ah ah, thousands of protesters take to the streets, enrolled dove, i demanding the nation's leader resign as authorities clamped down on the wave of demonstrators converging on the capitol staging appointed to new defense minister, whose under u. s. thank ship as the country's president shooting paint makes history being elected for a 3rd consecutive term. and for the 1st time in the country's history around the oil ministry announces a plan to issue some $6000000000.00 worth of oil bond. with

coming to you live from the russian capital. this is the weekly on our to international i merger blevins here with the top stories of this week. and today. welcome to the program. mo vents have taken to the streets to demand the resignation of the countries president, maya, sand, and other top government officials. the protest kicked off and the country's capital on sunday and have been met with a law enforcement cramped out. a local journalists on us this report. if we are at the great national assembly square where the protesters have approached people are chanting that the government needs to resign. riot police have now appeared at what began as a peaceful protest. but now we've just witnessed the 1st clashes as the police are responding very aggressively to the protesters. the police have blocked passage so the protesters can't go any further. at the moment,

the police say that more than 50 people have been arrested. authorities have accused foreign intelligence agencies of organizing the protests in order to destabilize the situation in the country and claims that the rally was specifically organized by russians. special services to police have blocked bus services and built c. but despite this, the protesters decided to continue on foot to take part in the demonstrations in the countries capital. law enforcement claims. the blocking of transport was to prevent what they call an organization of mass riots, a member of the mold over parliament. marina talbert has just said that this is the 1st case in 30 years. authorities have a law, leslie prohibited residents from attending rallies. protesters say they are angry with the government for failing to keep its word and ignoring the problems the country is facing right now. will not shoot, provide to school. i came out to protest because our government does not keep its promises price his, i'll get in higher, especially on energy. the government promises to raise salaries and pensions,

but promises are not kept. the government does nothing. so this is how we're going to achieve justice, like in the lower number. sadly, moldova want to solve our issues ourselves. it's true, there are a lot of pensioners at the protest because the pension is scanty and electricity prices are growing more expensive. people are right. no one can violate our right to protest as our government does right now. oh, you're good. i mean the, what we came here to defend the justice of republic of mo baba, we stand up against corruption. we want our modern language to be preserved. although as a 1000 year history, our own language, and now we're being told we must use romanian language. european studies professor stephen guy edge believes the moldova government's rhetoric against russia is dangerous and that it is feeling unrest. i think that the main tourist of the, of the vast majority of the population, regardless of their linguistic or ethnic background is or beast to remain in the

country. and the problem that they face is a maya. some do and who governments that is constantly fueling the fears on one side and also it is it, is it fueling this a hockey, frederick doors towards moscow? what the thought it was most going just a couple of weeks ago. my son who came out to the theory that serbian citizens are involved in conspiracy with moscow against against mobile doevema. and this was proven to be wrong. this is quite dangerous and i honestly hope for both countries to remain a peaceful and neutral in the conflict that is going on. turning now to the conflict in ukraine, 3 people have been killed in 15 injured, including 2 children, due to shelling, bike heads forces and look on sk region, a local supermarket,

and to petrol stations were head according to local authorities. the reports also say that the strife was carried out using americans applied high mars rocket launchers, the local head of the region, as called this tragic incident. a ukrainian terrorist attack intended to cause maximum damage to civilians. this comes after another strike sunday on the residential area and donnette severely damaging several homes and leaving one woman wounded. this i repeated pledges from nato chiefs that the alliance will do everything it takes for as long as it takes when it comes to arming ukraine against russia. western media outlets are now questioning if that's really the case. some have pondered whether the west is actually doing enough, while others have called out key mistakes in the war and recommend a change of tactics. so to go further in depth on this last cross live now to a new york state independent candidate for the u. s. senate diane's there, diane,

it's great to have you on the program today. now let's start out with this article from politico which says that president biden isn't doing enough to help you. crane . and yet billions and billions of dollars have gone to kiev in the last year, along with some of the most advanced weaponry on the market. so what more does the outlet want, and are you surprised by the tone that they're taking right now? no, not exactly. and i do have to say that these things are not occurring in a vacuum. there is a number of developments, one that knew congress, which all of whom don't want to continue writing blank checks. but to be extraordinary agreement the china just the broker to between iran and saudi arabia . and the fact that back in february, china put forward to 12 point proposal for negotiated ceasefire between

russia and ukraine. the united states, nato. the u. k. the west, frankly have lost the moral authority. they've lost the upper hand in the eyes of most of the world. the revelations by seymour hersh on the north string pipeline bombing. all of these things, i think, are contributing factors to what might be, hopefully would be a shift in u. s. policy in the with regard to ukraine. you know, that's a really great point. and it is interesting to see kind of where the media is still standing, almost leading that chart, which currently they have been cheerleading for war for years and years now. so it doesn't really come as a surprise, but what do you make of the fact that there are still these articles out there saying that the biden administration isn't doing enough? when, as you noted, there are members in congress kind of realizing that if they want to keep the support of their constituents, they're going to have to stop writing that blank check. yeah,

well i think that some people part of what we call the military industrial complex would like to continue this. you may know back in 2007, the london economist actually had an article about looking back on the e you 100 years from now or something like that. so march of 2007 before obama even had won the democratic nomination, or maybe even declared they were hypatia sizing. that there was going to be a show down between obama and couldn't over ukraine in which obama would threaten the use of nuclear weapons to prevent who isn't from invading ukraine. i mean, think about that. so this is a script which has been going for a long time. it is not speculative of president putin to say that the intention of the west is the dismemberment of russia. that has been said very clearly. and i think that most americans really wouldn't agree with this

policy. but again, i think there are major changes also in the world, not to mention the looming bankruptcy of the transit atlantic financial system. as we just saw with this, at least 3 bank failures over the last 48 hours in the united states. yeah, there's certainly is a lot going on that is much bigger on that global stage than just ukraine. and i want to come back to a point that you mentioned earlier, which is that, you know, you have china proposing some sort of piece plan at least something. and granted, that may not be what everybody wants, but the fact that they're putting out a plan, they're saying, hey, let's talk about this. let's consider coming to some sort of agreement is more than the united states is doing right now. and then at the same time, you have the us saying, hey, let's throw more weapons into this conflict was even look at possibly sending f 16 fighter jets. what kind of message do you think that that approach sends to the

rest of the world when it comes to what the united states continues to do and their continued policy in ukraine? well, who is managing the rest of the world is wondering whether we've lost our minds look at the administration and then wonder if the american people agree or disagree . and of course, that's why i participated a couple weeks ago in that range against the war machine rally in washington. which was quite remarkable because it pulled people from very diverse political backgrounds. and i might say it through quite a freak out among the pro war. so called liberal news media that you would have people seeing through the fake and arbitrary divisions in the american public to come together to say no more funding for this war. it included demand for abolishing nato abolishing the ca,

freeing juliana sanchez that included kelsey gabbert. ron paul, dennis kristen edge, i was one of the speakers there as well. a video clip from how it gets la ruesch. the schiller institute, very diverse. rachel mad. alan m s n b c had a 3 minute meltdown over the rally. trusting to down play. it and claim it was just a bunch of fringe elements and remnants of the room cult that's what i am, i guess. aside from being appropriate in propagandist i why are they so freaked out? because because the divisions are fake and of people come together, this will end. and you may have seen that congressman mat gates of florida introduce the resolution for the us troops to get out of syria. while it didn't pass, it got 103 votes, 321 against. but the vote was 56 democrats and 47

republicans. that is new. that is a new development. if the 2 parties can come together for peace. wow, i will say if you get a 30 minute meltdown from rachel, not olive, and you're probably doing something right there. but, i mean, in addition to that, you know, seeing this bipartisan back and forth, we've had so many years of both parties coming together to vote for war to vote for increasing the defense budget every single year. do you think we're finally getting to that point where americans are actually waking up and realizing that it doesn't matter if their political beliefs do differ? but as you noted at the rage against the war machine rally, you had so many people with so many different views coming together. do you think that that is the future of where america is at least hopefully headed at this point? i do. i do think it is moving in that direction and i have to say the dynamic that

day was serene. i people clearly came knowing that we had various and in some cases, not in substantial disagreements with one another, but we were not going to let anything get in the way of sending a unified message that this war, this war mongering policy has to stop. and i've never seen anything quite like it the of the atmosphere of goodwill. the, there were people with ukrainian flags riding through and bicycles and clown trying to provoke nobody even bad it. and i, no one was even going to be ruffled or incited. so i think this process actually is going to grow. i think we start with the gates bill, which i was very heart and i'm sorry it didn't pass. i think what we're doing in syria is an abomination. but they, you know, look what the senate when they vote on sanctions on russia,

it's usually 98 to 2 or something like that. i mean, they're usually total, even a fried and like lock step on war. this is indicative of, of a shift. i think it means the american people, it's not true that your voice doesn't matter. that americans, i think have to take more responsibility for our government. yeah, absolutely. there certainly is a lot to be learned here. unfortunately, we're going to have to leave it right there. but diane, their independent candidate for the us senate in the state of new york. thank you so much for your time and insight today. thank you. aah! china's key political event named the 2 sessions has seen several fresh appointments to the government that includes the nations new defense minister, who notably has been under us, sanctioned since 2018 for allegedly buying military equipment from russia. we heard

earlier from a c. j. jan correspondent, who says the fact that the minister is sanctioned does not bode well for the prospect of restoring dialogue between beijing and washington dispos. i'd treat friction since your political attentions back then. i mean, 5 years ago, china that you were still maintaining to clar magic and security dialogue which haven't been seen these days. many chinese new defense minister, just appointed today is now under the us sanctions. he would not have a decent meeting with any us officials or he's your counterpart. so we are not expecting the leaders meeting between the 2 sides in terms of you know, security talks. if you know the new ministries under sanctions, you would not provide or create any good atoms for, for the 2 sides to restore the dialogue mechanism, which would not lead to any better environment for to bother retires. so i think

the washington has to consider if it has to mix some moves towards that your the country's new premier was also a fresh appointment this week. he previously served does the secretary of the chinese communist party in shanghai. the premier's nomination was supported by shooting pain, who recently made history as china's 1st president to be elected very 3rd consecutive term. following his re election president, she confirmed his allegiance to the country and its people. i pledge to be a legion to the constitution of the people's republic of china and safeguard the constitution's authority. fulfill my legal obligations be loyal to the country and the people be committed and honest in my duty except the people supervision and work for a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful. i,

eugene p. take this oath. during this session, the chinese foreign minister express hope that the you will embrace with key called strategic independence from the u. s. after the end of the conflict in ukraine, he added it's the west which is escalating the conflict while pursuing its owner janda all the while undermining china's proposed settlement plan. already are you honish? regrettably, however, efforts for peace talks have been repeatedly undermined. there seems to be an invisible hand pushing for the per traction. an escalation of the conflict and using the cream crisis to serve a certain geopolitical agenda. china's foreign minister added that washington is disrespecting beijing sovereignty tensions rose last august. when then, how speaker nancy pelosi ignored all warnings and paid an official visit to taiwan, sparking a sharp response from beijing and prompting large scale military drills around the island. the minister were not there parker c at the u. s. position saying that

while washington respects the territorial integrity of ukraine, a disregard the fact that taiwan is an undeniable part of china. i love and he shirt from god, the chinese people have every right to ask. why does the us talk about respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity and ukraine? war disrespecting, china sovereignty and territorial integrity on the taiwan question? why does u. s. gas china not to provide weapons to russia? well, it keeps selling arms to taiwan in violation of the august 17th communique. why does the u. s. keep on professing the maintenance of regional ties and stability while cowardly formulated in a plan for the destruction of taiwan? whereas deputy foreign minister says bilateral ties with china are driving the u. s . and its allies around the world. crazy. he delivered his comments and an exclusive interview here on our tea that she had. and i many guns of this book

would obviously americans are concerned that her comprehensive partnership and the whole complex of our ties, multi faceted and deep have received an additional impetus and continued to develop despite all our enemies attempts to upset them and damage our relations. the americans seem to understand that the russia, china nexus is one of the pivotal elements in the formation of a new multi polar world order. and it is, if you like, an antidote to the american dictate and american hedge ammonia. we work with the people's republic of china, hand in hand, standing shoulder to shoulder, resisting the onslaughts of our enemies. we have a lot of projects and we have the groundwork for our work with china. if we have no hidden agendas, we are driven by the desire to ensure a stable development and a prosperous feature for our states and our people's. and that just seems to drive our enemies crazy in washington and some other capitals. their nervous reaction to what is happening is further confirmation that the course we have chosen with beijing is the right one. i am for the 1st time and the country's

history around oil ministry has announced a plan to issue billions of dollars worth of oil bonds. are tedious if jill ali has been looking at the story and its regional implications. as western sanctions continue to weigh on iran soil sector, the petroleum bridge country is exploring no ways to keep this strategic industry up and running, and a bit to rampart domestic oil sales, iran soil minister, javan oj announced a new initiative officer for the day, the certificate of deposit of crude oil and gas, condensation is an initiative that was launch falling the deliberations between the stock exchange organization, the ministry of economic affairs and finance. in the central bank, the initiative allows us to attract micro local investors and increase public participation in the domestic oil market. in fact, it will diversify oil exports as well. in 2018 iran was the 3rd largest oil producer in the organization of petroleum exporting countries,

following washington's reinstatement of sanctions on to iran that here many western oil giants left the country. and iran soil outputs almost have to less than $2000000.00 barrels per day. exports also tumble to less than $1000000.00 barrels per day, down from 2 and a half 1000000. the petroleum industry has always been vulnerable to global developments. and now the recent rapprochement between iran and saudi arabia to opec members could fundamentally reshape the outlook for the oil market. besides bridging their political disputes, did one and reorder are also expected to resolve their differences in the energy sector. a casing point is the disputed altura or all rash gas field located in a disputed maritime area in the persian gulf, which has not yet been demarcated to iran is critical of quite on saudi arabia's exploitation of the field. saying iran also has a stake in the area believe to have an estimated half a trillion cubic meters of proven gas reserves,

bath and all that in of definitely the recent development regarding the resumption of our ties with 3 odd will help to build the joint fields with our neighbors, we have proposed the development of these fields be done by both countries that share the fields in the opec and opec plus meeting. we are very close approaches with saudi arabia, with regards to oil export. fortunately, the decisions that have been made at opec, another class over the past few months, were all a result of joint deliberations between iran and saudi arabia. for energy hungry china, mediating between teheran and re off to improve ties between the states will help ensure its energy security as the world's 2nd largest economy. beijing is heavily reliant on foreign oil and gas. figures show that more than 70 percent of the countries oil is imported. beijing has been a major buyer of iranian oil, even at the height of their west's economic pressure against iran. it has also been saudi arabia's largest oil importer it to mean on by the raining saudi resumption of ties would increase chinese certainty regarding the oil market and improve its

access to crude oil. the move will also increase the supply boil from the persian gulf to the east, and this will reduce oil prices since china leads the market in terms of oil demand . when the u. s. craft, the 2015 iran nuclear deal with world powers. it fell to bring terrance crude sales to 0. but this did not happen as a result of china and russia, continuing their business with iran against all odds. now china's latest move is believed to offer both iran in saudi arabia, a host of new opportunities as to energy powers. use of to roddy r t to run the u. k. government's latest move to crack down on illegal immigration has been stirring up plenty of had lies. prime minister re, she so next sparked controversy after a to eat saying migrants would be denied access to the u. k. 's modern slavery system. if you come to the united kingdom illegally,

you can't claim asylum. you cons benefit from all modes and slavery protections you can't make spurious. human rights claims yukon, stay. the plan is the government's latest response to a record number of people illegally entering the country by boat from france. last year, the authorities signed a deal with rwanda to deport fail. the asylum seekers there. although the move was halted by the high court, it's all led to one prominent bbc host, taking the twitter, comparing the government's plans and the language it used to germany's migration policies of the 19 thirty's. there is no huge influx. we take for fuel refugees and other major european countries. this is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by germany in the 30s. and i'm out of order.

former football star gary lenika is one of the broadcast tops for its host, but he's now been suspended by the corporation which said his social media activity breached it's impartiality guidelines. that decision to remove in spark to boycott, not only by his co host, but almost all other sports presenters and commentators at the v. b. c. and he's far from the only one questioning the government's campaign. gonna get me some slaves before it's legal. the government tech control for came by saying if you get people here that will have no protection from slavery, an unforgivable message, a sentence which shames the country and everything. it stands for. this is absolutely disgraceful, complete application of humanity, filmmaker and professor tim wilson believes the u. k. government's failure to solve the refugee crisis has seen it resort to the language of racism, while gary lynn occurs b, b. c. suspension was neither fair nor honorable. the real issue is

that we are, we're going to end up with people in this country who are in the state of limbo. they cannot be given asylum because they're not going to be refused. they almost certainly cannot be returned back. many of them will refuse to go back. i, i think in terms of a practical solution. how do you return people back to a country like a gun, as don or yemen? also done, it simply isn't going to work. it's the language of racism which has been invoked through and a policy is absurd. it doesn't work. it's caught up in legal, illegal wrangle at the moment. and even if it does end up getting through germany, going to deal with 20300 people at a huge expense. it's gesture, politics is window dressing. it's a plaster on a, on a major, gaping saw in terms of re suspension. was it? is it fair?

i think probably the answer is no. but was it conducted honorably? absolutely not. initially the baby that the been a mutual decision. it clearly wasn't that was clearly as it would have imposition. and that is what led to the walk out of all the sports presented as a us democratic congressman has slammed the pro western government in his one was bad for its inability to tackle threats posed by local militant groups. a reader's pakistan, a branch of the taliban, known as the t p. p is waging open war with the government, engaging and blackwell, terrorism, and the murder of hundreds of police officers. the countries underfunded. police

force is battling an enemy armed to the teeth with american weapons that were left behind and the chaotic withdrawal of afghan, a stand for prime minister and ran khan had its i'm did negotiations with the militants before being ousted from office. a journalist and foreign affairs expert we spoke to believes that washington should try to help pakistan rather than blame the government. it's a very consistent statement about nike states because actually the biggest reason for that is mac and i'm planning to be drawn from a ms. dunn, and that is the main thing that has to come to do when it comes to, you know, we talk about all of the main door. there is no arms come into the hands of d, t p or other groups. it is because of that. they are not properly disposed or not properly made it somewhere. it could have not been these 2

groups and it is not anybody asked them, but they're meant to be the way they left. and now we have seen that if the sun is not really controlled by the government in easton for we see that in the southern for many other groups and issues which are controlling the country. and that is the typical fear be to be had before even american vitro. that if there will be not a proper government if they will not be proper. have been drawn from american the east to be literal support for the government of pakistan. and other than blaming the response or anything. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates was the right back here at the top of the hour. mm

hm. with a bunch i she took long with the messages on the, on the wall. no question. a william which is a new also say i took the decision by your promotional session. there's a question i have to deal with that there's a show, but you.
