the, the, the, the us root test that is not afraid of an escalation of the conflicts in ukraine's . there are many people in america with clear minds who do not want to call the 3rd world war, in which there will be no winners. and the ongoing counts are offensive to the blacks, the greendale russian president, by the methods inmates with war correspondence to discuss the ukraine commonplace, also ahead of the thoughts he examines how rous and false is abra. cutting the crating offensive on the front lines of the guns, the public also this all this is called election interference and yet another attempt

to reagan steal a presidential election. donald trump dismisses indictments as he pleads not guilty to charges of mishandling classified documents. plus the 26th st. petersburg international economic forum kicks off in russia's, northern capital is over 17000 participants from 150 countries. it's and the major economic event they will not see. we bring you special coverage. the most go to the world. you are watching off the international wind speeds of scouts here with the top stores at 1 pm this wednesday. and then there are many people in the us who don't want to to get a 3rd world war, which will say no when is but that's according to the person he met for a q and a with russian war correspondence saying the west must stop bomb and you claim the

email was which is good. it is a mess has gone through offensive with the use of prepared reserves. the enemy had no success in any of the sections they had have it losses. all of their losses are close to the estimate of what is called catastrophic in terms of personnel. and the losses may be ones that can be healed or they may be permanent. shit. usually permanent losses are 25 percent, but ukraine's losses are almost $5050.00. but we have 10 times fewer casualties than ukrainian as for our vehicles, they last over $160.00 tags and over $360.00 armored vehicles of various types during that time of which we are short when you store the amounts of pharmacy used . inoffensive operations are significantly higher. at this point, the west has attempted to to warehouses of coal weapons for ukraine. only south korea and israel have supplies left to but soon those 2 will be gone. because there are over 160 thanks. 360 infantry fighting vehicles and that's not all the native

equipment. there is also, some of you have made hardware and far more to be costs are being destroyed. definitely. both bradley's and left parts furnace perfectly as we expected. 25 to 30 percent of the supply. the equipment has been destroyed. well, essentially we covered just about everything. you know, it takes touchstone just about everything related to the conflict, especially people, given the opinion, challenge and offensive it is under way now. and that is, by all accounts that isn't going as ukraine who it's allies, it's phones is plans to create and is meeting very serious resistance with c goodman tags and american apc's. and there is native vehicles funding in the fields of the i thought it was you regions and the region. so it is an especially volume period in the front logic queen has shaped its hopes on these counter offensive. they, they promise to break,

to move away to the black sea. so this is the see of as of but so far they have been in tardy, unsuccessful fuel also touched on the great and called her to say that the west and those behind the deal have refused or have been unable to meet the side of the bargain. so that is free, a russian shipments of grains and fertilize the ship. them so exports the board. hey, they haven't been able to do that. you praise is use the grading car to a car to the lab. ships are in green and agricultural goods to leave. you create as use that to launch attacks by drones and other methods against the against the russian vessels. liam, probably the guys who are fighting on the front line, don't understand why we need this grain deal. you see, we are doing it not for the sake of ukraine, but for effort, an enlightened american countries that have friendly relations with us. because the

green must be shipped to the poorest countries in the world. but as i have already said many times, out of the total volume of the ukrainian grain that has been shipped only a little over 3 percent went through the forest countries. while more than 40 percent is being shipped to wealthy, you countries such as a summit, i asked the president about a potential piece flat and all the countries offering to be data is in this mass of letting me put and said we, we, we never rejected. we've always wanted a piece for resolution negotiations. we must have a deal with beautiful community convenience customers. so you know, we have never given up on negotiations that could lead to a peaceful supplements during the negotiations. and this symbol we signed these documents with them. they just threw it away afterwards. that's all the us holds the key to a peaceful solution to the ukranian conflict. if they really want to negotiate, all they need to do is to stop supplying weapons to keep the rest protests that it is not afraid of an escalation of the conflict in ukraine. but there are many

people in america with clear minds who do not want to call the 3rd world war, in which there will be no winters to sleep, much with the pits in all sorts of stuff on the ukrainian counter offensive to join that meeting with the russian war correspondents, it's easy, it goes down. it examines how russian forces are holding the line all across the front line. ukraine's troops robust the counter offensive has commenced and rush. i sped as no effort to nip that in the bud. these gun the refutation of a sniper rifle, and now a $152.00 millimeter caliber packs, a might see punch the lies on the southern front. chief has so far, pendants, hopes on crushing russia's defensive lines there. but to no avail. he outside the

town of lisa jones, ukraine is pushing relentlessly to but all to a similar result. the big guns of the backbone of keeps offensive. so counter battery fire is vital for russia. this ma'am, that's our group is called sniper is because we were very accurate, the shooting hating and destroying, and we talk gets we even receive the challenge for the granting is for know to read to you, but we didn't accept it because they were very cunning and the key to success is to work as fast as possible to work in

a cohesive team. that's good. everyone must perform that you just quickly and not interfere with the others of school was suffered into don't pass artillery fire accounts for an overwhelming majority. it tends trenches into school which stuff it melts, my incentive rate's everything in its path here artillery has proven once again that it is indeed the god of war i make is done every proposing from the don't bass oxy. profiting from wall of the gym and alms producer wrong, that's all. have seen it. stock market value jump as the you continues to send weapons to ukraine, the company seo claim, and he expects to further boost the firms income ought to contribute to ritual mazda 60, the more evidence is rolling in of a decisive winner in the ukraine conflict. western weapons manufacturers, the ceo of leading german weapons, manufacturer,

ryan metal now says that his company is set to see its profit skyrocket. at least into 2025. i want to raise an income in 2025. should be budge 1500000000 years now the even 1700000000 years for 5 all the ation multiply that we've effect. so if 11 or 12 that gives you an order of magnitude. now this is a company that makes the leper to tax and munitions that have been given to you credit. so it's not surprising to see that the company share value has been on a general upward trend from around the end of january when the german government agreed to send the tags after much bullying from ukraine and its western allies. and then when image is started circulating of leper tanks getting blown up by russia. well, the share value just happen to take up yet again. time will tell whether this particular trend hold, but it seems that blowing up old weapons that were just sitting around in germany's garage is good for business. after all, the european union has used you tax payer funding to rev up the blocks military

industrial complex following in the footsteps of their us allies with billions of heroes, aaron bar to replace weapon stocks of european nations that donate their hand me downs to ukraine. it's kind of like a teenager who has an old clunker of a car and their parents say that if they give up that old piece of junk to their little brother, let's say his name is vladimir zalinski. then mom and dad, mr. or mrs. brussels will buy their other kid a brand new ferrari and ryan metal. c e o is basically a meeting that you create is just one big cash cow. mazda of elk grove is due to the terrible in ukraine. no countries. europe is well prepared, engaged in regressing visit. governments have understood that, which is why the month full of products is arising. the performance of the weapons are kind of a moot point when they're reduced to a steaming pile of rubble, a fine missile strikes. but the weapon that needs to be replaced is more profitable than one that doesn't. the slovak you and prime minister also dropped

a truce bomb recently about the racket, the b u has created by incentivizing european countries to full. i do crane with weapons warehouses across europe or m t o armies will very stuck in a weapon system and warehouses. and this is a 5 to 10 year jo. today i'm your nation for ukraine is bought through a centralized european procurement system. and if we don't produce it in slovakia, provide an income and jobs for the country. it will be produced in a neighboring country and it will still get where it needs to go. it sounds like he's saying that the e u has created a welfare program for weapons manufacturers who otherwise would be out on the streets, begging for money with a $10.00 can and an eye patch. and now you countries like slid back yard, getting out their sharp elbows to make sure they get the biggest slice of the pie that the you is serving up. now, it would be nice. so if europe was also interested in where these weapons actually ended up once they were out of sight, we keep hearing about how western nations have committed to helping ukraine's

defense, but don't want western weapons used against russia. now that seems to be easier said been done. belgium is under fire right now for weapons that appeared to have ended up in russia's belgrade region. when you look at the photo, so you can see that it's on athens car. does it come from equipment in belgium? delivered this part of it say to drain on monday. i send to lots of tomorrow, you can in defense constable. it's asking for clarification. i hope that at some point we'll know for sure you're free and present volume here. zalinski keeps asking for more and more gifts of weapons from the west, like a kid who breaks his toys 10 seconds after, on wrapping them on christmas morning and says, the tax payer's ultimately paying the bill. and his benefactors are seeing record profits as a result. well, they're only too happy to oblige as well. the form is secure with a senior pentagon security policy, unless michael mullis for he says the may jobs manufacturers have a vested interest in the war and ukraine. we're seeing this war continuing because

of that continued lobbying by the, by the major manufacturers, the under secretary defense for a policy in the defense department in very recent days as warrant that supplies are depleting so quickly that we may have to switch over to a more of a war time production, that is, that would be a major decision that would be hotly debated in congress. and i would really think that that because they would have to be paid. we can't keep up with this with this kind of a level of destruction of weapons and keep up with that and supply indefinitely. if you have the united states wants to continue the conflict. and ukraine seems to think, based upon the rhetoric he hears from the politicians are these various nations. he's encouraged to try and continue. and that's settled this war once and for all. and that's the problem we're running into. it's going to take a ground swell from

a populations in these european countries and in the united states to say enough of that because there is no rhyme or reason for it doesn't use the 26 st. petersburg international economic form has kicked off invoices, northern capital on him, on oxy will be bringing use special coverage throughout the week. the us on the 17000 people are set to attend to vs biggest economic events. our team is hard at work at the heart of the foreign and the opposite unit own neil outline to the key aims of the st. petersburg. academic form. 2023. a very warm welcome to space. at 2023 and this and petersburg, international economics for them. people have been streaming in all morning for day one of the influential event, why they're coming here at people from more than

a 100 country delegates from those countries as well as you've got thousands of participants here talking about the big global issues affecting the world. and of course, at russia now the focus this here is on, at the emerging world, the global side is a big issue, of course, in terms of at feeding the world in terms of, of getting those renew ties between russia and that area as well. just to give you a sense, there is a move away from, from e u countries from nate. so towards, at the middle east, of course i mentioned the global south africa asia. it starts on central america as well. big number of guests coming at for that. the sectors here that's being spoken about, you're talking about the i t at true isn't financial. of course a lot of folks around here at talking about how they can develop with the rest of

the world as well. and i agree business, pharmaceutical industry. so you can imagine for the next 4 days until saturday, there is a lot to discuss and we're going to keep the discussion team going for just joining me is the host of ortiz world, a part r t corresponded at sound that boy, i've sent it a lot going on today. business is the theme, but the overriding at issue to solve written developments for the for them can you maybe break stuff done? why stop is the, the big feet? because i think around the world, there is a sense of exhaust trends from the way things have been going up until recently. these uni polar western dominate. it is modelled that cruise privileges benefits primarily to itself. and we see these big development and it's all about this here . but i mean, i think we've seen it for the last day care so that many countries want to develop

on their own terms. and they want to that own piece of the international pie. and they want to see the world not as a sort of melting. paul melted to america, there were some specifications, but rather as a mistake, where each society, each country can afford that own solutions develop according to its own, to their own paces or according to that own cultural specific ations. but the discussion wouldn't be not about what those pieces need to be, how they should look like whether they should be like the west or rather, you know how we can exist in a mutually beneficial in synergetic manner. and this form is still pretty much international because many parts of the world are represented who mentions latin america. you mentioned the africa asia has huge representations. russian regions, various russian regions are representative here. there's going to be a lot of discussions, a lot of debates today, a lot of contacts made as well between and not just international countries,

but particularly russian as well. so for those russian companies, it's perhaps a don't thing step into perhaps the territories that they weren't so will favorites, but that's becoming more and more the common themes. so that's going to be something that's going to be of a foremost importance going forward. actually, day one always has been about local development and about local businesses. small, medium size, big businesses. but this time around, russian businesses have no choice but the to develop and depend on themselves in order to move forward. as you know, russia is under very significant the there western sanctions which forced many companies to cod, the watson connections. but they are looking for ways to develop here in russia and also to establish new connections with the rest of the world with africa, with asia, with many other regions, but do it in a different way in

a way that respects local populations and leaves. and, you know, benefits and profits here. russian entrepreneurs, businesses have gone abroad, often they, they've, they've gone into industries. they're not because of the sanctions. perhaps it was forced on them i think was plate so was that necessity is the mother of all invention. that money, that knowledge is coming back. no interruption. what, what's the opportunities for the world's biggest country, but something like that. i don't really know which, but also capital people uh, new ideas. uh, yeah. is that, you know, it was a hard choice for many of the businesses and some of the businesses here have to choose whether they want to develop here domestically or whether they have to go abroad. then the was made that choice, very sharp, but a lot of companies that certainly most of the companies representative here and made a decision that, you know, russia still have lots of potential and it's not just some assets potential. i mean,

this is a huge range of country, not only in terms of minerals, you know, oral gas and metals, but also human potential and human capital. i mean, we, russia is leading in many uh, technological areas. it's a country with very advanced public thinking, a logical services. you know, it has lots of people for working and trying to get a substitute, some of the products and services that we use to get from abroad in our developing them here. and, you know, developing them uh, with the potential of exporting them around the world. moving on to other news now, more than 100 people have reportedly died in the nigerian states of car, off to the boats comp sized such a mess. corporation is still ongoing. the incidents occurred in the west of the country near the town of taking on the news, a river. the victims which to include women and children were returning from a wedding in the neighboring states on monday morning. local media size,

the state's police, both of us and is as the 103 people died and more than 100 were rescued from the boat exposed, say that such incidents are not uncommon in the region when many use of party maintained on sometimes overloaded, vessels for transports. the former us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to $37.00 judges over at ledgent mishandling of classified documents. he says the case is complicated against him to sabotage of the upcoming election. the width is the most evil and hey, this abuse of bell or the history of our country. very sad thing to watch. it corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty. right . in the middle of a presidential election, this is called election interference, and yet another attempt to rig and steal a presidential election. more importantly,

it's a political persecution, joe biden will forever be remembered as not only the most corrupt president of the history of our country, but perhaps even more importantly, the president are together with a band of as low as thugs, misfits and marks is tried to destroy american democracy, i'm here out in front of the court house, where in the last few hours we had donald trump pleading not guilty to 37 different counts of miss handling classified government documents. and at this point, uh, we have now heard from donald trump and many of his supporters and many republicans in congress who see this is simply an effort to meddle in the upcoming 2024 elections. donald trump made his court appearance. there were thousands of donald trump supporters outside the court house. and then donald trump returned to new jersey where he gave a message on the indictment to his supporters. they want to distract from the real

espionage and the real crime. so let's use president trump to do so. let's go out and let's indict president trump so they don't talk about the $5000000.00 bribes. remember, they impeached me for asking the simple question about vitamins grew up dealings in ukraine and now they see that once again i was right. i was right, i was totally right. joe biden. and the radical left can take foreign bribes and be totally elected republicans off. you must finally get tough. you've got to get tough. you got to get tough and you gotta show when you arrest your leading political opponent, we no longer have a democracy. you have a nation that as we are, is in serious, serious decline. we have a nation in serious that lie. now in his message, donald trump said they want to take away his freedom. he said they want to take away my freedom because they, i won't take away yours. uh,

that was one of the memorable quotes from his message to supporters and many are linking the timing of this indictment with the new revelation about the biden's family and their alleged corrupt dealings in ukraine. and the revelation that the f b, i seems to of covered up and protested that investigation from being made public. and there's a lot being res, now, by republicans in congress about dividing family and their dealings and connections in ukraine. so many are wondering if this is not only and a half or 2 metal and prevent donald trump from being successful in the 2024 election. which folds indicate he would win if it were held today. but on top of that, many are looking at this and asking the question as to whether or not this is done to distract from the revelations that are now surfacing about dividing family and their connections and the efforts to conceal those things. so at this point,

there is a lot of cynicism. there were many of donald trump supporters out in front of the court house today, protesting donald trump was greeted by many of his supporters in new jersey at a rally where he just gave that rousing message. there are many people to look on this as a dark day for american democracy, where it appears the department of justice is being weaponized against one candidate in order to secure the re election of another. last our case against the president for the president, trump is on the way a republican senate has accused washington of double standards by ignoring accusations against president joe biden. the money that's a series of incriminating audiotapes to be made public. before last all possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between m and a 100 by, according to the 1023. the 4 national possessors to audio recordings of phone calls between him and then vice president joe, by these recordings were allegedly cap as any sort of insurance policy for the,

for national in case that he got into a tight spot. congress still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says. that's why it's important that the document be made. public. busy out on necessary redactions for the american people to see it's alleged the recordings that's under investigation link biden through the sucking of the ukrainian prosecute to you as president is also accused of threatening to withdrawal. $1000000000.00 in us, some of that you a to, to have investigations and through the ukrainian or company there isn't a waste on one. so it was on the board of directors. when a bull, it's an immediate and the legit incidents took place when biden was vice president . let's be i thought i'd say christa ray is also one of the spotlights. he's accused of heavily censoring the unclassified, but the incriminating types, the house committee on oversights and accountability threat since the old rate and

contempt of congress of the ignored it. subpoena salt show house. the most vague believes trumps. indictments was pushed to cover up the only cations of jo biden's, corruption scandal. a good timing of the announcement of the indictment was about covering up the news that broke on the same day that you know, there were documents that existed in and phone records that existed phone calls that allegedly have joe biden. and his son hunter talking to arisen officials about getting the prosecutor in the ukraine at the time. fired. and allegedly they got paid $5000000.00 a piece for doing that. so that would, i think the timing was designed to get that out of the way and make sure that that by the story wasn't covered at all. but i think ultimately this indictment was gonna happen. they've been working on it for a long time. if there were is in fact, bribery that took place. i think it puts a whole different uh, take on, on the uh,

our support for ukraine. it calls a lot into question. and not the least of which is uh, is joe biden's uh, a survival in the presidency as far as now you're being impeached and, and removed from office possibly. so i think we have to keep an eye on that. that's how the world is looking this wednesday lunch time. that's all from me. it's a scope of my colleague, rachel blevins will be here in the hot seats and just off off and i was time say today's top stories and it's the exact same as the company, the the,

[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the

hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i am peter live out nato's ukraine. proxy war against russia is not going well thus far. too much anticipated counter offensive appears to be going nowhere. and nato itself is deeply divided on the issue of ukraine joining the alliance. the by the ministration must be wondering if it was all worth it, the prospecting nato's war. i'm joined by my guess, jack ras, most in san francisco. he's an associate professor of beacon nomics at st. mary's college as well as author of the scourge of neo liberalism in norton. we have kyle and so long to tease the opinion editor at anti war dot com, as well as co host of conflicts of interest. and here in moscow we have annual career go. he is a moscow based american political analyst. all right, gentlemen crossed off girls in effect, that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate kyle, let me go to you 1st and norton, you know,
