video was more than that before the use of these extra ordinary measures is only possible if there is a direct with the wrench to russian use. net. we existence, george washington state code. so if that happens, then we will use old forces available to us. the old method, these going to need to count it, but let me remind they're usually once again is that the only nation in the world that use nuclear weapons against unknown nuclear, you can see it was the united states of america that use nuclear weapons 2 times against prison, japanese towns of hiroshima and nagasaki. braddy, if these do the americans believe that they have the right to do that. so they created the precedent, waiting for you to read. you said there was a cover letter in the matter of it, just you know, sorry you thought you feel that i feel that some i pressure you to say something. this is my job. now let's move towards some more nicer topics. could you

please tell us about the position of russia monthly for 10 top countries. so me, you can nomic kelly according to some estimate as russia is in the 6th place. do you believe that tricia will retain this position? definitely. and now the coming years. so we will stay there. yeah, it says the 6 largest economy in the world in terms of a nice buying power factor to at least so it in to us, china, japan, india, germany. yeah. and then russian with to for the installation. number 650. i go to, so usually it's in this, indonesia is also uh, stripped to come in nearing the lease, some of the top economies world to use the inside and such as we are now observing

to very interesting shifts in the coming by economy globally in fact. so we've just heard to present our frontier. yes. think about the population, but the economy of all jimmy's also rising and that, i mean, well russia is covered and claim number 6 like magically funds. but so you can let me just get that. i've also talked about some extra economics submitted thing about, let's see jessica, the way we estimate. so russia's development. so for me in the future, and i'm confident that we will certainly say it's list number 6 and we will see a list of um tv. you're going to be as click on, let me see if anything happens, you get to my products this that goes well. so if, if some negative processes continue, some negative develop, some of those developments continue in the topic on them is of the world. they have

rising unemployment, they have a growing inflation rates. they may reach about 5 percent of inflation, for example, even share money by the end of this. yeah. it's, you know, i believe it's actually 7 percent right now in germany. it was mentioned maybe just a general in general and going into europe, it's 5 percent, but it's good for germany. so that's, that's just quite unexpected for them to see a 7 percent inflation. so maybe of that happens to russia will rise even higher. for the affiliate on the west coast was a quote for the age of a sudden shortage. you've offered a highly skilled labor force. you've been talking about that a we talked about the mattress that as a can to address this program. one important matter here is that there is a certain amount of people, especially highly skilled professionals in the area of information technology is decided to leave russia. because once the special mills we have the ratio started

to work with you before i get to hand cruising very frequently and not just in most, okay. but also redid from the western press that those people are actually coming back. is that the case? and if it is the case, or do you welcome those people back to the country should as well just sort of i just meant so the president of the united plan, the roots, we spoke about that too. i know that a lot of russians currently leave and work session by the way, e many more to our leaving armenian deserve agend and catholics then is becca, stand on the other neighbors of russian. i don't see anything here with them. we didn't chat about that, but i'm working on something to them. if they want to leave that work, then it's one thing to leave this illusion. what in, in, in, in moscow, one of the best cities of the world with all of its infrastructure and social, uh,

benefits center, social well being. but know you're living something else today and what i'm, what else entirely. it's one thing to leave who is the way us in a place where you're surrounded by people speaking your language and practicing your culture and to lead around people, you know who, you know? the they are your friends, your relatives method images, which tv people you see from time to time in the streets. and it's something from very different and that's highlight. so if you leave the goal, if in a foreign languages and so like like i know that it leaves and 50 percent of all people select from shifting each and every time. so who do i think it's a positive process overall, right? because that is what i mean that's covered. i mean, it was an additional way of building size with countries that we're building tremendous happening. and so it could all make contacts. williams related image

frustrating use of our portal. so basically you actually have my 2 last questions to you to both of you struggle with criteria, because what would you like to say? not just to the proposal to see if he's in his room for a quote, but also to the go to our audience to the millions and maybe even the radiance of people. well won't change your presentations, stay healthy, stay wealthy. and the president of those area, the stories yours, sugar them on the to now thank you very much. well, i would say the only one number of cable for the whole human kind is to live about and it will have you go to the, to the even piece and tennessee program. we all want our economies to develop. and indeed, we want to see actual integrated and housing i think. yeah,

you cannot make integration the lives of drawers between our people's cooler, all the all the windows and the was because of that was bring this drum line with them. well, that is why i'd like to wish you all of the human on line to for the model of the rest of the very t security. and once again, i would like to use this in the future. thank is accident seeing that the president pro changed so i'm a how the better the who was a marion motorist in his statements today. a former view, i saw the see how the like one cuz i wanted to say that we are ready to act as me the other stuff to help around assessment of the concepts to any phrase. so the and i come to conclusions based on your words, president proteins that you all have friends to the whole human kind of a deal on friendly old countries just as well just like an old jerry wolf,

everyone apart from those who off. i miss. thank you. yes, i do believe that they present those are the initial meeting and pretty i would like to thing the president. that's always cherry. i'm finding time to you. i'm here because everyone to talk to is here. if you understand what a lot it means to travel to ross has a few days move fast. so if you attend today's the fans and the seats theater next to us, what that the ease, what are you really in your you and this is true manifestation of leadership. obviously a strong character and then with an office back to your own nation. when we gras because we have long and deep friendly relations with old jerry and was coming. and we lived over here in people's that, you know, i think it seemed 9th and you to the store it until 9. we usually go to or a 6 to 3, the fox studio for the bearing, the pen, both satellite menu and they lost 1500000 people in that are struggling for

independence and not for they gained independence in 1962 if i'm not mistaken. in 1963 and 64, the french army, they were carrying out the nuclear pass. and se hara city is to be in on the territory of holly sherry, and there are a still consequences on those. nicholas are tacitly when we go this year in with a lot of other countries in the region with africa and just in general with the arab countries. we have traditionally from decade to decade we have this check open, which is a deep, friendly relations. i'm not exaggerating when i'm saying that, and we can see really thanks to them, that the leader is just all these accounts raise. they think 1st of all, all their own national interests. if they have their own national interest in mind, would you mind your guess is they let me explain it just because it was just think about what's happening about all this of bands. and yesterday we had to you

a long conversation with mister president who showed braid in france to watch this happening. can you crane each now and now you set it publicly that? uh, but when we talked in the private schools, he also talks about that he supports the idea for entering piece and wasn't and he was saying that he would likely to them aids and this pistol, tanya, we are grateful with mr. president for this position of yours and for your willingness to help and to support our efforts as well to resolve the crisis and ukraine by a peaceful name. so thank you very much. are you plus today, the president pushing and my final question, a difficult one, but in the united states, that would be mandatory question to the austin this situation as well in the situation. if you would ask president, vice, and you would most probably ask him, what is it that you want to say to president food team? maybe you have nothing to say to president biden, i don't know. i feel bad toward us. don't notice. would also be it would be the key,

right? we knew less so that you would like your president biden to the organization. well, he's been saying in this audience and pulled up, what is the major take away from the foreign policy of russia? well, to speech president biden as an adult or it's in the experience publication, i didn't need to give him manual labs, and so he will do what he deems necessary and will do what we think is important. and for the last considerations nationwide, press watson, 44, the watson people, and everyone will have to deal with this. all right, president food you, when you credit you to the words to serve you looks like he refused to give any advice to president vice and no matter what i guess you've just stated the most important thing. everyone will have to count with us. and when we use a boy, i guess this is an important easy to statement on your so that brings us to close

this very important, very meaningful meeting on migration goes to the president of russia analogy area that was indeed a discussion that was truly exciting. thank you very much for the work we've talked today. thank you. that was the russian president vladimir putin who was joined by the president of algeria speaking before the st. petersburg, international economic forum. now their entire segment, when it came to their speeches and the q and a session went on for nearly 3 hours. so let's take a look at some of the highlights. so put and started off with a speech and then he compared it to the speech that he gave just one year ago. he noticed that when looking back at last year, there was a lot of uncertainty when it came to the world looking at russia and how russia would fare as it became the most sanction nation in the world. he noted that one year later, we've seen the results. we've seen that the russian economy has been incredibly resilient. we've seen that inflation is down,

unemployment is down. and then all of the places where western business has decided to up and leave russia. russian entrepreneurs have been able to step up and just fill that void in many places. now putting also noted that the sanctions that were implemented by the west were intended to make sure that russia was isolated. however, he said, so when it comes to energy, when it comes to a trade in all of these places where russia is working with other countries that has only continued to increase over the last year. and he said that he is working with countries that he referred to as reliable partners. also specifically noting that they are tending to work and tending to want to continue to work in the national currencies of those countries to make sure that the countries that are involved are the ones who benefit the most do also noted that the west is used to monopolizing the world when it comes to trade, but he said that the multi polar world is getting ever stronger. now when it came to that q a nice sion, there was also

a lot that was said about ukraine. a lot of questions asked about those ongoing counter offensive. now, who referred to that saying that the noting that the world is changing, but also specifically he said that you cream does not stand a chance when it comes to this counter offensive. he said that it has not been successful in any area. and he noted the ways in which russia has just for the equipment of the west has provided to you frame. he also specifically noted that in all of the places where people in the west have said that there cannot be a problem when it comes to neo nazis in ukraine. because zalinski is jewish. he referred to as long as he by saying my friends told me that as long as he is not a jew, he is a shame also noting the ways in which, in the past knew nasty collaborators in ukraine have specifically been anti russian . now we also heard from the president of all jerry, and he says that russia has been vital and helping developing nations. and so there

was very much a sense of wanting to continue to work together, a sense of resilience and a pushing forward. and this put, noted repeatedly wanting to work with countries that you refer to as reliable partners. so we will continue to follow the latest from the st. petersburg international economic form as it goes on. so do stay tuned to our exclusive coverage right here on our tea. and earlier, the russian president sat down with his counterpart from the u, a. e, who held the cooperation between moscow and abo dobby, and expressed his country's willingness to play a bigger role in resolving the conflict and ukraine. we are building firm strong relations and i'm grateful for this mister president. and to make our relations beneficial for the entire world is an important matter also. so thank you mister president, for your attitude towards the united arab emirates. and you personally, for this opportunity and as for ukraine, i would like to think if we woods,

if you believe that the emirates complete a bigger role in resolving the situation and making the situation more stable with the human darian matters. we are willing to call parade and disregard in any way we can know around. $17000.00 guest are registered to attend russia's largest economic gathering. we did, economists, businesses, politicians, bankers and scientists are among those participating around a $130.00 nations from around the world are taking part, including those from asia, africa, and latin america. speaking on the sidelines of the forum, the syrian and bastard to russia told us would be out coring of support from moscow for a victim of the deadly earthquakes which struck his nation back in february. we witnessed a kind of read the whole between

the 2 categories of to and in the aftermath of this very dramatic as quick that feeds. uh hi. with this, with my own eyes as a master, the most cool. how, how deep that seems that he was coming from categories of the restaurant for the nation. people i received in one day more than a 100 volunteers. i had the payments and then this whole came to help us packaging the assistance and bringing assistance and the temperature was below 2525 below 0. and they kept working with us for days until 10 o'clock in the evening. every day for them was for the money. i'm talking about the people. now let me gave a great credit to the russian government or so because we gather something like 450 tons of assistance. and this assistance was provide support to cdn via the ministry

of municipal defendants ministry of images, images. so we went ahead a lot by the national fissions as well as monday, the restaurant people and the russian cd. and i'm so sorry. yes, i could witness that. that was, i get a message of sympathy and love that we receive it from the sound. we have a lot more to come. so stay with us and our exclusive coverage of the 26th annual st. petersburg international economic for him right here on our to the those of african delegations. the airplane has been stopped by polish authorities for affordably, not allowing the group security team to fly to russia. had a president run my 1st upcoming visit to saint petersburg. this comes just after

the south african liter wraps of peace talks and the premium capital goldman. what else? one of the journalist on the plane right now says it polish police didn't give any reason for their actions. even stripped, searching an official with a diplomatic passport. the, there was the stand outside the call of the windows of the police police are using to allow the addition to disembark with us. we have at least a 100 members of the security personnel. some of them special task force, others, a members of the 50 s who was supposed to go ahead of the president. you. busy and others sense for russia to prepare for the african submission, the published, direct them to confiscate the weapons that are being carried by the security here. they also strip searched a member of the presidential protection services. someone who holds a different. busy passport that's a never happened before in all the years of several by the p. s. this is now

a different method route. you'll see some of the, of the contingency here in the plane will try to show you some of the other seats just behind, you know, since some of the security forces were obviously not allowed to show their faces. they've agreed to, to cover that up. but this is where we've been stuck for the last 3 days. take a look out the window. you'll see that we're actually in the condo section of the airport terminal. this is where we've been stuck in. it's not clear if we wrote this in bucket, we made this in bar state over here or we may didn't find a way to rush. i need to do so or the commercial flights perhaps. but as things stand right now, we're waiting to hear from our government about whether they'll be consequences or what's happened overnight. and so the fact that we've not spent 3 days on board display be one of the representatives of the 50 s with strip searched they, they took 4 hours to actually reach the plane because of the bureaucracy that was

in full force really by default, the cost of cost cutting over a 100 security personnel, about 20 journalist, the american a ways stuff which has been which i've been working since the part installed. i picked up 3 days ago. still try, take care of as of now opened the doors to allow some fresh air in the course. we've been stuck inside this metal to for so long, many people getting close to probably days a view of the points here in folding. and this is really all that we can see. busy this is all that we've been able to see um, you'll see that refund on an official. so that becomes a ways this the consequences for what happens is the head of the presidential protection services. a major general was telling us that his representative was a member of the for the presidential protection services, who carries a diplomatic passport, was strip searched by the polish news. she's

a woman with strip searched by the police police she carries from back to the fox sports. that has never happened before to the presidential protection services. that appears to be one of the most serious incidents on this trip, which is really become a nightmare. the number of people that are stuck on this plane. and what is interesting is that the head of the presidential protection services has said the components authorities are trying to sabotage. the security of the south african president is also describes the script searching of his representative who holds a different method possible. as races by default is always suspected of black women with such yeah, the air force involved. so scripts such a despite being able to show that she's the representative of this, you could impose it's a promotion possible. and at this point, we are waiting for, i'm coming to you from our president and all minute stuff international relations

leopard tanks are being burned and as 16 viner data will be, as well as their supply by the way us, that's the message from russian president vladimir putin, at the economic form in saint petersburg or another condition is still due to learning. no, canadian nato has been drawn into the morn, ukraine for supply heavy vehicles. the option of supplying aircraft is currently being considered. the tanks are burning, including the leopards they're burning. and the 16 will also burn as well. there's no doubt. but if they are located, the base is abroad and used in hostilities. we also have to look at how to hit them . there is a serious danger of drawing their, you know, further into this conflict. thousands of ukrainian soldiers have been killed with dozens of tanks destroyed, including heavily praised german supplied leopard main battle tanks during an over hyped count of offensive operations. ukrainian and western officials down played

the situation on the battlefield with the chief of nato calling. he has massive losses quote plan, while ukrainian presence was the called the situation, not too bad. long anticipated counter offensive. how's it going? and that things look a lot better than that, but i would say is generally follows illusion for more or less. let's cross live now to richard black, a former republican virginia state senator, who joins us now live from washington. d. c. richard is great to have you on the program today. now let's start with the what do you make the ongoing ukrainian counter offensive so far? thank you very much. and i'll just add, uh, you know, i was, i reserve the carnal and uh, a lot during vietnam and an extremely fairs calling back. so i am familiar with

what some of some of these matter are undergoing today. what has happened with this count or a fan so that was predicted for a long time and then launched in with all of this glorious purple a. but uh once, once it struck, it has smashed against a russian wall of steel. the ukrainian offensive has probably lost in excess of 7260 times, 360 other armor vehicles destroyed in a single week. i interest in, in response to this they have achieved rather trivial gains. they've made some very small advances in some remote places. they've seized several small settlement. the, the offensive has turned in to

a point was blood bass. there are charge, leper tanks and bradley vehicles lying everywhere across the ukrainian steeps or steps. meanwhile we, we have washington telling ukraine that they need to fight for as long as it takes . i think this is simply in human just yesterday, the new york times headline read that ukraine report slow progress at the start of the toner. from now other words, the attack has stalled. new york times reported that for a 3rd day or 2 of uh, did not claim to have re taken county villages. in other words, they're not moving forward at all. they say that the ukrainian forces are finding it very difficult to advance in the southwest. i think it's important for people to

realize that the, the defensive lines that were established were, were the master mind, a general sort of beacon who took over and provided unity of command earlier in the war. he was the one who drew troops back from a dangerously exposed position across the neighbor river and brought them back to the area behind the chair. so uh, and he solidified the defensive lines all around ever since then we have had the russian mobilization. and now instead of being terribly under man, now the russians have now got comparable numerical strengths. and the forces of ukraine are simply throwing themselves on just the

turning it into 2 human waste of throwing themselves into battle without any real purpose. right now, after all they, they passed a week and a half of, of throwing $33.00 of their most, a league about brigades and to battle. the main russian defensive lines are still 15 or 20 kilometers behind the area where we're talking about is taking place. in other words, the ukrainian forces have yet to reach the 1st major line of defenses of the russians. and already there are being slaughtered in huge numbers is really a shame. i have great separate say for any of these young men or

dying and bottle, whether they're ukrainians, whether they're russians. and the idea that washington is saying that they have defined for as long as it takes is, is really a terrible trial. and today they say that the purpose of this initial attached is to force russia to bring out as reserves to commit its reserves. and then the ukrainian or better know which direction to attack. the problem is that the russian casualties have been relatively slight because of that there is no need for russia to employ their reserves at all. so in that respect, all things are, are going very, very poorly. and the prospect, sorry, see you friday in town or offensive will fail and then it will fail dramatically.

right? and with those staggering numbers, as you noted, why do you think that as long as get continues to downplay the ukrainian law says, does it all just come back to what his boss is in washington are essentially saying to him, yes, if you go back to the the 1st 2 months after, after russian troops across the border into ukraine, within 2 months of the government of ukraine, the government and moscow had come to the peace table and they had almost completely hammered out a peace agreement. then i think would have been very satisfactory to both countries . at that point, a prime minister morris burst johnson of the of.
