would you, lation says do small to do gumbo sub ah, without headlines on asi, international as russia's talk different about sort of a law for all says he received a message from us secretary of state anthony, blinking delivered by his egyptian counterpart whose right now visiting moscow russian forces take over a village near the embattled city, all our troubles closing off one of the ukrainian village trees main supply lines. this does follow intense fighting in the area as we understand ukrainian forces. suffering very heavy losses. the president of iran is expected to speak to the u. s. and israeli accusations to this country a stirring up trouble around the world, left us by a drone attack on an iranian military facility that some media outlets fed the us

and israel mayo feeding moments after 6 pm on this tuesday, the world showing no signs of slowing down is a busy day. welcome to your stories on on. so the ukraine conflict should be resolved peacefully. that's the message from the u. s. secretary of state, which was passed on to russia's foreign minister from his egyptian counterpart. it's during that shad press conference, the wrapped up here today in moscow. however, according to tokyo law for off, it's not entirely that straightforward. he says that message actually means quote, the conflict should be resolved peacefully that his, after russia is defeated, was secret that brim chemical story answering the previous question. the minister said that he passed on a certain message from the secretary of state lincoln who visited carol recently, and i can confirm this voice. we have always said that russia is ready to listen to

any serious proposal that would be aimed at settling this entire issue. and she, and in this regard with her, once again, we are the minister, the statement, the russia should stop being withdrawn, leave and then everything will be fine. with the 2nd part of the cpr for mr. blake, and didn't talk about this is what the secretary general of nato said was visiting the republic of korea. he said in one of his speeches that russia must lose. russia should be defeated in the west, can't allow craner to lose. this leads and comes just a day after the egyptian foreign minister met over the u. s. secretary of state and his lincoln, which is why and how he had that message for sure. again, lavelle with sergio lab said is incomplete because what the was would really like to say is that if you pray loses that mean we're the world lead time to discuss the ukrainian prices that were there a little longer works with them out much earlier. and they were delayed for about

an hour regular. rob did say that the spoke about the ukrainian crisis, a lane to his egyptian counterpart about the minsk agreements, for example, how no one was ever planning to implement them. and when i say no one, i mean the freight ukraine and also the was that they were using it to buy time so that they could prepare for a full scale escalation of the conflict. now aside from this issue, are they also discussed of course, bilateral trade, which we've seen that this time, the trade turnover has increased significantly to now $6000000000.00. let's hear some more about this in here. mostly you are trade relations have reached historical levels. we've worked hard to reach the possibility to trade the national currencies and are doing everything to increase those volume with russia is a key supply of grain to the world market. and we look forward to further deliveries. we are satisfied with our trade levels and aimed at increasing the pace

of deliberate and expanding of the range of trade in that we are looking for new ways to expand our relations with russia is also currently building and financing egypt for us nuclear power plants is also upgrading their railways nurse so many more projects updates, watch support. they also discussed so not only international conflicts like ukraine, but also regional conflicts and the need to ensure the stability in the region. they mentioned iran, then mention a israel and palestine and the need for all sides to get back to the negotiating table as soon as possible and find the solution. libya was another country they spoke about, the political instability there, and the rival faction and the fact that the need to ensure that no selection is there a take place and that there is no interference from outside sources. the iranian president, abraham, gracie, is expected to speak today in reaction to the statements coming out of talks between the us and israel. it's all a made

a recent drone attack on an iranian infrastructure. washington though in jerusalem a choosing terran of what they call exporting aggression. it's a time where a many and international community, i would say, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. we've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports aggression beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. we discussed deepening cooperation to confront and counter rance, destabilizing activities in the region and beyond. just as around as long supported terrorists that attack israelis and others, others, him is not providing drones that russia is using to kill innocent ukrainian civilians. so all of that being said, as the iranian military confirmed that one of its ammunition storage depots was a well targeted and a drone attack. on monday,

several media outlets blamed jerusalem and washington. meanwhile, iran has summoned a senior ukrainian diplomat to explain comments by a high ranking official in kiev. be advised that he ukraine's president said it was no surprise that iran would be attacked and made claims. it's been providing military drones to russia for use and the ukraine conflict. russia however insists all of its drones are manufactured domestically. and as tensions are high between israel and palestine. antony blinking a day after his meeting with his ready prime minister netanyahu the head to the west bank tuesday to hold told for the palestinian president mac mood, abbas a billing cons expected to discuss the palis teams authority. the decision by that authority to stop security coordination with officials in israel. i was talking just a short time ago with a political analyst and professor at the university of terren side, mahogany mirandi. he says that if the join attack on iran was carried out by an ally of the west,

there will be silence. i think it's become the new norm where western countries and their proxy is like, is there any regime they carry out attacks and then they blame the victim? i mean, of course, the running intelligence would have to tell us ultimately what exactly happened. the drug strike was a complete failure. there was no real damage cause and it was, it was a flaw, the attack itself. but the important thing is that this really regime carried out an act of war and which it does regularly in syria, which it doesn't god. yet, as you rightly point out, there is complete silence in the west, and that is the, the world order that the americans and europeans want to preserve those laws. and international laws that they keep speaking about are where you abide by their rules, yet they don't have to abide by any rules. the russian

administrative defense says the village of blood go, doc, noise, and the don't ask. republic has now come under russian control. the location is very close to the strategically important city of our trauma. also known as black mood, where there is currently intense fighting in the region. our correspondent, roman coast for russian armed forces are indeed edging closer to the town of r tell mosque in the occupied part of the nest republic, which was renamed as a board by ukraine a few years ago. according to the defense ministry, the settlements of a blog, o dot ne, a was cleared from the ukrainian troops as a result of a successful offensive operation. our defense been as free credit, so volunteers off of various assault detachments who made it possible with the fired support from operational, tactical, and army aviation missile troops and artillery of this saturn group of russian

troops. now the report stated that up to 50 ukrainian soldiers were killed in the area of the last 24 hours. also, a french made a caesar self propelled artillery mount u. s. maids em triple 7 artillery system, and a start. b harvard sir, were destroyed in the area as well. now once again, the city of our cha mosque, which was the renamed by ukraine and to city of barbara back in 2016 is afar us paramount strategic importance, both to russia and to ukraine. it's only thank kilometers away from the recently liberated city of solids, r and a, when on the battlefield, there will allow the russian armed forces to advance further towards the cities of slowdowns and crum, a tor scan. that's another major stronghold of the ukraine military. and currently, an occupied territory of the nest republic, just about owning 10 past the hour here at moscow. so the chinese foreign minister

has called for a strengthening of ties in the middle east. he said the creation of a free trade zone with a 6 states of the gulf cooperation council should be done quote, as soon as possible in a cold with his saudi counterpart, he announced the plans well underlining the necessity to further develop ties an infrastructure investment and high tech spheres, and this comes amid the saudi finance ministers, recent statement detailing his country, and the fact that it is open to trade and other currencies. besides the u. s. thornton, there are no issues with discussing how we settle our trade arrangements, whether it is in the us dollar, whether it is the euro, whether it is the saudi re all this course live now to the former dean of the school of international studies in new delhi and rather chin or joining us live here on our team to national a variable. welcome to thank you very much for coming on the program. i know you've been listening to the story as you've been waiting to go live with us here. a free trade zone between china and the gulf cooperation council states,

how significant would not be extremely significant. it can change the balance of the global geo political economy. this is the material basis of the multi point was moving oil in trade to the oil trade to the u on don't, as the economist said, of a few weeks or a few months ago could take almost 6 $100000000000.00 out of the dollars dawn and bring china to the center of the world economy. so this is like a huge step, but it's a process which will unfold gradually, but we can see that it is happening. and i think china, russia, and many countries came to see this as a think, i think you're absolutely right. the change is happening slowly, but it's also accelerating. i think that's fair to say you talk about china. china

is the biggest buyer of oil from the saudi arabia. no one buys more saudi oil than china, and china doesn't want to use the petro dollar anymore. of course, it was a $973.00, that henry kissinger from america made the saudis agree. we will protect the house of saud if you sell your energy in dollars. is it the end of that scheme? do you think? well, it's not the immediate end because, but it's a process that has started. and many countries want to shift to buying oil and major commodities with their own local currencies, including india for india is also in talks. i think it's coming out in bits and pieces and operate on the indian former governor, the result bank said that is india ship to buying oil, for example,

in indian rupees. that was save us $4000000000.00 of foreign exchange a month. so you can imagine, you know, that a lot of countries would like to do this because so far because of the spectra dollar, every country has had to buy oil in dollars and make it bought the strategic reserve . this country in countries into debt. and the us use of it to finance it, whatever wars, but you still sorta sorta jump in and you know, you're absolutely right. because essentially, the petro dollar, as you said, used by countries all around the world to buy and sell energy, that has been the fist school back bone of america's foreign policy. you mention all the shifts towards the usage of national currency. can you tell me a bit more why that is happening? that's happening one because i think there is a realization that the,

the dollar hedge money somehow must end and it is not serving the purpose of the national interest of the countries the us has sanctioned more than you know, half the was population 75 countries. it has sanctioned and that has led to subsistence problems in many countries. they have taken the strategic reserve of countries that they perceive as a threat. and this continue that increases at an increasing rate. so that's one reason the countries have to save themselves 2nd and they ought to read off the dollar hedge many code whenever the dollar rises, whenever there is that needs to inflation in all other countries as a cascading effect and they're unable to repay the debt. then they have to restructure their laws as we had in 3 long car recently. it's going to happen in

buckets on and then they reach structure that did the i m f with these conditionality. all are bought in more private, your liberal privatization, which actually get these countries into a cycle, a cyclical debt issues. this is exactly right. this. exactly right. so the r m s essentially tends to force feed countries very high interest loans. the country can never pay back to what happens. the country has no choice but to sell off its national assets. let me ask you, let me ask you this. i know that what i still got you on the program is so good to have you with us tonight. if indeed, if indeed, the use of national currencies is burgeoning and blossoming. and if in be the petro dollar is facing an uncertain future, how would you expect washington to react? because the petro dollar, as i said, has been the fiscal backbone of america's foreign policy. they're not going to be happy about it. surely. absolutely not. and i think they could even

bomb a couple of countries because a david and i mean this news today would have put their foreign policy. so it goes in a tizzy and they would take any step to try and stop it. they would try because they, they will get in terms of saudi arabia, security. they could try a regime change as it is. they don't like prince m b s, they have, you know, he has a snob that efforts to raise the, you don't know of the amount of oil and intervene in, in the last oil policies. and they have decided now they can stop it because they do have an alternative. they have this alternative which is being offered to them by the rising foss. this is mainly china, but also in the us, brazil,

south africa. is it dangerous? and rather is it dangerous? because let's go back to what happened. colonel gadhafi of libya, libya was once the most prosperous nation on the entire african continent. could daffy proposed a gold dinar upon african gold dina to kick out the petro dollar a gold dina, to be used across the region to trade in energy. saddam hussein in iraq also proposed upon region gold dina, to replace the petro dollar. we will know what happened, who's to, to hussein. we know what happened to could daffy should other world leaders be nervous. if indeed they're getting on this band wagon, that is currencies opposed to the petro donna. look, this is not going to happen in no rush. these are small, very small sticks, and i think of course, globe global leaders will be nervous and they're not going to do it in a hurry. but it's going to be a gradual process. currently the,

the dollars still of you know, is 60 percent of financial exchange and 80 percent of trade. and the, you want to just about 3 percent and the euro is 20 percent. so i don't think they are the u. s. is going to be unknown, but they are very smart in preempting thing. so they will start preempting and they will start, you know, taking measures, including their usual steps you know, dividing, divide, and rule regime change, all kinds of fresh gathered. you know, i don't know really how to follow, but this is a slow process. it seems to me it's quite reversible because there is this, you know, that happened in the bricks. meetings, it's happening in the sea like me think it in latin america. it's happening with indonesia and many of the ceo as well. and just briefly, before i let you go,

i know that, you know, the us treasury secretary, janet yellow has been touring africa for the past 1011 days and, and although ha, state but it was, were here to improve bilateral ties with africa. she was essentially that with a spic telling african countries comply with western sanctions and do not cooperate with russia. it's a long way to winning the hearts and minds of people in that part of the world and rather troy form a dean of the school of international studies. a great pleasure having you on the program. thank you very much. thank you. thank you so much. the united states is ready and willing to use nuclear weapons. that's the message from the us defense. secretary lloyd austin as he pledge that america will defend in south korea with what ever it takes our commitment to the defense of the are ok remains. iron plat, united states stands firm in it, and it's extended to turns commitment. and that includes the full range of us

defense capabilities, including our conventional nuclear and missile defense capabilities, well, often arrive. and so for security talks, as washington seeks to reassure the key asian ally of alleged growing threats from north korea. but this, while officials from both the us down, south korea have warned, the pyongyang may be preparing the test is nuclear. and all for the 1st time since 2017. and when the united states, south korea conducted joined military drills in late december, appealing yang, launched to ballistic missiles into the sea office, east coast and responds. no free reportedly sees those drills as a provocation and preparation for a possible attack. however, washington insole described that drills as purely defensive in nature. earlier we were told me to don mclean, gil geopolitical analyst and author, he says there's a huge inconsistency in the policy that the us doing in asia haven't listened to

the slider miscalculation and the slightest misperception can lead to catastrophic results, particularly for the stability and security of the korean peninsula, and this is what south korea is trying to do, is try to look for a middle ground in order to really alleviate the escalating situation. but at the same time trying to spearhead areas where it would be more secure. so it does not want to escalate the situation further, but however, because of the reality on the ground, there's really not much of an option for south korea to do or for north korea and the other side. you have to understand that there is a, in a significant inconsistency when it comes to us foreign policy, particularly in asia. so what we can expect is that is a grant in the grander scheme of things, you know, in asia, particularly the u. s. hopes to improve its, strengthen its geopolitical position and effectively balance against china's rise.

but given the current realities and of asian, political, and economic affairs in what shaving these goals will not be a walk in the park. hence, in a we are to expect more strategic competitions. geopolitical shifts situations in a distribution of power. ah, protesters have been hitting the streets in the german cities of cabinets at nuremberg, demonstrators declaring they are the red lines to stop weapons deliveries to ukraine. we show you pictures of protests as marching our waving flags with slogans like cabinets as waking up truth, freedom and peace in nuremberg people voice their protest of germany's participation in the ukrainian conflict just for why would he lets hit the streets and see what the locals have to say ukraine wont be able to pay, we will pay for it once. if we, germans again involved in the law has, will have a wall with russia. yes. yeah. then for us, germans based on history, this is probably the war signal. we can have a sant will,

no war must go through germany and either with arms deliveries nor anything else. because otherwise, germany will be in the middle of it again, which ultimately only america wants is deutschland, helped us. i have the terrible feeling that if things go on like this, i don't know, she will consciously maneuver ourselves in by the 3rd world war. i know which most valuable here in the country don't want. i don't want to do much about it. honestly, mustang hoods because our codes are german residents are not entirely alone in that bit. as world leaders, this time, brazilian president lou little philpott says his country has no intention of sending ammunition to ukraine. yeah, german chancellor of schultz has been trying to enlist international support for ukraine during his for day to a south american countries. for the brazilian president turned down the german a request to send ammunition to key. if in fact here's what the president had to say. hey, did brazil has no interest in passing on the ammunition so that it will not be used

in the war between ukraine and russia. brazil is a peaceful country. the last time we had a dispute was during the paraguay war and therefore brazil does not want to have any participation, even indirectly, for like out of, by the way these conversations about um, requesting ammunition was not only to brazil, but also to argentina, to mexico. and columbia and other presents fernandez locker. so reload and bethel. they said no way of going into that. does know there's a reason for south america, latin america, countries, the senate nation. ah, to this war, the history of our region, as you know, is the region is the history of interventions of united states. countless number of cooper dobbs, that were organized or supported by united states. so, so we know that the history says that we can not have a sovereign politics policies in our region with the pressure from the west,

specially in our case from washington. so there, that's why i initiatives like breaks and even like silicon owners sure are so critical for us because we know that each of our countries individually we, we are not strong enough to resist, are the western aggressions, invasions and, and, and, and boycotting, etc. and sanctions, but if we are able to establish dispatch forms as a real, a political power and canonical power, then maybe we're going to be able to do with this challenge. as for us, the most important thing is that the south american governments are pro south america. it's good to have your company today. the massive protests of erupt at all across france, softer the government's decision to reform the pension system, which is set to range the retirement age by 2030 a. please use our tear gas and water cannon for dispos. thousands of protesters

essentially venting their anger several french labor unions cold for a nationwide strike with approximately half of school teachers backing out of work . f ron's, the largest national airline, has been forced to come for some services with railways and metro stations. and the demonstrators claim the reformers, unjustly hitting the working class. while the u. s. energy information administration forecast record high gas production in the country with l n. g export set to increase by 16 percent. let's learn more in cross live now to watch contributor rachel moss and joining us live on the program . rachel, so at a time when europe cut off russian energy and is now paying through the dairy air for american airline, g, it seems the united states is just banking big prophets. now, what do you have to say?

now the bottom line is that green europe is fueling a black gold rush in the u. s. the nation's power authority, the energy information ministration, just announced the gas production is had a record high and it's set to spike even higher this year. and the great gas station, i mean, the great state of texas also achieved a record personal best for natural gas output. exxon mobil hit the jackpot with record profits last year of $55000000000.00. so guess what? that means. green dreamers, it's big oil spending spree time. here comes another new exxon power plant free to protest. scheduled for 2027 or 2028. sure. it's a higher than plant, but how's that hydrogen going to be produced? hydrogen is mostly produced from fossil fuels, inconvenient, dirty little secret there are, but hey, that's okay, because exxon says it's going to bury that carbon footprint in the ground. and, well, who cares about the ground? right? it's not like it's air. so big victory for the big oil bros in america,

but not so great for europe, which is just basically hitched its wagon for the foreseeable future to us gas with no real end in sight, over this sov. with this over dependence. of course, it's now expected that europe will hurry up and turn its green fantasies into reality so it can reduce that dependence on us energy. but we see now how wonderfully that's worked out so far. if those green dreams weren't such a big bust, then europe wouldn't be so strapped for power right now. after cutting off its cheap russian gas lifeline by dating, tangled up in its own sanctions, the same energy lifeline that subsequently mysteriously blue up. and as you can hear, us officials are really broken up about that. i want to be clear with you today. if russia invades ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russia and

age at meas tanks or troops crossing the on the border of ukraine again, then there will be a we, there will be no longer a north stream to we will bring an end. i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that nordstrom, too, is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these pipelines that is more streamlining north from 2 we're not pumping gas into europe at this time. more through to never became operational, knew that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. yeah, no more nordstrom to so sorry to hear about your divorce. hey, want to date, last year, european imports of us liquefied natural gas for 148 percent higher than in 2021. and they're paying multiple times more for it than they did for russian gas imports . or even compared with what the u. s. domestic market pays, but what's

a little price? gouging between pals right? keeps things kind of spicy. european officials are high fiving each other right now because the lights are still on such high standards. they basically can thank the mild winter weather for that. actually, it's not like they found some kind of competence somewhere along the way, but europe really isn't. are the woods yet? recent drops and wholesale gas prices have raised hopes at the worst of the energy crisis in europe is now behind us. but these hopes are misplaced, the large energy price shock still lies ahead for european court brits. we expect corporate gas utility bills to increase by over 100 percent and 2023 compared to 2021. in italy and spain, for instance, against around 60 to 70 percent in germany, france and the united kingdom electricity bills are expected to rise borrow 35 percent of germany.
