what i see if you were with somebody in the gum handle by lisa morris, knows what i see is great. and i did it at the police grove with a career. he's russia and took his biggest government project with a total investment of $20000000000.00. turkey 1st nuclear power plant has received its nuclear status with its like a, he's bullets on like energy rates above the russian on turkish presidents attended the ceremony via video link. like rumors about the ones with the you. k stopped short of making safe routes for food in these refugees, all giving it to allow everyone in the country thought contrast to the country back to support to prelude with indonesia joins the lead of

brick country than switching away from trading in u. s. a. takes the green back as china's top cross florida, currently with a warm welcome. it's 9 pm here in moscow, and this is nancy international with the very latest wealth news updates. very one welcome to you. i'll take care of 1st nuclear power station, a q u has received the atomic status of the delivery of his 1st batch of nuclear fuel. the plans will have a full reactor is the 1st of which will be launched this year. $20000000000.00 plan is a joint turkish russian project. person under the bond have both praised the project as a historic one such as the letter was that the wilcox master, a qu, you starts working at full capacity level. we will certainly supply less natural gas to tertiary with no good because gas is an expensive product today and will

only rise in price and turkey or will enjoy being a country that has its own nuclear power, which is one of the cheapest energy sources in the afternoon that a u t. u cool utility road us no supervisor. today we have taken a great staff there will place took a year among countries with nuclear energy, with the delivery of fuel r q has gained the status of a nuclear power plant for our korea is russia, and turkey is biggest common project her with a total investment of $20000000000.00. it is then they don't. gratian of the plant was marked with a special ceremony by members of 3 generations. i, for citizens. the flags of russia and turkey were raised simultaneously with a 3rd white flag symbolizing the peaceful atom between them. a symbolic gesture was witnessed by president putin under one via video link with both meters welcoming b historic moments on teeth. maria phenomena was at the plant and springs as i left her. ne, i mean it's now official in the construction site of turkey has 1st nuclear power plant that you can see behind me got the status of nuclear facility. the 1st batch

of atomic fuel arrived from russia and is currently in the storage. the ceremony is over. it will take some more time before it comes on line. the launch of the 1st a for reactor is it's right beer. he's scheduled for 202530 east joining the countries using clean nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. he is worth mister air . the gun said about that. i was good in our power plants deserves the title of a strategic one. this project will undoubtedly help reduce our natural gas importance by $1500000000.00 per year, while increasing our national income. the turkish leader took part in the ceremony . here at our core, you buy a video, but still i have to say that it was a huge relief in the last 24 hours. there were many can fly t hard to verify reports and even rumors about out of the guns condition, including that he had suffered a heart attack that he's at the hospital and even that his family was invited for a talk with doctor is his appearance and participation here cleared all the

questions, who had more potent also joined the ceremony by a video praising the project, the biggest team, the history of russia took a year cooperation. ultimately that you took a position after reaching full design capacity. the plants will be able to provide up to 10 percent of turkey as energy consumption, satisfying the energy needs of the growing turkish economy. moreover, the new nuclear power plant, unlike traditional hydrocarbon fuel based plants, will not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which will have a positive effect on the environment in the head of the international atomic agency was also at the ceremony. here it is days after you run into president zalinski published on his social media that he had a talk with mister grossey, assuring him that he should get control over his approach in a nuclear power plant. to avoid catastrophe. i had a chance to ask mr. grossey about that with has it in secret,

in person just said that he talked to you about the nuclear power plant and he said that it should be returned under control ukraine to the point where there was what we need to do to protect the platt and we are working on the protection of the plant we hope to be able to do it. so thank you very much. thanks back to our call you on thursday, we heard a lot about how safe and powerful this future nuclear power plant will be. he is my report from the facility we are at the construction site of turkey is 1st nuclear power plant act who you and emissions multi $1000000000.00 joint point between an parade moscow. the biggest, the ever a, the 2 countries long history off corporation. it is also the largest nuclear construction site in the world in terms of generating capacity and number of it's been built small tenea slam. and also autumn state corporation generates about 20 percent of the total electricity produced in russia and currently has an immense portfolio of international orders. $34.00 nuclear power units in 11 countries are

under construction. i. q. u is by far the biggest among them and truly unique when your goodness. but there are many unique things about this project. we're all them 3 of them. the 1st of all, this is the 1st bio project in the world. it is also turkey's 1st such project, and finally, an international team is working on it. the operational staff will include both turkish and russian specialist in london, safety's among the top priorities. as the deputy general director tells me, the project meets all more than so cold post fukushima requirements updated following the 2011 nuclear disaster in japan. how cool you is said to be resistance to earthquakes, tanami, and even a plane crash. as you move through senior food for the earthquakes in turkey, i haven't changed our plans. we haven't considered earthquakes measuring 9 on the magnitude scale. never seen here before. we've taken a range of constructive decisions from and adopted our approach to equipment production. we considered shock waves. blain crushes blasts,

and natural disasters like tsunamis in the equipment production. for example, the highest to not me wave in the region was 7 meters are protective structure is designed for 12 meters. all the post fukushima tests will ensure the plants operational safety, safe and powerful. the station will cover up to 10 percent of took. he has electricity needs, with green carbon free energy. i queer nuclear power plant will have 4 power units . you can see them from here, the 1st one, almost ready, number 23, and the 4th is barely visible. now the words have started recently, russian generation free plus we ether is, will be used here with a capacity of 1200 megawatts age. when it comes a line, the power plant will be able to generate power enough to provide electricity to a city the size of a stumble. even before it could start light, not big cities. the project has already given life to new towns and made little

villages around the side grow, providing jobs to around 30000 people, new apartment, buildings, education and medical facilities, transport and leisure infrastructure. their regions face has visibly changed with this economy boosted, but there is much more to come. the local mayor believes that took here and russia's decades long, strong working relationship, tested by many turbulent times. he's key to success. to live in bill whenever give up friends, half way to kill, loves russia, russia last to get this project is one of the biggest turkeys working on in cooperation with its ally mother. the plant has been built in the countries mercy province on the southern mediterranean coast line. traditionally agricultural it's fruit and vegetable farms also expands to the regions grow in needs. market prices go up, making the business more profitable for local producers. people's fear is that often surround nuclear projects around the world. a phenomenon known as radio

phobia, seem to find little supporters here. ya, santa eliano, the power plant is nearby, but we are not afraid why, because this area is not earthquake prone. so i don't think the nuclear power plant poses any threat to regions. we're chosen with the lowest risk of earthquakes, center, bridge and, and a q u. so the location for the power plant is safer. on thursday, the 1st batch of fresh atomic fuel will be delivered to the plant grant in it, an official nuclear status. the fuel was brought from russia with the exact logistics a classified state secret, but it is known that airplanes, boats, and trains were used. the 1st reactors launched is shaded for 2025, but both countries say chances are high that it might happen ahead of time refill chena r t from turkey in. well that's not close to your t r t well that it's her uses aram. now to discuss this further, many thanks for joining us on the program is good to see you. so president putin

under to one of court, today's plant integration, a historic event. what's your take on its significance? it's stephanie historic event. now k is in the week of countries that produce nuclear energy. it's one of i believe about $35.00 countries that has a nuclear reactor. and that's the report stage of this nuclear reactors expected to provide 10 percent of energy and also expected to shave about $1500000000.00 off of to get energy price tag that it is every year. now as the country that is heavily dependent on energy imports, this is a huge game changer for to enter its been taking many steps trying to become more independent from an energy perspective. so whether it be this nuclear energy discoveries in the black sea region, renewables, this is all part of to strategy to become more climate friendly, reduce its carbon footprint, but also become more independent energy wise. and this is

a historic historic investment. finally, coming on line by, that's again, as i said, it's going to be a game changer, and we thought the russian president, also in that joint presser video teleconference, together, he called this called new nuclear power plant, the world's greatest power plant right now. 2 we need a power plant, have remained a topic of high control since the 2011 fukushima does also. what's your attitude to this issue in this is the attitudes while the to the issue in turkey with the turkish people. well, obviously a lot of pre planning went into this is no stranger to earthquakes. as we know from the recent earthquake that happened. earthquakes are very disastrous, catastrophic. we've seen the disaster disasters also in the past that your noble disaster as well. the accident happened, but there has been a lot of planning that was involved in to be pre process before the decision was

made for the nuclear power plant. and also we need to realize that the nuclear power plant very well with the earthquake that you get based earlier this year, there was no damage done, no damage incurred by the nuclear power plant. everything is very good. it's all been done at very, very high quality, not just the technology, but also the construction of the plan is very high quality. so the authorities feel very confident that the plant will be able to withstand any type of natural disasters and will be ready to service the turkish people very soon. and how do you think the power plants will contribute to turkey are standing on the global arena? oh, be very important because as i previously said, be able to become energy independence is very, very important for turkey, the energy price that has created huge burden on the current account deficit. so these types of investments that shape money off the energy price tag $1500000000.00 yearly savings is what the target president was quoted as saying. it will also

allow to get to continue to explore more opportunities for more nuclear power plants also renewable investments. so this is very, very important placing to get in a new and higher li regarding energy and also just geopolitically as well. the opening of the plant is another sign of the strong partnership between russia and turkey, b u. s. and some of his allies have previously made it very clear that they're not happy about take his partnership with rush, but what can they really do about it? now i think the term that made it very clear that they don't really care how happy or not the like the west is about its relationship to the country that exercises strategic autonomy. and that is going to continue to have relationships that are its interest and also a mutual interest with the partners that is trading in russia is a tremendously important trade partner to, to get whether it be tourism, whether it be agriculture, whether it be energy defense issues, but to get on,

the rush is also an important partner in the international theater as well, whether it's bringing security and stability, the area, or libya. we're also working on trying to broker piece in ukraine or broker the green corridor deal. russia has been a very important partner to get in that coordination. cooperation had created very positive results so far. so the turks are seeing positive results, the international community thing, positive results out of this property in coordination. so i don't think it can end anytime soon. i don't think the 30 president cares what other people think about the relationship that she has with other countries. i speaking to us that i really appreciate your time and your inside, but there's talking to t r t. well, the editor, you sit around. thank you. fighting has intensified in sedans, was told and province of da further, despite the u. s. broke the sci fi that took effect on tuesday, a video shot by a resident and problems. his capital shows black smoke rising in the,

along with the sound of heavy gunfire. witnesses told the french press that war plains had been patrolling the skies over the capital of soldiers exchange, artillery and heavy machine gun fire or britain can accommodate everybody. that's the message from the u. k. governments were responding to london plans to welcome sudanese refugees mentioning that ukraine and sit down a very different you are also coming up with safe routes from ukraine that ukrainian people could get to the u. k. we remember that the various programs that were announced at would it be sensible, fair to do the same kind of thing for people from see that the situation is at a very different tier, ukraine, as so i wouldn't want to draw those comparisons. what of course is one very obvious difference in that is that the ukranian refugees are white europeans, while those from sudan are black. now the plight of those from ukraine has been used as part of a propaganda war by the british government to soften up public support for

britain's intervention in ukraine and the sale of arms to makia. now we have this situation where around half of the $200000.00 ukraine use, it took advantage of that program as struggling to find accommodation that were initially offered a 6 month contract. this was funded by local authorities, but those councils are now asking for more money. sedan, sorry, was of course a british colony until at 1956 and like many other countries written plummeted, its natural result is keeping the people there in poverty was also popping up a number of dictatorial regimes. and as we've heard the situation there is an it is getting more and more desperate. hundreds of being killed in this power struggle between 2 former allies. hemmer t from the rapid support force is the probability groups and the head of the army, albert hon. tampa, britain. appears to be turned his back on the people of sudan just at their time of need. now the immigration minister, robert jen, rick,

he said earlier today that the people of sedan should seek refuge in the 1st safe country in the prime minister, richie soon. ok said that the company's priority was at the evacuation of british diplomats and their families. and the european union is known to have made a private warnings to the british government saying that its immigration policy could be in breach of human rights legislation. britain's own equality watchdog has made a similar earnings to the, to the government. this is of course, over its policy which sees asylum seekers entering the country now will be taken and flown out to rwanda. full of processing that this is of course, a part of the tory government plan to stop the boat stop the people crossing in these flimsy boats from france now. so well, abraham in the home secretary has been a widely criticized for this policy, including from people that fred, the holocaust, in nazi germany. and they said that the rhetoric that she's using of the language that she's using, i'm is reminiscent of of those times. and of course most famously the former

england, it's national for order and bc pundit, gary lenika was very critical of, of the government. but this inflammatory use of language has had some consequences not fall right. protestors have gathered outside hotels for example, where many of these refugees have been given a temporary accommodation and temporary housing. but today's intervention and what we've heard from the government from the prime minister and the other minister shows that britain is really applying double standards and is leaving itself open to accusations of hypocrisy or persons. daniel secretary of the communist party, robert, great. this essays, the u. k m secretary is no different than other government officials and simply vilifying african refugees fortunate they. she uses the same dog with language that we come to expect from quite a number of these government ministers. this talk of asylum seekers come in here and cannibalizing britain as well. so resources so this. busy in the

country. so we're used to this kind of inflammatory language, combined with a refusal to act in any kind of way that could be described as humanity area. of course, there was a political point to be made in terms of providing refugees from ukraine and to some extent, even from afghanistan. but unless, unless that direct economic and political and military interested considering the british government is not interested, britain has turned its back on the world's refugees. arguing that they should settle in the 1st safe country. they come to, well of course anybody trying to get to britain is going to have to go via some other country. and therefore, as we're surrounded by water, it's so easy to retreat behind that and to say, well, you know, refugee crisis, nothing to do with us. they bureau of economic security of ukraine has located

a warehouse in the nation's and evolve region filled with european about a terry and ave allegedly headed for resale. that $1000.00 pallets of 8, including children's items, clothes and $74.00 tons of canned food was found. sitting rather than in the hands of those in need, the bureau says it has lost an investigation into the issue. i'm just trying to identify how the supplies bought that. well, this is not the 1st case of alleged corruption with humanitarian aid in the nation . in 2022, the national anti corruption bureau of ukraine found that the majority of humanitarian aid in this region, including 22 containers and 400 railway watkins, had been stolen goods. what then sold local stores that significant increases me one keith has already received more than a $1000000000.00 of humanitarian assistance in my house. political analyst on seni, editor for issue insight and john catholic,

many thanks for joining us on. the program is good to see. i'd like to ask you, what's your reaction to this latest incidence of allegedly stolen humanitarian, 8 discovered in ukraine? i remember last year in berlin at a recovery conference, one of the central themes from pamela's was talking about. there were too many marshal plants at that point. there was too many governments wanting to have their own plans to support ukraine in the private sector. the same thing has happened where, because of the totality of what took place in ukraine february, march, in april of last year in it's in its most ugliness and when much of it was televised, it was a lot of sympathy, a lot about wearing support. and so you had a lot of groups, thousands of groups all over the world, saying they wanted to help. and they started sending and goods and ukraine, public sector, private sector, overwhelmed. and with that, you have

a lot of products and some of it's going to be misdirected. and some of it's going to go into corrupt hands. and it's truly unfortunate. the good news is it's being reported. the bad news is it exists. is there a way to make it go away? a 100 percent? it be fantastic, but in war and even in peace time, you have a not an endemic of corruption, but you certainly have it there. and i know i've, i've seen it when i visited ukraine. so it's, it's there and, and it's not the 1st case of such corruption and coming up in ukraine. it doesn't look like he is doing a good enough job in cracking down on such practices. i think that they're struggling, the government, the president zalinski administration knows fully. well there will be no movement on european union membership unless corruption is dealt with. and corruption isn't

just a one day. ok, it's a headline and we're going to do it here. corruption is endemic in ukraine and it has been endemic for 30 plus years since its founding in $1091.00. so they have, they have a long way to go nato. that's another issue that corruption in terms of military hardware. that's also an issue. so the government's going to have a tough time because there are a lot of individual interests who made a lot of money prior to the war beginning on the 24th of february of last year during the last 2 decades. and they want to keep that money and just the whiskey administration is trying to say, well, you know, we're going to start clawing this back. well, the question is, how far back are they going to go? and how deep are they going to go? and do they truly have the stomach to go after their friends? not just their enemies. and i think that much of this we're going to see does

ukraine have a presidential election and a parliament election next march? and if they do, you know, this is going to be a big part of the campaign in terms of corruption existing. and what is the government done to do? and as you were saying, it came a thing quoted me concerning. they came on italian aid isn't reaching the people who need it most, but even more consenting and worrying is that how western weapons being sent to ukraine also ending up on the black market. so knowing base, why do you think western countries are still sending is so much a to key as is such as no way around it on the the weapon, black market issue that's, that's out of my wheelhouse but in terms of the humanitarian on deliveries. you know, they're still going to be individuals and organizations, whether they're n g o's, whether they're churches, community groups, that are just, they have

a connectivity to ukraine, whether there's a, there are people in the congregation or among their members who are ukrainian or no ukrainian. so they're going to keep sending stuff. it is, you know, the optics, make it worse. and that's why it's great to identify it. but when you have television showing it when you have reporters writing about it, when you have journalists speaking about it on radio, you have that kind of reinforcement just, you know, isn't good for anyone. so the only the only response to craney government needs to take and should take, and i think there's a good constituency to try to do that is to be very public, very quickly. i remember last year the minister of economy made a statement. my head almost fell off when he said the myth of corruption, we should start to start a stop talking about it. and my response was that's just a psychotic way of looking at it. you own corruption,

you admit that it's there because everyone else knows it's there and then you try to go after it. but when it comes to humanitarian aid, when it comes to products that are meant for children, or meant for churches to distribute torment for hospitals. it's, you don't, you don't have 9 lives, you're, you get maybe one or 2 chances to own it and correct it before then it starts metastasize, ink. and then people start turning against you, which is sort of where, you know, where you were going with the question. that then people start saying, why are we helping this folks if all they seem to be interested in is turning into cash for themselves. and that's just just awful. you know, but they said it or the crane is going to be able to get rid of a 100 percent. no. are they going to leave it alone and let it fester? know they've got to figure out how to be very public. and at the same time, go after their friends as hard as they're going after they're in as if i sometimes

people don't want to deal with inconvenient traits do they, i speaking of which and put a surprise when a female has recently revealed that even the u. s government has raised the alarm a bit behind closed doors. i but how much western money is being embezzled by including by president zalinski himself? what do you think the americans are failing today? much about it, and do they really even want to i can't comment in totality on the veracity of what mr. hersh wrote. you know, he has is a long journalistic history of, of making public some very, very interesting, you know, interesting things. in this particular case, the number was out there. i think you said it was about 400000000 dollars or, you know, information through the panama papers release and others. you know, i don't know whether that's true, but all ukraine can do is to say, okay,

you've made the allegation, show us what you've got. and then we'll try to do something for, or do something with it. for the u. s. government, the vine, harrison ministration, members, united states congress. you know, you have, you have very, very much a, a tortured view of what to do with ukraine. because when there's a, there's a very short window this year, and it begins in may or june with the expected offensive by the armed forces of ukraine. and then it sort of ends in the fall. and unless there's a dramatic change in the status quo, it's going to be very, very tough to keep that flow of money going. and one of the 1st statements by the republicans when they took over the house of representatives, january led by speaker mccarthy. kevin mccarthy, of california, and he made the statement, you know, look, there is no blank check. everything needs to be accountable. and so that's what i

think you're going to see, you know, going to see that ramping up more and more. you know, whenever there's discussion of military equipment going awry, you know, the buying administration thus far. one of their statements have been that they've seen no credible evidence. i have to believe that with republicans in the, in control of the house of representatives. they're going to be, they're going to continue to be very, very active in trying to make certain that if it exists, that they find it and stop it. and if it doesn't exist, they don't let it happen. when he thinks of making just a day, think right to get your thoughts on this don't covalent cavity lake, excuse me, a political analyst and senior editor issue and say, in fact, thank you. thank you ma'am. and of asia has announced that aids that shifting away from using the us dollar in trade be head of indonesia central bank. so the country is following the lead of the bricks group of nations. this comes off the block biggest economy. china revealed that its own new one has replaced the dollar as the

country's most use trade currency, aging phase, the unshared group by more than $100000000000.00 worth in january, and now amounts to 3.9. truly a new on which equals almost $570000000000.00. bricks countries are rapidly shifting to using their national currencies in trade. russia and india now says that oil deals in were peas, while russia and china now carry out the lion's share of that bilateral transactions and new on tongues will developing in all new unified bricks. currency are also in the works, although the blocks members have admitted the challenges of such a complex move. i discuss this with all to contribute to present here in the studio . a lot of countries just haven't had a choice but to change from the dollar to trading and another currency. because if those countries trade with russia in any way, shape or form right now, the united states is that if you trade in us dollars, we will sanction you and for another countries, but now have to.
