r t international, almost been another busy news day with one story dominating the headlines. i'm peter scott. welcome to the program. we start to start with our developing story, the killing of a russian war correspondents in a cafe in st. petersburg was a terror attack upon by ukrainian. special services will not, at least is according to the russian anti terrorism committee for the main suspects of the murdered diarrhea trip of has arrived at the st. petersburg investigative department to give testimony versus investigative committee, has re classified the murder case as an act of terror. according to preliminary results, it said that ukraine coordinates of the planning of the murder, something kid has denied. as his authorities have completed the initial examination of the flats where the suspect was staying, trevor has been submitted the she was the one that brought the statue that exploded to the site. do you understand why you have been detained? i am detained, saw being at the scene of flatland petoskey is killing. what have you done?

i brought sachi there, exploded those who who gave it to you. can i tell you later? cuz i'm standing right in front of the cafe, where the explosion took place, and you can see behind me some flowers that locals have laid down there to pay their respects to the fallen war journalists of lad lend to tar sky, who many had lots of reverends for russia's anti terrorism committee has declared this a terrorist attack organized by key f with the help of agents from the anti corruption foundation, which is an extremist organization in the russian federation, founded by the imprisoned russian anti government activists. alex, a novel, ne, now, in connection to this, russia's investigative committee confirmed its detention of daria trap of a that's important. understand because there were reports in the media saying that she was detained for hours and hours even before we got this confirmation. and the

reason why it's connected to this is because she had a connections, according to these media reports to the anti corruption foundation. she had been arrested several times in the past at anti government demonstrations. and according to these reports, she also had been sending money to the anti corruption foundation. again, an organization which is considered an extremist organization within the russian federation. the russian interior ministry even released a video confession in which daria trap of a says that she was the one who brought this explosive statuette that i witnesses said they saw a girl bring in to this event key of denied any involvement in this explosion. in this incident, but that's not exactly out of the ordinary because last year when another high profile russian journalist, daria do gonna, i was assassinated key. i've also rejected any sort of having a hand in it, or any sort of participation in the organization of that assassination. but of course we're still investigating this story. we're still following the latest

updates and we'll bring to the latest as they become available. this video shows the moments of the blas to the cafe, where the reports of blogger had been hosting an event. the criminal has said that ukraine is behind the attack, but keith has denied that there is information that the ukrainian services are involved in the planning of this terrorist attack. and this is definitely a terrorist attack. and we wish swift recovery to those who suffered in the blast and send condolences to to tar skis relative if the president was immediately informed. russia is in a stand off with the key of regime, which is behind the murder of 2 and killing of people since 2014. and that's why the special military operation is ongoing. somebody. what's the task a was a prominent figure in the online community of war correspondence. the 40 old real name was maxine foreman and he himself was from the don bus. he for to the early stage of the conflict from 2014 to 2017. in the guns people's militia experience

led him becoming one of the most followed walker respondents with an audience of, of a half a 1000000 people. well, there was information, spoke some of the car, of a commented on his death center. murder was carried out with the phones, approval of international structures. russia during the lists are constantly hearing death threats from the key regime and supporters which are increasingly being implemented. they're harassed, branded in the literal sense with special markings on the digital platforms of american internet. monopolies, well, there is a witch hunt in the western media. all this happens with the tactic, disregard of the romans international structures which now can be interpreted as an approval if not complicity. in any case of the violent death of a russian journalist which was assessed by the key regime and it starts as a success, neither western countries nor international organizations, nor for professional communities conducted investigations. they didn't even show elementary humans ago the west was fighting extremism, terrorism marching with the united front and paris in defense of journalist. the gave him terrorist attacks were committed to day, the lack of reaction,

the white house down the street, the alleys, a palace, et cetera. given there, claimed, concerned for the welfare of journalist and freedom of join, it was, speaks for itself. as a foreign ministry spokesman said, the latest attack on the russian journalist seems not to have been condemned by the west party, contributed rachel marston will bring us more on that a bit later in the program. an unknown person or persons have lots monks inside of a building and the kid pitched lava in care of the clergy have reacted to what they call inaction by police. and they've labeled the incident state sponsored terrorism . this is we're now talking to you about a crime. if you are the representatives of the police, now they are holding somebody in sight. well, we don't have facilities right now to release them. just tell me you're here all

the time. you saw who did this close this building. hello, the people in. we didn't see you understand this. people are there as hostages. this is terrorism of what it is, a state sponsored terrorism. your witnesses, please do what is necessary. this footage shows the lock that was placed on the door at the monastery. according to the local media and ambulance was dispatched to the scene as one monk fell ill. the holy men were allegedly locked up by people working in the area where the persecution of orthodox clergy has continued in ukraine as cubes. authorities attempt to cut the nation's ties with russia earlier, the head of the key, if perchance lava was confined to house arrest for 60 days, and was transferred to court hearings in spite of his poor health. let's discuss this now with the deputy chairman of the synagogue department for

church relations. vac thank keeps, she'd say for time, thanks very much for joining us this afternoon. now, what do you make of this latest incident? what we see now is a time to eliminate ukrainian or folks church. and the city is realized with full ignorance of national by any norms concerning religious freedoms. and while i can meet it all the time against the delivery of the ukrainian orthodox church and the soul is without any reaction from the international human rights protecting bodies total silence, no support for the order of believe us, of the creation of church and ukrainian authority is

also plan to, if you can keep a check that out by the want for the case after the collapse of the union. when my last life at this place actually wants to restart after the fact the situation. do you think that institutions and the collective west in general, should condemn what, what, what the people that called the persecution of orthodox christians in ukraine? truly, i think so, but nothing is done. nothing has been done so far. and of course we think that this is a kind of a roof that elimination of the crating of the church of the moscow petrik, a life leak with the a fully

a just in that how many with games that were sent by a foreign west forces which are by the persecution of the cranial those church will remember when the president by them was it it eve he met with and come on the go ukrainian, or church. we just the kind of trigger for these while and see can on equal the granular church and that was actually on this to like a kind of sign of support of these prosecutions. and we know that after the after the town to evict your grand north 3rd church from the law this and t s. these are canonical church, actually is ready to take over the premises. ready for their own purposes.

now in the crowd it did appear to be some people with what appeared to be far right extremist tattoos in the crowd near the key of picturesque lava. what's your thoughts on that? they are not only for right x, they actually pay here and you can understand that from the that they have for the asking. and these they can move. once all is used against christians, actually they don't care for which christians they are against. they are used to gaze and that is why authority is i think, organized the speakers to fight christianity so easily because they are just they are there people who try to destroy christianity as a religious teaching as it is ation. so if they are asked to destroy a role,

said you, believe us, i think they will do that. i'm finally back to ask you how you see this conflict, the situation with the chance of playing out, where do you see developing in the future. but fortunately, despite all the people support and that we should take, we should bay now minds that ukrainian or orthodox church having by metropolitan a new fate continues to be majority church, people, church of ukrainians. but despite that, these church became a name for granting authorities. and unfortunately, we don't see any, any good signs that you created and assorted. we'll stop destroying this church. they are determined to go to the church from the mostly or

worshiped st places. they are ready to go for just straight take, you know, all the congregations of the church. they are just kidnapping greece over the ukraine of church someplace he will disappear and nobody. busy knows where they are, so this is total, i don't to repression of the or the pregnant church. and the, these all is done with a feeling of torture on a continual, he'll be opinion authorities. we're trying to keep. she the chairman of the finance department for church relations. thank you very much for your time and for sharing your thoughts was on the situation. care. thank you. ah. oh, but to our developing new store, this, the assassination of the russian war, correspondence in a cafe in st. petersburg, which was a terror attack upon by ukraine's special services. thus,

according to the russian answered sarah's committee. kiff says it has nothing to do with a loud uh flood. lin sitarski is killing the 4 minutes responsible marias. harvard has previously said that russian journalists have been targeted on multiple occasions, but she says that the west is turning a blind eye to such incidents. most cough live now to all, to contribute rachel mazda and rachel, has there been any reaction in the west to this incident? well, not really. and there also was a very much reaction on the part of the west to that nero to florida. it's list from that ukrainian and g o that's targeting journalists and activists, and that it still hasn't been taken down by the ukrainian government. there's absolutely no pressure from western countries for them to do so. so now we're at the point where a russian military blogger flood in petoskey, who covered the conflict. ukraine was killed in a bombing of a cafe in st. petersburg over the weekend. that also injured

a couple of dozen other civilians. and the reaction from western officials has been radio silence. you think that despite its ongoing differences with russia, the western establishment could at least agree that terrorist acts in the middle of a major city center is still worthy of condemnation. after all, we're still talking here about the same folks. he spent 2 decades kicking down doors around the entire world under the guise of fighting a global war on terrorism. instead, what's in filling that vacuum of silence from western officials has been just a parade of western journalists, underscoring what they figure to be. character flaws, as though they know the guy that could have went to the incident, have a listen is well known for being very aggressive, very pro war spy does the e t each other. that's how one ukrainian official described a blast that killed a pro kremlin military blogger, he, and insulted on a regular basis,

ukraine and ukrainians, and gathered up to more than half a 1000000 subscribers on telegram. though it is not surprising that he was a target if the western price is going to start using a military conflict to minimize or excuse murder of citizens, simply because they don't like their character or their opinions about the conflict . and that's a pretty perilously slippery slope for some members of the western press who's countries have been involved in various military conflicts like the u. s. and who have held very strong views, that basically opens the door for every western opinion, journalist to be picked off by a party to the conflict. who doesn't like what that journalist has to say. i mean, i'm pretty opinionated, should i like bomb proof, my windows or something at this point, the bulgarian investigative journalist crystal grocer, who was heavily featured in the recent academy award winning feature documentary film about russian opposition figure alexis devoutly apparently thinks that some

people are simply quote, legitimate targets for this kind of terrorism. he was a legitimate target. he was a, an officer and an intelligence officer and the propagandist of the same time. ok, so he's trying to argue that somehow the cafe wasn't as a civilian target. that is somehow transformed into some kind of a military base in the middle of st. petersburg or something. look, even if an american general walks into the ritz carlton hotel in pentagon city, virginia, right next to the pentagon, it doesn't suddenly turn the hotel into a legitimate target for missiles or bombs by some figure representing a country that it has a, has a beef with washington and speaking of which there is a lot of media rhetoric playing on petoskey, pro russia stance in his coverage. but there was no shortage of outrage from the western press. and officials over the murder of washington post columnist jamal

cash and g inside the saudi embassy in istanbul, a few years ago. and that's despite his longstanding activism against the saudi leadership. or what about the terrorist attacks on the shahan yet? do cartoonists and journalists at that particular security. now they were really activist, and to say the least yet that act was widely condemned by the west. a whole bunch of western leaders came to paris to march arm in arm with a bunch of protesters chanting jo, 3 shabbily. i am charlie i and the people who were attacks. so the prominent washington institute for the study of war, that's a think tank, whose board members include american generals, jackie, and, and david betray us as well as washington's former ambassador to the united nations . kelly craft, previously qualified tazarsky as a prominent russian military blogger, whose work they apparently considered worthy of informing their research. and now

it seems like there is an effort underway by some members of the west or establishment to rewrite history in order to minimize and reduce act of terrorism. all because a, a russian whose views they don't like happened to be the target ability contributes rachel marston. thank you very much for back in the don't for us or dense all russia. northern capital are bringing flowers to the university environment near the sides of some sort of sky death. the scene of the blast itself has been quoted off while lauren falls from the offices continue the investigation. will rough and war correspondents believe there are parallels to be drawn with the attack last year, which took the life of another prominent journey study to get to know she was killed in a car bomb last august. and she was the daughter of a prominent yet, sometimes controversial russian philosopher. moscow claimed ukrainian security forces were responsible for the attack. and that's something that kill denied. we heard from for me. yes, marine john might do good. who believes there's been an effort to silence pro

russian journalists. i was surprised because, you know, i lost another colleague several months ago. doria deanna and you know, we had spent time in dumbass together and we did some projects together. and now him and you know, i have to say maybe some anger because you, you only see this happening to the russian journalist. you don't see the russians bombing any journalist in the west. there was a lot of thought that obviously went into this fits if the details are correct, that we're hearing now that a lot of thought went into this. and same thing with dory deanna, a lot of thought went into carrying out her attack as well. so certainly it could have been the same group. they had to have some intelligence, and they had to have significant research to do this beforehand. we've seen the

west, they are doing everything. they can to silence the journalists that are either the even neutral or have a pro russian stance. so they're doing everything they can with the censorship de monetization or deletion of their social media channels and even resorting to these bombings. now, like i said, you don't see this happening to western journalists or ukrainian journalists done at the hands of russian forces. now, you only see this terrorist activity done by ukraine and people from the west coming in in killing russian journalists because they don't want their points of view to be erred. they have no defense against it. so they have to hide the truth that's coming out of their mouth. every terrorist attack we have seen in this operation has been done by the ukrainian military for the west

and were talking yes, just the not just new car bombings. but we're talking about the bridge to crimea. we're talking about the nurturing pipeline. every single significant can terrorist attack, or every single terrorist attack has been carried out by these western elements. and it's really, it's, it's disturbing. the 2nd president match it's i, bird. one has said his doors and how close to the earth and buffet the anchor at jeff lake. we will teach turkey and especially the u. s. a lesson at the next elections. the for news editor. a. how about tv? believe the diplomats are not to interfere in the internal affairs of countries. ambassadors are actually the invoice of the country that they are representing. so therefore, it is important for them to initiate the relationships with we in the company, the company that is there or genetic problems, and they are country as well, such

a ambassador initiate. thank the situation. initiating in the inner politics of a country is not welcome. of course, all around the world and been by dawn has stated this and the fact that he said our doors are closed because we are trying to teach them in lesson he quote, unquote set you may remember the present by that actually before being president has paid it out loud that they once present that don't we caught? and this coming was he then why coming to talk with the pollution party in the inner politics of turkey, which is not like to do neither with united based morbid any countries? well, this is a inner position a turkish people do. going to this tie. they are next president, they're going to decide whether they're going to stick with present or not. but this is not an issue or ambassadors or any foreign policy. a boy

and finally rush has announced it will reduce daily oil production by $500000.00 barrels by the end of the year. now the decision comes often opec plus decision on sunday to limit the oil production, bringing the total cost of a $1600000.00 barrels per day by the end of the year with them. so question in category regarding the introduction cards made by rushing clean. those who told tech plaza knows the total reduction will be by the $1600000.00 barrels per day. so i would like to point out that that include in addition, russian cars out of the object last spring work. and that will be on top of measures taken back in october of last year, which reduced production by $2000000.00 barrels per day until the end of 2023. this measure sykes from an important and necessary now as they will serve to set the lives markets. the opec plus cuts will start in may and 8 countries, including russia, 2 parts in the decision. saudi arabia, the largest crude exports,

they know very close, also pledged to limit its oil by $1000000.00 barrels per day describing the move as a precautionary measure to stabilize the oil markets. the newly adopted initiative has already spot to jump in crude prices on the watch off criticize move calling. it's not advisable to discuss this, this course live. now if you are to contribute to chris and chris, thanks so much for joining us this afternoon. not reading the region about this, it seems that these cuts came as a surprise. why are they so surprising? well, that's a really interesting question piece, because i'm not sure why they surprise the last major meeting of the opec plus nations. ok love to shed by saudi arabia, by the right, the national, the sector general said very, very clearly that we are no longer going to follow your lead. i, we're not going to allow us to do how much oil we apply or we would chase. and he was very clear on this point, but it seems like the, the most the families didn't listen to what he was saying. we didn't think he was,

which is very well. i mean, if we look at biden last visit to saudi arabia when he went to jetta, he was not really welcomed with open arms. whereas waiting president, she from china came with a very, very different reception that confusing to me as to why that both the prize but, but clearly clearly they all, while it will, all process on surprisingly, have spite of the results of the decision. and how are these, these increase to all prices go into, in fact, inflation and the cost of living, which countries have been fighting so hard trying to bring down for the past year or couple of months? yeah, i think like anytime that there is a shift in pricing right, just for the viewers. and the reason the oil pricing is so important is because without oil, you can't fly apply and you can't drive the car, you can't power machine as much as the net 0 new from the west. really without these things, you can't do anything that moves everything. i think we've just got to see these

guys, we've seen the directions on the us futures market today. and so the us pretty much getting credit is not pulling gaps with themselves. whereas for the allies, the europe, all of these other countries now having a restricted supply of oil, not just because of okay, tough decision, but the fact that they can't buy russian oil and gas, it's a huge thing for them. it's just going to make the problem even even worse to be the same in the u. s. may expense pain, but for their allies, it's going to be catastrophic. so it's not your opinion why the white house said that the move was not advisable because it's worried about its allies basically. i guess not advise the, let's be honest. what the saudi said, well, i said we don't really care what your advice is. we're the one for the churning out there, so it's not you. so why should you decide how much oil we can extract as opposed to how much you can extract it's really a nonsensical policy. and really, in my opinion, it's the time when, when you know, especially europe needs to look around and say, hey, why are we taking orders from these people when, when in the middle east,

that they're not taking no does anymore. so it looks like within an opec forces, i didn't just very independently, basically all the, it's not like say not taking any advice towards them to be this move could be related to the western price cap on russian oil. and how would it affect the sales of rational? it's quite a complex issue. the yes and so that's a great question. so we will have to remember that russia is a member of i plus the us is not right. so in any trading group in the world, your, your entire pipe hope that's great. the trading group is to support our members. so it would be very, very strange if the other countries even decided to not support russia. russia as to it is evident. his roster is also down to the amount of oil russia right now . as really you can a capacity for the chinese market that they've chosen to make. because that's what countries do when they respect treaties and respect international law which treated the us. so clearly as the price of them as to why you know the countries are

reacting together and moving together in one law. well, i'll see contribute to chris. thank you very much for your time this evening for breaking down. those are oil quotes for thanks a lot. thanks a lot pizza. well, that's all for this offer more on any of those stories, those oil cuts. ah ah, the.
