it still says, but yes, the as western states seek to projected their power across southeast asia in the pacific states remain committed to peace and stability in the regions, such as they things foreign minister visits to card as part of a multi state tour. as indians take to the pools western media try to overshadow the process by casting doubt on the countries. democracy. feelings became from all the rest of the water that a broad shoulders us actually really bought on independent time the really the most decisions that we have top over. so let me know

donations only loans us lawmakers consider a $60000000000.00 bill for ukraine abandoning unconditional aid. and reserving one 3rd of the sub for us manufacturers interested, isn't grove surpassed as the western countries that pleasure slave moscow's economy in scatters, but are now left friendly. as, according to the international monetary funds, the ritual rouble live in moscow. this is our t international. western states seek to protect their power and politics in the endo pacific. well, china and indonesia both reiterate their commitment to peace and the stability that's comes as aging stopped up in that business. jakarta, on a multi state tour of the region. the biggest of the indonesian b r. c. comprehensive strategic partnership will continue to be nurtured in the

u. s. all our last year bought the biological discussion not only focused on economy field, but also on tackling and preventing b cross border crimes, especially online scans, because it will look at previous cheeses. many nations have fallen into this traps and became the victim of the so called online scans. therefore, a nation for administer, look know, might still be in why that one e, as the chinese for administer to a tech call and be exempt. this to stop further, things happened in the future. and if we talk about the relationship between jakarta and b drink, it's also important to highlight that the vision president elect softball was to be on both disappear. be june earlier of april this year, march, this is the 1st the country that he fisted as the image and president elect.

this of course, shows the importance relations between the 2 countries where both countries highlighted the importance and also all the economy and also in fresh structures, relations that has been beneficial for both countries and how what president trouble we go to has done will also be continued jerry probable, see beyond trust leadership in the future are to contributor carl jobs says us young countries do not see confrontation in the region. unlike august, indonesia, do not like the fact that i do not like to see a militarized australia. it's solved in border, the us strategy to militarize does the south china sea is to claim that us is here to preserve state ability is because the country in the region wants us to extend the security blanket of y n i. c, o is a for uncle, southeast asian nations of,

you know, you know, nature is a buried board member. and this is where the ac a nation could make their voice heard, you know, like they, they preferred trade over consultation right now is not china that's forcing people to take sides. china wants to trade with everybody. is united states asking people to pick between china and us. it's either your way or the highway you are using with us or against us. that's. that's not the position that the country is letting you know any of these are the like to pick people who are preferred to be friends of an enemy of not less than 24 hours. india will begin the largest exercise of democracy in the world. nearly 1000000 voters will go to the polls and a 6 week long parliamentary election. but the 1st phase, starting on friday, we're bringing new special coverage of the event. the

while waiting for polling stations to open, india has been celebrating the upcoming election with people seem dancing and marching in the streets. voters will choose a representative as in the lower house of parliament and loves the boss. the party with the majority will form was ever mentioned to point one of its winning candidates, as a prime minister are these ones and trauma has more on what to expect from the election. and the coverage is getting abroad. when you talk about the mood of the nation, all no opinion bulls are pointing to was one direction that's in the range of all the. in fact, he sees that his village of, of bossy bgp will basically get loving $400.00 seats out of the $543.00 fall level and receipts that are off for brabs that small than the for us. and the 2nd that know, ring the more the had that basically if and when you look, if not in the more these approved or waiting is the highest and the wall that makes

them the most popular lead. and that was with, despite that the western press, the kind of coverage that they did elections a guessing defend itself were interested in learning more. these get guessing to give you an example with democracy on the thread in the range of all these india hall, free on said will. this is election. b dash drugs food, almo recalled, election drive, sees the india. now this finds any doubt within the can see about the election is not we see or fan. the western press continues to do what and does the best, which is the book then o as in, in things they don't even understand very well. for example, in india, in elections and lots conducted by ability, a good boss, you have a document. the directions are conducted by an independent body. follow the election commission of india and elections of should have been death has inside been doing, conducting elections in the country for several years in india,

in fact has one of the most well oil machinery is to conduct elections and a 101400000000 people in this country and india then that's elections just fine. having said that, as doing this, who's got would election of doing this with god, politics? we yes, i can tell one thing that nope, with a degree predictions should be made to the last or has counted. that of course is going to happen on the full overshoot. earlier my colleague nikki aaron spoke with a panel of indian experts about the upcoming elections. they said indians don't care much about foreign attempts to influence the voting process and are focused on reinforcing the countries achievements in dealing with both of them. by dental's, he asked him costing that was how did you compare it with western countries? the voting less than 2 is union guys pretty high. and so that shows that the new

people of the new cost that wants and you'll make the choices at the, at the bottom of the box right now. and on the bottom of the box. but it's uh, electronic voting machines. i'm being the largest democracy in the world. this isn't actually a huge and gone to fix the sides based on arlene, to inspection from the rest of the waters and abroad. who want to want to have somebody bring the election that has been going on for a long time? be aware of it. i mean, there's going to be intelligence letting operations are open data games that are included in the media about india and then some sort of negative stories that sort of died down, play the a cheap months of the kind of government. these things have been happening and we are fully available from i don't think his father's us much. it's really photo own independent and really in the bottomless decision making that'd be done over so

many years. i'd like to ask you about the headlines that we're seeing in the west and mainstream media or a balance threats to democracy on voting bribes. why do we see such a narrative this? uh, actually the lines needs, um, uh, i think the audio singles thing china was riley, and there was a lot of very bad plays about john, i'm the list, the a, danny subsided, then the listen media awaited a god old china now that it wants to be against china. so typically what is happening in india, india, india, the demo busy. there were sort of problems so far. so i'm going to go to us. we had, we shouldn't governments, that'd be liberty week, particularly the one the government. so, you know, a week ago and the, the, the decision maybe so harder than game maybe just strong, started making decisions,

started making, bought or not just really the base of the wind of the electronic do not use the campaign of the bodies of 99 percent on the development of glass. so, you know, we all, we have this and your, uh, the listings. it is now the question of stabilizing this process. well, that's a very happy the these, the house is the election stop that will, you know, we just go to them or they stay with our teeth right this week and in the coming months as we bring you special coverage of india is parliamentary elections that were run through june starting friday, april 19th. the in the latest attempt to get the controversial for an aide package past us.

lawmakers have decided to break it all down into several separate bills, including a $16000000000.00 deal for ukraine. house speaker mike johnson has vowed the support the bill despite his previous tough stance against even considering it what i'm doing here. what i believed to be the right thing. i think for providing legal aid, do you agree in right now is critically important before we even talk about ukraine? i'm going to tell the president when i'm telling all of you, and we've told the american people border border border, we need a clarity on what we're doing, a new crank, and how will have proper oversight of the spending a precious taxpayer dollars and american citizens. the republican warehouse will not be jammed or forced into passing or for an aid bill that was opposed by most republican senators and does nothing to secure our own board. it is time for washington to start showing some loved to americans. many are looking at johnson, the current speaker of the house, who is a republican and smelling a bit of hypocrisy. he's previously opposed giving a do ukraine,

but he appears to be supporting the current bill and the current proposal. so many are looking on with a bit of frustration. marjorie taylor green, and some of the mog or republicans are not with him on this. you. speaker johnson voted against $300000000.00 for ukraine before we gave you the get along with the majority of republicans. no one understands why it is now. your top priority to give you crime $60000000000.00 more dollars. you're seriously out of step with republicans by continuing to pass bills, dependent on democrats. everyone sees through this well after months of the house of representatives, delaying and debating the nature of upcoming aid from the united states to ukraine . we now have a new set of bills that have been put forward in the lower house of the us congress . now they have divided funding for ukraine funding for israel and funding for the government on taiwan from each other into 3 separate bills. the bill for ukraine

provides ukraine with attack them's missiles, as well as $61000000000.00. however, it's not simply a guess, it'll be a loan which ukraine will be required to reimburse the united states for the president of the united states will be authorized under the bill to negotiate the terms of ukraine reimbursing the united states for the 61000000000 dollars important to note the 61000000000 dollars, but not all just be directly given to you. crane a 3rd of it will be given to us weapons manufacturers. and the president will have the authority to wave or disavow or make clear, and no longer have to be paid up to 50 percent present. joe biden, who seems to be getting a little yes. brittany, his rhetoric saying that this $61000000000.00 is necessary because without it, russia will be then storming into europe and invading european union countries. for

us it's, i'm smith's, the boot is false as we move closer than ever terminate to allies. if missed the boot and they say you need to ally, we will comes it's aid as are and these are allies, the for us, for the september 11th attacks, we should search the boards, the green now just missed a booty and from encroaching. no, no naser allies and, and show that he doesn't draw us to scenes of future war in europe. now, the russian president has made abundantly clear he has no intention of inciting nato members or european union countries, but that has not stopped. my den and nato leaders from making this claim over and over again when trying to justify their pro long of the conflict in ukraine. now at this point, people are looking at the new mobilization law in ukraine and wondering if the fact that this will be a debt that ukraine has to pay, it'll be a loan. and the terms of the loans re payment will be negotiated by the president.

people wonder if that is already being leverage to control ukraine and its government policies. this new mobilization ukraine is certainly not popular and it's certainly unpleasant for many men in the country. so voting on this bill in the house of representatives is expected to take place on saturday. there's a certainly a new development in the congressional battles surrounding us involvement in the ukrainian conflict and the supplier of the american taxpayer money to the government. and the american political analyst, christopher halle offered us his view on the way the divisive bill. busy is being used by power players in washington. and of course the timing is amazing at a given the fact that it, whether bite in wins or loses, you'll still be able to make the executive decision to wipe out the debt. and then either way, he'll put uh, you know, if president jeff or president trump is re elected, you'll put a to bind on him to enforce the other 50 percent and ensure that the united states

is paid back. you have to imagine that there are a lot of machinations going on behind the scenes to ensure that you have get this money and the cube doesn't have to pay. and so of course, that date is very, very humorous for us to recognize that given the fact that now binding is losing so badly in the bowls and that his approval rating as to that they realize that even if he kept less until, you know, uh, another time at least give him a november 15th or so. the write up that, that 50 percent of the debt for can choose ukraine, not nato. that's the message from the blogs. the chief in stoughton burger says, sending a dekalb should take priority over nato's own capability targets, including limited, expensive american patriot air defense systems. i'm also encouraged by invitation stuff to us. congress may take up a further aid to train in the coming days, but the crane needs even more. that is why if allies face

a choice between meeting and they don't care printed targets and providing more aid to ukraine, my message is clear. send more to ukraine. we have a systems available that is a, is a big enough to enable us to deliver significantly more to ukraine when it comes to air defense in general. and also when it comes to a picture of the mattress, and that's exactly what you i work in a. so let's find a weakening of nato's potential unsafe or a vacuum. t of certain bird has supported joe biden. claims that russell won't stop at you. crane warning that the lions should stay ready for a possible conflict with moscow. former us marine corps intelligence officers, got river says that for i suppose the real danger tomato, the alliance would prioritize developing its own defense systems. not helping you frame. first and foremost, we have to understand that by doing this young story very exposure as the lives of

his own statements that portray rushes. a threat to europe as a rush is a threat to nato. if fresh was truly a threat to nato, then no natal nation would talk about giving up it's critical national security infrastructure, especially air defense for which there was a great shortage at this present time. so it points out that there's, there's a lot of hypocrisy in um, in the, in the, in the stance taken by a young storm berg and indeed, all other western officials who talk about the need to, uh, ship, a weapon. read to you create the nato, has made a decision that ukraine is decisive point to that at in ukraine. right now is the opportunity to inflict harm, to inflict damage. but to be frank, to kill russians. y'all installed berg is a non military politician who's making political statements that

haven't been cleared with the constituent members of nato. well, each natal member has their own domestic political realities they have to deal with . and in many cases, these realities do not allow them to transfer weapons. do you crate as freely, is he on stolberg would like the russia is boys to outpace europe and the us and economic growth. racing ahead of all other western advanced economies in 2024. as after the i, m f increased to the countries of growth and forecast. so we have revised russia as gdc number gross in for 2024 by 0.6 percentage point 23.2 percent. so this is a significant upward revision. the numbers are all quite astounded beyond that, which let's be honest right to, there's no friends to russia. it has the restaurant that grabbing at 3.2 percent. and as opposed to western cars like the u. k. no point 5 percent frogs,

no point service, and germany allegedly, europe's power. how's economy? i mean, no point 2 percent. they really bring out the number of factors as to why this is happening. and which we, we see here living in russia, which many people outside may not have study or will exploit the half of the slide down. biden's idea to put in quite crushed. russia is not happens oil less bolt. so i'll put a, a double time high, really strong investment from the corporate sector. strong buying power here from russian consume is actually going out and buying things. um and then of course the russian government hasn't slowed down its spending commitments is just increased the. yeah, it's true, i did have a good laugh when i read this report because as you said, for anyone who lives in moscow or in rush or like, we know this is reality. but the west, it seems like they're finally having to admit, how are things across the atlantic is to use big brother bearing the same economic burdens of absolutely not that i thing, right. so we saw the inflation reduction act, the size group policy. if the bye didn't administration it, i was trying to forcibly move western european businesses to the us and it's had

a catastrophic effect. i mean, let's have a listen to a clip from, from administering farms talking exactly about this are due to the am f has just released it's new forecast in what is striking is that your level of growth is persistently lower than that of the united states. why is that? because it has been keep much harder than any other content in by the war in ukraine. so you can buy the search and gas and why the price for them. but also because there's a lack of productivity in europe. so as we can see from, from that to it, right. so it's just not looking good for, for the french all of the year. if it seems that they kind of elect the flounder and dinning these high uh, oil and gas prices due to the conflict and ukraine, the, the us doesn't need to worry about that. the us has oil and gas in it seemed like y'all in its own country. i never it's, it's a geographical location, so it's west and kinds of parts and it looks like they really struggling now. interesting. well, what are the projections for next year? well, the growth remains study. yeah, it's a really great question, rachel,

looking at the numbers. he has it coming directly from the i m. s. they all protecting is slowed down. but still russia at 2.6 percent price. and if you look at the other numbers that really catastrophic for the, for that, for the west and counts of pots that we're looking at here. financial expert and also mark free direct says globally economic forecasts for germany stem from the government's failure to prioritize national interests over the j a political agenda, an escaped man. is it clear? are several reasons for this. of course the energy transition that has failed. we have very expensive electricity, we are no longer competitive. and of course, we see a lot of uncertainty among companies. energy intensive companies in particular, are suffering at the same time, the high se the interest rates mean that more and more companies are facing difficulties. we have record levels of corporate in solving sees and of course, geo political tension around the world. we still see record levels of debt and a relatively high price of electricity, which is not competitive. and we see that companies from germany,

such as the hell from bible and are producing goods in switzerland and switzerland as a country with high prices and high wages. so if even switzerland is now cheaper than, for example, germany, this should be a worrying sign that germany is no longer competitive. we see that germany is the only country from the big 7 that is in recession and right at the bottom. and therefore, i do not harbor such hopes, like misses the guard and have a more realistic outlook. i think this is why the decline will continue as long as we have the wrong government. and of course, the wrong central bank policy every day, every month, every year, when the government makes wrong historical decisions, we will move into a dubious future as for the energy issue, the collateral damage will be all the more significant for germany. russia does not depend on fossil fuels because it can buy large amounts of raw materials, metals and energy itself, organize them and organize them cheaply,

and this certainly makes russia resilient. our government brings us immense prosperity because id, ology is a priority for us over common sense. what other country closes, operating save nuclear power plants. what other country is engaged in an indirect war with its most important raw material partner, which is on the same content. the top e u officials have criticized brussels authorities further attempt to for simply close the conference of representatives of right wing forces with a police crank them. the move is branded undemocratic, and unconstitutional. the attendees of the conference they, they talk on free speech is deplorable. but not a new trend. you know, the support of the conservative parties are module fell out of a supporter of breakfast, but i'm in support, a free speech and i think it was deplorable. effectively done a local conference or political conference. unfortunately, we in belgium, we are,

uh, you know, we've seen some things like this in the past as well. you know, it's very unfortunate to because it's just the conference people speak and listen. that's basically, the only thing that happens here are take correspondence. charlotte davinsky is the details on the crack down on the conservative conference and the context surrounding its conservative voices in your boss celebrating off the quote over turn. the final net russell's conference seems a few local mess decided that they should have more power than the belgian constitution. sending the police to close the meeting down that riled up organizes. it's really something out of a 10 pond dictatorship. they're trying to use a technical reason to make it political point. they told the owner that if it doesn't get shut down, they're going to cut the electricity by to on board this politician know until fires was all stage when the police were at the door. now he tried to make

light of the situation, the police a big in colorado to come in and shut down this conference. they have even been speaking to the k service. so the food hasn't arrived. the place haven't arrived, as well as the whole. the drinks have when they arrive. sorrows wasn't the only big name in town. there was also the hon gary and prime minister victor open, who was due to speak. so too was the form of u. k. home secretary. so while a brave woman, the finding of a conference with such big names made a big splash, belgium's own prime minister was moved to find his country's constitution was held by the local legs in such little regard. what happens at the cloud, which today is unacceptable? municipal autonomy is the cornerstone the fault democracy,

but can never over over belts and constitutional guarantee, the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. since 1830 banning political meetings is unconstitutional. full, stop a victory for free speech die perhaps. but this creep of, if we don't like what you say or think we will find you is spreading of the less high profile incidence attract significantly less controversy. take a pro palestinian meeting that was due to be held in berlin a few days ago. where was the wage from western politicians when the police were called to shut it down? oh yes, they was intending building police to turn the power of the venue. so one of the speakers appearing by video link event was prohibited from doing so. a speaker was projected who was subject to a ban on political activity. there is a risk that a speaker will be repeatedly shown by a video in the past made and submitted remarks and glorified violence. for this

reason, the gathering was ended in bond on saturday and sunday as well. ok to this had a different take. the police violence, like we was some sort of criminals was unbearable for democratic country. they not only stormed the stage, the depaula like we were transmitting violence, so much less between greek falling on the smoothness. the youngest bar of focus was due to speak at that meeting. he didn't even make it into germany also being followed by the countries interior, minnesota because the german police had gone by the whole of the political system of the federal republic of germany, boasting and prevented jews by the stadiums. and the rest of us who wanted to have a congress during which to discuss these a conservation, quick existence universe of human rights from the jordan river to they meant to put any and c, german police prove to be young,

reasonable doubt by bursting in and interrupting the live stream grabbing the microphone ending that's magnificent congress, that fascism does not need to be in government in order to be in power. while it's easy to say that these are isolated incidents, that's just not the case because bonding all ideas or controlling the narrative is something that you has a history you doing. don't forget, they find all to you from broad costing that. and even from within nations is concerned that brussels loves to use a bit of political blackmail that everyone singing from the same song sheet. ready it's clear.
