ah, ah ah, the pentagon struggles to keep it secrets leaking classified documents revealed the usaa been spying not only on its adversary's, but also on the strategic allies. we go through about this hour. also. if there is another surge of these hidden sanctions that were experienced last spring, it could lead to famine. in an rti exclusive, the chairman of the russian union of brain exporters reveals the official hurdles. the west is using to block trade in the, on the sanctions. rain and fertilizers, market, and purge in russian no longer allowed in the latest cracked on the revered. the

tourist love rec complex, and ukrainian authority, siegel the orthodox church. young followers another blow this easter week. following yes, faith of attacks on monks unbelievers with one minute. past 9. am this monday income paula in jerusalem on right here in moscow. welcome to the global news round up on the art speaker with friends like these who needs enemies. the recent u. s. military classified documents, delete cause 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, such as 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 duck, men's 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 in the information was from a signals intelligence report at terms piatt and since he is 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 reports that israeli national intelligence agency ma said hasn't escaped the attention of the vast american surveillance machine. now the cia assessment job in on intercepts reported that analysis and makes 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 secretive, multi $1000000000.00 network of surveillance satellites, tasks 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 league 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 a potential opportunity to count of the sauces 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 pascal 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 aren't enough,

make it on official. the russian union of grain exporters has told r t that former western partners are using a set of silent restrictions to deter foreign companies from trading russian, wheat, and fertilizers. products excluded from section lists don't always toilet us. we just see that this is a back stage process. when all banks refuse to make payments, all insurance companies refuse to corporate 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 surge of these hidden sanctions that were experienced last spring, it could lead to famine. we were on the brink of this last year. as soon as the

sanctions weekend, 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 a force to justify their actions, as they don't correspond with what they're saying. while several global corporations have announced their intention to exit russia's green export industry and stop operations in the country by july. that's operations that range from harvesting to having ships at sea. and it's going to leave a domestic void but rushers. oral kim, i grew cultural giant is expected to buy. i'd assets, meaning daily operations in the industry are not expected to be affected as qualified specialists and suppliers will get on with sending food to the world. and russian grain exports are increasing, growing its customer base by a 3rd year on year, including an expansion to the middle east and africa on with the black sea grain

deal with ukraine set to expire. moscow may have to consider if there is a benefit in signing an extension. as russia claims western partners are not holding up their side of the pact. soon, we're done personally, but 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. so what's the alternative? well, it may be to increase trade partnerships with countries such as saudi arabia, algeria, south africa, an get wheat, ultimately to nations. most then, nate. and while russia's military operation ukraine is being painted as the main cause of global hunger. western traders involved in the black sea grain deal beer

reaping the benefits some figures to show you here. more than 23000000 tons of food exports have left ports. undeveloped countries have received nearly half of that. look at this other figure here though, the poorest nations getting at 6 per cent, the poultry figure on one of the reasons why direct partnerships with consumers may be a better option. according to moscow, in sonata kirilenko, crofton put his asleep, 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. prayers in key if sacred, pet church love recite can only be said in the ukrainian language of is the latest restrictive stem from the key of bite orthodox church of ukraine. now, it follows weeks of arrests and harassment of monks and worshippers of the separate ukrainian orthodox church, which is aligned with the moscow patriarchy. the nations president appeared to turn

to blind eye though to all that in his extra speech. i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrating 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 on different dates, but 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 monks be evicted from a place they've called home for decades. the authorities been cheered on by people

with not seen speier, tattoos, and far riots. insignia ah, that smell of european freedom. ah. and here's an ironic twist of fate, which some have called instant karma. according to witnesses, during one of the true 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 or part of the ukrainian orthodox church. here, escalade rough, then you rival a church, then silk over the orthodox christmas service in january to services there with even the previous he crane and present bill at that a potash and come make an appearance to no doubt demonstrate his support. and there stand in their frame while ukrainian security forces i harass increased across the country and essentially locking 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 ukrainian 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 being raped, bullied and mocked. right in front of us. the developed society keeps 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, the 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 box. it made a formal break with the 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 chance when everything could be resolved very quickly and painlessly was during the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war 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 act of 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. not all citizens are aware that the chris of the moscow petra kate. i've been exchange for prisoners of war with great pleasure. and there has been more than one such action. 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 the cranium body. my bad. we've seen the west regularly farm at the mouth of our gay rights gender rights more. what about religious rights? 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 out of priests been thrown out and licked it, rated and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive view of 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 now a lot of interest today in this next story, the b. b. c has been slough. with that tug of government funded media buying twitter. it's provoked an angry response from the british broadcaster which rejects their claim, saying it's the taxpayers and not parliament that supplying the copious amounts of

cash was speaking to twitter to resolve this issue as soon as possible. the b, b. c is and always has been independent with funded by the british public through the license fee. willoughby the see is funded by the court lice since fi a compulsory charged race high. so the mounting to there, you have an $159.00 points annually. the amount is set by the state and the funds 1st, find their way into government accounts and then to the broadcaster at many users took to twitter to give their nod of approval to the label, suggesting it's a proper title. bbc whining because twitter correctly applies state funded media designation to its main. a cow it absolutely, and evidently is state funded and i hope ellen musk ensures all bbc accounts and presenters have such designations applied. i've always viewed this insistence by

many brits that the bbc is not state founded to be weird and arranged. if you on a tv in the u. k, you have to pay for the license. there is no rights to opt out. of course the, saturate the bbc estate found it, and the license fee is government mandated. and the d facts. it household poll tax with a b, b, c made some headlines itself. recently, one of them relating to tax irregularities that the indian government has accused the broadcaster of their offices, where subsequently search by tax officials in the country. the channel had earlier released the documentary about indian prime minister and to render him moody that was bombed in india. with new deli calling it a propaganda piece, the speaker of india's ruling party previously expanded on the situation with arte the be renewing allied ation. a consistent violation of writing it has been indulging in, in, in

a sense what we could call in the region taking of profit. don putting it all finance to my go about i'm trying to close in this country. human future to based on one convenient know to boss of the financial finding or should in the next thing that it is getting to. so i'm not going to g while among the reaction we got to this story was from journalists. martin jay, who said public opinion about the b, b. c, won't be greatly affected by twitters, this damage by the recent scandals. and also accusations of what's being on 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 for the baby. she's got 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. these sort of things to people like we do stay with that bro johnson and then become the chief executive officer all the or the secretary general's a, b, b. c. 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 as it's connected, murky connection with government. so just say that this is going to affect public opinion. i think public opinion is really too low. presently, i don't think it has that much impact stop using the dollar to curb western dominance. that's the message from a chop, a rainy and official, as he welcomed the russian delegation to tow it on, on sunday. the path initiated to reduce the influence of the dollar in region and

in nature transactions, which many countries had joining will minimize western dominance over the world economy to runs call comes us. russia under run agreed to expand their nomic cooperation and increase payments in their national currencies. the ruble unreal moscow out of it will invest in iran, steel and oil production, as well as improved direct banking relations. to run underline the north side trade corridor, as well as a key part of its development. know the plan will link routes for goods from moscow to india through, around bypassing western nations and their sanctions. around and russia aren't the only nations pushing for de dollarization turkeys. central bank. recently a non steps. the move away from the green button, push domestic lenders to increase the reserves of the national nearer currency

china on malaysia. meanwhile, are weighing a potential asian monetary fund as a country balance to the dollar dominated international monetary fund. and then move with potentially enormous geo political economic consequences. saudi arabia said in january, it's open to discussing oil trade in currencies other than the dollar. so pretty pertinent question. why is this happening now? well, the secretary general of the asian mares for m a cooperation grouping between major cities, listed 3 major reasons behind the valuation of the dollar over the past 30 years. first the, the financial surprises the 8th. and it was a deep one which many countries, especially you can and all the countries where one of the or the, or the next, the dollar system. the other one was the perfect currency,

which was out of the hands of the americans. and again, the dollars and the 3rd one which i consider that as the most important one, is the over use of the united states dollar putting sanction on the country and that country over and over again. and actually, let's say we can say help the country, the sanction countries to go to our working together. so you 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 despite the sanctions, and there would be no further sanction being on that. and they don't need actually the us all that to work with each other so that it would be sanction. or it could be a lead me by or controlled by you kind of want to fit this story in

as well today. french president and money or mac, has warned europe of becoming a bustle of super powers, such as china. the u. s. however, cause for continental autonomy and not getting involved in conflicts house and stopped you to recall brussels from towing the american policy line in ukraine. here's the take of paris based art contributor rachel mars. as president emmanuel nicole revealed to journalists on the way back from china, aboard the presidential play, that he apparently had some kind of an epiphany while he was 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 war, mobiles and speed down the regime change highway. the paradox would be, that's overcome with panic, belief wedge as americans follow us. the caution europeans need to answer is it in our interest took to the right across on taiwan. no,

that was the would be to think that we repeats must be comfortable on this topic and take al q from the agenda and the chinese over action. so mac, all just figured 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 michael claims to be a big admirer of former french president shot the girl who cat france. other nato 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 harm their own energy supply in industry. just because the u. s. one, i into this idea that it would bring the rush legality of the u. s. dollar. as michael basically begged us lawmakers to recognize during his visit to washington

last december sip, assisted young him. what it does is, what has happened and written months is a challenge for us, because we're starting to how differences are manages and the cost 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 shall goes, in particular, the inflation reduction act on the chips act. i chose that will split the west, now renewed interest in french teaching. autonomy might also have something to do with the fact that china sent him off with a really nice hard, a gift of a massive new deal. beijing has agreed to buy a 116 new commercial aircraft from the french, headquartered european aerospace conglomerate air bus, whose chinese production is also now set to double with the 2nd assembly line in change in that also moves airbus ahead of its american rival, bowie in china and gives europe a major new advantage in that fierce economic competitive do awfully. which is

really just an extension of u. s. 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 empty promises. it's not hard to imagine why michael might suddenly be singing the praises of keeping his geopolitical dating options open. rachel marston taken us to the end of this news block, but stay close south peter lavelle on guess are standing by for the latest course. talk out some fiery discourse, right ahead. this is part interaction with

hello and welcome to crossed out. were all things are considered. i'm peter labelle, western elite, or in acute state of anxiety. in america, there is a state sanctioned effort to destroy trump in his followers. europe faces mass protests and economic dislocation when it comes to foreign policy western gemini, and is on the fate of ukraine. overall, b outlook is bleak. ah, ah. discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guess martin j and mary cash. he's an award winning journalist, and commentator, and in budapest we cross to george semi while he is a podcast or at the gov, or which can be found on youtube and locals, or a gentleman cross that grows in effect. that means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate it. i start out with georgia in budapest. my introduction was a bit rim, but i think it's a good reflection of what's going on right now. really want to distill it by the

end of this program is how domestic politics and ideology in the west is infected and bled into quite literally into foreign policy. where we have this post modernist, a gen.
