just 2 decades later after the massacre in nam may be hitler's assault unit boat on the same brown colonial uniform which push the world into the chasm of the 2nd world war. a headlines right now and often international as moscow strikes key targets in several ukrainian cities, including the capital key of it all a response to terrorist attacks. and russia is a pre ounce region, according to roger's ministry of defense and assassination attempt in moldova trans . nice to region targeting senior officials has been thwarted, according to local authorities, who, se ukrainian agents were behind the plan. ah, and political opposition in the republic of georgia refusing to end mass

demonstrations despite the national parliament pulling the controversial legislation to kicked off. the protests correspondent, amid the chaos on location protesters here, they're alarmingly organized. they know how to move as a unit, a retreat as a unit. they're playing basically like a real, a warfare with the police here it's, it's crazy. both on the program, the foundation of the u. s. dollar is being chipped away as india and russia set a new record for oil trade using national currencies. not the top with expanding the world life from moscow. this is all to international headquarters with your top stories lined up and ready to go. so the russian armed forces have struck key targets in several ukrainian cities, including the countries capital key, f. the russian defense ministry says the operation was in response to key of

terrorist acts inside of russia earlier this month. or his own, if at all, in response to the terrorist actions organized by the cube regime on march. second, this year in the brians region, the armed forces of the russian federation inflicted a massive retaliation strike high precision, long range, air sea, and land based weapons including the dagger hypersonic missile system. hit key elements of ukraine's military infrastructure enterprises of the military. industrial complex. as well as facilities that provide energy to them to target the strike has been achieved. all assigned objects have been hit. according to the defense ministry, russia launched a massive retaliatory strike using hypersonic missiles. officials say that some key elements of you crazy military infrastructure companies, or the military industrial complex, as well as energy facilities that supply them with power were hit. now apart from that, defense ministry says that ukraine in attack drone vases were also destroyed. also,

the strikes disrupt to the rail, a transfers of ukrainian army reserves and foreign weapons and destroyed maintenance and repair facilities of military equipment, as well as disabled the production of ammunition. ukraine claims that 11 people were killed. however, russia's defense ministries has said time and again that it own it's august critical military infrastructure. now on thursday afternoon, air rate alerts remained in place throughout ukraine earlier and thursday morning. online footage showed smoke rising and the one of the districts of the crate in capital mayor and former professional boxer vitality, skull confirmed explosions and emergency electricity black house were introduced. now, a desa harkell fall were also without energy, according to local authorities, his explosions were also recorded in the various places across ukraine. basically, the entire country is under air arrayed alerts. now several trains of the ukrainian railways have been delayed for hours due to the absence of power. meanwhile,

here in the nest, ukraine used american maids multiple launch rocket systems called hi marcy and civilians. one person killed and 2 were wounded at a civilian bus depot, near the nets. according to officials, 6 high morse rockets were launched. hor were intercepted and to reach the civilian target archer thing now to the break away moldova region of trans nissan, which is right along the ukrainian border for authority say they've thwarted a terrorist attack, allegedly perpetrated by ukrainian national security agents targeting several senior local officials as we understand multiple suspects had been detained as more in a quarter of a picks up the story this. so it's harris, it's hack or assassination attempt was supposed to take place in the sensor off terrace ball, which is of the capital of the breakaway region trans. mr. and it was targeting the leader all for trans me served by jim accustomed sales ski that wants to use

a land job and landrover. and that's where they had the explosives, 8th kilograms of hexagon, explosives, as well as wire screws, knots to basically maximize the impact. and according to sources was spoken to the impact would have been the radius hundreds of meters and it would have, would have seen dozens of casualties if in fact this happened. and it wasn't only the head of a trans nice trail, but also other high level officials that there were targeting now has multiple arrests. had them made one of them in particular, 40 year old man who was already a local criminal who moved to odessa some 12 years ago in ukraine. and apparently there he joined ukraine security services. this is what he claims now because the suspects are confessing from what we hear from the regional minister of defense. and they claim that it was ukraine security services who organized this and also

coordinated this out. but of course, as we know, ah, it was afford said, now let's hear some more from what the prosecutor of trends this say. what he had to say about this attack. miss them did those whom would solution the place where this terrorist attack was supposed to occur shows us that it was meant to target top government officials and to no less extent, inflict numerous civilian casualties. the terrorist attack was prepared to be conducted in the center of the city of toronto, paul, among a large number of our citizens. now a criminal case has been opened and also we know that the head of a trans nest res, back in his office with maximum security, as you can imagine. and they are planning for possible scenarios of a repeat to make sure that they are ready. they also want answers from ukraine based on what the suspects have told them, are in mainland moldova, the government there says they have no idea what is going on there that heard nothing about any terrorist attack and trans nestor. so this is where we're at

right now. according to julia, a political analysts based in moldova says that officials in key f, a falsely claiming that trans nisa, is seeking to attack ukraine. movie dim super. so we see the transistor doesn't have any mutual disposition, but keith says otherwise, they're seeing a certain threat. there, and they are afraid, or at least they see that the trans leister troops which are still not some numerous can launch a strike on this. but as we see the trans nister's forces are not that powerful. i think the trans mr. any cern will maintain a cautious policy towards ukraine who behaving a special way toward it. perhaps a kind of protest note will be sent. explanations will be required, but nothing more. nato secretary general gen stole to bug says that allowing the quran to be burned should not prevent sweden from entering nato. now this comes off a turkey,

i defended his decision to block stock homes. membership pointing out the fact that the country allowed the holy book to be set on fire. been in this d tub, we will not say yes to your entry into nato as long as you allow our holy book, the koran to be burned and torn apart, as well as allow this to be done with the approval of your security personnel to digest. yeah, i wanted to draw, this is an issue there was not included in the agreement and should not prevent sweden from becoming a member of nato. i have conveyed to turkey that people can have different opinions on quran burning lessons. many countries have laws that restrict such actions, but you can't ban everything you don't like. it was long, it was late january when political activists of ross must pollute dan burn the holy koran in front of the turkish embassy in stockholm. that the incident spot wide spread criticism all across the islamic world. it also setbacks sweetens bait to join nato with turkey holding veto power over sweden's succession to the military

alliance. now this, while many europeans have been calling the act and expression of the freedom of speech, while trilateral talks between sweden, finland, and turkey due to be held in brussels today. earlier ankara stated it will not support stalk homes application objecting to the way sweden handled the groups like the coast on work as party, an organization that turkey a considers to be terrorists or international law professor. my suit cason says that sweden does not fit the all for one nato principal. this is an independent state and aim to be are to be nefco member. however, if they want to be a member, they have to be open. the mean idea of they do net their 1st glass 1st, they have to apply things together to international terrorism and they provide, even though the situation they do sabotage and they continue forgotten that against

the cherokee, especially against our president. and, and when looking on acceptable situation to our whole, the biggest crop when you're looking the, you know, right, the idea on kara will not accepted the in the application we learned can artic apply. the former commander in the turkish are forces costs for the stealing arctic . apply one for all the for one. how can coming see, but then to protect our nation. ok, now as berlin continues to make us on wavering military support for key f, very well known some attributes in germany and now facing prosecution for simply expressing their opinions on the way to bring the conflict in ukraine to an end. one anti war activist heinrich booker, is facing up to 3 years in prison for making a speech against germany's support for the conflict. statements came at a memorial rally mark in the start of germany's invasion of the ussr. mister booker

runs the anti war cafe in berlin. where event saw regularly held against military intervention. now he says the german chancellor has views right now that do not align with the will of the people. uns in vase on ish to begin, the initial idea was to create a place where alternative media can be shown and discussed. i think that we have achieved that quite well for 3 years. we have also been organizing rallies at the brandenburg gate and berlin with friends and comrades from latin america. we have an international network, and by the way, they are all pro russian and pro chinese. what makes this movement quite unique is that we're all openly talking about the concept of a multi polar world. i fully stand behind the russian government and the motivations that have led to this conflict. because russia must have felt like it had a knife at his throat. yeah, that's after all those years where they tried to appeal to germany and to nato,

to stop his aggression to effect. i also somewhat backed the russian government and leadership by saying that we must understand why all of that happened. that was one of the reasons for me being charged. maria, i was accused of being a russian propagandist or a mouthpiece of the kremlin. and my lawyer has argued that i didn't commit any offence because i have the right to freedom of speech which is granted by the fundamental laws of germany. and no matter what i might have said. i also find those accusations completely unacceptable because the german government doesn't have any right to throw accusations at russia and interfere in russian affairs as they have been doing for years. i think this is unacceptable, and i will defend myself with all available means assume we need to constantly highlight how much of a role germany plays in this conflict, and what role germany could play if it changed its mind. got rid of this, russo phobia and positioned itself differently, not against russia,

but in support of russia. i think that we play a major role in this conflict. if germany just said, we don't want to be a part of this any more than everything would grind to a halt. i think this is what many germans want. millions of germans who aren't publicly res, their voices, but who are also taking to the streets. outrage against a proposed law to require a foreign influence to come out of the shadows. now that's what set off the political opposition in the republic of georgia who says that mass protest will not stop despite the parliament scrapping the controversial foreign agents bill of the legislation was cancelled after 2 nights of coordinated violence in the nation's capital with western partners condemning the theory that n g o is under like, need to show where the money is coming from. i need to have a look at this report. it says streamline, enlightening ortiz donald quarter. i meant the chaos in tbilisi. despite the george

and parliament caving into the main demands of the the, the main demand rather of these protesters to draft that bill. the opposition has declared they are going to continue these protests that have seen writers carrying european union flags and even american flags. here for 2 nights in a row now, now this draft bill in question of course would have seen a non governmental organizations in the country that receive over 20 percent of their funding from foreign sources to register as foreign agencies. it's important to understand that the united states has had a law like this long before it threatens organizations that fail to register with criminal penalties and jail time for its employees. so it is a bit ironic that it was the united states that actually threatened georgia with sanctions after the parliament tra, passed this draft law and threatened them with sanctions if they did not repeal that. so i've been here throughout the action space specifically last night, and as i said, you know,

the protests have been anything but peaceful. we saw molotov cocktails and fireworks shot at the police. we've seen a barricades being built. we've seen protesters to facing government buildings and businesses. we also saw them try to a storm the parliament building. this is, these are events that many have said are reminiscent of the euro. my don coup d'etat back and key of ukraine in 2014. so i was on the ground there, i saw with my own eyes, and i was regularly caught in the crossfire between tear gas deployed by the police and the rocks and fireworks molotov cocktails that were thrown by by protesters. ah, i protest with your alarming leave organized, like they know how to move as a unit they know into retreat as a unit. they don't leave anyone behind the advances the unit. they're playing basically like guerrilla warfare with the police here it's, it's crazy. it's never like any sort of protests i've ever seen in my life.

oh, you can see here the protest. they picked up on the benches and some or right scooters and greater, that makes it barricade out of it. this is practice similar stuff that we've been seeing since these protests we've riots again last night. they're doing exactly the same thing with fireworks in the police and the police are responding with water hoses all in that speaking you can hear on the loud speaker is basically warning all the

protesters to leave. otherwise the laser going to run them down with say a number of people were just arrested, a tear gas back at the police with that a lot of with basically the entire street even where they're not shooting tear gas is all already filled with tear gas

being pulled by the when the dawn getting caught up in the thick of it. well, we got the views of geopolitical analyst as most and as well as our serbian historian boy shall mileage the current situation in georgia. i haven't listened to the vast majority of law makers in the parliament vote in favor of the law. how is that not democracy? i mean it either. georgia has a state in which there are rules and procedures or, you know, whatever the american embassy says goes, but in that case, don't call it democracy, call it a colonies, call it an oligarchy, call or whatever. but it is definitely not a sovereign democracy. and yet here they are denouncing this is a russian law and saying this is against european values. but european union has harsher laws for people. they regard to be foreign agents and they've literally censored and band and confiscate a property of people that they consider to be interfering. the americans themselves

are inaccurate, foreign against political opponents and dissidence. so, and then you have the u. s embassy. think this is an attack on democracy. what gives if you still attack when democracy, why? why do you have your own law? why do you keep the enforced law at home? you can't possibly be that this law is terrible when enact that in georgia. but great when it acts in washington dc, it's obviously the rules based order rules for the not for me. so it's, you know, obviously there must be some type of in for through something to hide. because essentially the that i put a rule, i mean we've had it in place. in fact, i think there's a lot of rigid georgia. suppose one thing here is we've got a pro european pro western president and the party that basically control the parliament has ran on pro western issues. i think a country should have a more, you know,

i don't have any problems with that. having more visibility into their foreign influences, going on and then affecting our country and are ready because it basically when you've got clothes, the money coming in from other countries and influence going on. that really is an invasion that tack on the reality of a company. and have we have we seen that earlier and ukraine? maybe we wouldn't be in the situation that we are today. well, wimbledon has apparently caved in depression to lift the ban on russian and bella, russian tennis players. but with conditions player from the 2 countries will need to participate under neutral flags and showed no support for russia. well, the utah comes off there. wilma, there was stripped of it's a ranking is points last year for both men's and women's tours at the lawn. tennis association had even threatened to take away

a license to hold tournaments if the band was not overturned or before confirming that decision a wimbledon officials are seeking to have players sign a strict code of conduct. according to reports, the code will restrict any show of support for russia, such as carrying a national flag or even talking positively about the country, which would lead to sanctions or even the expulsion of the athlete from the tournament. well, let's course live not a sports columnist and co host over the radio show capital sports 3.0. alan more joining us here. a very well welcome to you, alan. always great to see you. thanks for coming in the program today. sorry. what do you think about this wimbledon binding? russian and bella, russian play in 2022. now, as considering lifting the ban, do you think it's a possibility? but also, i want to ask you apparently, players from russia and better russia can only participate under a neutral flag, the health and neutral fly gallon. what does that wife? i don't know. i think it's strange because for one or 2 days because of

doping scandals, they put the neutral seats into that that day because you know, because if you go into the da or a g p ranking this demand respectively, there's also a form of any of the various things, money talk the put down by westminster was because literally they were facing at 20000000 homes the whole that they will restrict the device the whole to the major wall tournaments. nice for, for the men and women before the charges and charges themselves last year, they were find $1500000.00. it was for funding russian. and there's

just a complete nonsense number tom food. everybody's people but sorry, sorry to jump in. may i do apologize? but you call this nonsense, i mean, i mean, some i call this discriminatory. what do you think about that? the great i spoke about on campus for super though may find that if we were doing the same, for example, to tennis players, let's just say the photo are the same. so i can say no, because you are there is a discrimination in because the court is because of his creed or whatever, maybe it is discrimination. it's where so we're, for example, in football or b, t sports and even a ball and the stadiums. safety issues came in to say, well, we have to go play, test is completely different, be, and we'll all have outliers, like the girl cost to ukraine, who discriminate against other people as well that she's,

she's not into the tennis of a whole. that's what we're to transfers today. 1 may, i won't be both take on the tour, both of them non know better. this is, do it's great it or that say it's awesome, that's great, that this is b, but they might have, might find a code of conduct, which is it is great. great. well, look, i mean, when is it to do with, you know, what the west likes to keep calling, you know, the whole, the isolation of russia. you know, you cannot say anything good about russia today. you can show any support to russia . whereas it's worth reminding that's only russia is being sanctioned by 15 percent of the world, 1515, not 5015. so the isolation of russia is some, i don't know, some propaganda based illusion. and so you have the hardcore propaganda then you have to soft stuff like blocking russian athletes and playing a certain sports and certain games, you know, they want to bring in geo politics. you know that this is sports,

this is wimbleton, you know, this is, this is no venue for geo politics, but you know what? no, let's take advantage of this and try and isolate russia further by doing this nasty business to, to that, to that tennis 1000 and athletes. i mean, look, they say that russia isn't a conflict, an unprovoked conflict. let's talk about yemen. saudi arabia, let's something tennis players from that. what about israel and palestine? what about the us against iraq? afghanistan, syria, i've done this on libya or as well. i mean, you look, it just doesn't seem fair at all. is wimbledon the right venue for geo politics to be front and center alan? no, i'm not. that's the honest but it's, it's not that long ago there was also turn in those people of color. it also was not a longer when the turner knows or people or jewish, it's all the law going to turn it on, people who are catholic. so this is, this is a very, very much. busy point in every sense, the word where all like later this is very would you call that is part of the,

let's just say the astonishment propaganda regime and that's all it is story and we can just simply put it like that what they're doing. sports out there because it's fair to each family right now. 100 thousands of pounds a we but that's not the way it is. we have to just look at it has been sport as a whole. has been high jobs by best interests, who will turn on rush all down the road toward wherever it is next. and one thing that a lot of countries and people i spoke with, for example, let's look, let's give very simply couple woke up guitar 2032 to rick. it went off. well, it was great. we were in people watching in a different place that go to the order standing, going to have to adopt a lot of what can be here coming. for example, the british mediate. where can we go to walk? any beer there?

why do we go to go to the there was, there was did sneering narrative that went through and she said that 50 percent or less than 10 percent sneering ever going to a country or one that they want to be no problem. pretty americans to have the biggest air base military base, the least it's allen, it's a sad sign of the times these days are sports columnist and co host of capital sports radio $3.00, alan moore. it's always great to see your thanks so much for that. are good to have your company for this program. so india is oil imports from russia hitting an old time high last month, 1600000 barrels a day. that surpasses the combined imports from as to why the major crude suppliers iraq and saudi arabia. this all comes as the oil trade between new delhi and moscow is set to drop the dollar as the 2 have resorted to using domestic currencies to

settle account. western sanctions have forced moscow to find ways to continue to export the russian black gold india. its front and center and reports are that the west has been hesitant, a sanctioned this russian pocket because it sells some of its import swell back to the west. india for its part, says trade with russia. we'll keep on growing russian supplies. we'll find some other banks for receiving payments. as it is, the government is not asking us to stop buying rush, no ill. so we are hopeful with an alternative payment mechanism will be found in case the current system is blocked when the router under india increase their economic cooperation beyond energy and a number of spheres from defense in medicine, manufacturing and textile trade. of this comes on western countries were counting on the quote, international isolation of moscow. but now many officials worldwide admit that plan has failed voices and now heard in europe,

that one complete separation from russian. we have to be careful, now, desires, russia will not disappear, but it will remain the use largest neighbor pretending that the country can be economically isolated. like north korea is a fallacy. this is simply impossible. well, the other i was, i speak with robin, the sergeant of president of the imagine the institute think tank. he says western states still believe sanctions work despite the boomerang effect. and despite russia finding alternative routes for its trade, if the us and the west thinks that the sanctions are not working, i'm in see the sanctions according to the risk all working in the long term. they're looking at alarm don't play, right. so what they will keep doing is increasing the sanctions and bit of the sanctions will keep on increasing in the coming months of that, perhaps there is no doubt to my minds and they're looking at the long term

perspective. so to my mind, yes, and that's only 2 of us has actually, you know, call them exemptions. they don't have any, any other methods. the more the dollar, the couples from various international trade and all what it will do is that it will push up the interest rates on the us treasury bills. us as a debt of about the odd clearly and dollars. so if the interest rates on the peebles goes up, it will hold america. so that can be a trend which will continue and grow. yeah, and so the multi polar well continues to last summer. we continue to see what is essentially a strengthening of strategic partnerships among that of the d dollarization cohen mission. thanks for joining us. we're back soon with the.
