But bruces, it was a know the way to say is new to him as ross is present last week. We of course head will be bring you a full coverage of the event. But for more details, less cost. Now live to all the chorus. What live right across the river arena. Can you tell us more about this level . Does it please . Absolutely. Well, we all knew that a lot of everything would be visiting china after his not duration. We didnt know when, which we do know now, and we also have the agenda, of course, that will be seeking to deepen economic and military cooperation. Theyre expected apparently to income a few energy deals will be waiting for that. Theyll be a joint statement, of course, as well as bilateral documents, which well get into as soon as we have them. And then latimer uprooted will be attending and events and marking the 75th anniversary.

Then there will be the 4th russian chinese form on inter regional cooperation. Theyll be students and professors that so a jam packed agenda for shore. And of course are also expected to discuss, like i said, regional and international issues. And this comes on the back of the chinese leaders, a recent european trip where he got a lot of questions regarding his partnership and relation with russia for europe is very suspicious and has been suspicion over amazing. So global influence and missions. And also theres a growing problems within the view regarding trade with china and some experts are predicting predicts, and that this could turn into a full blown trade war. So the, to definitely have a lots to discuss about this. Of course of these meetings, weve seen them time and time again. Some people have done the math, and this will be the 4th face to a meeting between the 2 liters since the beginning of the special military operation. So since the 2022, just last year alone in march, the chinese presence was in moscow then in october the russian leader of its amazing. And this is some of the statements that came out from those fresh meetings. So yeah, hold on, the Geographic Reach of the belt and Road Initiative stretches across you razor and all the way to latin america. Over 150. 00 countries and 30 International Organizations have signed documents on cooperating within the belt and wrote initiative. The initiative is based on principles of bilateral discussions and Mutual Benefit like a settling you. We have repeatedly noted that russia and china, like most countries of the world, share and aspiration for equitable mutually beneficial cooperation in order to achieve sustainable long Term Economic progress. And i see it wont come out and wait and see the chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations, over the last 10 years. I dont a crucial and vital importance for todays world or a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. Your russian chinese relations are at the highest level ever and are exemplary. This is an example of how world powers who are permanent members of the un security council, and who bear special responsibility for maintaining stability and security on the planet should interact. So as you saw there, its their vision of a multi paula world which unites the 2 countries and of course, attracts others which is why the west will be waiting to see what will be set in those meetings. What they will decide and what impact that will have on the rest of the world. Yes. Or any sort of thing in the marina exciting as well, time and russia hand in hand again. And thanks again for the updates by the amount to all. So you contribute to call a job. All right, lets get his take on a call. So we can see the president by the end because it is getting over to tie this week and the next couple of days to speak to his counselor. But whats the significance, would you say behind this meeting . Well, this shows that deep in a rush, a tried a strategic partnership. Prior to this, you have us secretary of state tony blanket, traveling through china, warren china, about me and maintained is neuro ties with russia. Would necessitate us sanction on chinese banks. Well, you know, actions speak louder than words, you know, with the, the very fact that gordon is visiting beijing, that thats a response that china is given to washington. This is at the time when washington applied in the ministration is rolling out new sanctions and new terrace against the chinese import such waging economic war against china. Thats only for question. Russia and china, closer together called the sold set. Uh, both leaders will have a lot to talk about what kind of issues you think theyll tackle in this amazing well, you know, im sure to what to discuss about that. The operation ukraine, and there was a fully talk about the economic ties, the rush that china trade has now reached 280000000000. 00 a year is not a small sum and the 2 economies are comfortable. We come complimentary with russia being the main commodity producer and china, the commodity consumers. And this relationship will only continue to grow. And i expect there will be a much more area of Economic Cooperation to, especially when the wes are now placing sanction on both china and russia. Yeah, its interesting. Why would you say the pose in chose china to be, is 1st visit the authors . You know, great. I mean, is that a significant sort of a sign up to the why . So to the world, i slowly, i mean, it shows the board was put in place on the painting, the friendship size with china, you know, long as rushes, the strongest partner in the, in the present, multi polar world. And russia and china are the main countries behind the break. Scuse that will be up comedy, bricks meeting. And so this, this shows a united front, if you will, to the a tool countries and you, particularly United States. So through this call you and you mentioned it of it before about when blink. And was in china. He could, he made some sort of threat. So you feel like, you know, if he done this engage with the russia with that ill put sanctions on you with the inputs in. Now go into china. What kind of message does this send a to the west . Im be always like me to get a reaction from america and what would, what do you think theyll say . Well, china is essentially telling the United States you have no business dictating to us as well. We can maintain a relationship with, and indeed china, russia maintaining a perfectly normal tre relationship. Thats the, the best interest of both nations is none of washingtons business. I expect of biting to come out with more sanctions against chinese companies, whether its symbolic or have more buy behind it. That remains to be seen. But i think uh the device and can not of. Ready were to look a week the Election Year because right now the, the november election looks to be a tight race and bite and is doing whatever he can to try to. Main thing is chance of getting re elected call, you know, was probably the biggest market for russian oil and gas. And we have one deposit is in russia exceeding the donor holdings. I didnt say the eco relation between the 2 countries to sort of palm out us, are we looking at our then . I mean basically call what im trying to say is always looking out a move completely away from the us dollar. Is it more economically feasible for the 2 countries to try to narrow and currencies . Right, i mean, russia at this point has no choice because it got cut off on the switch system. But at the same time, the, the russian gas team site barrier on the yamaha gas field that previously would have donald to europe via the north stream, which was blowing up in a major terrorist attack. Now, with the construction of siberian power to that gas will be applied to china that will verger deepen the economic ties and dependency between russia and china and move russia. Russia now will have less dependency on the european market. Yeah. And these are very interesting, you know, we had a quote last week, excuse me, being was in europe. I, he travelled 1st, the frogs and then he went on to hungry is, uh, the way these cleaning aside was with china. Uh, what was to you know, do business uh and is not an aggravated uh stones, yet they always hear from the west who come to do what we say. Well, well cut you off what well do sections. What kind of move is she looking to do in the future . So, i mean, want to say, well, says n game here as well. The business of china as always be in business each shes in pain, is traveling to europe to promote business relationship with real keen countries. At this. It also shows to try to understand the geo politics thats being played here because the song agrees, the black horse inside you and serbia being next to hungry. This theres going to be a lot of chinese investments or into both countries that allow the Chinese Environment and chinese products to continue to come to europe. Even if im latrice, like friends in germany, see to seek to put tariff against chinese product, maybe at the behest of washington. Yeah, sort of interesting is data Interesting Times and they would have to leave of that call as uh, thanks again for your contributions. Thanks again. Think right another hi, ron king official for all the russians defies. What is the has been detained on corruption charges. Officer devin team is so it was arrested just a few weeks ago. But head of the ministry of Human Resources department usually close there. So what was detained in las go on, and bribery allegations the equivalent 1000000. 00 in cash was found at his home in a separate and case devotee defense. And as a similar, illinois has been charged with accepting an 11000000. 00 bribe us secretary of state and city bank and has arrived in teams for a previous st. Unannounced Diplomatic Mission to the high level visit came also a series of russia, muncie games in north east and ukraine, like his presence was intended to show continued us support for kids as dependents arriving. Se, weapon supplies. It was the 1st visit by a, by ministration official says Congress Last month approve is 61000000000. 00 a package for you cutting off the several months of heavy discussions now rushed into is all continuing to improve that time to go positions on the front lines over the past 2 days, the russian army has taken control of 9 villages and an equally as hot club region, as you can see on the map. And now is the latest gate, as will be answered by firing the top command of his troops in the province. Ross is defense, ministry has released some video footage of the equipment. So just explaining why they decided to surrender and then bring them up and see if we were in positions together with our conference in the morning, there was an assault camino where a few of us loved the new show and we took up a defensive position. Then called the evening, there was another salt, and i realize were a surround. It was gone far from older ride. And rene flew into our try and shut a truck. Oh, once we decided to lay down on ours, where did you guys come . We were fighting against the russians in a battle and made them. They werent thrown grenades at us. We took cover in a bunker, one of our comrades designated a renee to avoid being taken prisoner after that with the renters. And we raised our hands back not to be killed and came out. We werent treated well. They attended to all the wounded. I dont want to fight in the morning. Its very psychologically challenging because many of my friends have died overall in the crate and the armed forces there is currently less. Petra, it isnt being felt this because the war is difficult with significant loss as well. The Us State Department deputies, socialism filed himself in hot water, as he was grilled about us. Double stabbed is over the convicts in ukraine garza or how do you have better visibility in ukraine when theres the ability to send files to us is concerned with russia. But you dont have that same level of visibility when youre dealing with an ally, and these are your question is rooted in the premise that these are were talking about apples and apples here. And that is just simply not the case. People in the media enjoy making this comparison between israel and russia and the conflict in ukraine of the conflict and gaza. But were, were not even talking about apples and oranges. Were talking about apples and candy bars so we can hear, but she will be here, but we also seem to be talking about and im using allies. Were talking about 2 very distinct and different circumstances on the ground that are not even comparable radios of options of doing all this right . Isnt from us or to it is question was about to you visibility . How could you have our visibility into whether our visibility into whether a government has the ability to hold itself accountable is absolutely something that like is plays into. So its not, its not, its not you. So what about the governments of is when we get on depression, how could you have eyes in the grade to determine . Because i took an account of the i think what you mean by violating International Law that you have to prove. And this is the standard for intensified but how did you have the intern declined to end to end with the russian army to violate International Law when you concluded that, gosh, an army did war prize and you pray and you couldnt find that was your loss. So again, were talking about 2 very different and distinct circumstances once one was request. So was this an independent us investigation to decide whether or not Israel BrokenInternational Humanitarian law or was this a us investigation, aided by the through. These relays were not involved in the production of the United States as National Security memorandum thats going on to the question. God, god. This is where the sizes have set slide to the jerusalem headquarters of the United NationsAgency Policy and refugees. It was the 3rd austin attack in recent days. The latest incident occurred also the organizations west bank direct to confirm that the office was reopening in an exclusive interview with our to the main office. The apparently seniors or another was down. I see it another bilingual tag when the component was set on fire and they had stated that it was closed temporarily pending the restoration of proper security. We are the 1st journalist on the ground as the agency is about to announce that its reopened. This whole thing was a brush fire all the way down. It started around this bus stop area and we have it all on cctv this. Yeah, we saw the so that makes when something something, something an incendiary. I dont know what it was. And it came all the way. It went very fast and the fire came all the way down this way. So in this a very densely populated residential area, apartment buildings everywhere, and then we had a 2nd fire 2 hours later. And the other end of the compound or small fire was contained quickly. But it was very close to the petrol tank because we have a fuel station. Yeah. So it petrol and diesel tank there. And that that would have been a nightmare because it would be a huge explosion, right . Thousands of leaders of fuel myself as the director, i grabbed the fire extinguisher from my office and ran down to the fire and i was putting out the fire myself. And you know, its crazy in retrospect, but i was holding the, for the fire extinguisher at the base of one of the big flames and shielding myself is a smoke, was tremendous because this is like a wildfire. So heavy smoke couldnt see. And while im spring i was being hit by stones. Oh wow. I was being stolen by the, by the local community which is complete madness. You know . But the fans is so high, so it is high. But these are sounds that went through, you know, smaller stones and then a lot of people are up in the balconies here. And this residential block watching what was going on, you know, clamping down was on the phone, right . Is a service organization, whatever they were yelling. And so i think they were watching it as if it was like a you know, football match or something the office has been temporarily closed. I was, it was sad that it will remain closed until securities restored, correct . Yeah, now we are as far as i understand the 1st journalist on the ground when you are about to announce that it reopened so secure which is restored now you feel safe. So thursday night this all happened thursday night last week. Yep. We close the office that evening and friday we we work on monday to friday schedule in the duracell office. And this is the west Bank Field Office supporting the west bank and East Jerusalem. Friday we were closed. We did have an emergency meeting of our donors and partners, set a to explain exactly what happens and to also communicate the severity of this. This isnt our send attack on a un installation in a city, in a very busy city. And so we were the, i think they understood and were really grateful for the, the, the statements made by all of our different member states, understanding the severity and we closed in order to assess a number of things. We had to assess all the, any of the damage. We had to check the old, the hoses, the water hoses, fire hoses, some of them had a defective nozzles. We fix that. We had to recharge and replace fire extinguishers that we had to use during the fire. So we had to do a number of things like that. We increased our security around the compound. We double checked, all of the cameras are still working because sometimes the smoke can affect the cameras. So all of that was was done. We made our official complaint and report to the police or doing the investigation. We had a meeting today with the police, as i said, no way we did what we feel we could in order to reopen the office today, which we did. That sounds to me like you are expecting more tags and like the threat is still there, the injury still there, but you are just better prepared. They were better prepared. Yeah. And i really hope that it is calm down. Um, you know, i, i really think that police understood the severity of this, youre in the middle of the Orthodox Community here, and you said youve been always the neighbor absolutely much. Yeah. So what happened when did change . Its really strange actually because weve never had any issues at all of any kind with the community thats here. Nothing. They have their, their lives. Then we go about our business. This is an office. You know, this is not a busy bustling place. People come in on buses and cars, they do their job and then they go home at the end of the day. So its actually quite quiet as a, as a, as an office is quite large. But its, you know, with different offices and warehouses and things like that disturbing. Yeah. Yeah, but its not a disturbing, noisy place. So nothing at all. But, but i think lately theres been a lot of intense rhetoric in the media statements made by political figures. A lot of attacks on own right as an organization that we are somehow we are home us or we are, you know, part of the problem and part of the conflict when were not, were a mandated you an agency to provide services to the palestinians until there is a just solution to the conflict. So were a political, you know, in a way caught up in this very political situation. And that i think is what happens is that the community often children and others in the, in the neighborhood has now been, i dont know. Ready instrumental lives, theres something has now been pulled into this conflict and theyre seeing all of these demonstrations and theyre somehow getting involved in a way which is very violent. The anger within israel towards another was started building of their earlier this year. Israel claimed that over a dozen employees of the un, budging took part in the have mass let attack back in october, which resulted in hundreds of civilians and military mode and scores kidnapped under what has repeatedly denied all the negations, but is really wrong to an activists have started stage in multiple protests in front of the agencies offices ever since. So we think the taxpayers are coming from this community because when we did see a lot. Yeah, because we took kids on bicycles riding around others that came the word in front of the um the compound is kind of a mix of people. Some that were seemed to be more local and others that were coming in from, from settlements. Um, you know, we had even one uh, one adult that was in that kind of military uniform. Didnt look very official, but in kind of Army Fatigues with a rifle. So when you start adding angry people, rocks sticks, guns, it, its very dangerous. And so were hopeful that all of this remains. Tom, youre responsible for on the activity and look at, look at the kids. Yeah, yep. Yep. Those some kids are just going by. Yeah. Yeah. But theres always what they were now. I didnt know that theres always a lot of a lot of elders showing here, and thats how they say hello the throwing stones. Yeah. But their kids that are probably bored and somehow feel that they need to be involved in some kind of i dont know what rebellion that there is a fence here and its supposed to protect us. But they, they take usually small stones that go through easily. But well get this thats a big one and that would really hurt you if it is. Oh my god is over the fence. Yeah, some of them i think should be play. So i was just now waiting for the change from there by the kids. Thats what they need. Why youre doing this here. He said, we dont want to hear. Do you think its kind of feeler of these really forces . I mean, since security is supposed to be provided by israel, and do you see it as a favor from this side . Well, i think i can do better. And, and this is what came up in our conversation today. Is that a few weeks ago or months ago, there were protests that were very organized. The police came, they set up a metal barrier that kept everyone away from the gate. Like on the other side of the street, there were many protests. There were people with mega phones and making statements and battle watches over the very much an organized kind of demonstration, but far away from the gates. We had perfect access to both of our entrance points that somehow deteriorated. And so last tuesday, when we had this very aggressive demonstration, there were police there, but they were not managing the crowd. Then we said, we told them we said this is not, its not hard to do. You know, i think normally if the police are there and they keep people back, you keep them away from the gate because we need access to these gates in case theres any emergency ambulance, a fire, anything that we experienced there. So they just to have to. Yeah, i think that they, they need to do probably a, a more structured job like they had done in the past. It could be dangerous, you know, having people throwing rocks such it was a dangerous thing. So were hoping that Community Also can help calm things down. The police were also discussing this today that maybe they need to work with a rabbi. So also make it clear that you know, this is dangerous. Yes. And the most, this is dangerous behavior. As we were leaving the while headquarters, the crowd of youngsters armed with stone, started growing bigger and bigger. The office might be reopened, but this rent is still there. And there is no snow, t is the rest of them. Now, west politicians are trying to blame moscow for their own refusal to import rushing energies, advise us of leading to british Prime Minister receipts it and it goes on. See donald pull the explains once again the west is shooting itself in the foot. And once again, it scape going russia with the u. K, as Prime Minister pointing the finger at moscow for all of his energy, was fusions. Recklessness has taken us closer to a Dangerous Nuclear escalation, than at any point since the cuban missile crisis. Russia has poisoned people with chemical weapons and when food didnt cut off the gas applies, they had a devastating impact to peoples lives and threatened out Energy Security and about so next main line that moscow allegedly stop supplying energy resources. So the remaining operational thread pipeline be of the nord stream to gas Pipeline System is still operational. But its closed on the west side. The heads of European Countries in particular, sholtes openly admit that they can hardly imagine the operation of the preserved gas pipeline. Why . Because they forbid it in washington, nato says it was vladimir potent who single handedly had gas problem. Close the valves on gas exports to the west for a long time when it comes to politics. We thought that if you have a mutual economic relationship between nations, we will never have more again. Well, that has been proven roll because we thought we had a contract with gospel. We thought we bought our oil and gas from a company. But this wasnt true. When put and set the gus from close the valve, they did it. Its not in that contract. Only someone with the memory span of a gold fish could forget that it was the west own anti russian policies that forced russia to shut off the gas back in 2022 gas problem pleated with siemens to restore damage turbines to working order along the north stream one pipeline, but the western sanctions made sure that was a no go. Instead of lifting them. Europe piled on more band, russian colon ports and put similar measures on seaborne crude oil. More recently, brussels even voted to allow for the banding of russian, alan gee. And with all those constraints on the west own energy supply, the leaders of the so called free world had been nothing but ecstatic today to get his ended oh, imports of rush and liquefied natural gas were cutting, put an offer from funding his illegal war and support and countries around the world to reduce their own dependency, we must cut rushes, revenues, which fortune use us to finance is atrocious. War and ukraine. And now a work of the last month really pays off. Because at the beginning of the war, if you look at the importance of gas, 40 percent of it was russian gas since a long time. Today were down to 9 percent on the shape of it, which is what i said, i know a little yes. The rest of the data obtained significant revenues in 2022 because the price of sky rocketed and were still defining the russian gas and oil. There is no longer the case to run this. One of our major successes has been to reduce our considerable dependence on Russian Energy to almost 0 russian gas and oil revenues are down 46 percent on last january, not in prison. I know i know that. Let me russian gas will have cost for you or but its not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint. Is going to put us on a much stronger strategic footage. The west justifies all these restrictions as part of the campaign to restrict funding for us is military operation. At the same time though, the u. K just struck a multi 1000000000 pound deal with the french fuel giant total energies. Our company, the trades in russian gas. Total energy is one of the largest buyers of russian gas globally. Theyve played a key role in bring food and sell in g, a coastal lifeline for russians. More time economy to market for government focused on Energy Security and supporting ukraine. Buying gas from total should be a non starter. On top of
