, you have to actually install 810000 meg, almost 9600 megawatts of a nuclear power blind in south africa. that didn't happen because there was a push against nuclear. the major controllers of policy in south africa on any to be is the queen lot. they have lots of money. they are intonation. now they are funded by big, big banks. internationally. now we are, the sasa offices. these offices don't seem to have

a backup generator. so what happens to government social services that people actually need? when the time comes? the dilemma changed from canada avoid if we have to be going green, we have to but should not be something where we're held lonesome is expensive, just so like in itself, you're in a lot of solar panels just to see you on lessons or on 45000 who can afford you are talking about even the pro good. so, so why should we abundance cold? now as we are aware that there is and our call is been exported to other countries . there you case it with those who are saying we must go great. so, so with the politics must not play with us, where we need to be seamless about something that lo, chitty also affects things like the legal system, quotes me, computers, they needs, you know, life, they need to be able to access records of those that appear before them, it depends on the type of cases i be dealing with at the point in time. i,

as the cases need to be recorded, then we cannot actually record them. you understand also the locating itself, it actually affects the recording machine which results in court cases being postponed, of course, which in turn results in the backlog of cases. and the difficulty of that is felt most from those that rely on that electricity. i mean, bothers, for instance, they have to really dig in there to make sure that what they do is able to finish the job despite the challenges of having power cut. alex, tell me how, how do you navigate locating, especially when it's extended hours, a 2 hour, 2 and a half hours, 5 hours. how do you do? um, we have a couple much since like cordless wines like this ones. one of them can even take about an hour. so our for but 4 of them. so if electricity goes for 4 hours, i can really work. yeah. did you buy these machines specifically below jenny?

yes, we bought this machine specific. fairly 4 follow 7. and then you have it, that's the daily grind in south africa. the electricity shortage has really made some people numb. but some people angry enough to vote with their feet next week as they march to the head offices of state utility. as got. because people have had enough and it life has not been easier if everything else flows down from cellphone reception to traffic. because traffic lights also now just always stops. but some way this low cheddie must also stop where you might be surprised to hear this, but china's foreign ministries says the u. s. initiated the ukraine conflict and must stop sending weapons to key of have a listen for yourself. united states is the initiator and the biggest promoter of

the ukrainian crisis. it continues to send heavy sold weapons to ukraine, constantly increasing the lengthened intensity of the conflict. instead of reflecting on what they have done, the u. s. is enhancing unfounded suspicions and accusations against china? the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson made those comments during a press conference. a reporter claim that the us had evidence that a chinese state company was providing military supplies to russia. the chinese official denounced by claim kinda hugh senior fellow at the pan goal institute says washington's accusations are baseless and they just another attempt to pressure chinese companies out there. we don't see that in the us back that be only recall by the us media. so there's a white hook, the us targeting and private challenge for which has been that while the most will start up companies is that through that reminds me of the have to always

remember what happened to always us back while a global weight, even though they're not the wall all we had then, and always only quiet, probably called and called is the be happy to successful. well, hours the finishing. lively. you can look at the most expensive, if not all of them work in the 1st place because the leave a group term you know, you call it actually is a non good quarters. economic quality in the united states, canada course from european coffee against the other companies who they see as the professional calendar country competitor for all countries will refuse to live in to the owners from washington or from process that basically that's the case.

the u. s. may well be the world's largest economy, but it is struggling to contain its mounting national debt, which is around 30 trillion dollars of the us treasury secretary has was that have federal lawmakers don't raise the circle debt ceiling to let it borrow more. the result could be yet another global financial crisis, but there have been rising colds for the government to tackle that debt simply by minting more currency, literally in the form of a trillion $1.01 ounce platinum coin. many economists to spoken out against the scheme saying it wouldn't actually solve the broader problem when we put the issue to financial expert and the contributor christians, the idea that you just create more money out to finn and that's just going to solve all the problems. i mean, we saw doing cobit during the pandemic. we saw that strategy being implemented by a number of different governments, particularly the united states, and then most of the allies following suit. and what we saw is we saw the massive sort of boom on the stock market and equities and pretty much everything. but what

we've now seen, you know, over the past year or 2 years, even we've now seen the, the, the effects of doing that. and the effect of doing that is hyper inflation. it's making things way more expensive. since reagan took the u. s. off the gold standard, which basically been used to be the fact that if i gave, if i printed one us dollar as the federal reserve, i had to show you that i had $1.00 worth of gold. in this case, in the vault that's not true anymore. so in theory, they can print as much money as they like. the only issue that they've got right now is they printed so much money. they're in so much debt that they can actually print any money in order to sell. sell that they're gone and less congress in the united states ratifies that and said how you can print more, which is absolutely disastrous. but that's kind of what we're looking at doing. and the only reason that people really accept the us dollar is became the global petro currency. it became the currency for trading. probably the most valuable resource on the planet, really for, for us running allies, which is oil. the fact is, if we can already see countries are looking even countries like saudi arabia,

they're looking at and looking at their partners in china, let's say the chinese women b, which is a current c, which is very strictly control. that isn't pointed like a massive printing press where the chinese government go down to the, to the presence they have princess and other trillion dollars worth of women be mistake. ok. maybe it's a good idea that we thought exporting trading and other currencies that don't have this fall. it's, let's see, it printed like a casino, where we have no control over that fiscal policy where, where bite and can now go down to go down to congress, put a bill in front of the house and decide he can print more and more money, you know, the bricks, nations, you know, that's russia, china, brazil, argentina, soon we're hoping saudi arabia joining that saying hey, why don't we make our own currency, where we're not going to treat the currency like casino, where we're going to go, you know, bricks with saudi. and we'll bring out, bring together a lot of the opec plus countries, which is going to be way more oil and gas than the u. s. has including russia as well to create their own currency, which is sustainable,

which doesn't have these massive fluctuations, inflation and doesn't give me a massive, massive bailouts. these big institutions and corporations, even the european union, which has been basically the bustle of the u. s. that basically we saw in covey, they followed all the same fiscal policies. they nodded their heads, light, lovely, nodding dogs, that sending around now as well. and they're saying, okay, it's not greatly you're making every single european business have to move to the u . s. to trade with you, we've had enough, but it's probably too late. now, the u. s. is stuck in the mud, and unfortunately, everyone else is more stuck in the mud than the u. s. unless they move off the us dollar, being the global standard economic prosperity on the rise in the southern africa nation of zim bob way though it's being very well boosted by ties with china. that is fine decades long western sanctions against them. bob way is trade though with beijing over the power fear are certainly 30 percent, are record high of around 2 and a half $1000000000.00. now this does come with the u. s. u k. in the u. imposed

sanctions again, the same black boy over alleged human rights. as in bob ways, government has accused the western western professional partners group of seeking to cripple the country. the measures cause international bindings to cut ties with the south african country and has led to public unrest. many african leaders of stood up with bob way in recent years with calls of the un for the sanctions to be written moved, well, we heard from bob boy's information minister, he says, the country is open for business despite what she describes as weston attacks. when she said africa, the future must be built on equality between partners, not on economic pressure. this illegal sanctions. they're just not functions. like when you talk function, it's actually economics translation sub what is in threats of military envision which have been incessantly been manipulated. disgrace, our territory,

integrity sanctions, if it economy. but sim, bob was innovative. police genius, his replaced the minister functions with engagement and re engagement policy of our 2nd republic. isn't bob? we've open for business police or for 2nd to public or this has been done to make sure that we don't sit back and cry over functions. but we do the best with what we have done by with now being attacked for being a say, any example of a fast developing fit outside neo colonial independence. in other words, we're, i'm the, with an attack. well, being a stand alone feet in the annals of the rise of what in african nationalism africa is open to engage with any part of the world. as long as accenture's are based on fairness and quality. look at our relationship is a country with countries like china,

with kind of like russia. this is mainly because we have displayed police attributes of equality to one another, more than anything else. this is what the world needs. north sanctions and head proliferation towards the south africa is willing to extend ideas and innovations with any progressive global force. after all. humanity is one certainly seems like nearly every day. there's a story of yet more countries ditching the u. s. dollar and trade are resorting to national currencies. new multi polar world is very much emerging. this is a time in history that the, the future of books on the world economy will certainly be talking about. thanks for your company, we're back soon with ah patel. i'm also the, let me start with the issue that has been a lot and the headlines recently, an i mean the, the tragic death of,

of mos armine, which sparks ah, a reaction not only in this country, but also a broad, wider thing. these tried to do cause such an last sing and such a broad response public response i have enough who's i believe it with your permission. i would like to discuss this issue in depth. the thing you referred to as a tragic death and the news of which resonated throughout the world is actually a new form of what we call the policy of intimidation. says a policy that america is carrying out against my country. iran at the very essence of american foreign policy is intimidation. over the past 50 years, the u. s. has always sought to scare our people into submission. they've sent their navy to our shores as her showing off their warships and their missiles. well, they've forced us into flawed and unfair agreements with them going on. it is always been about intimidation. however, what you mentioned is just

a new form of the same policy that are more by doing this, the u. s. wants to say to us, love with if, if i'm right here in your very cities, i can take terrorists to the streets and set cars on fire. so they want us to submit to surrender lawyers. this is a component of policy of intimidation that america has deployed and is pursuing against iran to show a skewed picture of our country to the world. i imagine that you too now have a similar experience of dealing with america. as it promotes false narratives about russia to the rest of the world, i love america exercises its power through the media and mass media is used to push intimidating narratives and falsehoods. that's their modus operandi. or if you want to sell weapons, make a country afraid of something and no buy it off. you know, so americans to bully our neighbors into being afraid of iran. they do the same to

the global community. they want people to be scared. i agree with you that the west has always, or has long used propaganda as a, as a tool against countries that they disagree with. and that happened with regards to russia. there augusta run in with regards to many other countries. but if you look at the particulars of the story, you know, our young, 22 year old woman who was detained, intact, run, it happened. she was visiting her brother. she was out of town, and her family never got a chance to see her again. now i know there are many speculations about what actually happened, that her family, for a long time was very bitter about the way how this whole situation was handled. i wonder as, as a woman, as a mother of 2 daughters as a university professor, i'm sure you have many similar students. what was your personal reaction not.
