[000:00:00;00] the damage will be inevitable most go was if we had cautions this a you, most of the using 90 percent of the revenue and on pros of the russian assets as it is funding poets for ukrainian conflict as conflicting statements coming out of the us as washington stays the protection of palestinian civilians must be a priority point. it continues to support as well as on going more in the south. china last is also the us, the backing the philippines and the mattress disputes between manila i'm stating the problem is contradicts washington's officials, south china,
12:01 pm
same policy. the a very welcome to you is just going 7 pm here in most go and this is on the international with the latest world news update to skip to have your company, our top story this, our russia was the you may be shooting themselves in the foes if they green lies a proposal to use russian money for your trade in foreign policy, chief yoseph guerrero has also to allocate 90 percent of the revenue, unfrozen russian assets to pay for the key of age. and i'm munition most of those days. and these will provoke decades of legal vassals for it to show no, this isn't of a statement in line with the movement towards the destruction of the legal foundations of europe. in an international law, the europeans are well aware of the damage such a decision can bring both to their economy and to their reputation as reliable guarantors of the involve ability of property. the damage will be inevitable. the persons who will be involved in making such decisions,
12:02 pm
the countries that will decide this, they will become the objects of prosecution for many decades. yeah, well it's basically the easy or resort thing to assess will use thinking to new lows. so found its front of the ukraine as we know is the credit is really running dangerously low, munitions. the help that it's expected from the us in terms of money and weapons installing, as they can come to an agreement. they're so eager officials said, hey, what can we do vote, let's use the money that we froze from the russians. and this is exactly what they're doing. the proposal right now is to use the profit acquired from those assets and all from the war. and you for and now let's talk a little bit about these assets. what i was talking about, we have about $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank that was frozen by the west. the majority of that money is held by a company who real clear in belgium, and they have made done their math. and apparently, all this money,
12:03 pm
this profit could yield them about 15000000000 up to 20000000000 euros after tags until 2027. so this is the money that they can use to fund the award decline supply weapons and all of that, this is what they're proposing right now. so joseph burrell decided to propose this to e member states. i send to the come shield proposal. i've come, she'll decision a proposal for that control decision to allocate the bulk of these revenues to do to be in union financial capacity. and this proposal is about to allocate 90 percent of these revenue due to the beast facility on the tops will defy billions. not them substitution off, but adding to these 5000000000 revenues generated by this pros and assets. you know, that to increase to military support to ukraine. so it's so far, so there he is, there he propose that we are getting reports right now that apparently the european
12:04 pm
commission has approve that plan even though there was supposed to discuss this and vote on this app that you liter summit taking place on thursday and friday, but we are now getting reports of the european commission has approve that most of the moods like inside the u over this proposal. but originally the idea was yes to use these assets to use this profit to help with bill ukraine for reconstructions was mandatory in a, and some of the member states were agreeing with this the way that went along with it. but they didn't like, the idea would be used in any militarily, sort of ways. and it was or sort of underlying that european commission progressive, who have been really into ideal, hey, listen, only use this for humanitarian purposes. let's actually use where we need it most to buy those weapons that you claim badly since they are not able to do it themselves. let's have the russian money do it to for them. and a lot of people and nobody appreciating all these new ideas that are still of underlined sheep. simon. recently there was
12:05 pm
a growing discontent against fonder. lion for improvising said an e u diplomat. diplomat said fonder. lions approach is particularly disadvantageous for smaller members. states that have more to gain from collective decision making . now we have all these countries that are not agreeing in terms of these assets being used to help buy weapons. but joseph morrell, for example, says, well, this is a brilliant idea of why, because it's not, they're not using the easy bunch of this money would go to a special fund that is called the european needs facility, which is itself in itself to have the word piece and there, and this fund runs all budget. this doesn't have to abide by the same legal standards or even be approved by the european parliament. but also this is really bad in terms of what it does for countries that want to, for example, hold their money in western reserve, is because this shows them, hey, if one day in the future, you happen to disagree with the west. they can always seize your assets,
12:06 pm
use the profit he's in the european central bank. before said that cesar ross and assets will undermine confidence in the your current c, n e u markets. but apparently now joseph or else as well they're, they're back in the plan because it's only the prophets that we're using, but the message and the idea that they're sending through the world is exactly the same. this is again, another message we're hearing from experts. be careful when you're doing things like that. the short of the global currency can actually go further and use its financial power to actively influence international development. but this by work must be used wisely. because when, when icing currents may stimulate dimensions of alternatives, and unless i forget that russian courts can always with tally aids, because that's a company that holds the majority of the frozen russian assets, the euro clear in belgium. well, actually, right here in moscow, they have the national securities that add up to 33000000000 euros. so russell
12:07 pm
could retaliate and then sees their assets. so we'll see how it ends up. and we're still waiting to see whether it was actually finally officially approved or whether this will be discussed and put up to vote at the summit on thursday and friday earlier we hi, so i'm gonna back, can you work in paula? remember, for the alternative to germany, positive you say here is i and the proceeds from russian assets because it's running out of cash. the ukraine, the year itself is short of money, whatever needs now, it's either pottery or printed. so this, some decision makers appear to have the thoughts see easy way out the, let's rush, i pay for what do you, i that doesn't have or fix it, cannot spend. but i should like to stress again, this is effectively an act of confiscation. it's a side where i,
12:08 pm
the all the g trans, legal considerations, e and he goes in particular, mrs fund and i have all obviously decided that they will decide ukraine to come on, may more of it and then everything else including the, use the economic, well be a moment that has to take 2nd place in so far as the confrontation with russia is concerned for us, it's the and the as prime minister has personally also to new the re elected president vladimir putin. congratulations on his victory during the telephone conversation. they discussed the dynamic development of that countries, bilateral relations on the other international issues are both sides noted with satisfaction, the mutually beneficial ties in the trade economic, an investment fields in the fields of energy and transportation, developing progressively and dynamically in line with
12:09 pm
a particularly privileged strategic partnership in june, so i'm gonna send everything to movie and the russian president the board. then how did the convolution just a while ago and as the from and read out the conversation happened in a very warm and friendly manner. now they were a number of issues that were discussed during this phone call, but far as prime minister, things are more the congratulations automatically within on a slight victory. he also wished fees, progress, and prosperity for the people of a russia. now the reason what he was one of the 1st one need us to push out a congratulatory tweet message for the newly elected president of russia, the murph within one, congratulations to mister vladimir, putting on his re election as the president of the russian federation. i look forward to working together to throw this trenton the time test of special and privilege to strategic partnership between india and russia in the years to come.
12:10 pm
take a look at some boats to read out the indian side and the russian side, the would use age, special and privilege. 156 spots in a ship. that's something that the boat decides to do was not the 1st time that to really defines and actually speaks. what do you of the kind of bilateral relationship both the countries have in fact, that is something that was also discussed in the california conversations. i like to cooperation between both the countries trade space of the sectors as well. and when you look at the last few years, the cooperation between both the countries is only going off and we're not just talking on, we'd also talking space creed, as well as defense and other sectors. this is a special friendship, as a friendship that opened up new, vast, so to say. but despite west impressions and threats to india,
12:11 pm
india has been deemed that friendship and the bosses shape with russia now also with that telephone conversation. so i'm going to send a range and we'll be swift on time. you're going to do all let's see, is the key to finding solutions to the ukranian war. but of course the conversation went very well, but with the lead has decided to keep in thoughts also the food then has waste. nadine, promoting good luck for the upcoming elections. remembering is due for a general election 4th of july is when we know the results. but you numbers are an indicator of anything, although premium pools are pointing to the fact that the more of the nation really is doing that. now, readings and will be once again for the total warranty of size. the un security council has quote, both faithfully fixed and the cost. you get a sam's, the blogs proposed reforms claiming the representation from global south countries
12:12 pm
. for schultz as the main body of the united nations, with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. how much liquid the security council has been able to deliver on peace and security in the contemporary world with both feet. if i may say so firmly fixed in the past for the p 5 to decide even in the 21st century as to what the rules should go eventually to. the 10 reflects a continuation of any qualities created in the past. 19450, a site. many times a day off of the indian delegation leveled further criticism at the u. n. the country is representative on the line problem, such as the lack of a permanent stays on the security council for countries off the global self. also highlighting the vested interest of certain members and keeping the existing model law for secure to counsel,
12:13 pm
as well as ineffective ways of reaching important decisions. let's discuss this with, i guess. now let's cross live to form a high commission of india to bangladesh. venus, sick re money. thanks for joining us today. i really appreciate your time of festival. can you see the un security council and the going fundamental reforms any time soon? how realistic is this that i think we are approaching to keep moving in today in the future. in september of this year, we have the some of the future coming up at the united nation. then we know that i'll bring you a 60 general antonio quizzes attaching a lot of importance to this. tell me to the future as a review. what did you enter the jeep to fall on how we should meet the future? i'm thinking the next year to 2025 is the age of anniversary of the formation of the un. this is another moment for introspection, for looking into what the un has achieved. is it, let's check. does it clear and effective rooted in maintaining international bees
12:14 pm
in security? is it isn't to us or, and why not? why is not able to be an effective way, either in peace and security for on development issues. i think the they've been made by the government representative india to the you in, in new york, a massive jeff invoice was up in the context of this ongoing negotiation into that into government, illegal stations on he went to jodi cards and reforms that had been held in new york this entire week and um, the question is on us, did you already gone through a reform india again as the highest importance to you? and so you already gone through the fall is because the fees and what are the major reasons that the u. n is increasingly effective in that goes off of one piece into your di matches of development is because you insecure already gone to the reforms of lock taken place. and one of the big, i'll see you if you've already gone through the phones are the shape and size and
12:15 pm
membership of the un security balance. and it said, and the other 2 groups on this in, in new york, one is the g for the google for which has india, japan, brazil, and germany. and then you have the united so consensus, which hasn't bought 12 countries. and also china, i just know is the concrete develop indonesia. now a, b, g full has made its position very d r. we do feed that for you. and so if you already gone through the forms, the permanent membership of the un security concert, it should be in hospice can be increased. and we have proposed of an additional 6 countries to this uh, group of a 2 or 3 opponent membership group all the way to go to a concert. 2 from the ship, a 6, a 2 from africa, and one each from latin america, caribbean. invest your opinions and other countries. now this is the big point of
12:16 pm
contention because uh we do fee that fee for that is fee. that unless you increase the bundle membership with a security confidence, there's going to be no change at going into the aging process. and the decision making stuck job um the other, the, the u. s. c. that united for consensus. they don't want any change in the permanent membership, but the security policy and which means it's the state of school as well as you can expect. the child has an observer in that group, obviously try, nobody does not want any more members among the booking, she was the security guard so. so this is what was being debated. this is what the other job and by such a random should have done boys was talking about. she was presenting the proposal of the g full at the stations on un security gone to the reform. and one of the big criticisms of the un security counselors, they just failed to reach a consensus and bashful they called really make it impacts. what do you think of the main conflicts between the, the main security council members when it comes to reaching any difficult, decisive agreements?
12:17 pm
as you see the, the main point about you is to go to the concert, but in the membership it has to be representative. it must be representative. without that. how can you didn't? does he get on anything? no kidding. 1945. maybe at that time, there was no eviction of watching for the un security guns a bowman meant, but it was just something that was the was selected or they would normally just by confed, considering the situation at the end of world war 2. in 1945, but today is down the line. we will see that there's a great need for making the appointment membership more representative, if it will take you to secret, and it will review all being dial after the content. and how do you think that is going to represent the, what did you, asian, how do you think that would it be effective at all? so that is why we see that the you integrate gauzy is, is putting into the media ineffective in terms of key decisions and dump the solution. finding approaches in terms of
12:18 pm
a bringing resolution on the one of the major up on the fixture nation is facing the world today. so i think that we have to introspect, we have to look very serious, get this situation. the g for this proposal is bidding to have a lot of flexibility on or right if you increase the security concept bowman membership. uh, should the new member doesn't have a we to immediately or should you reason why for them to have a visual all these issues can be discussed, but really king with those of boxes to be membership of the was community. um, just the president b 5 is not the answer actual to making that you and if effective do me to give you an effective plane effective role in blood situations. and i think that this is um, being a big role in making the un less and less important for the situation in the global on the global scenario today. and it is high time for an i the whole the
12:19 pm
indians allegation hasn't held back with it. and the criticism is also criticized the so called uniting full consensus consensus. the usc model, can you tell us more about it, what it is, and then how does it affect you an operations of us? the model is yes. as of the us see model, it really is a continuation of the see to school or the feeling is that you increase the non permanent members. i'm yeah, you know, you're going to have them and so on and giving what kinds of for me to avoid equally on from been members of that is something that happened maybe many decades ago. read me the not important in men, but like increased to the number of offers like 10 and the addition to the 5 permanent member, you know, just upholding to increase this non governmental membership group from 10 to maybe another $25.00 or $26.00 is all going to be effective at all, really bringing the general assembly into the uh huh. did you already gone so that's all you're doing because this is all him. but if you can just verify that on permanent member, somebody was in the get 50,
12:20 pm
then get 75. so that to going back more or less the situation of what happens in the general assembly. so i don't think that that can be effective at all. it because it would not function due to any v, a to the decision making structure within the un security constantly to the computing any b to making the un security concept a more representative body in terms of the funding membership delete it is a redo all the pump in members that is leading to all the situations of south embossed situations of great new york in billions of solving a was prices really quite speaking to today. thank you so much for your time. we've been talking to the former high commission of india to bundle dash venus. the great, thank you very much, have a lovely day. thank you. as the buddhist community and timeline is expressed as gratitude to the indian prominence and render emotive, ascending to holy this relics to bang,
12:21 pm
call the 2 holy items of no deposit. it will be tons of remedy and find in time out in the local ty indian community and find coke, celebrated the occasion awesome events with local dignitaries at spiritual leaders and business representatives. i believe prime minister load these actions convinced the confidence of india nationals across the world. the loan is part of the indian governments look east policy, which emphasizes religious and cultural banks. protecting civilians must be a priority. the us searches as well to delay any military offensive, and rafa without the time to and still the safety of palestinian civilians of the same time. washington continues its weapons flow to support as well. and we acknowledge from the very beginning that israel has a fundamental right to be able to defend itself. and, and so we're going to continue to support them as a, as they try to do that,
12:22 pm
ensure that they have what they need to defend their people. but we also recognize the importance of ensuring that people remain safe and gauze and a 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. or we've been clear about the need to prioritize the protection of civilians. so that, that should be a key part of any military, any plan, any, any type of operational planning to for, to account for and protect those civilians that are in the battle space. and again, we've yet to see such a plan, but we'll have an opportunity to engage the leadership here on that. so it always has, it does have a plan. no one saw it yet. but anyway, it seems that these roles and vision into rough on is the matter when not if, despite growing global disapproval, the biggest concern was and remains the estimated 1500000 palestinians currently
12:23 pm
sheltering in the area. more than half of gas as population, in many swap, the worlds have been born and against invading such a densely populated region. but if an incident on the whole, these rarely prime minister takes into consideration any opinion from abroad, that would be american america is sending conflicting messages from one hand. it says daunting fades. rafa and his monday phone conversation, for example, with newton yahoo bite and according to his administration, said the sold will be any state the us national security adviser also pointed. it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths and deep and humanitarian crisis in the in place. and yeah, it doesn't have been nor this quarter says a high ranking is rarely delegation is off to the us. so into present. and he's really plan off evacuation of gases before the operation and to call and the american leadership as well separately is really defense minister also travels to the us next week to meet his american counterpart and clearly russell will be on
12:24 pm
the agenda. but at the same time, we just heard the us secretary of defense regenerating washington, his commitment to our israel no matter what, even before they. so n, he's rarely plan or relocate in guys is 1500000 palestinians from ross or before the on slots. so why would israel care at all that decision has being made and there are no real obstacles to each of the model huck. we have an argument with the americans about the need to enter off on the go, not about the need to eliminate him off the need to enter rasa. we see no way to eliminate tomas militarily without destroying these remaining battalions. out of respect to the us president, we agreed on the way in which they could present their ideas to us, especially on the humanitarian side, which we have coal share in this desire to allow an orderly exit of the population and provide aid to the civilian population but i made it clear to the president in
12:25 pm
our conversation in the clearest way that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in rafa. and there is no way to do it other than the ground invasion within the hour. so confidence, in fact, america is divided over washington, the support of age row, severe figures in the, by the administration, manada us officials say israel is breaking the law in gaza with the help of america and using american weapons, making washington accomplice under pressure from congress president joe biden introduce a new policy last month requiring all countries that received american military supports to abide by us and international law provided it to continue his backend of israel. secretaries of state and decides must endorse these roles, assurances send before within the next 5 days. on tuesday, the u. s. and best of it to israel privately told the state department of israel fulfills as obligations and that's part furious reaction across the american
12:26 pm
political establishments with officials, calling the ambassadors assessment homeless, comical, unobserved, unclear, actually what decision will eventually be made. but in the meantime, to human rights organizations submitted to ad documents to the us government, claiming these rarely assurances are not credible. they accused israel violated international humanitarian law and urge the america to stop arm it is well and a joints memorandum base summarize this really violations such as striking hospitals and ambulances, or preventing humanitarian aid, including us, funded from crossing into the gas, the streets. we urge secretaries blinking and austin to consider the likely violations below when determining the credibility of these really governments assurances in response to n s. m. 20 ox fam, and human rights watch. believe a suspension of arms transfers to israel is necessary so long as there is an
12:27 pm
overriding risk that they are being used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and us law and policy. while president and joe biden and others supporting arms deliveries for israel, se washington sends weapons to help israel defend itself and protect it. citizens. in fact, american supports israel with all kinds of weapons and in much bigger amounts than it is needed for self defense. in 5 months of the war, washington improved and delivering more than $100.00 separate for and military sales to israel, including thousands of precision guided munitions and bonds. previous, the only 2 approved contracts were made. public like age more than a $100000000.00 wars. and it turned out the figure is much higher to versus $100.00 . and that shows just how extensively washington is involved in the 5 month long
12:28 pm
conflict and gaza. it has so much criticism about, but only in wards. the china has lounge with us for pledging to back the philippines of the maritime dispute between manila and bathing. that was off the us secretary of state and state bank and promised. on tuesday, the washington has an ein class commitments to defend the philippines may well butcher. now when the us is not a party to the south china sea issue and has no right to interfere. and the maritime issue was between china and the philippines. the military cooperation between the us and the philippines should not undermine china of sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the south china sea. nor should it be used to support the legal claims of the philippines. china will continue to take necessary steps to firmly safe guard its territorial sovereignty and, and every time, rights and interests and uphold peace and stability in the south china sea. on either one of the philippines, tensions have been on the rise recently over a territorial dispute in the south china sea. while relations between the dealer in
12:29 pm
washington have significantly improved under president such a non to mark us junior us access to bases in the philippines. have expanded on joint military exercises, including air and sea patrol. zip also increased secretary of state as me, blank and his reassign washington's iron clad defense commitments to the philippines. during the recent visit to manila license on another of these waterways are critical to the philippines with security to us economy. but they're also credit to the interest of the region, the united states and the world. and that's why we stand with the philippines and stand by our in flag defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty, particle for extends to arm attacks on the filipino armed forces, public vessels, aircraft, including those of his coast guard, anywhere in the south china sea. las it contributed calls on say, these things, these commitments contradict washington's official position on south china sea
