a short and to mount his time in office as we heard, he was elected president in june last year and a polarizing vote in which he defeated right when candidate cake or food. you maury, the left wing, former teacher promised a fair economic system, but not passed any major economic reforms. he was sworn in the next month since then. he survived to impeachment attempts, and appointed 5 cabinets with a total of at least 80 ministers. in october, 5 of custio's allies were detained on corruption charges. he and his family also facing 6 corruption investigations castillo denies any wrong doing. last month, one of a series of anti castillo protests gripped the capitol garcia, responded by saying they will have me until the last day of my term. his tenure came to an end on wednesday after he attempted to dissolve congress before he faced his 3rd round of impeachment proceedings, or your state department is describing guest you as the former president saying,

peruse, congress took, quote, corrective action in line with democratic values. why canada is in washington d. c. so does more about the reaction from there? well, the us position was flagged by the ambassador in lima, lisa canada, who shortly after congress was disbanded, supposedly disbanded. she tweeted immediately that that action must be reversed. now you've got a situation where the state department has come out in full support of what it sees as a democratic process that has removed petro castillo from office. this is what the state department spokesman net price had to say. given the action of the congress, he is now a former president castillo. the virtue of democratic systems around the world, is the fact that they are self correcting. and we continue to watch these events very closely. they're fluid and but it seems that peruse, congress has taken

a corrected action by seems that impeaching pedro to steal will continue to watch developments closely as they unfold. and we will act in accordance with the wishes me aspirations of the proven people. now the state department had been concerned about the numerous corruption allegations against cuz the some 6 investigations ongoing at the time that he was removed from office at must be noted too as well. but within peru impeachment is a political judgment rather than illegal one. this means that the office of president is subject to a subjective view by congress of whether or not impeachment is deserved. remembering to that, back in november 2020, there were 3 peruvian precedence within one week. castillo himself has dismissed the corruption charges as nothing more than a witch hunt. but very clearly,

i think there's some exaggeration in the us thinking that the saudis are looking at china has alternative strategic or on military political intelligence matters to the united states. i think the, the prime driver here is economics. as you said, the china is the largest purchaser of saudi oil. and the economic relationships between the 2 countries are, are growing. but i also do think that there is a political aspect to this. ah, the saudis don't want to have to be forced to pick sides between china and the us, as the chinese roll in the world grows and years in china and, and us the saturation have been fraught of she for different reasons recently. but there's be a meeting between she and biden, at, which looked a little bit like a thought. did you think that some the relationship with saudi and the u. s. is being reevaluated. and, and that the, this visit to china, to the chinese, the, to saudi will, will play into that. why certainly think the by the administration reevaluated its

efforts to keep saudi arabia at arms length, which she characterized its policy in 2021 with the war in ukraine and the disruption of energy markets. washington realized that it needed a good working relationship, saudi arabia, and i think that the meeting between president biden at present a g probably lower is the temperature a little bit. but those strategic issues are china's rise in america is worry about that. are going away. you mentioned that you thought see this made many as economic and relationship between china and saudi arabia. but what about the issue of arms cause i mean, i'm sad you have is been the yes biggest on the weapons buyer for fed, for 10 years as an act. you see that evolving it or why still i think that it's a certainly possible that the saudis will want to diversify their arm supplies and it wouldn't be unprecedented back way back in 1986, they bought missiles from, from china. but i also think that one of the things the saudis was looking at is the chinese relationship with iran, or last year, the chinese and the iranian side,

what they call a strategic agreement. and i think that the saudis want to make sure that if china is involved in the politics of the region, it's not completely on iran side. how do you see this in terms of china? i mean, we've seen that term, the covey rules inside china just been relaxed after those are those protests? is it a point you think when, when she needs to show his authority broad, while it's somewhat undermined at home? well, i would assume that this can only help jeered home because the, the problems are the problems that he said in the last few weeks are quite, quite dramatic. but the fact that there, there are loosening up on the 0 coven policy, i think actually might be more influential in terms of economic growth in the future. and that affects saudi arabia, in terms of oil demand. so i do think that the, that the recent changes at home are something that will probably just solidify saudi chinese relations. and in terms of those relation to sadie chinese ration is

what, what practical things you think will come out of this meeting. well, i'd be surprised if we get anything dramatic, like good armed sales or, or any kind of military agreement. there's been some rumors about the chinese establishing a naval base on the red sea coast of saudi arabia. i'd be very surprised at that happen. i think that what we'll see is, is, is economic agreements. gary, go or thank you very much and if at any time shorter, thank you. my pleasure. britton's finances threatening to introduce new laws to limit the disruption caused by strikes. border force workers at several u. k. airports are the latest to take action. planning to walk out between christmas and new year. workers in a wide range of sectors are demanding more money because of the cost of living crisis go brennan, report. next week britain's nurses will become the latest group of workers to go on strike, fighting for better pay. it's a landmark moment. the 1st time ever that you came. nurses have walked out,

livelihoods of the british public, a being hit by rampant inflation. groceries are 14 percent more expensive than a year ago. headline inflation is 11 percent, but most people's wages are not increasing by the same amount if at all an increasing quality between the top wages and the lowest wages. so the highest person and the last person does but also the media wages. so actually, any publish lint, make a class, the trade union unite his current, the involved in $22.00 separate pay disputes. it refutes the idea that companies can't afford to increase salaries. you're not, research has shown that over the last year, the top companies in the u. k. the profit margins have increased by 2 thirds. so what we actually have now is a crisis of profiteering. a recent u. k. opinion poll,

found 60 percent of people are generally supportive of workers taking industrial action, especially in the current cost of living crisis. but i think i did very sector by sector, for example, 54 percent supported ness is going on strike. while i figured up to 41 percent in favor of strikes by rail workers strike fatigue is a possibility. if there's little sign of it yet, pull brennan al jazeera london. china says it's rolling back cape ought summit, strict 0 cobit policy pulling widespread protests. it's a major reversal in the country that's imposed some, a toughest pandemic measures in the world. car leg reports. throughout the pandemic, china's population, his face was the toughest restrictions in the world. but now just weeks after president g recon mr to the 0 covey policy has been a dramatic shift, china is announced. it's listening. the rules, p. c r testing is to be reduced. those infected will isolated home rather than
