ah ah, if there is another search of these hidden sanctions that were experienced last spring, they could lead to famine. an rti exclusive, the chairman of the russian union of green exporters reveals the all the official hurdles the west is using to block frayed in the sanction brain of fertilizers, market prayers in russian. no longer allowed in the latest proc done at the revered, picturesque love rec complex, the f ukrainian authority, the orthodox church, another blow this easter week following estimate the tax on monks and believers update. masika walsh with other pbc appeals to switch her to remove the government funded media labels slapped on it's profile,

despite the broadcast for receiving their finances from the state of the british knox. bear with you to know leo, this is the news r r t international. welcome. when sanctions aren't enough, make it on official. the russian union of brain exporters has told r t that former western partners are using a set of silent restrictions to deter a foreign companies from trading russian weight and fertilizers. products excluded from functionalist 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 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 a force to justify their actions as they don't correspond with what they're saying . well, let's go through this. several global corporations have announced their intention to exit russia's grain, an export industry, and stop operations in the country by july, ranging from harvesting to shipping across the siena. that is going to leave a domestic void, but russia's rural him. i grew cultural giant is expected to i have 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. now, rushing brain experts, in fact, they're increasing growing. it's customer base by a 3rd year on year, including an expansion to the middle east and africa. and of the black sea green deal with ukraine is 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 soon, we're done. bustling rebushka, 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 steel.

so israel and turn to it. well, it may be to increased trade partnerships with countries like saudi arabia, algeria, south africa as well. i'm get wheat. ultimately 2 nations most thin need on while rushes military operation in ukraine is being painted as the main cause of global hunger. western traders involved in the black sea grain dealer reaping benefits more than 23000000 tons of food exports have left ports there developed countries they've received nearly half of the poorest nations. on the other hand, they get this figured just 6 percent. one of the reasons why direct partnerships with consumers may be a better option according to moscow. in santa doctors, on like 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 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 unofficial 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 kiev sacred patricia love recite can only be said in the ukrainian language. that's 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 to all that. however, in his easter speech, i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrating easter to day. we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. this is what religious freedom looks like. key of style monks be evicted from a place they've called home for decades. the authorities being cheered on by people with nazi inspired 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 doing 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 silent, 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 rush language in its churches. and even threatening the leadership of the ukrainian orthodox church with jail time, accusing him of inciting religious hatred and justifying ross 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 puzzle has now been placed under house arrest for 2 months here. ready busy 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 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 of syllabus. 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 the rather confusingly, the orthodox church of ukraine. the government decided to terminate a long held leaks agreements with the old church and throw them out of the key of picturesque lava the new arrival of church than silk over the orthodox christmas service in january. and now they're conducting east to services there with even the previous he crane and present bill 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 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 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 develop 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 as the humans after the special military operations 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 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 this year. i'm not all citizens aware that the priests of the moscow patrol kate, i've been exchanged for prisoners of war with great pleasure. and there has been more than one such action. slim, 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. 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, evicted, rated and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive yield, russia,

i guess they don't deserve human rights. good 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 in this next story to day that b, b. c has been slough with the tongue of government funded media by twitter. it provoked an angry response from the british broadcaster which rejects the claim, saying it's the taxpayers and not the state that supplying their cash was speaking to twitter 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. if the

bbc is funded by the quote license fee, a compulsory charge for each high. so the mounting to a $159.00 pounds annually. that amount is set by the state though, and the funds 1st find their way into government coffers and then to the broadcast . many users took the twitter to give their nod of approval to the new label, suggest thing. it's a proper title, bbc whining because twitter correctly applies state funded media designation to its man, a cow if absolutely. and evidently is state funded and i hope you learn must 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 funded 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 saturates the bbc estate funded and the license fee is government mandated and

the defects it household poll tax. the baby see made some other headlines itself recently, one of them relating to tax or regularities that the indian government has accused the broadcaster of their offices were subsequently searched by tax officials. the channel had earlier released that documentary about indian prime minister moran from modi. that was bombed in india with new jelly, calling it a propaganda piece. the speaker of india's ruling party expanded by fan on that situation with arte the be renewing allied ation. while it has been indulging in an authentic union or we could call in the region of profits and i'm putting a link o finance to my go about applying to it actually in this country document which is nice to once. i mean, you know,

to boss of the financial finding or should in the next thing that it is getting to some document g was journalist and editor martin j. say it's public opinion about the b, b. c will be greatly affected by twitters decisions, as it's already been damaged by accusations of bias. some, particularly a number of government willing scandals will never reach such a low point. and other, more and more people are asking why they have to pay the fee a tool. many people at best are asking for the business both to be rechecked 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. she's going to know, 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 the new lavish lifestyle. you know, the sort of thing people like, who do stay with that prosperous 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 as the bbc, because corruption is something that is becoming noted by media more and more about the b, b, c. and it's can then it's 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 or ditch the dollar to create more equitable world going forward. the message from a top are really an official. as he welcomed a russian delegation to taylor on sunday. the path initiated to

reduce the influence of the dollar in region and in national transactions, which many congress had joining will minimize western dominance over the world economy. to ron's call comes as russia under round, they agreed to expand economic cooperation and increased payments in their national currencies. the rouble on gray owl, moscow added it will invest in a round steel and oil production, as well as improved direct banking relations. to run underline the north south trade corridor as a key part of its development to now the plan will link routes for goods from moscow to india through iran, bypassing western nations on their sanctions. when iran has also just announced, it's the host that international event in to round to discuss global monetary relations. and again, d dollarization appears from penn center. the world monetary banking system has been dollar centric for the past $7.00 to $8.00 decades. an important markets,

especially the energy market, have been based on that currency talks are underway with several countries over ditching the u. s. d and bilateral trade independent countries are distancing themselves from the dollar and seeking to di dollar eyes, their economies, to reduce the risk of un sanctions. around and russia are far from the only nations walking at d dollarization path turkey central bank. recently, a non steps to move away from the green back and pushed domestic lenders to increase their usage of the national lira currency. china and malaysia. meanwhile, are weighing a potential asian monetary fund as a country balance to the dollar dominated international monetary fund. and in a move with potentially huge geopolitical economic consequences. saudi arabia said in january, it's open to discussing oil trade in currencies other on the dollar. so why is this all happening? well, the secretary general of the asian mirrors for him, a cooperation grouping between major global cities,

listed 3 major reasons behind the devaluation of the dollar over the past 30 years . and how that's not coming to a head for 1st the, the financial surprises, the 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 for currency, which was out of the hands of the americans and again, the dollars and the 3rd one which i consider that the most important one is the already use up to date from the united nation. putting sanctions on the country in that country over and over again. and actually let's say we can help the country, the sanction countries to go to our working together. so you almost sanction washer

was gradual and, and try no, thanks to the many, many other and these countries realize that the, who the worth with each other, despite the sanctions and there would be no further sanctions be on that. and they don't need actually, the us all that works with each other so that it could be sanction. or it could be limited by or controlled by the state will after a decade of negative interest rates and growth store. because of the reaction to the pandemic cut the ukraine conflict be the issue that tips the global economy into the next rate banking crisis that's discussed today in r t with european economists done the electoral in the latest going underground. we've had a decade of negative negative interest rates that has obliterated balance sheet of

banks and has created an enormous bubble that goes from several bones 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 valuation or perception of a risk. and that certainly was. ready profoundly optimistic now. who is it that owns ukraine? these are humble, evil, sums of money going into pop up that economy. i don't see that any of the, of the outcomes that we read in the press seem to be 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 would say that the i b m. s is going to own it. certainly without the i m. s. i don't see it happening. i write something else to note today,

french president and money will micron has warned europe of becoming a bustle of super powers such as china and the us, however, cold for continental autonomy and not getting involved in conflicts house and apart from towing. the american policy line in ukraine years to take a rti 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 thus overcome with panic belief which as americans follow us, the question 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 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 he managed to miss that lesson earlier since michael claims to be a big admirer of former french president shot the girl who kept france. other nato 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 my prior to the ukraine conflict popping off. you 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. wanted them to mistakenly buying into this idea that it would bring the russian economy to its knees as branch economy minister, viola, 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 your, of, of biden's inflation reduction act, particularly on european industry. as mckelvey lately begged us lawmakers to recognize during his visit to washington last december services of young jamar. if that is what has happened and written months is a challenge for us. because we're starting to how differences organizations 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 shall goes, in particular, the inflation reduction act on the chips act. i chose that will split the west novels 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 double 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. something else potentially significant to tell you about late night peace talks on sunday,

rolled into monday morning as delegations from saudi arabia and oman met with hootie rebels in yemen. it comes on the heels of a reconciliation between long time rivals, saudi under rum. and the deal brokered like china. the conflict in yemen has been raging for the better part of a decade with saudi led forces leading a fight against the who to group, which is supported by tehran. early report say the talks are focused on a ceasefire on an end to the error london. c. blockade of the country with plans also put forward on ways to rebuild the war torn nation steps of mediation by the way, had already been under way with a recent prisoner swap conducted between the sides. the water opted in 2014. when an uprising by who g rebels toppled the government, which they escalated into a broader conflict between the movement and the saudi led coalition. while china is diplomatic efforts which all react until rom restore, ties a boosted hope, silver,

lasting resolution to the conflict in yemen. so i opening figures here more than 23000000 people are estimated to need immediate humanitarian help. and the western agent country, local journalist use of murray has more now on the recent developments, 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 pad 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 no 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. come all of them. well, that is where we leave the news run dollar for now, but stay close. as peter lavelle and gas are standing by for the latest, talk out some fiery discourse, right ahead. this is why the ah, the news

ah needs to come to russian state little narrative. i stayed on the most landscape with within the 55 with we will van in the european union. the kremlin. ca, yep, machine. the state on russia for date and r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with

me. ah . ah, i hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered? i'm peter labelle. western leaves are in the cute state of anxiety in america. there is a state sanction effort to destroy trump and his followers, europe, faces, mass protest and economic dislocation. when it comes to foreign policy, western gemini, hinges on the fate of ukraine. overall, the outlook is bleak. ah.
