and followers another blow. this easter week, following weeks of attacks on monks unbelievers with good morning from moscow with 30 minutes of news on views coming your way to help you with us today with friends like these who needs enemies. the recent u. s. military classified documents leak has on least a pandora's box or cross diplomatic cables, including the revelation that washington has reportedly been spying on some of its closest allies, including south korea and israel. the documents you feel that american intelligence services are not normally spawn on the russians, but are also eavesdropping on important allies. one section of the documentary reports at south korean officials were worried that president biden would call

south korea's president, pressure and sale to deliver the goods. and now the section of the documents from the cia is more explicit about how the united states has lands about the south korean deliberations note. and the information was from a signals intelligence report, at terms by a chance is used for any kind of intercepted communications from phone calls to electronic messages. as the pentagon scrambled to investigate the online league of a huge trove of sensitive intelligence, the manner in which america harvests shares and protected secrets is coming under increasing scrutiny. security analysts also say the trove includes briefing slides on china. the increasingly tens endo pacific. it also turns out that the u. s. has been keeping tabs on there is rarely partners, reporter, israeli national intelligence agency. ma said hasn't escaped the attention of the

vast american surveillance machine. now the cia assessment char, we none intercepts reported that anal it to neat february senior ladies of the massage israel's foreign spy agency advocated for massage officials and israel, a citizens to protest judicial reforms proposed by israel's new government. the washington post also reports that these leaks have impacted the entire u. s. intelligence architecture with the national security agency, the cia and the defense intelligence agency, all being compromised. even the highly secret of national reconnaissance office, which is arguably the most clandestine intelligence agency of them all, gets a mention. it's responsible for a highly secret of multi $1000000000.00 network of surveillance satellites, tasked with watching friends and enemies alike. on surprisingly, senior political figures are now openly voicing their concerns about the impact of this affair. it seems like

a massive counter intelligence problem. the fact that this trove of documents was leaked. we are talking about things that could damage our national security and ca, efforts in europe and around the world as you'd expect. the ongoing conflict in ukraine features widely in the li reports which also reveal that the u. s. is actively spying on ukraine's military and political leadership, detailed battlefield, intel and ukraine's combat strength. a logistical reliance on nato is laid bare with a dismal assessment of the reality of the back mot. meat grinder confirming what many independent alice already knew about ukrainian losses in the front line city. the lake has the potential to do real damage t crane's war efforts by exposing which russian agencies the united states knows the most about. given moscow at the town shallow patina seats account of the sources of information, predictably claims that the documents are an elaborate fake have surfaced in the western media with ukrainian government advisor. because padia like saying that

they are a russian ploy to so distrust among ukraine's partners. the aim of secret data leaks is obvious. divert attention, cast doubts, and mutual suspicions so discord. it's an ordinary game of russian secret services . meanwhile, kremlin spokesman dmitri passcode has said the documents merely prove what russia has been saying all along. as they show the extensive level of western involvement in the conflict, the files verify how nato's initial support for ukraine has escalated into a proxy war against russia. regardless of the origin of the documents, they shine a light into a murky corner of u. s. foreign policy, suggesting that whether you are a friend or foe. uncle sam is watching your every move. when sanctions are not enough, make it unofficial. the russian union, a grain exporters, has told r t that former western partners are using

a set of what he called silent restrictions to deter foreign companies from trading . russian, wheat, and fertilizers, products excluded from sanctioned lists, found, always toiled others. we just see that this is a back stage process. when all banks refuse to make payments, all insurance companies refuse to cooperate are all ships under a certain flag refuse to enter russian ports despite all existing licenses. what kind of private initiative is this? when all this happens on a scale, those are clearly coordinated actions. and this is confirmed to us in informal conversations that there is a verbal command to do this. of course, no one can confirm it is completely unofficial, but it works very effectively. so if there is another search of these hidden sanctions that were experienced last spring, he could lead to famine. we were on the brink of this last year. as soon as the sanctions weakened, the grain price immediately returned to normal and it happened as soon as we went

public. when we asked these uncomfortable questions, then people who state one position are forced to justify their actions, as they don't correspond with what they're saying. now several foreign corporation have announced their intentions to exit. russia's green export industry, the chair up cargo. and the louis dreyfus company are set to stop operations in the country by july operations that range from harvesting to having ships see. now that's going to leave a domestic boy, but rushes are all. can i? gra, cultural giant is expected to buy out assets from that canadian, u. s. and french firms, meaning daily operations in the industry are not expected to be affected as qualified specialists. and suppliers will get on with sewing, planting and shipping to keep getting food out to the where a lot comes as the russian grain union has increased,

an increase in exports year on year growing its customer base by a 3rd, including an expansion to the middle east. and africa and with the 2022 black sea grain deal with ukraine set to expire. moscow may have to consider if there is a benefit in signing an extension to that agreement. as russia claims western partners are not holding up their side of the bargain, the alternative may be to increase trade partnerships with countries like saudi arabia, algeria, and south africa, in order to deliver grain to the most needy global side effect goal. the highly scrutinized brain deal ultimately feel switching. zoom were done fashionable. sure . we have approached this with a degree of aggravation. we have offered to extend the steals for only 60 days. that is based on the fact that if there is no further progress in removing obstacles against russian fertilizer and grain exports,

we will have to consider whether or not we really need this deal under the deal. and while rushes offensive in ukraine is being painted as the main cause of global hunger, western traders involved in that block c grain deal are reaping benefits during the pack. more than 23000000 tons of food exports have left black seaports and developed countries have received nearly half of that the poorest nations. on the other hand, we'll look at this at doesn't even get into double digits, just 6 percent. one of the reasons why direct partnerships with consumers may be a better option. according to moscow. in sonata kirilenko, crofton put his, actually our own companies have already surpassed foreign ones many times over. and of course the situation has evolved over the past year. and so we just ready, we've been faced with attempts to strike us out of the world market to reduce us to 0. but one must understand that russia is responsible for more than 20 percent of

supplies on the world, great market. and so these erroring of such a volume would lead to a serious food crisis. those sanctions that they tried to impose on us were an official because grain belongs to the category of humanitarian goods. but the sanctions were imposed by verbal commands by individual officials who were obstructing us in any way possible. but over the past year, we've established direct relationships with our biggest customers. these are the countries of the middle east, north africa. they're the world's largest grain consumers. that is to day, we've created our own unique trading space outside the global one. and this for us, as it turns out, as a much more workable design. not prayers in kia as picturesque love recite can only be said in the ukrainian language. that's the latest restrictive step from the key have back orthodox church of ukraine. now, it follows weeks, you remember of arrests harassment of monks and worshippers of the separate

ukrainian orthodox church. aligned with the moscow patriarchy. the nation's president, though appeared to turn a blind eye to all of us in his easter congratulation re speech. i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrate and easter to day. everyone has celebrated on the front lines in our cities and villages. we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. we may have different traditions, but there is one common for everybody is the homeland protection. we may celebrate such bright holidays and different dates, which one day will be the marked for every one for ukraine and for the whole free world. at 1st, they celebrate christmas like the europeans in december, and now it's easter. so what if orthodoxy, sir, is actually this coming sunday, who cares? ukrainians will learn to celebrate like the rest of the free world according to vladimir zalinski. and this is what religious freedom looks like. key of style monk

speed evicted from a place they've called home for decades. the authorities been cheered on by people with nazi inspire, tattoos, and far right insignia. ah, that smell of european freedom. ah. and here's an ironic twist of fate, which some have called instant karma. according to witness. as during one of the church trades, a man snatched the priest's cross, threw it on the ground. and literally moments later the assailant died. if that's not a sign, then i don't know what is. so what is at the heart of the matter,

while t of is trying to cleanse its churches from anyone they deem pro russian ban in the russian language and its churches. and even threatening the leadership of the ukrainian orthodox church with jail time, accusing him of inciting religious hatred and justifying voss and aggression the law and the responsibility for violating it are the same for every one and a cassock is no guarantee of pure intentions. rushes using religion to promote propaganda and divide ukrainian society, the leader of the monastery. metropolitan puddle has now been placed under house arrest for 2 months. here is the injury. i didn't do anything wrong. i know this is a political case because i was told to switch to the key of backed orthodox church of ukraine, but i refused to. i was threatened, the security service of ukraine came to me and said a criminal case should be opened against me. and it was, i don't know who planned it, i'm not going to figure out that because it's not my style to sell this. i'm a religious person. so watts if millions still follow him as part of the ukranian

orthodox church, not to be confused with the rival church created just 4 years ago, which was named rather confusingly, the orthodox church of ukraine. the government decided to terminate a long held lease agreements with the old church and throw them out of the key of pitcher school abra. then you rival a church, then silk over the orthodox christmas service in january. and now they're conducting east to services. there was even the previous ukrainian present bill that brought us and come make an appearance to no doubt demonstrate his support. and there stand in their frame why ukrainian security forces i harass increase across the country and essentially locked in up the spiritual leader who had been there for years. and this though, the most famous one so far is just one of dozens of criminal cases against priest in the ukraine, an orthodox church. here's another example. a priest opens his door and there are

those ukrainian security forces once again with accusations of a priest corporates and with russian soldiers and supports in the special military operation. we see orthodox christianity b rates per late unlocked right in front of us, the developed society keep silent. that's not what they were human rights declarations and reports on religious freedom for there will be better occasions like conferences of symposiums. there they will talk about high culture all this, despite the fact that the ukranian orthodox church has denied claims of endorsing so called russian propaganda, they even went as far as to officially caught their ties with russia last year. the church was under the wing of the moscow patriarch it for centuries bought. it made a formal break with a hierarchy in moscow. a few months after the special military operation began. but even that wasn't enough for caves, authorities and the purge continues a unique chunks, when everything could be resolved very quickly and painlessly was during the 1st 3

to 6 months of the wall than it was possible to simply physically clean out. many pro russians. today it's 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. and here's another plan after the purge, according to ukraine's national security adviser, all the priest that have been detained will be used as the leverage to secure the release of captured ukrainian soldiers. and that seems to be okay with the international community machine. i'm not all citizens are aware that the chris of the moscow potter kate, i've been exchanged for prisoners of war with great pleasure. and there has been more than one such action legal reason. where are all the human rights religious freedom love an act of us now? is this ok? the u. s. has previously sanctioned officials for similar violations, the persecution of religious minorities for example. oh,

by the way it's that was china, not at sea crane. embody my bad. we've seen the wes regularly bomb at the mouth of a gay rights gender riots. well, what about religious right? does not mean anything any more or only when it comes to ukraine, but it's all falling on the west staff ears as no one is making a big deal at off priest, been thrown out, addicted, rated and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive yield, russia, i guess they don't deserve human rights comp on the president. i tell you mister president and all of your gang, our tears won't fall on the ground. they will fall on your head today. you think that by coming to power on our backs on our will, you can treat us like that. god will not forgive you and your family for this deed . because today in these holy moments, 220 brothers are thrown by you on the street. woe to you be afraid,

stop using the dollar to curb western dominance. that is the message from the iranian supreme national security council secretary and welcoming a top russian official to, to run on sunday. that path in shaded to reduce the influence of the dollar in region and in nature transactions, which many congress are joining will minimize western dominance over the world. economy to rounds call comes us. russia under run agreed to expands economic cooperation and increased payments and their national currencies, the rubel on the real moscow of it. it will invest in iran steel, an oil production, as well as improved direct banking relations to run underline the north side trade corridor is a key part of its development to now that plan will link routes for goods from moscow to india. sch, through around bypassing western nations on their sanctions with iran and rush aren't the only nations pushing for di dollar eyes ation. turkeys. central bank has

recently a non steps to move away from the green bar and keep the yield of the turkish lyric . the nominated government following the significant move on korea is also encouraging commercial banks to refrain from large dollar holdings. china and malaysia. meanwhile, are weighing a potential asian monetary fund as a contra balance to the dollar dominated international monetary from saudi arabia said in january, it's open to discussing oil trade and currencies other than the dollar move with enormous geopolitical economic consequences. so why is this all happening? well, the secretary general of the asian merge forum, a cooperation grouping of the continents major cities, listed 3 major regions behind the evaluation of the dollar over the past 30 years or so. first, the, the financial crisis cards in 2008 and it was the one which many countries,

especially you can do. and all the countries where one way or the other connected to the dollar system. the other one was the curb. the currency, which was out of the hands of the americans and again, the $1.31 which i consider that as the most important one is the use of the united states from the dollar. putting sanction on the country in that country over and over again. and actually, let's say we can, they help the country, they the sanction countries to go to our working together. so the all sanction washer was gradual. la, thank 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 calls on that. and

they don't need actually the us all that works with each other so that it would be sanction or it could be a lay me head by or by you know, the b, b, c has been sla, with the tag of government funded media by twitter. it's provoked an angry response from the british broadcaster which rejects the claim, saying it's the taxpayers are not the parliament that supply the cache. we're speaking to twitter to resolve this issue as soon as possible. the b, b. c is and always has been independence. we funded by the british public through the license fee of a baby see is funded by the quote life since the compulsory charge for each high solar mon thing right now to run a $159.00 british pines annually. the amount is set by the government. the funds

1st flow to the states consolidated fund bbc whining because twitter correctly applies state funded media designation to its main account is absolutely and evidently is state funded and i hope you learn musk insurance all bbc accounts and presenters have such designations applied. i've always viewed this insistence by many braids that the bbc is not state funded to be weird and arranged. if you own a tv in the u. k, you have to pay for the license. there is no rights to opt out. of course, this is accurate. the b, b. c state funded the license fee is government mandated in the de facto household poll tax or broadcaster made some headlines itself. recently. one of them relates to a legit tux or regularities that the indian government house accused the b, b. c of their offices where search by tax officials earlier the channel released

a controversial documentary about indian prime minister and their end remotely. that was banned in india, which called it a propaganda peace. the speaker of india's ruling party previously expanded on the situation with our to be doing a lot, ation a while for grading it is been indulging in, in, in authentic been in the union or we could call and see region of profit don putting it. so do you think, oh finance, to my go about compliance with docs in this country. some documents to be used to be used on one side and i did it convenient? no, to boss of the financial mishandling or should in the next thing that it is going to. so i'm not going to be a veteran journalist martin j say public opinion

about the bbc won't be affected really by twitters decision up. so it's already been damaged by the recent scandals that broadcast dress by itself embroiled in will never reach such a low point. another 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 reject and for it to become commercialized and web. 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, 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 some of these new lavish lifestyle. you know, the sort of thing people like we do things like that, burst johnson and then become the chief executive officer or the,

or the secretary general, the bbc. 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 back from china, aboard the presidential plane. that he apparently has some kind of a history. while he is in china, it sounds like he's now saying that europe really doesn't have to ride shotgun alongside washington every time that washington decides to load up the warm up bill and speed down the regime change highway. the paradox would be that's overcome with panic. we're belief, we're just americans follow us. the question europeans need to answer. is it now interest to accelerate the christ anti one? know there was thing would be to thing that we repeats must become full, was on this topic and take our cue from the agenda and the chinese over action. so my whole just figure it out apparently that france can have a foreign policy that's independent and not aligned with either the east or the

west. not sure how we managed to miss that lesson earlier since my whole claim to be a big admirer of former french president shah, the girl who kept france. nieto was built a relationship with moscow and kicked the americans out of france when they wanted to stick around indefinitely after the 2nd world war. like they have in germany. it's just that macklin didn't have that lesson at top of mind prior to the ukraine conflict popping off. he may been able to convince his european counterparts not to jump off an economic cliff at home, their own energy supply in industry, just because the u. s. wanted them to mistakenly buying into this idea that it would bring the russian economy to its knees as branch economy, minister, pulling all the mass, said mac, who said that european nations should also reduce their dependence on the quote extra territoriality of the u. s. dollar. and avoid becoming, quote, vassals, macros, new found concern about us economic overreach might have something to do with the

potentially devastating impact on europe of biden's inflation reduction act, particularly on european industry. as mac home basically begged us lawmakers to recognize during his visit to washington last december, specifically on the market, is what has happened and written months is a challenge for us. because we're starting to how differences in energy shoes and the costs of the war and ukraine is not the same in europe and in the united states . but most importantly, the choices that have been made for which i share the goes, in particular, the inflation reduction act on the chips act. i chose that will split the west not renewed interest in french strategic autonomy might also have something to do with the fact that china sent him off with a really nice hearty gift of a massive new deal. beijing has agreed to buy a 160 new commercial aircraft from the french, headquartered european aerospace conglomerate, airbus,

whose chinese production is also now set to double with the 2nd assembly line in change in that also whose airbus ahead of its american rival, bowie in china and gives europe a major new advantage in that s economic competitive do awfully, which is really just an extension of us and european interest since boeing and airbus is so economically critical. so heading home with this new yet from china for the french economy at a time when the us side has given europe a string of headaches and anti promises. it's not hard to imagine why mac hole might suddenly be singing the praises of keeping his geopolitical dating options open. time this monday for a visit to the going underground studios and today option and guest european economists daniel lacrowe discuss whether the next predicted banking crisis could make 2008. don't turn the back just about the at the office with

i'm after it and see and welcome back to going undergrad will gusting all round the world from dubai in the u. e. this week we're asking, is it really all doom and gloom for the global economy? explanation media had shock went, chalked, and opec plus suddenly announced the slashing of oil production in stark contrast to the begging of abiding administration that's only just had to bail out the 2nd was bank failure in u. s. history. joining me today to make sense of it all from the form of financial center, the world london, is professor daniel the collier chief economist at the spanish wealth management fun dresses, and he's been ranked as one of the top 20 most influential economists in the world . thank you so much shy, daniel for coming on forget to as we b as a good valley, a bank. what about credit suisse? because they've been asian media. commentators seem desperate to say, look, this is nothing like 20 o 8 and then we have these shifts. you of euro pacific capital, who i think,

you know, saying isn't going to get better. this is going to be worse than to the.
