ah, the term strategic autonomy sounds good. the word strategic conjures up a sense of importance and autonomy presents a sense of independence. but when you consider the french president using this term, then we are forced to wonder if he is a serious person. after all, europe is no longer strategic or autonomy ah, 4 civilians are killed and 2 others wound it an overnight showing by ukrainian forces of the russian border region of bri up. that's according to local officials . also ahead of the stories that shape the week. we are at the construction site, the 1st nuclear power plant. are you ready for the multi $1000000000.00 joint between and provide me with turkey is 1st, nuclear power plant is officially inaugurated. it's being built with russian help

put the leader of the 2 countries taking part in special ceremony and caching in on global dominance ages. richest banker claims b. u. s. dollar will too much power and is often used by washington to hold the world to ran a coming to you live from the russian capital. this is the weekly on our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the latest news. welcome to the program . we begin in the russian border region of brianna for civilians have been killed and 2 others wounded after a village were shelby ukrainian forces. overnight. this voted 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. authority have declared a state of emergency in the area. meanwhile,

inca free guided rockets away targeting that 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 into position to make sure that it holds on as long as possible to me about 25 percent of my thinker remained suddenly you credit control coordinates, missiles, common multiple variance, armor piercing fragmentation, and sometimes with the dreaded thermo barrick warhead, google smith shall 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 hon hulu. 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. for my don't get so m bohlin on hold. we're moving forward. it isn't quick, but our losses and minimal. our objective is to cause the enemy maximum damage while minimizing all losses. depending on location, tactics and strategies vary wildly near by and backward. the pace is much quicker, much more savage and apparent radio intercept of ukrainian communications has sparked outrage in russia. character with under boy. oh boy. to 40. i did you know brand new beauty, old gunshot you yeah, i got it. okay. let me remind your 100 game here where we are in the battle already infamous for its viciousness dubbed the

meat grinder by key of officials. these foods 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, but 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.

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. many on leasing, and people were ignored. the military officials shut the doors and said nothing in all the front remains static. ukraine continues to prepare for its spring offensive . and russia, the force of flies, it's already formidable defenses. on both sides, pension ma'am, so head of a battle with may decide loose conflict more. i'd gazda of archie from modica that he had screeching saturday's drone. his hack on an oil depot terminal in russia's crimea was part of cave's preparations for its plan counter offensive that,

according to the ukrainian military southern command spokesperson, an explosion rocked the keyboard of service stobel on saturday morning. as a drought slammed into one of the fuel storage facilities in the port city, the blaze and gold about a 1000 square meters and destroyed for oil tanks, local authority said there were no fatalities or injuries. as a result of the incident. president zalinski claims ukrainian counter offensive to retake crimea is currently in the works and that russians will flee the peninsula even faster than from don bass reduction. and we definitely de occupying crimea. the russians will run away and will run faster than from dumbass. they do not understand that people in crimea will go out into the streets and will also drive his government out of crimea. however, some citizens from crimea say they don't walk up sullens case plans to retake the peninsula because they say they made their choice by voting to join russia back in

2014. yeah, cuz i am a native of don bassier. i came to crimea to flee the constant shelling by ukraine, and i know for sure that crimea will always be russian. oh and no one will change that. and if they try to, they will suffer greatly. and i am more than sure that the truth is on our side, and there will be a 2nd nuremberg trial for the key of regime. we had the word that i think the landscape is wrong and out of touch with reality. these people did not go to the polls for nothing. they made their decisions. no crimea has been russian from historic times, would have no one needs. this war which is currently being waged by him and his partner is from abroad. it is not too late to reconsider for, for him to take a step towards our common bright future with russia and no one else. my girls so much trouble. i think zalinski is wrong, in my opinion. still, no one wants zalinski in his army to come to crimea and try to change something. i lived here since 2015, and i saw how life in the infrastructure changed here,

where it is all the citizens of crimea voted during the referendum to join russia. therefore, zalinski is wrong, people voted to be with russia, and they will not welcome him with open arms. may well concerns in the west about the wagner grubs activities in africa have been soundly dismissed by the russian foreign minister. sir galeb rob said any country has a right to ask whoever it wants for protection. the diplomats comments came after the u. s. secretary of state condemned the russian private military company, claiming it leaves nothing but death and destruction is wake. we do have a deep concern about the engagement of the production group. the wagner group in saddam, it's in so many different countries in africa. an element that when it's engaged, simply brings more death and destruction because it's a lug nut at the s 4 wagner. it is a private military company. we have repeatedly talked about this with the central

african republic. molly, so done, and others whose government sterns of such services have the right to do so. if you are concerned about this, look on the internet for the number of private military companies in the u. s. u. k . and france. there are dozens of them. and many of them have worked on the borders with russia, including inside ukraine. labor in human rights lawyer, danko valley believes that washington is simply annoyed, that african countries are turning to wagner for help. instead of the us. it means to be a sovereign country. you can choose your friends. you can choose your economic partners and you can choose your military partners. i mean, every country has a right to do that. and while again, the west may be upset that they are not the ones being called upon. maybe they should do some self reflection and wonder why that is a because they've done a lot of harm with their military adventures. and i think again,

africa's learned from that and they're again looking toward to the east. now, north korea claims at southern neighbor along with the u. s. r provoking in nuclear war a cons after seo and washington unveiled a new military stance, including positioning and nuclear arms submarine near the peninsula, which is the most palestine and pay dearly further rising. the south koreans are protested against us nuclear weapons potential 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. form or

u. s. military officers thought bennett believes washington's efforts to provoke north korea only push it closer to strategic partnerships with russia and china. sending a submarine, a nuclear submarine, one of the 18 nuclear class, ohio class submarine is very, very dangerous. i say honestly, joe biden is trying to provoke some sort of us, a skirmish ignite a fire that he can then rally america into world war to 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 of taiwan, china and russia created a strong wall against the hedge amman. and the us knows that these 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 somewhere 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 the, in a multi polar world is many of speculated and buttress each other's independence from being attacked by the head to mon. in turkey, the presidential election campaign is giving up the 1st round of the vote. it has to be held no later than may 14th. one of the candidate 74 year old. come malkovich dar oh group stage

a mass rally in the city of mir. the incumbent. president tire ergo, on also held a similar event to gather support in the central square of the capital of her which accommodates several $100000.00 people. on saturday, the president has made it 1st public appearance and days amid favorite speculation over his health. he attended an aerospace exhibition is symbol earlier. the president also took part in a video conference with bottom here to inaugurate turkey is 1st nuclear power plant . it's being built with help from russia. at the ceremony, russian and turkish flags were raised alongside a white flag symbolizing peaceful add up r g 's. maria finish now has more on what was the largest nuclear construction project in the world. this year is so official, in the construction site of tortillas, 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 country 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 pro 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. on thursday, we heard a lot about how safe and powerful this future nuclear power plant will be. he's my report from the facility we are at the construction site of picky is 1st nuclear power plant act who you had in vicious multi 1000000000 dollar joint point between an car. right? moscow. the biggest, the ever a, the 2 countries long history off corporation name is also the largest nuclear construction site in the world in terms of generating capacity and 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, safety's among the top priorities as the deputy j, all director tells me the project meets all more than so called post fukushima requirements updated following the 2011 nuclear disaster in japan. how cool you is said to be resistance to earthquakes, cinemas, and even

a plane crash assembly the senior food for the earthquakes and 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, the highest and i'm your wife 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 call your nuclear power plant will have 4 power units. you can see them from here. the 1st one almost ready. number $23.00, and the 4th is barely visible. now the works 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 what is thumb bow 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 people, new apartment, buildings, education and medical facilities, transport and leisure infrastructure. the regions face has visibly changed with his 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 is key to success when linda will never give up friends, half way through keel ups, russia, russia lost her kia. this project is one of the biggest, okay, is working on in cooperation with its allied. the plant has been built in the country's 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 ya hm. of the pole plant is nearby, but we're not afraid why, because this area is not earthquake broan. so i don't think the nuclear power plant poses any threat to 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 gun battles are once again being heard in the capital of sudan. thus, despite current cease fire between the rival military factions being extended for another 72 hours, the rapid support forces, clay, they've defeated the army and one of the regions not far from the capital. and

cartoon itself, police were deployed to maintain security and claim navy arrested. more than $300.00 rebels, although paramilitary activists denied that. and in this footage, you can see r, s f fighters unsuccessfully trying to use an army howitzer. i'm in the ongoing finding some foreign states, including the u. s. u. k. saudi arabia and egypt have been desperately trying to evacuate their nationals as well as some sudanese families by on sea and air routes are all being used in an attempt to get civilians to safety. one of the main destinations for sidney is refugees, is in neighboring chad. according to the u. s. since the middle of april, more than 20000 people have already flood there where the more expected to follow. but those are still remain caught in the crossfire at home. now face the added problem, tribal disputes, local journalists, abdulla who's saying sent this. we're a, even after announcing the 5th, the slander william nathan sedan,

a clash between the offered support for the into violence. talk about conflict in their homes while the seat is struggling, wasn't already enough with all the put it canons warplanes see beautiful crisis on face of a collapse of the health system. but also people who sit on 5 themselves stuck in the media for tribal conflicts. now, resulting in moral deaths and injuries in an o. d wounded concrete, abdullah same, our teeth sued on hostile the power of the us dollar essentially makes it the world's biggest financial terrorist. that's the startling claim that ages richest banker. i genuinely feel the biggest financial terrorist in the world is the u. s. 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 the 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 claim, the greenback has dish report, proportionate power which negatively affects the world economy. as the american banking system provides no guarantee for access to reserves held in the u. s. economists are cash and off the leaves that the rapid growth of the indian economy provides an opportunity for the re fi to becoming new reserve currency. the dollar a vision is clearly happening. now the thought of data which you have del ahead, who in the, the gotten you the rule that is not good. now you see as guarantee, you also have to be implemented. great britain bonnet, communist indian 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 biggest economy and a result going to want to go to the doctor and see any currency which globally

central banks are one. it is hard to use for their products is of all those going to see which could be used for any international these international di, opposite national treatments. so definitely this, there are chances that indian currency, what become reserve currency. now there are many countries which are dealing with india in our own currency in the new b. so n a b is gaining prominence in the past one year in going to be as gain prominence . and it's going to be much more important. so going going ahead, there's a possibility, does a chance of india becoming use of guarantee india in, in repeatedly coming go much more popular currency than other nations from the global south have question the role of western backed financial institutions. argentina is vice president claims her countries agreement with the international monetary fund is actually worsening the economic crisis in the country. good, i'm probably, mike, if you know the great problem that argentine society has to day in politics and the

state and for businessman workers, intellectuals and artists is inflation. and i say and continued to maintain that the agreement that was signed with the international monetary fund is inflationary . because it's a can policy that is applied as a single issue or recipe to all countries in that the economic crisis and argentina has seen annual inflation doubling, while food prices shot up 35 percent last month alone. in the hopes of turning things around, the country negotiated a $57000000000.00 loan 5 years ago with the i a math at the time, it was the largest bail out package in the lenders. history economists are question not again believes to given the scale of the problems facing argentina, the i m f, should change its approach. i didn't go, i didn't do not need to move sympathetic approach. so my, i miss go see id meet the end of the day. it says international. wonderfully fine. so i think it needs so most empathetic look and this should she look at the problem?

the agenda. nice. going to see now says go to meeting to had been issues. i am facia, people in problem, sol, all who which got junk under forward be so high unemployment. so according to my assessment, i'm ref needs to be flexible. i'm of should be flexible with i shouldn't be no europe still buying oil from moscow despite all 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 brush and crude. india bought a record amount of russian crude. this man had around $2000000.00 barrels per day. that makes up almost half of india's total imports of the commodity. meanwhile, the south asian country is on track to become the largest supplier of fuel to

europe. similarly, many other countries that increase russian crude imports have become leaders of oil exports to the e u. n. g 7 countries, those western powers which impose sanctions against russia, have increased their imports from china, india, turkey at the u. e and singapore. meanwhile, the north african state of morocco has also increased its imports of russian oil, morocco imported 6 100000 barrels from russia. and all of 2021, but that's jump to $3000000.00 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 morocco then appears to be re exporting to you 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 that the sanctions have just loved the west to still buy russian oil, but at a higher price. in an indirect way, it actually becomes more mockery of the attempts to spanish and russia also. and it is a mockery of this whole concept of sanctions but, but you know, i'm sure it must be 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 that such are the apply and buying the purified and refined oil as such. so anyway, the refined petroleum and refined petroleum production will obviously be more expensive than crude petroleum. and crude product with petroleum products such if they are happy and ending more money products with any compared to appreciate the fact that there is a new chess world champion. and for the 1st time ever,

they are chinese doing their end to 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 ty, at.
