the, the young lady that came to goodwill, especially visit to russia in the coming days at the invitation of the russian president, vladimir, who said death told him a wrong code is 2500 with thousands injured on the display in the deadliest as quite to hit the country in a 100 years. the 20 confectionary expedition is the biggest, a specialized divan, some chocolates and other suites. anyone in the middle east. chocolate business is a special industry and a lot of these tweets of famous around the world. but we've had a tendency with it to achieve. thank sufficient and to wrong, we take you that the

a very welcome. this is all the international with the very latest world news updates. it's great to have you with us as always. now at the top story this out of the kremlin and has confirmed that north korean leader kim jones and will soon officially visit russia. kaylee the has been invited by the russian president vladimir putin to hold because she ation is between moscow. joan young, a correspondent, the ego stone of has the d test. the most to and beyond. young have confirmed that the north korean leader will be visiting russia shortly. neither of the sites have explicitly said that kim jumped on would the meet flight of my food and the here in flight of a stone. but given that the president of russia is here right now, and that is a destination that can be easily reached via kim jen ons famous. i'm a train, it seems quite likely. but what the both sides did confirm is that they will have a face to face meeting. again, one can only speculate as to what they could be discussing,

but some topics are quite on the surface. firstly, russia could be very much interested in the, the opportunities and in the capacity of the capabilities of the north korean military industrial complex, they could discuss the shipments and the supply of newest korean weapons. and governments like motels shows admit sizes to russia to assist rushing the ongoing conflicts in the ukraine. also, russia could be seeking access to north korea's internal economy, markets of rule this, the eastern economic form is all about business and finance. and also north korea border, south korea and south korea has been providing ukraine with some of its own military minds. so russia could see and could find out as to what young gang can do to limit sol in the its capabilities and its desire to

a ukraine and into north korea. has something to well, a gain from russia as well. and on the top of the tree here is well. russia's military rushes more than military capabilities and rushes more than military expertise. because so far russia's weapons have fed quite well against ne, till may, thanks. nathan may dog tillery and in general, against nato's military industrial complex. also, they could expand north korea's labor program in russia. they could send more north 3 laborers to russia. on top of that, bear in mind that north korea has been on this via weston sanctions for quite a long time. so vague could and to try to push russia to, well, maybe the move lacks about binding to those un imposed sanctions. again,

this is not the official agenda again, we can't really say for sure if that is indeed what they will be discussing and talking about. and of course we, nobody probably knows right now what will come out of this meeting. but definitely this could be quite momentous when it comes to the chief political situation all across the globe the north way. and so if we need to, as the report has to be on his way to do that in full stock with the a, the eastern economic form is taking place on the husband to be the number of experts on the side lines of the form and the correspond to the english drawing, i've spoke to one gwen from the trunk young institute, about 20 certifications attending the for them to find new opportunities for cooperation with russia as well. i think the e as a you can use the economic a foreign or you can fraud to a stop guys. very interesting, very important or foreign. so attracted me as a think tank scholar from china. more importantly this year compared to last. yeah,

i find a lot of chinese participants, not only a commercial participant, but also you know, i could have like them. yeah. but you've been to join it's part of the issue is that they have to attract the nice of the forwarding. they a why so many trying you, but even to come here, they just have them to fight on your pay for cooperation and we thought sure we want to push them. all of this needed some more comma, commercial, more trained to be released unless you compared to last the to the by last row trains increase to over a certain percent by it's a huge are increasing and look at the global conditions. so it's very, it would be advancing that because these, the to paddle, what would the wong, the if the west to world wong is a non western world. so i like to, to, uh, kind of, uh, globalization. now we have to load, we'll come back here a we, uh, you know, pass along here, you know more and i'm on down with them road country. we, we, companies, you deeply,

much of deeper debt before we did last year. so i think the year including china, india revealed we all have to much more accomplish the vietnam on the us. so critical part is a very critical time. that's according to joe biden, speaking of a news conference in halloway. but while the american president was bad to convince the country to work closely with washington by them was pounds by western media of his attack plus recital of a line from a hollywood film about the vietnam. more this round the world on 5 days is interesting. well, you know that one of my staff members are the famous on, you know, good morning. good evening. good morning, vietnam was the line used in an american military radio host during the war. and

the 1960 that was late of popular life by the hollywood comedy film cooled. good morning, vietnam, certified as news conference was criticized the media as bizarre as the most up to himself. ones is around the stage and quoted, a random story about indians from an old american western movie. we go reaction to findings that latest gulf from media and legal unless that line. oh, there are cards that the president used years ago, which seem to do a good job. say this, do this walk off, have a nice day and leave the seems to be an inability to, to limit him from, from waxing improvisational batch when we get into problems when it's just off the cuff. and it seems that nobody cares about this. you and i are talking about this, some folks are talking about this. and if you pointed out here you're,

you're called either either right wing or n t by what imagine you're sitting here talking, try trying to couple of us calling you to members of the world, a leadership community and you're trying to impart spend for that. i was even worse is when you can tell that someone is not necessarily, you know, they've lost their, their, their fast ball so to speak. it's not funny. it's troubling. and i, and i hope this is corrected. the media spartans trip to honda only officially focused on responding. well the us cause a comprehensive strategic partnership with vietnam. with some less the media outlets have speculated that 5 and so it's all about trying to count to china's influence in the region. the us president has denied these claims and here's what they doing, type to say. your name may was that we believe the when dealing with relations with asian countries, the us to the front of the cold war mentality of a serious sum game, which he plays to keep. and to go ahead to office trip to vietnam. the us president

a will to the middle of all the, to an american best when he played an active role in a 20 year war. that sounds us a national security advisor, jake sullivan said washington and was for decades to pass on. we bills ties with vietnam. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready the

fine arts hangin cd a fellow of the to her and such a thing. tongue told us that he's on clear what the us he's actually trying to achieve in vietnam. so it is kind of ironic that the u. s. is showing up in vietnam after all these years, and they're saying that they want to have a rough pro small, i'm sure that the enemies would love them to remove all the cluster bombs that they left behind, which are still an issue. but, you know, at this juncture, you can look at the iron is ritz real politics? obviously, vietnam is playing all sides in its effort to advance its own economy. and that's not surprising, but you know, this is a situation where you, you still have a communist government. this is not a, a poster child for us liberal style, a democratic capitalism, although vietnam is very capitalistic. they're taking

a path which is much closer to china is pounds in terms of its development. so, you know, it's a mixed bag for the united states. it's not clear what the us strategy here is other than trying to contain china. they're not really offering anything that these countries need other than access to the markets. the desk told in morocco news 2500 with thousands more injured on displaced the devastating that's to make this struck friday night. just the most powerful reach in the state in a 100 years, with west new operations on the way. many people are still trapped under the daybreak locals have been helping to pull victims from the rubble. but this tall is expected to rise with the full extent of the damage. still unclear. many survivors of not being less homeless on the injured or receiving treatment. it makes shift hospitals. the united nations estimates around 300000 people were affected by friday nights of quake with some abrupt ins claiming on social networks. but the

government isn't allowing enough outside health. many of step tend to donate bloods to the victims. we saw on the news that they need donation for blood and i even think slice, we just run through here because it's one of the main things that as a citizen is to help each other, especially like on conditions where there's people who are dying are at this moment of we speak and they are needing help. we are here today because we were staying in the medina in the old title and my doctor and i are here for a few days holidays. we love of marcus, and we saw it on the, the telephone, the, the youtube or with the news, the news channel. but sir, um, the, so i have an appeal for blood. we both get blood in our home places. and so we are here to give you numbers now like nothing's at the off to this is all stuff we

have to help those people and we have to help each other and bring it in the least we could help with his giving up log to those who need it or with this is why we are here today. and as you know, and you'll see just a brief message from our cash shows, the moments trim has begun with terrified residents running from buildings in patrick and save referrals to the grounds. they are quite strong, could nice catching many people while they were sleep, the sensor, all phase 6.8 mach mature. travel was around daisy columbus is from the city of mar cash, with off the shocks. continuing in the hours of sun today. i'll house a problem and stuff at the most casualties with almost 1300 people kills we had from local, the facts had fine. that is on the gloves. you know, most of them are on 31 people who i 0 to yesterday. we used all efforts to help and rescue people and we did everything we could, but we could not help everyone to know where suffocated one person. but many of those died down to the russell for the lo, which i had showed i lost my 2 daughters. may god have mercy on them with them they

were sleeping on the 1st floor and the ceiling fell on them. it alone. my mother was also with them, but i managed to save her. thank god, my wife's son and daughter survive. is it to you about my sister for daughters and her husband passed away. may god have mercy on the time we are located in this village in a very remote area. on 2nd, we spoke to the owner of the restaurants and not a cash witness. pos, quaid. he said that the old city was the west of faxes. this past week was the strongest. and then even though we are now in my case, and the, the big disaster or the most the casualties of and know to nothing medication and medication. and there's only, and it's about the battle between $10.20, that people to play. so took the most and injured the blow as the house has them of them. and not so good at the beginning,

i'm not strong. and that's why some of them are flips, but the not those in naples, most of the day fiction, they wouldn't be on the tourism industry. because the people now after this disaster canceling flight and them, some of them will be driven in my local and there will be a voice to come to a lot of cash in the near future of the use of past occasion of intimidation from the us tower. read who's alleged being harassed by them. so that's a joy binding has now been granted asylum in russia. we can cross live to tar now as far as any. thanks for joining us. now we have been going to the side of been russia waltz. what was the procedure and, and how's the feel of the all the deals that you faced? so thank you for having me. um, its been um a little bit of a journey. as you know,

i came forward in 2019 and immediately was called a russian asset, and my reputation was dragged through the mud. i lost everything trying to come forward about the sexual assault that i had at the hands of joe biden, in 1993. when i worked for him and it's been difficult, i came forward and talked about not only what he did to me, but also about the corruption of the biden regime. and this proxy war, that nato and the united states are fighting against russia. and i tried to sound the alarm and the warning about how corrupt biden and the people around him are for that they came after me with everything. and um, i lost everything as a result, and i was very fortunate to be given sanctuary in the russian federation. i was here and with the help of maria boots and who had suffered herself at the

hands of the american government. um, when she was in prison to there, you know, and she has been very compassionate and very helpful. i began the process of the paperwork, which was, you know, daunting is someone who doesn't know the system, but they made it very clear how to proceed. i did, and then it was investigated and the russian federation decided that there were grounds for me to have the sanctuary this asylum. and i am very appreciative. i do have of course mixed feelings. i'm leaving behind my family and friends and i don't know when i was ever see them again. so that's a very powerful thing. but i'm very happy to be here in the russian federation. and i feel like i'm the on the right side of history. i feel that rushes on the right side of history. they're fighting nazis like they did in world war 2 and they're

fighting them again. now they're protecting and the people have done boss that have been you know, show. so whatever sadness or grief i have for my own circumstances, there are thousands of others losing their lives right now in the dumbass region. and russian soldiers that are facing you know, a lot trying to protect people and move forward. so i feel very lucky butare and your 1st strong data are leaving behind. your family is not an easy thing to do. i'm just wondering what other options will you consider to consider and get and why did you ultimately choose to seek asylum in russia as well? you know, initially i was writing a book and i was here for, for a come back contract and on vacation. and then it became clear to me that, um, through intelligence. uh um, some former us intelligence informed me that my life was at risk and that i was going to be arrested if i went home um and it died it possibly um,

under serious charges. um, there's also a sealed case against me um by the d. o j. so i stopped the advice of, of course, lawyers and then um, i even saw the advice of matt gates who was going to have you testified before congress against joe biden was supposed to do that in around the 1st week of june. and matt gates informed me that my life was in immediate danger, and that he couldn't protect me. so as he us citizen hearing i us sitting us congressman who has intelligence available at his fingertips. it was very sobering, and so i made the decision to stay in russia. i didn't know for how long at that moment it would be, but then it ended up that you know, they can hold an indictment for up to 20 years. so it was going to be a difficult battle so, so luckily, you know, i had been working on a small amount for r t for several years. and i asked for for,

for some more work. and i am now corresponded with a r t. and they've been so gracious to me and as, as russia as a whole. so i've been very lucky indeed to have so much support and love from the russian federation, and they've given many others. i think there are other westerners that are here seeking sanctuary and help from russia, and it's being provided. and i think we need to all look at what's happening to the us and the loss of free speech and free expression. my attorneys did file a filing with the un that my freedom of expression and freedom of speech was violated. that i will not be testifying obviously before congress, unless they let me do it remotely. because i will not be returning to the united states. i did get information that the plan was to um, arrest me in seattle, washington around the 1st week of june. and i would have been taken into custody and possibly held for up to 18 months. maybe even without charges. atara. how would

you describe your situation now? it's, it's wonderful. um i have to say i am so right now i'm in the lot of a stock. i'm going to the eastern economic forum and i have the great pleasure of seeing some of the displays from the different regions of russia and far east. and that's been fascinating. um it's, it's wonderful. i have, you know, a place to live. i have, you know, a purpose and work, and i have a community of people that, you know, are, are from, you know, also have sought shelter here. and then also i'm meeting more and more russian people and getting, you know, so acclimated and that's been really wonderful. moscow is an incredibly beautiful city and incredibly efficient. their subway system, the food, everything. i love it. so i have to say, you know, that it's,

it's really been a harrowing experience on one hand, you know, to, to make this big change. but on the other, i couldn't think of a better place to, to come then to moscow russia and to russia itself. and russia as soon credibly beautiful, like i'm in the labs, lot of a stock and um, on the pacific ocean, the other side of the pacific ocean. i was born in monterey, california. and so that's been rather poignant to be, you know, near the pacific and, and just, it's just, um, i'm, i, i really feel fortunate and i would encourage anyone to look at their circumstances . and if they feel under threat of the us government, you know, russia is a very beautiful safe, and there's opportunities here. and it's really walking into the multi polar world . and has there been any reaction in the west to your asylum, stasis? yes, um, you know, small reactions mostly the western media, suppressing it

a bit. i think news week did an article about western moving to moscow, russia and what that kind of trend that's happening. but other than that, there, there's been kind of a quiet and it's about it. they don't want it really out there that so many westerners are seeking help and seeking refuge from the, from the russian federation. because it really reveals how corrupts to bite and resume is and how much loss of freedom of speech we really are in during the you mention that he'd like to obtain the russian citizenship of one of those prospects . yes, i have asked for assistance to apply for a fast track to russian citizenship and i am waiting to hear about that. i know that you know, my, my good friend maria buttah is also going to help facilitate or guide that process . so i hope to be a russian citizen soon, and i am taking russian lessons and learning slowly and after meeting to my vironment harmony. thanks for speaking to us today. i really appreciate you giving

us all those days how's tar rate also contributed to thank you. thank you. okay, well, a rainy and sweet saw famous around the world today. we think taste and great variety, but aside from being somewhat of an allstate, confectionary business is quite a lucrative industry, as well as generating millions in process. i'll tell you that use of technology has the story for those. what a suite to this place is that you until the 22nd sort of on confectionary exemption is the biggest, specialized event on chocolate and other suites. anyone in the middle east event has brought together $304.00 and exhibitors to present the latest pastries and other products and the construction to read this right and 3 categories of raw materials as related machinery from circus month. want to iranian guess a variety of sweet products, including biscuits, chocolate, cookies,

candies and traditional suites on display here. the event introduces the latest trends, innovations, and technologies in the confectionary industry. so it depends on how much cold, especially our company started its activity back in 1979 by producing chocolate products. today's has turned into a national brand. we export almost 15 percent of our product. currently we have 14 ex for destinations, including torque, menaced on russia or media as over john and pakistan. so the way video a come from, so g, we came specifically to the exhibition, specifically the suites exhibition. you know, because this is our core area and we wanted to study the production and producers of iran since relations between our countries are developing very quickly now. so we came here to see the level of production with their own eyes. they won't have a great taste of candies and chocolates. every province. subsidy is known for its own special traditional suites. like so hon. from the city of home gas from east

behind and mass got to you from she ross. there's this section of the exhibit, and that displays all of the sweet souvenirs from all parts of the country, apart from its mouth watering, the large, the confectionery, and this raise the country's most lucrative. some exercise is potential has been under estimated last year. a one are for us, we need exported about $400000000.00 worth of biscuits chocolate. some candies over 60 countries with us with your is insignificant compared with a global market size of about $180000000000.00 of this industry. now exhibitors here. so if the government helps remove the obstacles, export from this industry could easily exceed the equivalent of one and a half $1000000000.00. the most important solution is to facilitate the export process. we have problems and currency purchases and we need support in this area. apart from that, it's irrelevant associations participate in international exhibitions and pay the way for a rainy and companies. this will be helpful. export management companies also can

help because they specialize in exports is among the richest countries in sugar production. and this has play this part in the dynamics of the confectionary sector for told us 70 percent of the raw material needed for the phase 3 is important. that includes cocoa powder, video and chocolate. what you're running towards from countries such as brazil, turkey and spain. experts, a reason for you the purchase of those ingredients has faced difficulties caused by the western sanctions leading to a search and consumer prices. for suites anyone they need the full when you're under sanctions, you face difficulties in money transfers in the supply of raw materials. as a result, the raw materials that are randy and producers buy are more expensive than the standard global price. we need to try to find ways to facilitate access to raw materials for the producers to be able to easily buy them and import them to the country. to quote, parts of the confectionery industry is about genuinely traditional pastries like

surface. most of all russian lady under warranty, and so ha, a large part of its changes over time, grows with the latest technology. organizers say this expo tries to promote and preserve traditional suites. while helping you running businesses stay in tune with the latest trends in the industry. so it's only our too many thanks for your company here in o. c international. this monday. plenty more. all the latest updates can be found on our website on t dot com. now the back with the rest of the team and 30 minutes, the
