[000:00:00;00] ah ah, a wall street journal reporter could face 20 years in prison after he's arrested by russian authorities on claims he was spying on behalf of the american government. also a head on the program this hour, the u. s. congress rejects legislation to increase oversight of tens of billions of dollars sent to ukraine despite the concerns of regular americans about why they're taxpayer money is being sent overseas. brazil, i'm trying to strike a deal to bypass the greenback is turning to their own currency for youth and bilateral trade

with just after 8th in the evening. this thursday, you're in moscow. welcome to the global and you try and up on art russian authorities, how detained a wall street journal reporter on suspicion of engaging an espionage for the u. s. government. moscow court has rule to keep the journalist behind bars, pending an investigation. picking up the story from there are teas, marina cuffs forever. there's a lot of thrust here at the moment, waiting to catch any glimpse all the american journalists and any time the black car behind me makes any sort of noise like right now we believe that the american journalist is in that car right now. the black car that is departing, this core room, you can see there we go, and we believe that even girl school, which is now leaving the most go court. and as we can see,

there's not only lots of thrust here, but some heavy duty armed guards. and that's because earlier in the day this court received a bomb threat that had to be evacuated. this is shortly right before even getsco's actually made it here. but since then they checked everything, everything was okay and the, the preceding returned back to normal. and we heard that the chief investigator asked for even girl courts to receive espionage charges. now once again, this all comes after the f as be released, the statements where they said that they detains on the american journalists in the city of you got it in book while he was receiving secret information. now, 32 year old reporter, ah, he's been working for the moscow bureau of the wall street journal. previously he worked for the moscow times, or he worked for agency france price. he was in accredited a journalist. he had an accreditation from russia's foreign ministry. and this is

what the foreign ministry had to say about this case today. what this employee of the american publication, the wall street journal was doing in located in the book has nothing to do with journalism. unfortunately, this is not the 1st time that the status of a foreign correspondent along with the journalistic visa antiquated ation was used by a foreigner in our country to cover up activities that were not journalism. this is not the 1st time that such a westerner has been caught red handed right now there will be looking into his activities here in russia were heard from, ah, the kronen spokespersons, ms. scott, who earlier that he was caught red handed, meaning that they have the evidence to charge him. i would assume so right now will be waiting to see what the outcome is after this hearing and will no doubt, we've given you more information. as soon as we have it, when earlier we discussed these allegations all on american reporter spine on the russian defense industry with independent journalist, mike jones, on

a former us marine john mark doug is no secret, especially in this day and age that the american journalistic structure all of them just about are working for the united states government. it really depends on what this individual was trying to get. but if you're trying to get military secrets related to like weapons, like how much they're producing or anything like this, that's very detrimental to russian security. and you know, they can't just let something like that go, unfortunately, trying to gather secret information is not a normal thing that journalists do. i mean, they report on the ground in different countries. but you're, you're not really supposed to be going to weapons manufacturers and trying to obtain deep secrets. i would expect a lot of spin on it and down playing his role and why he was there were speculating at the moment,

but i wouldn't be surprised if it were to do with perhaps even the production of ammunition levels. because we know that the west is very concerns, you can't seem to ramp up their supplies and perhaps he's trying to ascertain just how capable russian industry is. if indeed this is as it is, claim to be. again, it's another level of desperation. i feel of the u. s. in the collective west as they desperately try to scramble to gain some advantage in that huge blunder and mistake that they've made and they're desperately trying to trying to back pedal the u. s. congress has rejected on the initiative to closely monitor the billions of dollars in a that's been ship to ukraine. it comes to spite demands out the us, make sure about the weapons sent, actually end up where they are intended. this body has spent to date

$113000000000.00 on the worn ukraine and county. and yet we do not have any direct oversight of any of the money that is being spent. listen, we learned this the hard way in afghanistan. yet, just to point out u. s. media reports that only 30 percent of the american army sent to key if actually makes it to the front lines. meanwhile, they used border control agency has sounded the alarm it by the substantial increase in gun smuggling. and there have been rising concerns among ordinary americans about why their government is sending more than $100000000000.00 in aid to ukraine. when those funds, many say could be better spent protecting citizens amid the escalating banking crisis, planning to be a candidate for we need to know where the money is being spent and not not fraud,

it would feel better if we used our resources to support and aid and people and those people within our orders ran outside to, to afford the can make it better spend years that of the other ones only obvious what one of the main beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding, our private contractors estimates over the past year suggests independent recipients got more than half of washington's national security budget. and the u. s. inspector general almost galveston has one that could signal corruption between the government and the military. industrial complex you are bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the hose governments, but also of us government contractures or other 3rd party contractors to try to steal the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track

off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson. i've been in washington since 92 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately. well, i want to show you the cost for ukraine's war effort. compare with those of other major conflicts. washington was directly involved. then take a look here. spending on leak laid to cave has actually surpassed the annual us funding of its previous war. in afghanistan, america is also estimated to have spent on ukraine about half of the money it did per average per year in vietnam. indeed, both the vietnam and afghan, some words were seen as and again a residing failure for the u. s. despite the massive tools they put on the economy and there's still no clear indication of a potential limit to america's commitment to the ukraine conflict. when i spoke to a retired u. s or a force lieutenant colonel,

who said there's bipartisan support for ramping up ukraine's war effort of congressmen are often directly funded by the private military industry. i know how the u. s. senate gets reelected and they get re elected through their relationships and the donors that they have in this country. and out of many of those are from the defense sector. and so, you know, it's not in their interest to reduce spending. it's not in their interest to ask hard questions that may lead to the reduction in that spread. that's exactly what would happen if we actually looked at this areas by bipartisan support to continue to spend, as we saw with the senate, the senate vote just recently. i think we'll hear more talk about it as they, as the various candidates, some try to lay the waste in the fraud and the destruction. on the other side, we know from viet nam and from afghanistan in many other places that we don't care about democracy. in fact, the only kind of democracy, the united states really likes is the kind that is allied with its current

political interest. even though congress doesn't seem to have learned its lessons on afghanistan, i think the american people kind of have, and i do see a more popular pushback against what the congress is doing. the americans are tired of this very tired commitment, and they don't see it as productive. they don't understand what it's about, and they don't even know the full history. and as some of that truth comes out on how long that this government, united states government has stoked this war, has tried to really sacrifice ukraine at this altar as they find these things out and they are beginning to they become angry. and so i don't the support in this country is not there for increasing this. the only support i see is support to end the war this year a spokesman for the un secretary general was left wondering this week. what the fuck. so actually are in an extreme with a c, g, t, and corresponded after he alleged there were no us armed forces in syria at this. what's the, what's the difference?

and literally the trillion syria is no attrition in syria and the situation you're crying, there's no us armed forces inside of syria. and so at a, so i don't have a, it's, it's not a of you hear a little situation. you're sure there's no, there's no u. s. u s. military personnel i, i believe this military activity. yeah. but a but a but in terms of ground presence in syria, i'm not aware of that. okay. 5 us service members were injured in that attack. if there is no, there were no us soldier service members in syria. how could they got injured at? that's weird, right? should i ask while it all comes after an american military base in syria was attack just last week? the moscow sounds accused of stealing the country's oil under the guise of a suppose an anti terrorism operation. washington, which is believed to have had forces in syria for nearly a decade as openly call for regime change in the country. stephen, so who knew

a journalist in syria, things america has taken the un hostage, american and parents in the, in syria. yes, it is illegal in any country. if the government of the country and the leader of the country asked for help from an from a friendly con street, that cow celia did with iran, how suited with russia that is legal appearance that is help from one prince to another friendly country. but the united states came in to syria and occupied that he still here. yeah, we are all of the oil. well, the gas wheels and the wheat of syria and our harvesting them and pumping the oil and gas, the stealing them and using it and, and using that money to fund the kurdish militia separate this, want to separate and cut up syria into pieces. and that is why why i, because they want to keep the mask this week,

does it get the student government and who's the president of dr. michelle? i thought the ones that week, why do they want to 3? because he was outside the united states, and he doesn't go under the orders of the united states and the united states embassy today in the u. n. is taking hostage by the united states on something else to tell you by today the european union sage relations with china are dependent on the country stuff in the ukrainian conflict, suggesting beijing should follow the western lead agenda any piece plan which would in effect, consolidate russian unexcused absence is simply not a viable plan. we have to be frank on this point. oh,

china continues to interact with proteins. war will be a determining factor for you. china relations going follow it while lookout china, the i'm elected queen of europe. ursula vander line, and the self appointed hall monitor for the global school yard is telling you that she and europe are going to be watching you while you hang out with russia, which it considers to be a bad influence on you. and just might decide to punish you if she doesn't like what she sees. and he's coming over to beijing next week with everyone's teachers, pet french president, a mentor. and michael, and what is going to do? he's going to go over there and weigh your finger in chinese president. she didn't things face. father lines said that china was becoming more repressive at home and more assertive abroad, as she runs over to china, to assert herself on behalf of the e. u. in the wake of an entire winter during which she and european leaders are cracking down european shower time. no,

that's not repressive at all. it's the kind of rhetoric that we've seen all over the mainstream western press talk about china preparing for war. even though it's the us that's been doing pretty much everything, it actively can to gin up tensions between china and taiwan. particularity within the context of the conflict in ukraine, in which ukrainians are pretty much playing the role against russia on behalf of western interests. that tie, one would be playing for them against china in the event that a conflict ever went hot and popped off. and there's been no war since all of these kinds of headlines have started appearing back in 2020, at the very latest, but constant talking about war is and china and it's just been ongoing. and most telling of underlines said we're president. she's parting words to russian president vladimir putin on the steps outside the when, when he said right now there are changes the likes of which we haven't seen for

a 100 years, and we are the ones driving these changes together. okay, so she singled those words out, you kind of have to wonder why she, so bothered by the prospect of multi polarity, which is essentially what the 2 men were talking about. perhaps because the risks losing its close in a multi poll overall in which the u. s doesn't run the show with. busy europe riding shotgun, in which case you think wagner line would have eased up on the threats like the one she made to reassess the massive trade deal. the china comprehensive trade agreement on investment ratified in 2020. but what it was then frozen is when he's, when he won after brussels and beijing sanctioned each other's officials, still were talking about the use largest trading partner in a time when it's still paying a really high price. and of course, the citizens, especially from cutting itself off from its top provider of cheap energy, which would be russia. so underline also sound and during this talk that to face

here, like someone who is invited over to a dinner party, but realized a few days before that it would be really awkward if she didn't at least try refraining things a bit, given that she had just spent the last few years totally publicly badmouthing the host. our relationship with china is one of the most intricate and important anywhere in the world. and how we manage it will be a determining factor. i believe it is neither viable, non your interest to decoupled from china or we relations. i'm not black or white and our response cannot be either. this is why we need to focus on de risk. not d couple. that sounds like an effort to not show up on the door of china with your

foot shoved deep down your throat in your mouth. yeah, the relationship isn't black or white. all right? because europe has no clear and independent strategic vision unless ambiguity is suddenly a strategy towards your top trading partner. and it seems like it doesn't really have a clue where it's going either. it's trying to cater to washington's anti china interests, while at the same time wanting to preserve its own interests with china, brussels basically trying to drive down the highway while straddling to different lanes, which really in any case doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do. ah, some big news in the financial world, brazil, unkind them have struck a deal to drop the dollar in favor of their own currencies for bilateral trade transactions and agreement and setting pain and sing. one has been signed with brazil, which greatly facilitates our trait. we are planning to expand cooperation and

field of food and mineral extraction, and to search for a possibility of exporting goods with high added value from china to brazil and from brazil to china. well, that's breakfast on the deal enables china on the biggest economy in latin america to conduct financial transactions directly without converting their currencies into u. s. dollars. the new arrangement is expected to reduce as you may expect, cost sapphire cilla tip bilateral trade investments to china remains, but until years largest trading partner followed by the u. s. on this, also brazil's biggest export market as well. all this comes just days after for the 1st time china using its own currency to import around 65000 tons of liquefied natural gas from the u. e. it was a french company, incidentally, till towel. energies has settled out the beijing is increasingly trying to use the u on to buy energy on the global market. say move seen by many as

a threat to the american greenback. political science professor at the university of brazilian alo affonso believes the process of d. dollarization is already underway it. these are inevitable new realities. the behavior of the u. s. has weakened the power of the donor as they use that currency to dominate the world. i think dominance of the dollar is coming to an end. perhaps the process of di dollarization will take a long time, but suddenly it's already begun and i should say quite intensively, especially after the destabilization of the situation on the international arena. the weakening of the dollar is inevitable due to the transition of trade transactions to national currencies. there's no need for extra intermediate trading operations the necessary if the deals a set in dollars. however, this is a new mechanism and is still unknown how companies will use it. nevertheless, we're confident that this will create a legal infrastructure for the development and enhancement of trading relations.

china's being brazil's largest trading partner since the 2 thousands, the shift to using national currencies is easier and more beneficial for all sides from a practical point of view. that's why we're seeing the de klein of the mediation of the us, donna. now a claim by the ukranian orthodox church stuff, the termination of a lease agreement on its largest smallness tree being a legal has been rejected by a court in key if it comes in mid a government attempt to evict monks from the site, a ukrainian vice regions in charge of the monastery house already said that plumbers lensky is quote, kicking monks out onto the streets that says local media reports that arm police attempt to, to enter the holy cries to a vic parishioners. the brethren residing their commission members up the side who were officially tasked with quote, ensuring the safety of the culture property reportedly left with taking action.
