3:01 pm
10 pm here in moscow. and this is asi international with the very latest world news update. very welcome from all of our team, our top story, their sour, despite pressure from the west. the russian economy has overcome challenges and does turns to growth. that's the message from vladimir putin during a speech at an entrepreneurs union meeting in russia. now with those computer h, battista, we have managed to compensate for the actual closing of western markets to us and to expand rushes, foreign trade contacts with nations in the worlds fastest growing regions. you know that in previous years, before all these crisis and special operations, we were orienting ourselves step by step towards rapidly developing markets anyway . today, a different situation has taken shape where it turns out that we were not doing this and vague. moreover, we were doing it at 11 slower pace that we should have those, but this is fine. true. we continue making strides. we're with us as high inflation
3:02 pm
in europe. has a central bank raising interest rates paid by half a percent, bringing it to reco levels. no seen since the 2 at the 2008 financial crisis. inflation is projected to remain too high, put too long. therefore, the governing council to day decided to increase the 3 key e. c. b interest rates by 50 basis points. in line with our determination to ensure the timely return of inflation. 202 percent medium term target. i think that the banking sector is currently in a much, much stronger position than where it was back in 2008, even with this new half a percentage rate hike with sacrifices economic growth to break rising inflation. it doesn't even look like there's going to be that much relief this year for europeans. the current overall inflation rate was 8.5 percent last month. and the

3:05 pm
using them as an excuse while to shrugging it off and blaming someone else. he's taking the bull by the horns, but meanwhile, a gout sounds like someone who got divorced a year ago, but is still complaining about their acts. at some point, it's entirely a you problem. and you can't he blame your former partner for the rest of your life or failing to get your act together. and that includes rising to the occasion in times of adversity, which obviously the e. c b is having a hard time doing right now. this comes out on the heels of financial turmoil in the us where the collapse of 2 major banks ripples throughout the financial world. the shut down of silicon valley bank became the 2nd was such event in u. s. history. treasury secretary john ellen's been grilled in congress over the crisis and tried to convince son it says that it's all under control. but some on spying it. does the president know personally anybody who is dependent upon social security and if their benefits are cut by 24 percent?

3:10 pm
prosecution of those responsible for these attacks between to raise it, but it is determined to counter tear raise the international community. i have to say has been very much alarmed recently by a circle of violence on the ground holding on both sides to come down. but as we can see, potentially have been only rising. and we discussed the developments with the head of the palestinian national initiative, who stays the international community needs to act. now what we've seen today is another massacre. this is the master on the conduct in binion 32 by 2 degrees before that there were 2 other goods in janine nablus. what happened today that the 4 people including her child and this is what we should act on, which is, but i think it's going to suppress policy and enforcing the slave went on them.
3:11 pm
what had been very dangerous, especially that happened while the other countries i've been waiting for a meeting to miss. yes, i believe is using these meetings on the other covered words. crimes, what happens is really making calls very angry, especially after the killing of these 4 young people. and what we need is really strong international action to enforce forces, to stop these aggregations on massacre again in people repose that india is ready to join the g 7, blocking, imposing a price count on russian oil. nothing more than misinformation. as according to most goes ambassador to new delhi, as well as a source from within the indian oil industry, which voice a science and saying india is not obliged to follow western policy by tony. it's
3:12 pm
back on energy sanctions. new delhi has a chief, a boost in oil imports from moscow, which in january this year has a record high of $1700000.00 barrels per day. rushes exports of oil to india have jumped from less than one percent to a quarter of all supplies compared to march of last year. according to the us treasury, department, western sanctions have had little to no effect on the world wide trade of russian oil about 75 percent of the trade of russian seaborne oil occurs outside of the price cap. that means no western services are involved in the transaction, and therefore, these trades do not violate, or vate sanctions, or the price cap on russian oil with impose last year by g 7. members, on the e, you setting the limits at $60.00 per barrel. according to washington, brussels is now considering to lower the limit to $55.00. moscow responded by the filing oil sales to any country that follows the restriction. the indian foreign
3:13 pm
ministry spokes person has dismissed the reports that india is joining western sanctions a speculation. so i'm assuming i'm comfortable talking about reports that maybe there, i don't know which of what you're referring to. so let me just clarify. i don't want to comment on speculative media reports. we repeatedly made it clear that our approach will be guided by our energy security. i meant to heard this many times and i think that continues to be valid. let's take that case study of india. and india was buying and new buying and in fact started growing the amount we will buying before the war. i think we will buy hardly one posts or last year beginning and now we're at about 35 percent. initially, the rest of the us and you ought to be kind of ignored what and be doing because a little too busy with your up and what we'll do, we'll figure the most with respect to russia. but later on, when this started realizing that india is buying and buying in larger numbers, it actually, i think it struck them, and it's like nothing planned. i think it's unplug unplanned, you know, still,
3:14 pm
which happen that be the energy needs of your, of our know, been full film via india, especially that applying products, the diesels. ok, the petro supposing this diesel was taken off the market, right? the market, the market for diesel would have gone somewhere else. so now the us and we have relates to india that this is looking to be, but that's a good a mate, gather them for your to say that they're not buying, you know, the refined products from russia inside the gap on the find 1st also now they're buying the refined products, which india is fighting from the last year. so they've getting to have their cake also in a way and still claiming that they are, you know, a lot of europe is if he's not buying from russia to french journalists, eric la ron. and katherine gracie, i have received a one year suspended prison sentence sunday, $10000.00 bureau,

3:17 pm
over time for them? well i don't think so. refer back to me. the recording was actually accepted, as evidenced by the course of cuts off know fast as i think the ruling doesn't have any more ever been to actually bring them to the court to the front. but i don't think the low details have been released about facebook mentioned in the black. now do you think it's possible that i may still be released while even both my ring never know the market. one is not worried about care of any critique inside or outside morocco, morocco, the marks in the monarchy, the monarchy, with a great support from the moroccan citizens. and people says,

3:19 pm
a former real estate developer in china where he became one of the countries which is people. however, he grew into a fierce critic of the communist party and fled the country and 2014. it was granted political asylum in the us in 2017 off there came and he was persecuted by beijing. us, prosecutors now say he wanted money in the country through a network of n g o is american authors. he sees more than $600000000.00 of close assets from a $21.00 different bank accounts. he's caleb morgan investigates well, go one way has been arrested and the allegation that he's being held without dale ending these charges is that he perpetrated a fraud for roughly a $1000000000.00. now, china has called him a broad stir since 2017. the chinese government issued an arrest warrant the inner pull, put out a red, noticed on him. he's been considered to be a fraud or financial criminal by the chinese government for a long time. however,
3:20 pm
the united states gave him asylum in 2017, and he was described by his lawyer as a whistleblower. he's used his social media platforms to criticize the chinese government. you've been for trade in american media as some kind of hero and chinese, just speeding up against fusion paying now gallon gray has been using his social media platform from the united states to raise a lot of money. and he's been battling the chinese communist party calling out and condemning and accusing the chinese government, all kinds of things and then using that platform to raise money. now the allegation is that he sign up lots of the money that he raised into personal account that he was claiming he was going to start a crypto currency. he was going to start a citizen journalism company. he had many business endeavors that he was raising money for. busy the allegation is that in reality, he was simply funneling all of this into his personal accounts, living
3:21 pm
a life of luxury spending on yachts and other personal personal luxury as enjoyments. now, at this point, he has been arrested and many are wondering if this is an example of light bias, an american media. now it is u. s. official to seem to be confirming and now charging him with the very kinds of crimes. the chinese government accused him of committing and it seems like us officials were looking the other way and covering up for his fraudulent criminal nature when they saw him as a useful propagandist against the chinese government. and it shows that the us officials have a, have a kind of interest than willingness to overlook certain criminal activities if it's 3rd geopolitical and the recent arrest seems to reveal a level of hypocrisy. it's worth noting that gallon gray at one point. busy was was on flights with tony blair was part of the mar largo club with donald trump,
3:22 pm
and that he received kind of a heroes welcome and special treatment for us official. despite it now being pointed out by us officials, he's facing very serious charges of being a fraudster. meanwhile, ukraine will receive for soviet made fight a judge from poland within the next few days. and as, according to the polish president who added that more planes are on their 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. that makes $29.00 is a soviet era jet, still operated by several eastern european countries, including poland, the jets excel at arrow combat, but can also be used to drop bombs on the ground. poland has previously said it wants to replace its feet of make 20 nines with new fighters from nato partners from the us marine john mark. so you can say such war plains have
3:23 pm
a limited impact on the battlefields. 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're 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 make the batter plans fantastic. except for the fact that russia has such incredible ground to air missile capabilities, systems like the f 300, s 400 systems. and it's really gonna render these aircraft. i mean, move the u. s. federal reserve could be preparing to inject up to 2 trillion dollars into the countries banking system and a desperate effort to avoid a meltdown. that's according to our list from j. p. morgan chase. their prediction
3:24 pm
is based on the amount of uninsured deposits that 6 us banks. the government is now poised to potentially pump trillions of dollars into the economy under the bank term funding program, which was early this month following the collapse of 3 major lenders as good life now to british american invest, mitchell, fire sign money. thanks for joining us on the program this evening at festival look kind of what else can you tell there's really about this bang term funding program and, and how effective could it actually be? well, the bt f p they, they cracked this one up. they came up with it. i think last sunday when they had problems with silicon valley bank. i mean, this is a long term problem, but this is quantitative easing just like jerome paul said, a month ago or, or even a year ago he said this is not a q e program. this is another q e program. it's q infinity quantitative easing started during the great financial crisis in 2008, and it never really stopped. yes. what they're doing is that they're the federal
3:25 pm
reserve is going to offer the banks who have $1000000000.00 worth of securities. treasury securities, $1250000000.00 in cash. this is just extreme leverage and it will be highly inflationary and terrible for the economy. now as far as the banks solvency . look, silicon valley bank was the woke bank. we had, i had dealings personally with them and i didn't find any of their senior people that i dealt with competent at all whatsoever. and in fact, we pulled our money out of that institution in 2018 because they didn't meet up to my standards. so silicon valley bank basically based all their lending decisions and their business decisions on d, i in which is diversity, equity and inclusion. and e s g, which is environmental, social justice and governance. and so the, the problem with doing that is you put all the business aspects aside. they had no
3:26 pm
quantifiable risk manager for nearly a year. and then the person that they hired as the risk managers thoroughly incompetent. so you know, you, you report you so i mean, when you hire people and have them make the business decisions based upon social justice and other airy, fairy type of policies that don't have anything to do with whether a company makes profits or losses. then you're going to end up in solvent. now, billing them out. you didn't have bell outs ever. and i think that that is one of the big problems in the book i wrote about the credit crisis. i said that banks that are too big to fail, too big to fail, or bell, or jail are too big to exist. so the, the problem that they've created for themselves, the federal reserve is they've printed and magic up hundreds of trillions of dollars in implicit guarantees. and to save and bail out billionaires and bail out the banking system. has that helped it hasn't helped. and you just gave an example
3:27 pm
i, i didn't even hear about the story in new york about the chinese businessman who was arrested for a 1000000000 dollar fraud. well, what about f t x? the 10000000000. he stole $10000000000.00 and customer funds. and he was out on bail, but i guess that has nothing to do with him being the biggest contributor to the democratic party, the 2020 election cycle. so yes, we have a dual justice system and we have problems with the banking and financial sector. but the problems of the banking and the financial sector come down to a woman named janet yellen, who was the federal reserve chairman. she was in the federal reserve system for 20 years, and her policies caused the train wreck that we're in today. and she got promoted up to the treasury, so i'm sorry to interrupt. think that those i speculation that the federal reserve will skip an interest rate hike next week in order to stabilize the banking sex that was, will take on that. okay, well, so they can do whatever they want,
3:28 pm
but inflations 20 percent and they can lie and tell people it's 10 percent, but this is highly inflationary. what they're doing with this new program to add liquidity to the treasury bonds, it places it places the federal reserve in double jeopardy, because of course, they don't look at their balance sheet and they need to raise interest rates to contain inflation. they claim that inflation is a 2 percent target and it's, it's well over probably 30 percent food inflation is probably close to 15 percent, and other inflation is closer to 20 percent. they need to control inflation. they've lost control of the markets, and this will cascade and spiral into something that they can't control. and i'm afraid that they have know the back themselves into the corner. this is their own doing by printing money for far too long and having negative interest rates. thank you so much for joining us on a programming setting, some light on the on the matter where the appreciated british american invest at mich feinstein, thank you very much, but i thank you for joining us. they are naughty international, plenty more updates to be found on our website, our team, doug. com as always,
3:29 pm
will be back in 30 minutes with more delays. ah, 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 on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and going to resist are those. see how that strategy will be successful? very critical time time to sit down and talk the for the business. and you agree in the daily
3:30 pm
shoes? i mean it comes green. when you do it, you lose. you got to really just touch up, create the ceiling and provide you with such a circle. opposite of the different sit unemployed, shelf. motion. we're really thrown with them. probably, and you're still there actually, she was here yesterday, she was slow at the system that was corrected almost shirts and lots of kids. yellow slates, new petunia message and not just the gillian used to it. and it was ellis to new spring. my at that which lays because storms, apparently the initial don't use people include, reflects the way the vision when when you somebody else and you and i wish you got to get to.
