there are a number of drivers behind this behavior. first of all, economically the u. s. has a very strong country. secondly, issues the main reserve currency was vengeance continuing to pile of its domestic debt. in fact, it is the whole world that is the u. s. is credited the entire world, could be struggling, plunging into crises while the americans of printing dollars. but that is why they now feel completely unpunished in this respect as well. exactly. for that reason, the u. s. his actions in afghanistan, iraq, in vietnam a few decades ago, had never come any legal scrutiny by the international community authority. however, at the time of the vietnam nor the soviet union was still alive, pushing for quite heavy the banks at multi lateral platform is gonna shuttle, the soviet union, as you know, was looking vietnam back lead blank. the u. s. to shoot it's policy for a long time you shirts, we'll remember the way ended mind you are on the by vietnamese thousands of kilometers away from the u. s. right now it's a fact few people remember even in this country because it

a u. s. president who wanted to take care of the home front, travels to europe, looking to shore up a united front with you. and nato allies can either deliver results that help stem . the conflict and its effects. we're asking biden versus putting. can the u. s. stop the war in ukraine with welcome to to the point. it is a great pleasure to greet our guests. sariah hardy nelson is a talk show host at the common ground. berlin podcast and former correspondent for the u. s. broadcaster and p. r. michel tillman is diplomatic correspondent at the german weekly det site, and it's a great pleasure to welcome back to the show of my colleague roman con charge. if he is a ukrainian by birth and works with d w's, russia language service in boston. and i'd like to begin a if i may, with you sariah, following the trump presidency and the disastrous us exit from asked canon stan, many people doubted whether there was still any will on the part of the us to lead. is that different? now? would you say tha

u. s. currency raised it to a unique position. the demand is so high that the u. s. can print as many dollars and dollar denominated bonds as it needs to finance it's external debt. if any other country tries to do the same, it will immediately face rising inflation. in the case of the us, people will buy dollars anyway. for decades, the dollar enjoyed its unique status. with a tacit consent of the world, its value remained relatively stable because the u. s. economy has been growing steadily unaffected by the turmoil in other parts of the world. oil prices denominated in a stable currency for their part to creased fluctuations in the market. the rising powers, like china and anti american governments like venezuela urged to review the petro dollars system. but the d dollarization was limited to a number of symbolic moves up until now and parallel. and he, russia, sanctions shocked the government officials way beyond russia's borders. india, china and even saudi arabia are now giving a 2nd thought to deep dollarization initiatives. you on jumps after report on saudi'

james, how big of a blow is that to russia, to lose the u. s. as a customer for its oil and gas, this is a big blow to russia by losing the u. s. as an energy comes customer, an injury consumer, the u. s. is the global leader, an oil consumption in this administration, the binding ministration, agree to buy a ton of oil for russia, you know, mix it up a bit not get everything from oven. and the russians were enjoying the funds, allocating it, whichever way they felt fit. and now that money's gone, that's hundreds of millions of dollars. no more. and that's definitely got us thing . and if you're wondering how do you know it's things rush already issued? a warning last week that taking such an action would end up with $300.00 a barrel per for oil in the near future. just to talk and speculation alone led the way for russia to kind of issue that warning. for speaking of stinging, obviously this is going to have consumers very hard and the us now well, when it comes to the american public. uh, they're not too pleased right now. right now in a mobile

instead of following the u. s. a side of natal uses that opportunity to expand. i mean, we stand with the russian people when they say enough is enough. this is a indeed. i want to say you don't, we're to say there's a new global order under the u. s. is opposed to to lead. of course the number of people died. that's scary. you know, people would ask us, prepared to, to do something all to involve beep or in the war you crim that man, you know more people who to be killed. so this is problematic to say the least 2 years a bull when he became the american president was supposed to be the distinctive liberal, who uses a gentle mental language right now. he called the russian president award criminal . i looked and he talks about india. he says, india is shaky in isolating russia. that's not the language consistent with a person who is trying to unite the word, the trunk you. the important place to discuss globally common is that it's a mechanism to resolve economic issues. the challenges and the theme, or the g 20 the, the rebate. a recovery after this make. and he'

a u. k m p. welcome to our international, george galloway now back in 2003. the u. s. used assertions of biological weapons being manufactured as a justification for the are the iraq war. now russia now accuses the u. s. of apparently helping ukraine develop such a program. again, the u. s. is not commented on this yet, but what do you make of these claims? while you read my mind, these are weapons of mass destruction and this crude, this story is of quite devastating proportions. not only is it brazenly illegal under international law, particularly the law governing the development of biological weapons. it is exactly the that the united states falsely accused the iraqi regime of having developed immediately prior to their invasion and occupation. as it turned out, the well, no iraqi weapons of mass destruction. if it now turns out our american weapons of mass destruction brought all the way close to the border with russia. this puts an entirely new gloss on what has happened over the last 11 days. i was looking forward to all kinds of documents being found in ukrain

u. s. foreign policy aimed at china. and that's not all. a u. s. firm just bought a shipyard in the philippines. might not look like much, just a bankrupt junkyard. well, not quite. the location provides direct access to the south china sea, the main area of china, how, when tensions a message to beijing that we're here to stay. and then there's the firm who bought it. the co founder city feinberg is a washington insider having run companies with close ties to the u. s. millet. he also apparently has a very keen interest in trina. little surprise, it's his fin that bought a shipyard, american 5 ice partner. australia is also very much on board. the sanction china plan with a country's military is having a few recent blushes. it's also splashing some serious cash to try and stop trying as dominance of the minerals market. china currently dominates around 70 to 80 percent of global critical minerals production and continues to consolidate its hold over the supply chains. this initiative is designed to address that dominance that phasing won't be bu

and while it seems much smaller than china or the u. s. a represent a greater share of the russian economy. switch companies are the biggest players in defense. well, u. s. company lockheed martin makes the f $35.00 is one of that's where the largest net is industry with sales of 66000000000 dollars last year. it's followed by europe's air boss and 2 more u. s. companies, raytheon technologies, and boeing. now the stock home international piece research institute tracks military expenditures around the world. i asked their senior researcher lucy bl, road suits role to put recent events into perspective. we are a sing at the moment, throwing up since all across europe, in particular for increasing the trees furniture, but also in canada, which is also in natal member. and of course countries are reacting to the outbreak of the war in ukraine. countries have, are actually not making decisions through the dormitory expenditure and reaching the 2 percent target said by nato. something that has been us to do since 2014 but are now really making a

and so this would have a tremendous impact. in fact, the u. s. president saying it would really level a crushing blow to russia's economy. and in fact, the u. s. president tweeting just a moment ago that already the.

the polish government leadership has asked for it, made a mission on the ground in ukraine, which was rejected by the u. s. has a, has suggested fighter jets, a post fighter jets, to be brought to ukraine to help defend the airspace. also something that the u. s . has rejected. so it says some people are expecting more than the president or what the americans are willing to give. and it's appears all right, to w, a max out of reporting from poland. thank you very much. but for the wes, this war is as much about energy supply as it is about humanitarian disasters. climate campaigners have long said, we need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels in favor of renewables as a big part of the message from the fridays for future movements for climate change . as campaigners are holding protests across the world, including this one today that you see here in berlin, to demand action, be taken to stop the climate crisis. the student led movement is demanding an end of the war in ukraine, which is being partially funded. they say by european payments for wash and gas coal, and while like to welcome back's atlanta roma

u. s. has been sensually, i look at a desperate of the product people q by the us bullets and the u. s. has engaged in huge this formation campaign to demonize is a bursaries, if china sanctioned russia, the results are catastrophic. not only that, the peoples of portia and china suffer from higher prices and the lack of goods and foot. it is cornering show, a strong new to the of power. i don't think anyone want to see things even more dramatic to happen. increasingly, many entities realize that any security solutions in the region without the involvement of russia will be a disaster. china is on the side of humanity. in general. i think it is what the right side of history and tails and washington traditional middle east allies are also unhappy with us attempts to control global oil supply. some of the world's biggest crude export is, are increasingly resisting america and looking to bypass the use of the dollar in that trade ortiz where to blevins explains after years of involvement in the middle east, the u. s. now appears to be losing his grasp on some of the closest allies in the r

u. s. appears to be losing its influence over the u. a has also reportedly declined biden's call and it's been of turning to the u. s. for support. well, they're turning to a leader that the u. s. has been years trying to overthrow that threat this week. officials hosted syrian president bashar assad and his 1st visit to the country since 2011. and that's, i would say the us hasn't tried to use the current tension or the rewards even noting that the bi ministrations that a new batch of weapons. it's aw, you're ravia, after denying them last year for pottery b, i continue increases dominance as it moves away from the us. they are showing that they can live without america, but can the current american economy live without them? in washington, rachel bobbin archie moscow say it says it's a shame that the international chess federation has suspended russian. grandma so sick, a cardiac came from competing in their events. also his support were most goes operation in ukraine. the 6 months suspension was announced off the cardiac consent, an op

[000:00:00;00] a ah, the u. s. warrens china not to support russia's military actions in ukraine, but beijing says it won't bout us pressure. moscow and chip struggle to come to an agreement on key issues over resolving the ukraine conflict. that as fighting continues with reports of civilian casualties and destruction of residential areas. british media regulator off. com revokes our teeth broadcasting license and citing the conflict. any crane and the networks, quote, relationship with the russian federation or the fed to watch dogs move was politically motivated. ah, broadcasting live direct, more studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us now we start with the latest developments in the ukraine conflict. vladimir putin emphasized, in a phone call with french presidential manual micron on friday, that russia is doing everything. it tend to ensure the safety of civilians in ukraine, particularly by providing evacuation roots now put and also accused natio

u. s. for trying to coerce beijing during a call between the country's leaders on friday. now the u. s. had warned china not to provide material support to russia over the conflict in ukraine, but china issued a swift and cutting response may war as the culprit of the ukraine crisis. why does the u. s keep smearing china, instead of reflecting on the security predicament in europe caused by the eastward expansion of us, lead nato. why doesn't the us reflect on its hypocritical move of watching the fire from across the river after fanning the flames? the least thing the us should do is to sling mud china, which is not a party directly concerned. the despicable move of the us only serves to reveal its guilty conscience and true intention to shift the blame and profit from the ukraine crisis. weeks and weeks have seen both politicians and the media shift, they gaze eastwards to china. for some this has been a wake up coin, a turning point. the waste realizes it needs to f. now to contain and assertive basing and things have become heated. g u. s. has been spreading successive disinformation

a gas transmission system operator of ukraine. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. before we go remind her of our top story, u. s. president joe biden has announced a ban on importing brushing oil and retaliation for the invasion of ukraine. biden's move comes as the u. s. is already struggling with rising fuel prices and inflation. and that's all for me and the business team here in berlin for more from us, check out our website, t w dot com slash business. until next time. take care to the point. strong opinions with clear positions, international perspectives, the humanitarian crisis in you crazy turns to find food, hating rules or medicines, rolling desperately short supply, still russian forces continue that pounding of civilian targets. how much pain will the people of ukraine face fido to the point? to point with dw, ah, through russia has bonded mine arrangements for comparing order the words forth more with a man with the memories of a woman, ali and from syria is born in a female body. forced into marriage, break to his escape, the journey of his life, ah, far from home, ali can finally become the pers

blue s i b a u. s a b a. is it that need to buy a chef? no. j h o f j. i did that one. meliss troy by such a mud, which i was up to show from that was a joke or scholar for sure you to him with that, but i was gonna go in office smith and on here he faces the reality that the inhabitants of unconquered don bus have lived for almost 3000 days a reality that all too many choose not to see a this oh oh oh, i me o in? ah, ah, ah ah in, ah, i i the ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk the so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating. but nobody lean fi

a prominent u. s. policy adviser, the rand corporation uses a report about how to cripple russia without engaging in battle. ah.

don't if you can see him as a u. s. secretary of state antony blinking. clearly there and also you k, m a foreign secretary, las trus who was there in a red jacket. all is leaders meeting together to discuss the situation in ukraine, bring each other up to date with where they stand on the the situation. but to as both emron and our diplomatic correspondent james base was saying earlier on, not a tremendous amount of hope within the ukraine that these talks which are going to be followed by talks amongst the e you members and also g salmon members are actually going to lead to anything significantly tangible or greater than what is being offered at the moment. well, let me bring you up to dave's given what a man has told us about the situation on the ground as well as our correspondent robin bye. let me just bring you up to date with showing you in some maps, but the situation is like on the ground areas in red here are held by russian forces and the separatist allies, ukrainian forces in muddy up all that the port cit

u. s. say a bay would increase exports to try to minimize the lumen global food security crisis, paused by russia's invasion of ukraine. then came the e u summit. joe biden would like to see his european counterparts do more to put pressure on russia, especially by targeting the energy sector in sanctions for his part. biden's administration has ended. all of the united states is energy imports from russia, each member countries that poland and the baltic states, one figure appeared, union to do the same bat that has been rejected by countries whose economies depend on russian gas. among them is germany whose chances are all of short said, a ban on russian energy would plant his country and europe into recession. buddy, your leaders did agree a deal with biden to buy more liquefied natural gas from the u. s. we will present um a new chapter in our energy partnership. it is about additional ellen g from the united states for the european union, thus replacing the russian elegy we had so far an imp

u. s. is already been diverting to europe and there's a clear commitment and a lot of flexibility on the u. s. side, because essentially they are producing a good deal of l n g. and they are able and willing to divert it to the highest bidder. in other words, this is definitely going to have an effect on the market and on prices. the prices of fossil fuels have been sor ring as we have seen. and we can certainly expect them to continue to do so, but it's obviously key for europe to when itself, off a russian natural gas, which until now has been about 40 percent of you gas overall. and for 2 reasons. number one, to avoid sending revenues to what president soleski of ukraine has called president putin war machine. and secondly, to start making themselves more independent from russia, in case of an energy embargo on russian fossil fuel imports. and that could come not only from the you itself at the moment e u member states are blocked. some of them want an embargo. others are dragging their feet including germany. but it could also come from the russian side, for example, in the form that we

a u. s. president who originally wanted to take care of the home front, travels to europe, looking to shore up the united front, with e. u and nato allies. biden versus pu team can be us, stop the war and ukraine to the point with on d w a. the destruction of a nation, iraq. mm. if you remove a regime, something needs to be created in its place. otherwise, a vacuum is created and that is usually filled with no furries force of the rise of ins. evil approached, put forth a part of our series in 75, d w. m. a man with the memories of a woman. ali from syria is born in a female body. forced into marriage, raped far from home, ali can finally become the person he's always wanted to be. i was born in berlin. starts march 30th on d, w. y frankfurt, a. have a lot international gateway to the best connections, off road and radio. located in the out of europe, you are connected to the whole world to experience out standing shopping and dining offers, enjoying our services. be our guest at frankfurt a

u. s. live alliances will be actually cancels, be also off for regime change in the other congress. i also see limits to the u. s. power to the u. s. a. to, to lead, to act as a be level of hedge more because the level of huge amounts they produce global public goods. and they offer something good, something positive to the congress that they would want to engage in their system. what does the united states offer now to congress the washington wants to support the us and to contain russia. what does the united states offer? 2 countries like china, india, brazil, except for threats, except for black male in the threats of new thank. since the sanctions, nothing, it means that, you know, the united states, of course remains a leader and the kitchen wall, but for a very limited number of countries, especially in europe and some countries in asia. but as for the rest of the world, we're really watching the birth over new international system over new era in the development of the international system, with much greater pluralism ever since with much greater independence in terms of the posters, a different sense or i institutions, you kn

we recently saw a former u. s. congress, woman tulsa gathered widely attacked. was she res, concerned about the bio labs in a video that was circulated on youtube. we saw not only allegations that her assembly bringing it up, i approved her to be a russian asset. we saw calls for her to be prosecuted simply for talking about it down and in the states. there is just a refusal to engage with anything that russia is saying to examine the evidence that russia is presenting. there is, seems to be no concern about the real threats to public health in this situation or the reality that it appears that the united states was working with ukraine to develop biological labs that were carrying out military operations. this is a very, very serious issue in the united states seems very concerned about the use of chemical and biological weapons in other countries and repeatedly raised out of the security council. however, when russia raised this concern and presented real documents signed by us officials, a lot of evidence to back up their claims that we saw the i did states si

u imports from america stand at 22000000000 cubic meters annually. the use annual dependence on russia is a 150000000000 cubic meters, though. so the increases from the u. s. won't be enough to plug the gap. i know, i know the eliminate russian gas will have costs for europe, but it's not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint is going to put us on a much stronger strategic footing. what isn't clear from the statement is how much more expensive the gas coming from the us will be for europe, or how shipping ports, which are ready nearly a capacity for importing gas will be expanded. liquefied natural gas doesn't just flow through pipelines. like rushing gas does, there's the well, in america, you take a bucket of a gas out, liquify. it put it on a ship, send it across the atlantic, it goes into and import terminal, which will take that liquid gas turn it back into. gosh, it gas. and then it goes into the domestic pipeline infrastructure and then do exactly the same way that the russian would be. but there are all those following the agreement with the u. s. u lead is continued the summit and hit a major friction point over where the government

and so the u. s. a threatening to pen to punish china with sanctions. and that would certainly put the economic wealth of china at risk. so certainly a china does not have any interest in that, but it's walking countries walking on a fine line here. the u. s. hopes, the china understands that there is nothing to win in that war and in that conflict . but there's a lot to lose. right now the very many of the old trump era sanctions against china are still in place. so what else would present biden be able to use to apply this pressure? the white house still has not be very open about those options. we know that national security advisor, jake sullivan, very recently enrolled, met his chinese counterpart, and quote, unquote event was very direct about consequences for chinese meddling in the war in ukraine. so the u. s. issued some warnings, they are potentially the us could target chinese semiconductor companies that are using u. s. software equipment. and there are certainly a lot of other vital areas that would hurt the chinese economy. we're, but they'

u. s. began to nato began to encroach all the way up to the borders of russia, which you get in the u. s. would never have tolerated right if, if the, if there was a warsaw type packed up in, they had troops in mexico. the u. s. never would have tolerated that fact. the last time they tried something like that in cuba. 19 to we almost went to war over it. so now of course the u. s. is a completely unreliable negotiator on any of these 6 by the way, i think that's why zalinski is trying to find a way out and i agree that the u. s. was not truthful with it, they thought they would, the u. s. for back him up on this and of course they've done nothing. um, so yes, i think the international system has broken down. the u. s. in particular, has intentionally destroyed it. bit by bit. the attack on serbia was a big part of doing that. and so what is there to appeal to? and i think we have to start asking what is there to appeal to internationally for these sorts of things. and we need to start creating something that's real to do that if, if we, if we really handle dan, i don't, i don't want to sound like a broken record, but this was offered in december

many sovereigns, including u. s. a line countries have realized owning massive amounts of dollars lead to an illusion of stability. in any moment, a political decision could lead to that dollar reserve being frozen or seized. the big winner from all of this is likely to be the chinese you want, but of the current sees may also get a beast, russia, and india all looking at a ruble, repeat trade agreement. the ruby is gaining traction elsewhere to the my and my government and tends to initiate similar currency converse, ability for the indian repaid for trade along the border. it shares with india. such changes may see countries reduce dependency on the green back its 6. i think the 2nd world war has been based on the foundations of its credibility. if that's lost, then it could crumble. solid, even sky artsy, paris, a falling asleep to the signs of artillery fire. not knowing whether you survive the night, that's what life has been like over the best part of 8 years for those who live in the so named gray zone separatin

it's also a question of the overall gravity. the u. s. has as it dictates the rules for both policy and condemnation. in fact, just last week, the u. s. declared a genocide of the people in medium are a key member of the southeast asian alliance with some even calling for military intervention. the u. s. government should couple, it's condemnations of mine. mars military with action for too long. the u. s. and other countries have allowed my mars generals to commit atrocities with few real consequences. there have also been tensions with cambodia, which is the chair of the alliance after the u. s and allison arms embargo back in december, claiming it was concerned about the influence of china's military. we urge the cambodian government to make meaningful progress and addressing corruption and human rights abuses and to work to reduce the influence of the p. r. c. military and cambodia, which threatens regional and global security. so washington is sending the message, the nations in the region can't get too close to china or russia, or th

a soviet union, as you know, was helping vietnam. but then the u. s. pursued his policy for a long time. we'll remember the way it ended, mind you vietnam is houses a kilometers away from the u. s. by now it's a fact few people remember, even in this country, because it was a long time ago, but my vietnamese friends said the u. s. intervention in vietnam throughout much of the 19 sixty's killed over 1000000 vietnamese. just think about it over a 1000000. take a look at the map and see for yourself for the u. s. is and way of vietnamese, i am still the u. s. went in and over a 1000000 people died as a result, even then it was never widely condemned. although we had the warsaw pact and the soviet union in place. and after the soviet union disappeared from the world map along with the warsaw pact, the u. s. got absolutely out of control. they think they can do whatever they want . yugoslavia is a case in point. we saw ought to disregard international law. the use of the armed forces and weapons by number of countries including depleted uranium ammunition

so the killing me at the gym if don't you what the u. s. a. b, a. is it that new for us to buy? you know, i'm so i just, i just need to know did i go up change, but i did that one most troy, but it's such a mud which i was out the show from the boucher joke or scholars for sure you to him with that. but i was gonna go in on business and on here he faces the reality that the inhabitants of unconquered don bus have lived for almost 3000 days a reality that all too many too is not to see in oh me. oh oh i in who in? ah ah, ah, ah me ah, i use ah ah ah, in the united states has always had a variety of tools, news and tax on other countries. economic sanctions are, are often just beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the country that you're talking about here. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the whole world. and we need to make rules for the rest because without us there will be k m o n, as in a dares thinks we dare to ask in a still up when you have spoken scott o

u. s. president has served as a u. s. senator, for decades where he was working to achieve these issues. so for him, it is personal. it is something that is important to him. it's something that he believes as he spoke to us soldiers, the 2nd airborne of the border of poland in ukraine, about 24 hours ago. he said, what you're doing matters it in his consequential because again, he believes that this is a tipping point. and the world needs to decide what direction it wants to go and, and to be clear, very quickly, the u. s. president isn't just talking about russia, but he's also talking about china. he's been very clear that he believes democracy will prevail. he knows he has differences with chinese president, she and vladimir putin, the russian president when it comes to this. but the u. s. president is going to lay out his case to the free world and hope that they see his message and by his arguments money. thanks for that. white house correspondent kenny holt has their 1st invoice so well ellia, ukraine's president

u. s. appears to be losing its influence over the u. a has all their reportedly declined, biden's call. and instead of turning to the u. s. for support. well, they're turning to a leader that the u. s. has been years trying to overthrow. that's right. this week officials host is syrian president bashar assad and his 1st visit to the country since 2011. and that's how the se, the u. s. hasn't tried to use the current tension through their boards even noting that the vitamin ministration sent a new batch of weapons to saudi arabia after denying them last year. all thought area continues increases dominance, as it moves away from the us. they are showing that they can live without america, but can the current american economy live without them in washington? rachel blevins are g. let's return now to our top story. they saw the being president puting saying rushes gas exposed to europe should not be paid for in roubles. well, let's cost life to an expert. now get a better handle on what this all means. we should vote a banking and development

andrew, u. s. a national program rushes permanent. representative to the body of silly the bends here introduced the motor. did you, missouri was up also this is a week ago on the request of the russian federation. that was the 1st to catch a council meeting held on this topic. here we asked our western colleagues a series of questions, but they haven't yet responded to them. the representative, the u. s. wasn't able to explain how the statements of the american officials about how there is allegedly no u. s. controlled by laboratories on lee crane. how that tallies with the fact of the present of documentary proof of this kind of cooperation between kevin washington over last week. a new details have come to light, which allows just state that the components for biological weapons were being created on the territory of ukraine. the dog security council document that we distributed this morning and you see in that material you can see the so called to take technical assistance class for certain recip
