10:00 pm
which, especially the deducted will be inevitable, must go warns of repercussions as the e you most over using almost all of the interest russian assets of the crew to the you. things to keep putting kids in the ukraine. conflicts, regional counseling ukraine on is an in, from this, not to veterans coming us to west attempts to why was the scandalous image of what's the latest a pull according to the same yellow stuff hung good in the canadian parliament last year. tons conflicting statements out of washington as the us safety protection of tell us the new civilians, most of the priority continues to support the israel's ongoing warranty. gossen the,
10:01 pm
it's just on 5 am here in moscow watching all the international moneys pizza scott's here with all the very latest worship as well. and that you would be shooting yourself in the thoughts if it uses a frozen russian us as deformed a ukraine's war if it's the uniform policy chief use a brown is looking to spend 90 percent of the revenue ends on those funds on age and munitions for kids must go says the move will cost decades of legal battles to show this is a novice 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, the countries that will decide this, they will become the objects of prosecution for many decades. yeah, well it's basically the easy all resorting to assess really is thinking to new lows
10:02 pm
. so found its front of 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, is stalling, 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 uh, from the war. and you can now, let's talk a little bit about these as 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 general, clear in belgium, and they have made done their math. and apparently, all this money, this prophet 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 to buy
10:03 pm
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 extend to the country to a proposal commercial decision, a proposal for commercial decision to allocate the bulk of these revenue to the, to be in union financial capacity. and this proposal is about to locate 90 percent of these revenue to be and b 's facility on the top or the 5 billions, not them substitution off. but adding to these 5000000000 revenues generated by these frozen assets. you know that to increase the military support to ukraine, so it's official, there he is there and he propose that we are getting reports right now that apparently the european commission has approve that plan even though there were supposed to discuss this and vote on this at the e u leaders summit taking place on thursday and friday, but we are now getting reports of the european commission has approve that most of
10:04 pm
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 build new crane for reconstruction, forces mandatory, an aide. and some of the member states were agreeing with this. they were the one along with that. but they didn't like the idea of it being used in any militarily, sort of ways. and it was, or sort of underlying that european commission, impressive who have this really is ideal. hey, listen, only use this for him, mandatory and purposes. let's actually use it where we need it most to buy those weapons that you credit 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 so live on the line. keep simon recently. there is a growing discontent against fonder. lion for improvising said in a you, diplomat, diplomat said, fonder lions approach is particularly disadvantageous for smaller members. states
10:05 pm
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 nice facility, which is a joke in itself to have the word piece in there and this fond runs all the budget, so it 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 happens to disagree with the west. they can always seize your assets, use the profit he's in the european central bank before set that season. ross and assets will undermine confidence in the your current c,
10:06 pm
n e u markets. but apparently now joseph, where 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 sure of the global kind of so you can actually go further and use ease finance or power to actively influence international developments. but the spyware must be used wisely. because when i think it currents may stimulate dimensions of alternatives, and unless i forget that russian courts can always with holly 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 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,
10:07 pm
or whether this will be discussed and put up to vote at the summit on thursday and friday. let's discuss this now with alex reports, the blogger and foot, scroll on a list. alex, thanks very much for joining us. and festival will sort of president do you think will be set if you approve this legislation? and how likely do you think it is a little past, as well, from my understanding from listening to the recent sound clip that they have going forward with it? you know, this is an unprecedented violation of international law. i mean, when you're broke bankrupt and desperate like the european union, basically you steal, and that is what we're seeing with this current situation. what's what expense and you've already touched upon this. do you think that trust in international financial markets on the role as you said, opens nestle, but it will be on the mind by this. and do you see a situation with, with some countries might begin with drawing the funds and be paid chasing them for fear that their process could be ceased to?
10:08 pm
well, let's look at this funds it for example, here we have 300000000000 that is see user i would say stolen. and this is not just a fund that is just sitting out there in the, you know, the european union bank accounts. now these are individuals that make up that number. there are companies that are hotel owners, they're bill owners, you name it individual owners. if you are a person, you know, or a citizen of russia or anyone for that matter. and you have a bank account in the united states or do your opinion well, today there is a new president set for that and that means they will take your money based on your nationality. this is very dangerous. they're going forward with it. uh, we're in uncharted territories right now. oh, no, it was, it can. you mentioned this, the amount is 3000000000 euros and you were to use it, but i said it's not nothing but it's, it's still sort of thing. do you think you don't have a ton zable impacts on ukraine's ability to defend itself? it's well, once again, your opinion has your mark that money. they think it's,
10:09 pm
there's really they do add even the interest money that is made on that cash is not there's to be dealing with as well. they're gonna have to pay it back. now i think they should have a contingency funding for legal, their legal contingency fund. because they're going to need it. and let's, let's take a step forward here. you mentioned that the other countries or other individuals may have a look at what the european union is doing. and it'd be somewhat insecure about maybe investing in these countries. well, china is watching this very closely and we have to understand that china, right, i guess if you look at it has a relationship with the belts and road initiative with a 153 companies and countries. pardon me around the world, which at a later time i think is going to welcome what we have a digital currency here in china called the d. c n y. watch that space a certain aspects of the thoughts of the alex and play they won't be taking this
10:10 pm
line down. these already drawn up a list of western assets that it will seize in response. i mean, if you're not shooting yourself in the full shoulder, if it doesn't prove this legislation, it knows it's going to lose somebody's interest in vasa in which then you know, this is the old play book that the european union does. seize. first ask questions later. they're continuing to do this. americans did it in switzerland, did 2008 to 2014, when they went in there and bullied to switzerland, to give up its bank secrecy after hundreds of years of uh, you know, building a business on that. uh your opinion, they're going to do the same. they don't care and the consequences are going to be absolutely catastrophic. and remember around the corner here is china waiting for them to make mistakes and finality just dislike to folder. so you had to do so you situated right with is paying the assets, could be c's to rebuild the gaza. that is definitely
10:11 pm
a curve ball and that's one that i didn't even think of so really to you. but yes, uh that's exactly it's, i mean, tips for tats, i mean, if it's going to go that way then it should go there way. boy, that would really irritate the americans. i certainly would, i like football, it's a blog, and let's go on the list. thanks very much for your insights today. hey, on. ok. thank you. i la beach in ukraine has decided to honor the not c veteran. yes. the phone cut with metal a scheduler upset if you remember last year when the canadian prime minister applauded on to in paul events. and here's how the tribute was just finding you. a yellow slab home alicia division vet to and is to be decorated for a significant personal contribution to providing assistance to ukrainian armed forces in charitable and public activities. so it's not exactly clear what the contribution zeros lab hung come made to the armed forces of ukraine beyond. of
10:12 pm
course this service and hitler's watson s ask alicia division of ukrainian nazis who spent world war 2, killing jews and our russian allies fighting against hitler along with us in the west at the time. he's 99 years old now and yeah, you freight is getting short on troops, but i still don't think they're calling up the 99 year old x that's from canada yet to serve as cannon fodder. so about the only quote public activity that home god is actually known for these days is sitting in canadian parliament, well visiting ukrainian prime minister of libraries, whiskey and all of kansas elected representatives. cheered as to how speaker introduced him as a guide we fought russians. totally ignoring the historical contacts that russians back then were allies of the west against hitler. we have here in the chamber today ukrainian canadians, ukrainian canadian world veteran from the 2nd world war from fort ukrainian independence against the russians.
10:13 pm
the justice you pray and regional council is doing russian propaganda now ripping off this band aid on to those political career and putting hunk of back into the spotlight with an award and the name of arrows live stetsco, whose name as an added bonus, figures and some online, the holocaust studies courses as someone known for getting the nazis who seal of approval for their extermination methods used on jews. former house speaker spoke goes and explained that all. so hugo was his constituent and lived in his district . and he said last year that he had invited honk god to parliament, what actually happened road that clarified was that the canadian ukrainian congress lobby put forward honk his name, and the parliamentary protocol office had the whole list. that is by true those
10:14 pm
office with a fine tooth comb. before that invitation was sent out. not surprising that the russian embassy had a bit of fun with that fact. he was prime minister justin to don't mean bought to desktops criminal to the parliament last year. as recommended by the current in canada and community the 5 months later, still in that silent, don't you of whom cause nancy post. no condemnation equals justification. teacher though, characterized as new fiasco, which was revealed alongside another new little bit of information that hunker had also been invited to a private end by only swap a in toronto with trios lewinski and about a 1000 other of their closest friends. now the email, the invite for that came from to those office and that was linked to the canadian press also back in february. at which point the official opposition wants to know. why true though, didn't come clean about all of this when he had a chance. months ago. now we know that he personally invited that same individual and he said that the former speaker had to resign or were doing the exact same
10:15 pm
thing. so will he hold himself to the very same standard method he's not fit for off the leader of the off position is choosing to meet against the ukrainian canadian congress. straight to this conservative party, no longer stands with ukraine, used to shoot to not stand with ukraine, not stand with ukrainians. not would you frame and knew all team zalinski is talking about how they're ready to join you like right now, because the clean up in ukraine is going faster than expected. maybe that has something to do with crude inciting, the notification as one of the 2 goals of rushes, military operation. in any case, it looks like they may have missed a spot over there at the turn up all region. a lot of drama for a country that's already really high maintenance and cost to
10:16 pm
a lot of my use the weston's. well to kind of hide drama that usually reads to a break up long before marriage. we spoke to finish jen list based in don't boss janice put in and he says the west side is on the mazda is telling the waste of course the issue here on the firing line because we don't here to go on donation. we hear silence official support for nazi's goals, do the years or full of minorities and adults can be victims of a possible ethnic nationalism. and that's why great is playing with fire may be even kind of a black man in the western leaders that even if you don't continue to support those, we will raise the these issues. and that we'll go. so how in the western countries where the integrated, the immigration population will react strongly,
10:17 pm
they are losing their home wrong. use these support for the gradient. nazis we'll come, why is it known in the western western countries, adding the red population protecting civilians must be a priority if that's what washington said in urging israel to delay any military offensive. and the city of rough us to ensure the safety of palestinians. but at the same time for us as continuing the flow of weapons to its own, 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 and 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 the 2 things aren't mutually exclusive or we've been clear about the need to prioritize the protection of civilians. so that,
10:18 pm
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's 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 of when not if, despite growing global disapproval, the biggest concern was and remains the estimated 1500000 palestinians currently sheltering in the area. more than half of gas as population, in many swap, the worlds have been warning against invading such a densely populated region. but isn't it on the whole, these really prime minister takes into consideration any opinion from abroad. that would be american america is sending conflicting messages from one hand. it says
10:19 pm
don't invade rafa. and his monday phone conversation, for example, with newton yahoo bite. and according to his administration, said, the assault would be any state, the us national security advisor olsa points and it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths and deep and humanitarian crisis in the in place. and yeah, who doesn't ignore this criticism? a high renting is rarely delegation is off to the us so presents, and he's really plan off evacuation of gases before the operation and to call the american leadership as well separately is really defense minister also travels to be us next week to meet his american counterpart and clearly, russell will be on the agenda, but at the same time, we just heard the us secretary of defense reiterating washington, his commitment to our israel, no matter what, even before they. so n, he's rarely plan or relocation guys is 1500000 palestinians from ross or before the
10:20 pm
on slots. so why would israel care at all the decision has been made and there are no real obstacles to each of the model. we have an argument with the americans about the need to enter off on the north about the need to eliminate him off the need to enter rafa. we see no way to eliminate how mos militarily, without destroying these remaining battalions out of respect for 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 our conversation, in the clearest way that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in rough up. and there is no way to do it. other than the ground invasion. latonia who is so confident infect america is divided over washington. the support of h ro, city or figure is in the by the administration. and all of us officials say israel
10:21 pm
is breaking the law in gaza with the help of america and using american weapons, making washington accomplice on the pressure from congress. president joe biden introduce a new policy last month requiring all countries that receive american military supports to abide by us and international law provided to continue his back in a rail. secretaries of state and decides must endorse these roles, assurances, sons, before within the next 5 days. on tuesday, the u. s. and best of it to israel privately told the state department that is ro fulfills as obligations and that's part furious reaction across the american political establishment with officials calling the ambassadors assessment homeless, comical, unobserved, unclear, actually what decision will eventually be made. but in the meantime, 2 human rights organizations submitted a document to the us government's claiming these rarely assurances are not credible
10:22 pm
. they accused israel of violated international humanitarian law and urge the america to stop arman as well. and it joins memorandum base summarized as rarely violations, such as striking hospitals and ambulances, or preventing humanitarian aid, including us, funded. from crossing into the gather street, 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 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 joe biden and others supporting arms deliveries for israel, se washington sends weapons to help israel defend itself and protect its citizens.
10:23 pm
in fact, americans suppose israel with all kinds of weapons and in much bigger miles 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. previously, only 2 approved contracts were made. pub likes h more than a $100000000.00 worth. 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 conflict in gaza. it has so much criticism about, but only in wards. in other news, china has slammed the us full pledging 2 bucks, the philippines and the markets. i'm disputes between manila and beijing. they are suggest dates on to the banking promised on tuesday that washington had an eye in
10:24 pm
the clouds commitment to defend the nation. that it once colonized, this was china's response may well push and not having the us is not a party to the south china sea issue and has no right to interfere in the maritime issues between china and the philippines. the military cooperation between the us and the philippines should not undermine china of sovereignty and maritime rights and interest 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 ends and every time, rights and interests and uphold peace and stability in the south. china sea attention is between china in the philippines heightens recently over territorial disputes in the south china sea. as well, relations between miller on washington have significantly improved under president fidget on macos your success to bases in the southeast. asian country have expanded and joined village exercises, including air and sea patrols have also increased as well blinking up to say during a recent visit. some of these waterways are critical to the philippines with
10:25 pm
security to us economy, but they're also credit to the interest of the region of the united states and the world. it's why we stand with the philippines and stand by our are in flat defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty article 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. a lot to contribute to tell us all believes as such, commitments come to dates, washington's official position on south china sea territory. i am quoting the congressional research service, which is a us government service which provide the briefing to the member of congress to according to the china prime or south china sea dispute, which it was updating august 21st 20. 23 is the united states makes no territory on the plane in south china sea and takes note is ition of the sovereignty over many
10:26 pm
of the jo. she'll graphic features in the south china sea. so this is very clear. um me, us has no business in in south trying to see yet what tony blinking is going. he is contradicting the official us position by saying that us philippines mutual defense treaty would cover the south china sea, which was not the case. i'm up to this point again, yours is playing this game where it's a predicted so just like, oh usa has a one china policy and then turn around and sell weapons to tie one history on us spaces in, in the philippine scheme to clark air base. and so big air baseball, crime, prostitution, and this is, was the reason why this little piano people wanted to throw out the american scene in 1990 using the 1st place. and now of us is call me back. i mean,
10:27 pm
a nice understandable sound of filipino citizens, not happy about a no brain. washington form associates of joe biden, son, hon. so have testifies that the president was involved in the business dealings negations were made during the house impeachment inquiry, the latest face of an impeachment inquiry being taken against by them. c. a. mr. bob zelinski, who's the big guy? are you sure about that? because when doing the job i or you're sure i'm a 1000 percent sure is joe biden line when he says he did not interact with hunter by jen bye. and their business partners are for an interest. yes or no? yes, mr. gladys yes or the lights has tested many bikes, of republican party allegations, the jo biden's family used his political influence for financial gain. the claims points to this funding. while he's so busy us senate to let's as vice president democrats subject to the accusations linking them to russia's a legit efforts to influence us domestic affairs on the bottom,
10:28 pm
refused to attend the hearing after denying the allegations against his father. house of the conservative daily podcast, jo oldman explains why he doesn't believe we're dividing, will be held responsible tens of millions of dollars. think the danger of this is that a lot of bad things have happened to americans and people around the world over the last few years. and besides not being a legitimate president, we are faced with the idea that there's a corruption happening at the, at the highest levels of our government. and no one's done anything about it. so what, why hasn't, i guess i'm more concerned with why hasn't someone had this here in 2 years ago? well, i think the american people are waking up to the reality that ukraine and cube has been a hot bed for corruption around in that. and then epicenter not just for us or western influences, but people around the world. i believe it's a apparatus in the united states is brought into the point that until the american people decide to stand up and truly have a voice and stand together regardless of political party. i don't believe that
10:29 pm
biden, or anyone else will be held responsible because it's, it's one big political class. it doesn't matter if you're a republican or democrat, they are all looking out for each other. they're certainly not looking after the american people or anyone around the world plus how the world is looking as soon as they gets under way. do that over to our websites for all the latest on scots. i'll be back in the the, the,
