going up in india. so if, if that is also offered at a discounted rate, india will be very likely be tempted to continue doing that. trade fertilizers are also something that india continues to buy from russia. so i think what india is looking at right now is to maintain this trade relationship and not really, it's not really planning to expand it further, but at least maintain the items that are being bought from russia. and if they're being offered at a discounted rate that's, that's be very good for the indian economy. that's what the government of is to be contemplating right now. chelsea that was g w deli correspondent, charo car to k, talking there. now in other news, russian authorities say they will decide how to use we're knows plan and moscow by the end of next week. after the car maker announced it was suspending operations. there were no is also assessing its options for its majority stake in rushes car. number one, car maker after of as the war is heavily weighing on europe's biggest econom

so russia has been trying to, in the actually have been good to india, have supported india in your res, including provided india with the arm supplies, ministry supplies, and went quiet. so whichever way you look at the historic and the from the point of view of being an honest mediator from the context of being a friend, unfriendly neighborhood. a country that perhaps the reason with china on china, aggression towards india, in all of these ways, india abuse that she has a very, very important partner advocate. and i try to have russia. yes, i should be exhibited that it is that reliable to pop. now comes the other side, which is a close relationship with the united states at the other wisdom, to look at the indian history today, you will see that in this perhaps the last of the inhabitants, the committee get better than ever before in the history. india has that part of the quad agreement with understanding with the united states, japan and what jania india has been collecting. nevertheless, the sizes for the metabolic besides with, with all of these, can be taken big into the hall i

now, given that brazil india and india is perceived enemy nuclear um, fellow, enemy bogus done since that they all seem to be against the nato and the u. s. line . well, but india is in the unique position of having to nuclear adversary's china and pakistan that actually close alliance. so same started to try and will in which in this that means to try 9 and pakistan and given that stock reality. and given the fact that drake's increasingly has come under the chinese shadow, india has to be very cautious in relying on pricks as a institution. the bricks has value but fresh is currently not a credible alternative to other international institutions. but it's very much investment in rates because there are going to exaggerate the importance of bricks. the fact is that the country like india, given this security predicament, has to deal with the realities that it faces. what, what is, what do you expect? the u. s. a nato to do to india because of its lack of support, arguably for the civilians dying in the streets of ukraine. what has the american president spoken, even though word on t

now, given that brazil india and india is perceived enemy nuclear fellow enemy of august sun, since they all seem to be against the nato and the u. s. line india isn't the unique position of having to nuclear armed at groceries. china and pakistan that actually close alliance. so it's a strategic triangle in which means to try 9 and pakistan and given that star reality and given the fact that greg increasingly has come under the chinese shadow, india has to be very cautious in relying on pricks as a institution. the bricks has value, but pricks is currently not a credible alternative to other international institutions, but very much investment rates. but so there are to exaggerate the bottom so bricks the factors that a country like india given this security predicament, has to deal with the realities that it faces. what, what is, what do you expect the u. s. and nato to do to india because of its lack of support, arguably for the civilians dying in the streets of ukraine. what has the american president spoken, even though word on the chinese important information against india? has an

, the true anchor has so secured a 1000000000 dollar relief package from india is india got a wide to shrine cuz rescue oh, you know, should i go to a neighbor? i don't think you have much of a choice in this matter. india will do what it can as best as it can. i mean, she has a very specific set of demands requests from india and i think it is already in the process of getting much of this. i think there are some positive signs. i think it's just been announced that indian tourism to feel guys picking up it's all to be i mean a like what ought to set of order to receive from russia and ukraine no longer be able to travel the presence of indian to this is i think going to be a big b plus for the shrunken economy. but i think also on other matters and get assistance to ongoing infrastructure projects and getting credit lines indian loans. i think all of this at the indian government will certainly be a great deal of attention to supporting. so i'm going what we'll wait. ok, i want to ask you another question, but it's related to something that i want to 1st of all to put to nations. al

of russian oil in india. and board basket is less than one percent. and it doesn't really matter much to the trade. but yes, there are reports that the 13000000 barrels of oil have been bought, and several indian companies have gone ahead and place those orders for. there are reports that russia is offering oil at a discount of 27 percent. and india is thinking about are planning to use. those are oil stocks for showing up its strategic or reserves. chelsea rush and india are also reportedly working on a ruby rubel payment mechanism for that oil. how significant is that? well yeah, that's very significant. does he? that's and that's because, um, since trade is continuing between india and russia, the payment systems need to be finalized several exporters in india as well as in russia. have said that this will be the ruble mechanism that existed years ago, needs to be brought back. because a large number of russian banks have been cut off from the swift system and that is impeding payments. now the tricky thin

so russia has been trying to india actually has been good to india, have supported india in right ways, including providing india with the supplies, ministry supplies and when you get acquired. so whichever way you look at the, historically, from the point of view or being an honest mediator from the context of being a friend, the unfriendly neighborhood company that perhaps the reason with china on china, aggression towards india, in all of these ways in the abuse that i see as a very, very important part my advocate and i guess i should be exhibited that is that reliable to pop. now comes the other side which is a close relationship with the united states at the other wisdom up. and if you look at the indian history today, you will see that in this but a half closer to the inhabitants formated get rid of them ever before in the history india has part of the quad agreement with understanding with the united states, japan and what's jania india has been connecting them with places for them about it besides with, with all of these countries in the 2nd big into the hall pacific construct

a number that's been disputed. india's prime minister responded aggressively on part up sandy dot, india wants peace, linkedin, but if provoked, we are capable of giving an appropriate response. ha, ha ha. you're told the beijing said it was defending its territorial integrity at the losing indian troops of crossing the border and provoking chinese soldiers, woody yet, since the ga one incident, chinese and indian officials have met for several rounds of talks aimed to de escalate tensions in february 2021. they agreed to a coordinated pullback. the indian military released footage of chinese soldiers emptying out camps near the disputed border and said it was conducting similar actions. both sides claim the other is building up defensive positions to fortify their territorial claims. as mistrust continues between the nuclear armed rivals and gentlemen are for more is job in t jacob who is one of india's foremost china analysts and an associate professor of the shoot another university near the capital tele. mr. jacob, can i just begin by asking you an utterly basic question, why did one

for india. i think the longer the conflict postings, the more bloodshed that takes place in the ukraine. and the more sort of the, the national community shores in the, in pushing by within from ukraine. i think it will have to sort of warm its position as well. i don't think the support that it has given us. yes. so what is going on while, if i what i think the support that has, that has been given so far east on base is on the believe that this is probably going to end to sometime better school. there will be a quick end to it. one way or the other, but it could persist from, from, from, from what i hear. what i understand this is going to pursue, this is going to go on for some time. think you'd be able to have no choice but to sort of predict need but it's on positions and you are so right. so far we may be going to have been quite understanding. i'll be in position that basically, you know, have not really pushed to india to the war, but there will be a tie when the americans will. i'm the

so india does rely on russia. it has recently purchased a russian air defense system on russian ammunition, russian military technology. so if you look at it in the bigger context and as reliance on brushes, it is a weakness for india as well. but it's something in das to manage. ah, given the new crisis now in the inner pacific, india is part of a group of nations called the quad. and that includes the united states, australia, japan, and india. and supposedly what binds them in part is that they are democracies. and so with this conflict, it's very much a war where in autocracy is invading a democracy. and so i wonder whether india's position on this is having an impact in terms of its standing within the quad. i think india's relationship with russia and, and other states was well known between the court members before the current crisis . so in fact, india's purchase of a russian system before a has brought up discussions of washington's sanctions on potential sanctions on india. so these differences were ther

now given that brazil india and india is perceived enemy nuclear fellow enemy, about your son. since they all seem to be against the nato and the u. s. line. but india isn't the unique position of having to nuclear armed at groceries china and focused on that actually close alliance. so same strategic triangle in which india against china and pakistan and given that stock reality. and given the fact that greg increasingly has come under the chinese shadow, india has to be very cautious in relying on pricks as a institution. the bricks have this value, but bricks is currently not a credible alternative to other international institutions, but very much investment breaks. but so there are to exaggerate the bottom of bricks. the fact is that the country like india, given this security predicament, has to deal with the realities that it faces. what, what is, what do you expect the u. s. and nato to do to india because of its lack of support, arguably for the civilians dying in the streets of ukraine. what has the american president spoken, even though word on the chinese potent rat

and do india has been criticized by the u. s. for being on quote, the wrong side of history for buying russian crude at a discount. what is india's response to that and well, it just has not really registered a formal response to that very specific comment about buying a crew from russia, but of foreign affairs minister and good made the statement in parliament yesterday . and he said that in your stand on ukraine has been very consistent, india is consistently reactivating that of law. still it is in violence need to end . and at the same time, india has been asserting that the global order is based on the un charter and respect for the territorial integrity. and so vanity of all countries about oil, all that india has said, is that it's one of the competent of russian oil in india, as in port basket is less than one percent. and it doesn't really matter much to the trade. but yes, there are reports that the 13000000 barrels of oil have been bought, and several indian companies have gone ahead and place those orders of. there ar

never been stronger than that now, given that brazil, india and india's perceived enemy nuclear armed fellow enemy of august then seems to they all seem to be against the nato. and the u. s. line is in the unique position of having to nuclear armed adversaries, china and pakistan that actually close alliance. so and say strategic triangle in which india swimming against china and pakistan. and given that stark reality. and given the fact that breaks increasingly has come under the chinese shadow in there has to be very cautious in relying on bricks as a institution, the bricks has gradually, but bricks is certainly not a credible alternative to either international institutions. but here it's very much invested in brakes. i could be wrong to exaggerate the importance of bricks. the fact is that a country like india, given this security predicament, has to deal with the realities that it faces. what, what is, what do you expect? the u. s. in nato to do to india because of its lack of support, arguably for the civilians dying in the streets of ukraine. well, an american president spoken

now, given that brazil india and india is perceived enemy nuclear um, fellow enemy, about your son, since they all seem to be against the nato and the u. s. line. well, but india is in the unique position of having to nuclear adversary's china and focused on that actually close alliance. so i would say strategic triangle in which in this means try 9 and pakistan and given that star reality. and given the fact that greg increasingly has come under the chinese shadow, india has to be very cautious in relying on pricks as a institution. the bricks has value, but bricks is currently not a credible alternative to other international institutions. but a very much less than that breaks, but so there are going to exaggerate the importance of bricks. the fact is that a country like india, given this security predicament, has to deal with the realities that it faces. what, what is, what do you expect the u. s and nato to do to india because of its lack of support, arguably for the civilians dying in the streets of ukraine. well, has the american president spoken, even though word on the chinese pot

, then we will leverage to india. if you take 100000 women to a would die by say, baby, the 6, which is global average to bed in terms of numbers, we have a i, or rates we have a bigger than an average. a problem is because there are a large concrete to begin with. i think creating depression is less diagnosed and, you know, redo no one and 7 people and then get is suffering from depression. but that's still a diagnosis. and there is a relationship between depression and suicide. that's in india, but overall diagnosis of mental health issues in order to very nice which makes it ready for us to to, to you know, right. ok, that's a very good point because you can say it's not due to depression. but if you don't have numbers of people who have access to talk to therapist, how would we know? well that is a scene set of folks. so the multiple challenges that india is dealing with regarding dec by suicide. i'm going to push on a little bit because the offices to these challenges, i want to buy that to dr. palka. he spoke to

i do not think india has much of a choice. india will do what it can as best as it can. sri lanka has a very specific set of demands, requests from india. i think there are some positive signs. it has just been announced indian tourism to sri lanka is picking up. in light of what the report just said about tourists from russia and ukraine no longer being able to travel, the presence of indian tourists would be a big plus for the sri lankan economy. but i think also another matter -- on other matters, ongoing infrastructure projects, indian credit lines, all of this, the indian government will be paying attention to supporting sri lanka whatever way it can. adrian: back with you in just a moment. to what extent has chinese debt played a huge role in sri lanka's current predicament? i remember at the time that chinese involvement was first announced, there were dire warnings over the country becoming indebted to china. have those warnings ultimately proven to be correct? nishan: i think chinese debt is not the largest foreign debt sri lanka has to repay. it also is not in

take the lice are in india. this is a huge, serious problem, but he had a problem at he has solutions. we start ash old with nelson moses. i started suicide prevention india from be she because i lost my best friend to so said. so sad is the most preventable from of debt. 8 or 10 individuals are giving us warning signs. what will non verbal and written, organization trains, individuals, students, housewives crisis, helpline wall, interiors, medical students, doctors, nurses, corporate professionals to be able to pick up these, wanting science, have a conversation with them. provide emotional support post to lead them to get help and ref for them to a mental health profession, jane gatekeepers or your position to save thousands of lives. and this is critical in a country like india, when we do not have enough infrastructure investment research or a suicide prevention policy. we need to train millions to steve thousands. i want this episode to be a very open conversation between us and our candidates, so you can t

now given that brazil india and india is perceived. emily nuclear fellow enemy, about your son, since they all seem to be against the nato and the u. s. line. well, as in the unique position of having to nuclear armed adversary's china and focused on that i actually close alliance. so it's a strategic triangle in which india against china and pakistan. and given that stark reality. and given the fact that drake's increasingly has come under the chinese shadow, india has to be very cautious in relying on pricks as a institution. the bricks has value, but pricks is currently not a credible alternative to other international institutions. but it's very much investment in rates because there are to exaggerate the importance of bricks. the fact is that a country like india given it is security predicament has to deal with the realities that it faces. what, what is, what do you expect the u. s. and nato to do to india because of its lack of support, arguably for the civilians dying in the streets of ukraine. what has the american president s

there will be thinking in india for india. i think the law that'll be constant postings. the more bloodshed that takes place in the ukraine and the more sort of the national community shores in, in pushing by whipping from euclid. i think we have to sort of what it's position as what i don't think the support that it has given us. yes. so what is going on while, if i what i think the support that has, that has been given. so a lot of ease on based on the belief that this is probably going to enter some time school. there will be a quick end to it. one way or the other, but if it persist and it from, from, from, from what i hear, what i understand this is going to pursue, this is going to go on for some time. i think you'd be able to have no choice but to sort of predict positions and you are so right, so far we, i'm going to be quite understanding of the position that basically, you know, have not really pushed to india to the world. but there will be a try when the americans will, i'm the western partners will be out. wait a minute, you can sort of continue to play both

, the true anchor has so secured a 1000000000 dollar relief package from india is india got a ride to shore anchors rescue. well, you know, should i go to a neighbor? i don't think it has much of a choice in this matter. india will do what it can as best as it can. i mean, she has a very specific set of demands requests from india and i think it is already in the process of delivering much of this. i think there are some positive signs. i think it's just been announced that indian tourism to feel i'm sticking up. it's all to be, i mean, a light of what ought to set of order to receive from russia and ukraine, no longer be able to travel. the presence of indian to this is, i think, going to be a big b plus for the shrunken economy. but i think also on other matters and get assistance to ongoing infrastructure projects, indian credit lines, indian loans. i think all of this at the indian government will certainly be paying a great deal of attention to supporting too long and what we'll wait. okay. i'll ask you another question, but it's related to something that i want 1st of all to put

erin: india? how are you doing? india: fine, how are you? erin: do you have any questions about the education that you received? erin: i think india is a great example of a lot-- all of our patients. they know their lives, and if that patient says, "i cannot be pregnant right now, i cannot even be pregnant and give this baby away to someone else to parent," they know their bodies the best. erin: i'm just gonna put it in your hand. kathryn: dr. erin king administers india's abortion pill. erin: there you go, so just swallow like a regular pill. male: god's threats are not a mere empty threat, it is a warning to say that if you choose death, that death will come to you. kathryn: outside, volunteer escorts like maggie olivia are on the front line, helping patients to the clinic door safely. maggie olivia: we stand with them for as long as they'd like until they get inside of the clinic, and then when they're ready to walk back out, we're here to walk them back to their car. female: y'all have a safe drive home. kathryn: having had an abortion l

and india is a part of the russia-india trilateral, as you know. but as you know, the situation regarding china-russia relations is also a evolving one. the two countries are much closer, much more bound together than they were before. but i guess -- i instantly feel that china is taken aback by the turn in developments in the ukraine. nobody seems to have foreseen the turn that these developments would take. for instance, if india had known conflict was imminent, i am sure instructions or advisories would have been issued to our students to leave the ukraine immediately, without delay, but that didn't happen. so in a sense, i think both india and china have taken stock of these developments, are focusing on a much more concerted manner on how they will adjust their positions regarding the russian invasion of ukraine in the days to come. rishaad: what about india itself and its position in the quad, how does it maintain a voice there with the same vociferous ness of the others? nirupana: india has a very credible and important and significant voice

for their security. india is not dependent on the u . s. word security. india is certainly likes u. s. political support, but at the end of the day near depend on itself. so it is self interest which is driving immune policy. i don't think any ideology drives of george. she says moscow also supported india's foreign policy in the region before and after the co lapse of the soviet union. but that's not the only reason. self interest may be behind and you daily's choice to remain neutral on russia's war in ukraine. india in ports, 80 percent of its oil needs, and rising oil prices have already led to protests. so while other countries spurned russian oil, india is buying it so far. it has bought at least 13000000 barrels, according to bloomberg news. and without that, many takers of russian oil, india may very well benefit from lower prices. i asked our deli correspondent, cherry charo car to kay about western criticisms of india for buying russian crude at a discount is india on the wrong side of history as the u. s a sad well, it has not really registered a formal response to that v

be average to india. if you take $100000.00 women to a would die by say, baby, the 6, which is global average to bed in terms of numbers, we have a rates, we have a bigger than an average. a problem is because there are a large concrete to begin with. i think creating depression is less diagnosed and you know, redo no one and 7 people and then is suffering from depression. but that's the diagnosis. and there is a relation between depression and suicide that's in india. but overall diagnosis of mental health issues is also very nice, which makes it very difficult for us to to, to you know, right? yeah. ok, that's a very good point because you can say, oh, it's not due to depression. but if you don't have numbers of people who have access to talk to therapist, how would we know? well, that is a seen set of folks. so the multiple challenges that india is dealing with regarding death by suicide. i'm going to push on a little bit because there are to these challenges. i want to dr. palka. he spoke to a few hou

india. well, i want to take a closer look at india's position today because it's really fascinating why it's still trying to stay on the fence in the face of everything that is happening. well, i spoke to happy mon jacob, he's one of india most prominent foreign policy think has he's a professor at j, a university in delhi. and he also hosts the national security conversations on youtube. so i started by asking him to describe what position india has been taking in this crisis so far. you know, so far in there has taken a very cautious care to position on the claim crisis. all right? yes. invasion of you created by my put it bluntly, i said that because india has started really stuff that i should ration. it has also not really can be a division of ukraine. what have you done? pretty interesting in the has up state to from what they are on a solution at the un security council, which called for the can the mission of that i should the division of ukraine, but the qualified that with with the

been going up in india. so if, if that is also offered at a discounted rate, india will be very likely be tempted to continue doing that. trade fertilizers are also something that india continues to buy from russia. so i think what india is looking at right now is to maintain this trade relationship and not really, it's not really planning to expand it further, but at least maintain the items that are being bought from russia. and if they're being offered at a discounted rate that's, that's be very good for the indian economy. that's what the government of is to be contemplating right now. chelsea that was g w's delhi correspondent, charo car to k, talking there. now in other news, russian authorities say they will decide how to use where knows, plan and moscow by the end of next week, after the car maker announced it was suspending operations. there were no is also assessing its options for its majority stake in rushes car. number one, car maker after of as the war is heavily weighing on europe's biggest ec

a number that's been disputed. india prime minister responded aggressively popped up on the dock india once piece leg in. but if provoked, we are capable of giving an appropriate response. heart of holiday, you're told the being said it was defending its territorial integrity at the losing indian troops of crossing the border and provoking chinese soldiers. since the goal, one incident, chinese and indian officials had met for several rounds of talks aimed to de escalate tensions. and february 2021, they agreed to a coordinated pullback. the indian military released footage of chinese soldiers emptying out camps near the disputed border and said it was conducting similar actions. both sides claim the other is building up defensive positions to fortify their territorial claims. as mistrust continues between the nuclear armed rival and joining an offer more is job in te, jacob is one of india's foremost china analysts and an associate professor at the shoe. another university near the capital tele, mr. jacob, can i just begin by asking you're actually basic question. why did one you visi

s. word security. india is certainly lakes your us wanted to call support. but at the end of the day there depend on itself. so it is self interest, which is driving immune policy. i don't think any ideology drives of joy. she says moscow also supported india's foreign policy in the region before and after the cold lapse of the soviet union. but that's not the only reason. self interest may be behind a new daily's choice to remain neutral on russia's war in ukraine. india in ports, 80 percent of its oil needs. and rising oil prices have already led to protests. so while other countries burn russian oil, india is buying it so far it has bought at least 13000000 barrels according to bloomberg news. and without that, many takers of russian oil, india may very well benefit from lower prices. the war in ukraine is goes something of a global split between those countries. still willing to cooperate, cooperate of, with russia and those who are not on wall street. there's even talk of the end of globalization. let's get more on that from a correspondent at the new y

cushion for india . and i'm very sure that in the stance that india has become in the security council, the dentist simply these considerations were sitting at work. and i don't think the americans are, i know they have it. and you know, what's the point in pushing and breaking your relationship in spoiling it when the other side doesn't have much space to, you know, i'd say russia relationships. so with this insight, i don't need to get into the details of it. and brushing is the only country which has shown billing best transfer. i took my money back on india, gold prediction with the all sorts of things of that relationship. not only that 60 or 70 percent of the in the country usa rational and then that is your news for this hour. and just under 35 minutes, i will be back with another full and fresh look and more coverage of the war. and you can stay with us, our international ah ah, i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by hum

so russia has been trying to india actually has been good to india has supported india in your ways, including provided india with the supplies, ministry supplies and reading the required. so whichever way you look at the historic and the from the point of view or being an honest mediator from the context of being a friend, unfriendly neighborhood. a company that can well have reason with china on china, aggression towards india, in all of these ways. india abuse that she has a very, very important partner advocate and i try to rush as i should be exhibited, that it is that reliable to pop. now comes the other side, which is a close relationship with the united states as the other with the up to look at the indian history today, you will see that in this for the haps closer to the united states of america today, then ever before in the history, india has that part of the quad agreement with understanding with the united states, japan. and what's julia? india has been conducting david exercises for the, about the sizes with, with all of these countries in the 2nd big into the hall in

i need to india, co prediction with india. you know, all sorts of things in the, in the, in the mission ship. not only that, the 60 or 70 percent of the country use of rationale again. so do i need to tell you more on that? it will be it that's recent in $715.00. and that's what the facts to speak for themselves early today, there was a meeting between the foreign ministers of russia and ukraine. in your opinion, how to mistake argue that moscow and kid can reach a piece feel soon. when i go to the tops today in that that try to talk to me and this sort of an issue definitely cannot be taken very far within a play level format in any way. so i had no whatsoever. there's not going to be an immediate break to, i'm going to minimize the significance of what happened and i was listening to a program i way to agree with, you know, what you had mentioned about the find a relationship that existing between turkey and green and turkey and entities in a complicated situation that onset and do some relationship with well, let me put it

as the ukraine conflict rages on an india considers buying discounted russian oil. the white house is telling the world to decide, are you with us, or are you against us or message to into any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions of but that we are, we have put in place and recommended. i don't believe this would be violating that, but also think about where you want to stand when, when the history books are written in this moment in time, i end up support for rush. the russian leadership is support for an, an invasion that i obviously is having a devastating impact. new delhi isn't the only one being pressured by the western camp. china to has been accused of picking the wrong side despite beijing saying it would rather stay out of the whole thing. oh, shine is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to our to ukraine and the aggression being committed by russia. as for the us, it seems like no matter how many toes it steps on, washington will say it's still one of the good guys. it doesn't matter that oil prices have risen 40 pe

move would put india on what it hold the wrong side of history. of what we would projector convey to any leader around the world is that the world, the rest of the world is watching, where you're going to stand as it relates to this conflict. i whether it's support for russia in any form as they are illegally invading ukraine, looking at the political analysts say japan is less likely to be critical of india sounds in state coffee. it's about what, what, how to most. i think china da thought india, us. yellowstone haute, indiana russia to the stands. why in the us, why i think at the end of the day it boils down to national interest. i think these companies do understand japan, most importantly, if not by maybe left the let the other companies. but definitely, i think talk your east in full appreciation all for india flight in this particular case is sun. unlike statements from the u. s. and u. k, focusing on india stand on russia, the japanese prime minister said the 2 countries will keep trying to end the war and keep providing support to ukrain

we went for the mig 21 in the 1900 sixty's because the f one o 4 was denied india. we're seeing the same kind of thing. on the other hand, it's not for nothing that india is enjoyed friendly relations with russia for so long. over the past 69 years, new delhi and moscow have only diverged a handful of times that un votes. throughout the pandemic, russia has sent 10 tons of medical aid to india. and what is the u. s. offered demands, threats, and smack talk. give me a shout on india because is one country which has substantial relationship with russia. and that's also, you know, white teams thick, those are the economy. and in national security, i mean you can smell reading well that we are not with a lot mentality. so that's the, that's just what you hear also that you don't know, it becomes all one more difficult. it dependence on russia for india in the us national security, it will collapse without definition. sure. so, you know, they're talking to us on the track where there is really no far back position for the u. s. is also pushing china to join anti russian

india today. welcome to the program. like, you know, we understand there are allegations that the nationalist brigade did shell, this university accommodation, housing, indian students. what more can you tell us about what happened? well, what we came to know from going to general because millions have is that, you know, there was the neo nazis had fired at the hall at the hospital where indian students were living in. so me and that, you know, 5 of them were actually heard. and then the other reports which tell us that about 11 indian students are missing actually. busy so, you know, there are all kinds of reports coming in from all quarters. you know that out of the 76000 foreign students in, inside ukraine. more than 20000 are indians. now fortunately, in the last one week, quite a few will have returned because president putin and prime minister nor in durham or d, had had long talks. and in that they kind of came to an agreement that they would be a fuse fire. while, while these indian studen

for their security. india is not dependent on the u . s. word security. india is certainly likes u. s. political support, but at the end of the day near depend on itself. so it. ringback it is self interest, which is driving a new policy. i don't think any ideology drives of george. she says moscow also supported india's foreign policy in the region before and after the co lapse of the soviet union. but that's not the only reason. self interest may be behind and you daily's choice to remain neutral on russia's war in ukraine. india in ports, 80 percent of its oil needs. and rising oil prices have already led to protests to while other countries spurn russian oil. india is buying it so far. it has bought at least 13000000 barrels according to bloomberg needs. and without that, many takers of russian oil, india may very well benefit from lower prices. the war in ukraine is called something of a global split between those countries. still willing to cooperate, cooperate of with russia and those who are not on wall street. there's even talk of the end of globalization. let's get more on

so india does rely on russia. it has recently purchased a russian air defense system on russian ammunition, russian military technology. so if you look at it in the bigger context and as reliance on russia, it is a weakness for india as well. but it's something in das to manage. ah, given the new crisis now in the inner pacific, india is part of a group of nations called the quad. and that includes the united states, australia, japan, and india. and supposedly what binds them in part is that they are democracies. and so with this conflict, it's very much a war where in autocracy is invading a democracy. and so i wonder whether india's position on this is having an impact in terms of its standing within the quad. i think india's relationship with russia and, and other states was well known between the court members before the current crisis . so in fact, india's purchase of a russian system before a has brought up discussions of washington's sanctions on potential sanctions on india. so these differences were there

but yet the nudging india to take a clear, good job. they are indicating that they are not too happy with the standard has taken especially at the un nudging, but it's still a tightrope. walk that india and the width most of them appear to be doing chris w charo carter k. i knew deleon, tara, thank you. while india's neighbor tr lanka is already going, so when economic crisis, fuel reserves are low as our foreign currency reserves to import it and rising all prices, i'm at the russia ukraine conflict are making a bad situation worse. it's one long line of trucks waiting to get fuel. but with the oil price skyrocketing to more than $110.00 a barrel, sri lanka can't afford much of it. and even when gas stations do get the delivery problems persist or not they are they now, you know, i've been here since 7 am. yesterday the fuel came, but now they said there is no electricity to come pick it up. might be under the, on the, on the, on the one. that's because power plants have run out of fuel to ask for hydrogen power. reza was dried up and

this is something that india went ahead when, in spite of the threat of american sanctions. and interestingly, you with is yet to enforce those sanctions which has made him feel encouraged to go ahead with his be. so overall, this relationship is very important for strategic reasons, as well as for defense reasons, which is possibly why is this thing from taking a very clear cut stand against russia and international for many companies from the west have been cutting their ties with russia. how has the indian corporate world been reacting to the russian aggression? i think christine didn't cooperate well if no waiting to take a cue from the government. and since the government has yet to take a stand against russia. indian corporate have also chosen to remain mom or remaining questions about what time they would like to take on the russian economy and doing business in russia. so none of them have taken the stand, for example, like the standard british petroleum that they can. that is something that is missing in in the right now, and i think that is largely because of the l

has the ukraine conflict raises on an india considers buying discounted russian oil? the white house is telling the world to decide, are you with us, or are you against us or message to, to any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions. but that we, we have put in place and recommended. i don't believe this would be violating that, but also think about where you want to stand when, when the history books are written in this moment in time and support for the russian leadership is support for an invasion. that obviously is having a devastating impact. new delhi isn't the only one being pressured by the western camp. china to has been accused of picking the wrong side despite beijing saying it would rather stay out of the whole thing. well, china is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to, to ukraine and the aggression being committed by russia. as for the us, it seems like no matter how many toes it steps on, washington will say it's still one of the good guys. it doesn't matter that oil prices have risen 40 percent this year, and indi

give me a shout on india because it's one country which has. busy substantive relationship with russia, and that's also in that whitening stick. those are the economy and in national security, i mean you can smell reading well that we are not with a lot mentality. so that's the, that's just a worry here also that you don't, don't know, it becomes all one more difficult. it dependence on russia for india in the us national city will, will hold ours. we don't definition. sure. so, you know, they're talking to us on the track where there is really no far back position for just days after the conflict in ukraine started ukraine's president asked for volunteers to join an international legion. ukrainian authorities have said that about 20000 people from 52 countries have responded, but some experts have raised concerns about a possible influx of volunteers with far right views or she's charlotte davinsky comments. when the conflict in ukraine began, vladimir putin claimed that one of the objectives was the de next vacation of the country. it has the
