What happens when a nuclear power plant sits on the edge of a war zone? In an exclusive interview on the Sanchez Effect, Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev opens up about the daily heroism – and the tragic human toll – at the Zaporozhye NPP, where workers are targeted by the Ukrainian side on their way to work simply for staying on the job, and choosing the Russian flag.

Beyond the front lines, Mr. Likhachev breaks down the shifting global energy landscape. He explains how Rosatom continues to build projects across the world, from Egypt to Bangladesh despite unprecedented sanctions; why Germany’s retreat from nuclear energy was a “strategic error” that hurt its own economy and why the future of nuclear energy belongs to the 7 billion people outside the “Golden Billion.” A conversation you don’t want to miss – tune in, only on RT.

From defending Russian oil imports against Western pressure to balancing ties with the US, Israel and Iran, Aneja examines India’s strategic choices. He explores why India must deepen its ties with Russia beyond oil, Moscow’s potential role in improving India-China relations, and the prospects for closer Russia-India-China cooperation. The conversation also covers the future of the Quad, Eurasian connectivity and why India’s economic rise is key to shaping a multipolar world. Watch the full conversation to know more.

CrossTalking with Matthew Crosston and Constantin von Hoffmeister.

He outlines the deep ideological fault lines fracturing the modern world. On one side stands a detached Western technocracy clinging to an aggressive, outdated NATO framework; on the other, a rapidly rising multipolar reality demanding mutual respect for culture, identity, and vital national interests. 

Drawing from his family’s profound legacy, de Gaulle revisits the historical truths of World War II, and delivers a sobering warning to the West: as the Global South unites around an equilibrium of diversity, European elites are quietly waking up to a reality they can no longer avoid – true European peace and economic survival are impossible without Russia.

We search for snow leopard tracks high in the mountains, milk a steppe mare to make traditional kumis, and even taste the water of Tuva’s salt lakes.

Join Inland Visions as we head off the beaten track into one of the most extraordinary corners of Russia.

From dentistry to three Grammys, Kej shares his journey and explains how Prime Minister Narendra Modi has revived pride in Indian music. He also emphasizes on why India’s cultural influence deserves greater recognition.

Kej further talks about the enduring popularity of Bollywood song ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ in Russia and questions the idea of separate Grammy categories for Asian artists. He advocates the setting up of a global music award originating from the Global South, where music from all over the world, including the West, is recognized and awarded.

For decades, the global perception of Africa has been shaped by Hollywood and Western newsrooms filtering the continent down to nothing but poverty and chaos. On the latest Sanchez Effect, veteran journalist Salim Kikeke exposes how mainstream networks manufacture headlines from the inside, sharing his first-hand experience. Together, Rick and Salim dive into why the Western ‘cool guy’ image is failing when stacked against actual economic and political realities, and how Gen Z and social media challenges are bypassing mainstream gatekeepers to show the true, beautiful Africa.

The crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, unrest in Europe and US domestic politics – all these are covered in just one episode of the ‘Sanchez Effect’. RT correspondent Yasin Eken is on the streets of Paris bringing us the opinions of locals. He says they have a single demand: ‘for Emmanuel Macron to step down’. For the rest Rick brings in Calla Walsh, the American political analyst who moved to Beirut in Lebanon to expose Israeli actions there. She says that it does not matter who are you – Democrat or Republican – they maintain the same policy just with different means and that same policy is always on the side of Israel.

Despite relentless outside attempts to sow division, Al-Shammeri highlights that the Saudi monarchy and MBS remain overwhelmingly popular, especially among the nation’s youth.

But this goes way beyond regional headlines. Al-Shammeri breaks down why the Middle East has become a critical battleground in the global power shift from a unipolar world to an East-West showdown between the US and China. He reveals why the Kingdom – despite spending $30 billion on aid and defense – is actively pushing the US to de-escalate with Iran in pursuit of real political stability.

He also tackles the optics problem: why the world loves a “David vs. Goliath” story, why it’s completely unfair to Saudi Arabia in the fight against the Houthis, and how the media manipulates the narrative. Tune in now to get the unfiltered story.

CrossTalking with Alex Reporterfy, Harrison Berger, and Dragana Mitrovic.

Stanislav Krapivnik, former US marine officer joins this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ with maps and military analysis of the conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen. The Russian military has delivered a report on major developments on the frontlines to President Vladimir Putin – forces have captured logistic hubs and expanded a ‘buffer zone’ throughout the border with Ukraine. Krapivnik says Russian forces have knocked out bridges over the Dnieper River, making it almost impossible for Kiev’s forces to hold their lines in Donbass and Eastern Ukraine. On the Yemen front, the third-largest city has been completely blocked by the Houthis and this encirclement gets tighter and tighter every day leading to the upcoming takeover of this significant city. Watch the whole analysis here on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

From Trump’s tariff wars and America’s shifting global priorities to India’s ties with Russia and the future of BRICS, Shankar unpacks the forces reshaping global diplomacy. She also weighs in on the decline of SAARC, the deadlock over UN Security Council reforms, the crisis in Gaza, and the rise of economic nationalism. As global uncertainty grows, what should India’s diplomatic playbook look like? Watch the full episode to know more.

Europe has become a battlefield as anti-government protests turn violent across the EU. Investigative journalist Elizabeth Lane joins RT’s Sanchez Effect to discuss the way EU leaders fail to address the concerns of their nations and blame the riots on Vladimir Putin. Elizabeth also argues that Donald Trump’s diesel deal was the right decision, calling him “not the best politician but a great businessman.”

CrossTalking with Esteban Carrillo Lopez, Sami Al-Arian, and Mohammad Khatibi.

He says the real lesson of the Galwan clash was learned by Beijing, not New Delhi. “It is probably the Chinese who have learnt the lesson rather than us. They realised that a military option to resolve the boundary question is out. It cannot be resolved militarily,” says Naravane. With delimitation now back on the table, he sees hope, but says India cannot let its guard down.

He weighs in on the Makkah Pact between Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, a tricky equation for India, with Riyadh a friend and Islamabad a threat, and warns that Bangladesh’s entry could open a second front. On India-Russia relations, he says trust has taken defence ties from buyer-seller to co-production, with co-development next. He adds that BrahMos is the prime example, having proven itself in Operation Sindoor and now drawing buyers from around the world.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick sits down with European Parliament Member Lubos Blaha to expose how the Western establishment is facing a political earthquake. From massive industrial layoffs in Germany to violent street protests in France and Spain, the tolerance for corrupt elites has officially run out.

Blaha warns that citizens are being forced into poverty by a crippling energy crisis and soaring living costs – all while billions are funneled away from healthcare and education into a permanent war machine.

With anti-globalist movements rapidly rising, the economic pressure has reached a boiling point. The people are demanding a different future. Will the elites bend? Tune in to find out what’s in the cards for them – only on RT.

CrossTalking with Karen Kwiatkowski and Steve Jermy.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick and his guest attempt to answer the million dollar question: How did a war-torn nation manage to upend the calculus of global superpowers and multi-billion-dollar defense networks? Al-Bukhaiti addresses the motivations driving the current escalation, dispelling Western narratives of blind aggression. He outlines a strategic, law-bound approach to self-defense, warning that recent violations of the truce have pushed Yemen past the point of no return. With a population where “everyone has their own gun and knows exactly how to use it,” he details the potential mobilization of millions ready to take the battle directly into Saudi territory. He warns: “If your house is made of glass, stop throwing rocks at your neighbors.” Al-Bukhaiti says now that the Houthis have the upper hand, the demands are different for the Saudis. To learn what they are and how the rules of war have been rewritten, watch the latest episode of Sanchez Effect.

Is the US-Russia diesel deal as significant as it sounds? Johnson argues it is a very good deal for Russia – and a meaningless one for the US. Why does he point to a first shipment of 2.7 million barrels – against 3.5 million barrels of daily US consumption? Did the deal violate laws Trump himself signed? And can it hold if, as Johnson claims, the CIA is a “wild card” pursuing its own agenda?

Can Washington really pressure Kiev? What would a halt to satellite data or a Starlink shutdown change on the battlefield? Why does Johnson say Russia refuses a ceasefire, and what does he believe changed in Russia’s approach after the Starobelsk college attack?

What does Johnson mean when he calls Europe the “canary in the mineshaft”? Could Riyadh use its Treasury holdings to pull the US into its conflict with the Houthis? And with Trump caught in the Iran conflict before the midterms, does Johnson’s reading of US politics hold up?

Russia and the United States make a deal to recover the world’s diesel prices but Ukraine and the EU lash out at it. Craig Murray, former British senior diplomat is on RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ saying that “the idea that the Western elites work for the good of the ordinary people is obviously wrong.” He describes the Western policies as cynical and focused on self-enrichment instead of building a better world and welfare for their own citizens. Craig has also shared his experience of being a British ambassador in one of the former Soviet Republics and reveals that NATO did very dire things there.

CrossTalking with Daniel McAdams, Jenin Younes, and Tyler Nixon.

Nageswaran calls India’s 2047 Viksit Bharat goal “audacious” and unprecedented for a democracy of its size. He addresses the delayed India-US trade deal, tariffs, energy uncertainty and the rupee’s depreciation, and explains why some of these headwinds could prove a “blessing in disguise,” with energy uncertainty helping India diversify its energy sources and tariffs pushing it to broaden its export footprint.

He also discusses India-Russia trade and says that the $100 billion bilateral trade target signals intent and could create the conditions to expand the relationship further.

RT’s Peter Lavelle interviews Sulaiman Ahmed.

On the latest Sanchez Effect, Scott Ritter compares the Western political establishment to a misbehaved canine and explains why Russia will not call a timeout now. When you are winning the game by five touchdowns in the fourth quarter, you do not pause to negotiate with an opponent that has repeatedly broken its word.

Together with Rick, they break down the seismic shifts happening in the world’s most critical flashpoints. From the heavily contested waters of the Red Sea to the drone-choked skies of Ukraine, this episode exposes why multi-billion-dollar Western arsenals are suddenly failing against highly motivated and adaptive forces, leaving the West to reckon with its own technological and political vulnerabilities.

In the latest episode of In Conversation with Salman Khurshid, India’s former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid speaks with Anuj Bahri Malhotra, bookseller, publisher, literary agent, and custodian of Delhi’s iconic Bahrisons Booksellers in Khan Market.

Against the backdrop of a family journey shaped by Partition, the conversation explores the rise of AI, literature, banned books, freedom of expression, and the changing world of ideas. As algorithms increasingly shape what we read, watch, and believe, the discussion asks who gets to influence ideas, and who gets to challenge them.

Fernand Kartheiser, Member of the European Parliament from Luxembourg is on RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, as Rick wants to discuss Europe’s snowballing issues. Kartheiser calls on the EU to start talking to Russia, as it could both bring peace closer and create trade opportunities between the bloc and Moscow. The European lawmaker is also concerned over billions of euros sent to Kiev while the EU’s own citizens are facing daily challenges: how to feed their families and where to find money to pay taxes.
