ah, with allies they want to do everything in their power to preserve their privileged position in the world. russia devotee, i'm back to the u. n. a security council meeting that western power have insatiable drive to maintain a global edge of any crane further comes down on the freedom of the press in the country, then you will empowering the state down to build you out with you. going to have that on that also does a few things. senior clergy, members of collaborating with russia despite international religious figures, a believe the systematic persecution suffered by the

paternal. the crating orthodox church is an attack on all of us. one open church in the world, all christian churches, and all noble humanitarian ethical and spiritual values. also it is 5 and it says it will continue light in russian estimate despite pressure with almost go to the world. this is good to have your company today. my name is for russia, deputy ambassador at the un says it's hypocritical for western power to lash out of the proposal from 4 balls. go to a station, nuclear weapons on territory of his ally, bella roost. that's because the u. s. has long been stationing nuclear arms in nature, countries relatively near brushes, borders the west is trying to act within the concepts of rules

based international order where it's all, it's all. ready and the rules 6 that the others should implement these rules, they want to do everything in their power to preserve their privileged position in the world to preserve the well being of the so called golden helium by any brice. they are not hesitate to acting very much colonial or neo colonial logic in deploying nuclear weapons in the western countries for many years for decades already. and then when the russia analysis, similar, lance simply announces they already stopped hysteria. many developing countries, especially weaker developing countries. there of course, aware of possible consequences of the criticism of washington economic consequences, political consequences, financial consequences. during a recent un security council meeting,

russia top envoy to the organisation of the need been there, demanded the u. s. withdraw all of its nuclear weapons from other countries. he's had moscow cannot stand idly by as an a 2 countries conduct mercy drills for using nuclear arms. what i see is this should do it. so do. last rushing in the 90s took all measures to withdraw nuclear weapons from the territory of the former usaa. we averaged americans to do the same to abandon the thinking of the cold war period to return all of us nuclear weapons to the territory of the united states. u. s. weapons are deployed in the netherlands, germany, turkey, and other nato countries. recall that poland also agreed to participate in joint nuclear exercises. this is exactly the area that the measures taken by the president of russia are aimed at the 15 member body that leads the united nations assembled to discuss the issue of tactical nuclear weapons being deployed by russia

in val, roofs, and deliveries agreeing to host those tactical nuclear weapons, now, many us aligned countries used this meeting as an opportunity to simply attack russia to blame russia for the conflict in ukraine to a huge russia of various things that we've seen throughout western media over the past months. however, when russia took to the floor, they pointed out something that many countries have failed to acknowledge in western media has worked to just simply not mention which is that the united states has been withdrawing and getting rid of nuclear agreements. and he went over in detail all the withdrawals of nuclear agreements that we've seen from the united states. from there he went on to highlight how you asked policy as been aimed at trying to dictate and control other countries and escalate tensions around the

world. zip, at least one of the key western countries are simply trying to impose their own rules on the rest of the world. beneficial only to them in order to then demand this strict compliance from other states. they themselves, of course, do not consider themselves bound by any obligations. such inherently neo colonial latitudes are aimed at ensuring the prosperity of the so called golden 1000000000 at any cost. neither. we know our colleagues from developing countries can be misled, and he more the apparent hypocrisy of the united states in demanding that russia not be able to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to bel roost. while the united states and its allies have nuclear weapons, that was made clear by the remark spine to ben z a before the council overall meeting highlighted very big differences between major countries represented on the council when it comes to their interpretation of world advance. russia made clear

that the united states is acting in a way that is provoking conflict rather than seeking resolution. and not really enforcing any of this rhetoric we hear about a rules based global order. the devotee ambassador dimensions, pollyanna, he also said to us some piles of mossy the painted. that meant re resources by fuming. you claims war foot against russia, but she's strong enough. we will, we will compare it to the whole of the western world down from our when the west has mobilized almost all its resources. so key was meant to ask again and they are not able to, to, to win over russia. ukraine. i think now they are the concerns because of what are the steps they will do? you speak about washington. so then of course, the proceeds from the, from the concept of american exceptionalism,

that united states has the right to do whatever he wants of the international arena . and now they view russia and china as a threat, they try to mobilize to counts of these, these threats, and they want everybody else to be silent. not so interfere beside the russia and china. and i think that's the only probation of their foreign policy. but they act like people living in on a separate planet, having the right to do what that what they want in the country to, to the others. ukraine has instated a new law, giving printed the excuse of government, the direct authority of ban. any media outlets. it deems unacceptable without a court decision. the lawyer spines, the powers of the feigning council, on television and radio, broadcasting making it the sole regulator of mass media. it have power to impose

fines, all restrictions or completely bad news agencies without involving the countries judicial system. previously, the quitting government bind opposition party is viewed as having sympathies to russia that included a major faction that received 2000000 bows in recent elections. the new law and the media also prohibits depictions of russia that contradict, keeps official narratives. now, any reporting a ukrainian news outlet about russia must at least have the approval of the domestic authorities. the legislation has spots, grave concerns about freedom of the press. nuclear. the international federation of journalists joins it's ukrainian affiliates, the national union of journalists of ukraine, an independent media trade union of ukraine, and calling on the government to revise the new legislation. and to start a broad inclusive dialogue with journalist unions and the media sector. we go

reactions from just jason, michael and the boys are much about the new ukranian law as well as similar actions by western governments. this is a conflict situation and in every conflict situation, especially one of this magnitude, if this is indeed a proxy conflict between russia and the united states, then the stakes are very high and press freedoms. the very idea of press as an instrument of control and propaganda is instrumental to public opinion gaining public support, you know, manufacturing consent for the giving of arms. and, you know, the use of taxpayers money to fight a war in sight of the united states outside of western europe. so a great deal of consent is required and in order to manufacture by consent than the all the instruments of the, the state than all gra, for media media the, you know,

the, the government aligned media in the west and in the united states will fall into line and gives the support. i don't think anybody should expect the west to condemn this for all of their public commitments to democracy and free speech. we could in fact argue that the ukrainian model is being implemented at home. and given that they've already declared landscape the next best thing to a st, and that in there, i see can do no wrong. you already banned all the, you know, all the opposition parties. he's already nationalized the media. it's just one of those. if i run it because it, this decision comes the day after the western journalists are shrieking about the rest of that wall street journal reporter who was reportedly caught red handed, trying to spy on russia. and that's obviously in their eyes. the hack on freedom of the press, but this is not because it doesn't matter what you do. it's only always who you are

that's. that's all there is to it. because i have is one of the international. my phone has approved a 15600000000 dollar financing package for you guys. that means the country is now receiving a $115000000000.00 of economic support comprised of debt relief, grants and loans. this 48 month program is the biggest loan. ukraine has received from any one source since the start of the conflict. it's also the 1st time the i m . f has given help to a country currently engaged in the military conflict. $2700000000.00 is set to be an immediate dispersement. while the rest is due to be released over the next 4 years, however, the money comes with strict conditions, which will require a key to undertake significant financial reforms. claims economy contraction by

about one 3rd last year with a government seeking at least $30000000000.00 from foreign does to plug is fiscal gap around $28000000000.00 in loans. aggregate has also been pledged from the u. s. and the you are my call a, you know, neil spoke with an expert in strategic lead the ship with a focus on crisis management in emerging markets. the specialist says, the i m. s load will only increase ukraine's dependence on western powers. boring from the i. m f is not cheap it because if the base rate $3.00 for every pay out, there's a surcharge. and then if you take out a lot of money, it gets even more expensive because they're shipping kind of an incentive not to take out so much money. you credit suffers damage to its infrastructure. you know, then it gets a loan to rebuild, then rebuilding and then there's another attack,

and then you get another on. so in terms of was, this is always difficult and we should not forget their huge legacy problems. now, the scapegoat is russia, but the ukraine was in a, in a very bad economic situation because of oligarchy and bet fiscal policy before the military operation started. i think it's extremely risky. and you cannot use the standard approach, you know, which is tough fisco policy and so on. actually, it would need a tailored approach. it's hard to think that this is completely al touristic, what the i m f is doing. i don't think that this is very touristic in reality, and i think they are a couple of hidden agenda items which the western countries in particular facility one is to make the make ukraine more dependent

on the west, more dependent on ever increasing amounts of further loans just we pay the previous on the other thing is that it's actually a nice scheme for the western countries, which now deliver weapons actually took that money to get cash for the weapons. otherwise it would be a gift or sometimes they give their older weapons in order to buy new or whether they get the budget levels up in their home country. absolutely. so very not scheme to return a return it the equipment, the military equipment. so, and afterwards, when they said that trapped that trip there's a sense of urgency and there will be a lot of pressure to actually use the frozen for foreign currency reserves of russia. which is about $300000000000.00. so maybe this money then will be

used for, to repay this i m f. loans and all the other loans ukrainian thought is i have a report to the rated a permanent model spinky officer senior clergy members will choose of collaborating with russia that follows a recent training quote, routing that rejected efforts by the orthodox church to maintain its control over the religious sites. oh, on friday cloud calling to the eviction of the clergy arrived at the most seen cave shouting in souls and demanding that the monks vacate the premises. meanwhile, the dogs, christians and keys have been seeking to prevent police from entering the church and removing the clergy members. the government has been seeking to cut the sent

feasel ties with orthodoxy premiums and moscow advisors ukraine's president. and as he said, the judge needs to be, quote, physically cleaned out. unique chance when everything could be resolved very quickly and painlessly was during the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war. then it was possible to simply physically clean out many pro russians. today it is a little more difficult, but again, a little harder does not mean impossible. and today we must use legal and tough means to sweep them away. them also say that the actions that big them are illegal and that they have every right to stay in the modesty. the un report has also question the validity of the authorities measures religious figures worldwide, including pope frances, have expressed concern about church freedoms. being restricted in ukraine,

a greek orthodox, osh archbishop, has called on the international community to help stop the persecution. as he described the crackdown as an attack on christianity in general. and the hazard in the jerusalem church, which is one of the oldest christine orthodox churches in the world. we believe the systematic persecution suffered by the fraternal ukrainian orthodox church is an attack on all of us on all orthodox churches in the world or all christian churches and on all noble humanitarian ethical and spiritual values keeps rulers on the west to try to strike the ukrainian orthodox church, a raise it camps, government is working hard to do this. i don't think the west is just silent. it's an accomplice in this crime. if we say that the west is just silent, we will not reflect the whole reality. the western system and those who claim to be its rulers, whether in the u. s. or elsewhere, trying to undermine the authority of the orthodox church, not only in the crate but in the world. the orthodox church is under attack

everywhere because it has preserved and maintains faith, morality, and values, including family that the main one in europe. despite russia's concerns about nato expansion, the block is set to get even larger. the turkish parliament has decided to now black finance bid join the alliance off the anchor removed his initial opposition to the move. i welcome to vote of the grand national assembly of tortilla to complete the recertification of finland. succession. this will make the whole nato family stronger unsafe her. so finland now is joining nato. it adds another 1300 kilometers to the western military lights is border with russia. at this point, it's kind of like some guy at a party getting within 3 inches of your face and insisting that because he's not actually touching you, he's just breathing in your face that he's respecting your personal space. now we

keep hearing from nato officials and western leaders that nato is a defensive alliance, purely and strictly. but at what point does this endless encroachment just become offensive, particularly when there's entire liaison that law is to target russia and that it's become really bold in acting unilaterally on its own and circumventing the united nations security council when it comes to bombing other countries that don't adhere to the western agenda, like, for example, serbia and libya just to name a couple. one member of the hungarian national assembly expressed concerns today about what finland's inclusion could mean for peace and stability. if finland joins nature, this will increase the possibility of an escalation, as well as the risk of a direct armed conflict between a native member state and russia. nato is participating in a game that the u. s. is playing beyond the borders of the alliance. the u. s. is using crane as a puppet. in reality, it's not in the interest of the

e. u to support the ukrainian conflict and the sanction regime against russia. however, there is a bloodthirsty atmosphere of war among e, you politicians, finland, being a member of the european union, has also recently joined the chorus of western voices ratcheting up the pro war rhetoric against russia. and that's a new position for europe actually, which over the past few decades hasn't always blindly cited with washington for her french president, jacques, she and i planned german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, allied with russian president vladimir putin against the u. s. invasion of iraq, for example. and that was at a time when washington was looking to build that so called coalition of the willing . and that descent is actually what kept europe out of that particular quagmire to the economic and other benefit of the entire block and people of europe. today

though, where's the voice of reason in europe? well hungarian prime minister, victor r bon, is still trying to draw attention to the fact that europe's role as a peacemaker has pretty much gone out the window with the conflict in ukraine. the number of countries supporting peace instead of war has not increased at all. people want peace while you leaders are taking a pro war stance for them. the main issue continues to be deciding which weapons to send to ukraine. it is slowly becoming a legitimate question among e u. leaders, whether e u. member states could send peacekeeping troops to ukraine in some form. not only is the e u abdicating its role of honest broker or mediator between the west and the east, but it's joining washington and conveniently, exploiting the conflict in ukraine in which it keeps saying that it isn't directly involved to write a blank check for its own military industrial complex,

as suggested recently by the blocks chief diplomat yo's, a bro, europeans have reduced investment in the defense industry over the past 20 years. but due to the radically shifted security environment, we need to increase that again. specifically, we want to deliver a 1000000 artillery shells to ukraine within a year, knowing how easily europe was willing to follow along with washington's project of militarize in the ukranian border with russia under the guise at the mix peace accords. he operative word there being peace. any new nato expansion along russia's border with in europe isn't exactly comforting for the future of european p security or stability. we heard from finished up a my find form a member of the council of europe. peter is scholar. he says, the current state of affairs is beneficial only to the u. s. as europe is losing its independence to washington. now the mac goal is, i think for us, mary,

good, because it will think down europe it as it passed, it is done already. now. if i tell you a joke, i could say that u. s. has one already germany, an e u in the ukranian war. russia is unpatched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world, china, 900000000000. ah, russia 330000000000 and saudi arabia, 200000000000, they have more trade bloss surplus then us has trade the thesis one failure, germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't any more have but this selfish realistic approach and job political

thinking that maybe it is because they used to trust that u. s. is fixing their things and they are not accustomed to that us is like vacant cleaning. europe now out of energy out of money, out of power, out of own politics, and that's a big color. so those are for you from indian out ahead of india's flagship airline has insisted that it will continue to conduct flights in russian aerospace, despite pressure from western powers. the ceo of air in there have adam and he defended the company's decision as the south asian country maintain strong economic ties with russia. if that's the way the winds are blowing and it is most economical . if we prevent certain carriers from over flying certain places,

it doesn't necessarily stop people moving. it just changes where they're moving through. i think the chief off and india he defended the right off air india to fly through russian skies in this selves on the pool to interview to the telegraph . the journalist with the telegraph and interviewed mister wilson, he basically was giving him the logic that if you're flying or russia, then you're basically helping russia fund the war in ukraine to which sha, mr. wilson raised strongly, ah, have rubbish all those cleans. in fact, i remember most of the west in a line, they have quoted flying through russia, ukraine as well as bender who was and essentially what's that done is it has made the hours longer. it has made the dig, it's more expensive. needless to say, more feel well already meza shortage of feel was not insistently all source ever

and line. they were approached western government saying that an airline which is flying through the russian sky should be prohibited for landing western soil. now when they seeing use that india and china, they companies have an unfair advantage. foreign airlines using russian air space on flights to and from the us are gaining a significant competitive advantage over us carriers in major markets, including china and india. this situation is directly to the benefit of foreign airlines and at the expense of the u. s. as a whole, with fewer connections to key markets, fewer high paying airline jobs. so you're paying as far as a, a east to west, the route from east to west is concerned. the best possible way is flying to the giant territory of russia. what does it it makes it shorter, it makes it cheaper. but as far as india and china concerned they've not signed out

to the sanctions, so the still may be able to use this route. but interesting how in a sense of entitlement. the think that it's ok aligns to suffer as much as fairs minister is miranda moody, some lesson piles of express support for a hold on a former member of the indian national parliament. germany for example said it was concerned about the matter as a question. the adherence to democratic principles in the south asian country. we expect that the standards of judicial independence and fundamental democratic principles will equally apply to the proceedings against my will. gandhi, so background, raoul gandhi, was recently convicted on a defamation charge from a few years ago, from a theatre insulted remark against prime minister in the rent remedy. he was sentenced to 2 years in prison, but received

a 30 day suspension while he appeal the conviction. job political expert gutierrez chef agreed with the indian governance position on the matter. he said the other countries should keep their noses out of the south asian nations internal affairs. they never did. and in the little mecca, especially the visa a came from countries like germany between, you know, doesn't like indians generally doesn't like, there are other countries in perfume. you know, when to limit, i received the most a little the in order to buy a lot of mental india and as far as a to him. but he has what

choices with that and those are good for him. he has been going to the chevy and you know, because the seen the word and i know you know, you can, we can do it or later in the actual court of justice has rejected iran request to regain control of about $2000000000.00 of it. central bank assets are frozen by the us for the court has ordered washington to provide compensation to iraq. the islamic republic of iran believes that the ruling issued by the international court of justice shows the solidity of rounds arguments in the righteousness of iran's request. in this important verdict, the icy j correctly rejected all the fake defences of the u. s. there is a national court upheld the us objection to iran jurisdiction over the funds,

which have amounted to almost $2000000000.00 and bonds and cumulative interest. but it considered that washington seizure of toronto assets breached a 1955 treaty between those countries. and so it must provide the gree of compensation but left the amount to be determined later on. iran initially appealed .
