and not only should those countries those western countries respect the independence of the russian federation but they should also respect the independence of the russian judicial system and any other democratic country in the world the judicial system of the russian federation is its own branch. of the russian federation and the legislative branch and the executive's branch should not meddle in judicial decisions and so this authority of the russian courts must be respected not all of the by the russian government but also by governments around the world and they cannot ask for a government intervention and at the same time the mon the russian courts have the freedom to decide in judicial mattress and yes a very interesting point also another aspect during the case germany has been dragged into to the construction of the gas pipeline with russia do you think the future of nord stream too is at stake here we've been heard vocal declarations now from france of course the us before that what's your take on the issue. francis suddenly shifted its position on not seem too and it might be that the

if you know if assad has i'd be in the european union russian federation and they would like to express our regret during the pandemic a big run up when it's a deliberate suppose to get united the work together. all the countries in the world few with because of the viva so uses some forces in the european union let me put it this way though if the pay use you pay is tough subject matter to blame but it's russia and. obama's information campaigns i think russia with some cred actions said russia is right to help out with less abby wind including countries from europe and union to scabies fight her but a centrist fire is if you and soon believe that we want to give up its information or preserve the old days insinuations i think it should be a bit much to agree to start one more channel with the european union souls at all this conversations without information emerge to have some ground swell but we discussed this concern at the professional level of souls because it's. is separate proposal is still on the table and we are ready to discuss all but matter it's about what they ideas all t

real prison that just short of 3 years so there is that understand surely you the russian the russian federal prison service the release statistics just lately showing how many people like election of army are there each year how many of them have their suspended sentences swapped and you know world retracted and turned over into turned into real ones selection of only he's of course he stands out because he tries to be a political figure because he's an outspoken kremlin critic which are many and most of other people have the prison terms aren't election of ali still his case is not unique to russia and this is this is the message that russia is trying to convey subtly or through a look at some of the western headlines of. the house and a popular actuators around 4 percent that's a short that was in the studio with me many thanks well some countries including the u.s. have already suggested imposing sanctions on russia over the values case we spoke to our guest bush about thoughts on the whole matter. it's just the hypocrisy of the west as we know it and this is it at its finest how can the

do not you deserve it pretty mention would be to us that there are accusations against the russian federation as a child that something may do so we're all more honest opinions errancy we are not going to put numbers of those french folks we don't need any elise the principal i think understand what we're talking about here. specialist and the last question you posed. for a representative. of. mike was dreaming of course. i know you already talked about that in the introduction but there is. the thing i did and you repeated. you're ready to talk about that in doing in your introduction ok but i would repeat the same question which message or do you convey to mr lavrov regarding the sentence if i say no bunny under repression of the peaceful demonstrations if you could elaborate a little bit more on that 2nd question about the sanctions do you think it's possible that the european union will adopt in the near future sanctions against the 8 people naming the least of it did but by now bonnie thank you so much. well i can only repeat what they have already said in my 1st words. had been talking

and look at the events of the past several months as your lead and discuss domestically the russian federation has cracked down on the heroic civil society actions in just pain supporters of their position leader of only into dave course the russian government sent his new volley to at least 3 years in prison on spurious probation charges that he violated his probation quote unquote after he was believed to have been. had the security services of the russian federation are widely believed to have poisoned a sort of all the with the weapons chemical agent not the chalk last fall add to that russia's actions a broad including cyber attacks on both sides of the atlantic election interference legibly placing balinese and american service personnel in afghanistan and moscow's continued aggression towards ukraine you have a nation that continues to pose real authoritarian national security challenges to the trans-atlantic community. germany let's let's look at this example maybe a little a little closer on one hand is accusing putin of disrespecting the rule of law on the other hand there standing b

hungary is blocking the ukraine natoship, but that is also support against the russian federation as diplomatic. sanctions are the first and foremost and what is interesting is in the same basket as sanctions, president zelensky is continuing the policy of the previous administration of sanctions against north korea. the issue is that it is financial. [indiscernible] while the signals confirm the new ambassador to the ukraine of the united states, we are waiting a few days that that will be officially announced. the minister of finance will be the new ambassador. the idea is definitely that the main talks she is given is to get as much support, financial support, as possible. we do not see a coherent vision of the administration in ukraine about the relationships with the united states. we get a picture of some central ideas. the new adae feel it is very vague. president zelensky cannot formulate exactly what he is asking from the united states. then we see most of these issues, it doesn't matter, we don't see that much about the development of sustainability, about going further wit

the decision made by the european court was notarried out by the russian federation.s remind ourselves of alexei navalny's journey to this point. a huge protest against the kremlin in 2011 and 2012. his anticorruption publication was publishing about the extravagant wealth of families, and it continues to do so. navalny was convicted of embezzlement. he was given a suspended sentence. theonvention meant he wasn't able to run -- conviction meant he wasn't able to run for president. august 2020 he was hospitalized after falling ill during a fight. he had been poisoned with under agent -- with a nerve agent. he spent months recovering. navalny blamed president putin, but the kremlin denies that the nerve agent was used. in january, navalny was immediately arrested upon his return to russia. he broke the rules while in germany, recovering from being poisoned. western condemnation has been swift. here is the white house press secretary, jen psaki. >> we are deeply concerned by russian authorities' efforts -- decision to sentence opposition figure alexei navalny. like. ever

need not only should those countries those western countries respect the independence of the russian federation but they should also respect the independence of the russian judicial system and saw this off already of the russian courts must be respected not all the by the russian government but also by governments around the world and they cannot ask for a government intervention and at the same time the mont that russian courts have the freedom to decide in judicial matters is so many political prisoners here in the united states the so many reasons to be in the streets protesting here. with so much injustice it's awfully suspicious that. specifically the liberal media has long had this obsession with alexina of on the rusher is a giant piece of the global chessboard so we know that they'll stop at nothing down any impediments to continue to try to go try to militarily and circle russia with nato and try to lay hold of this giant piece of of the world chest. i mention. mexico has become the latest country to sign up for russia's covert vaccine with millions of doses set to be delivered in the

opponents not only should those countries those western countries respect the independence of the russian federation but they should also respect the independence of the russian judicial system and so this authority of the russian courts must be respected not all of the by the russian government but also by governments around the world and they cannot ask for a government intervention and at the same time demand that russia courts have the freedom to decide in traditional mattress various governments that have come out to criticize the kremlin and washington to quantum of all they are acting as we could have predicted just as the kremlin has acted as a group to. question in the present which is done everything possible to deserve the west meaning particularly the states. and to a lesser degree germany or ring leaders you know propaganda move if there were fire russia to draw attention toward the one seen with political developments in the west going back to the storming of the capital which was quite monsters compared to everything that's happened in russia in the last group which. the world's riche

addressing this because russia is violating international obligations that the russian federation has it's an edge of so you say that the kind of nations are important 1st step what is the 2nd step because we know that the e.u. for example has already imposed targeted sanctions because of the poisoning of alexina vonnie so what should come next and you know if the 2nd step is sanctions in in your opinion can they really make a difference. i think it is important that's the to. send a double message to russia those terms of the government as those of the society that we are. strictly looking at the insurance to construe to international obligations when it comes to the freedom of speech to the freedom of assembly to the rule of law. to compliance with judgments of who are people who are human rights to which russia is a professional party. but at the same we are considering all options to increasing the pressure. and make clear also to the russian leadership that there is a price to pay that there is a cost to this behavior. and this is going to unfold over the next couple weeks should

journalists the union of journalists of russia sent an appeal to the competent authorities of the russian federation requesting to check the legality and validity of bring in sergei snowden off to justice well i can tell you that this isn't the only case when legal action against individuals for things like tweets in this country the kremlin decided not to comment on mr smear noffs particular case because they're saying it's not up to them to decide it's up for the court and the law enforcement agencies to deal with that although mr putin's press secretary said that in no way the russian government is trying to somehow hunt the or silence those who are trying to criticize the russian government again the spokesperson of the kremlin is pointing out that the reason for such action was the number of provocations during these protests and just the scale of calls for on sanction demonstrations executives there is no repression there are measures used by the police against violators of the law against participants in illegal actions during the actions direct and multiple attacks on police took place which

been able to seal the deal with moscow to 12000000 people we spoke with the president of the russian federation vladimir putin and he was genuine and cool deal i invited him to visit mexico and thank him for the decision to send us 24000000 doses of the sputnik the vax and over the next 2 months. argentina was the pioneer in trying out sputnik among latin american countries the 1st jabs arrived and when osiris at the end of december and after getting the data on side effects only one percent of those who receive the shot have some sort of issues but as loudest went on to order 22000000 doses with the latest batch having just arrived the president and the vice president have both taken the russian vaccine argentina has been dubbed the global testing ground for moscow's vaccine dr well so far so good and the infamous curve in the country has gone past its peak in the united country with more people bucks in then in latin america. how we could see in the only percent of the workers because we had only to find the scenes in the theaters and the use of much now we are receiving 5000000 more of those

relations we saw the united states observe that iran started getting closer to the orbits of the russian federation as well as the chinese government the chinese government in terms of the economic relationship and terms of russia for instance providing russia the ability to use iranian air bases and hama don so these are all things that are in a medical it's a broader u.s. security interests and of course we are long aware of the fact that you know there are certain level of al qaeda individuals that pretty senior level who still call iran home and that passive support provided by the iranian regime is problematic to say the least i would just go into just at the end here that i disagree with the trump administration assessment of the level of the support to al qaeda it's passive supports it is a chip that iran has quite frankly and there has been a past where they're willing to actually i'm just sitting or trading these outside individuals living in iran see united states and they they offer them up to trade them for the any case for instance the mujahideen e caught about a decade ago so these ar

in there from cats that is a bird on the map 800 kilometers south of moscow but still in the russian federation that's the capital of a new facility the most populous town in the north caucuses you can see the mess there often think there's been a gas explosion at a supermarket security guards been rescued from the rubble after a massive explosion tore through the shop earlier on because look last year to be established there thinking if this is really stage of the investigators haven't confirmed it it's probably a gas leak or gas explosion look at the deadly this place up to the level to the ground emergency services as you can see there at the scene trying to clear up the mess. at the moment we're just hearing that one person has been injured despite the destruction that you are seeing there of course let's hope that doesn't change we're going to be worse if it does we'll let you know this is r.t. international. we've got the 3 headed vigilante coming our way we've got the bond vigilantes are coming back there stranded drug dealers shorting bonds now it means that he is going to try to force

journalists the union of journalists of prussia sent an appeal to the competent authorities of the russian federation requesting to check the legality and validity of bring in sergei snowden off to justice. well i can tell you that this practice of starting legal action against individuals in this country because of things like read tweets that has been a reason for plenty of arguments here in the russian society the crowd one decided not to comment on this case specifically because they're saying it's up to the courts to decide. different kind of authorities are going to deal with that but for instance the press secretary of the russian president dmitry peskov said that the russian government isn't looking to suppress any kind of opposition voices he said the reason why action was taken in this particular case is what i mentioned before the involvement of minors and unprecedented level of probing cations. and you contributed to assure you there is no repression there are measures used by the police against violators of the law against participants in illegal actions during the actions direct and mul

ongoing pandemic offices you used for this what demonstrators have resisted arrest meanwhile russians federal security service has released footage of plotting to show a secret meeting between one of his on his closest associates and a british intelligence officer some time ago the f.s.b. claims britain is actively involved with the russian opposition providing them with financial support and intelligence details of a spy scandal involving a fake rock dating back 220006 were also shot with the f.s.b. saying it only illustrates the sky bonus of russian interference british and french while the in russian of fat as. breaks down what's being revealed. as spin is it does he would but everyone does it it's a. ricky business high risk high reward pull it off and you hit jackpot and no one ever finds out but when you mess it up it's a world of them barrus mint as was the case 15 years ago out of the blue a senior british diplomat develops the oddest habit of during an inexplicable walks through the strangest of places at the same route every time now alarm bells are ringing yet but ross encountered

disarmament resume is you don't think despite the welcome recent decision of united states and the russian federation to extend the new start treaty now 2021 must be the year to get back on track and pandemic recovery is our chance the head of the world health organization has welcomed the billions of dollars in additional funding that's been pledged for the kovacs and if that initiative but says that there's a race against time to vaccinate the entire global population the longer it takes to suppress the virus everywhere the more opportunity it has to change in ways that could make vaccines less effective and opportunity to mutate we could end up back at square one more vaccines are being developed approved and produced that will be you know for everyone but for no vaccine side a limited resource we must use them as effectively as we can philanthropist philanthropist bill gates told the conference that the impacts of climate change will be far worse than the pandemic. in the case of the pandemic the good news is that a single miraculous tool the vaccine once we make billions of them for the entire w

multiple a you diplomats is in no way justified in further damages relations with europe if the russian federation does not reconsider its decision this will not remain unanswered so that's germany's position and i feel a sense of they will listen to the e.u. foreign policy chief joseph burrell talking about sanctions but the sanctions that is no proposal by the time being by any member state. discussion will continue on the next train a fresh country of ministers and cultural duty union leaders we have in march so bad riegert help us out to germany says expect a response europe says that response won't be sanctions so if no sanctions want. well i think germany is not expecting you sanctions in this diplomatic spat as i said the expulsion of russian diplomats would be the appropriate answer but the epa tide the atmosphere is hardening the up a tide for sanctions is is going up maybe in the european union in the vote in the case and in other cases there are lots of sanctions already in place against russia because of the an exemption of crimea they have severe economic sanctions that targeted sanct

you have to remember the european union is still the most important trading partner to the russian federation it's also the largest sort of a source rather of direct investment was in the country so it's hard to imagine a scenario where moscow and the e.u. could completely sever ties and perhaps the honest i mean. the the relationship has been live and loaded with sanctions since the crimea conflict and since the conflict in ukraine and they're still talking to each other they're still working with each other so it's kind of hard to imagine a scenario where they could completely break off ties and you also have to look at the context that these statements were made and it was made on a live stream of a russian journalist and there's a lot of you over who is often considered to be one of the kremlin's chief propagandists he often gives the kremlin an avenue to help shape the conversation within the country so these statements it does seem because they were taken place in that live stream it seems they were more intended towards domestic consumption as opposed to being some type of message dire

opponents not only should those countries those western countries respect the independence of the russian federation but they should also respect the independence of the russian judicial system and so this fora t. of the russian courts must be respected not all of the by the russian government but also by governments around the world and they cannot ask for a government intervention and at the same time that russian courts have the freedom to decide in traditional mattress with various governments that have come out to criticize the kremlin and washington to conduct more war than they are acting as we could have predicted just as the term was that it was a group who took to. the question in the present which is everything possible to preserve the west meaning particularly the states. and to a lesser degree germany or ring leaders in the propaganda mood. to draw attention to. the worst going to be. monsters compared to. the russian. a team from the world health organization has visited. 3 in the chinese city of which has been at the forefront of speculation about the origins of covert 19 cars carving
