don't the the russian forces push you ahead of the front clearing minds left by retreating you premium soldiers. while the french president doubles done on calls to sending troops to your train, called sparks of controversy for tried to get nato allies on board. also ahead, does india say that stepping up trade with russia in defiance of western pressure? we sit down to discuss the prospect with the spokes person. indeed, not the patient from the board alia, does not see any certificate part dictation from the rest of the work regarding it's at a tire shop or any other kind of recall that might the funds in bob blake kick saw

the culture versus usaid agency from the country after washington slob, sanctions on the african nation. top officials the live for most go with this sunday, march the 10th. it's the weekly review of the big news stories from the past 7 days . hello and welcome. we begin with the ukraine conflict where most go say's its trip. started bouncing on the southern front. so beat is up on rogia region. the russian defense ministry has really sub age of its engineers. during the growing from you printing in mines and other munitions, the, the

space was taken as a trophy by a comrade roof during the advance on the same front. it's an american grenade. and this is a german split, a grenade. will someone put to the enemy mostly uses em? 70 mines? these are american mines. they are deployed remotely. approaching them is forbidden, just and so on. i mean you to a such remote mining affects the magnetic field. therefore, such minds are the most difficult to destroy. as you do not know how close you can approach them, therefore we have to use some new technologies of our own and we figure out how to destroy it all upfront deployed troops to ukraine. if russian forces advance towards key if or odessa that's according to the french president speaking behind closed doors with local party leaders in part of this week, or the year and money,

well my call and tried to rally fellow, you politicians for a possible military intervention. but there seems to be little appetite for that. and you bring germany, as you said before, though we are certainly approaching the time. and now you are up when we must not be cowards. we never want to see the dramas to come. the fact that war has returned to us soil the powers that have become on stuff people are extending the threat every day attacking us. so we have to be meet the challenge of history and match the coverage that implies who can offer more, who is more coverage as of who is more, whatever it is, not about them who wants to do more. you have to focus on that. this is what ukraine really needs the most. we don't need to really, from my perspective, at least discussions about boots on the ground are being more off to having more coverage or less coverage. this is something which does not really help solving the issues we have last month,

mr. mccaul sent shock waves across the west. when he said nato could send troops to ukraine. fronts has reportedly started training of soldiers for a potential flash with a powerful opponent. but the countries, the allies, are in no rush to do the same with several states. open leasing that no such brands . after the french president simple zone on his goals, washington reiterated its refusal tip of the words and then he certainly has every right inability to, to speak for himself and his views. all i can do is speak for president by the commander in chief and the president has been clear. we have been extraordinarily strong and leading international efforts to support you credit for the last 2 years . he's also been very clear since the very beginning of this war. there's not going to be us troops on the ground fighting inside you create any will. this all comes against the backdrop, open, intercepted call,

released by archie that revealed an explosive conversation between the top german general. it's not a discuss plans to send long range missiles to ukraine, to destroy russia's crime in bridge. berlin admitted the call was authentic, but as also tried to shift the blame for the scandal to the criminal a good us, that's the telephone. i mean, the reason that the phone call could still be recorded in the ranks of the air force is due to an individual application error. not all participants adhere to the secure dialing procedure as prescribed. according to current knowledge, data was leaked from the participant in singapore. he was connected via an unauthorized connection, i. e, virtually via an open connection. this is exactly what putting wants to achieve over the course of several months, or at least several weeks. he sets the agenda for what we're discussing here in germany, whether it is support for ukraine in one form or another, how successful ukraine is,

whether it can win the war or not at the time and time again. this is an agenda imposed from outside by certain events. i am very angry about this story among other things because we have been dealing with only this topic for 3 days here because yeah, i can say, well, this timeline this because on monday the german ambassador was summoned to the russian foreign ministry to offer an explanation he declined to give any comments as he was swarmed here by masses of during list entering the building. their berlin has been scrambling for damage control after the leak. coal was released by ortiz editor in chief last week. just a reminder, enough 38 minute conversation german or for staff including 2 generals, laid out their plans to send tal risk cruise missiles to ukraine. know they discuss potential targets, including the crime mean bridge on said it would take dozens of missiles to bring

it on. the verified coal also saw the mulling over how to ensure a plausible deniability for berlin. it's and also this. so i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the bridge and the east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the tourist can do it. the ammunition depots can also be hit we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us part of the conflict. my, i'm exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from poland, so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that. on monday, do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own? after all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes, who speak with an american accent. without li cole proves that germany is preparing

military operations against russia. that is the direct conclusion from the russian foreign ministry spokesman. but he is a hold of a slum burleson's intentions and also reminded germany that similar moods ended in disaster for the european country during world war 2. those still will be added in uh no. what was presented to the world community shows the long time and plans intention of the need to country gemini, to conduct the military operations against the russian federation. it was literally described step by step how terrorist attacks against civilian infrastructure would be carried out. and the speakers were clearly aware of the fact that they were discussing the bombing of a civilian bridge. and they specifically spoke on this topic saying that the bridge is of great political importance. that is the z, she should know, tying in the yeah. and we proceed from the fact the gemini is obliged to give explanations to your those. and there should be an open conversation between violin,

between german officials and their own population. and excuse me, with the entire international community. because what the whole world has hud, and this old year recording is presented in its original raises and a numerous number of questions for germany in general. especially forgive me, the very german officials who are there on this recording to remind each other of the glorious as a belief post of the lift of off and what is the score this post of the lift will affect if they talk about the previous call. i'm about to experience, it's the 2nd world war and it turns out the experience of those, yeah, is, is still alive today. and this still willing to apply it. but it's a different dimensional altogether received board and you should get to get, want to show you this as well. because polls show that more germans actually favor an end to the ukraine conflict through negotiated settlement versus seeing the fighting dry guide that's not as active as from the e. u countries free sucks and the party have filed

a lawsuit against the military stuff caught red handed in. that's linked conversation, accusing them of trying to carry out an act of aggression. as the revelation spread around the world, berlin has been struggling to contain the full od. here's our to contribute our original morrison with her to so it's real, the german government tells the western press the half hour long tape of germany's air force chief plotting with fellow military brass to deliver long range torres missiles to ukraine and blow up the crime in bridge in a way that gives chance for off schultz plausible deniability is indeed authentic. they got caught wanting to launch themselves down the slippery slope towards direct war with russia, but ended up hitting a snag ripping their pants. and now their butts are hanging out for the entire world, the sea and the opposition. christian democrats are not keen on tossing everyone involved a bathrobe for modesty. the report so strange in 2 respects. on the one hand,

security related conversations are obviously being overheard by the russians. on the other hand, the chancellor may justify his rejection of taurus deliveries with a misrepresentation. the federal chancellor must explain himself to the bonus tag. in this situation, the committee of inquiry cannot be excluded so much for all that plausible deniability that was being built up in the boonies. died recently with all that theatre. where shaw says government voted down an opposition resolution to specifically give ukraine torres missiles only to then introduce their own motion instead that more vaguely specified long range weapons. without explicitly mentioning the key word, defense minister boris. the stories didn't even know what was in that motion. he said, because well, he didn't write, it may be, it includes torres is or maybe it doesn't. who knows? not the german defense minister. in any case,

not that anyone with stopping schultz or pin stores or their government from explicitly outlined the transfer to ukraine of german missiles of exceptional 500 kilometer range, capable of doing what it's french or british calendar parts couldn't, that is straight deep inside russian territory apparently, they just couldn't be bothered explicitly writing it in and now german politicians are spelling out why perhaps they showed us the top towns of legion boned this way opposite us with the german cruise me solves torres and russian territory on the compatible with basic law. no, with international law, these madness must be stopped immediately. when despair generals are said to have made an assessment that the crime in bridge could be attacked with the german taurus, missiles, the symbolic acts would drag germany deep into the war. notes of torres delivery. the league effectively underscore is an unexplained discrepancy between army brass and what they're saying. on one hand,

i'm what schultz has been saying publicly about not wanting in our school asian with russia over ukraine on the other. now the chancellor is demanding answers, is just not very clear what exactly he's demanding answers to us. that's not what is being reported. there is a very serious matter, and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly that is also necessary. what's the more upset about the fact that his own military was plodding against what he claims are as explicit wishes not to deploy terraces and even more explicitly contemplating a terrorist act against russia or the fact that everyone now knows about it. the bonus dog, special commissioner to the military, eva whole goal from schultz, his very own social democrat party sunset. the week itself is the real outrage and that it's the guys in charge of keeping military communications secure that need comprehensive training, not the high ranking german officers whose spitballing about blowing stuff up risk

getting germany into yet another world war. the events of the last few days once again to how a lot of them are poor doing is trying to have a mess of a negative influence or know, open society, especially in your money through these information to stay those station on display . a nice yeah. maybe after they finish looking into how put in for part of the we blew up his own gas supply to germany. then they can tackle the big mystery of how it puts in, hijacked the mines of german military officers for a plot to blow up his own bridge. my 1st reaction to that was total, discuss. they were just trying to turn the table around and the argument was, well, the, there was the scandal, it's not the content. it's not the facts. with high ranking offices have total disregard for an international conventions. have to go through this or even for security regulations. how and where they're shopped, discuss such things. if they do,

i know it's uh that the entire narrative. and the whole thing is, this, the scandal is the russians are apparently a recording such conversations this, this from, from that perspective as the scandal and the defense minister, his torrijos stated last night that's always with his offices, will not have any disciplinary measures. they will not be punished. maybe they will even be upgraded. uh, that's what i said, and that's there is so that the narrative has changed as no embarrassment. and so far we have not seen any embarrassment when it came from the drum inside or from the partition in all of these various steps of involvement. stable, i'm friendly. that's how india is. foreign policy chief has summed up relations with russia and made the backdrop of western pressure over the ukraine co. everyone conducts

a relationship based on past experiences. if i look at the history of pipes, the independence india, russia has never heard of our interest. we've always had a stable and very friendly relationship. and our relationship with moscow today is based on this experience. a well just to push that argument. india is expanding cooperation with russia, the spike western sanctions against moscow. u. s. and e. u officials have been calling for a cross done on indian and ports of russian commodities. my colleagues via taylor a sub done with the spokesperson for and the is really hardy to, in a, to a party to discuss how must go and new delhi are doing business in defiance of the west a, b, a. unless you appreciated his student and know, you know, face all kinds of lives and then videos, right? yeah, we did for a, i mean the for us yet the halls of sick to the starting from defense starting from

investment in hydro, bottoms, a start date, strong investment in voice starting the joy white from rush. yet, the important point in this is for a friend in the foreign policy. you may not rush she all the way and very important . please not be any pressure from our list in board. he does not see any certificates or the patients from the rest of the work regarding it's at a time with russia or any other kind of default that might to be able to continue to do engage with russia to explore those active all in the ohio column. off the cream of defense, which has to be got really for long, but i do a specific day. i want to ask you about a new dentist position. uh, these are the, the ukraine conflict. it's called president my chrome saying that would not ruling out sending west and troops to ukraine with harring taps of german officials talking about helping ukraine,

low up russian infrastructure. new jenny says we want this conflict to be resolved . do you see resolution coming before escalation at this point in time? is the trust of the global piece. the resolution of the conflict is a team of people is this is not the for any a nation. uh, it was all community, especially a country to hire people to do the via or other this is an add up to the fire to control the fire. so there's a big country which is a little steep border. this conflict of the wall to the device or the medicaid, so that both sides the d and b the use while a similar theme us pressure on the officials across africa has sparked afresh confrontation in zimbabwe. re house, expelled the controversial usaid agency from the country. after washington,

sanction the southern african nations top officials and it's not the only diplomatic conflict, the white house as fueling on the confident as ortiz and you look for you can get a report. the sanctions a once again, the whip of choice and full, same verbiage off you is foreign policy goals and some bob ways, the latest targets back in 2001. the u. s. move into an onslaught on how to operate through. it's so cold laws with the e u. jumping on the entities and public band rick and with its own draft, essentially the 2002, many events have taken place since been, but one issue that's amazing phones and bob was relations. what's the waste is the continued suffering of the country's population. as a result of wisdom, powers refusal to remove those music have slowed progress inhibited economists recovery and time is the poorest and most vulnerable in societies. equally astounding is wisdom. countries failure to come to terms with the reality that the land reform and resettlement program. the main reason for these sections will not

be reversed, have thoughts and repeatedly tried to reverse that. to started programs through political tools or confrontation with is involved with government. but those guess was to prove it futile. it cannot be right mister loading a healthy basis for conducting international relations or building friendship for a country. however, mightily it views itself to slam the innocent nationals of other nations, while also maligning those same nations for daring to be independent and silver. and i'm for reversing a baneful legacy of settler colonialism in line with the united nations tratta. the sanctions of slowing down our progress inhibiting economic recovery and punishing the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. for unit 2 of the above was a scene for my us president george bush, the i to take to off the sanctions and bark obama together with donald trump leave office. having failed to achieve regime change in this. and bob, we present by the support of the census has also been in vain. that says african

countries continue to raleigh behind. so bob was pushed for the lifting of what many c as in the legal economy, can bob go back? small man cannot negotiate with a big man. europe in countries have been putting sanctions on zimbabwe, which has been suffering for 20 years. you're gone to itself has suffered from wished to sanctions with the you is attempting to exert a political control over the country, accusing it of human rights abuses last year. washington, would you, you kind of prefer racial trade status, aiming to punish kampala for u. n. c. l g b to q knows that they defy and prison with severe need slamming. the move is justified defending the countries the 17th day is external pressure. it is unfortunate that the world bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into a band and in our face, culture, principles and sovereignty using money. they really under estimate all africans, we do not need pressure from anybody to know how to solve problems in our society.

they are our problems. i want to inform everybody starting with your guidance, that uganda will develop with or without loans. another country to be target to do the rich your long stigmatized as a regional spoiler by washington. it's section for supporting table bas groups. despite years of scrutiny by monitoring groups, using little evidence of those claims that it was excluded from the suff payment system. with the you is closing, the it comes off, if it's in to put magic missions and a number of states i'm causing typical to use for the impulse of expertise and made us into the country. this unilateral sanction that ships blame to and scape goat scare a trail on the basis of spurious allegations is in contravention of international law. and constitutes a flagrant breach of the sovereignty, independence and liberation of peoples and nations. that the primary aim of the elicit and immoral sanctions is to inculcate suffering and starvation on the

population. so as to induce political unrest and instability is patently clear. over the past decades, western states have made some inches, they go to diplomatic weapons, the united states and the ropes in union administer. hundreds of section programs targeting thousands of individuals, companies, and economy, except as in many countries, but have sanctions achieved the goals. despite the efforts, the targeted states retain suffering and independent domestic and foreign policy is building ties with the global solves and russia. you essentially have also cause the economy collateral damage, sedans, economy being severely impacted, even often. some of those sanctions were lifted and leaving many struggling in new jersey after that evidence appears to be clear. sanctions on the african continent failed to achieve the aims. and by that. ringback local livelihoods may have had the opposite effect. as those states behind the course of misses failed to begin

the leasing time and time is less caper focused on this story. my colleague, mike of culture a spoke with as in bob way, governments, international communications director who urged washington to concentrate on its own problems and stuff. natalie and african. a lot of do you have any of these things above which is a suitable americans like 12 inches through a little position, but that's the want. so that the, this the gains so far independent. so the washing tony should not, in the, the, in the affairs of the nations and they should respect the bulk of the window. the template as far as policy formulation is concerned, then the lender form problem is that particular, you know, benchmarking position, the whole saw a book to the consent of minds, the people that we go to a land and read, never giving back our lands on y'all's policies. no man's idea amount of sanctions

they impose on us not meant that the amount of restrictions they impose in or not. oh, willing to go see guidance including our president, not zimbabwe holds the title as the most sanctioned country in africa. now we understand the government had to ask washington not to impose the assumption that they would undermine the country. so how do you expect this functions to effect as in bob boy as a country? so uh, this functions of effect to the education sector, idea of afraid to die out sick time. i think that, you know, it's trends and the, the, the did, how can press start there, but i think that is manufactured. it's also a live do sunday, including the they did the banking system, but as in bob way is not for the good sense of what is in the context of school is a, you know, god does trophies that i created by the rest of the month, way is i suddenly said,

come by to ms as an informal for the mining sector. we have seen that to just been a very resilient and say that is actually been complimenting, you know, and painting site doesn't feel like you're going on to ensure that, you know, people get to the, as somebody's in time to ensure that the industry is alive. that and all these other things, so yes, wirelessly acknowledge that the sanctions at the end of the emerging district. but i should also flow to the government for these policies. visions that do been pro tough throughout the toners in the sector and culture to give into mining st. the end. you mentioned investment for prospects because and bob, which has been focused on, i'm guessing alternatives capital be under the big ones, it beat on what's these decisions. so some of these issues that have been put across by the government really. com is in the end to say comes in take measures to,

to, to the sanctions. they've done this of the design initiative to cause our people to die or spend 1000. and 2, i intend already meant that is. ready most people would not be going to school by today, but because it does actually didn't happen in the context of fuzzy but and it is a sunday visit to the world's apart studio is next on today. exam a us prominent us economist, thomas polly, is democracy being recognized a really engaging conversation against going in moments the,

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the,

the welcome to was a part of the populace singles. you can never get an alpha, what you don't have, but on thousands store people or whole nations from trying to get more balls and more than economy. and today's politics predicate its own goals and objectives that have little to do with a meaningful or balanced lives. quite the contrary, they often manufacture and dependence isn't conflict as a way of sustaining themselves can be changed on itself by home or to discuss it. i'm now joined by thomas paley and american economists. all set are several books, including plenty of nothing. and they found are all the economics for democratic and open societies project. mr. bailey, it's a great honor and great pleasure for me to talk to. thank you very much for your time. well, thank you very much for inviting me. i'm looking forward to this. now you're not only a prominent the economist, but also i think this, i'm extend an economic your story and, and what i really like about here, our approach is that the, your factor in a psychology culture, morality as

a way of explaining the phenomenon, behavior of people or nations and using these very comprehensive plans, i want to start by asking, where do you think the global economy is, finds itself at this very point i want on. so in terms of strong weak what i think i'd like to use of a school mazda, i'll give it a grade. i give it a c great. and of course, to understand the global economy, it consists as pieces. i'm so i, i don't think that that being is 3 pieces of significance right now. the 1st of course, is the united states as your up and then out of school, the rest of the world and in the united states were having a macro economic go see it and i'll stop marketing on cash and so on. but there's a lot of discontent on the ground and i would say to people that boom is very
