documents concerning its security, and surprisingly, no one reacted to it. this is the typical arrogance of the west, which rejects the opinions of others and whose policies are generally conducted according to lobbying efforts, or are motivated by long term strategic interests to get what they want. as is the case of russia, this isn't about protecting ukraine. it is just unexcused they're using to play on a motions with the real points i think is that russia has huge and limitless resources. and the west's main goal is to pull system, which in fact is few tile western europe doesn't have oil or gas, no, rear metals, no cold, no resources or many other things that are important for the future of the world. the russia and china will increase mutual trade turn over to over

200000000000 dollars this year and even exceed this target with growing oil and energy exports. the latest announcements come as russian prime minister mic, i mean, we spend embarks on the state visit to china needs was chinese premier lee trying later today. he is also set to meet with chinese presidents choosing, paying for reading store for the question that i am confident that this year we will not only fulfill the goal, said by the hands of our states to increase our mutual traits are nowhere up to $200000000000.00 ahead of schedule, but also exceed the stall good. russian ranks 1st and order supplies to china and exports of natural coal. gas and electricity are growing. let's now go live to our to corresponding donald quarter. don, good morning. what more can you tell us about this visit and the significance for both countries in the morning c, a relo?

well, i'm here right now in beijing, china where russia's prime minister just met with the premier of china's state council and another of other actually high ranking chinese officials as well. and i just wanna talk about a little bit about the purpose really of this to day visit that me shows didn't, has made here to china. and it's really about deepening bilateral economic cooperation between moscow and beijing, which is already quite expensive. i mean, i'm interesting, as we just heard, talked about how the trade volume between russia and china is expected to exceed 200000000000 dollars this year with russia continuing to be china is number one, oil supplier and natural gas. and coal are also increasing from russia, the volume of that to china as well. and this is all part of aisd relationship. it me system called based on mutual respect for each other's interests. now, later on today, like we heard, there is expected to be

a meeting between mature student and the chinese president. teaching, paying little is known about what is going to be discussed there, but it is definitely a very highly anticipated meeting that we're going to be able to bring you the details on here from beijing. i'm sure we'll hear more r t corresponded donald porter. meanwhile, guitars energy minister says europe got lucky last winter and was saved from an energy collapse by warm weather. also warning that the worst is yet to come unless brussels overhauls it's green agenda. the economy start churning back up in 24 and you have that easily just said i get into winter. i think i think the worst has yet to come. if they don't realize that then have a proper plan and sit down with, with us as an oil and gas companies and the demonize them and, and, you know, the attitude will kick in and i think we'll have a sense of a solution. so the big question, booming over europe,

is whether we're still going to be hounded again here for the latter part of the year over our shower time, air conditioning and heating use and all signs point to yes. even the head of friends energy drive, all he told the french press last month at the same conservation precautions will have to be taken as last year, even though he's optimistic. he says, because europe is tapping norway and the us for energy. yeah. at several times the price of what you're used to pay for russian energy though, just to give you an idea of the kind of social friction all of this is causing. i was at my local gym here in paris today, where the summer weather is arriving really quickly and management is in a stand off, you could say with the clientele as a result of them refusing to drop the temperature in the gym below 19 degrees celsius because they want to save on air conditioning energy costs. remember last year that you ordered limitations on how hot or cold you could keep facilities. and

then many countries, including friends, actually implemented that with legislation. well, now there's a lot of confusion as to what still applies and what doesn't and who have to apply it, whether it's everyone or just ginger offices. so, you know, beyond not the problem now, it really goes to also how much energy there is or will be next winter and to how much people are going to pay for that supply going forward. as french president, in, under, in excellent said the age of abundance is over. and of course he said that as he sends you training, president varner zalinski to the g 7 in here. a shame on plane funded by the french tax payers like it was an uber ride. the 2 best pros couldn't even be bothered to car pool or plain pool, but it sounds like hum, gary, and prime minister victoria, or bon, who put his foot down on the fire. who is it, seemingly endless? you tax payer cash flowing into ukraine as aid and is also rejected. and yet another round of anti rushing you sanctions is making some enemies now within the

establishment for standing up to the for put upon european tax there. who's getting a manifestly for return on their investment? my position is that the looking good? the only thing looking does, if it goes looking at the surroundings, looking at the fact that the need to is not ready to send troops, it's obvious that that is know the story for uh, are you quit for the premiums on the battlefield? whoever. right? then whoever not, you likely describe the situation that's frustrating way that you can. but the question is not with the tool, depression is what you would be the next morning. feel the next morning. the fax is that more and more people will die. yeah, the bottom line is that while the western establishment is picking sides over the ukraine conflict and trash talking russia like it's the other team in a football game, there are just people dying and ukraine,

but also apparently in europe, according to the western press. last year the economy is predicted in november that the inability to pay for expensive heating costs during even a mild winter could result in tens of thousands of deaths. and now let's say that may indeed have been the case over the last winter, and that it may have even done more damage than during the coping. 19th, pandemic or bond is also explain why he sees the use anti russian sanctions as ineffective to go some field, we introduce the sanctions. and 3 years later, russia has built up its own agricultural food system used in those 3 years. it built them up to such an extent that if hungry wanted to explore products there today. it either wouldn't succeed or would find it much more difficult than before the introduction of sanctions to it was a fatal mistake to underestimate the adaptability of a country including a nation as powerful as russians. as i can see, the russians adapting to the situation created by the european restrictions.

sometimes it does so basically saying that the sanctions that just created more russian resiliency to a point where it's becoming so self sufficient that the you could find itself squeeze that of any potential future market considerations. meanwhile, europeans are wondering when inflation and energy prices are going to go back down again. and the only response they're ever getting from their leaders. if anything at all, is that they should feel good about their short showers. i guess after dumping river of sweat under their treadmill at a gym heated to 90 degrees celsius or why? well, because it all makes russian president vladimir to me mad that they're saving so much energy. is that still this been line even though energy isn't even coming from russia anymore? not too many people seem to be asking that question, at least not among the people running the show now to to or to

where tensions are running high ahead of the presidential run off elections. we're bringing you all the latest updates in our special coverage here on our t the strongly believe that we will continue to serve our nation for the next 5 years or so to me, we will absolutely, absolutely. when these elections in the 2nd round, every one will say the we're the only 4 days to the runoff election. we're jump type ergo, one's main election. rival, him all kill it. star lou is holding raleigh's to gain much needed support from his electorate. he once again vowed to send refugees back to their home countries within 2 years, despite it being a popular sentiment, it did not win him the support of former presidential candidates,

the non 0 one who asked as supporters to give their votes for irma one on monday yeah, seen a 10 explains why a georgina is heading to a winner take all presidential run off on may 28th and the 2 remaining candidates, red zip, type out of the one and kim, i'll coalition total or in a tight race as both parties fell short of the 50 percent needed to went to alliance candidates in on all one's endorsements of presidents or the one could be the boost, the incumbent needs to keep payment on, cut off jobs that king maker say no, no one has clearly stated why he chose to back out a lot, you can just to the we have health negotiations with 3 supply up already gone and come all keeley starter lou. i declare we will support the people's alliance candidate reese of tie up are already gone in the run us. i invite our voters who voted for us in the 1st round to support mr or to gone. i would like to underline that we have expressed our principles, the values we defend,

and our red lines without any bargaining engagements, commitment or demand based on no one's red lines are the ones people's alliance was the closer of the 2 political blocks to his ideals. most prominently or the one has a firm stance towards the best and a tough position against terrorism, and the expectation that he will prepare a roadmap for the return of syrian refugees for deciding factors for alonza endorsements. the alliance candidates fell to the outside support for a coalition total from the h. d p. a pro curtis political party was a deal breaker for the national list. politician with elections just days away on support for our the one has dealt a critical blow to the hopes of opposition candidates came out to the shuttle or the one needing only less than one percent to win a new 5 year mandate has placed himself at the full position with the endorsement of on and the 5.2 percent vote,

he secured in the 1st round. the all position now has a tall mountain to climb. as turkish voters prepared to catch the bell is for the 2nd time later this month. just and again archie estoppel, the chinese americans continue to be on the receiving end of rising hate crimes and racial bias in the united states. but the fbi i in homeland security officials, chose to focus on the chinese communist parties, a legend threat to the country. instead. the threat from china is complex and asked the ccp is actively trying to undermine the economy and security of the united states. threats in vulnerabilities to the homeland pose by the people's republic of china and counter evolving threats from the ccp now and into the future. so once again, we have members of the us congress meeting on capitol hill to discuss a supposed threat from beijing. the notion of

a vast chinese conspiracy against our american way of life and precious bodily fluids never seems to get old. however, you will notice a certain theme and the comments of some of the lawmakers. it is important to be clear here that our adversary is the ccp, not the chinese people or people of chinese defense living and working in the united states. i'm very glad mr. durham that you made it very clear that this hearing should not be about chinese americans that could not sit in this hearing. if this was an attack on asian americans, chinese americans, and we have seen the rise and hatred of been defensive much. well, that's probably because the world has noticed what has been going on over the past few years. americans of chinese does that have been targeted on ethnic base is innocent. people have had their lives destroyed. scientists have decided it would be better to work elsewhere. the department of justice is china initiative ended up being a big disaster. embers of congress even came together for a letter of

a sense denouncing racial bias. but yet the anti china hysteria continues, perhaps a bit more cautiously. we now have a lot past in florida. banning chinese citizens from purchasing property the new law for bids. any non us citizen who's domiciled is china from purchasing land law also forbids land purchases by citizens of cuba, venezuela or other so called kind threes of concern and the american civil liberties union expressed its concerns about this new law. governor descent has presented no evidence. the chinese buyers of property in florida are agents of the chinese communist party, or that they have cause harm to national security, the loss, stigmatizes them in their communities, and costs a cloud of suspicion over any one of chinese descent who seeks to buy property in

florida. meanwhile, polls show that among asian americans, there is an increasing fear of racial targeting and hate crimes. the antique china atmosphere has heard a lot of us citizens of asian descent to now fear for their safety. the hearing clearly show that america does have some big problems. the ones on display, as a hearing on capitol hill, certainly did not come from chinese communist or from any other country for that matter. caleb and archie, new york, poland has brushed off a diplomatic spot between cab and warsaw over the whole india massacre opting to focus on russian actions. here's what the polish deputy foreign minister had to say on the matter. sometimes there are words that should be left unsaid. we are not in a situation where it would be appropriate to issue and they also made them to ukraine. security is much more important today, though, so reduced polish,

recreating relations to history alone, often ignore the fact that the scale of russian crimes against poland was even greater to virginia. massacre has been the cause of long term grievances between ukraine and poland. between 19431945, the ukrainian insurgent army conducted an ethnic cleansing campaign in german occupied poland. massa cream up to 100000 poles, mainly women and children. but the ukrainian conflicts saw a reproach meant between cab and warsaw. meanwhile, the scandal over the massacre started on may 19th when the polish foreign ministry spokesman told polish media on the lack of awareness among ukrainians regarding the massacre. he also swam present as a lensky, saying he should do more on the issue. i think that on the ukrainian side

and here i will be very diplomatic. there is still a lack of understanding as this is a very important issue for poles at the moment. the ukrainian state did not do this, but presidents the landscape should take more responsibility for ukraine. ukraine's ambassador to warsaw reacted in tweets that were later deleted, saying any attempt to impose on ukraine. what we must know about our common path is unacceptable and unfortunate. we spoke to george from wiley, senior research fellow at the global policy institute, who says that history is being swept under the rug and mid today's anti russian rhetoric. is this the old? is it for ripping atrocities that were committed by monday or on the own day and the u. b. a. all of that as being well known. i mean this not as all the history. there's other, there's no mystery about this. and yet, the western powers, the, you need to have deliberately overlooked it,

much as they overlook the rehabilitation of the, the ss in the number of the baltic states. because they, you and may so have one project. let me let you know that they are not, they don't have any other projects that were of these. what are there other projects that will failing, but the one project is to keep everybody on board by hating russia, so they don't want any distractions from that. and so all of this history is simply swept under the rug and they do is do so by claiming well, this going to be of any good news because the landscape as of june and they keep repeating this and repeating it. but of course, it doesn't matter very much because if the people around the landscape are all in a worship as of monday or then this is the page team that is in the lineal descend from from but there was and, and even the whole thing of you to, well he's a jew,

so he can't be a nazi, it doesn't really make very much sense. you can always remove certain aspects of an 80 ology, but maintain the other aspects of the video allergic. and so the ukranian fascist the dollar gtda dollar geo button. there is still consistent in its a hatred and home is sidled genocidal hatred that they hold for the russians. ok. that's a rep on the hour and coming up. how much has been sacrificed on the conflict, and you brain especially for you freight in the discussion next on, crossed off. thanks for joining in. they close the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions

pictures. design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the the hello and welcome to cross side for all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. why isn't there any public debate on the competition? ukraine? why have the leads embrace to war and shun negotiations? where's the anti war movement?

and more importantly, how is all of this helping you crane? and it's people, the cross talking the west and you create i'm joined by my guess michael, my loop and rest. and he's a former pendant guns senior security policy analyst in winnipeg. we have our freeman. he is called director of the international manifesto group as well as a researcher at the university of manitoba in canada and in oxford. and we crossed to roger mackenzie. he is an international editor. i gentleman comstock rose and i think that means you can jump anytime you want and i always appreciate it, michael, let me go to you 1st here, i'm titling this program, sacrificing ukraine. i propose there was a very interesting article in new york times a few days ago titled the u. s. should be a vote force for peace in the world. well, i think we should all agree with that. but one of the most, the most important take away in the context of ukraine and deletes is this sentence

here, 2 sentences in diplomacy. well, one must attempt strategic empathy seeking to understand one's adversaries. this is not weakness. it is wisdom. and i can think of a better way to encapsulate the madness that we're all experiencing, michael, but we're just saying the opposite. and we've been that more for 22 years, plus. and i don't see any ending to it any in terms of the united states. but it's, it's, it's driven by ideology, it's also driven by a hoax. and, and it's a hoax that the democrats have to live with. and since the united states remains the super power of the world, whatever it does says, or breathes a or thinks that's what rules these days. and it's a, it's a and we're seeing this now with, uh, uh, we're seeing rebellion to this notion in the world by other countries such as the bricks. now the se,

in the countries that want to divest themselves of the us dollar. and that's just simply a matter of how other countries of the world are sick and tired of the us constantly at war a, uh, what the noise in their economies and, and driving and, and driving the world into a constant frenzy on the brake of a default on our end and, and also depression on there. and so it's, it's, something's got to give and, and we're seeing that the, the, the press in the united states as, as the in lock step with this administration. they're actually controlled by this administration. and when you have something like this and, and you don't have a posing voices, and they're being kept down because we've weaponized their own law enforcement. and it's, it's, it's a sad state. and so at least other countries are beginning to rebuild. and i would like to see more of that. yeah. well, and i mean, that's what, that's a good segue to what i wanted to ask about, you know, in my introduction, you know,

where's the anti war movement? i mean, this is an elite project with, you know, people they, there's no debate, i mean, i remember, you know, with the ad they run up to the iraq war. there was a lot of debate that was a lot of protesting, that was i and, and it was on a national television. it was in the newspapers. eventually these people got shut down, but it did happen. there were protest, particularly in europe here. oh, what is happening? so just because of the internet and you can control what people see in here, alan? yeah, well, i think the basic problem is that we don't live in a democratic society in the west. now that's a truism, right? it could be a trophy, and so you just saying that, but in the following sense, there is a systematic sentiment of opposition to the will in the west. if you look at the polls, they're all between 20 and 50 percent of the population. in some cases, even though i have such as of trip, who don't want to, well why don't negotiations, they find no expression in any problem entry potty. that means that 20 percent of

the population have no representation and ball, and then they would be 30 and pays the liberties call them and they would be 20 in the us, solomon. they would be 50 or so in the canadian call them. and god knows how many in the gym and call them. and if there was a real representation. now what's happened? and the reason for this is the policies were the original idea of ecology is it represents what the people want to say. they've been turned into the opposite. they tell the people, well, the room is welcome to do that. she's very clear. let me give you just one example . there was a very big group for them, pays in the british light of policy. and we know how big the support for that. so to view is because of the but the jeremy cold and go in the last election. and they wanted to assign a declaration, calling for peace that's of calling for peace issued by this stuff. the woman, they were told that if they did that they would be expelled from the light about

that kind of thing. you look at the way the democratic elections are conducted. i mean, i'd be very interested to see what other people think of the candidacy of robot kennedy who has come out to negotiations and how he will fail, but he's already coming under the full. so media. yeah. well he's, he's a perfect example of how you crush someone. i mean, i mean, a man of that kind of political pedigree. it's really amazing here. let me go to roger here. you know, i've written kind of echoing what alan was saying. we had the foreign minister of germany, angelina, better bach. she said she didn't care with her constituent style when it came to ukraine. that's a the, a, that's actually exactly what alan said here. but you know what, roger, what's really pathetic is that they get away with it. okay. and you know, i, for months and months and months meeting up to this complex, every single program i recorded here on cross lock on r t war and everyone, a conflict is coming. and when it came, what, what was the result? not that i was right, is that i was censored and i was deleted from youtube. this,

these are the people were dealing with roger. i think it's really easy to have this discussion and i kind of very global, no sense. hi, when, when actually, when you look at the support for this war across the world, most of the world does not support um what, what the us and the allies a doing fine and to the last drop of ukrainian blood. basically, most people don't support obama. and so i think when we're talking about whether or not there's a um, does that make sense a piece across the world. we shouldn't just talk about it in terms of why the u. k. german a, the us, what's going on that, and even then actually that, that is a and certainly in the you, k is a very vibrant and sequel movement still in here. well, they don't get is

a publicity, because that's within the control of that. and the liberals that control the media and so on. and organizations of the media atlas, progressive media outlets don't get the same attention bus actually across the world. there's a movement pace taking place. there is massive. my people want to say a negotiated settlement, the understands the security concerns of russia, the underst times that the, the way that the us is trying to have yet to know the proxy will and have this is just one more in a step towards the next come slate gray, china the tie, one bullet st, but broad sir, you speak the words of wisdom and reason. okay. and national interest here. let me go back to, to michael here. and that's a problem here. so we, it's meal liberalism, roger is absolutely right, but it's an, a messianic, neo liberalism. but what they do is it's being created into a binary,

any kind of negotiation is, is negotiate and the go sharing with the devil. that's how they've framed that it's a binary. that's why we're never going to get anywhere until that the, the, the last soldier dies on the field. michael. well, hi. so i am seeing the world reacting. we are, people are beginning to really react against the us led unipolar world order. and we're seeing that it's just being accelerated now because of ukraine. ice 1st saw begin when the trump dropped out of the j. c p. o way you knew right then and there, there was a benchmark moment. i was in a ron when it happened. and you could tell me the whole attitude, the whole atmosphere just change that we are in for a big change. and that's what's beginning to happen. now, and we're seeing the saw, the, the saudis, and, and the you a switching over a away from the us dollar. i mean, all of this is trending. but to get to your point i, i'm working with

a group of retired generals who wants to bring peace school, say more, they've had enough of it. and, and, and there has to be an alternative. but you're also dealing with idea logs in this country under the, by the administration and then, and they are still leading. and that's uh, victoria newland and, and, and by and himself who, who actually prompted and, and, and encouraged the crew in 2014 in ukraine because they see they see ukraine as the last vestige of ultimately trying to contain russia. if not, bring about regime change there and it is, it is a dying effort. you see a tory newland on, on the air talking about the encouraging the bombing of, of, of crimea. i mean, this and droning crimea, i mean this, this is going on and on until we can get rid of this administration. but now that's in question.
