an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground in the last go flopped on washington's advice for all american citizens to leave russia saying it's just peers more of it's fine. we'll get caught. red handed bounce off for a wall street journal reporter was arrested on the reins of involvement in espionage for the u. s. government ramping up the rhetoric just ahead of a visit to china, to european commission president board. and if the normal ties are to continue the come, free must chew the western line over the premium complex. it follows staging, proposing its own plan to bring peace into the region on brazil and china strike a deal to bypass the dollar,

turning to their own currencies. for use in my left road free and we look into the rama vacations about the whether you're catching the program from today or crossed the world welcome to moscow and the global news. roy and minority rushes, foreign ministry spokesman has slammed washington's latest advice to all americans . to leave russian, maria a horror of essays. it's only telling them to go because it fears more of its journalists engaged in espionage will be caught. it comes after a reporter for the wall street journal was detained by russian authorities amid spine claims. please. he'd the u. s. government warning not to travel to russia, us citizens residing or traveling in russia should depart right away. as the state department continues to advise. i think john care be forgot to ed engaged in

espionage before the word americans. it must have been said between the lines or moscow courts on thursday rule to keep the wall street journal reporter behind bars for 29 days, pending further investigation. our team, marina cost forever was following developments. 4th, there's a lot of thrust here at the moment, waiting to catch any glimpse all the american journalism 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 deporting this courtroom, he can see there we go. and we believe that even girl school, which is now leaving the moscow 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 and 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 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 of the american journalists in the city of you got it in book while he was receiving the 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. this is the prerogative of the f s b. actually there was already a statement from the federal security service. the only thing i can say us,

as far as we know, he was caught red handed. right now, they'll be looking into his activities here in russia were heard from, ah, the crumb and spokesperson with his scott, who earlier said 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 given you more information as soon as we have it. or earlier we discussed the claims of the reporter spying on the russian defense industry with independent journalist, mike jones and former us marine john, mark dubin 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 in your you're not really supposed to be going to weapons manufacturers and trying to obtain steep secrets. i would expect a lot of spin on it and down playing his role. and while 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 concerned. 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 claiming to be. again, it's another level of desperation. i feel of the u. s. and 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. it's in the core interests of the european union for peace to be achieved in ukraine as soon as possible because of the economic damage being inflicted on the europe through its own sanctions on russia. that is the message coming from the deputy speaker of the hungarian parliament. wherever she believes many interests of actors are actually seeking an escalation. initially, nita was created as an alliance. the purpose of which was to protect the member states from armed conflicts on their territory. now nato is participating in the united states game using ukraine as a puppet. in reality, it is not in the interests of the european union to support the continuation of the ukrainian conflict and the sanctions regime against russia. however, many you politicians want to escalate conflict rhetoric while it comes as questions

continue to be raised about the post conflict future of ukraine. just to give an example, an adviser to president lensky, revealed to position media that even before the conflict the countries population had declined by rhonda 3rd in the past 2 decades to blame was placed on the economic and social chrisy following the collapse of the soviet union and that decline doesn't include the casualties callers by the conflict. u. s. economists jeffrey sachs has worn but ukraine risks ruins if it makes the wrong decisions. the u. s. has been heavily arming and funding ukraine since 2014, with the goal of expanding nato and weakening russia. america's proxy was typically rates for years and even decades, leaving battle ground countries like ukraine in rubble, unless the proxy war and soon ukraine faces of di future. ukraine needs to learn from the horrible experience of afghanistan to avoid becoming

a long term disaster. it could also look to the u. s. proxy was in vietnam, cambodia, louse iraq, syria and libya. me? well, i'm happy to say ralph t ne, my are a terminal of the german console for constitution and sovereign c group joins us now to discuss some of what we've heard there as well. but can i just put you? first of all, increasingly power levels are drawn with what occurred enough gamma stuck with what occurred in vietnam was what is now occurring in ukraine, dawn. but as regards american involvement, how do you see that? could it become a long term disaster for washington? well, it could for washington, but it also could for russia, because you have to remember the 1st war enough. galveston 1979 had been a trap by the american present sky. the security advisor to president carter at

a time had confessed in an interview with me in 999, that he actually laid a trap by supporting the mujahid dame, who later became to taliban in afghanistan. so that the soviets would march in which they did half a year later. and that was kind of the end of the soviet union. so here you have to see from both sides of the war in ukraine, which the americans fight against russia. and also in the way against us, germans by the industrial lising us indirectly is actually a trap for both sides. and so if the americans are not ending it soon, they will be drawn in. and i don't think that this is very popular for most of the population in the united states. people already asking when to redraw new crime to get the same support. that is more joke, of course, but that is how the american electorate may feel. and del,

nearing an election. the next is, i don't think that they want to have a carry on much longer. if you had heard this time, maybe 2 years ago, that any talk of peace in a conflict would be ridiculed. essentially, the way it has been particularly by, by us officials saying that we're not ready for a piece talking on behalf of ukraine, essentially saying that it shouldn't happen the negotiations could happen. but we wanted on earth terms on essentially that leads the conflict to progress and perhaps even escalate in terms of ukrainians themselves. the people stuck in this. do you think that's what they want? no, certainly not the people in ukraine as much as i hear from the refugees who are coming to my country to germany. they wanted to end as quick as possible. and there's not that much of a blame game going on. they just say we want peace. we want to be able to go home

and to live our normal lifecycle. so i think they're all human beings on both sides that they don't want to go. but the conflict is it is escalating because of weaponry. first and foremost and more and more we, we hear about tanks, we hear about possible fighter jets, we hear about depleted uranium being sent for use and amunition against tanks. it all seems to be growing and getting bigger and bigger. if those weapon supplies thought or were brought down to a lower level, would that wouldn't that lead to peace? yeah, i would say it does by the moment that both sides understand that they have escalated that much, that they can't do more or enter a nuclear war. so what, what, no, i think what is happening there showing all sides as showing that they have to big

stick. the russians are moving certain material to, to bela russian sides and the americans are supporting them, the germans, empty holders and whoever, you know, they all pushing for that escalation and indiana, they will sit down and they will have to talk because the americans already said clearly they wanted to tell mr. zelinski that they would be ready to accept certain borders, but she is not ready yet. so, but see the one who's making the decisions, all the decisions being made, some ballads and natal headquarters on washing. do you feel that the, the background to this conflict has been there's, there's a greater or there should be a greater awareness of it. how it came around. we're not talking about the last year. we're talking about the past 9 years. even beyond that, back to 2000 and wait. and if there was awareness of that,

do you think that that's a way of informing people to, to get a greater understanding. and is it being hushed up? is it being put to the side by, by western media? and that's the reason why there's not an educated conversation. a discussion on this. yeah, because you have to use already the correct words in the logic of the best, the verbs that correctly been used and invest a media is that this is a war of aggression by russia to crate. if you don't mention that from the very beginning, you are not part of any discussion and the best on media. they cut me out for that because i always say, listen, it had started with an orange revolution, 2004. then we saw a brown revolution. then we saw the apartheid politics against the rational speaking minority and eastern ukraine. and then we saw, of course,

what entered into a civil war, which i still call the civil war. it's is more or less the civil war for me still though international implications are with it. but i would say it's a civil war in your brain, of course, supported by the west and supported by russia and the on the other side. that's also logic. your country, germany does the average german would they be aware of what occurred in 2014, the government overthrown. and what essentially led up to the events of today. now to say that what i say would amount to blasphemy. because to say that all to our, today's federal president, mr. stein, mike, who was the foreign minister in 2014, had actually actively supported the kuta top against young college, the elected and legitimate president of ukraine. at that time. i mean, to say that, and i have proof for what i say is really tough because they don't want to publish

that. so the average german citizen does not have this information and for that reason is being misled. but if i may say they are also disenfranchised. now they, you know, especially since the talk about the pipelines being bombed by some ukrainian terrorists or whatever bends which we may believe or not believe the stove. but since that time that we are suffering from the gas prices to energy crisis, away economies are suffering, we lose jobs, we have a high inflation state appropriating people directly. so this was the time where people say they don't want to support ukraine anymore as much as they used to do. and more than half of the population says already, no arms, please do more diplomatic steps. and the follow on to that is sanctions. of course, the blow back to sanctions against moscow, many believe have been felt more acutely in european nations than in russia.

itself is not something new agreement. yeah, absolutely. besotted. on the 5th of december 2022 to you commission, anti german government had said that the jewish bar pipeline that us getting us oil from rod from russia will be shot on the 1st of january 2023. now, do you commission when to cause us time to negotiate that they deliver oil, that we are electing now from rational supply since the 1st of january. and this was commencing, they said on the 1st of april and about 3 days. now that was talk that russia would consider that to stop that because they cared because it was the pipeline network is owned by russian state companies. they controlled company and they could of course say no. so i bagged the kremlin, actually in my position as an oppositional leader, i said, please let state oil from cause i stand through your pipelines because our economy

cannot have that. and i know that mr. charles is in the back books because he said he would arrest mr. flute and if you've ever come to germany in order, you know, we have to put this rhetoric aside and find pragmatic solutions. and of course lift the sanctions because they're only damaging us less. russia was been a pleasure speaking to you to thank you so much for coming in to the program and speak to ralph t niemeyer trimming of the german coast for constitution on sovereignty. many thanks. thank you. now, another story we're across to day. the european union sees relations with china are dependent on the country stance in the ukrainian conflict, suggesting beijing should follow the western lead agenda something. china's been reluctant to do any peace plan which would in effect consolidate russian annexations is simply not

a viable plan. we have to be frank on this point. whoa. china continues to interact with proteins. war will be a determining factor for e. 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 you going to do, he's going to go over there and weigh your finger in chinese president. she's in pings, face. father wine 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 u. s, 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 crew. 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, was driving these changes together. chinese communist parties flee a goal is a systemic change of the international order with china at its center. we have seen it with china's positions in multi lateral bodies which show its determination to promote an alternative vision of the world order. and we have seen the show of friendship in moscow, which says a 1000 words about this new vision for an international order. 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 clout in a multi polo world in which the u. s doesn't run the show with europe riding shotgun in which casey thing vulgar 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 when it was then frozen in 2021 after brussels in beijing sanctioned each other's officials, still were talking about the use of largest trading partner in a time when it still paying a really high price. and of course, the citizens, especially from cutting itself off from its talk provider of cheap energy, which would be russia. so wagner line also sounded 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 europe interest to decoupled from china or we relations. i'm not black or white and our response cannot to be either. this is why we need to focus on di least not the couple. yeah, 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 iraq has no clear and independence to his 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. and speaking of china, the countries armed forces on the russian military are now working to strengthen their strategic exchanges. to safeguard international un regional security and stability that is, according to the chinese defense ministry spokesperson from william j. you look, the chinese military will work together with the russian military to further strengthen strategic communication and coordination. we will organize, joint maritime and air patrols in bilateral military drills and deepen military trust, which will continue to make contributions to maintain or international and regional security. and stability that serves to build a community with

a shared future for mankind. while the development follows president, she's a recent visit to moscow during which both of the building advocated for a greater development of bilateral and practical cooperation. the visit was denied us by washington, calling to back the pentagon, 2024 budget, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff us general mark knew that if the world wants peace, washington must remain the leader. for the 1st time, the united states is facing 2 major nuclear powers, whose vital national security interests are in competition with the united states. both the peoples republic of china and russia have the means to threaten our interest in our way of life. but war with either is neither inevitable nor imminent . we must remain the most powerful nation. if the great power piece is to continue to hold. there is nothing more expensive than fighting

a war. and preparing for war is also very expensive. but fighting a war is the most expensive, but preparing for war will deter that war. i encouraged the congress to support this budget. all was a pleasure to welcome onto the program. dick black, former virginia state senator for the republican party you are most welcome. how thank you very much, you view china and russia's efforts to strengthen their strategic ties. first of all, well, i think there has, there's been such bellicose language used by many leaders in the united states is very unfortunate. there's this insistence on maintaining a unipolar world. we're, we're emerging into a multi polar world. i don't think russia is trying to take over the

world. i don't think china is. i think that we're insisting on maintaining this global dominance, which is gradually becoming a little bit shaky right now. and i think, i don't think trying it wouldn't necessarily be the i don't think they want war. i don't think they want to get involved in ukraine. but i think to some extent they feel forced into closer and closer alliance. i should because of the bellicose nature of the united states foreign policy against them. these days. the u. s. is top general as we just went through, there is asking congress to increase the military budget for next year. is he in your view, perhaps overstating relations with russia and china as a scare tactic of sorts. you know, his,

his language i think was, was unfortunate. yes, he said war is neither inevitable nor m an ad. i don't think it is a good thing ever to talk in terms of inevitable war, even if you're saying it's not inevitable. there's sort of this list over the past that somehow there is a probability of war. we need to be very careful about our diplomatic language when we're talking about the possibility of engaging in world war 3 with major nuclear power involved. i think there's, there's a certain in temperance about the language being used bandied about in washington . and it's unfortunate, i, i think we've got to,

we've got to lower the rhetoric and at the same time, hopefully we will begin to draw back from this war and ukraine, which is really been a disaster for everyone involved. what do you make of current u. s. policies towards russia and china. is it going in the right direction? is it not? it's not going in the right direction at all. first of all, let me just touch on trying. we are continually poking a sharp stick in there. i. taiwan. i think if we would simply leave things alone, i don't think there would be nearly the tension there is. but we have nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, flying to taiwan, to sort of increase the, the level of tension there. this kind of thing is terribly

provocative. and then if you look at what we're doing in ukraine, we over through the government of ukraine in 2014. afterwards we built up a huge army, a very well trained, very well armed ukrainians who were on the verge of attacking the russian, speaking areas on the fringes, near the russian border. and we have adopted this extraordinarily provocative and aggressive program. and we, we've got to withdraw from it somehow and lower the tensions there are many, thanks for your time and your thoughts today take black, former republican virginia state senator live on our to thank you. now as countries make moves to become less dependent on the us,

as regards the financial sector, primarily, brazil and china upstroke a deal to drop that dollar in bilateral trade transactions in favor of their own currency. an agreement and setting payments in one has been signed with brazil, which greatly facilitates our trait. we are planning to expand cooperation in the 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, the deal enable is china. the biggest economy in latin america to conduct financial transactions directly without converting their currencies into us dollars. now the new arrangement is expected to reduce costs and facilitate bilateral trade on investments. china remains brazilian largest trading partner, followed by the u. s. and is also brazil's biggest export market to all this.
