a medicines and supplies and free with with thousands of protesters take to the streets in moldova, demanding, the nation's leader resigned as authority clamp down on the wave of demonstrators converting on the capital. beijing appointed new defense minister put under us thanks. as the country's president shooting thing, makes history being elected for a 3rd consecutive term. and for the 1st time in the country of history, around the oil ministry and now to the plan to issue some $6000000000.00 worth of oil with

coming to live from the russian capital. this is r t international i rachel blevins . here with the latest news, welcome to the programmer, moldova have taken to the streets to demand the resignation of the country's president, maya, sand, and other top government officials. the protest kicked off in the country's capital on sunday and have been met with a law enforcement cramped down a local journalists on us this report. oh, we're 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 the stabilize the situation in the country.

and claims that the rally was specifically organized by russian special services to police have blocked bus services in betsy. 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 modem in parliament. marina caliber has just said that this is the 1st case in 30 years. authorities have a lawless li, prohibited residence from attending rallies. protesters say they are angry with the government for failing to keep its word and ignoring and problems the country is facing right now. blew lawsuit procedures before i came out to protest because our government does not keep its promises. prices 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 numbers, actually, madeau van's 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. that's up to you when you, when we came here to defend the justice of the republic of mo baba, we stand up against corruption. we want our moldova language to be preserved, although as a 1000 year history, our own language. and now we're being told we must use romanian language. here. pan said his professor stephen guy edge believes the mold open government's rhetoric against russia is dangerous, and that it is fueling unrest. i think that the main interest of the, of the vast majority of the population regardless. busy 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 hawkish frederick towards, towards moscow? what the thought it was most going just a couple of weeks ago, my assumption came out with the theory that serbian citizens are involved in conspiracy with moscow against, against mobile dover. and this was proven to be wrong. this is quite dangerous. and i honestly hope for both countries still remain a peaceful and neutral in the conflict that is going on china's key political or that name. 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 cdn correspondent who says the fact that the minister is sanctioned does not bode

well for the prospect of restoring dialogue between beijing and washington. despite by trade friction, since your political tensions back then, i mean 5 years ago, china, the u. s. tools were still maintaining to clar matic and security dialogue which haven't been seen these days. many chinese new defense minister just appointed to day is now under the u. s. and sanctions, he would not have a decent meeting with any us officials or he's on his 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, or you would not provide or create any good atmosphere for the 2 sides to restore the dialogue mechanism, which would not lead to any a better environment for the bi retires. so i think are the washington has to

consider if it has to mix some moves towards that in the countries new premier was also a fresh appointment this week he previously served as the secretary of the chinese communist party in shanghai. the premier's nomination was supported by shing thing, who recently made history as china's 1st president re elected for a 3rd consecutive term following his re election, president shake confirmed his allegiance to the country and its people. washer. should 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 obligation will 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, pe,

take this oath. during this session, the chinese foreign minister expressed hope that the e will embrace what he called strategic independence from the us after the end of the conflict in ukraine. he added, it's the west which is escalating the conflict while pursuing its own agenda 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 and 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 changes wrote last august. when then, how speaker nancy pelosi ignored all warnings and paid an official visit to taiwan, forking a sharp response from beijing and prompting large scale military girls around the island. the minister pointed out the hypocrisy of the u. s. physician saying that

while washington respects the territorial integrity of ukraine, it disregards the fact that taiwan is an undeniable part of china. and he should go, the chinese people have every right to ask. why does the us talk about respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity and ukraine? what disrespecting china sovereignty and territorial integrity on the taiwan question. why does you ask us 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. russia, as 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 didn't, i me to cancel this book would obviously americans are concerned that her

comprehensive partnership and the whole complex of our ties. multifaceted 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 dick tie an 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 in a prosperous future for our states and our people. so, 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 ah,

turning now to the conflict and ukraine. 3 people have been gil than 15 injured, including 2 children here is shelling by keith's forces in logan's region. a local supermarket and 2 petrol stations were head according to local authorities. the reports also say that the strike with carried out using americans applied high mars rocket launchers. the local head of the region has called this tragic incident, a ukrainian terrorist attack intended to cause maxim damage to civilians. this comes after another strike sunday on a residential area and done as severely damaging several homes and leaving one woman wound it is they repeated pledges from nato chase that the alliance will do everything it takes for as long as it takes when it comes to arm in ukraine against russia, western media outlets are now questioning if that's really the case. so have pondered whether the west is actually doing enough while other have called out key

mistakes in the war. a and recommended a change of tactics. we got reaction to the story from jeffrey young, a democratic candidate for the governor of kentucky, and diane's. they're a new york state independent candidate for the u. s. senate. i think the one accurate thing about the political article was that there is disagreement in the people who run american military and foreign policy about how much more support are weapons to send to you. great, there there is that's, that's real, that's accurate. there is disagreement. so but the problem is that ukraine has already lost this, or nato has already lost a score. russia is going to achieve whatever objectives it was within the next several months. and there's nothing, any nato country,

including the united states can do to stop that. so air debate, how much, how many more weapons this is irrelevant? 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 a broker to between iran and saudi arabia and the fact that back in february, china put forward to 12 point proposal for negotiated the fire 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 revelation sy, 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. for the 1st time in the country's history around the oil ministry has announced a planned issue. billions of dollars worth of oil bonds are use of drill. 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 in a bit to rampart domestic oil sales, iran soil minister, javan oj announced a new initiative. ok. so 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 and the organization of petroleum exporting countries. following washington's reinstatement of sanctions ought to wrong that. here many western oil giants left, the country and iran soil outputs almost half 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 in saudi arabia to opec members could fundamentally reshape the outlook for the oil market. besides bridging their political disputes, did one and re off are also expected to resolve their differences in the energy sector. a case important 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 and 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 are the native 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 country's oil is imported, measuring has been a major buyer of iranian oil, even at the highest of the west's economic pressure against iran. it has also been saudi arabia's largest oil importer it to me. nanda the reigning saudi resumption

of ties, would increase chinese 70 regarding the oil market and improve its access to crude oil. the move will also increase the supply oil 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 toronto 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 willing to offer both iran and 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 craft on, on a legal immigration has been stirring up plenty of had lies. prime minister re, she soon ack sparked controversy after a tweet 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 legally entering the country by bow from france. last year, the authorities signed a deal with rwanda to deport bell. the asylum seekers there. although the move was halted by the high court, it's all led to one prominent b, b. c host. taking the twitter, comparing the government's plans in 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 linux is one of the broadcasters top sports host, but he's now been suspended by the corporation which said his social media activity breached its impartiality guidelines. the decision to remove em, sparked to boycott, not only by his co host, but almost all other sports presenters and commentators as the b, b. c. and he's far from the only one questioning the government's campaign. gonna give 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 and unforgivable message, a sentence which shames the country and everything. it stands for. this is absolutely disgraceful. complete application of humanity. we spoke to independent journalists from uganda, colton sco via naca maya, as well as british filmmaker and professor tim wilson to get their perspective on

the controversy. the real issue is that we are where 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 i've got this done or yemen also done, it simply isn't going to work. it's the language of racism which has been invoked. luwanda policy is absurd. it doesn't work. it's caught up in legal, in a legal wrangle at the moment. and even if it does end up getting through, it's only going to do with $2300.00 people as a huge expense. it's gesture. politics is window dressing. it's a plaster on a, on

a major, gaping saw in terms of the suspension. was it? is it fair? i think probably the answer is no. but was it conducted honorably? absolutely not. initially the baby can be 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 presenter as the government have from the candidates, these refugees also entitle to some ministry. they have some right? i mean, it's a matter of just understanding the problem and fixing what, what exactly do these people one or the 2nd, right. we don't really see taking us back to where every younger you have the right to freedom of expression period on isn't, isn't in title mean stress body freedom of appealing on. he's not only on the title

meant over 40 saying that john, is it simply because what that jesus was saying was not a cause son or did bbc on the waiting one for the course on to other people? so likewise, the bbc should actually make sure that young resume under the audio premiums respected ego pinion. he's a reflection of so many other people that don't ha, my phone a u. s. democratic congressman has slammed the pro western government in islam about for its inability to tackle threats posed by local militant groups. the ability institutions to reliably provide people ways to resolve readers, exploited a pakistani ranch of the taliban known as the t p. if he is waiting open more with

the government, engaging in blackmail, terrorism and the murder of hundreds of police officers, the countries underfunded police forces battling an enemy armed to the teeth with american weapons that were left behind in the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. former prime minister around con, out attempted negotiations with the militants before being ousted from office or journalist stand foreign affairs expert. we spoke to believes, washington to try to help pakistan rather than blame the government. it's a very inconsistent statement by making states because actually the biggest reason for that is the american. i'm planning to be drawn from a list. 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 come into the hands of d,

t p or other group. it is because of that there was not properly disposed or not properly, you know, you know, made it somewhere. it could have not been these 2 groups and it is not anybody else to be in, but their math and the way they left. and now we can, we have seen that if, why my son is not really controlled by government in easton for we see that in the southern for many other groups and the nations which are controlling the country. and that is the typical i, you know, we to be had before even american vitro. that is, there will be not proper government data if they're knocking proper. they draw from american the, these to be literal support for the government of pakistan. and other than blaming the response or anything when i'm niger areas, most prominent business woman who manages the african countries largest and busiest

port system has decried the problem of stereotypes in the workplace and called for greater gender equality that says women are still failing to actively engage in politics as once again seen in the recent general election. r g correspondent, poland david takes up the story. oh my give us. yeah. little headed. i'm swayed somebody else. it's is it is a women. yes. very few of them take part in any political process. as these has been a setback for the country somewhat crafted developments. the numbers every year keeps twin late. right now, the chance house as a witness, the father reduction in the number of women who were successfully elected the major challenges. i've been in such an increase in violence, dogwood and also the social cultural maria. i wanted you to know what you need. you to also appeal that connection is unsecured, shouldn't be provided,

especially for women who are running elections so that we can match the men by with just how to go. first of all and then try and answer the issue of finance, which has been, it made us tell them i am here to serve the interest of everything on that. i also want them to understand the process for fixing that. you're in not just just something to work on the people. we all have to join hands together with all the goals and no one wants to buy and the latest presidential legislative elections. women accounted for less than 5 percent of political positions. my theory has never had the female presidents, vice president. it's also one of the lowest performing countries. as far as representation in parliament is concerned. you are not doing women,

the people. when you give them, you know, when you grant opportunities for them to be there. any decision that you make depends on who is in a boardroom, any body decision depends on who is in the boardroom. you can all we had issues of what are people. this is the mil parliament, the hall, you know, in, in the about 11 states. you have member, you know how these are somebody that i'm not a single woman and they have women committees. i'm really not sitting in women committees. what do they know about the pins or women? last year, 510, the bills presented to the mil dominated parliament were voted out. the bill sought to provide special needs for women or the national assembly. i located that 5 percent of political positions for women. create a $111.00 additional seats in the national assembly and the state constitutions assembly and a commitment. the women have been uplift 10 percent of ministerial appointments. there is however, optimism, but the new administration i do i recently i should in well consider allowing more women to become decision makers in the country. hello david. i would see

a boucher that's all for now. be sure to check out our t. v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you next time. ah ah.

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy going from the station. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments. oh, so i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult arm time to sit down and talk with while most of us think that sy fy films are merely fantasy. there are those who try to push the limits of technology in the human body to make those fantasies a reality. bio hackers are those want to hack their bodies and minds using scientific and technological advances to modify their own bodies and push the

limits of human biology. this includes using technology to optimize and augment the body and also drugs to expand the mind. the smart drugs, or new tropics as an emerging market that claim to make you smarter, enhanced memory and making more efficient. in essence, bio hackers are helping to test our limits and are constantly pushing the boundaries when it comes to trying to upgrade us. as human. i'm christy i and you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be exploring the world a bio hacking. and if this is simply a trend or the next big movement mm. with bio hacking, as a broad, an amorphous term that can cover many activities. popular hacks include intermittent fasting supplements, or using wearable technologies to track sleep and heart rate. take that one step

further and then you have things like sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber cryo therapy for muscle recovery, red light therapy for anti aging. and more that have been popularized by silicon valley rolls like jack dorsey and other famous figures. and then on the far end of that spectrum, you have the blurred edges between tex, biotech and human. you had things like elan mosques, neuro link, which is a brain implant company with initial goal is to help people with paralysis, to regain independence through the control of computers and mobile devices. while it is said that neuro link is working well in monkeys, he hopes to test it on humans with severe spinal cord injury is like tetra paralegic or quadriplegics in the near future. another company thing crohn is also working on similar technology as it plans to place a device called the central road, which is smaller than a match stick into the brain to.
