did you during the last 250 is completed, so we didn't have any citizen that got your team well. ready? great. and helping our team and saving many, many like protests in france on saturday, were said to have been among the largest witnessed in recent years as a manual microns government plans a pension reform that will raise the retirement age in the country by 2 years. ah, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across from so several major labor unions that carried a national strike. while the reform has triggered beyond rest. other issues, like the high cost of living on the energy prices are said to be major contributing factors to union this incidentally of war. and if the pension age bill isn't

removed or significantly altered, they'll quote, bring france to a standstill from markson. and finally, this news, our pollens sports minister has echoed western coals for russian and bella, russian athletes to be banned from next ears summer olympics in france. that is, unless they join a so called refugee team on publicly denounced their country's leaders moseto, which proposes not a neutral team, but a refugee team that could include russian and beller, russian athletes who are dissidence from the prudent and lucas shanker regimes. this concept has been received with interest, and i think he can be a basis for discussion with the i o. c. to come out of this situation. with their heads held high, rollo, poland joined a group of 35 large the western countries, including the u. s. germany in australia demanding that russian on beller,

russian athletes be banned from the games. that move has stepped off pressure on the international olympic committee. but so far it's resisting and in fact has sent a letter to you train, urging authorities to cease asking other countries to stage a boy called of the event reminding key of it would be a violation of the organizations charter ukraine. a said that allowing the athletes to compete what give moscow are quote, lot form to promote genocide. i charge the i o. c. i to rightly rejected on coal defamatory while the murder of paris in favor. just a month ago of letting the sportsman and women take part no seems to be on board with the potential, but my wishes that they will not be here for as long as this war goes on. it's not possible to parade is nothing was happening to have a delegation arriving in paris, while bombs are raining on ukraine. of these as an earlier we discussed the proposed amount of russian and belarus snuff. lates with sports columnist alan moore. the ideal binding athletes because of weather, from the exact same as binding athletes because of the color of their skin or the

shorter the mosque or whoever de, whichever god they freighting it, it goes against everything that good sports. it goes against the principles of the o. c. and i really sorry, i believe the end of the day i will see that by tom will get their way out of this . he was not shocking spencer. he knows his way around sores. he knows what to do, what not to do. and i do believe that at the end of the day, this discrimination can lead to, to have a binding russian a better wish that leads from jill and be simply because their promotion better russia it's enough to disgrace. and i think it's something that the whole or the trying that because remember, it could be your country. next. western threats are blind di being turned ukrainian atrocity effect, global food prices, security in the world today on moscow's attempt to tackle those issues. i was promised rushes envoy to the you and addresses all that the next in an exclusive

interview here on our team. ah at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from gray with

we will bring to the iraqi people, food and medicines, and supplies and sleep with oh, last has got some kind of a bombing, their own good perception, that even a and he'll get they are putting a little and bringing him in every, every seattle for life. but they are giving him the opportunity to share his meal is not only important in some ways, but also in the universities add to the young people are making a president of food in as a villain. but that is definitely not the case. and do you know that he understand what is good for damnation?

which is good for people ah today and never done before. we trigger the general. yeah. okay, cool. that means national government can come into the economy as much as a financial $22.00 in a month and get it to us all to that at all. with my son, he died in the city sick. at sick with my son, he started on monday. the financial due to, to this visit for me, i need to just do this and he said, i mean for the presets on phone, go out a router, they should be a 3 digit. nice

to restore. this will be on a walker, probably much him of a block. they model christie, but not the corporate funnel. with dawn, let you know ah, well, mister ambassador, i do wanna thank you for this great opportunity to speak with you and also extend your greetings for the day of rush and diplomacy. so i will begin by asking you recently we heard that zalinski, the ukrainian leader, has said that the minsk agreement was simply to was simply a concession that the language he described it with. and he went on to say it cannot be implemented. we've also heard from angela merkel. she has said that it was simply a tactic to buy time for the ukrainian army. so my question is,

does that change the possibility of future negotiations and on what terms would russia be willing to engage in such talks? first of all, thank you very much for your congratulations indeed to this day means for us. this is a day remembering the traditions of the russian soviet and the russian diplomacy unveiled to remember. oh, on what you asked me. i think you already gave an answer. partly at least indeed we heard this recent statements by zelinski by i'm going medical by you a bible on the bipartisan himself, which simply betrayed extra, confessed that minced agreement. so what a house to buy time for you create a besides music agreement. so use a keys of the failed you in provence, because have they been implement faithfully?

nothing. what were witnesses they would be happening, but they were not meant to be implement. so when people say this started dealing with some will might be will mother diversity. who say you are on chronology that started 9 years ago, 9 years ago we were begging you to listen to us. nobody at it. now we've heard from a number of western leaders that they think the only way this work and is with the defeat of russia. so if that is the town, is there any hope for negotiations or peace? they're not just saying that the can only end with the end the rush. they're saying they're talking now about dismembering russia. they're talking about destroying russia. they are, they are a talking talking. some of the officials, high level officials, are talking about the russian leadership. what's that where they should be, where it is now, some statements go beyond the beyond more just simply diplomacy,

but, but serialized, civilized, the communication a on a possibility of negotiations. opposition is very clear. we stated numerous times we stated the goals of all our special military operation. what the disdainful we were already and still already for serious negotiations which were interrupted. so see, stop by, but ukrainians, or of course on the, on the order from their masters and sponsors in april, last year. besides, there are numerous statements by the ukrainian high level officials on how they see a possibility of negotiating was russia. besides, that is a law had decreed that was signed by president zelinski himself, where he and where he prohibited himself to deal with the current russian leadership. so we do not see any seated attempts from the cleaning site to engage

the negotiations and all those initiatives that we're hearing from them on, on the piece plan on very assignments. this is frankly joke. ah, besides, we know for good the they're not calling the shots. those who can enforce them for cities, english, asians, or they leave her in this country in some way in europe or on one of the piles across the, the english channel. if they are willing to do so, they will engage, but we don't see any willingness on the bottom of the sponsors of give to go to, to negotiations with russia and do it, do it's a citizen. and besides, besides, we are not negotiating on the basis of all the meetings that we're here. now at the united nations security council,

you have repeatedly pointed out that pouring more weapons and the key is not going to bring peace, it's going to prolong the suffering, prolong the deaths. but we hear the us representative. just continue to dismiss everything you put forward about the danger of lethal aid and weapons going into kia. do you think that there is any hope for waking up the last about the long term consequences and what's going to result from pouring all these weapons into ukraine? there is always a hope for waking up, but a, i'm afraid they're, they're still fast asleep on the matter. we just said we had the security council briefing, which we requested luster of this week. in fact, earlier this week, her on the i'm supposed to clean and where does it leave an enormous efforts? my me that pours into you claim that feeds the conflict. you know that we invited the roger was so for that briefing them and there were doubts that he could be

a brief on that butter which he brought, he could, and quite a, quite ably i would say we, he was not the pro ration when he spoke he's for, from what you think. we never, when we invite brief us to the security council will never dictate them condition on what they should be saying, not writing scripts for them. you heard what, what happened the, at the meeting in the to we are so far. this is a conversation between the deaf and the blind. now, there is talk of the western countries convening some kind of war crimes tribunal against russia. and if that were to take place, would it be possible for russia to then bring things to the front and go back to 2014, talk about the atrocities that have been committed. i, you know, talk about the repression of the orthodox church and other activities going on in ukraine. would this be possibly a mistake where things they don't want brought into the conversation would suddenly

be a topic we've been raising these issues all is 9 long, 9 years consistently. we continue to do so. but so you have to recognize that is an iron wall a night of media will i would say that we are trying, we're doing our best to bring that to that to the people recently. but so far, not so long ago, we held the so called audio formula meeting on what is happening in don't bust then what has been happening there in not just all these years within this months, because in this months the shelling of don barza residential areas. anthony, i intensified enormously. ah, $16000.00 in the couple of last month. or if i'm not mistaken, we brought witnesses live witnesses who, who gave her personally comes on what is happening. all is ignored. the read the monitors the from the script are not willing to listen to anything. yes.

many of those who are committing crimes in the grain today on the part of the givers you should stamp. and we are saying above that officially, that we're noting down all the crimes that the give resumes committing against its own population basically. and against the people of don bus i. we will not forget it and they will one day with another stone throw for the graves. they committed to including on the battlefield fun when they use the civilians as a shoot with uses as a shoe. they do all the time when they commit crimes against the prisoners of war. even those outrageous things like what happened to a couple of days ago with the killing rabbit or kidney the killing a blank shots of the russian prisons. a war is a, is largely

a glory ignored by the worst of what the office of human rights was, was forced to recognize that the plot to geniune and the deserves being investigated . now in western leaders talk they frequently reference this rules based global order. that's the other thing they constantly are speaking about. my question for you is how is that kind of rhetoric and his talk of a rules based global global order? how is that viewed in south america in asia, in africa? how is the world reacting to the words of us and western leaders? her we, we've been speaking about the, this settles based world or the a long time are saying that it's not international, which is a, in woods it primarily in the u injured. not many listen to our citizen the time. but now i think the, the opinion in those countries, the to that you mentioned sir,

is changing. we just recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the of colin powell v o. in the security council, which you may consider to be the beginning of the current face of this new rules based international order. we are saying 12 partners that what is happening today. you should look at that carefully. m m. the said that today they came after russia tomorrow they will come up to any country that will be not much in tune with those who sinking the on the world. and then a follow up by asking, what do you see the role of russia being in a multi polar world that is emerging. the world is much bigger than, than the so called collect to west of the world. these are africa, the world is a great the you asia, the world is life in america. and indeed indeed the world is becoming more multiple,

a multi paula, perhaps it becomes less and less multilateral on the parts of at least a certain group of countries. but the role of russia, you will, you will never erase social from the world map whether somebody likes it or not. russia will be always a major playing the world politics. okay, now let me ask about the un security council itself. how do you assess the work that they've been doing? i know there been calls for reforming the un security council and the representation on it. where does russia stand on all of this? we are not subjecting the reform of the it cancel. ah, the process goes long time more than 20 years, and that is not the. that is not the a problem over of russia, or anybody else brookings, that are such grave contradictions between the positions of groups of companies and in the individual companies that we cannot give,

or anything that could be could be construed as consensus or sometime shortly. so to see, but we are saying that we, we, we recognize that the world to do it today of the security council does not represent fully the world today that has changed since the time when the security council was established. we say that the, that such, such should regions as especially african asia and latin america under represented the and that should be, that should be rectified. we do not see any of that value in adding to the security council, especially as primitive members of for the countries of the so called collector west's because we have enough of them already. and we don't think that they will contribute to the work of the security council any anyhow differently from what we're seeing today. but again, i say the processor, this whole goal to integrate mental negotiations on the security council reform are

going on in the general assembly. but so far we're not, so somewhere we get where we can, we didn't, we were where we can say we can achieve, achieve agreement. so on this reform in the, in the nearest church. now, earlier in our conversation, are you referenced that horrendous video of the execution of prisoners of war and it's now verified, it's authentic, this crime was committed. what will it take for western media to kind of start acknowledging the horrible things that he had is doing? do you see any possibility of widespread acknowledgement of these atrocities? i mean, is western media just not going to acknowledge these realities. perhaps the other knowledge in that search within themselves, but they are simply ignoring its own on the mass media. if you thought, perhaps, of course, remember her such sure, such a horrible stages as you,

as the so called massacre and witcher or the killing of people at the railway station, grandma tossed up on crowd those these unfortunate people were, were, were heaped up, killed by the ukrainian me so which was on before 2. now they're not talking about that at all. but in the public opinion of it is the russian crime. nobody looked so for the, for the details, what happened? how it happened? what was throwing up. so i'm not very optimistic for that this to her and the scribes will be brought to the western public her by the west media. now, recently i, you talked about how western leaders were objecting to cooperation between molly and russia and the you use the term neo colonial to describe their attitude. why is it that they seem to be so bothered about russia's growing relationship with africa? and can you describe that relationship for us?

the relationship between russia, america, with the african countries were many, but as the use is growing, and that the causes jealousy and the pots of those companies who consider the that to be their back. yet, i will give you one example, i think i will not betray anything secret. now, by now, a couple of years ago, at the high level segment of the general assembly, minutes to lovegrove was meeting the current chief european diplomats was edburg, who distinguished himself recently was some comment. is that the arrest conservation among the public and then the barrel was asking minutes to love her. why are you dealing with my why molly's trying to to, to engage with you a to which minister laurel said, look, this is a sovereign country. they decide with whom to do if they chose to deal with russia . that's their sovereign choice. to which the chief european diplomats said to him

before. lou, please don't mess up in our budget. can you imagine the while, while it is repeated in western media, frequently that russia is to blame for the global food crisis, that it's all russia's fault? how do people see this around the world? there was a meeting recently her as a recent, as a late january of this year, o d e e u comedian agriculture, where they gave where they gave a quite a saba analysis of their problems in the agricultural sector, which is related to the but their, me to inflation, to energy and food prices, to their hiring, green transition, etc. so when it comes to themselves, they are able to describe it to describe with a probably enough while for the public, they blamed the current foot crisis on the intrigues by the climate. we are saying

consistently that the foot crisis didn't start one year ago, that that was the result of their own policies which preceded that at least 3 or 5 years. or including massive were printing over of money by the major economists, including the existing policies on foot supplies, et cetera. so of course, this crisis is not the result of over what was happening last year. now if you are referring to the brain deal, or rather not the grain, you were least of wool agreements because there's construct, they consist of 2 parts. one is the grain deal for ukraine, and the other is memorandum on the extra russian food and fertilizers are from the russian federation. so the, the grain deal is working full steam. ah, it's already more than 20000000

a dance of various grays that were exported from ukraine and they are not flying to the most needed countries are mostly yes, some portion but very small. one like 3 percent of those who are really struggling with hunger at the same time. not a single grain. huh. in singular and very little fertilizers were exported. so according to the 2nd part of the duke. yes, sir. the 2nd that a gentleman i recognised is doing his utmost to the 2 sold it. but he's a, he's a knocking against the wall because there are so many sanctions are they? they keep saying that the grave and put in my there's a are not on the sanctions. yes. they are not formally, but friday's insurance is but banking and financial transactions are you named her. so that does not also contribute to solving the food

to crisis in the world. and it main exacerbated because one thing is the full crisis and the, the, the, the, the food itself. the other thing is the future harvest, which depends a lot on the 30 loads and fertilizers are russian fertilizers, which are, which are paramount for the future. future agriculture production. right, and i believe russia at this point has been blocked from sending fertilizer to syria. and i was wondering if this is actually being addressed at the united nations. it's not that sort of asha, was blocked from sending fertilizers to cedar. it is that the operators are not willing to do so because because these 2 devices are considered to use it. sure products which come under the same famous cesar like by this, by the united states. yes. i that of the secretary general and asked him to help solve that problem because students needed badly,

especially now in this vic times of the living. so, but so far so far, no, they have not been ship. and part of the grain deal and the negotiations was that there should be a lifting of all sanctions affecting russian agriculture. but this, from what you're telling me doesn't appear to have been implement, you know, is there any hope for this being implemented? who was always there but with the, with the multitude of rules and regulations. so on sanctions that these countries introduced in particular, you, they say they, they made some delegation delegations, but in fact, when, when it comes to the national level, it is not implemented there. secondly, there is this so called a compliance when the companies are simply freights to be sanctioned themselves. who are dealing with russia, even if it is in their view, legal, although it is a legal person. well, i want to thank you for your time. i know you are very busy and you've got quite a, a task at hand. you know,

standing up to all these lies at the on security council. i wanna say it's really been an honor to speak with you and thank you very much for taking time out of your day to put thank you. a ah ah ah. a western i'm a bit. i don't. i mean, i had

a major was how your ship with a hair dresser, a bus driver, a sales person, anyone could become a victim. that sell private negotiators 1st, a pad, stick with what i'm. i'm focusing with a, a s s at the end. and then you'll be up, but i am on that. on the global dilemma, it is only be 3. see 4 miss shannon on on the yet yet studies boys took over the serious me with

a a 50 meters away from me. this is where another ukrainian shill, emergency workers. i still work in here trying to clear out to the rebel perhaps to find you more victims ukrainian shelling of done yet city kills one civilian and leaves at least 3 more. when did, according to local officials who say key have used us supplied high mars rockets to attack multiple residential areas. also ahead on the program is always the hope for waking up, but a.
