it was a georgian for an agent to spill practically mirror is the us, lo and like the american version, the georgia proposals require n g o exams. media outlets to register if they receive income from abroad facing penalties for infringements. now, despite the obvious similarities to bases, bill is a lie to low with declarations required less frequently and there's no jail time is punishment. earlier this week, a raleigh supporting the bill was held in the capital where leading figures in the george and politics explain that without this to the west when we use the country and strip it of itself into. so you're going to be spending a little bit to game or time, or there have been several political minority protest actions in recent weeks. those rallies in our meetings today differ in one main principle. those rallies were held in a spirit of slavery. those rallies were held under the slogan, we will become a member of the european union at the expense of sovereignty,

independence, and traditional values. these people did not understand one thing. if the plague i e radical opposition, n g o's and their patrons take away sovereignty, independence and values. then in this case, both the european union and the entire country will be left behind. for them, the west, georgia and ukraine, or like cannon fodder. they pushed georgia against russia back in 2008, and in 20142022. they put ukraine in an even worse situation. the main reason for the aggression of the global war party against georgia is that despite great efforts, they failed to turn it into a 2nd front which could have been achieved if their agency had been in the george and government. let's had to africa now with the floods play. you can 10 year the country of can you all getting more intense with the rain showing no sign of slowing down in the coming weeks. there are 2 major how you do electric

stems in the country. and now at risk of the flowing pumping the authorities to enhance urgent evacuations. let's take a closer look at the dissolved the in the eastern african nation. the so we need to come across our design. i will come up at 3 and to help rescue people . i have made 5 trips and the police van carrying bodies of victims and the last trip to come bodies of 4 children, 2 women, and one man. to do my duty. water came gushing down from up there and has swept away people's talk. families have most bads and most of their property cars to stop down streams. so we would appreciate any help we can get the

the tunnel began getting blocked on wednesday and the local governments knew about it. so i said the government was negligent because if they acted fast, they could unblock the tunnel, and all those deaths would not have happened as a victim who was lost relatives and seeing children swept away by water. i strongly believe, negligence. why some people cost us dearly the we're asking a we can in such areas to see because the full cost is that really is going to continue and the likelihood of flooding and people losing lights

easily. and therefore we must take pre emptive action. the doctor needs for this, i will be back again in around 13 minutes with more the i'd like to start off and jumping straight in with india's place in the well right now. now given into your car, into, into your political wise that we're seeing what do you expect from the country and the upcoming? yes. what does that mean? there's been a force to reckon with for some time now the economy has put india in

a very healthy place. over the last generation going back to the liberalization of 1991. and since that india has been a steady, whereas seen a steady group pass on, irrespective of who's been in part. and we've seen that continuing over 3 decades now. and as a result in this is see not just as an emerging paul, but as a paul that in many ways as a much, it's already the was 3rd largest economy in purchasing power parity terms is likely to become the world's. busy largest and actual real dollar terms within the next 2 . yeah, so this is a country that's on the right track by and large economically. and as a result, given to just have to in the world, it's the most populous country in the world, even more populous in china today it's, it's likely that countries on all sides of the jo politically divide, we're taking this seriously. that i think is a given, whoever wins these alexis. having said that,

it's also important that in depths of plays a constructive and responsible role in the world community right now. and that has been careful to maintain relationships on both sides of every device and discussion . ukraine, israel and the palestinians with the americans and the chinese and so on. but there are some inescapable challenges in india. con, denied as a very tense border with china. it continues to have on dissolved difficulties of boxes. some of these are some of the, put a new problems of indian foreign policy, and they remain still sadly unresolved on those would have to be checked on the go to stage. finally, i'd say that the fact that in the such an influential sets on everything from cyberspace to august space makes it potentially a huge, really significant considered as a global governance. and that too makes india a false direct and which on the one state. and dave, thank you, and that's a lot less plus the overview on the way india, russian relationship relations between the 2 have been developing so far. how

important do you think this partnership is for india, which is usually important about the shipping has been for a very long time in the when i busted visit mid to the, the, the soviet union and the old days and russia they're off to, has been amongst and is a most reliable constant instead, foster friends in recent years and has been diversifying its sources of military equipment, which were heavily reliant on russia for many decades as recently as about 10 years ago. oh, i would say there's a more of them that maybe about 15 years ago. russia, accountants, 85 percent of all of them does defense inputs. today that's gone down to more like 40 percent. i would say the of course of a lot of spare parts and so on for what presented are important to continue to come in as well as india, as diversified it's sources. but despite the, as i think the friendship remains very significant, we have thought for

a long time, enjoyed, uh, chevy say uh, close a mutual understanding on a number of issues. we have called for peace in view create and conflict time, but india remains a voice for peace and most noble conflicts. so i would, i would probably leave it at that at this point of defense is a major preoccupation of joe gilbert. your politics remains effect ups, but there are no major issues, dividing us. and as you know of recent uh, in recent years, it has become of a major consumer of russian oil and gas products. and, and this has also been a very important occurred for russia at the time of international sections. so there's some, uh, chevy se, mutual a win win on both countries. bob and i wasn't, stuff weren't there when it comes to dealing with the west, especially when it has this relationship with russia. well, the western countries have shown some understanding. i would say that india has its own foreign policy and is not,

has always been historically allergic to fitting into any particular blog, a or a line specially in the likes to have partners rather than allies. and that's again being the case. going back to the days of the non aligned movement on the funding, there are lots as prime minister. and this continued, even in the very different government, a prime minister movies in the sense that he has, he has stayed friendly to a rough shots even while being somewhere closer to the west. then previous indeed in governments may have been the most important feed shuts off in disposition on the russia, ukraine conflict as these in just kept its lines of communication open to both sides of for foreign minister love. rob has been to india a couple of times in the last year. he has the internal cause of willing to listen to what he has to say. and i think that's something that's valuable to to the russians. as far as india is concerned, india relishes being able to talk from

a position of mutual respect with both sides with both the russians and the western countries, and indeed with you. great. so i would leave it the support you say that you say in this future, a staying friends with all countries with everybody across the board. i'm just wondering where are the red lines for india because we've been covering this story recently about canada and also a support. so 6 that for to do think this will play a large role in new delhi dealings with the west. the way certainly playing an upsize road in our relations with canada. it hasn't yet affected our relations. any other wisdom country. because things haven't gone quite as far as they haven't canada, where the government has seen by many new delhi as being complicit in. encouraging a movement based in canada that are openly lovingly secessionist an extremist in that dialogue, but had been directly associated with acts of murder and mayhem in india,

including the bombing of an ad in the jet line in 1985 that took nearly 400 lives so it's not just the questions of focusing inflammatory rhetoric, which is the way the canadians prefer to see it for us uh the, the, the extremist elements in canada have cost indian lives. and therefore, we have not been particularly sympathetic to canada as indulgent. solve those elements on this or in the future of india. it does indeed look very bright, however, synonymous still continues. a catholic wise indeed is a developing country, while others see it as a highly developed nation though. and then a long state of decline. decay as you want to set yourself. what did you mean by that? it's a depiction of india. i mean that point of view goes back to the late 19 eighties. i would say that the cat has since been considerably repeated. and anyone visiting

india today would be impressed by the, the widespread use us off of computers and digital technology. and even your, your, because as t sellers with their carts on the screen will have a q r code on display. so you can pay them by mobile. okay. it's a country rushing impatiently to the 21st century. so what do you think some of the less they'll continue to call into a developing country where this is you see, because the fact is that in this has people living in conditions still of acute poverty and despair efforts are being made, of course to pull them out to which i think both the present government and the speed assessments have claimed some success in actually pulling large numbers of indians out of poverty. but there's still a lot of people who live bad either side of the funeral path until every indian has, has the guaranteed assurance of decent lives and 3 square meals

a day and roof over their heads as well as access to decent health care and the prospect of meaningful work. it's difficult to just life for the claim. we have to develop country. even prime minister, mr. moseley, who is not particularly known for tim briggs is rhetoric, has set the go all into becoming a developed countries 420-4700 the bus rich about independence. and that's 223 as a way. so i think even she didn't, prime minister will accept that. it's too early to call us to develop the country. we've got to wait to 7 to get someone out here, especially vocal about how portez colonial rule that affected india. would you say that that effect is still ongoing? i'd love to know. to what extent do think the colonial rule handed, the developments of india? what it every conceivable respect. but it's a bit it's it's, i think it's a bit lame today. 75 years makes sense. to blame is, i wrote a work of history i bought about today. i think we have to take responsibility for our own problems. the british took one of the richest economies in the world,

one of the most prosperous countries in the world and system as a keep elizabeth newton is transformed into a post a child for 3rd world poverty and dispense with one of the lowest of life expectancies on the planets and the highest rates of poverty of the planets when they left. so there is nothing good that one can say for 200, you as a british colonialist of the same time that was 75. yeah. 77 years ago now that baby left and i think we'd have to stand up and say it's reject responsibility for taking off future and our own hands and making it work. obviously many of the best ones left behind by the berkeley still in deal with it. so i'm the administrator of framework or land holding patterns, all population issues. but the fact still remains that we now are responsible, and we will take responsibility is also shaping our own dest, you out of the pass code for the prisoners government to pay reparations to its

former colonies. is that something that you still think should be done? and how to move like the benefit india now is that or even a some race enough of that. i've been slightly misrepresented on that. what i said in that particular speech that went viral with several multiple millions of people watching it, was that i don't agree with the notion that financial reparations are nonsense, because i said that any amount of credible reparations would not be payable. indeed, a, an economist has said, that's the actual monetary value of business exploitation of, in this can only be estimated at 45 trillion box. and since the person has a, a per capita, it has a total of g, d, p, a 5 trillion. i think $45.00 trillion is impossible to pay, so any credible, say, go would not be payable. and any payable say, go would not be credible because whatever, uh, britain can pay in the end. reparations would pale by comparison with the box

damage done the lives on necessarily lost and the, the simple, expropriation and expectation of in the library is put in your rates on that doesn't mean the accounts pay reparations to smaller calling these worthy songs wouldn't be more affordable. and more realistic, and i'm not presuming to speak for barbados. so diana, i'll see it. i live in saying that they don't need reparations. that it may well do that for india. i think the, the moral it towed in by the british is far more important. the british of never to apologize, but 200 years of colonialism and i think it's high time they did so it's a distance, a good opportunity for them to do so. but since unity of the egregious and tragic jelly, i'm all about messic up. but when that sent you to retain the british prime minister was not able to go beyond that expression of redirect, which most people would consider the mild. and we also feel that i also feel and

have been advocating passionately, but originally would do well to teach and polish canadian history and schools. so you don't have a lot of the spectacle of pose as recently as the last couple of he is showing the majority of british people claiming to be proud of the empire and one thing a back which are such. and the also thing it was almost like, can you imagine a situation where the germans would want the nazi regime back? and yet that's what some people have written out of well for the notes, because the british don't teach, which was about couldn't it as well don't teach college. and i told that history classes and schools and that should be rectified. and the other thing i suggested is, with that capital london being a, was the capital of museums. they should think seriously of constructing a serious museum of colonialism that would show visits as from around england and around the world. what they did to foreign countries and how they gained from is as well as what damage they did to others. that could be a useful history lessons. just as german students today are bused to the

concentration camps. a museum of colonialism in london. what do i think that was also good? those are far more important than monetary reparation. but starting off with a simple, sorry, it would take us a long way and that i couldn't agree more. now in the ninety's, he said there's a special view and assistance of peacekeeping operations. could you give us an idea of what that experience was like especially, and then went up to the cost of the war of $99.00? well i, i worked for a long time, but not terribly long had mentioned 9 you agree or the united submissions, during which time i spent a very meaningful of 70 students in the united nations peacekeeping department during which i was the team leader for the former yugoslavia. so i was, the person was up rising, the reports of the secretary general, attending the security council meetings, visiting your beside be a more times than is entirely wise and safe, a boxing through mine fields of and facing stipends and all that fun. why did the

same time having to of having to do the diplomacy in new york with the countries, particularly the members of the security council, of the troops contributing countries on peacekeeping operations. by this i'm comfortable, it happened i had left to be sleeping to serve in the office of 2nd general coffee under which is where i was when the bombing of some of the initial bombing of 1990 could. and also was more on us forcibly separated from sub yes, that was a different experience. i was mostly in the peacekeeping department, but indeed, it's fair to say that the peacekeeping, the buffing, didn't 10 bucks to do with that. it was a new operations that resulted in that particular situation, but i was involved from the beginning of the civil war, 91, once the e u monitors pulls out in the u. n. came in and in fact i was the person who led the 1st exploratory mission for the us and along with a finish cut offs,

we travel through the wall fields and the was owns between the subs and the trots in october 1991. and we would do this about the feasibility of peacekeeping at the time. but the world had already decided this was going to be the u. n's talk, but say so. and so the reports we wrote to the security council, wherever he said that there wasn't really an easy, viable peacekeeping concept to be suggested. something that, as you split agreed upon, was the one that was, was chosen. and then subsequently as a whole, washington erupt in bosnia and so on and spread throughout the former yugoslavia. i remained the person in the un peacekeeping department dealing with these problems. but they're all of a small team. but of course the rather large operation on the ground that grew as it. busy from a handful of observers, when i 1st got involved to something like 88000. so just by the time i left to the end of 9 to 6, on the election of kofi, i'm going to be 2nd again said was

a huge period of my life of one that showed i would say many of the opportunities and the limitations of applying the peacekeeping technique to places where there was no peace to keep. and that's something we could talk about grace at length. then this particular format permits. i know the last week you saw the in the general election and through the 2nd phase of those, including in your constituency. what do you think about how the voting process is going the well, we had some issues in catalogue, where my states, with the turnouts could not be properly accommodated many boots, and a lot of voters, not only in my constituency, but swap my states. i. busy tend to weigh off to racing, inordinately long. i was in queues to vote, and that shouldn't have happened. and we have complained to the election commission that this was mismanaged, but by law, you know, of, i think the, the election came across otherwise, as, as,

as free and fair. we've had our issues with some of the technologies used. we would id like to lodge a some pool of both of verified paper trail machines to be counted alongside the electronic voting machines and that sort of thing which is a pending ongoing issue and they didn't elections. but otherwise we had a new 70 percent. an option catalog and, and another state site to this. but i would say that the 1st couple of phases have gone without any onto was incident. certainly no violence or anything like this. people are coming out to vote. the campaign is progressing. many of us, including me personally, feel that the process is far too long. it need not have required 7 phases. the election commission has identified to conduct these polls. i think it could have been disposed of quickly, but yeah, from the voting being cost in my constituency. last friday to the declaration of

results on the on the 4th of june. that's more than 40 days, i think tested to 48 days and that's an awful long time to wait to know the results . not terribly from the about that but otherwise no complaint so far it's gone. it's been reasonably well and we hope the remaining faces will go without incident as well. and the reason i say you identified the main goal is if the car in selections as preserving quotes, the main idea of india could you explain to is what you meant by that. please that we have cherished for the longest time, an idea of india, that those of an intrusive nation in which all religions all costs or losses, all creeds, all languages and people have all state's lives in equality and harmony in our country. that's. that's what the idea of in depth and trying to the constitution by the way, is all about we have on fortunately rooting policy for the last 10 years. that does not share the idea of indian. that indeed is our errors to

a political move in the reject to the constitution, but it was framed because they believed india should be. i shouldn't do rough check . admissions of induced english. people of other states live on sufferings, either as guess or as i'm welcome into the we don't agree with that reading of in there. we don't agree with the reading of history, and we don't agree with the implied lack of. so some harmony that this want to do so we believe that india belongs to all who are part of its culture of civilization and demography. and we believe everyone has survived in an india where equal rights have been a cherish principle for us. and, and i, for example, if someone has written extensively about this kind of in depths, i'm deeply frustrated to see in the being reduced to a land that comes across as bigoted. an intolerant. which in many ways is, is fundamentally on india and, and what is worse. so they're doing this in the name of, in books. well, where is such as the choose the fundamentally on the, in the,

in the resume is the same, is the order embrace in face the accepts difference and expect and fix all sorts of differences within its belief systems and between it's and all the belief systems. so it's, it's a, it's a, it's a bit complicated to basically the indian space. but essentially, if i were to simplified for a, for an audience, it isn't bothering to seriously inclusive in depth versus intolerance. india is what we see. the selection is being about just one final question before we die. if i may, as a full menu, an officer, how would you assess the will and body's response to the car and what are we seeing and gone? is it comparable to any of your previous mission? this would you say, unfortunately, i'm afraid the, the conflict in the middle east has always been one that of you and has found difficult to deal with. except on the rare occasions when all the principal pauses involved, are willing to agree on a piece. we well, as you know,

instruments in the very 1st space, the 1948 you into supervision organizations in jerusalem. we would instrumental in the piece in the suez canal of crisis in 1956. and we brought in a un peacekeepers off of the 1967 wolf who lingered for a long this time, i would regroup. job for the 1973 will also whenever was a could, we will help boost. but we will quickly able to restore peacekeeping operations. today i find no immediate prospect of doing anything meaningful. i would certainly want the un to lead efforts for peace. but the fact is that the is really government of, well they consider to be just cause off to the heating is attacks of the 7th of october on innocent civilians. they have a mock diploma campaign which as you know, many have considered as bordering and genocide. and in the circumstances of the un

kenyon reactive, the security council unanimously agrees on an intervention that to that, to stop this kind of conflict. all the security council is not agreeing because the us and some of its allies are not sympathetic to any desire to impose a piece upon these remedies. but there is a serious uh, amount of, of talking going on behind the scenes about the possible seas. why? but it does not seem to involve the united nations, it seems to be lead principally by the united states and a couple of states in the middle east, notably got the era and others who have been working with both of us and israel to try and come across us with a viable formula that can bring about peace. so i can't say frankly that the u. n. has distinguished itself with the surprises, but i'm not sure it's entirely reasonable to blame that you and yeah, i was looking more critical of you and for not having intervene earlier to prevents the russia you creating problems next. because when it was being widely totally

dropped for weeks before the war broke out, that it will might be a minute. that would have been the right time for the un secretary general to send the missionaries to both must go and cube, and if necessary, to nature capitals, to find a formula that could have avoided this, this tragic war. and very was critical of you and i am not similarly critical of you in here because i understand the dynamics of there's not much that the you and could have done in a situation where super pause are directly involved. and i'm not prepared to agree on a piece for me today. so that's what we say, an absolute pleasure. many thanks for speaking to us today. thank you all the best to you. the a

the when vitamins mass of worn aid package was passed by the us congress, it was met with much fanfare and political bluster. however, the even mainstream media cast out on whether the state will change military realities on the ground illusions they would see die hard when i would show seemed wrong. just don't safe house to come after kids and engagement because the trails

when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground, the the writing does this part of the political decision we decided to join the lawsuit, filed by south africa against israel. will complete legal work in work and what can be done with all friendly and allied countries and current on savings. joining the global effort that staff ask for chris stolen, say to stop atrocities in goal is to do a legal case before the international court of justice. clocks, we do not believe that the itc has jurisdiction over this issue. that being said, we work closely with the agency and a number of key areas. we think that they do important work. important work as it relates to ukraine, washington plains, the international criminal court has no rights. simple security is where you.
