for an overall positive economic impact with no long term impact on the hosting countries, g d p. so now a consensus has grown among economists that the olympic games need reforms to make them more affordable and also less corrupt. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you back here next time on the cost of everything. ah ah, a a for civilians are killed and 2 others wound an overnight showing by ukrainian forces of the russian

border region abroad. that's according to local officials. also ahead and the stories that shape the week we are at the construction site to have turkey is 1st, nuclear power plant. you had a mixers, multi $1000000000.00 joint portrait between and the right most good kids 1st and nuclear power plant is officially inaugurated. it's being built with russia and home with the leaders of the 2 countries taking part in the special ceremony and caching in on its global dominant asia, or just banker claims the u. s. dollar world's too much power and is often used by washington to hold the world to ransom with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is the weekly, on our international i merge of love it. here with the latest news. welcome to the

program. we begin in the russian border region of brioche for civilians have been killed and 2 others wound it after a village was shelled by ukrainian forces. overnight. this footage from social media is claimed to show the aftermath of the attack authorities say one house was completely destroyed. the village was reportedly struck several times in the early hours of sunday morning. authorities have declared a state of emergency in the area. meanwhile, ukraine's president says he, ab is ready to take back the crimean peninsula and an imminent attack vladimir sullens case statement. those stands in contrast to what his national security chief recently said. the key yet is waiting for more western weapons before launching any attack. while a military official claims is forces are facing a lack of manpower and equipment. the problem is that we have a lack of people and equipment because those who are professional soldiers hardened

in petra, teasing already exhausted, injured or recovering while they have died. that is why we involve peoplesoft misery experience and we train them so that they have the adequate preparation to face the enemy. ukraine's claims of an armed shortage comes despite the 10s of billions of dollars and military aid already received. the u. s. alone has sent 2000000 rounds of artillery shells and supplies for tanks, mortars, and anti tank systems. but international law specialist andre thomas hasa believes a sizable amount of those supplies and in the hands of criminal gangs. well that they are caught in their own legend of this conflict. and this said, this conflict is a legend of a just and an unjust war at nato, and led by the current president of america biden. and his ideologues at lincoln. that is really why why they keep furnishing olives and as they will find no, when you're, when you're extinguishing a fire that you will throw

a lot of water. this fire, the lot of the water will not be useful, it will fall. it will not fall on the fire or on the side. so they accept that they are maybe 40 percent losses. that 40 percent of the supplies i actually lost or don't become. i don't become effective at the end of world war 2 in germany, a clearly lost the wall. a germany is propaganda. machine was continuing to apply to proclaim victories even tried, took aim at the death of 800000 german soldiers in fighting rock as a victory or the, the propaganda can become ridiculous. and of course yes, in the end that, that nazi regime and assembled to the last people that could walk 12 year old boy, 2nd year old boys, old men, 70 year old men, to, to throw them into the way of the advancing, liberating armies from the west and from the east, i think this is what the ukraine is not doing. now last act of desperation.

meanwhile, the head of the wagner group pies said he expects cabs offensive to launch and may adding that russian troops, having fans further towards the western part of archie mosque also known as back mode. what we're seeing here are videos from archie mos reportedly phone by ukrainian soldiers pinned down by russian artillery. the wagner group chief says he abs courses have only a few square kilometers of the embattled cities still under their control. and as the battle for our to mosque intensifies fighting is ongoing along the entire front line. watching that 1st hand. here's our t senior correspondent, mariah garcia. we approach through ruins and a long trenches. the weather remains miserable. mud and sludge everywhere. we accompany a squad armed with a guided missiles system, their destination,

the top of a slag keep bare target ukrainian positions in mud. inca free guided rockets away targeting might, might income mighty good is perhaps the most fortified settlement that ukraine has under its control. for 8 years, they spent shoring it up, digging underneath setting up far in the position to make sure that it holds on as long as possible. putting about 25 percent of monica remained suddenly ukrainian control coordinates, missiles, common multiple variance, armor piercing fragmentation. and sometimes with the dreaded thermo barrick warhead, google sl michelle zulu. what we just did was planned and put together over 2 days . our people were constantly on watch and we confirmed a large and me presence about 20 soldiers. the best case scenario for them is that

they give birth on the robles lawyer. the fight for mighty anchor is the longest. ongoing battle in the ukrainian conflict. new building remains untouched. many no longer exist. it is slow going. speed is not a priority here or might okay, so am bullen minion on hold. we're moving forward on. it isn't quick, but i'll notice a minimal. our objective is to cause the enemy maximum damaged him while minimizing all losses. depending on location, tactics and strategies vary wildly. nearby and backward. the pace is much quicker, much more savage and a parent radio intercept of ukrainian communications has spa outrage in russia. they're gonna wiggling it. i was married. i wonder boy. oh boy. okay, 40. did you want a brand new? do your grandchild? you?

yeah, i got it. okay, let me remind your 100 guarantee where we are in the battle already infamous for its viciousness dubbed the meat grinder by key of officials. these boots eel, recently the wagner private military company and ukrainian forces had conducted a prisoner exchange. it now seems unlikely that there'll be another one about this radio intercept, according to which ukrainian saw executing all prisoners has great humanitarian significance. humanitarian law begins. when you take someone prisoner, you have to take care for them. we want wiley that loss, so we won't take any more prisoners. moodle kill all we meet on the fields of battle. we won't take any one prisoner. this will come as unwelcome news to ukrainian families ready on the edge from the horrendous casualty rates among ukrainian troops. they've dead challenge the military leadership. ah,

wow. ah, in cowboy, a rogue. the relatives of ukrainian soldiers, the missing and the injured, gathered at the military office to protest. they accused the army leadership of sending their under trade, fathers, husbands, and sons, to their deaths, under equipped and lacking even food. any on leasing. and people were ignored. the military officials shut the doors and said nothing, and all the front remain static. ukraine continues to prepare. it's spring offensive, and russia further fortifies it's already formidable defenses. on both sides pension ma'am, so head of a battle with may decide this conflict more at gazda of archie for

a might income than yet screeching. the power of the u. s. dollar essentially makes it the world's biggest financial terrorist. that's the startling claim of asia as riches banker. i genuinely fuel the biggest financial terrorist in the world is the us dollar. all our money is in no true counts, and somebody in the us can say you cannot withdraw it from tomorrow morning. and you're stuck, that is the power of the reserve currency. and i think we're at a crucial time in world history when the world is desperately looking for an alternative reserve currency. these changes happen once in a 100 years. the indian finance air, claiming that the greenback has disproportionate power which negatively affects the world economy. as the american banking system provides no guarantees for access to reserves held in the u. s. economist occassion now believes that the rapid growth

of the indian economy provides an opportunity for the rebate to become a new reserve currency. the dollar. this really happening now, the sort of status which you have del ahead, 20 years of or 10 years ago. that is not good. now you see as guarantee ya has gained prominence. getting bonded prominence in will be my own currency is also getting importance be, are the 5th largest economy. we are growing by 2027. we expected to be the 3rd because to call me and, and see what that is of going to see the doctor and see is any good and see which globally central bank for one or 2 parties use for their products as us are both going to see which could be used what i need nationally, these international di, absent national tournaments. so definitely there is, there are chances that income and see what become as of currency. not there are many countries which are dealing with india and i don't guarantee indian to be so,

and then i will be is gaining prominence in the past one year in general again, prominence and it's going to be much more important. so going, going ahead, there's a possibility, there's a chance of india becoming as of going to india and then repeat, becoming, go much more popular currency than, i mean you're, i'm still buying away from moscow despite all of the anti rushes sanctions and the fuel is coming out of price, that's the revelation by bloomberg, which found that europe's becoming increasingly dependent on indian petroleum products which consist of russian crude. india bought a record amount of russian crude this month, around $2000000.00 barrels per day. that makes up almost half of indian total imports of the commodity. meanwhile, the south asian country is on track to become the largest supplier, as you will see, europe. now, sim. similarly,

many other countries that increased russia and crude imports have become leaders of oil exports to the u. n. g 7 countries. those western powers which impose sanctions against russia, have increased their imports from china, india, turkey, the u, a. e and singapore. now meanwhile, the north african state of morocco has also increased imports of russian oil, morocco imported 6 100000 barrels from russia in all of 2021. but that's jump to 3000000 barrels. and just the 1st 2 months of this year alone. if such a trend continues, morocco will see a 32 fold increase in russian oil imports. media reports claim that morocco then appears to be re exporting to market. at the end of 2020 to morocco began to buy fuel from moscow at an average of more than $7000000.00

leaders per day in parallel rebuff began to exported to spain. a political and foreign policy expert we heard from says the sanctions have just led to the west, still buying russian oil, but at a higher price, indirect way, it actually becomes more mockery of the terms to sanction russia also. and it is a mockery of this whole concept of sanctions. but it's, you know, i'm sure it's mostly more expensive for them because you don't be in union. and the g 7 countries are buying oil from india and they are buying the end product at some of the buying buying the purified and the find oil is such. so anyway, to refine petroleum and refine petroleum products, will obviously be more expensive than federal liam. and crude product, 5th petroleum products that such, if they are happy in ending more money for it than it compared to felicia, then we respect that vision. turkey as president has made his 1st public appearance

in days after falling l dispelling rumors that he was supposedly integrated condition. he attended an aerospace technology exhibition and assemble where he stood side by side with the leader of turkey as close ally as or by john earlier early on. also ship part in a video conference with his russian counterpart vladimir putin. to inaugurate turkey as 1st nuclear power plant, it was built by russia state atomic energy company, rather tall. at the time, russian and turkish flags were raised simultaneously alongside a white flock, symbolizing a peaceful ada. are to maria for notion of as more now on what was the largest new construction project in the world this year is so official in the construction site of turkey as 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 there. he's scheduled for 2025 turkey. he's joining the countries using clean nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. he is worth mister air . the gun said about that. i was good. our power plants deserves the title of a strategic one. this project will undoubtedly help reduce our natural gas importers by $1500000000.00 per year, while increasing our national income, who had my report, and also joined the ceremony via video praising the project, the biggest team, the history of russia, took a year, cooperation, ultimately that you took a positional after reaching full design capacity. the plants will be able to provide up to 10 percent of turkey's energy consumption, which would 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. sense 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 side of turkey is 1st nuclear power plant. aku you and ambitious multi $1000000000.00 joint contract between an to ride moscow. the biggest the ever aim, the 2 countries long history of cooperation. it is also the largest nuclear construction site in the world in terms of generating capacity. a number of units been billed to small tennis slam. but 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 was 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 modern, so cold post fukushima requirements updated following the 2011 nuclear is also in japan. how cool you is said to be resistance to earthquakes, tsunamis and even a plane crash. as we move through senior boon for the earthquakes in turkey 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, here, the highest to not me wipe in the region was 7 meters are protective structure is designed for 12 meters. all the post fukushima tests of will ensure that plants,

operational safety, safe and powerful. the station will cover up to 10 percent of took. he has electricity needs with grain, carbon free energy, a queen 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 3 plus reactors 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, like 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 p pulse new or apartment buildings, education and medical facilities, transport and leisure infrastructure. their wages 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. wilsonville would never give up friends, half way through keel ups, russia, russell as turkey. this project is one of the biggest rookie is working on in cooperation with its l. i let it osler, the plant has been built in the countries mercy province on the southern mediterranean coastline. traditionally agricultural it's fruit and vegetable farms also expand 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. yasandra leon over the pole plant is near by, but we're not afraid why? because this area is not earthquake, rome. so i don't think the nuclear power plant poses any threat as you regions were

chosen with the lowest risk of earthquakes, sin up region and al q. so the location for the power plant is safe refill chena r t from turkey in reportedly classified american government documents say that developing nations. josie, v, u. s. as the world's only superpower and thus they avoid expressing allegiance to washington. those claims are made in a recent article by the washington post. the documents among a trove of u. s. secrets leaped online through the discord messaging platform. provide a rare glimpse into the private calculations by key emerging powers, including india, brazil, pakistan, and egypt. as they attempt to straddle allegiances in an arrow, when america is no longer the world's unchallenged superpower, the article suggests, arise of china and the continued assertiveness of russia, post formidable challenges to washington. it says the key developing nations have

been trying, 1st and foremost to create better opportunities for themselves, even if that means going against us interests. it also says the current us administration has fallen short and its efforts to learn those emerging con economies back to washington side, journalists, them political analysts. john verbally believes that the american establishment wants to get rid of president bite in america is run by basically a power. you know, it's not, not run by one man, not by president. there's a collective group of oligarchy, the democratic party. but now, as always, whenever the collective rule, there's different groups, there factions, and they, you fight with each other, then you have conflicts. they do jostle for power. and that's what we're seeing here. we're seeing in that, you know, there's one group, the democratic elite, and they're saying, ok joe, he's just too old to white. he's too old. he to mail. he's got to go. we need a young woman with woman of color. someone who's gives a brighter image. joe, he's

a little bit crazy again knows what he's doing, but he irascible, he's a rascal in ang can get angry. so certainly they're going to do everything possible to try to discredit bite and, and eventually push him from power this week president by then announced his candidacy for reelection among the run up to next year's vote. biden's main political rival, donald trump, outlined his thoughts on why the u. s. might be losing his influence around the world. american families are being decimated by the worst inflation in half a century. and joe biden is led us to the very brink of world war 3. we're very close and they're only talking about nuclear weapons by chairman of the shanghai center for room pack and international studies. milton wong, beliefs of the political struggles in the us have nothing to do with democracy, but with the interest of unseen leads. there are a lot of happenings now in the us,

particularly in view of the upcoming election next. what they call it, a democracy is actually something to fool the general public. there is only interest of a political party, all the forces behind it that matters. it's not actually a democracy that they are talking about public to know. so there, exposing themselves, it's becoming evident that more and more countries and now losing their face and confidence in the u. s. or in other words, the u. s. approach or it's expectation to seek well dominance by forcing others to always stand on its side or to offer themselves onto the us band wagon in the name of protecting the self claimed liberal democracy. that's perhaps out of date already to some extent i think it's,

it's more like that the u. s. is winding it more and more difficult to try to hold it. so cold partners and follow us together even among the later. ah, north korea claims that southern neighbor along with the us are provoking a nuclear war. it comes after fuel and washington unveiled a new military stance, including positioning a nuclear arm submarine near the peninsula. unions halgert headed your recently south korean president young, took you all, the puppet trader traveled across the atlantic to the us. on this trip by the puppet trader, aim to draw up a sinister plan to annihilate the tbr k between the master. and de stooge is the most hostile, aggressive, and provocative trip and a dangerous one for a nuclear war. the dangerous nuclear moves of the u. s. and the pumping group running a mock and stifling the dpr, kate well denying the existence of the dpr k can never be pardoned and they will

have to pay dearly for their rash acts. those remarks came in response to an official visit of the south korean president to the u. s. where he address a joint session of congress and had meetings with both joe biden and the u. s. defense secretary. meanwhile, thousands of south koreans have protested against us, nuclear weapons, potentially being stationed in their country. they claim the planned move. we'll escalate an already 10 situation. good before talking about the issue of sovereignty, since nuclear armament itself in size conflicts between countries. i think you shouldn't have nuclear interests. i think it is a problem to give the united states to bring nuclear weapons in any way. you would have chris. i think this is a hasty decision. i also think to we should not possess nuclear weapons. how to say, i think it's humiliating. one sided diplomacy. i am anxious. there is, of course, a fear that the regular deployment of strategic nuclear weapons can really cause

something big to happen on the korean peninsula. former u. s. military officer scott bennett, believes that washington's efforts to provoke north korea will only push it closer to a strategic partnership with russia and china, sending a submarine, a nuclear submarine, one of the 18 nuclear class, ohio class submarine is very, very dangerous. i think honestly, joe biden is trying to provoke some sort of us, a skirmish ignite of fire that he can then rally america and a world war 2 mentality and say it's us versus than the axis of evil versus the axis of good. i do not suspect he is going to be allowed to trigger a nuclear bent, but he very well could launch tomahawk cruise missiles as a distraction operation for other events that he may be secretly doing right now in the straits. i want china and russia created

a strong wall against the hedge amman, and the us knows that and the trail humans and the british and the canadians that do so they're trying to bluff, they're trying to send these pageantry rainbow flag worrying armada located around the south trying to see, hoping that somehow that's going to be perceived as a warrior demonstration and it's not, it's laughable parade of fools in the eyes of the nation. so i think member, they have captured a well who is very cool and very calculating. so they are, they are going to unite in a multi polar world is many of speculated and buttress each other's independence from being attacked by the head to mon there's a new chest world. check the title after defeating a competitor from russia in the tiebreaker. the previous 14 games over the past 3

weeks ended with an even 77 tie, and it all came down to sundays. final competition, the grand prize of 2000000 euros is to be divided between the 2 players with the winner to take 60 percent. russia has a long history of producing players that have tussled with the very best in the world of chat artes. donald corridor pushed his paws and shunted his nights to find out more for the 1st time ever. china has won the world chest crown at this year's world chest championship in cassock stand dimly ran one after a close series of games with his russian opponent. he and diplomacy. russia got more chest grand masters than anywhere in the world. this games been played for hundreds of years here, even rulers like ivan, the terrible and peter the great fancied themselves, a game of chess every once in a while, for the past 6 decades, the title of world chess champion has belonged almost exclusively to soviets. and

now russians, it's no wonder the game is so popular in this country with $1.00 and $4.00 russians playing it, at least once a year. and today we're going to talk with some of those players that one of moscow's biggest parks called vit and car. rhythm cause chess players constitute just one of many communities across russia, where people from all walks of life get together to test their wits in this competitive game of strategy. the game of chess teaches you to think strategically . it's amazing. i think that all children of a certain age should play chess. what can i say? i like the game. i've been playing chess for 70 years. it's a beautiful game. modern chess is different from the way it used to be back in the soviet union is become more psychological and emotional chess players used to even 2nd guessed moves by poems, but now they're more inclined to be taking risks. it's more of a gamble now. it's a tradition that's last.
