a tom both with ah, if there is another surge of these hidden sanctions that were experienced last spring, they currently to famine an rti exclusive but chairman of the russian union of grain exporters reveals the official hurdles. the west is using to lock trade in the unsanctioned grain on fertilizers market. prairies and russian no longer allowed than the latest cracked on at the revered, picturesque love rec complex in kiev, ukrainian authorities, daily orthodox church and followers another blow this easter week. following a space of attacks on monks unbelievers up and down the street. the b. b. c. appeals to twitter to remove the government funded media label on its profile.

despite all evidence pointing to the broadcaster receiving money from this thing with danny, i'm here in moscow. this monday, april the 10th. i'm you know, neil and this is the news are here on our t international. when sanctions aren't enough, make it all, no official. the russian union of grey next porters house told artsy that former western partners are using a set of silent restrictions to deter a foreign companies from trading russian, wheat, and fertilizers, products excluded from sanctioned list. i would always toil others. we just see that this is a back stage process. when all banks refuse to make payments, all insurance companies refuse to corporate or 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 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. there will several global corporations have announced their intention to exit rushes, green export industry, and stop operations in the country by july operations that range from harvesting to having ships at sea that's going to leave a domestic void. but russia's world, kim, agricultural giant, is expected to buy out assets,

meaning daily operations in the industry are not expected to be affected as qualified specialist 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 to africa. and with the black sea grain deal with ukraine set to expire. moscow may have to consider if there's a benefit in signing an extension as russia claims western partners are not holding up their side of the pact, zoom were done fashionable. sure. we have approached this with a degree of aggravation. we have offered to extend the steel 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 while

the alternative may be to increase trade partnerships with countries like saudi arabia, algeria, and south africa, and get wheat ultimately to nations. most in need on wild rushes military operation in ukraine is being painted as the main cause of global hunger, western traitors involved in the black sea grain dealer reaping benefits more than 23000000 tons of food exports have left ports their undeveloped countries. well, they have received almost half off up, but look over here, this other figure, the poorest nations get just 6 percent. one of the reasons why direct partnerships with consumers may be a better option according to moscow. in sonata kitchen with a crop computers, 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're 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. k to another of our headline stories today. prayers and key of secret picturesque law for us. i can only be said in the

ukrainian language style is the latest restrictive step from the key of backed orthodox church of ukraine. 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 a blind eye though to all that in his easter speech. i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrate and isa. today, we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. at 1st, they celebrate christmas. likely 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. he have style monks been 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 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? well, t of us trying to claim its churches from anyone they deem pro russian ban in their awesome 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 russian aggression the law . and the responsibility for violating it are the same for every one and a cassock is no guarantee of pure intentions brushes using religion to promote propaganda and divide ukrainian society. the leader of the monastery metropolitan puzzle has now been placed her house rest for 2 months here in july, 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 ukrainian orthodox church, not to be confused with the rival church created just 4 years ago, which was named iran or 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 picturesque lava the new arrival at church than silk over the orthodox christmas service in january. and now they're conducting east to services there with even the previous ukrainian present bill that of 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 and of a 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 ukraine, any an orthodox search has denied claims of endorsing so called russian propaganda . they even went as far as to officially cut 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 for 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. then 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 average to secure the release of captured ukrainian soldiers. and that seems to be okay with the international community. mm hm. and not all citizens are aware that the priests of the moscow patrol kate are being exchanged 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, but what it's that was china, not at the cranium body. my bad. we've seen the wes regularly bomb at the mouth of our gay rights gender writes, well, what about religious rights?

does that not mean anything any more or only when it comes to ukraine, but it's all falling on the west death ears as no one is making a big deal out of priest. 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. go to him 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. whoa to you, be afraid. he a lot of reaction in this next story that b, b. c has been slow with the tongue of government funded media by twitter. it's

provoked an angry response from the british broadcaster which rejects their claim, saying it's the tax peers on not parliament that supplying the cash were speaking to twitter to resolve this issue as soon as possible. the bbc is and always has been independent, were funded by the british public through the license fee. on the bbc is funded by the court license fee, a compulsory charge for each high. so l'm wanting to a $159.00 pounds annually. that amount is set by the state and the funds 1st, find their way into government accounts. and then to the broadcaster, many users took the twitter to give their not 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 if absolutely. and evidently is state funded, and i hope elan, 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 de facto household poll tax has been at the bank going on for some time. now this just to point out that bbc's made some other headlines recently to one of them relating to tax irregularities that the indian government has accused the broadcaster of their offices were subsequently search by tax officials. the channel had earlier released a documentary about indian prime minister and a rendered moody that was banned in india with new deli calling it a propaganda apiece. the speaker of india's ruling party previously expanded on the situation with arte, the bbc, i've been doing a consistent violation of times or pricing. it has been in, in,

in a sense it's been a good call in the office and i'm sitting. it is so cool inc. financial a compliance with taxes in this country. document fee, which is based on $2.00 orders based on one side. it convenient, no boss. all the financial in the signing office or in the next or saying that it is getting to some document g. well, we got opinion on the story from journalists. martin jay, who is of the few public opinion about the b. b. c won't be greatly affected by twitters decision, as it's already being damaged by accusations of so named walk bias and particularly of the recent scandals, will never reach such a low point. another more and more people are asking why they have to pay the fee a tool. many people at best are asking for the business 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 was 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 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 to people like, who do they purchase johnson and then become the chief executive officer or the, or the secretary general, the bbc. 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 then it's murky connection with government.

so just say that this is going to affect public opinion, nothing public opinion is really too low. presently, i don't think it has that much impact stop using the dollar to curve western dominance. that's the message from a top or really an official. as he welcomed a russian delegation to, to run on sunday the path initiated to reduce the influence of the dollar in region and the national transactions, which many congress had joining with minimize western dominance over the world. economy to run the call comes as russia under round agree to expand economic cooperation and agencies, the ruble unreal form, which many current actually to go to are the working together. so you almost sanction washer was sanction graduates and, and try no thanks to 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 be on that. and

they don't need actually the us all that to work with each other so that it could be sanctioned. or it could be limited by or controlled by state law, perhaps related after a decade of negative interest rates and growth store because of the reaction to the pandemic. could the ukraine conflict be the issue that tips the global economy into the next great banking crisis? well, that is discussed with european economist, done the elect, currently in the latest going underground. the fall in fee will be shown throughout the day here on rti. we've had a decade of negative negative interest rates that has obliterated the balance sheet of banks and it has created an enormous bubble that goes from sovereign bonds to crypto currencies. and what's happening right now is the destruction of capital, of so many of those investments or loans that were made with the perception of

a valuation or a perception of a risk. and that certainly it was. ready profoundly optimistic now. who is it that owns ukraine? these are humble, evil, sums of money going in to prop up that economy. i don't see that any of the outcomes that we read in the press seem to be for the ones that will probably end up happening now. but it's certainly going to be the reconstruction, the entire reconstruction of the country. and that i won't say that the m f is going to own it. but certainly without the i m. s. i don't see it happen. ah french president, money all mccall has went to europe of becoming a vassal of super powers such as china, the u. s. however, calls for continental autonomy and not getting involved in conflict. house is not

brussels from tilling the american policy line in ukraine. here's the take of paris based art contributor ritual marcy. 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 warm veal 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 as it is now, interest took to the right across on taiwan. no, that was the would be to think that we, europeans must be comfortable on this topic and take al q from the agenda and the chinese overreaction. 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 good, good cat, france. other nato built a relationship with moscow and kicked the americans out of france when they wanted to stick around. and definitely after the 2nd world war, like they have in germany, it's just do that. and i called didn't have that lesson at top of mind prior to the ukraine conflict popping off. you 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 buy 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 mckelvey lately begged us lawmakers to recognise, during his visit to washington last december, surfaces of young him on it. and what has happened in written months is a challenge for us, because we're starting to how differences and annotations 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 that goes in particular, the inflation reduction act on the chips act. i chose that will split the west, now 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 air bus, whose chinese production is also now set to dabble with

a 2nd assembly line in change in that also who's airbus ahead of it's 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 u. s. 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. okay, something else we're keeping a close eye on to lay late night peace talks on sunday, rolled into monday morning, us delegations from saudi arabia and oman met with hootie rebels in yemen. now it comes on the heels of a reconciliation between long time rivals, saudi and a run. in a deal brokered by china, the conflict in yemen has been raging for

a decade with saudi lead forces, leading a fight against the hootie group, which is supported by children. early report say the talks are focused on a ceasefire and an end to the earth london. c. blockade of the country with plans also mooted to rebuild the war torn country steps of mediation had already been underway with a recent prisoner swap conducted be tween the sides now the war wrapped it in 2014 . when an uprising by hootie rebels topple the government, which then escalated into a broader conflict between us, saudi led coalition. while china is diplomatic efforts which sought saudi arabia and around, mister ties have boosted hope. so the last thing, resolution to the conflict in the, in more than 23000000 people are estimated to need immediate humanitarian

assistance. local journalist use of murray has more now 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 force to implement western policy in the entire region. 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 on a precipice where they are forced to jump off the ship of western colonialism, promising signs, we'll see how about develop. so if you'd like to delve deeper into any of those stories, make your way to r t dot com. it's got you covered all which content lively discussion is to be found there for a. ringback to what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on a very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah
