shot the the hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered on peter level. the west likes to take pride in its achievements like the importance of international law. it demands the rest of the world, follow its weight, but the world is in shock over the west unwillingness to criticizing, call loud, israel's war on guys. this is the absence of morality, the us talking palestine. i'm joined by my guess, matthew aaronton, montreal. he is a senior fellow at the american university in moscow and director of the rising tide tide foundation of canada incident. and we have a home in mirandi. he is

a professor at the university of trent. hi, tony, in cross lock rules and the fact that means he can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate how good it is. go to. um, um, could i have chris mohammad, you know, its, everyone's well, you get these moments of clarity where things are very, very obvious. they see. and we, we have through the western world through this conflict in gaza in lock step with washington. um this, you know, if you go and look at public opinion, so opposed of the citizenry even in the united states, a majority including democrats, want to see a ceasefire with the lead. so in the west continue to just throw caution to the wind, throw any kind of sense of, of legitimacy be the entire artifice of international law in the international humanitarian law. over the last 70 years, 80 years is just been completely dashed and thrown into the garbage and the west wants the world to respect it. thoughts and the

a paul that i saw yesterday actually show that a minority of americans wants the united states to support israel. something in the low, $3030.00 puts 37 percent. so the united states is changing. europe is changing. the whole of the global south is shifted, but it leads and the west, they haven't bunch they, they are even worse than what they were in previous classes or in previous attacks on guys. because as we all know, gaza has been subjected to carpet bombing on numerous occasions over the years. this time, of course, being the worse. but now that is worse than ever before. we see a stronger consensus that ever before among western leaders and the leads and media in support of the atrocities and support of genocide and in support

of method in yahoo in particular. so i think the united states and the europeans have really destroyed themselves. it, this is not just israel destroying itself, and i, i think that's the greatest, the feet for this really regime is not the military defeat. that it suffered on october, the 7th, or the intelligence defeated. it's not the military and intelligence defeat that is suffering. now, after weeks of battling and getting almost nowhere, but it's, but it's the fact that they are massacring civilians. they're massacring children, live on tv, live online, people are watching it, and they have no regrets. they're making racist statements. a human animal calling palestinians. human animals be met in yahoo! using biblical allusions to talk about the destruction of the whole of the

palestinian people and killing them all using that analogy. and. and also this is riley defense minister and the, the is riley president who said there are no in a sense in god so, so this brand new machine has destroyed its legitimacy in the eye. is it considered legitimate? and the west has destroyed itself because it is always defined itself or presented itself as our moral mentors uh through through the decades. and as we saw in ukraine, as we've seen, all kinds of things. but now it's become so disgusting and so open their support for these for what many wrong call a holocaust that the i think it will take decades for them for them to recover if they ever do. you know with matthew they, is it mohammad, it's absolutely right. a, you know, i, i can re, uh, remember the last time this happened to, to, to guys

a you could watch it on, on television. of course, with western media wouldn't show you the, the, the full extent of it. but because of the advancements in social media, you can watch the destruction of a people in real time and it doesn't prosper as stir western deletes it is, it is really quite astounding. i thought the phrase never again actually had some meaning, but it doesn't having any meaning whatsoever. and which makes it even worth the apologies for jumping in there with the russian president. now just to approaching the podium with the plan areas session with the st. petersburg, international, cultural for him. let's listen. i am very glad to read to you. and here in saint petersburg, it is symbolic that but these law cd my has been traditionally hosting these international accounts for the for and because the malware in north and capital is a unique example of what i see is mutual enrichment, you know,

russian and other global cultures of st. petersburg, which was built by outstanding architects from various count trace has been used. it was the main same as riders musician signed exact or is something we're working here and what's the order? just look at the bill and the human error trade. if albert's has become a part of the cultural legacy, also our entire planet st. petersburg as one of the manifestations of visible manifestations of the global openness. how the russian people on the russian cells they yeah, something that's yeah, that definitely helps keep us writing about putting your ability to perceive, to understand and to develop all the past things that are not too hard cuz on differences but to look for a common things that even the quote and to reach the heights all of them util, spiritual enrichment, and you look like you move forward together. and these are the principles that for

a close to ron, should our people take up 4 pages, menu, civilization, that cares for languages and traditions of old ethnic groups when you can happenings, account trains the most. and it's, i'm up to an example of the, of the units eve. i mean, all varies cultures give us the history of our country. i don't think about, but i see it as an out events that the cultural diversity is the trade good. luis luis, that you know what you get a little bit of an interaction as counter is one of the factor resolve in your sustainable development doing. and one of the major reasons for the tension in the world is cheating this pump. just the fact that some forces believe that they are exceptional from the culture of the point of view as well. they neglect stimulating yeah. the values, virtual values, it's yeah. when do you think god,

so they want to make everyone see motor according to their own pattern. making sure 3rd, and they believe that they're modeled their patterns, are the bass ones are universal ones in this folder? universal ization plants, cultural expansion, i might add, you turned it up now. and those are the kinds of things. so if it makes culture poor, she is, it lowers the potential the need and we believe that the future is with the also you certainly can porter developing the couch her is so wide toilet because they came in to tear in society. is of those multi portal world that is emerging today. a lot of these ones that you might even interest in these for him. the united cultures should become part of this dialect you straight. this is the view. it was, we creed, the out for it's all of our here. escape on creation, all these kind of world. we believe it is a value to that bad or world as low as the improvement of the station in the world

. and you've got sunglass and the world in the russian language just means unit c. world as a global, sup, when your community world as mankind entire plan to, to, i know that the participants, so this for him, my station we have to go through. they have prepared, very busy schedule, and one of the key topics of bus management discussions here was learning history via culture. and i have to say and, and that's something i'll be as bad. and these are the kinds of documents solution . mostly wasn't able to do any good with the spoken if they are available to everyone and not to everyone here with them. it's and mostly experts are working with ways they, sorry, so there's professionals and is, can you mainly people learned about the past from books, from cinema, from music, from theater, who was mixed. and the truth about history, about diet, or should be in periods of our history are learned from the master pieces of the

global culture, russian european american chinese era. in many oper like a gym to then you might, it's but those who are trying to falsify history and below desktop, there were plenty of those mikes to deal with him and old times with the breaking points of history. it's true, our mission is thorn in very sides post. uh what would it mean you should stop them from the distorting the present? just for the banner said over there at the i logical or initiate, entered january constructions, it stopped them from the mall was reading people against each other. and that's why these frauds, that they are in making a fake pieces of art. in other words, that we literature in cinema and everything that does not sleep in told their fate books and say it is rewards they just to is to cross it out. they keep silence about optic. you like in the ard, the culture of many countries of asia,

of late in america, if they operate, because if it never happens in our culture recently, they are attempting to cancel it to cancel our culture. and i'd like to emphasize that is that you're attempting to do this because even in my believe it is not possible to do this and it was a true mercy. the law for a man, for somebody to see this period of a man is what under lights, the true culture, your going? yeah, and i see, but and states attempts are a neo colonial. it's raised system and it's simply in place to levels appear rates . and these cancellation and those anti russian sanctions, those who someone will initiate at the site is from the very beginning they did not do a good job. they did not succeed. and one of the examples of these as a conflict, you close to your own land. oh, do do them. but he was

a big just yet media attention toward space very mean the trade coffee contests. the issue where there were 15000000 people watching this contest because in the modern world you can not canceled bit springs because when you and it is bizarre, that those people who are attempting to do these, they do not understand basically, and out of these plates, a 1000000 people, more than half of them read people from here and so they did not want anyone to make decisions for themselves. what kind of music they should listen to. and then once they almost, they should watch what books they should read. and despite all this attempts and art still knows, no bored or phillips, that's how it has always been. that's how it is now, and that's how it will be less. and obviously, especially during our time is the times of technological progress. and that's grades do our communities and you rates as well. and we need to calculate the consequences. so based upon demand, whole tectonic sheets, doing all these protesters and all of advancement and genetics, and counts and mechanics to be part of the blue shield intelligence and other

advanced technology areas. so let's look and these topic from what i understand has become something that is being discussed that they score and which only makes sense because only culture can make it safe. you know, what can make it reasonable for the innovations to be and try to use because the culture is the nature of the regulator of the technological progress for them up. so i'd like to talk to someone through with you a car good night or it's all day for him to leave. it shouldn't be the foundation of the social development that issued on the good and keep the union nation values send the faith of our ancestors and can, i could help us to preserve our roots. and she said is important for an individual and for the country to which protects you from the tools that you and that's something short term and $28.00 or something. i'm kind of happy with varying that helps us to remain human both even during the diary times is used in the store. if you give them that addition that you will find them out of cities,

keep by the media and legend the radar, the trail. and when the syrians come home, euro was destroyed by the terry, specially when you mind. yeah. oh, i see sketch as to did to it is light and the russian audience is well aware of that. i would like to and for an hour, friends that were against the front of the road and the northern b metal. myra is the next name. obviously the where we are now like up in the end during the siege. the nancy barbarians, there is satellites. there were also attempting to destroy our cd with northwind almira and offered the syrians. let's just the syrians homebuyer. it was liberated, our special needs from the institute of history and material legacy make every effort to preserve this monumental are to follow me. i read it cost me for that and they were looking through angry, fragmentary, please. so it's a as architect that's to restore it based world heritage is quarter side. and soon along with our syrian counterparts,

they will start to carry out this project and the responsibility to preserve the world heritage and traditional values showing that is upon the wrong ship on our people. and we understand that deeply, we realize that the places it is in our nation, we can't or through we always are, because i've always been during the initial sure, the stay here. we always take care about someone else's transit as well. and we also care about the russian language because it is the language of new inter asking communication of hundreds of millions of people across the world. so there's a jump that goes x and it is confirmed by the initiative by the president of the cabinets. then president to cough to establish international organization and russian language. these initiative was supported by russia by our colleagues, leaders. so the see i asked the town teresa will just i and i'm sure that the number of the members of this organization will grow next year. rush is going to preside over to intern some organizations, breeza and c. o. as by stands for the cultural events. we have

a very fast program that it should be easy scan to l. same to in, expand, called true is a compilation with the front high coming to shut the ration organization countries us in like in other leading organizations all the engine light in america. and we do your focus on the development of the cultural traits. corporation, we are la cage when you great fonts and we do not plan to to lower the expanse. we will continue to look for additional rates or is to support are these are these 2 carbon is ations and programs to preserve samples? good, when you've got heritage monuments and other important science here to digital lines, they see a red flag, for example, as good as the push can map to. for example, it is it prod, room for the younger generation? it allows younger people to average watching national from 14 to 22, to attend museums, theaters, the concert halls, and other key options. the events expands on this stage and such

a progress in education and enlightment. so you to not just only allowed to see you, particularly as a for each slips in the younger generation, it helps us to establish social security and social equality. but any much and our comfort printers are playing an important role. they work to preserve the lack of seal test, watching those patients and interactions, people who they are using old industrial drones to do that they, the nation add to the exhibit so far in museums, separate the libraries. and they are doing these from the bottom of their hearts, and we should acknowledge they'd sell for. it's on the behalf of my to do. but as we do and these bruises, all the participation in developing our culture is some things that is uniting us as well. it's difficult because i see long, even as this extension means that these initiatives and various and for national organizations to be able continue to grow and number 2 and the so called business

culture, this sponsorship is going to become, i hope, the traditional items on the agenda of various organization use russia plans to maintain close cooperation with everyone who shares our values to friendship and page shows who are rated to be able to the new multi portal world. based on the civilizational and cultural diversity to preserve what he was more than the families of the people equal rights university entities for all the states is something that will help us to deal with the personality of for mankind. and these for him is aimed at helping us to achieve this goal. so traveling more and more to what just did the young artist, teacher and scientists and tri printers, sponsors specs for state. and they can help us to become a long term platform to make important decisions in the coming to terry and area to help us with russia is rated to help to support this efforts. thank you very much

for coming here for being with us to my thank you for your attention. well, some of the very like his pictures, right the from the benefits of the know that some petersburg, the 9th annual international culture for him. of course, with the russian president, the flooding they put in making the opening remarks. so just wanna run down very, very briefly to the couple of comments from president food. and he said that create celebrating russian culture and culture is that the global community is full front now with this 9th annual event happening in st. petersburg. who didn't did say that one of the reasons for attention in the world today is because someone forces, i think they're exceptional from a cultural point to view as well. they neglect the values. they want to make everyone similar according to their own path and, and they believe that pattern is the best as to didn't saying the future is death of a multi polar world. on multi centric cultures. he said they'd be an exception list

in the west are attempting to cancel the russian culture, but that's not possible. put instead of neo colonial attempts like this racist and futile, they will not succeed. put in did say that the next year, russia will preside over the breaks on the c, i. s put in saying is going to be a very busy time working together with the seo countries. and we, i see an unlocked in america as well. he said he's looking forward to all of those groups working together. well, that's a pop back to saint petersburg now and continue listening to some of the opening remarks all the 9th annual cultural form. let's listen to a bit more questions you can do it on my side because any question which the know what the she will of the today show the culture in a multi polar world and what was actually changing the computer is helping us to rediscover the world. what would it be that it's often looking to see other words? is it really the time to see exactly the conflict? after all the world has been a little conflict full of strife regions. when you across regions,

people are fighting each other. the score does so trust the things that are happening to me is what so would even go to we to is it really the time to look at the talk about culture who came? was it when, like they say, when the canons are firing is it's really the time to cause you to talk about cultures. and so i don't know. i think it's something that the cicero said uh when the emotional cannons are firing low as of silence, i think it was the original slab to you in the program with that. no, i think that's amazing. that's how it was written. and we originally thought it doesn't really matter. what's important is that in moments like these, i'm just going to choose which i believe it's critically important to still we do it to the point to do the things. but to do sports, i mean the culture and sports. do you believe it's at gmail?

but all these things are when you mine. yeah. yes. go back to help us. i seek conference, which is to help people connect to, to one another. and without that connection, overcome any conflict as impossible. so which is your mission, even the abilities very much, if i show as needed, and it's a noble work that you do. so i'd like to thank you for that. must have no idea who is going to build the easily a breaches of them. what the deal is. i don't suppose that you but the minutes we argue that that's easy. example. in addition, some states have all kinds of mutual disagreements of the in fighting and the confrontation and competition over time. all this struggle is going on and the only people of culture, the intelligent ones. dish. and they have to say, yeah,

thinking about the future, they have the ones in charge of building breaches. so this is a very good culture 1000. this is what i see reports do as well, these. and those of you who do not wish to engage in that and those who want to and then you can is burn bridges. so instead of building them, these are people that's also far from culture. they are far from intelligence in the search. and that's not all according to the world, in addition to that would be good. the reason you good show us that because whenever the conflict us arrives are these whenever people are fighting each other and the name of justice or the name on it is some cool. uh good uh, photos on the body. but uh, well, just by using complicated to rent fighting each other, just uh,

often times that happens. but bills too its got close to kind of like this. so then you're thinking, what is the new school basically to the new cost that people of culture are driven in these time periods to create are great works of art that's become immortal. remember just the cult each particularly. so you might, when you're stuck, let in god was on this each month you see if it's a great learning. but symphony was born, it wasn't politically correct. this was a piece of music that was sort of played like that's the forefront of the, of the fight against the invaders school. if the computer was repeated and what the pretty, so little that quick. but you, this creates a kind of a little bit of a search for going on for, you know, strength and the people who we pulled back, or remember towards those key many we'd be like, who wrote poems. so it's just ation would ask us to read them. you still

get goosebumps, you have a month to remember letter letter, month of and the way she describes of the battle overall journal on you, the people of mine generation, which way i think that if you wake them up, you see that it was considering the nights they will be able to recite to you the what, the stars of the, of the, the little name. i mean the between the lines of, with a of she said she's power. and so you what she and i. so this is how these even even mortal piece is a whole lot of being born. but she will thank you. you know, well, thank you. and so because you know, in st. petersburg, well, what it used to be called lyndon drive, gave me the what they are was saying fugitive was the musical comment. if see it's a little changed. is that appraised at the time that you and people when they're notified was to get this new sense of the energy and you to be

able to fight back. so and your call the issue all of the arching info mirror and the way we help to rebuild it, discuss it. difficult for now. oh sure, no good deal. just that with the with the let's talk about the hermitage. loss has been done to mr. petrol sky. helped us down to look into health with this project to come to fruition. could we give the mike to him? it is good. men should just do this as this with them. is that on the less than you need to go 10 years ago, we need to visit spoke about the mirror for the 1st time. and now we see that a lot has been done. it does go to the witch and the restoration project is pretty bad. we, i hope that it will be a noise to see who if she be she with what was but this started very soon this race project itself was such a natural, you know, sheet so that,

and that's good. i think it's built. so i school some intuitive category, my phone, tooth pillows, wouldn't get to the 1st the, uh, the, but our specialist. so and rescuers of ours, so to speak, and to the science of a i. and all of that comes together to help us achieve this great feats. so maybe we could expand that work and that experience and the use, it's someplace else in the middle east. there are lots of monuments, great historical sites that needs to be restored and what have built of andrew a little bit when you 1st of all, i'd like to thank you. great science as i was your name is well known worldwide says and i'd like to thank you and the government you for actually is to you cuz they're still not sure which one. the next one was issued q starting all of this uh, great endeavor mirror. i know that some of the people like you have been seamless image so especially if i'm going to that part of the world to and you deserve

uploads for your work. yep. us and let them know. let me remind me to remind you about the meeting with the team. should we? we used to see what the estimate team of our specialist went to. palmera fighting was still opinion different going on. the people were essentially risking their lives to protect aren't looks the different way more to protect disgrace, good monuments might get the best deal with it. and you see the note that says you've created the, the modal, all the rebuilt arch, right? the but make sure that you have to protect it. yes, i think i'll be able to make sure that all should explain that. so there's a new computer on the modal, no condition as much as, as a prototype inspection. and we've all ready to create that attends um this is going to if the project is going to be completed. now that issue as well as for the other

and this constant thoughts across the world. well, certainly we need to create conditions for work like that. so to continue so that you should be able to, i know, just bear with me. maybe we can talk about the person that was in kansas triple palestine, but it's maybe it's too early for that or just maybe sure, but there are a horrible things happening there right now. we didn't lose the find them, but i'm sure that currently the environment there is not suitable for work like yours and they go to the maybe in the right. you'll know, in some regions of the rack, we could think about something or student with 3 starting such as projects like that. um, assisting you with this viewing, but we are capable of that's and i'm sure that's our colleagues in the world will help us and support us. that's the thing that we would they use to price category.

this is an outstanding strong service that's become known worldwide. so as good as i particularly much that go away. but mr. president, let me tell something that shows you certainly true of to your visit to kind of to can focus on my colleagues from catholic understanding of thought of the things that people and will cherish have it sounds cool, get the i started to write expensive things about russia and, and russel, they started to run by something, so that's cover to sign and i usually go very well pressure way. so, or maybe let's tend to have a fun though. with that my, like really beautiful. present. put me into public. good. thank you. first off of us, the little, let me, sir, thank you for the warm welcome o 4 o delegation here in russia.
