it's an essential tool used by banks all around the world to wire money to one another. now trillions of dollars are transferred vs with between over $200.00 countries and territories and $11000.00 financial institutions. here's how it works. now say a business in germany, once to wire money to an institution in russia, swift will coordinate the transaction transaction using an intermediary bank in the united states. now, if russia were to be kicked out of swift, it would limit its ability to receive payments from abroad and including 4 key exports like oil and gas. no. earlier i spoke to maria shanina. she's a visiting fellow at the finished institute of international affairs who has described cutting russia off from slipped as the nuclear option. i asked her, what would happen if russia does lose access to that system? technically swift can be replaced with alternative c have tell x rushes own and turn it to be a fast. but all of this a turn it is will be slower, technically more cumbersome and it also be less secure. but the question whether swift is the nuclear optio

and the increased use of food banks indicates it's, it's not an issue. as you pointed. an issue of there isn't enough food. there's been more than enough food globally speaking on a per capita basis for the last 60 years. the issue always when there's a rise of hunger, malnutrition, and especially famine, is always indicative of a political failure of the failure of institutions not doing what they're supposed to be doing, and politicians not being responsive to people's needs. who concern today, what's happening with ko it's cov, it is made existing problems, worse. hunger was on the rise even before the pandemic. and there were a lot of endemic problems before the pandemic. and what the pandemic is done is it's complicated supply chain issues. but the term supply chain destruction is to abstract what it means is workers in aggregate in farms, workers in the supply chain, workers and restaurants are getting sick, they're not being protected properly. so what it's showing is how we treat the people who are essential to keeping us well fed has always been problematic. i'

in addition, the central bank called out the usual concerns about money laundering and potential harm to investor. so let's take a look into the deeper and joining us how to do so is boom by co. busy crypto analysts, chris, the i now chris the, because nearly every other central bank has made this declaration about crypto currency from asia to the united states. does the stance mean much it? and i mean, you know, if the central bank says something, do they have to basically get everybody else on board? i mean, not at all. look, this news basically did even register for bitcoin. maybe because they coin is now so used to this news anyway, every single day we have a new bad every day. another regulator thinks that they can strangle into submission. so instead of being worried, bitcoin instead, 3rd bringing above the $43000.00 mark of resistance this morning. so rather than learning from history and not repeating the same mistakes, it looks like russia is just going to try to go down the same path as china and repeat all of their mistakes. because at some point it just becomes laughable when countries try to do this. maybe it would have work. one big o

include removing russia from the international payment system called swift base in belgium. swift is used by banks around the world to wire money to one another. and here's how it works. swift handles trillions of dollars of transactions between them more than $200.00 countries and territories territories. it is used by around 11000 financial institutions. so when a business in germany, for example, wants to send money money to russia, swift coordinates the transactions using an intermediary bank in the us. if russia were to be kicked out of swift, it would limit its ability to receive payments from abroad, including 4 key exports, like oil and gas. and that, of course, would harm russia's economy. for more that i'm joined by the w. as emily sherwin in moscow, emily, the possibility of more sanctions like the bank transfer system, swift throughout an exclusion of russia. from it. how much of a threat is that for russia? well, i think it's worth pointing out. first of all, that the narrative, at least publicly here in russia is look, we've been under sanctions for so many years. we can deal with an
