a sunday evening like any other russian war correspondent, bloodline to tar sky, was hosting an event centered around war zone journalism. here at this cafe, it was open admission. anyone could have attended. and starsky told his audience of his stories of war around 6 15 pm. his life came to a sudden end after an explosion reduced the cafes interior to rubble. mm. ah. he just took of the switches to a terrorist attack has just happened while vlad lend to tar ski was speaking. there was an explosion in the bar. it seems that our speaker sions got up.

this conflict is over donald quarter r t st. petersburg. the federal minister to tars kate was hauled on saturday. mourners gather out a cemetery in the capitol. he was posthumously awarded the order of courage for bravery, one of russia's top honors the ear may be overly reliant on its ties with the wes, that's the concert that's been expressed by the french president during a trip this week to china. a manual non cross said europe must avoid following washington's lead into a potential confrontation with beijing over taiwan. the paradox would be that overcome with bennett, we believe we're just america's followers. the question you were being asked me to answer is it in our interest to accelerate on taiwan? no. the worst thing would be to think that we, you are be and must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the u. s.

agenda and the chinese overreaction. recently the chairman of the us house foreign affairs committee said there would only be a conflict with china if it had the support of the american people. michael mccaul had been asked, how far washington would go to defend its interest in taiwan. speaker mccarthy, and yourself have said that multiple times now that we need to arm taiwan. now before there is any sort of invasion. what about u. s. troops arctic? you know, then you're talking about an authorized use of military force. it would come out of my committee or a declaration of war, which we haven't you license war to which you support that. i think if, if the of china commerce china invades to i one, i think that is certainly if the american people support this, the congress will follow. the words were delivered as a u. s. delegation visited taiwan on thursday, back in washington. how speaker kevin mccarthy hosted the islands leader. despite

objections from china. on saturday, beijing launched 3 days of military girls around the territory. the chinese foreign ministry also issued a statement that sought to clear up any confusion regarding the one china principal highland he stay. one is an inseparable part of china. china sovereignty and territorial integrity has never been divided, and divisions won't be allowed. some countries hype up the false narrative of democracy versus authoritarianism and use the pretext of democracy to support and connive with separatist forces and tie one for independence in order to contain china. this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. author and political analysts, nickel and merkel vetch believes that more crone statement suggestive visions within the planet community. this is typically manual macro. we know that she likes to tell people what they like to hear. so we like to see a macro abide by his own principles. if he's afraid of going to war with china by

following what the u. s. policy is. why was he not afraid of following the u. s. policy in ukraine in going to war in directly with russia. i do think it is quite interesting. however, because in such a circumstance it does show that within the atlanta community, there are divisions and the fact that emanuel macro open, he says to julius that he does not want to follow everywhere. the u. s. policy is something quite interesting. i think also that china has identified it manual macro as a weaker spot within the atlantis community. we're in the west and they've played on that. we seen how exiting being has agreed manual macro in china with a lot of honors, a lot of important meetings. i sidestepping ursula vendor ne, in a clearly showing that china was getting more on macro than he was on the european union reducing the dollars dominant. so the clear goal stated by

iran has the country welcome the russian president, special aid to taylor on, on sunday, to ron argues that reducing the role of the dollar in both regional and international transactions would help lessen the western dominance of the world economy. iran also underline the north south corridor as the most important part of its development projects. it plans to connect transit routes for goods from moscow to india through iran, bypassing western nations and their sanctions. the ideas voice by the iranian official is trending under the name d dollarization. and iran and russia are the only ones pushing for that. turkey at central bank has recently announced steps to boost this move away from the green mack and keep down the yields of turkish leeward government bars. on cur, wants to courage the use of the local currency in bank deposits. china and malaysia are also weighing a potential asian monetary fund as a counter balance to the dollar dominated international monetary fund. and finally,

saudi arabia said in january, that is open to discussing oil trade and currencies other than the dollar. that's moving away from the notion that the dollar is the sole currency to trade oil with . the secretary general of the asian mara's forum listed 3 major reasons behind the evaluation of the dollar over the last 30 years. first the, the financial surprises and it was the one which many countries, especially you and all the countries where one way or the other connected with the other system. the other one was the current currency, which was out of the hands of the americans. and again, the dollar system and the 3rd one, which i can see that the most important one is the over use of the united states

from the dollar, putting sanction on the country in that country over and over again. and he actually just, they can't, they help the country, they the sanction bunch to go to are the working together. so you all are sanction washer or thank you, i think and, and try no thanks for the many, many other countries. and these countries realize that they couldn't work with each other, this find the sanctions and there would be no further be on that. and they don't need actually be used all that work with each other so that it could be anxious or it could be a lead me head fight or controlled by the state. the v. b, c's, been slapped, or the tag of government funded media by twitter. but it's provoked in angry response from the british broadcaster which rejects the claim, saying it's the people and not the parliament that pay it's money. was speaking to

twitch, to resolve this issue as soon as possible. the bbc is and always has been independent . we funded by the british public through the license fee, baby se is funded by the license fee, a compulsory charge for each household amounting to $159.00 british pounds annually . the amount of the fee, though, is set by the government, twitters previously slots similar tags on various russian and chinese news outlets, including archie earlier. the american n p. r network was given a state affiliated media label, although that was later changed to government funded after you on must face backlash in the media. journalist martin j believe's, public opinion about the b, b. c won't be affected by twitters decision, as it's already been damaged by recent scandals. the broadcaster has found itself in will never reach such a low point. and other,

more and more people are asking why they have to pay the fee to many people at best are asking for the business both to be rechecked and for it to become commercialized. and whether people can choose to pay or not, or even as a pay as you go model, you know, it's an a crisis and there is also corruption scandals that a, b c go to now, you know, the recent appointment of it's of its top shop who was a friend of or johnson and who actually helped us johnson secure, a so called loan from a company canadian businessman to help on some of these new lavish lifestyle. you the sort of thing to people like to do things like that, burst johnson, and then become the chief executive officer of the, or the secretary general, the b, b, c. you know that that's the sort of scandal that people are now beginning to accept as normal at the pbc because corruption is something that is becoming noted by

media more and more about the pvc. and it can and it's murky connection with government. so to say that this is going to affect public opinion, i think public opinion is really too low. personally, i don't think it has that much impact, or at least a people are thought to be trapped under rubble after true buildings collapsed in the french city of mar, say, following an explosion. fire at the feet has complicated rescue efforts. video footage shows clouds of smoke rising from the ruins as firefighters tried to bring the situation under control. on excavator attempts to dig through the piles of bricks and concrete, at least 5 people were taken to the hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries. the cause of the explosion is not yet known. o delegations from saudi arabia and omar are holding peace talks with healthy rebels in yemen. it follows a reconciliation between saudi arabia and iran. and the deal brokered by china.

this is part of renewed efforts to end the nearly decade long conflict, and which saudi led forces have been fighting against the who, the insurgency, which is supported by iran. it is assumed that the piece talks will focus on a potential cease fire and an end to a saudi blockade of jamini ports controlled by the hu fees. there's also speculation that the negotiations will include the possible withdrawal of saudi lead forces from yemen and efforts to rebuild the country. efforts to establish cooperation between the parties are already under way, where the recent prisoners was conducted between the sides. the war wrapped it in 2014, when an uprising by who the rebels toppled the government, it escalate it into a broader conflict between a saudi led coalition supporting the government and iran backing the who to want to establish a religious state. china, diplomatic effort, which saudi arabia and iran restore ties have boosted hopes of a lasting resolution to the conflict in yemen. more than 23000000 people are

estimated to need immediate humanitarian health journalist usage more rec, has more on the development. we have to recognize that saudi arabia is taking this initiative to come to yemen, something which they have never done. i think saudi arabia is starting to see the downward trajectory that the u. s. and western powers are heading. and i think that, you know, they're sort of on this cross path where they are being forced to jump off the sinking western hedge a monic ship that they have relied on. we have to keep in mind that from on saudi arabia, the u. e. they all have us and western military bases in their own nations. they are part of the western forest to implement western policy in the entire region. you know, this initiative that they're taken is geared at establishing better partnerships,

not just in yemen, but throughout the region with also iran. you know, thanks to the china brokered agreement that they assigned to, you know, 3 weeks ago. right. so i think saudi arabia is a press precipice, where they are forced to jump off the ship of western. come all of them today, mark's 20 years since the rocky capital of baghdad fell to us forces in a war that love to trout of devastation is wake. we're continuing our special coverage of the event through the oil, which country indicate off and d, stabilize the region for years to come. ah meanwhile, a new gallop survey has found a majority of muslim nations don't view america as a democracy building power in iraq. for example,

72 percent of respondents don't believe that quote, the u. s. is serious about encouraging the establishment of democratic systems and muslim countries. exactly 2 decades ago, a large statue of the iraqi leader, saddam hussein was toppled in baghdad. the monument was brought down by a rockies with the help with us marines. he hasn't received extensive media coverage with many headlining it as the end of the hussein era. but it wasn't the end of involvement in the country for us forces. 2 years after the invasion began, american troops gun down 2004 civilians, including women and children, and the town of had date that one of the 8 marines involved pleaded guilty to negligence. all other charges, including involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, were dismissed. r t, steve sweeney traveled the country to investigate the incident and the legacy u. s. war left behind. id. there was a town,

the very few people outside of iraq knew before 2003. but it soon became known throughout the world. off to you as marines went on, the rampage, massacring 24 people like fallujah. this was also a revenge attack. it followed the killing of a you a soldier in a roadside bomb here. but the victims were women. the elderly and children as young as one who was shot multiple times at close range.
