run, they benefit from a world economy in transition with them still fact that nato has been preparing for an anti rash inaction since 2014 is no news to us. that's the message from the russian president to nato as a block and jobs. moscow. it's most significant and direct threat while boosting it's expansion by officially inviting and finland and sweden to join a un or do they prob, into the death of at least $23.00 african migrants after a crowd tries to cross morocco's border and mass into spain,
9:01 pm
north african enclave mila. up to 3 years in prison for journalism, we speak to a german reporter who is independent coverage of ukraine. doesn't fit the western narrative? i do not think to make any sanctions against me based in my opinion. i think he'll missy, by late my fundamental rights and beth with casting my direct more studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, nato has been ready an anti russian plans since 2014. that's according to the russian president who also dubbed the block a rudiments of the cold war. vladimir putin talked to the press as he wrapped up a visit to turkmenistan store store. and you stood on still the fact that nito has been preparing for an anti russian action since 2014 is no news to us. this is
9:02 pm
exactly what explains or decisive measures to protect our interests. nato is a rude amount of the past era. the ear of the cold war, we have been repeatedly told that nato has changed, that it's more of a political block now. but they have been trying to find an opportunity to boost it as a military organization. so here we go, there now doing it. there's nothing new here in the right, from honest with him to bring in lottie or the discussion you have been following this. i as we all have basic which. so what can we get here from the russian leader? what is he had to say? well, this of course came after we heard the fact that nato said that rush opposed the most significant threat to the alliance, a century in its history and also the green lighting of the membership of sweden and finland to become part of that alliance. at now, a putin was addressing this saying that, you know, everything between finland and sweden and russia had been fine to date that. but
9:03 pm
that could change now in the feature, and that there will be tension as, as a result of the siding to join at the nato alliance. i. he also said that any threats to russia would be matched and he talked about mirroring any nato and military developments on the finish border in particular because it shares this border of some, 1300 kilometers with russia. and also mirroring any military infrastructure that's put on place there by nato. so this really does look like it's going to cause quite a lot of tensions on the fact that they actually wanted to join nato. though he said look, they completely free to make that decision if that's one that they want to make. however, he said it's a very different ball game when you talk about ukraine becoming a member. for his leaf recalls on the grain to continue military action and negotiations only confirm our suggestions that the queen peoples wellbeing isn't the goal of the western nato. but rather they use it as
9:04 pm
a means to protect their own interests. ukraine has been turned into a foothold to try and balance russia. right. so there's a lot of discussion about this incident that happened in ukraine in the area of crime and shook a missile attack, which happened to hit a mall as well. lot have been talked about it, russia says that they were not targeting them all. ukraine says they weren't targeting them all. what did the president have to say about that? well, he talked about this because this, of course, comes off the western leaders have asked for the un security council to look into this to decide whether this was a terror attack or not. and if you said, quite clearly reiterating the line that we've heard many times from the president, the russian does not target civilians. there's also suggestion, the videos that russia has released showed that this was not a target strike on the move. however, the west have been reiterating the position that he had stated,
9:05 pm
which that this was a deliberate attack on the wall. and they say that they have video evidence to prove that. so it's a case if he says he says it's difficult. so the un secretary security council being asked to look into this, but again, russian president saying that russia does not target civilians and this was a military f o. and you guys dusky, my russian troops do not target civilian infrastructure. there is no need to do that as we have every capability to attract military targets and strike them using long range, high precision weapons. ok, so let me put in comments, come directly after the close of the g 7 come summit. formerly the g 8, of course, russia not being a part of that anymore. tough time for g 7. russia relations right now, did the president have anything to say about that? yes, he stated exactly what you said, that this is a very difficult time for the west and russia relationships pretty much at an all
9:06 pm
time low here. and of course the g 7 saying that, you know, they will continue to support ukraine no matter what. there was also a light to moment in that some of you may remember, this is when forest johnson during a photo opportunity suggested that western leaders needed to strip off to show that packs to show that they were tougher than putin and present, peter was all about this about this lighter note and what did he have to think about it? well, he was none to impress then you know, i don't know in what way they wanted to address to the waste or below the waist. i think in any case that that would have been a disgusting thing to see what's going on. certainly an interesting time to watching a western russian relations show davinsky thanks for joining us in studio. we know you'll stay cross start for us. all right. stay with us now. we have tensions in europe, still threatening to spill over into the east with leaders of japan, south korea,
9:07 pm
australia, and new zealand. attending a summit for the 1st time, the military blocks overtures to the asia pacific region, have worked beijing with china's top diplomat morning that further nato enlargement could ignite a confrontation. in recent years, nato has been persistently expanding and provoking confrontation between groups of countries. the international community should be highly aware of this and should strongly oppose it. meanwhile, the british foreign secretary has called on nato members to build their influence on a global scale, including sending weapons to taiwan to deter the potential for chinese military action on the island. a senior fellow at the time goal institution, a china based the think tanks as nato presence in the asia pacific would destabilize the region. well, i think they are not, in particular, bigger apiece. they are not happy that the china did not join them to condemn
9:08 pm
russia. to impose sanctions on russia, east bed, the champions, at least the diplomatically the holding. russia equals china and the security against russia. danger and depression of united states and the european a week that then, you know, basically the following them to allow me to be used as a tool against china in the us, the new cold war called china. so you can say like the in china, the china, right challenge the or into value and get the curity. and you know, for we are also present at the summit that also our development could be that could be stabilized the higher we asia. so china is certainly wary of expansion by nato,
9:09 pm
possibly into the pacific region. also nato relations with russia, not on their best report and had things to say, let's go back and talk about that for a little bit for that were joined with i was under bruno, an independent political analyse, analysed, thanks very much for being with us. exactly. have you with us? let me get right down to it. let me put in said that ukraine and the welfare of ukrainians is not a goal. but a tool of the wes pretty powerful words. what are the west collective goals when it comes to the situation in ukraine these days, given that it frequently appears to be fractional wise? well i'm, i still haven't gotten around to understanding what exactly the west is trying to do because it really doesn't make any sense. there is one logical answer that i can find. however, it is that the military industry is one of the few last bastions of technology.
9:10 pm
that's that house, that has its industry in house. it's not outsourced. so nato benefits by expanding and bye bye, are remaining relevant at least in the public eye. and in the, in the mainstream media's point of view, and therefore helping to stimulate and boost defense budgets around the world. so it's, as we've already seen, the us defense budget is probably now a trillion dollars. when you add up all the funds that have also been allotted to ukraine and many other nato members are starting to see, quote unquote, the benefit of paying a minimum of 2 percent of g d p into nato, which many european countries were not doing. they simply were, were rather like a days ago about the defense spending. and so i, and this is where i think sweden's participation in nato makes some sense
9:11 pm
because sweden has a good defense industry, particularly good aerospace industry and they have an airplane. the sab, i think the current, it's not the dragon, but i don't know, i forgot the name of the model now, but it's a very competitive jet fighter, which can now enter competitions for to join air force is the emitter. alongside other, erica, so there is a commercial side to this that that's the only explanation that i can find that makes any sense. kind of on the flip side of that question, do you think ukraine sees itself as a tool of the west or do you think that there actually believe that the west is in it for their welfare? ah, that's a very important question. i think many ukrainians have been led to believe that the west has its their welfare at heart. and certainly i cannot doubt that many
9:12 pm
people, many civilians in the west certainly feel badly for the civilians in ukraine. i do myself because it didn't have to come to this that absolutely did not have to come to this war is could have been stopped. many of our doors that i've studied, this one have the most chances of being stopped. i think historians will one day will make this point so, so i would say the governments or the west do not necessarily have the ukrainians interest at heart because if they did, they would of 1st a compliance with the means agreements and had a resolution. and now there would be no war, and then there were 566 years. so 8 years to do that. so if we didn't have, let's say you can as a catalyst, if it weren't for ukraine, do you think that there would be other, quote, western tools to assert its supremacy here?
9:13 pm
yes, the, so syria, that was one of those tools. in many ways, ukraine has replaced syria as the big proxy war, where the west was, in a sense, fighting russia. so and the, i don't think the syrian chapter is quite over yet because and to run for president, everyone has agreed to allow sweden and finland to join nato. but what is his price? i suspect his price will be quite a lot of a free hand into northern syria and iraq for sure. so he's the real winner of this situation. everyone. well, i think as for the west, they are shooting themselves in the foot to put it mildly because we haven't even started talking about all the economic problems related to sanctioning russia. and
9:14 pm
so, and many times i see there was a foreign policy article, the magazine, big journal, well read in washington which had a triumphal istic article, posted yesterday about how nato is, has benefited and russia has lost as a result of this work. when i put a comment where i found it and which was rather instinctive and was my comment was just wait, you know now that the time of triumphalism, we will see who wins in the year when the, when the accounts are drawn. and the benefits analyze interest because certainly finland has nothing to gain from this sweden a little bit. maybe i'll start with us under bruno independent, political analyst, preciate your thoughts or is interesting, frankly, with us here in our international. thank you, bye bye. or the un human rights office is calling for an independent probe into the
9:15 pm
killing of at least 23 african migrants by moroccan security forces. last week, the incident took place when hundreds of people stormed the border of an autonomous spanish city in northern africa. in a bit of a warning, you might find the following footage, disturbing. the people lying on the ground in the images have been rounded up by security forces. many of them are dead. at least 76 migrants. and 140 border guards are reported to have been injured in the incident, the one says moroccan authorities used baton and stones to attack the migrants as they tried to scale offense to enter the spanish enclave. now, spain prime minister, however, has praised the actions of the security forces. jonas a lot, i'm and go to push. i regret the deaths of these people, but this could not have turned out any other way. will i recognize the contribution of the american military police who in collaboration with the spanish states
9:16 pm
security forces of repressed and attack? i emphasize an attack on our countries borders. the rhetoric assured changed from e. u. officials from humanitarianism to militarism groups like human rights watch live accuse moroccan authorities of a cover up with hasty burials. there are also slamming the ease approach to migrants. what's clear is that despite all the ease talk of humanitarianism authorities are doing all they can to prevent migrants from reaching the e u. spain. public broadcaster captured video of what appeared to be spanish authorities beating a migrant who managed across the border fence. that's a pretty clear sign. the spain does not want these people displacement of africans by western back foreign wars like the crew data against libyan leader, m. m r. gadhafi in 2011 who held back north bound migrant waves and who made his country a destination for migrants in africa has since led to african migrants falling prey to human trafficking, as they make their way towards europe. and greece also just intercepted over
9:17 pm
a 1000 migrants in the agency, trying to cross into europe from turkey on trafficking boats in 24 separate incidents. according to athens, you back towards the middle east leading to waves of arrivals in turkey are also partly responsible for immigration troubles on which the european far right has been able to capitalize here in france, for example, the right way populous party of nothing. the pen is now officially the biggest single opposition party in parliament. so you politicians can no doubt to see the writing on the wall for their own careers if they fail to stem the migrant tide. and it's a contest between their own legal survival and their previously vaunted open door humanitarianism. so guess which one is now winning? oh, these are, i have to talk to international reason for that to be a i think this could be the page
9:18 pm
