[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, turkey as opposed to nuclear power plant with nuclear status, with the flank of peaceful atomic energy raised above it, the russian and turkish presidents attend to the ceremony via video league dislike room is about one's health with the u. k stopped short of making safe route, supposed to to means refugees all get rid can't allow everyone in the country up in stark contrast to the countries attitude towards ukrainian. refugees brought in the media joins the lead. old briggs, countries in switching away from trading in be with dollars while the one overtakes the greenback as china is currently

with a will welcome. it's a pm, hey, in the russian capital. and this is on the international with the very latest world news update. it's good to have you with us, our top story, ty keith, 1st, nuclear power station i q, u, has the potomac status off to the delivery of this 1st batch of nuclear fuel. the plans will have a full reactors, the 1st of which will be launched this year. the $20000000000.00 plant is a joint turkish russian project. who's in the de, my city. we will certainly supply less natural gas to turkey. taken a great step that we'll place took a year among countries with nuclear energy, with the delivery of fuel r q has gain the status of a nuclear power plant. r, q u is russia, and turkey is biggest common project with a total investment of $20000000000.00. the inauguration, all the plant was marked with

a special ceremony my numbers of 3 generations of turkish citizens. the flank of russia and turkey eye were raised at simone tenuously with a 3rd white flag symbolizing the peaceful awesome it's freedom. a symbolic gesture was witnessed by president putin under to bonfire video link with both leaders welcoming the historic moment. i think maria phenomena was at the plans and things as her report. it's now official in the construction site of turkey as 1st nuclear power plant that you can see behind me got the status of nuclear facility. the 1st batch of atomic fuel arrived from russia and is currently in the storage. the ceremony is over. it will take some more time before it comes on line. the launch of the 1st a for reactor is it's right there. he's scheduled for 2025 turkey. he's joining the countries using clean nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. he is worth mister air . the gun said about that. i was good in our power plants deserves the title of a strategic one. here. this project will undoubtedly help reduce our natural gas

importance by $1500000000.00 per year, while increasing our national income. the turkish leader took part in the ceremony . here at our core, you buy a video, but still i have to say that it was a huge relief in the last 24 hours. there were many conflicting hard to verify reports and even rumors about out of the guns condition, including that he had suffered a heart attack that he's at the hospital and even that his family was invited for talk with doctor is his appearance and participation here cleared all the questions who had more put in also joined the ceremony by a video praising the project, the biggest team, the history of russia took a year cooperation. i believe that you took a positional math for reaching full design capacity. the plants will be able to provide up to 10 percent of turkey as energy consumption. satisfying the energy needs of the growing turkish economy. moreover, the new nuclear power plant, unlike today, well hi, jo,

carbon fuel based plants will not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which will have a positive effect on the environmental to remove the head of the international atomic agency was also at the ceremony. here it is days after you running to president zalinski published on his social media that he had a talk with mister grossey, assuring him that he should get control over his approach in a nuclear power plant. to avoid catastrophe. i had a chance to ask mr. grossey about that, a lindsey prison just said that he talked to you about that there was a, a nuclear problem and he said that it should be returned under control ukraine to the hood with what we need to do to protect the platen, we are working on the protection of the grant, we hope to be able to do it. so her thank you very much. thank you very much. back to our call you on thursday, we heard a lot about how safe and powerful this future nuclear power plant will be. he is my report from the facility we are at the construction site of turkey is 1st nuclear power plant. aku you and ambitious,

multi $1000000000.00 joint pointer between and for right moscow. the biggest, the ever a, the 2 countries long history off cooperation navy is also the largest nuclear construction site in the world in terms of generating capacity. a number of units been built small tennis claim. but also autumn state corporation generates about 20 percent of the total electricity produced in russia and currently has an immense portfolio of international orders. $34.00 nuclear power units in 11 countries are under construction. r, q. u is by far the biggest among them and truly unique when you goodness. but there are many unique things about this project was all them 3 of them. the 1st of all, this is the 1st bio project in the world. it is also turkey's 1st such project, and finally, an international team is working on it. the operational staff will include both turkish and russian specialist along safe is among the top priorities. as the

deputy general director tells me, the project mates all more than so cold, post fukushima requirements updated following the 2011 nuclear is also in japan. how cool you is said to be resistance to earthquakes, tanami, and even a plane crash. as we move through senior booth, the earthquakes and turkey haven't changed our plans. we haven't considered earthquakes measuring 9 on the magnitude scale. never seen here before. we've taken a range of constructive decisions from and adopted our approach to equipment production. we considered shock waves. blain crushes, blasts, and natural disasters liked salamis in the equipment production. for example, the highest to not me wave in the region was 7 meters are protective structure is designed for 12 meters. all that boast fukushima test will ensure the plants operational safety, safe and powerful. the station will cover up to 10 percent of took. he has electricity needs with grain, carbon free energy. i queer nuclear power plant will have for power units. you can

see them from here. the 1st one almost ready. number $23.00, and the 4th is barely visible. now the words have started recently, russian generation 3 plus we ether is, will be used here with a capacity of 1200 megawatts age. when it comes a line, the power plant will be able to generate power enough to provide electricity to a city the size of a stumble, even before it could start light. now big cities, the project has already given life to new towns and made little villages around the side grow, providing jobs to around 30000 people, new apartment, buildings, education and medical facilities, transport and leisure infrastructure. their regions face has visibly changed with this economy boosted, but there is much more to come. the local mayor believes that took here and russia's decades long, strong working relationship, tested by many turbulent times. he's key to success, to live in the whenever give up friends, half way to kill,

loves russia. russia last took you. these project is one of the biggest turkeys working on incorporation with its ally lava. the plant has been built in the countries mercy province on the southern mediterranean coastline. traditionally agricultural it's fruit and vegetable farms also expands to the regions grow in needs. market prices go up, making the business more profitable for local producers. people's fear is that often surround nuclear projects around the world. a phenomenon known as radio phobia, seem to find little supporters here. yasandra eliano, the power plant is near by, but we are not afraid why, because this area is not earthquake prone. so i don't think the nuclear power plant poses any threat to regions were chosen with the lowest drift or 4th quakes, center region and a q u. so the location for the power plant is safer. on thursday, the 1st batch of fresh atomic fuel will be delivered to the plant grant in it,

an official nuclear status. the fuel was brought from russia with the exact logistics a classified state secret, but it is known that airplanes, boats, and trains were used. the 1st reactors launched is shadowed for 2025, but both countries say chances are high that it might happen ahead of time refill chena r t from turkey in fighting have intensified in for guns, war torn province of defer. thus despite the u. s. broke and sci fi that took effect on tuesday. a video shot by a residents in the provinces campus, so shows black smoke rising in the air, along with the sound of heavy gun fire. witnesses told the french press that war planes have been patrolling the skies over the capitol as soldiers exchanged, artillery, and heavy machine gunfire worsen, cannot accommodate every body of the message from the u. k. governments while responding to where the london plans to welcome sudanese refugees mentioning that ukraine on su, done

a very different you are also coming up with safe routes from ukraine that ukrainian people could get to the u. k. we remember that the various programs that were announced at would it be sensible, fair to do the same kind of thing for people from to that or the situation is at a very different tier, ukraine. and so i wouldn't want to draw those comparisons. would have courses one very obvious difference in that is that the ukranian refugees are white europeans, while those from sudan are black. now the plight of those from ukraine has been used as part of a propaganda war by the british government to soften up public support for britain's intervention in ukraine and the sale of arms to our kia. now we have this situation where around half of the $200000.00 ukraine use, it took advantage of that program as struggling to find accommodation that were initially offered a 6 month contract. this was funded by local authorities,

but those councils are now asking for more money. sudan, sorry, was of course, a british colony until at 1956 and like many other countries written, plundered its natural resources, keeping the people there in poverty was also popping up a number of dictatorial regimes. and as we've heard the situation there is an a is getting more and more desperate. hundreds of being killed in this power struggle between 2 former allies. amity from the rapid support force is the probability group and the head of the army, albert hon. but britain appears to be turned his back on the people of sudan just at their time of need. now the immigration minister, robert jen, rick, he said earlier today that the people of sedan should seek refuge in the 1st safe country in the prime minister. ritchie soon ack said that the company's priority was at the evacuation of british diplomats and their families. and the european union is known to have made a private warnings to the british government saying that it's immigration policy could be in breach of human rights legislation. britain's own equality watchdog has

made a similar, a earnings to the, to the government. this is of course, over its policy which sees aside m. c. because entering the country now will be taken and flown out to rwanda. full of processing that this is of course, a part of the tory government plan to stop the boat stop the people crossing in these flimsy boats from france now so well abraham in the home secretary has been a widely criticized for this policy, including from people that fred, the holocaust in nazi germany and they said that the rhetoric that she's using of the language that she's using i'm is reminiscent of of those times. and of course most famously the former england, it's national for order and pvc pundit gary lenika was very critical of, of the government. but this inflammatory use of language has had some consequences . now fall right. protestors have gathered outside hotels, for example, where many of these refugees have been given a temporary accommodation and temporary housing. but today's intervention and what

we've heard from the government from the prime minister and the other minister shows that britain is really applying double standards and is leaving itself open to accusations of hypocrisy. but it is half assed that can't live with britons. general secretary on the communist party, what bear witness it make many thanks for joining is on the program. and so, you know, the situation in sudan is incredibly dire. the violence in showing no signs of abating. why do you think the u. k is unwilling to open his doors to help there is fleeing a context. well well firstly, because they're out of between somewhere between 3 to 4000 british citizens inches down at the moment. many of them will want to escape the terrible situation that a lot of them will be black because we have a very long standing sudanese community of brittany and my home city of child is

we've had no very well integrated sort of nice people for over a 100 years and one must understand the primary role of, for example, a british embassy, whether it, whether it's donna or in many other countries, the primary role there not to help really citizens. the only interest the written, the rulers would have in a mash evacuation from sudan would be if it directly serve british business interest, or there was a political point to be scored. and i'm afraid she'd been doesn't qualify on either terms. so the embassy and the, the ministry to see it in britain of being very, very slow to react to the situation in terms of evacuating a british nationals. and they have come under some criticism. well that in britain baths both and they might have expected. but certainly, race and color play a part. but as i say,

one shouldn't forget the primary role of embassies over over seasons to represent the fundamental economic, political and military interests of the british states, not to rescue british civilians, so may be endangered. as we heard earlier, while speaking of the b, b. c, the u. k. home secretary said, the situation in sit down is very different to ukraine's do you think that's the sort of comment that people across the u. k. will be noting that heads an agreement to well, a much particularly unfortunate the she uses the same dog with language that we come to expect from quite a number of these government ministers. like you mentioned, rob agenda. it was mentioned earlier on this talk of asylum seekers coming via and cannibalizing britain as well. so resources, so this one in the country that they don't share our british values,

whatever they may be, they contain some files and so on. well, as does every nationality in the world as far as i'm aware. so we're used to this kind of inflammatory language, combined with a refusal to act in any kind of way that can be described as a terrier. i think there's, there's already been pointed out, legislation is going through the central parliament in effectively making illegal to come to britain to see refugee status. so that's good countries. so the international conventions include in the refugee convention the britain has signed up to. but that's the, that's the kind of response would expect from them. and of course, there was a political point to be made in terms of providing refuge for refugees from ukraine. there was a political point to be stored when it came to taking refugees from hong kong and

to some extent, even from our canister. and that's and that's, that's direct economic and political and military interested considering. the british government is not interested what they out interest, of course, is playing up the issue of people arriving by boat in britain to see asylum status. and that's only happening on this scale because there are almost virtually no legal roots. anybody in the room for refugee status in britain, you can't walk into a british embassy anywhere in the world and submit an application. if you're related to a current british citizen or somebody currently residing in britain, you might have a chance under a particular family scheme on other. but other than that, britain has turned its back on the world's refugees. arguing that they should settle in the safe country, they come to, well,

of course anybody try to get to britain is going to have to go via some other country. and therefore, as we're surrounded by water, it's so easy to retreat behind that and to say, well, you know, refugee crises, nothing to do with us as a full load. even though it's the economic operations of british companies under the military interventions of british policy. and so much to create these crises of, you know, as a former colonial power of sudan. would, you might say that person should have a moral obligation to help those in desperate need now, i mean, isn't it the least they can do? well, i think an extra model obligation certainly, but also we have a moral obligation as human beings to help people flee in terror, starvation and war in different parts of the world. that's not an obligation. i'm

afraid that this government recognizes and even the liberal opposition can only make the criticism. for example, this whole scheme to send people to rwanda, they just think it might not be effective. the only criticism of the outlaw and of anybody who arrives here by votes, never mind how desperate the only criticism from the labor opposition is it might not work in stopping over all the books. so i'm afraid the official, the official discussion in britain is dominated by people who have no sense of moral responsibility for refugees and assign them sheets. thank you so much for speaking to today. it's really great to get your thoughts and your insight into the matter. well, but griffith, general, secretary of the communist policy of person, thank you. it looks like a legal bubble. that's the reaction of russia's ambassador, poland. again, andreas over the seizure of russian state acids. the diplomat shows the details. me,

scott says you're really slow. there's. it's the end of february, last year. we've been living without access to our bank accounts, which were frozen 1st by a decision of the polish financial supervision authority and then by the polish prosecutor's office. on march the 2nd, the free period formerly expired, and the accounts were unfrozen, but immediately, all the money was transferred to the prosecutor's office in another bank, of course, without consent, as evidence of a case investigated by the polish prosecutor's office on suspicion that this money is being used to finance terrorism to launder money and so on. we consider this the gross violation of the vienna convention on diplomatic relations. the cases existed for over a year, but the polish prosecutor's office has not explained what the basis for initiating the investigation was for over a year and has been unknown which investigative actions were taken, which at least we were asked no questions and looks like a legal bubble,

the funny thing is, is that when we issued a protest to the polish ministry of foreign affairs, we were told that this is not a case of the polish foreign ministry, but of law enforcement agencies. they recommended we contact the prosecutor's office in court. this is probably the 1st time the ministry of foreign affairs has declared that compliance with international obligations and diplomatic relations under a fundamental document. the vienna convention does not fall within the competence of the foreign ministry. as our funds were frozen in a polish bank. sometime later, similar measures were taken against the polish embassy and russia. the principle of reciprocity operates in international relations. and in fact, it is probably the only thing in the current conditions that is holding back the irrepressible creativity of our polish non partners who are inventing new means to aggravates and confront russia. indonesia has announced shifting away from

using the us dollar in trade. the head of indonesia is at the central bank phase. the country is following the lead of the bricks group of nations. when it comes off the blocks, the big if the economy, china rebuild that its own you and has replaced the dollar as the country's most use tre currency. but aging safety grew by more than $100000000000.00 worth since january. and now amounts to $3.00 trillion un, which equals almost $570000000000.00. bricks countries are rapidly shifting to use their national currencies in trade. russia and india now settle that oil deals in were peace, wal, russia and china now carry out the lion's share of that bilateral transactions and new funds for developing and all new unified briggs. currency are also in the works . although the blocks members have admitted the challenges of such a complex move. well, joining me now to discuss this is our contributor, chris emma, when you, thanks for coming in, chris. always a pleasure to see you. we've learned

a lot of things from you. we've been hearing talk about this new global reserve currency for years now, but nobody seems to have stepped up to the task of replacing the dollars so far. the dollar is still king as they say. so what's changed now? what's different this time around? he has a really great question nikki, i think the real reason is that a lot of countries just haven't had a choice, but the change from the dollar to trading in another currency. because if those countries trade with russia in any way, shape or form right now, the united states that if you trade in us dollars, we will sanction you, put other countries did not have to look at other ways. and, you know, as considering the u. s. have been stepping up the aggression over and over again on china, china, given them a solution, they said, look why didn't use all currency we live in and be, it's a global currency. we control our financial markets in a far more effective way than the united states to go with us. so i think that's why it's happened in such, such a quick fashion. this talk about the ed brick currency. how exactly could a bricks, currency, potentially be implemented? do you think there's

a good chance for book it's been years rather than paper money, things very old fashioned, doesn't it had a feeling you like the direction so yeah, i think we, we, we talk from the program about, for example, russia bringing in that 1st central bank digital currency, we talked about china doing that in the pop china, in fact the had their own block chain if you like, coverage really in circulation for a number of years now. and the, the pilots is the chinese government claimed it was that it went very, very well using that technology means that it is not dependent on any us influence . if you like most money for people who moved with something that you may have seen or your bank statement, if you've ever sent money abroad, it need to a system called swift. swift. it's largely controlled by the united states government, which is what makes it very difficult when you're moving money. it's also very difficult for governments that don't particularly want the united states knowing every single dollar or, or, or whatever currency that they're moving. so using this new technology, i think it's better for everyone, allows governments have more sovereignty and financial systems and to really stop building this new multi potable order, which, you know, we will,

we will talking about these days. i'm a former whitehouse economist the phillip and he said his thoughts on the consequences of adopting a possible briggs currency. let's have a quick listen to what he had to say. if briefs used only the brick referring to possible bricks, currency for international trade, they would remove an impediment that now towards their efforts to escape dollar had gemini. so what are your thoughts on that assessment? i don't think we could put it any better than ourselves if we try. he's really explain what's going to happen. the u. s. a. car of constantly use that currency, essentially a threat against other economy saying look, if you, if you don't pay by all rows, then we're going to make it very hard for you to trade with that. with everyone trade in the, the paper money that we print. i think what he's saying there is absolutely correct once that is gone and it looks like that may have actually just happened. and it's very, very difficult to say how u. s. foreign policy can keep going in the way it has done the timing memoria.

we've seen recently in china, how do you want women be? has the past, the dollar in cross border trade. what exactly does this mean for the global economy? what kind of impact will it have? i think it rapidly changes everything, nicky, because the chinese do that. foreign policy, very different other countries i would say to people when they say, you know, of friends of mine, a home in the u. k. would say to recall the rise of trying to respond. and i'll say, look, give me one country that the chinese have ever invaded. there is a warmth as so that foreign policy in the way they use with fiscal system. this is just my prediction. this is not something i've got any inside knowledge on, but i would say that now when people are looking to try them and be the chinese are offering them that currency at the spot at cost, which means they're not paying. whereas if somebody is buying us dollars to trade, that's what it cost to it. so i think like china going down this path regarding that rapid shift towards the multi part of florida. and that's what the bricks economy is essentially trading with each other without the interference of the us happen in, fall quicker than, than we've, you know, anything we've ever seen in our life part time of substantial changes. i mean,

saudi arabia also switching oil deals with china to the one to how significant other developments is that for the global energy market? i think it's huge, nicky, because let's take saudis to go back in history. the reason the saudi trade with the us dollar in the us dollar was the largest ally at the time. it was it providing with substantial aid, you know, the saudi that we see now on tv with the skyscrapers, wasn't the saudi that that even existed 25 years ago. it's a very different tree. and by moving away the saudis, the same look, we've had enough, have you tried to control us? we've had enough of you essentially flying all your planes in having a military basis of our country for one. and number 2, you're not going to tell us what we can and can't do with our economy. but again, what did they expect a minute to bite and called the leaders of saudi arabia pariah. then when i even tried to shake his hand, didn't go very well, and we saw that as well by the fact when she visited saudi arabia around a year ago, just on the we folders bought the different reception that he got in saudi arabia, as opposed to the us president, i suppose it's going to go one of 2 ways now, isn't it with people with the countries that moving away from the dollar?

it's either going to be phased out or it's going to be the tip of the iceberg. and more countries are going to move away from the dollar. how do you think it's going to go? well, i think it remains to be seen, but i think that the hope is the thing for the international community. i mean, even we thought we saw several of rob chad the un security council this week and we could hear the rhetoric coming out of the other world leaders where countries like brazil saying we are entering a new wealth. we're going to trade how we want to trade u e america. we're not going to tell us how we're doing it. we may be factored new york city, but we're not gonna have by new york rules anymore. so i think we probably about 20 completely different stage of international trade, unlike anything we've ever seen. while hopefully that means prices go down in international trade because the different currency is being used. that has a different mechanism and also hopefully that benefits everyone else. even people in the west, the all trading with us dollars because just the ability to move and to trade and be to see a number of people the minute that money is flowing using their own. something
