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, in nation for administer of look, know much to be in why that one e as the chinese for administer to a tech call and pigs that this to stop further things happened in the future. and if we talk about the relationship between trip car dot and b drink is 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, if this, that i see in the media 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 infrastructures relations that has been beneficial for both countries and how what president drop all we go to has done will also be continued jerry, and probable she'd be untrusted leadership in the future. all taken to be said called y'all said, i'll see you in countries do know st. confrontation of the region on like focus indonesia, do not like the fact that do not like to see a militarized australia. it's solved in border, the us strategy to militarize. this, 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. and i. c, o is a for on full off south seas ation nations. you know, you donasia is

a buried board member, and this is where the atl nation could make their voice heard, you know, like, they'd be preferred trade over a consultation right now. it is not china that's forcing people to take sides. china wants to trade with everybody. is united states. that's 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 countries like you know, any of these are the likes 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. many 1000000000 vote, this will go to the polls and a 6 week long parliamentary election with the 1st phase, starting on friday. and we're going to special coverage of the event the

to while waiting for posting stations to open. india has been celebrating the upcoming election with people saying don't think i'm marching industries. most useful tools that represent the system, the low. how's the target the look saba, the policy with the majority will form a government on the point. one of its winning candidates, as prime minister sees it rings and so on that has more on what to expect from the election. and the coverage is getting approved. when you talk about the nation, all the opinion bulls are pointing towards one direction that's in the range of all the. in fact he sees that his village of, of bossy b g b. we basically get loving 400 seats out of the 543 following 3 seats that are off for brabs that small than the for us. and the 2nd that's 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 in the was with the spice that the west impressed the kind of coverage that thing to the elections, a guessing defend itself, which the names and bodies 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 to almo, recall the election drive sees the india. now this finds any doubt we've been, the can see about the elections, not we see all fans. the western press continues to do what it does, the best, which is the folks and noah's in, in things they don't even understand very well. for example, in india, in elections and lots conducted by but it, it does boss, you go the government directions are conducted by an independent body folder election submission of india. an election division of india has in fact, been doing, conducting connections in the country for several years. in india,

in fact, has one of the most when, when we seem to reach to conduct elections, imagine 1400000000 people in the sun see an in depth and depth elections just fine . having said that, as doing this, we stop. would it actually doing this without quality? we yes, i can tell one thing that know when the degrees predictions to be made to the last world has counted, that of course is going to happen on the 4th overshoot. literally i spoke with the panel of indian experts about the upcoming elections and they said indian so can much about 4 and attempts to influence the voting process. and i focused on reinforcing the countries achievements of them both. those aren't quite done to the asterix and costing that was how did you compare it with western countries? the voting last in today's union guys, pretty high. and so that shows that the new people of the new cost,

but it won't send, you will make the choices at the, at the bottom. and fox renowned on that it's about, it's about smoking. so like 2014 machine, i'm being the largest democracy. the one is actually a huge to fix the cyber space, a lot of influence for change from the rest of the water that abroad you want to want to have somebody bring the election that has been going on for a long time. be aware of it. i mean, this could be in philadelphia and operations are open data games that are included in the media about india and then some sort of negative stories that sort of died. 2000 play the chief months of the federal government. these things are going to happen to the available this for me. i don't think his father's us much. it's really the photo own independent and the really mean the bottomless decision making that we have done over so many years. i'd like to ask you about the headlines that

we're seeing in the west and mainstream media are a balanced webs to democracy on voting bribes. why do we see such a narrative this uh, actually reminds me some of the years ago when china was idly and there was a lot of, we're back a place about john, i'm the list. so then he subsided, then the video in a ga dot old china. now, once again begins china. so typically what is happening in india, india, india has a democracy. there were sort of problems so far. so i'm going to go to the us. we had a question the, the weekend, but people either one of the visiting the, the government. so, you know, a week ago and these are the decision making so hard and game very distraught and started making decisions that he started making bought or not just really tough

because the whole, the wind policy is uh, electronic do not use the pain of the body it is all of 99 percent of the glass. so ill, we, uh, if we have insure, uh, the listings it is now the question of stabilizing this process will be the, the election stop that will, you know, we just go to then well, just stay with us throughout this week on the coming months, as we bring to you all a special coverage of india's parliamentary elections that will run through june and it starts this friday, april the 19th. the oh, so what the news now in the latest the tenants who get the cons were best so far an

age package policy us little make us have decided to break it all down into several separate bills, including a $60000000000.00 for ukraine. house speaker mike johnson has vowed to support the bill despite his previous tough stones. again, stephen, considering it what i'm doing here, what i believed to be the right thing. i think for providing legal aid, do you agree? and 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, until the american people border border border, we need a clarity on what we're doing in ukraine and how will have proper oversight of the spending of precious taxpayer dollars and american citizens, the republican warehouse will not be jammed or forced into passing or for an 8 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 love to americans. many are looking at johnson, the current speaker of the house, who is

a republican and smelling a bit of hip hop prosy. 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 gabble along with the majority of republicans. no one understands why it is now your top priority to give you credit $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 comes missiles, as well as $61000000000.00. however, it's not simply a guess. it will 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 this $61000000000.00. the important to note the 61000000000 dollars, but not all just be directly given to you grain. 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 president joe biden, who seems to be getting a little desperate in 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 force as we move closer than ever terminate the allies dismissed the boot and they say you need to ally, we will come to its aid as our and these are allies did for us for the september 11th attacks, we should search the boards the green now just missed a booting from encroaching? no, no naser allies and show that he doesn't throw us to scenes of future war in europe . now the russian president has made abundantly clear he has no intention of invading nato members or european union countries, but that has not stopped by the un and nato leaders from making this claim over and over again. been trying to justify their pro long of the conflict and 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 it's government policies. this new mobilization ukraine is certainly not popular now, 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. this is certainly a new development in the congressional battles surrounding us involvement in the ukraine in conflict and the supplier of the american taxpayer money to the government and american political analysts pushed about how long layoff it is his view on the way the device is bill is being used by power play is in washington. and of course the timing is amazing at a given the fact that it whether bite in wins or loses, it will still be able to make the executive decision to wipe out the debt. and then either way, he'll point, 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 data is very, very humorous for us to recognize that given the fact that now binding is losing so badly in the poles and that his approval rating as to that they realize that even if he can't last until, you know, uh, another time at least give him a november 15th or so the right off the that 50 percent of the debt for kids choose ukraine, not today. so that's the message from the blog. so that changed it yet in stilton buckaroo says that sending a to kids to take priority of nato's own capability targets, including limited expense of american patriot defense systems. i'm also encouraged by invocation stuff to us. congress may take up

a further age to train in the coming days, but to crane needs even more. that is why if allies face a choice between meeting, they don't compete to 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 buttress. and that's exactly what do i work in. that's so, despite the weakening of nato is potential in favor of backing ts dolton both have supportive joy biden's claims that russia was stuff with ukraine pointing that the lines should stay ready for a possible conflict with most scope. when we us, maureen cool, intelligence offers a score where so say, so this russia posting will change it to native felines would prioritize developing

its own defense systems and it's not helping ukraine. first and foremost, we have to understand that by doing this young story for 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 4. so young stuart berg and indeed all other western officials who talk about the need to ship a weapon read to you create. so nato has made a decision that ukraine is decisive points that in ukraine right now is the opportunity to inflict harm, to inflict damage, which be frank,

to kill russians. installed. virg is a non military politician who's making political statements that haven't been cleared with the constituent members of nato. well, each nato member has their own domestic political realities they have to deal with, in which in many cases these realities do not allow them to transfer weapons. do you crate is freely, is he on stonebridge? would like you to the russia is poised to outpace europe. as the us in economic growth, racing ahead of the west and, and solace economies in 2024. as off to be our last increase, the countries grows full costs. so we have revised russia as judy be now a growth in for 2024. by 0.6, percentage point 23.2 percent. so this is a significant port revision. the numbers are all quite astounded. beyond that,

which let's be honest, right to there's no friends to russia. it has a restaurant that growing at 3.2 percent. and as opposed to west and god was like the u. k. no point 5 percent frogs, no point service and germany allegedly new it's power. how's economy? i mean or point 2 percent. maybe 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 add study or will exploit the half of the slide down. biden's idea to put in quite crushed. russia is not happens or less cold, so i'll put a, a little time high, really strong investment from the corporate sector. strong buying power here from russian consume is actually going out and buying things. and, 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 and rush it like, we know this is reality. but the west, it seems like they're finally having to admit, how were things across the atlantic is that use big brother bearing the same

economic burden stuff? absolutely not that i thing, right. so we saw the inflation reduction. i cycled policy. if the bye didn't ministration is 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 kit from, from administering farms, talking exactly about this. it could be the am f, has just released it's new forecasts. and 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 heat, much harder than any other continent by the water in ukraine and by the search and gas and oil prices. but also because there's a lot 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 fragile or for year if it seems that they kind of been left the flounder time to make these high uh, oil and gas prices due to the conflict in ukraine. the us doesn't need to worry about that. the us has oil and gas and it seems like the out in its own country. i

never to. it's a geographical location. so it's weston, count, deposit, 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 line that they offer to continue slow down. and is that still russia at $2.00, the same price? if you look at the other numbers that really catastrophic that the for that for the west and council pos that we're looking at here. the founder of the friends in sydney's french political policy on the full not presidential hopeful is on mcmillan. sean has lost out a little university for cancelling a conference on palestine under the pretext of escalating tensions between a wrong and is well he raised concerns over the suppression of the freedom of speech and accused has the administration of instrumental lives in the event favoring netanyahu's government, as some of the case took place in brussels, where authorities attempted to forcibly close a conference of right wing representative to move it was branded on democratic and

unconstitutional. if i told you officials the attendees of the conference, say the attack on free speech is deplorable. but no, it's a new trend. i noticed a part of the conservative parties are modul fell out of a supporter of breakfast, support a free streets, 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 on this. and that's basically the only thing that happens here as well as the correspondence ought to do. but as he has a day's house on the clock down on the conservative conference and the context surrounding the new of both celebrating off the a, quote over turn, the final net brussels 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 part dictatorship. they're trying to use a technical reason to make it political points. they told the owner that if it doesn't get shut down, they're going to cut the electricity, metro and we're just politicians. no, i till fires was on 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 by have even been speaking to the case service. so the food hasn't arrived. the place haven't arrived once the whole, the drinks haven't arrived. sorrows wasn't the only big name

in town. there was also the hung gary and prime minister victor open, who is due to speak. so too was the former u. k. home secretary. so while a brave woman, the bonding 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 rich, today's unacceptable municipal autonomy is the cornerstone the fall democracy, but can never, over, over belgium constitution 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 buy new is spreading of the less high profile incidence attract significantly less controversy. take approved paula

sydney meeting. that was due to be held in berlin a few days ago. where was the outrage from western politicians when the police were called to shut it down? oh yes, they was intending billing police to turn the power off at the very new said, one of the speak is appearing by a video link event was prohibited from doing so. a speaker was projected who was subject to a band and 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, because the depaula, like we would transmit in violence, so much less between greek falling on the smoothness. the youngest bar of focus was

due to speak about 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 his damian's and the rest of us wanted to have a congress during which to discuss these reconciliation, good existence, universe of human rights, from the golden rule, or do they make it that any n c. german police proved to be young reasonable doubt by bursting in and interrupting the live stream. grabbing the microphone ending that magnificent congress that flashes me does not need to be in government in order to be in power and wireless. easy to say that these are isolated incidents. that's just not the case. because bonding all ideas or controlling the narrative is something the you has the history you doing. so if a guy they find all

t from broad costing that and even from within nations is concerned that brussels loves to use a bit of political blackmail to get everyone singing from the same song sheet. it's clear that alternative voices on welcome. and that unless we will march to the same drum beats, you too could find yourself on the wrong side of the ministry of truth that says you've had a bit too much to think a finality warning has been issued in indonesia and i have a fit, sorry we're going to change to a different story. now, apologies. we're going to go to china now where the president gigi and paying his

proposed full principles for regulating the conflicts in ukraine and restoring peace as soon as possible. his proposals were made of the meeting with german chancellor last shots during tons the tops of this 1st visit to the aging since berlin adult to the following strategy. upon which we criticism from the asian power. first, we should prioritize the upholding of peace and stability and refrain from seeking selfish gains. second, we should cool down the situation and not add fuel to the fire. 3rd, we need to create conditions for the restoration of peace and refrain from further exacerbating tensions forth. we should reduce the negative impact on the world economy and refrain from undermining the stability of global industrial and supply chains. if you have been john, so those visits came despite several names by germany's western partners to cub the countries trade with paging. while the us is probing national security risk switch, it came to post by china, malia on mondays.
