6:04 am
the the attempted assault on cuz shita comes months after the nations former prime minister then do all day was shot dead with a home made gun during a similar speech in july. the perpetrator in that incident said he was quote, dissatisfied with the minister's policy asia, political risk analysts, ross wine gold says that the recent attack could be related to the minister's policies. 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 fascination of former prime minister observations. so there is a history of political assassination in japan going back many, many decades. although that has become more rare. it really does reflect poorly on
6:05 am
the police's ability to provide production to the public events as well as for intelligence gathering. and, you know, we look at other countries though, that is a topic of brain discussion, right? we're always here from the united states, for example, whether it's investigating groups on the left or the rights and both sides, them pointing or say you're growing 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, it does indicate that japan police and intelligence agencies do a whole lot of room for improvement in the work that they do. the wife needs to stop encouraging the war and ukraine, brazil's president says, as he concludes his visit to china, going all to phase important. now, another important country is the united states. that is, 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 refer during the
6:06 am
visit result president also called for moving away from trade in dollars. that's us just ahead of the trip the to completed their 1st transaction in your on the chinese president stated that bolstering ties with brazil is the diplomatic priority for his country. at the top level, meeting the side sign several agreements and exchange views on international issues . brazil's top official save their country is free to choose its trade partners. lo, i'm you. this is, but we must 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 bod. now in terms of the direct flow of foreign investment, but our relationship speaks for itself and to day in
6:07 am
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 a lot is important not to leave only the dollar as a paradigm. so i think there is a need to diversify and also understand other mechanisms, other ways of establishing a common currency. china as brazil's best trading partner. they have a lot of technology, 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 the dollar. because if we have a problem in 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. washer key, 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
6:08 am
about the rest of the world, but they thought that the de lori's ation process is risky, but everything is moving towards it. after the 2nd world war, they're not, it 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 traits run over with china. he's very large. last year, 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 bricks platform, which works very well. our representative deal morose if the former president of brazil will be in the break bank in beijing. i think that our course is the right one. first of all for investment, and most importantly, why are there no r 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?
6:09 am
lula is absolutely right. meanwhile, china's commerce minister slammed us sanctions against chinese companies for a legit ties to russia. dismissing washington steps as groundless and harmful to business the us sanctions have no international legal basis and not sanctioned by the un security council. a typical example of unilateral sanctions and the application of extra the rhetorical 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 and 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 the you are now breathing down
6:10 am
the years next. the dollar share is also in decline. as more and more traders turn to its chinese rival. my colleague peter scott, was earlier joined by a panel of experts who waited on the global shift away from the us dollar and in favor of rising multiple arity. we are seen as a certain level of de dollarization. now, practically speaking, trading in these current currencies of developing nations, they stable enough to affect the social stability when it comes to trade. between the show though, is that not an issue today is that we picked the dollar or how would it work? now that the, the primary issue for especially smaller countries is do they have the, the fiscal, the monetary stability in terms of being able to use their currency on a global basis. the global economy is growing, and countries such as china, countries such as india, continue to have
6:11 am
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 a less worry about it. but with the globalization of u. s. financial sanctions, that's driven 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? the benefits are their full full full members of doing this. and now we've seen a gradual move away from the dollar when it comes to trade. yeah, this is very significant. peter, the dollars supremacy has done so much damage to south america into a press countries, the world over. we see the sensor of economic gravity in
6:12 am
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, lining up to join bricks. what are the main benefits of the countries in breaks in trade in with their own countries? will self control? does it give them that the, the greenback doesn't it is quite significant for countries stop trading in their own patterns based on national fat. and then definitely that dependency on dollar or for that matter in starting found or the euros would come down drastically as thoughts. and i think best it would actually be
6:13 am
a platform for multilateral wanted to order the across people globally. but we have been trading germany now with the indian currency and there is no longer dependency on dollars such. so i think these are very significant moves that can be felt gram come moves and definitely breaks. those are very powerful automation. it's barbara and i base in india, china and russia are the part and parcel are bricks together with the less well as south africa. and i do understand that the future bricks is going to expand far as such. so this has started dependency on dollar as well as on utah, and in dialing, pound will be diminishing gradually with every passing date. and i think very soon we will see a couple of new currencies emerging as the international standouts in thousands of dollars in terms of sterling found their thoughts on some stuff. and in that i do see the indian ruby emerging as alternative to international currency at the global
6:14 am
level. a rise in the national currency is yet another sign of the end of china's so called century of humiliation when it suffer from western interference and its consequences. but now beijing is the force to be reckoned web for more on this and other breaking stories. join us at r t dot com. western sanctions have become a sort of joke. they band themselves for much needed affordable resources. that's what energy expert enough, i'll hodges discusses in the latest episode of option returns these going underground. you can watch the full version here on our teeth throughout the day. but for now, here's a sneak peak. russian guys was pipe. was way cheaper. was long term contracts. why did the u. s. l n g is way more expensive and way
6:15 am
more dangerous. and essentially, when it comes to energy security, simply because it, as we've seen with the fire at the free port. and we end up with some problems, technical problems and will wind up with hurricane in the gulf of mexico, where europe is going to get the gas from because some of its been replaced. i mean this, that there are sanctions. no, this is, this is the problem. the issue here is this. all we did, and this is again, one of the major results of the conflict is we have changes in the direction of trade in energy sources, mainly oil and gas and coal. and it's a musical chairs heat, that's what the sanctions did. as soon as you can share we, we diverted the russian gas to asia. we send the american gas europe, we diverted the oil from europe to asia and the middle east and africa. and then
6:16 am
the middle east and africa start sending oil to europe. the other issue is that because the sanctions really never worked historically and they don't work. it's becoming sort of a joke that you will ban yourself from the cheap brush and oil. and yeah, and then your to pho, china, takes that she boy, but he fine it, then send you the gasoline a diesel at ward prices. this is just a joke. ah. and in bunkerville, france, the car has driven into a crowd of demonstrators riling against controversial pension reforms, injuring at least 7 people. oh. 7 7 put it shows a car driving into the rally, knocking several people off their feet. 2 of the 7 injured have been hospitalized.
6:17 am
according to preliminary data, the driver lost control. he, as well as the 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, torturing torching trash bins. in the city of ren demonstrators also started fires engulfing the entrance of a police station. as well as a local monastery protest continued through the night as citizens expressed their frustration over the bill being pushed through parliament without a vote. i ah,
6:18 am
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 have been ongoing since january and according to trade unions. they will continue to rally for me, 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 and the streets. nobody was hoping for any good form. the counsels ruling, we all knew that they would decide this. well, the movement will up, we won't give up, never give out little 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 now to some disturbing news from the russian republic of don, yet where ukrainian shelling has left for people dead and 10 more wounded,
6:19 am
including a child, according to local officials. the deadly attack target at the city of yes, c, nova dia, ukrainian nationalists shelled 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 archdale moscow, so 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 seen rising in the air. for many months, archie almost has been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting in the don bass. this all comes amid rising tensions around a purported ukrainian counter push, which has been delayed due to a heavy rainy season. in dawn bass ortiz,
6:20 am
moran gosti, of observes, how the battle field pause has propped up a drone arms race. it has rained ceaselessly for days now turning much of the dome bus, easton ukraine to reese bogs and mulch. the soil is impossible for heavy vehicles and fighting has ground down because of the rain visibility has been reduced. drones can't fly. artillery is swelled. not exactly useless, but much less effective, which also means ukraine's counter offensive is going to have to wait for the right whether west and tags are much heavier than russian tanks. more sensitive to conditions, while it weights nato funnels in more and more weaponry for kiev. this video shows what a believe to be british
6:21 am
a s 90. how it says being transported through ukraine. these especially are a favorite of russian drones. ah ah ah. loitering munitions all cat, me kazi. drones have been a game changer. the specially military grade,
6:22 am
or where the variance prized western armor that ukraine has put so much faith in has become drone fodder. now, kiev is attempting to catch up. on the 1st world war, we now have 2 of them. the 1st one was grounded with an anti drone gun, and the 2nd one was a gift. it was grounded with electronic warfare and handed over to us for analysis . these are the kamikaze drones. ukraine is mass manufacturing made from commercially available parts. they fly up to 95 kilometers an hour to a distance of 7 kilometers. does more than just on food. this one came with its payload detached, quite heavy about a kilogram of explosives. it's relatively cheap because of the poor quality components. $400.00 so so let them do. ukrainian conflict has sparked a drone arms race troops now fear them more than artillery. after all,
6:23 am
a shell can't follow you. a drone can, for i guess d of r t from logan squeezen. the chief prosecutor at the international criminal court is making a killing from nato states they to pursuing an agenda against russia and its president. that's according to the latest revelations, from the grayson's editor in chief max blumenthal. when i looked into how this arrest warrant developed, it wasn't very hard to find on the public record, clear acknowledgement that kareem khan had tied his indictment of vladimir putin and marielle over bill over to a major donors conference in london, co hosted by the british government and the dutch government and the ukrainian government, which has hosted kareem con 4 times for government guided officially curated tours
6:24 am
of ukraine, where he has overlooked ukrainian human rights abuses and atrocities on the battlefield. it was tied to that donors conference where he raised millions of dollars for his office continuing a de luge of western support that began in february 2022. almost the moment when russian forces entered ukraine. according to the report from the grey zone, a recent international conference in london, attended by prosecutor con, raised $4900000.00 for the hague investigations of russia. that event took place only a week after the i. c. c issued an arrest warrant for vladimir putin accusing him of the a legit deportation of children from former parts of eastern ukraine, which moscow has called a legitimate evacuation of civilians. prosecutor, cons accusations against russia are ironic, given his own failure to investigate the deportation of hundreds of thousands of
6:25 am
palestinians from territories occupied by israel. con, has also been criticized for narrowing the scope of the hague probe into u. s. military atrocities in afghanistan, after pressure from washington. this was clearly a political decision. there's really no other way it can be interpreted. it gave the u. s. and their allies, a get out of jail free card. the investigation into easily atrocities is not a priority for the office of the prosecutor. every time the issues raised before con, he never takes position. and there's never been a statement. prosecutor con, however, seems convinced of his own impartiality and claims that his only affinity lies with the rule of law. of course, the prosecutor of the i c. c, does not. whatever affection and regard i may have for my dear friends in ukraine has no special affinity to any particular country. we're not
6:26 am
a party to any hostilities. we have an affinity to legality. the raisins, max blumenthal again says the hague prosecutor, case against russia, is riddled with contradictions with a clear usd agendas showing through the cracks. i c. c, which is based in the hague and created by the west, is essentially meant to be a political tool of the west. and any attempt by grim cons, predecessors to defy the west by investigating its own well documented and heinous atrocities from iraq to afghanistan to the occupied territories of palestine have been met with severe pressure rebukes and western sanctions on the icy prosecutor. so cream con, comes in, facing a crisis of legitimacy and finds that all the sudden the united states loves him. his home country loves him. he is becoming an international star,
6:27 am
unlike his predecessors in the west. and the best thing to do is just let the west off the hook, so he drops the investigation into us torture and atrocities in afghanistan, focusing exclusively on the taliban and isis k. and he essentially stalls or freezes the i. c c's investigation into his railey war crimes in the palestinian occupied territories. giving a get out of jail free card to 2 of the world's worst human rights abusers, while focusing exclusively on the geopolitical foe of nato. and as we splain, this arrest warrant was bought and paid for by nato states, the allies of the u. s. while the u. s. refuses to comply with the rome statute and rejects the i, c c. and back to our breaking news story, we're in sudan reports of gunfire and explosions have come in from across the capital. clashes between the nations, military and rapids, special horses paramilitary,
6:28 am
are the result of an ongoing power struggle. dozens of wounded have been reported by capital health officials. the artist has said that they were attacked by members of the national army. though the sudanese government says it is the recess which attacked a national army base. the . the capitals airport has reportedly been closed as the recess has stated, it has taken full control of it and another airport in the eastern provinces of moreau. the attachments of the earth have also claimed they seized a local air base. in the latter, the national army has denied this information and stated that fighting at the airport and cartoon continues, reports the just all traffic at a car tomb airport has been whole said, and several flights have not been allowed to land. the paramilitary has also
6:29 am
claimed to have taken full control of the presidential palace. this voted shows trucks with paramilitary fighters entering the near city of old daughter man. a threw down based independent analysts says that many saw the escalation coming when western diplomats web sudan about a week ago just to meters from the center of the which is in the area of the south of the capital city. and there is a military form of support for this. we notice that the western diplomats, they live a week ago, or some of them, they claim that a so it was clear for me that
6:30 am
something would happen. and this thing most likely would be planned and not have been by a surprise. and i don't think that they're a big support for forces is stronger than the army. and i don't think that for very simple reason. most of the high rank and the high level of the office of support forces. they are legally from the national army and from the security. and they are loyal to the national army. more than that, of course there be support for she's made mistakes with joining some of the dishes that gave them gave her the support forces promised that the western countries and.
