R t international. I am your host donald quarter. Welcome to the program. We start this new is our with breaking news from the russian capital where president Vladimir Putin has issued a decree on using us property in russia as compensation for washington seizure of frozen russian assets. This is how the decree reads the court shall send a request to the Government Commission for control over Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation. Hearing, often referred to as the commission for list of property of the United States of america and all foreign persons related to the United States of america, which may be used for the purpose of compensation of damages. Of course, the russian president issued this decree to use the wes, uh property in russia, and now this comes after the u. S. Senate passed the legislation essentially saying that they have the right to seize the russian assets in the United States. Now lets remember that the us and its allies hold have seized some around 300000000000. 00 across an asset that theyve planned to send to kids. But to take you through this decree and, and not so its about the compensation for damage that was caused through russia and connection to the actions that was take that were taken by the United States. Here the, the, it applies in the event of and just to find the probation of property of a russian rights folder, essentially would give the right to the russian citizen to go to court and establish the fact the fund just to find the probation of his own property and also an assessment of damage know essentially wouldnt, once the Court Accepts the application, you would send the request to the Governmental Commission for control for an investments in the Russian Federation, which will in return send a list of properties that are owned by the United States or us citizens in russia, and then based on that, the court will decide what to, what the response would be. Now essentially the commission will organize and if occasion of either properties or uh, security is dire, owned by the us or a us citizen in russia. I think its a, can you tell us a little bit more about the precedents for this type of action thats been taken by the russian government of, over a month ago at jp morgan, a warrant that is, s, as in rochelle will be seized. Now this comes as a Russian Court already had order to save the accounts of jp morgan, and because after russia, russia is the best theyd be bank suits. Are we getting as far as that were blocked abroad . Now, mind you that some 439000000. 00 from jp morgan as that they froze in us accounts after the special military operation operation. Now these millions of dollars belong to but the buying ballistic listen to what jp morgan had to say. It is declared a judged and decreed. The jp morgan has made the necessary showing for a preliminary injunction of irreparable harm. What weve generally focused on american assets, but its true, right, that the European Union has also seized or fro frozen the russian assets. Can you tell us a little bit about that . Yeah, just recently the eu has essentially sealed the deal to use profit from the frozen russian assets to help provide military support for ukraine. The loan is holding over 200000000. 00 euros of russian assets, and the headquarters is now essentially saying that 90 percent of the money will go to a special of fund, new fund and known as the european piece facility. And then many count where many countries get reimbursed the reimbursed for the military equipment that theyve sent to kids. And then 10 percent, they say will go to the you budget. Now the head of the check republics for administrator says that he made it clear that his country will transferred to point 8000000 euros received from frozen assets to you, playing with sick lists. And we have approved in the you using revenues from russias central banks, frozen assets, to help you crane up to 3000000000 euros. Only this year, 90 percent goes for ukraines military. Russia must pay for its for damages. Now knowing all of this is really no surprise that a russia would react the way. Did that mean . I think its trying to bring some sort of balance almost to the situation. Well scales rolled out the red carpet for the king of bob wright who was held talks and the russian capital with president the 2 countries are looking to strength and ties and counter western dominance in the world in the bathroom. And so i have a friend send you old, a lot of an appreciation for russias role incorporation on arab masses. That was for the agreement that we would convene and means National Peace conference. Russia is the country to offer support for this conference because russia plays a vital role. Russia is one of the most influential countries in the world. Another topic is the situation in gauze that which is painful for us. We want to stop this war to save that our lives, hundreds of thousands of people have had to leave that homes. This region is just 40 kilometers long and 12 kilometers wide women and children are being attacked. I emphasize that were talking about it as and people in the position of the arab league during his stomach was unanimous for the meeting started with the king of a crane saying that this meeting vladimir fruits and them being here today is one of the happiest moments in his life, which really set thats home, we know that this is a very close and friendly relationship. Something which was reiterated once again, the ones who maintain then the ones to build on their relationship, which is why theyre discussing cooperation in various fields, freight, the economy, humanitarian areas, as well. Theyll be a Cultural Exchange. So days of box spring in russia, and in 2025 well see a Cultural Exchange with the russian seasons taking place over in the rain. Also there of course, naturally touched upon regional and International Issues where they see i to i something which of course we knew from the get go with police to express great pride in the high position that the Russian Federation occupies on the International Stage under the leadership of president Vladimir Putin playing a constructive role in maintaining interNational Peace and security, as well as helping the process of development and prosperity in various countries. We also do justice to be outstanding progress. Russia is achieved at the economic level. These are of course, complementary will never hear from the west when it comes to Vladimir Putin or when it comes to russia. Latimer preaching was also interested. See here what was the sites and agreed upon at the end of the 33rd summit of the arab league of nations, which was hosted in box spring last week. We heard already from the king of that we had the World Leaders send in their regard to Vladimir Putin who is really moving forward on his a multi polar pass and bring it in and unites in the Different Countries and moving forward and making sure that they are Strong Enough on their own and on the basis of course, of mutual respect, the next year, we will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. Over the years, much has been done in building relations between all states. We have very good contacts throughout Foreign Ministry and oppositions a close on many issues on the International Agenda as for the level of trade relations. Unfortunately, this is still symbolic, but the trends are good. As for investment cooperation, the situation is more favorable about 30 large projects of being implemented with the total volume of the package being about 500000000. 00. Well, lets not forget to apply to move fluids and it was recently in china, and this is where the king of buffering is heading to next sports. Itll also have a, discuss some regional and International Issues as well as corporation. And this is very interesting because of course it comes at a time when we see an increasing divide between the weiss and the global south. Were seeing how the west is trying to appeal to countries and trying to, in some cases force them um, push them towards picking sides their sides. Of course, when it comes to various conflicts around the world, in particular, the conflict in ukraine. Weve heard, for example, from the u. K. Defense secretary, just recently. So im in china now for supposedly either already provide him or planning to provide lisa a to to russia. And theyre saying that china is fueling the firewall as china has come back to the Foreign Ministry has. Im that you cage saying that this is baseless slander and it is actually them who are blocking efforts to achieve peace. It must be pointed out that it is the british side, not china, that is adding fuel to the fire on the ukrainian issue. It was precisely because of the obstruction of the british and other parties that the conflict has been delayed to this day. Whats interesting is that in 2022, the king of bach, right, and actually expressed his willingness to meet the negotiations peace negotiations between t evan, moscow of course. But as we know those piece fox failed at the request of the was so well moving forward. Lots of documents have been signed and were expecting to see the fruition of this as were moving forward. And this multi polo world, despite making a 25 hour dash to the other side of the earth, the french president of manuel micron did not get the warmest of welcomes as he arrived in New Caledonia in the wake of the worst violence to rock the overseas territory in decades. I got my toilet foundation on his last. He doesnt know what to do. Everyone there is looking at france. Everyone. See you the shenanigans in france now that he is coming here. We dont meet him here since then has been sending out full edition. So friends, we dont need to go to friends. The discussions are here because the future of the country is here and kind of get, but i dont know. We dont want to see him here, just started this, the things on fire started to raise passions to the point of setting things on fire. It wasnt the young people who started before. It wasnt us was set. They started to find cdw. In any case, its already good, the bad comment, but after that we cant, we dont know if hell arrive to restore. Com, but in any case, hes already calm and gone, and things are still the same. There is no real calm, no real peace, no way allow me to send the army here. But we didnt ask the army to come here. We are fighting for our contract and fire children. Ill say it again. This is for our children later on. The armies here, but i dont know what the army is doing here. We dont need them here. We can protect ourselves. We can manage all countries here. Young people scream because it is difficult for them every day they see whats happening, a step away from them in what poverty they live. Unlike the people next door. I think its more of a Socio Economic crisis. Its moving to struggle. They really resulted to fighting, increasing the number of the electorate, but there was a Socio Economic crisis behind it. Meanwhile, the french government had floated the idea to downgrade Internet Access on the island territory. However, that proposal was shot down a net. They did sort of slow, even though we raised the issue in the sending for ports on the rights. For some reasons, the decision was not made to reduce the Internet Access from 5 g to g for social networks, or did you want to get more on this story . Lets cross live now to our, to contribute or rachel marston. Rachel, once the riots are updated in New Caledonia, the french government seems to have given freedom of information a back seat. They band tick tock. They want to limit the amount of Internet Access people have. What do you think we can expect the next look, were finding out now directly from the french into your ministers, yet ive done them. I know, speaking of Parliamentary Commission on the unrest in frances overseas territory, New Caledonia, that the government actually considered working hand in hand with a publicly owned Internet Provider over there to cut off for g and 5, g internet, reducing it to 2 g, which basically just allows people to send Text Messages at most, but doesnt allow for them to use apps or social media or for other people in new houses already ads even pay for their burger and fries with a banking card because that requires a higher speed network. Guess its not technically cutting off the internet if people can still use to g and send texts like the cops in town to your car and saying that you can always just take the bus work or hey, no, and stopping you from going and getting a horse but ultimately the government just decided instead to band tick tock and they forgot about reducing the speed based on what existential proof of the apps responsibility for whats going on in New Caledonia. None really. Its just a theory. So it gives him the, took everything on the question of tick tock, which had been widely used. It was due to be exceptional circumstances that the Prime Minister allowed this decision to be taken in conjunction with the government of New Caledonia and killed or so during the riots in france back in june of last year, over 17 year old of north africa in orange and getting smoke by a french cop and suburban parents for failing to abide by a traffic stop. The government contracted Online Platforms like to talk an snapshot and got them to sensor content that the government considered probably magic or provoking things even further. Of course, that censorship under the pretext of curtailing unrest could never end up becoming a precedent resulting sunday and more extensive censorship. For other things that establishment politicians consider inconvenient right . This which in a decision you will, they wont bicycle. The governments decision to suspend. Take told me so the chinese interference, the russian interference with the attack kind of bringing down the entire intimate network just before the president s a relatively New Caledonia plus as a by john, thats too much as you all made. Of course the senate is currently debating a bill on foreign interference in from the diesel sweeties. Massive not just in New Caledonia, but all over the country. A mess comes from many countries, a whole rusher in china. Its time to stop denying it. Its time to protect ourselves against issue. So some of the opposition politicians, notably on the left, are demanding that the government show its work on the take talk ban and to actually connect the dots and prove how exactly take talk and other social media apps arent directly responsible for feeling any violence in New Caledonia, rather than just operating on hunches and theories, that is happening right now is unprecedented. No country in europe has ever band tick tock and government officials have provided no evidence to show the networks linked to the violence. Only one argument young people use this network. The government considered them guilty by definition because of their age. We are facing an extremely serious roberta side will drift. The arguments, developed at the hearing by the government, is still in a sion no evidence is produced to legitimize the use of the band. No connection is demonstrated between the use of tick tock and the violence. This is a guilty indulgence in the use of custodial in mattress. This measure is not legitimate and the government is floundering to justify yet another attack on freedoms in the context of colonial repression. Hey, look, its not like riots in france suddenly became a thing when social media came along, but that hasnt stopped french present in under the black hole from escape go to it. No doubt thats more convenient then revisiting his governments new policy that set off this whole price is the 1. 00 that would mean adding thousands more voters to electronic lists on the island. If those people have been there for 10 years and giving new comers more power than to dilute the electronic voice of the native count acts on the land up until the expiration of the new may accords with france just recently have been given relative autonomy over its electoral process, but before mac home was blaming social media, he was blaming video games for causing glass summers, riots around mainland friends or also he flips. So we saw on several of them snapshot take talk on several august, the island gatherings being organized in a sort of complicating of violence. These im on the youngest leads to a sort of escape from reality. And we sometimes have the feeling that some of them are leaving the streets of the video games that havent bucks a to them. I assume this platforms to be responsible. So its pretty clear that last year nicole had a theory that young people were going around setting france on fire because they just think theyre living in a giant video game and cant tell the difference between life behind the screen and life in front of it. Turns out expert said that was totally wrong, which doesnt really bode well for his fu
