ah, with more than 2 tons of uranium goes missing in libya from the sides, not controlled by the interim government. that's according to the chief of the international atomic energy agency. global financial system shaken by a plunge in the stock of switzerland, 2nd largest bank, renewing face of another financial crushed and rushes. that minister defense caused american drone flights near russia's border provocative pentagon and russian officials communicate the 3rd time in month following an american v crush in the black sea on tuesday with

4 pm on thursday afternoon. here in moscow. my name is peter scott, and welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis on our team. now we start off in libya, we're over 2 tons of uranium has gone missing from a sites not controlled by the inter and governments. as according to statements by the international atomic energy agency, chief raphael glossy i. ain specter is found. the 10 drums contin, approximately 2 and a half tons of natural uranium in the form of uranium or concentrate previously declared by libya as being stored at that location were not present at the location . the loss of knowledge about the present location of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns autonomy live now in the studio is r t correspondent, steve sweeney. steve, what do we know about this unions from as well as we just heard from the un nuclear watchdog, more than 2 tons of uranium has gone missing in libya, the agency couldn't say when it went missing and the location is unclear at this

stage. other than that, it's in territory not control buys the u. impact in trim government. there. now is important to note that the rain is not in rich. that means it's not weapons ready for former libyan leader. mama could duffy, of course, renounce the nuclear program back in 2003. but of course it could be enriched over time. and that's the concern at this stage. we don't know who is responsible for its disappearance and wants to sit your life situation as a whole, like in libya at the moment when it remains very volatile. now, libya descended into a quagmire after the 2011 nato bombing campaign and the western packing of armed militia that they tried to. so play this, they tried to sell it as a popular uprising against a brutal dictator. mammography. colonel gadhafi needs to step down from power and leaf gadhafi must stop fighting without conditions and

clearly show that he has given up any claim to control libya. now, kathy himself warned that the west was seeking to asked him in order to plunder libya's resources lamara. there is a conspiracy to control libyan oil, to control the libyan land, and to colonize libby, again, this is impossible, impossible. and we will fight into the last man and woman to defend libya. now get duffy was killed in the most brutal manner and his death was most famously celebrated by then you a secretary of state, henry clinton. here is a reminder. yes, we came. we saw a died where the country has been unstable. ever since with various all militia, including including islamic state vying for control and the country effectively split in 2 with 2 parallel governments. the u and batch government of national a cold, based in tripoli and the other government which was based in tow brooker,

supported by those forces surrounding general cali for a half an hour. both sides have international support and some countries, including france, have been the case of packing both sides, but efforts of a cease fire and a to form a national government have proved difficult alms. embargoes have been repeatedly broken and elections have been postponed indefinitely. so was next, while the i e, a has said the investigations are ongoing, but they've been light on detail about that. they've been formed at their member states, but they remain concerned over nuclear security and exactly who has got their hands on this uranium. but it is clear that the western intervention in libya has made the country and indeed the world a more dangerous place. indeed was steve, thanks very much for breaking that down for us. thank you. you know the news banking stocks in asia have taken a tumble following reports that the cuts us trophic turmoil

a mega bank credit suisse could have worldwide repercussions. drug in global markets. lower news broke japan topics. banks index dropped by 6.4 percent during the morning. session with hong kong as the standard chartered and south korea's ship, one financial group training close behind unraveling investor confidence across continents. since banking shares were hammered in both europe and new york that comes up to credit suisse banks. stock plus rattled global markets with a swift central bank stepping in with a $53000000000.00 lifeline credit suites, his biggest shareholder saudi national banks that it wouldn't boost it's jer past the current level of just under 10 percent. nothing turn trigger the fall of 30 percent increase. we shares that cause this is across financial markets, sparking a slump in major indices. now this comes hot on the heels of financial turmoil in the u. s. where the collapse of 2 major banks has sent ripples throughout the financial world,

also contributes. rachel mazda has more. the failure of silicon valley bank in the united states is sending shock waves through europe's financial system. and it's also sending its bank stocks into free fall on wednesday with the european press, making the link between the u. s. crisis and new trouble for europe's banking sector. cutty cerise had dropped on zurich. stock market by mid day. it's top investor, the saudi national bank said that they won't help cushion the blow by buying any more than the 9.8 percent of the shares that they already own, since they want to avoid any new regulatory regimes. they kick in above 10 percent investment economists, new rail rubini said in an interview that they could histories crisis is a quote, lehmann moment for european and global markets. referring to the layman brothers collapse that sparked the 2008 economic crisis in the united states. which then spread to europe. french banks were especially hit hard on wednesday with trading

of frances b and b about he bass stocks temporarily halted earlier in the day as its value plunged. as did that associate isn't it? i'm could. yeah. are they curl and germany's chorus bank, the ceo of global investment giant black rock. larry, thank suggest that silicon valley bank was just the 1st domino to fall, calling it a quote, slow rolling crisis with quote more seizures and shut downs coming. but just these earlier french economy in finance minister blaine or the mer insisted that everything was just fine. and he seemed kind of annoyed with suggestions otherwise come down and just have a look at the really t 2, etc. that to bang such who just mentioned sunday, which had a french banking system is not exposed to the city can bank. as he converted bank you snot explore, to do silicon valley bank. so there is no links between the different situations.

there is no specific concern on the full defense banks. now, the men was also told french state t, v, that there was not a risk of contagion in france and that french banks were solid, which is kind of a tough cell when it's pretty much the opposite of what europeans are actually witnessing in real time. it all sounds eerily like the last financial crisis back in 2008 when europe was caught flat footed. the current european central bank governor christine le, down that was french finance minister at the time and said back in september of 2008, that quote, the big systemic risk is behind us. but one month later, france, germany and britain were meeting about national and block wide bailouts and rescue packages. so not exactly the water under the bridge that le gauss had figured at the that the time looks like european leaders. busy about as reliable in their foresight then as they are now and not just when it comes to europe. but russia to

last year limit assured that sanctions against moscow would bring down the russian economy. as european union commission president ursula of underline announced that the west was cutting russian banks off from the swift system from suit if, because the financial sanctions are formidable effectiveness. and i want to leave no ambiguity on the european determination on the subject. we're going to wage a total economic and financial warren. russia will therefore provoke the collapse of the russian economy. we commit to ensuring that a certain number of russian banks are removed from swift. this will ensure that these banks a disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally right now, cutting off russian banks from their western counterparts is actually starting to look more like throwing someone overboard before the ship goes down. in order to

save them, when the west was working to isolate rushes, financial system from, there's little did they know that they'd actually be saving moscow from the risk of contagion, their contagion. a year later, despite all the western sanctions, russian banks have managed to adapt. and in january, the russian central bank announced that the country's current account surplus hit record high last year with the increased price of oil and gas exports, even as europe was cutting itself off. from them, maybe if european leaders had been as focused on insulating the block from the u. s . financial system in the wake of the 2008 crisis as they bid with cutting it off from russia. then maybe they wouldn't yet be in the position of gearing up for yet another potential white knuckle roller coaster ride with uncle sam at the controls . and no one can say that it's not possible for the you to isolate itself from the united states economy. because somehow canada right on the u. s. border and its

largest trading partner managers. just find to isolate itself from the u. s. banking system, 562 us banks went belly up over the past 20 years, yet not a single one in canada. so here we go. yes, with yet another example of europe over reliance and over dependence on the u. s. to its own detriment. much like the current energy crisis that a guy itself into egged on by washington. and you have to wonder how many times that you have to learn its lesson the hard way before coming to its senses for its own sake. a political analyst on journalist john verola says that western governments will try to solve the cone crisis in the same way they did back in 2008 . i simply printing more money. this is what happened in 2008. i mean, you know, the government bell that the big banks buy pretty money, right? we had all of this, all, we took all these measures to say the banks are printing printing,

right. it was called q e quantitative easing. it was basically printing. i don't, you know, didn't really go into the car. the american government always gets involved in the credit. it pushes the problem on toward the future. right? so basically we're also, we're now today coming to direction. we're coming directly with the poor measures that were implemented after 2008 the knots of these. so the russian city of ross on dawn where a fire and a building next to the nations federal security border services bureau has been extinguished. according to people allowed blasts was heard before the fire. the territory of the border services has sustained some damage, which is national security service has said the fire broke out in the departments warehouse where some combustibles were stored, unconcerned reports of casualties have come in and we'll bring you more as when we gets it's an apocalyptic conflict could be the

consequence of the u. s. force shooting down russian aircraft in international airspace. well, it's according to the russian ambassador to the u. s. responding to comments from a republican senator. a deliberate attack on russian aircraft neutral. asked pace is not just a crime in accordance with international law, but an open declaration of war on the largest nuclear power. it's not russian pilots who should be held responsible, but american politicians war inciting, an apocalyptic conflict. but we should hold them accountable and say that if he ever get near another u. s. set flying in international waters, your airplane would be shot down. well, what ronald reagan do right now, he would, they would start shooting russian planes down if they were threatening. our ass says, yes, european command release the footage of the reapers encounter with the russian su 27 find to jets. moscow has denied that the ivy was intentionally taken down. according to russia's ministry defense, the drone loss control as a result of a risky maneuver, somewhat salt russian officials have already said that the beep had no business in

the vicinity of sev estoppel despite being international above international waters . and that such recognizance operations are dangerously provocative. ortiz, marina costa, has mall the incident was caused by us actions that violated the flight restriction zone said by the russian federation. will note that the flights of american strategic unmanned aerial vehicles near crimean shores are provocative in their nature and create the conditions for escalation in the black sea. moscow said that the you west was aware all along that, that area that air space. i had a flight restricted status all along, but washington, of course ela has always said that it would ignore that and continue flying wherever they saw fits. and this is what happens. so naturally, moscow says, since washington was aware, this most likely seems to be an act of provocation. so they're just looking for a way to escalate their approaches. and this is one of the ways they did that since

again, they knew that that area had a flight restrict the sad at 1st they were accusing moscow right away. they said that the moscow did this intentionally. and now, just literally less than 24 hours have changed their tune. and now we have statements from the usaa state department spokesperson that price. who said that it looks like it was most likely an unintentional event. let's take a lesson, i think the best assessment right now is that it probably was unintentional. it probably was the result of profound and competence on the part of one of these russian pilots. at 1st we saw media in the us absolutely gone crazy. been hysterical, really accused in russia and said that russia did this on purse on purpose, and now literally less than 24 hours later we have the us state department saying that this looks like an unintentional incidents. and we can hear from the us state department. what he had to say there in that price, that now it's an unintentional or incidents. and again,

we're saying that there are now focusing on the manner in which this happens and they're making elaborate videos and simulations of how it happened. and so let's have a look at one of their versions of what they claim, how it happened, there visualizations, bush and jet approach from the rear dumping fuel u. s. officials believe it meant to come up in front of the drone, so would fly into the fuel cloud, but pulled up too soon and clipped the drones propeller, which is located in the rear. the drones controllers could do nothing but let it glide into the sea, rasa horace part has always maintained from the very few hours after this happened, that russia did not come into contact, actual physical contact if you will, with the drawing. and also it did not shoot it down, they did not use any weapons against that. but again, we saw what was happening in western media there. and again, there were, there were prepared. ah, but perhaps it was a russian as spokesperson are the 3 p scave who said it best actually a let's have

a listened exactly about that flight, restrict the status, which is the key and most important information of as they those who shouldn't have been there. shouldn't have flown there, and then everything would have been environmentally friendly. and this of course was everything and to risk as a sort of gale of rob mentioned our earlier in the day that these actions, they know the risks that they're taken. washington, when they do this and they risk escalating, is this something that they're looking for? that is the question. but governance corruption and poor distribution of goods for those. the reasons mullins have given for the lodge migration flows from african countries. that's the response to accusations from the italian government or the russian private miniature group. wagner is behind it's these migrants woes we heard from local people. that remark, it was for me, what pushes african to take the path of europe is the under development of different african states and a lack of work. we can't accuse rush on all these points, but sincerely,

we can say that this migratory flow of africans is due to a lack of work, lack of development, and also lack of will from african politicians to put in place a strategy to better keep their children on their territory less after thank you. left african generally leave africa for several reasons. security reasons, financial reasons, and others, even out of a symbol, desire to discover new horizons. russia has different ways to effectively help africa. as an example, we already have molly, where wagner soldiers fight against terrorists? i don't think it's because of russia. young african fleet for europe didn't start to date. it's true, the conflicts are one of the reasons what brings conflicts that is bad governance, corruption or distribution of goods. all of these has now turned into conflicts that are undermining the. 1 development of the african continent. it's so they've

been battling a migration crisis for over 10 years since the start of the spring of 2022. they're already more than 5000000 migrants in the country. and $20000.00 more people have already arrived since the starts of this year. over the weekend, at least, and 3 migrants died, trying to reach the coast of the southern region of calabria. of it's shifted responsibility for the migration problems on the russian private military. wagner group, which is in molly of the request of the country's government, according to russia's or ministry. the we spoke with upon african analyst from neighboring, but kinda fossil who says that all of western attempts to blame bogged not only indicate that western involvement on the continent has failed. also say no, i think this statement is completely farfetched and apps or if you will, they are looking for an excuse to explain their fail due to their inability to help their ally ukraine and to blame the wagner group for instigating the influx of migrants is simply insane only the west is capable of such fabrication cooperation

with other players, b, russia, china, or iran is very important in african countries which has very tangible failures and working with the western block can re orient themselves precisely towards it. more recently, less than 5 years ago, african countries began to trust other allies not from the western block. as a result, there has been a lot insecurity in the central african republic under president dera, looking faster, which turned it back on the western block. only in january now has operational drones. there are being used to fight terrorists real results, reclaimed territories. that's what the alternative block is capable of. around 30 members of the nigerian millicent group boca her arm have been by forces from neighbor denisia. well more than $900.00 of his followers, including women and children, i've been detained as a result of counter terror operations. groups violence against nigerian government

had led to death of more than 40000 people according to the un. the boss late shot me jan, shed by nigeria, anesha cameroon. and chad is a base for boca hallmark to see which increased last month. the 4 countries of multinational joint task force back in 2015 for the aim of defeating the group and promoting stability in the region. ok. her became known around the world after the group. i've done more than 200 school girls, many of whom still haven't returned home. local journalists, you would see those things is more in the story. it's been over 8 years now since 276 through stan girls between the ages of 1618 were kidnapped by mcguire. i'm tourist from your school in the state of bull. no. in nigeria for i all to the read, the school was closed or 4 weeks due to the tory, to in 2nd grade to conditions what that goes with it in order to write the final

examinations. or now when i would have completed my education, if they didn't abduct me in the 1st place, honestly, the life there is not an easy one compared to the freedom. now, because we aren't allowed to go out and there were rules on clothes, we shouldn't where we were forced to marry some of the fighters. i hated life. i hated that they married me to one of the fighters. his name is boudoir, a got to her. it was why myself and 2 other girls escaped from the forest. one night says we were forced to convert to islam and if he refused to attend their slamming lessons and observe press, you'd be tied up and beaten and locked house for days. we were not allowed to go out and we're following whenever we want to ease ourselves and bathe because they feared we might run away. sometimes they rate us. i was married off to one of the fighters who's an assistant to one of the commanders. i gave birth to a child for him, but he died along the way when we escaped. there were 7 of us that escaped from the

terrorists camp at 12 am in the morning. we spend days without food and water. some people saw us and took me to the security agents and newman in a downwash state where they publicized my abduction. as one of the missing tobac girls said that my parents could trace me. i was 14 years old when they took me. i caught up with the mother of one of the girls who are still missing. rachel, daniel sees her life houses changed since her daughter was abducted. having heard stories about what may have happened to some of the girls on the slavery by the g. hardest terrorist. rachel can only wonder what her daughter was going to. she has pleaded with frances, to call on the nigerian government to rescue her daughter and order girls who are still in the hands of the rabbit, who the con combs of the pope francis met with 2 gills,

who escaped from the g. hardest terrorist of the use of violence. when i, when, as i suffered from high blood pressure, i couldn't eat, i couldn't do anything. i was placed under medication till i got better. the army have been assuring me for a long time that they'll rescue her. no, i'm not tired of waiting when i, when i heard that the pope met some of the freed girls. i also wanted to be like other mothers whose daughters were also rescued. i want the pope to please pray for my daughter, wherever she is. let her be released, whether she is dead or alive when it please let the pope beg the nigerian government to do something. the luncheon and many choice intervention has led to many of the kid not goes arrest killed, 98 guilds kidnapped from the town of cheap walk in 2014 still remain me. since most residents are wondering why the military has failed to rescue the remaining jokes, the spread of the hush talks as part of their bring back our gas company was an

attempt to put pressure on the engine government to help return the girls back home, unpolluted patrols out in use, international may do good or for more on any of those stories as well as all the latest updates r t dot com is your place to go. i'm peter scott. my be back again at the top of the hour of all of today's with ah

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk in only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking, that is, that nation's thoughts are allowed to do anything. all the mazda races, and then you have the minor nations who are the slave americans. proc obama and

others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it's serge american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this. danger is boy man, that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. so some golf, as of yet to noon, i english v i n b, i not foolish to adopt in zebulon and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the reason the us had germany is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato, what is founded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business and businesses good. and

that is the reality of what, what we're facing, which is fashion and aah . riga capital city of the republic of latvia, the country gained independence on march, the 16th. now thousands of people have gathered in the city center near the free to monument ever since. and how does democratic olympia celebrate every spring? the country has now been a member of both the european union and nato for several years. the nell very few

surviving legionnaires who served in latvian vanessa as divisions, march solemnly under national flags, and making their way to the country's main monument. there accompanied by a large crowd of loyal supporters and admirers to the strains of nazi style marches, and songs and number of officials and individuals lay memorial weeks at the base of the monument. as they joined the commemoration of remembrance day. it's a day when respect paid to fallen and surviving volunteers for hitler's ass. yeah, there was a time when this was even considered a national holiday. 0 last, always go up off the auto shift all go that the jangle full of korean, the death. but vision, good thing, 5, material up there. if you, you're going yet. law. her daughter,

this is your foot on the door. fontinella with a full of virginia sil, simon. he at the genuine, which have known it. i said the subtle, i gotta 1st was chucky a but i suppose to watch a new plan. the specials from last year and some other democratic european states still play an active part in these celebrations. which some claim shame on the country.
