promote a fair reform of the mechanisms of global governance institutions. we will work closely together at the un within the framework of the security council, where brazil is currently a non permanent member. we have reaffirmed today our support for brazil's bid to obtain permanent membership at the security council, just as we support india's bit. and in this regard, we also support the need to satisfy the interests of the african continent. was the last, the 1st off on psychological office visits to latin america, which will also take him to venezuela in nicaragua. and cuba. moscow has told diplomat says the toys key goal is to strength and mutually beneficial cooperation between countries and politics. trade, the economy and education. anti correspondence sevien sender reports from brazil, this magenta, they would search and we are sending out to tamara. she palace, which is home to brasilia and pouring the relationships all face. it is the 1st solve of a large journey of the russian foreign minister, sergey lovegrove,

through a latin american countries. and it's already has been quite a journey because we have to admit that it took us almost 24 hours to get here from moscow because of their flights restrictions in the european countries. here in the capital of brazil, the russian foreign minister has had a series of meetings. for example, he, i met so with his counterpart, ah, modo, ve ada. of course, they talked about their relationships between the 2 countries, about the economic situation about this strategic corporations. and brazil was so once again, happy to hear that russia is in favor for it's becoming a permanent, a un security council member. and of course they talked about their situation in ukraine. you know, they, it was so much as brazil is ready to participate in the peaceful resolution of the ukraine conflict recall and the message of brazilian president lulu the silva. we

support the creation of a friendly group in order to facilitate negotiations between russia and ukraine. i also repeat opposition on the necessity overseas fire, the respect for humanitarian law and the stablish spent of a long term piece. the context here is really important because they're a brazilian president himself has had just a long i international, a trip where in numerous occasions he spoke about the situation in ukraine, brazil isa, against, for example, against all for you know, right lateral sanctions against russia. also, they are a game so of helping ukraine st being more military aid. they are in favor, by the way of their beast talks at the actually wants of they want to russia, answer ukraine to talk about of a piece here in brazil in our capital circular growth is also meeting the brazilian

president. so you can imagine on they are talking about their situation in ukraine and as you know, and their next stop to morrow are, will be when, as well out where the russian foreign minister sir gala broke, where half an opportunity to speak not only whiskey is when as well and counterpart of the foreign minister, but also with the president and nicholas muddled on a new chapter for the middle east. that's the message from toronto, washington, with a wrong stating that will be no place for us to unilaterally in the region as new diplomatic ties of foods. auto contributes, a use of july, he brings as the bees house. well, today i attended the weekly press are held by the iranian foreign ministry spokesperson nasir cannady, where he talked about a range of issues. but perhaps the main focus was again on the iranian saudi resumption of diplomatic ties. or he hailed this new move in rapprochement between

to one and resolve as a major step towards d escalation in the region. he said that a new chapter is unfolding in that region war. there will be no place for the u. s . a unilateral policy, and instead a new multi polar world system is taken for the united states is losing its foothold in the region. and many and more and more countries are turning away from the united states on even we see that countries such as france is starting to think that it would be better if they remain independent from the united states. and we see that countries like brazil, columbia are jumping on the bandwagon are joining the new unified france formed by russia, iran and china in ditching the u. s. dollar. and instead using their own national currencies in their economic transactions. so this is why nasr cannon, he said there's not going to be any place for the us and for the washington or

unilateral policy any more. what's interesting is the role played by china in this regard. as you know, it was 1st, china, which abroad the 2 sides together, sat and talked and decided to bury the hatchet after 7 years of frosty relations between to run and re off the 2 sides are attempting to reopen their embassies before the arrival of b. as la mc hat season do in the next 2 months. so these developments are very significant and have positive impacts on the regional developments. and on the regional crises, we see, we know that iran and saudi arabia used to be arch rivals. look at the, you have any war for example, lead you have any war has been widely viewed as a proxy war between your want and saudi arabia. and we see that this long standing war, which has been ravaging for 8 years, is nearing its end in line with the prisoner exchange deal reached between saudi arabia and the, i'm sorry, law movement today,

100 for any prisoners of went back home and all of these practical steps are being taken in that direction to and the crisis and the war in the region and witness a region free of 4 and 3 of conflicts. and what's interesting is that all of these developments are being marked inside the region by the regional countries, and without any interference, by the way, than by the so called the united states helping hand. of course, when it comes the to washington, washington is a beneficiary of the many war. so the united states is reluctant to see that war coming to one end as of the united states money making process. china as a close ally of saudi arabia and a close and effective buyer, other ones oil, and everyone's number one. i cannot make a trade partner has held the 2 sites come together. bury the hatchet after after 7 years of frosty relations. a wrong message of

a new middle east comes as the push for peace and war. tony. yemen continues, as saudi arabia, released more than a 100 prisoners to go back to santa, according to the spokes person for the international committee of the red cross wall. today's exchange is a positive sign. many more families in yemen are still waiting to hear from the loved ones. emotions. i would describe it, overwhelming joy. it has been amazing to witness this beautiful moment. of course, i found many hugging each other friends kissing each other on the forehead. children seeing their budget sometimes for the 1st time and the local here, but mocking tears of joy. it was really beautiful to witness. and that should be sure that when purchased to the cost, they put you money before anything else. it does alleviate civilian suffering. this happened, of course in the 60s,

we had more than 15 flights that were able to, to we need to facilitate to reduce. however, we acknowledge that more families we answer a lot of them don't have news from their loved ones. they don't know if they're detained. he's doing a good health, who, if they're even a life and family also the answers. the civil war in yemen, described. one of the worlds was too much. harry and disaster started in 2014 between who's the rebels and the government. backed by the saudi arabia, lead coalition, according to the un this year alone, more than 20000000. yet many people need humanitarian assistance with over 80 percent of the country lacking access to basic food or basic services for the semester to spokes person for the international committee. of the red cross phase, one of the main problems in the conflict is the lack of media coverage. and for 2 men, for the 1st time in 11 years,

has been underfunded for the international come each of the rest across the way. now, although alteration all over the world are currently underfunded. sure, of course it doesn't. you know, it's a very dangerous cocktail to have humanity in the needs raising and funding decreasing. so we're hoping that the international community doesn't forget about chairman. there is a positive momentum and operation like this one. do send a big message a hope. and jimmy can very leaving to see it's very beautiful moments of happiness in such as your insurance prices. however, you know, you're not making the headlines anymore and shouldn't forget about yemen because even if the conflicts and today they need that filled in, then i chose she, we, we to keep working here together with the parents from the human classes to mingle to. so don,

now we're heavy fighting between the army on the i says power military group now officially declared rebels and ordered to disband. it's the day. according to the un, at least a 180 civilians have been killed with a 10 times that number wounded since saturday. and that the ongoing cale, some sausage has shown military jets, firing missiles, grounds targets, with other of the images, highlighting massive destruction in the vicinity of the country's capital cartoon. the rival military forces attacked each other on saturday with both sides, blaming each other for striking 1st, this exclusive footage from the sudanese capital, so smoke rising over the cities. air pause has claimed the power military has entered the presidential palace circulate online. though the sudanese army says it has all ready we captured last territory from the rebels. the conflict reported the bro count off to a proposal to merge the r s f with the national army as both sides failed to agree

on a timeline for such a move. and these satellites images showed the devastating aftermath of some of the fighting in cartoon which is effected the capitals, apples and railway network, as well as a hospital and the defense ministry headquarters neighboring china has closed his border with sudan with several countries, including russia and egypt. calling for a cease fire, the league of arab states is also urged in immediate end to the fighting and off it is mediation to resolve the crisis. despite the ongoing military violence, washington insists that now is the right time for a transition to civilian rule. in sit down with a fragile situation. there are other actors that may be pushing against that, that progress. but this is a real opportunity to finally carry forward the civilian la transition. and one that we and, and other countries are trying to are to bolster across to sudanese

journalists, a moose of abraham. many thanks for joining us on. the program is good to see you this evening. and now festival, could you tell us about what's happening on the grounds there right now where you are? well that the call like is still considered between the transit, between people so fighting and just fries inside the town and the neighbors. and this is for very something very bad and it's whatever it is and vendors. so considering moving costs and can be cautious inside the street and never homes, this is printed all citizens. nowadays. it's a very bad situation for all people. and so today the immigration start over to the people to live in the states. so we couldn't so under houses, go to states, look for secure, look for one, just like the fact that people, lot of people dies until the end or insider houses because of mass conflicts and clashes and default deaths,

cancer. their house accidentally never went through the street. people that in their houses, that's it's a charge. is there any indication of which side is overpowering? the other in the conflict to the moment? can i hear you? is there any indication of which side is isn't winning the conflicts if you like at the moment? well there is, there is, there is no one is way because in general, most of them are are members. and this is from the work under the miller. and this is what been said by the general commander said the are if the want from now true. so it's, it's lose. no one is when it's about 2 people to army. no one is great. and what's your take on timing of the conflict and what exactly triggered is so right now here you, i'd like to ask for your thoughts on the timing of this conflicts and what exactly

triggered is. well, the time for counseling, nobody understood when this is going to be a fault, but already start and those people fighting and all different kind of their gender or to me is downtown east west events, re, status. people are biding all over the big part for fighting conflict. nobody knows . and when they ask them, it doesn't work. nobody knows what comes in. but also them, they go into, you know, somebody wants to stand for negotiate for the child. and that is something we're very risky while are of countries in russia, they're calling for a sci fi, they want peace, and for down the u. s. is saying it's a good time for a transition to civilian rule in the country. what you may call that statements well proposed, this is what happened and before the things this warehouse matter for integration,

artist after the military. the main problem is like the 110 years medicaid and the military 12 years. and they're going to see it at the 10 o'clock. and actually we were so surprised because the stars minded, well, it was unacceptable. and something is like a surprise for all of us. for those people they negotiate. and they are going to agree after we're nowhere. and all media will get there and i was over boeing and take what we discovers become things fall apart. i go for donna, we have some sort of government in way think it's a transition to civilian world, even a possibility. well, the transmission is very important things, it's usual, all people in sit down with seeking to and this is one of the reason why people went on to this phrase vibrant to live, right? for democracy and freedom and for civil government. something is very fortunate to

have the start that was defer the country and it's not me can for every student needs something important, never risky for and we still think for right now, many thanks for speaking to us today, really great to get your insight into the massive sudanese journalist moose of abraham, thank you. moscow on new delhi are working on finding a russia india agreement on mutual investments. that's according to russian trade minister, dennis material theories in india to discuss trade and economic ties between the states. we have vac and measures for friendly states, particularly for india. we are working fine in russia, india agreement on support and protecting mutual investments. i have no doubt that these trade preferences will be useful for russian and indian business. now, apply national currencies in neutral payments, and currencies of friendly states may minimize costs and currency risks. meanwhile,

india continues to be one of the main russian oil importers with china and india, accounting for 91 percent of russians. crude oil exports in march. despite the g $7.00 price cap, india has been buying large amounts of discounted russian crude since february last year, with almost $1500000.00 barrels per day imported in march. with the indian finance minister saying it would continue importing russian oil even over the price cap. so even if it reaches the cap, you probably have to keep importing it. yes, because otherwise i'll end up paying far more than what i can afford. well, ever since new delhi started buying discounted russian wood from moscow, western countries have had a real problem. what's in countries, the government and their press 5 to fight a we tweak in the book to disobeyed in doubt from buying or from russia.

correct? more lecture shows progressions, but india is not to come to any of those. india has been independent foreign policy, which india has followed. let me break it down to reason why india would never follow either the price gap or stop buying discount ross. you know, when one india simply cannot afford to do that. you can what is happening in several countries in europe and in the u. k. in germany can india for to do that to it's 1400000000 people. know india is busy securing energy for its people. so that really has been a priority for india and tow. why would india do? india has a perfectly healthy relationship with moscow just to lead off a little information here. india started buying discount russian oil ever since. the conflict began from nearly one percent less than one percent. oil imports from

law school in it's in for the sauce gate to over 30 percent. now in fact, india buying more than 1600000 barrels of crude from moscow in a day. in fact, that is more than what india is buying, combined from saudi arabia, iraq. remember those 2 war india and dominant and traditional oil supply of india is going to continue buying oil from moscow. and in fact, it's not just joy. like i mentioned, india wants to in fact and boost surety jake and clea tied that with mall school and in fact the creed minutes through moscow. is your renew deleon for 2 days with it? you're out of business for him. as he met with the indian foreign minister, the s j shanker, who also echoed his sentiments. we believe that in times of global instability,

the world economy requires from all resilient and reliable set of supply chips possibilities i think, are both in, you know, i would say gaps which may have emerged in recent months, but also new areas. and i completely agree that i think to date, payments, logistics certifications, these are really be the key areas anom lynch, that it's possible not to boosting tree ties between the deli and moscow baton. the primary, even your also is to do more and more trade in local currency that out of both, both the countries really going big on a cooperation there despite western sanctions the local council in ukraine's city of to know paul has

a will to ban the orthodox church from using a plot of land on which a provenance cathedral is located. many ukrainian orthodox churches have faced severe pressure since the end of last year. and november 2022 ukraine security service is rated the country's main orthodox shrine, the chest glover, or suspected connections with russia, accusing them of provocations against the government. since then, many orthodox churches around ukraine, of faith harassments by ukrainian authorities with priests being abused and forcefully removed. ukrainian and presidential adviser mc health. julia has court for the purge pro and post code for the purge. to have pro russians a key as to achieve his goal. what's on that or do you know the ukranian orthodox church doesn't want dialogues. it wants to remain as an elemental thrush and domestic influence on the ukrainian state. they want the ukrainian stay to have no control over what they do. they want the ukranian state to be weak estate,

which they will constantly provoke and undermine from within. and we have a unique opportunity today where it was possible to do this very quickly and painlessly, the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war. then many of the pro russians could have been physically perched today. it's a little bit more complicated, but it's still just a little bit complicated. it doesn't mean it's impossible, but let's now cross line to water and we'll correspond and thomas roper to discuss this further many thanks for joining us on the program. how was your take on the cal padaya is recent statement that many pro russians could have been physically purged at the start of the war, and that this is still possible. anybody surprised her was following the ukrainian use. it's not the 1st official statement from people around so lensky and his presidential administration, calling to kill pro russians or russians, or ethical russians, and ukraine. call them as you like. um. so this is nothing new is just an additional one. we had several of these statements and official announcement last

years already. and what do you think the ukrainian presidential advisor is able to make such comments freely with little or no reaction from the west? but that's exactly why. as i said, we had this last year when the in summer they got back some territory in africa and share some of the storage at that time. also, presidential advisor openly said that they would kill that people have no rights if they were pro russian. that he was talking about teachers and so on. so, so that it is not, you know, what we have is that the west, the media ignores this kind of thing. and that's why they absolutely free to talk like this. and the key of quite openly how to get this month's metropolitan. pavel was placed on the house, arrest the charges of inciting into religious discord, and justifying russian aggression and against the ukraine. how do such hostile

actions against representatives of the faith of a large section of ukrainian population correlate with calls for unity? there is no unity in ukraine since the my dumb and there is the opposite thing of unity. the government wants to force the people in ukraine to be you criticized. so whether they are my notice from from hungary, romania, poland, or the big biggest minority russians, they are forced to leave their let said traditions and to turn into to become ukrainians. this is what happens or we have equal promised by the way, with the catholic church of churches in western ukraine. but with the western media prefer not to talk about this. so again, it is not new. the problem is really that the western media on come on that stuff. why it is such a priority for the ukrainian government to to bond ukrainian orthodox churches across the country. well,

this is the one end about money because of the tricia. so where switch and on the other hand it's power they, they want to control the church that that's why they artificially open this ukrainian or the church, which is not part of the, of the right of the russian or the church. and they tried by force are ordered already already, and the pro single, they tried to force the russian of the church to step back. and this is, they're just doing this more open, you know, but there's the process which is going on for us already. and what we see, by the way, is that the people believing and going to touch base to stay with the old so called all church. and that didn't. and massively changed to the new founded church, which pro shanker, founded some years ago. more thought of consequences. do you think the actions of the villains, key government against the orthodox church have full ukraine and beyond? it is another action to divide ukraine inside the country. let's say,

along the ethical a border. so it is another way to unify the country of the people. it's doing the opposite. we will see what which affected will be because we don't know where, what is the future of the ship creating a state of the moment. but so we have to wait which, which they are doing and for us already is to force the people which are ethnic, or gary and roman, or romanians, polish, or russian. they force them to become ukrainians. how it will end. we will see there's been many reports, the civilians in ukraine been attacked or threatened with death or prison for receiving russian passports, accepting humanitarian aid or working in local administration. while subtractions ignored by the west, continually the west. um, well, geopolitics. ha. the interest of the us is to, we can russia, we have many,

many papers from a thing. tanks and, and the advisors of the american government who said we have to be white ukraine from russia. we have to, we can rush, maintain our world wide dominance, as they call it, we have to, we can russia. so let's, let's look at this point and then we understand, or the other stuff and everything which is against russia is good. and if it's morally yeah, yeah, let's, let's say so horrible that you can report about the west. you will just in, we just don't not hear about the west the media. and that's the way they tried to diminish demoness, russia and, and, well, don't talk about anything, what's, what's happened in ukraine somehow in gwinnett, thanks so much for speaking to us today is always going to get your in finding your take on things ortho. and we'll correspondent thomas, why thank you. thank you. and thank you for joining us. a on asi international as always, plenty most be found on a website r t dot com, and we'll be back the top of that. ah,

ah, ah, hello and welcome to crosstalk. we're all things are considered on peter labelle since you started the military operation and ukraine. we were told the west is in lock step unity. in this case, unity means following orders without question from washington. well, that unity has begun to unravel. new europe in old europe are clearly not marching in sick. ah discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest.
