you're watching the international monies peter scott's revenue joining us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. and we start this out in libya where over 2 tons of uranium has gone missing from a site that's not controlled by the interim government. that's according to our statements by the international atomic energy agency, chief raphael glossy the loss of knowledge about the present location of nuclear material may present a radiological risk, as well as nuclear security concerns with jeremy hair live in the studio is r. t correspondent, steve sweeney. steve, what do we know? well, as we've just heard from the u. s. nuclear watchdog, more than 2 tons of uranium has gone missing in libya. now the agency could not say when it went missing and the location is unclear at this stage. other than that, it's in territory, nor under the control of the u. impact. in to rim government, i have seen some speculation from nicholas security experts that it was removed from a remote site in southern libya. is important to note obviously that the uranium is

no enrich meeting, but it's not weapons ready. now the former libyan leader murmur gadhafi were announced libby as nuclear program in 2003. but of course that could change over time. it could be in rich and that's the real concern. and at this stage, we don't know who's responsible for its disappearance of what's the overall situation in libya like at the moment the. well, the situation remains incredibly volatile. of course, libya descended into a quagmire after the nato. busy backtomy campaign in 2011 and the western backing of armed militia, they're now at the time at western leaders try to portray this as an uprising against an unpopular dictator. moore ma gadhafi gadhafi chose the path of brutal suppression. innocent civilians were beaten, imprisoned, and in some cases kill. gadhafi must stop fighting without conditions and clearly

show that he has given up any claim to control libya. thou gadhafi himself warned that west was trying to oust him in order to be able to plunder libya's natural 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. get off. he was later killed in a, in a very brutal fashion. this was most famously celebrated by then us secretary of state, hillary clinton. but the country has been unstable ever since with various all militia, including islamic state vying control the country effectively split into with 2 power government. the government of national record based, interpret, bought by the united nations and another government based in the city to prove based, supported by general kelly for his and now both sides in that there was

a brutal civil war. of course, that taught the country a part and both sides had international support. now some countries, including france, were accused of supporting both sides now efforts a ceasefire, and a national government approved incredibly difficult. almost embargoes have been repeatedly broken and elections have been postponed indefinitely. last next week comes to this missing uranium, steve, while the international atomic energy agency has informed its member states of what top um and it said the investigations are going the details line to the moment. it said that it's coming out some specific activities to try and find out what's happened to this radio. they remain concerned, of course, over nuclear security and who exactly has got their hands on the radio. but one thing that it's very clear is that the western intervention in libya has made the country and indeed the world a more dangerous place in

d. thanks so much steve. i hope you'll keep us updated. is there any developments on that missing your any? and thank you your opinion, central bank has raised interest rates by 50 basis points, which brings it to its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. banking stocks in asia have also taken a bit of a dive. the following reports that the crush of credit suisse may cause ripples worldwide. the news broke japan's topics, bites index dropped by 6.4 percent during the morning session with hong kong standard chartered unsolved cruise ship, financial group training close behind, unraveling investor confidence across continents. since banking shares were 100 in both europe and new york. now this comes after credit suisse banks, stock plunge, rattled global markets with the 3 central bank stepping in with a $53000000000.00 lifeline. that's this credit suisse as a biggest shareholder saudi national bank. so they wouldn't boost isha past the current level of just under 10 percent. triggering

a fall of 30 percent in credit suisse shares. that's intern cause jet is across financial markets, sparking a slump in major indices. when it comes hot on the heels of financial turmoil in the us, where the collapse of 2 major banks have since ripples throughout the financial world also contributes at rachel marston. the story. 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. muriel rubini said in an interview that they had 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 and francis b and b about he bass stocks temporarily halted earlier in the day as its value plunged. as did that of sissy it, isn't it? i'm good. yeah. or they could. 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 prices with quote more seizures and shut downs coming. but just face it earlier, french economy and 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 do, eddie t. e 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 tv that there was not a risk of contagion in france and that french banks work solid, which is kind of a tough sell 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 hasty lag 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 la gowns 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, la met 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 on some suit. if you guess 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 disconnect from the international financial system and have the 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 us financial system in the wake of the 2008 crisis as they've been 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 manage just fine 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 the you has to learn its lesson the hard way before coming to its senses for its own sake. well, political analyst on journalist john rowley says that western governments will try

to solve the current crisis the same way they did back in 2008 by simply printing more money. this is what happened in 2008. i mean, you know, the government bell down the big bank by putting more money. right? we had all of this, all, we took all these measures to say the banks, right? printing printing, right? it was called q e a quantitative easing. it was basically printing one trillion, 2 trillion dollars and sorry, i can't remember the exact figure, but they threw all this money at the bank and that money, you know, where did it go? you know, it didn't really go into the economy. no, it's settled in the bank, and it contributed to inflation and depletion in the value asset, which of course is an artificial inflation. and this is the problem that the american government always gets involved in the crisis and try to solve by printing more money. but that doesn't solve the problem, that just will solve the temporarily. it pushes the problem on towards the future, right? so basically we're also,

we're now today coming to direct and we are coming to reckon with the poor measures that were implemented after 2008 moving on. now, an apocalyptic conflict could be the consequence of the u. s. air force shooting down a russian aircraft in international airspace. that's according to the russian on buster to the u. s. he was responding to comments from the 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 pile, so should be held responsible. but american politicians who are inciting an apocalyptic conflict. well, we should hold them accountable and say that if you ever get near another you asset flying and international waters, your airplane will be shot down. well, what ronald reagan do right now, he would, he would start shooting russian planes down if they were threatening. our ass says us european command release the footage of the re present council with the russian

su $27.00 fighter jet mos goes denied the year. a v was intentionally taken down according to the russian ministry of defense, the drone loss control as a result of a risky maneuver. several top russian officials have already said that the reap had no business in the vicinity of set estoppel despite being in international airspace . and as such, recognizance operations are dangerously provocative. will international consultant and retired u. s. military? lieutenant colonel. earl rasmussen says the american drone was likely gathering intelligence for ukraine, which is prepared to attack russia. i think the, the us will be more perhaps more cautious, but they'll probably still send drones out there. this is a look at mr. prescott said, this note was well known in advance that this was in a, basically a conflict zone area and that zone of the special military operation. so what other area of vehicles are flying they're,

they're taking at their own risk probably would have been fair game just to shoot down as well. yes. is the information being collected for nato countries? yes. is it highly likely that it's being given to ukraine? it would not surprise me as it was absolutely, especially you know, there, there been discussions on, on looking at ways to strike at crimea, and you want to know where the facilities are. and either way, whether you're going to do an electronic attack or another type of attack, but it definitely was gathering strategic information that would be shared with members only while ukraine will receive the 1st for soviet made fighter jets from poland within the next few days. according to the polish president, he said that more planes are on the way. firstly, literally, within the next few days, we will hand over. as far as i remember, for aircraft to ukraine in full walk in order. the rest are being prepared and

serviced. the make 29 is a soviet air. a jet still operated by a number of eastern european countries, including poland, the jets, aerial combat, but can also be used to drop bombs on the ground. poland has previously said that he wants to replace his sleep of makes with new fighters from nato pon, as for us, marine john mcdoogan says that such warplanes will not send that side in ukraine's favor. there's a reason napoleon is doing it and poems not doing this out of generosity, and they're not doing it because they help. they think that these megs are going to make any sort of impact. they are doing it because they want money from nato and they're going to want to replace them with different nato aircraft. look, i'm not saying that to mig is the bad airplanes. fantastic. except for the fact that russia has such incredible ground to air missile capabilities, systems like the 300 as 400 systems. and it's really

gonna render these aircraft. i mean, move on a monstrous arts. that's how the russian orthodox church patriarch has reacted to ukrainian or thought in order that monks should leave gifts at church ministry, which is one of orthodox faith, most sacred sites. you could have thought of given an ultimatum that the most she could stay in the shrine if they left the clergy and switch to the break away orthodox of ukraine or leave russia house cold on the un assess his actions with the u. n. chiefs press secretary responding that the organization has limited information on the case versus foreign ministry spokesman criticized un like of action. if you can't give a comment after a direct appeal from the monks to the international community made and several languages, dance, deform admit to being biased and do not put this on the united nations. that it's

a complete loss of credibility or a political order to regularly claim that you don't know anything about what is happening in ukraine when you both regularly visit sky of the last time. as recently as of march causes distrust in the us and it's secretariat. as close live now to the very reverend duck forest of joe, go profess of fiala g at the university of easton, sorry a but thanks very much for joining us this evening. now 1st of all, i just want to get your take on this, this ultimatum given through the russian priest, the church to, to leave or switch. well, i mean, we cannot believe that the very beginning of the 21st century in one country, which actually proclaims itself to be civilized european countries that we are witnessing very much the same scene as the ancient roland empire or,

or speech would be more appropriate for hispanic state in iraq and syria. so religious persecution or something that no constitutional democracy, whatever, allowed not, not even facility 8 or ukraine get this very moment. so i must say, i'm not surprised since i have seen a lot of ukrainian chauvinism. demanding actions against the can only cortex or. busy ukrainian or to church even prior to the ever less. we are still surprised. that is, is more of a genius of persecution a month from my x rays are taking place. so it's, it's the situation in which i don't believe that ukraine is not going to do anything. busy quoting to the international law and the,

according to the us chapter on human rights, which would allow this months to present stay and you want us to raise. i think that you're going to push this agenda on the religious persecution. again, get anything which even remotely associates ukrainian citizens to their spiritual disorder, to the roots with russia. so i'm very, i say, i'm not very domestic about the future. seems to be missing $11.00, honeymoon between ukraine and the western dorothy into which there is added by you to actually do whatever they want to to do. you cannot ukraine or church and nobody's doing anything. nobody's really noticing that not just

any rice but religious pride of ukrainian or so your leaders are being jeopardized and being taken off by the very state which day did you expect to see a response from international organizations such as the un i must say, i have wouldn't come too much on that because we had seen that they had never actually noticed the cost and persecutions all he or you are with charity, which are not just something very recently are you are a decades of, of cons to persecution against the ukrainian or of church, but since march of the western countries and officials perceive the crane or of charity as a part of the russian orthodox church. and since you're in a common sense among the best in a lease right now, i must say i would be,

i would not be surprised if they would do nothing. i must say, i don't think that they are going to even cheer up the monks. and because for a religious rice, for 7 days, and what do you think this means for orthodox christians in ukraine? i think that debt should really symbolize finally break up between the ukraine bait and you know, any ah, connections with ross and russian people. so that's, that's reasonable idea. wishing this agenda, i think that generally crane in people in ukraine, the society is still very much split inside of it. now of course, that's the situation in which the beginning of the special a military operation actually scientists, this audrey frame which is

a guest which is against you. so for the state of mind. busy ukrainian national narrative. so this a, let's see, geography, trends, bridge my site is stop and it's in fear against the. busy majority or a very loud minority which actually has taken a state authority in their heads. and so i think that in a recent future we'll see more of this aggressive attitude dollars, the cleaners of church. and that's one of the reasons why old or 6 people, especially during this time time of the great land should really pray and have in our minds, clergy and believers of the canonical ukrainian or of church and pray for them for the church, which is a persecuted that's not the just couple of few christians even that would be

unthinkable all but use on millions, millions of ukrainian or the treatise which one to preserve their own church. if you haven't seen for a lot of the appeals, it's very interesting. they're out of appeals of the believers of economical ortho church which or the army officials of you are forced to do credit which are appealing for the credit you are is not to take off their churches and monasteries from the clergy and from believers. but these appeals can gain no results because a ukrainian political lead, remotely controlled by give a call to west autonomy as you're doing this in order to make a one through military, cultural and spiritual world between the russia and the rest of the world. and that's something that, that are up to. i don't, i don't think that david will stop in this agenda. well, this is

a very unprecedented move by ukraine. but it's also very unprecedented time that you countries on war the moments you kind of been completely surprised by this move though. well, i must say, like i have seen lots of the, a lot of the wireless lot of, of, of wireless wireless be taken off churches from the ukraine or to church. but the fact is that that's key patches collaborative for, for your viewers, which were not maybe each for never visited kids. jeff actually live longer. this complex is larger than the city and state of oregon. so it's really, it's a couple of monitors like 10 blocks. so it's very, very, i think of all that know, that even stated during the war would really expect

a couple of countries of monks and couple of conference of us seminary students of geological seminaries, which are located in you can purchase blog us. so i know that this is this problem from one side, from one hand. it seems like a continuation of the wireless, which is present. again, you pain in the past decade. but still, nobody will think that even though you really want to stage and in a state of complete madness, would really take so many monks and so many people out of the sanctuary of the churches and shrines. so, i mean, you can imagine how many police officers it would take to take all of these people out. and the very, the very painful thing is that inside of the ultimate,

which was given to the monks, your is a possibility for them, which is really think of a law for them to join. this can only coat and can only cause states own structure . after you have to call structure, which was quite recently composed under the under the church or 30 church of the some book. and that's, that's really, really i'm thinking about it's not that the state is just the implementing some lows. yeah. really. pushing the last really religious persecution in order to me pre conscious of certain people as there's a monks to me dear, dear choice is really not free really to made them doing something that they would never do. so it's really we are,

we are going back centuries ago and roman emperors really making christians choose between their persecution and their conscious. it's and think about, it's really something that no nor whole state of mind would ever you've made your position. very clear apologies for interrupting you. we are running out of time now. that's the very reverend doc, her wrist of jo. go a professor of theology of the university in eastern, sorry, but thanks for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you very much. but governance corruption and poor distribution of goods. well, those are the reasons molly and have given for the large migration flows from african countries from responds to accusations from the italian government that the russian private miniature group wagner is behind it. these migrant woes. we heard some local people 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 is because of russia. young african fleet for europe didn't start today. it's through the conflicts are one of the reasons what, what brings conflicts. it is bad governance, corruption for distribution of goods. all of these has now turns into conflicts

that are undermining the. 1 development of the african continent. italy's been battling a migration crisis for over 10 years since the start of the our spring. as of 2022, there are 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 7 to 3, margaret died trying to reach the coast of the southern region of calabria. of it's shifted responsibility for the migration problems onto the bush in private military, wagner group, which is a molly at the request of the country's government, according to the russian foreign ministry that we spoke with upon african, unless from neighboring but kinda far so you said all western attempts to blame, wagner only indicate the western involvement in africa has failed. knowing your false to say, i think this statement is completely farfetched and answer 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.
