4:00 am
my show stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, but we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way a breaking news on our t, the japanese prime minister, is evacuated after a loud explosion, and white smoke hits an area where the official with a suspect has been detained, also ahead, the united states needs to stop encouraging more and start talking about peace. it is necessary for the european union to start talking about peace result presidents labs of west urging it to stop adding fuel. so you for a more as the wraps up a visit to china also. oh,
4:01 am
a car drives into a crowd of demonstrators rolling against controversial pension reforms in france, injuring at least 7 people with 21 year. old suspect is cards in the us over an electric leak of classified military document. you'll get how corporate media has steve dealt with the government to hunt down the source. ah, coming to you for moscow, this is our to international with the latest world news updates. i'm carola isabel, it's great to have you with us. we start this hour with breaking news. a loud explosion has been reported in the japanese city of walk a yamma. you're an area we're the nation's prime minister for mucous sheeta was said to speak. the leader has been evacuated from the scene.
4:02 am
oh, in this footage from local media sources you can see white smoke rising after the explosion at the local fishing port. local media say the explosives may have been a smoke grenade, according to local police, a 24 year old suspect has been detained. police also said they found another potential incendiary device after the arrest. neither the prime minister nor any others were harm. he sheeta has since changed a venue and already finished his speech. a number of japanese political party leaders have strongly condemned the attack. but this isn't the 1st disturbing incident involving japanese leadership. i. the attempted assault on cash sheet comes months after the nations former prime minister zinzis ave was shot dead with a home made gun during
4:03 am
a similar speech in july. the perpetrator in that incident said he was quote, this satisfied with the minister's policy to discuss this further less cross live with ross, find gold and asia, political risk analysts joining us from type a welcome ross. what do you think could be the suspects motive for the attempted political attack? in this case, it's difficult to say this early point of time. it could be with regard to a specific policy of the current government in japan. it could be something of a more personal nature, as we saw with the tragic assassination of former prime minister operations last summer. where it seems that the scene was motivated by ob, a support for an organization that his mother had been involved in cause the financial loss for their families. and that was more in the, in the nature of a personal dispute. but again, it,
4:04 am
it could be something policy related as well. what are the likelihood of having such a tux back to back? i mean, it's only been 9 months. is it's reflective of some sort of pattern. do you think that we're seeing toward japanese leadership? and he, the interesting thing like that is there is a history of political assassination in japan going back many, many decades. although that has become more rare in recent years and, and violent crime is very, very where, where the use of weapons in japan guns even for st climbing this is very rare. but again, it's, it's not on a, for in a way it also reflects poorly, and this is something that was a topic of significant discussion domestic lee in japan after the assassination of prime minister, former prime minister. i bet it really does reflect poorly on the police's ability to provide production to the public events as well as for intelligence gathering.
4:05 am
and, you know, we look at other countries though, that is a topic of great discussion, right? we're always here and from the united states, for example, whether it's best to get in groups on the left or the right and both sides in point 15 or say you're going too far and you're interfering in what's normal kind of public discussion discourse or even arguments over policy issues, but again, it does, your pan police and intelligence agencies do a whole lot of room for improvement in the work that they do. now a lot of people are mentioning the timing of the incident because it happened right before a g 7 meeting in japan. do you think there's anything to that? again it's, it's too hard to try. it also occurred simultaneous to campaigning for a local actions as well as the bi election or the lower house japan parliament. and similarly went way not asian. joe was just fascinated, he was campaigning for, for candidates in the upper house. oh, actually, so it's very possible this could be completely unrelated to
4:06 am
a g 7 meeting that's taking place in japan and might just be motivated by either a dispute or disagreement over local project or domestic japanese policy issues or something personal. do you think they'll be any security concerns raised from all of us by the way? well again, a, to the extent that the police are intelligence agencies in japan are not doing a sufficient job, but that's intelligence gallery are providing v i. p protection to japanese or foreign dignitaries. there's going to be a lot of finger pointing go be some arguments about that. and then ultimately they probably will significantly increase the amount of a personnel who are on site as well as prevent inspections. i think that that is something we will see going forward in japan, but this also shows you coming so soon after the assassination of ave that even though they've been having that conversation, the actual improvements that they need to make are really taking
4:07 am
a long time to implement ross, find gold, asia pacific political risk analysts joining us from type a, thank you. thank you. on the west needs to stop encouraging the war and ukraine, brazil's president says, as he concludes his visit to china, but all to phase important. now another important country is the united states. that is, the united states needs to stop encouraging war and start talking about peace. it is necessary for the european union to start talking about peaceful re fi. during the visit, brazil's president, also called for moving away from trade and dollars, that's as just ahead of the trip that you completed the 1st transaction in your on the chinese president stated that bolstering ties with brazil is a diplomatic priority for his country. at the top level, meeting the side sign several agreements and a change of use on international issues. brazil's top officials saved their country, is free to choose its trade partners law from you and do this here. but we must
4:08 am
overcome the previous stage of isolation from other states. the country cannot be isolated from others. brazil has the size to be a partner with big economic blocks and other countries and bilateral agreements. so it makes no sense to choose to be closer to one country in order to be further from another. shin i am, our china is brazil's biggest commercial partner in terms of the direct flow for an investment. relationship speaks for itself and say what in a symbolic and political point of view, the state visits speaks for itself as well. we spoke to people in the streets of brazil who shared their views on us global hegemony. it is, it helps survive is important not to leave only the dollar as a paradigm it's, i think there is a need to diversify and also understand other mechanisms other ways of establishing a common currency. china is brazil's best trading partner. they have a lot of technology,
4:09 am
a lot of knowledge that could be used in brazil and help us to develop i think you think it is important for countries to use currencies other than a dollar. because if we have a problem and the stock market crashes, it's a global problem. if we have commercial transactions taking place in other currencies, we are also avoiding possible future problems. who icici, who you can clearly see that the united states metals a lot in international relations, especially in the middle east and in other countries affairs that have nothing to do with their politics. i think they just try to benefit. they don't care much about the rest of the world. with that, he thought that the, the, the, the laurie's ation process is risky, but everything is moving towards it. after the 2nd world war, they nodded. states accounted for more than 50 percent of the world's g. d p, and now it produces no more than 20 in general. the monopoly of the dollar in international trade is incomprehensible and inexplicable. i think that brazilian president little is right. our trade turnover with china is very large. last year
4:10 am
it amounted to about $150000000000.00. brazil exported $90000000000.00 and imports at 60, which is very profitable for us. in addition, we have the briggs platform, which works very well. our representative do more of stuff, the former president of brazil will be in the breaks bank in beijing. i think that our course is the right one. first of all for investments, and most importantly, why are there no our currencies? why trade in a foreign currency when we can trade in our own, we can decide for ourselves what is best for us and what is beneficial? lula is absolutely right. meanwhile, china's commerce minister slammed us sanctions against chinese companies for elected ties to russia, dismissing washington steps as groundless and harmful to business. the u. s. sanctions have no international legal basis and i know sanctioned by the un security council. a typical example of unilateral sanctions and the application of
4:11 am
extra territorial jurisdiction which seriously harm the legitimate rights and interests of businesses and effect the security instability of global supply chains . china strongly opposes them and the share of the chinese currency in world markets has doubled over the past year. last february, the u on accounted for less than 2 percent of global trade. since then, the chinese currency has reached 4.5 percent with a yard. now breathing down the euro's neck, the dollar share is also in decline. as more and more traders turn to its chinese rival. my colleague peters thought was earlier joined by a panel of experts who weighed in on the global shift away from the u. s. dollar and in favor of rising multi polarity. we all seen a certain level of de dollarization. now, i'm practically speaking trading in these current currencies of developing nations
4:12 am
. they stable enough to, does it affect the social stability when it comes to tre between so there is not enough. an issue today is to we pay to the dollar or how to work. now that the, the primary issue for especially smaller countries is do they have the, the, the fiscal, the monetary stability in terms not being able to use their currency on a global basis. the global economies growing and countries such as china, countries such as india, continue to have a larger space in the commercial landscape. but i think you also need to think, why is all of this happening? and in part, it's because of us sanctions policy. when you a sanction policy is focused on a particular country, then it's, it gets less attention and countries are less worry about it. but with the globalization of u. s. financial sanctions, that's driven
4:13 am
a lot of bits. and so when you have prime minister modi president, she president putin, president lula, they're all looking at ok, how do we insulate ourselves from whoever's in the white house? what benefits are their full, full, full members of doing this? and we've seen a gradual move away from the dollar when it comes to trade. yeah, this is very significant. peter. the dollar supremacy has done so much damage to south america. and so press countries the world over. we see the sensor of economic gravity in a political gravity in diplomatic gravity, shifting to the east, to shanghai, to beijing. to moscow. this comes is great news to all the exploited under developed countries of the world were for so long been trapped into this. i historical dependency, not just on the dollar, but on us market. we see a dozens and dozens of countries across south america in the middle east,
4:14 am
lining up to join bricks. what's the main benefit of the countries in bricks in trade, in with their own countries? what's of control? does this give them that the, the greenback doesn't it is quite significant. a fair country. so stop trading in their own pattern. susan, dead on national appearances, then definitely that dependency on dollar or for that matter in time starting found out in euro would come down drastically as such. and i think that would actually be setting the platform for multilateral wanted to order the across people globe as such. we have been trading with germany now with the indian currency and there is no longer dependency on dollar such. so i think of these are really significant moves. i saw champions, i'll grow campbells, and definitely breaks. there's a very powerful automation. it's a powerful organization, india, china and russia are their part and parcel of breaks together with gracie less less
4:15 am
south africa. and i do understand that in the future bricks is going to expand parker as such. so this, so he started dependency on dollars as well as on your all and in styling pound will be diminishing gradually with every passing days. and i think very soon we will see a couple of new currencies emerging as international standards are in terms of dollars in terms of timing on their, such already in terms of europe. and in that i do see the indian rupee emerging as a alternative to international currencies. at the global level, a rise of the national currency is yet another sign of the end of china, so called century of humiliation when it suffer from western interferes and its consequences. and now beijing is a force to be reckoned with. more on this and other breaking stories join us at r t dot com and in boulder off france,
4:16 am
a car has driven into a crowd of demonstrators rawling against controversial pension reforms, injuring at least 7 people. oh. 7 what it shows, a car driving into the riley knocking several people off their feet. 2 of the 7 injured have been hospitalized. according to preliminary data, the driver lost control. he as well as his 3 passengers were detained. a similar incident occurred just the day before during a similar protest in paris. on friday, police use tear gas and baton against protesters marching through the capital torching top trash bins. in the city of friend, demonstrators also started fires engulfing the entrance of a police station. as well as the wilful monastery protest continue throughout the
4:17 am
night as citizens expressed their frustration over the bill being pushed through parliament without a vote. ah . c ah, the french president signed the bill to day, claiming that the reforms are essential to prevent the country's pension system from collapsing, which is why the government says it had to use special constitutional power to force through the changes without a vote last month. nationwide demonstrations opposing the reforms. i've been ongoing since january and according to trade unions, they will continue to rally a booth for me,
4:18 am
today's the ultimate slap in the face of decisions that are autocratic decisions that no longer reflected all the democracy that is supposed to be in france. today, we will continue protesting in the streets if nobody was helping for any good form the counsels ruling, we all knew that they would decide this will, the movement will go on up, but we won't give up. never give out what will go. they don't know what's coming for then we will go until the very end. if we have to block the country, we will in the usa 21 year old suspect allegedly behind the leak of classified intelligence documents has been charged with unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of national defense information. the case has prompted the government to double down on surveillance that the mainstream media is now demanding even more censorship from the pentagon to supposedly prevents such leaks in the future. what technologies is the pentagon applying right now to both spot
4:19 am
leaked documents on line and track potential indicators of leaking type practices? can you say whether duty has anyone looking at the chat rooms on discord of what is your message to anyone who might be thinking of leaking these kind of documents in the future? what took so long for d o. d, in the intelligence community to, to locate these documents, are there less people who have access to this type of information today than there were a week ago? meanwhile, it's been reveal that the u. s. mainstream media had identified the suspect even before the f b. i could find him artes kayla mop and investigates just how deeply some corporate outlets are embed with the spooks in washington. what particularly interesting is that the tracking down of this accused leeker was done by 2 journals. 2 journalist outfits. one describes itself as a group of independent journalists. however, its connections to american intelligence are quite well known at this point. and
4:20 am
the other is the new york times, which is one of the main voices of the american establishment. and we have 2 entities that described themselves as journalists, as the press, basically bragging, very proud about having worked with the f, b i to hunt down a leeker years. what's been said belin kits? eric taller worked with the new york times stone cover, a trial of digital evidence that appears to identify jack dick shira. a 21 year old air national guardsman as the leader of an online game chat group, where u. s. intelligence documents leaked now belling, cat in particular, likes to present itself is very independent investigative cutting edge. but they work hand in hand with law enforcement to track down the identity of an individual who may classified documents of vailable to the public and put them on the internet . and there's been quite a reaction to that on social media. well don,
4:21 am
for working with the fast to ensure whistleblowers are arrested great walk in the name of st. celeste investigative journalism. it's astonishingly embarrassing on the part of the new york times special that instead of reporting relevant leaks, they do the work of a fashion secured to state to find the league, or instead disgusting. there was a time when the new york times went to court to argue they had the right to publish leak government documents. now they're helping the government track down leakers. if you see a leak in the new york times, it was planted by the government. we have a situation where over a 100 documents of classified information related to the american government and its relationship with the conflict in ukraine have flooded the media. now the individual who's been charged for this is a 21 year old member of the air national guard of massachusetts. he apparently is
4:22 am
reported to have wanted to impress his friends on a discord server on the internet. so he made these documents available. questions raised about why that's a low level member of the military would have access to. ready information, but regardless, he has been arrested now mainstream media as played up the politics and the views of the young man describing him as racist pro gun christian, anti war, etc. almost as if there portraying him as an insurrection is going to link him to donald trump, his supporters and the january 6th, that mainstream media has painted quite a picture and characterized this individual as being associated with a larger meal. you and us politics. here's what they've said, we do have a domestic extremism problem in america. one of the greatest national security threats facing our country comes from with it within sometime individuals that have these kind of personality defects get through and unfortunately cause the problem.
4:23 am
and he had some extreme views about some he thought the u. s. government was engaging conspiracy. the washington post, as you know, reviewed video of the suspect, yelling racial and anti semitic slurs. and one thing that is clear is u. s. officials are indicating they will be increasing the surveillance of us citizens and their internet activities when it comes to this kind of thing in order to ensure the classified documents are not leaked in the future. some western media outlets. i'm now trying to play the russia boogeyman cards, citing us officials who say moscow is likely behind the allegedly that's this by russia. having said the release documents are highly dubious and could be part of a disinformation campaign. the unverified papers of also pointed at claims of divisions within the russian establishment over ukraine or mercy. i analysts, larry johnson, says the leakage is likely to be intentional. given that the published documents focus mainly on ukraine and russia. l. a 21 year old enlisted man can
4:24 am
come across such a document is beyond me, they're, they're really trying to portray him as a trump support. they gave every negative description about him except they didn't find him worried or read mag. other than that, he took all the boxes, pro, gun religious extremists, christian, or anti said by races. all you know, loves god. so it's just, you know, it was nonsense. this was targeted, controlled release of intelligence. if he was just picking up random pieces of intelligence and putting them out, yes, i could, i could be persuaded just doing it to impresses gamer buddies. but the, what it was leaked is very specific about ukraine and russia. and showing specifically that ukraine is losing the war and as well as highlighting the deficiencies on the part nato. when you know, nighted stakes,
4:25 am
i don't think that's an accident. the thing is too pretty. that's too good to be true. now to some disturbing news from the russian republic of dawn, yet or ukrainian shelling has left for people dead and 10 more wounded, including a child, according to local officials. the deadly attack targeted the city of yes, seen a lot. they, us ukrainian nationalist shelf residential areas with nato supplied $155.00 millimeter artillery rounds. most of the wounded civilians are said to be in critical condition while in the disputed city of audio moscow also known as bach moot. a powerful barrage of russian artillery fire has struck he of positions. the wagner group says it has targeted one of the last remaining ukrainian strongholds inside the city. with a massive plumas smoke and debris of seen rising in the air for many months are to
