[000:00:00;00] a year with india pushes back against roles on greenhouse gas emissions, bringing them neo colonial stand calling the current credit raking system biased and a failure. a everything was said under the orders will set you did my interview more than 90 percent is a lie. obama wagner, group fighter planes. he was blackwell by human rights group. 2. why about the russian military and reports of explosions and gunfire? continue to come from sudan is better recently agreed. c spy between 2 military generals that was set to begin hours ago

with coming to you live from the russian capital versus r t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. india, especially back against environmental agenda as a claims are being dictated to it by western agencies, branding them as neo colonial list policies. there is a danger that the nose and their application will be decided by small click of western agencies. this is a form of new colonialism. we need to push back against it, whether in d 20 or any other platform. so we hun sanjeever san l. then the member or when the else prime minister, i mean the more these economic advisory council basically saying there has an issue here is north, the need of norms, that essentially who is monitoring them?

how are they monetary these norms as well as these are targets? in fact, also seen to the existing western ranking system is flawed, and that it is full of biases as well as failures. he also went on to say that measuring e g or monitoring e g in this particular the sin is extremely problematic. now, what is e as g? it is essentially economic our social go on in south framework, which is used to measure an organisation on the basis of sustainability as well as ethical issues. and this is in fact a really important one for india i'll for it's drawing a business that important underlying here that these frameworks. 5 and these factors that are used to monitor these are all very vested ideas and by should baby a western ideas that the question he saw now is up. yet, the issue is not so much about the need for some norms,

but about who will be monitoring these targets. the existing credit writing ones already have serious biases and failures, allowing the emergence of a new bunch of exclusively western agencies to monitor is g targets is problematic . sano hall, so going on to see and talk about more the gum and saw model or idea, or reaching net 0 by 2070. and that is something that india has spoken about in the past as well. it just reiterated about these ideas in the as environment minister, moving through jagow echoing the same plus the global goal of reaching that 0 by 25th to requires enhanced the scaling of emissions by the developed countries. this will provide space for countries like india to each of the development required for his people, which will provide necessary defense against the books of climate change, environmental degradation and pollution. so according to where it is publicly available,

statistics and data. india does not bad that much run when it comes to carbon emissions. so india johnson smith's about 7 percent of the wool c o 2, we just embed to say for example, u. s. is just half. in fact, china and made saw the maximum c o 2, which is about 29 percent. and european union, by the way, is that sees itself as the crusade or a green analogy. it's on smith's more than india doesn't mind you. it is 3 times less populated as far as india and so on. so really the idea of being that maybe west in agencies need to back off and they need to lead countries like india do what they need to do. former indian foreign secretary con, while sebra explains what's behind the push for green policies on developing countries. basically is the western capital. this wants to control the private sector in these countries,

which of course is going to be the motor of or you can army development in countries like india and dig the government out as much as possible from this very vital area of decision making. like the environment and society, social issues, the world is becoming conscious of the fact that we have to move towards clean energy. but this can't be done unless it's a collective effort and collective effort, especially in terms of technology and finance. america is giving a $1015000000000.00 offer loans to ukraine. they have gathered about $100000000.00 of financial support or you can. but when it comes to financing climate change technologies, which have been agreed to in, in the climate change negotiations. they're not able to meet those targets. it is the book bill gates foundation, that is the foundation. there is the open society foundation, and they're all involved,

all involved in this because they find that the governments are a hurdle. the governments want to control the local sectors of the economy and they want to control down through these yardstick that they are set up in terms of what these kind of what these companies should do in terms of implementing the standards set up for that. that as it is, the rating agencies are very biased and re frequently try and manipulate things in their favor. and this is something which needs to be supervised and checked and acted against. but when he was pushed beyond a certain point on the agenda, the issues that come up and stuff like that. then they begin interfering with the decisions of companies in 3rd countries which cannot actually formulate their policies unless they are alignment with them to respond to agenda or western capital

o. a former wagner fighter claims he was black belt by human rights group to lie about alleged atrocities committed by russian forces in the war and ukraine. archie spoke to the soldier who implicated the founder of the so called gulag new site. vladimir of such kent everything was said under the orders of such kim, 2 years ago i ended up in pre trial detention center number one in serrato for a crime. and then i was transferred to the tuberculosis hospital. there, i was tortured. they mocked me. oh, this was filmed on video, and i was h can, has, is compromising evidence in my interview. more than 90 percent is a lie. i was forced to say it or i'll search him, posted is wrong. he took advantage of the situation. i called the wagner group, and now they will investigate this. we are not hired killers, they just slanted my name. there were no murders of children and civilians during

our operations. was it can simply force me into my comrades who were next to me. what we learned of it 1st last week when a vladimir, i said again, announced publicly that he was about to sink you've date of birth. goshen, who is the, the leader will the owner of the wagner private military company. he said that he had information which would make mister pentagon, a leper. nobody would approach him, and it would destroy his career. a little late. a few days later he published these youtube presentation. it is difficult to call this an investigation whereby there were 2 alleged wagner fighters who talked about all sorts of atrocities. now this is stuff pulled out of nightmares. you know, the, the, the whole slaughter of hundreds upon hundreds of men, women, children in out. it's almost by wagner fighters,

as well as the mud of their own fighters, execution of their invite. those who refused, who refused to follow orders. and to that, that obey their commanders very quickly. it emerged that at least one of the, one of the fighters, wagner fighters, which these report alleged, had been killed by their own comrades, was in fact alive. i can say the following. one of the ones who is supposed to be shot. he turns out he still fighting as for the under age soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, i think if how such can is hanging out somewhere in the region of ukraine. let's zalinski give him trust because this mania can degenerate, discredits the armed forces of ukraine regarding the shootings of children. of course, no one ever shoot side or a civilian or children. no one absolutely needs to do it. we went there to save them from the regime they were under rest of this so called investigation crumbled . quickly after that, we identified not just us,

but bush and press identified the to a former reported form of wagner fight as appearing. and mr sessions, so called investigation, they were asked whether what they said was true. one of them said that he was offered money and told what to say. the 2nd a certain as i'm out with got of identified as, as i'm up was that have said that he was blackmailed by miss that she gets i missed that was done of was convicted for robbery and assault several years ago while undergoing treatment in a jail a hospital for tuberculosis, he was sexually assaulted by i dot and identified individuals who filmed it on camera. he these disturbing footage miss that i said you get a human rights activist funded by. 5 western governments, including the state department, allegedly came upon this video and use that shoot it to miss those that have threatening him. that if he didn't say what he wanted him to say,

he would release it for the public. the see, at this point, even liberal activists said, much of which had you lago, dot net, i have come out and expressed shock the missed i said it would come out and, and so, so brazenly publish this. if you asked about the via the fight. i had said that mr . hatch can had blackmailed him threatening to publish this video, which again will perhaps segment the opinion here in russia, not just that much, but increasingly around the world, the less than funded n g o. so called human rights organizations. ah, they're not only the further their own goals, but perhaps the goal. oh michelin, odd to me, everywhere. and it strikes is that he's in actually i so it should be you say to me as is more brutal london leave more than the day before the fight is now go simply around the army headquarters,

but it's on certain other parts of those would have been actually, stones, i saw that wasn't, that had been moved by the, actually, by the, with him about this. ah, there was with i with the disease and now i'm guy that is to work with them. so i need to the basic needs of the services of the people. i think sedition. ready worse on that would be a crisis. political commentator, dr. good raz, seek felicia, said the r s f has no real chance against the regular army and all external forces provide support if it is a genuine good. i see a beautiful section between the cool site that is military and but on the beach. i think it is long and it even, it doesn't resolve. the military won't be able to fight for long because you should

not forget to me. in so many one and 4, what is it? 2 strongest on me in africa. and this gentleman, by the military forces, just of 111 on one point a report but, but the projects on file, what is the things that i really need food, then you get to know what you know like situation and even leave, you know why i'm saying that because you guys have a very much pin so you put it under that umbrella, somebody else, somebody's pressing the remote control end or in the show, some outsider, then the complete done on

a for food on. and if need be much worse, then there will be the head of the russian private military company. wagner has rejected claims. and the british menia that fighters from his group have been feeling crisis and sudan. there is currently not a single wagner, p. m. c fighter. and sudan, i emphasize there is not a single one. it has been this way already for more than 2 years. there have not been any wagner fighter since, who don for 2 years, and there were none. today. various british media outlets from the daily mail to the times have released reports claiming to link the wagner group to the chaos and sudan wagner, members have been deployed in parts of africa to fight against insurgents and terrorists and actions coordinated by local governments. it's fighters have served as instructors for the armed forces of the central african republic as well as

molly. and i've also conducted counter terror operations in that region. canada's national public broadcaster c v c says it's quitting twitter after being branded as 69 percent steep funded by the platform. twitters new labeling policy also saw britain's b. b. c. slap for the similar label last week, sparking outrage from the corporations management archie contributor rachel mars. it has been looking into the story before elaine must spot twitter. the western precious, collectively shrugged when chinese and russians lean to media like r t or slack. with these government funded labels, it's like it never occurred to them to stand up and say, hey, wait a minute. we could be next because our own media outlets get government support that never occurred to them because it seemed like the western establishment would pretty much always have some sort of control over platforms on social media like twitter,

and would have every interest in maintaining the status quo of using every opportunity to propagandized the notion of russia, china bad in this case, through the use of scary labels to discredit any information or analysis that risks challenging western narratives. but now the twitter is owned by musk. he's pretty much leveling the playing field. now, by going on a legally spree of western media that receives government funding, canada state broadcaster, the canadian broadcasting corporation or cbc, clearly considers it's new label to be harmful to it. it can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with canadians, but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the war. they do to law independence to be forced, described in this way. the western press objects to these tags being applied to them because they've long accepted the negative connotation of these labels that started back when they were only applied to media late to russia, china. they didn't even say anything when the accounts of individual journalists

with these outlets were also tag with the same scarlet letter. it's only now that the same labels are being applied to them that the cdc says that it represents an unfair attack on the integrity of. busy individual journalists working for them, so the cdc, which by the way, last received $1240000000.00 with a b of annual funding from the canadian federal government has now paused its twitter account and pointed out little guess 30 percent of its funding on its own thank you very much, which prompted, elan must to amend the label. canadian broadcasting corp said they're less than 70 percent government funded, so we corrected the label. by the way, if anyone at twitter was getting deeper, de learned that the canadian media is largely government funded and subsidized to an extent, far greater than meets the eye. but canadian prime minister justin trudeau hysterically played the class warfare card in defense of the public broadcaster

accusing conservative party opposition leader jeff, while yella of cozying up to us billionaires an obvious reference to must by the evelyn written the letter to twitter, drawing attention to the fact that the c, b c, which canadian conservatives have long use of cow towing to the left leaning establishment agenda shouldn't be left out of the research labeling spree which also hit other western outlets like britain's bbc now label is publicly funded and and p r. so national public radio in the u. s, which has outright quit twitter in protest, but hey, musty 44000000000 dollars for twitter so he can do what he wants with his own private company, right? that's the argue that was made by those who supported the western establishment narratives against the dissenters and activists of all kinds who were banned under twitters previous leadership and who now object to their reinstatement under musk. you know,

if these media outlets and journalists had just stood up for press freedom and free speech, when the targets were there competition, then maybe they wouldn't now find themselves in exactly the same firing line. the saudi foreign minister has met with the syrian president in damascus. and the for such high level get together in more than 12 years, the parent discussed a potential political solution to serious conflict. the resumption of diplomatic type was on the agenda as well. something being viewed as a significant step by saudi arabia and potentially ending serious decade long regional isolation. and we are now going to move over to another story as we've been following russian foreign minister survey live on his tour of latin america. he's currently in venezuela where he's been holding talks with the countries president and other top officials. right now he's about to give a press conference with his dentist whalen,

counterpart. so let's go ahead and listen in president madero and vice president me go. rodriguez and i feel like to welcome you received foreign minister of russia, the lumber all who arrived here in rockers casa, on the 19th of april, and then the needle. when i got the, when the process for when the struggle for independence started. so we touched upon the number of matters in that have to do with russia, venezuela relations. well, what i mean, what do you think on that? i don't for him to call me so not unless you before the 1st time present hooton's and she do chavez met to new york decades ago. and that, that mark the start of good relations between our country is the relation spans

across various areas such as agriculture, energy, the energy sector, health care, transportation. but as you add in traffic, war tries to transportation and other matters. in addition to that, we touched upon the positions of both parties, both sides. so our position coincides in assuming one either the jewel in many matters. we both share the principles of the un charter for them. we have an informal group within that organization that by you saying to randall e to group to so a more when you defend the un monica warner, what includes 20 countries and score the mount level. we work together to photo want to arrive to a consensus?

ah, locally, so our position is being a more developed across various international platforms and forums. we love it either. so we support such ideas, vision, international peace and national security. so i'd like to talk about, so a number of international agreements in 2022. yeah. it's a live at all. i got to let you on a, a session of the high level commission. i think that took place wait about involving the representatives all for that as well as national petroleum company that they saw. so there we signed a number of agreements and today with you, i say it was and i spoke about the aspects of those agreements with mr. lever off and i hope that we will be able to move forward with respect to these agreements. so like i said that the financial aspect of the energy sector aspect nearly maint

toyota equal i, when it's a lot of industry, beginning of it will not, i will let you unequal, but i increment the land. so agricultural production, we thought that mula and all of that will allow us to increase imports and exports claim of good finance year. a can handle it is a self perma pier and promote the much amount and develop the systems of firm and your pro handle. as financial communication meal, you'll never have time talking, of course about leave us rule swift system and the mirror and it's were bound only take my lead ex system or locked on it. i'm not sure if it, russian tourists will be able to throw a hand paid directly in venezuela using their own cards for paper with my laugh at us and that will show you when it's ready. so we will do that, sir, to develop our strategic relations with russia as they continued to unfold and develop. thank you by cba was, i'm a dummy for thank you ladies and gentlemen of but the official schedule. i'd like

to say that i agree with everything that sir, my colleague, mister hill just said we've had very constructive talk to will. cont, i will continue by trip here i will meet president maduro and vice president, sir. i rodriguez as well. we will discuss the further carrying out all agreements that have been agreed upon by a war leaders across various areas including important mechanisms such as the high level commission that had a very productive meeting in february this year where we agreed upon 11 new documents, sorry, pertaining to the development of our partnership. regardless, we have agreed to develop a trade investment corporation where we developed ties between our business circles . considering the existing reality. we have a number of projects plant, including in the areas of petroleum development,

through oil and gas, communications, healthcare, agriculture, and new technologies. in all those areas, we will continue to speed up and increase the pace of our cooperation and speech to which we will use the existing mechanisms to to achieve that as well. including the high level commission that i just mentioned reduced to school. we have agreed to expedite the, the pony to me, the carrying out of a number of other agreements we have touched upon, communitarian ties. there have been very productive. our cultural exchanges that have been reduced are very popular with russian citizens as well. and the russian you let the use the youth authentic what has been whether interested in studying in washington versus this as well. so we've decided that for the year of 2023 and 24, we decided to do to increase it by 2 times the quota. ah,

that will be provided to venezuelan young men and women wishing to study abroad in washington diversities they will be receiving more scholarships with the russian expenses, holland, center of culture and science will be the most opened the although use of the really believe sports competition, sports center will be open as well. central school and a center of will your city, russian language, worldly, opened at the russian university, is of the friendship all for people's summer. your. so venezuela is one of russia's most reliable partners with our countries. all we gotta linked to a, by a long history, all for a good relations, a joint stances on various international issues. and we have long shared junior brush. the, as these are good, are the ties and

a very similar positions to reassure. we have been tested by attempts to pressure us from the outside for you, but we will continue to develop our partnership independent on the of the your outside pressure from above. both russia and venezuela are committed to the basic principles of the un, including shar, gyla, sovereignty, all for nations, the non intervention into the domestic affairs of nations. and both russia and venezuela believed that countries have the right to define the future of their nations without outside intervention, without others trying to dictate to them what to believe or without unilateral one sided measures and sanctions. i practice that is currently used by the west. you see, as my colleagues has just said, i'm a new yorker shoot. there has been a group of, of friends to protect the un here. so the group refer includes a number of countries more and more,

are joining it's for and addition to that new york platform. she knew we've had sir. it's though ethan. we're the 1st meeting of a this group in geneva. ah, nazi. you met in the european headquarters of the u. n. study. so we will continue to develop the same practice in other capitals. so the group will continue to work here, sir. just carries out, it announces it has declarations and terms a, she, the main go over the group is to defend the un charter to the fullest extent. so today we discussed this as doug or the fact that so don't quote for many years after the creation of the u. n. r, there have been discussions with respect to what, which principles holds precedence ah, the formula, the rise of nations for self determination or the right for sovereignty. i'm

a consensus and we also let always recall that there has been a declaration for the principle of friendly relations between states that was approved osha, where it said, among other things that sir dumbstruck garage lutheran each nation was. each country must respect territorial integrity. preachers of those states whose
