9:14 am
a voice is coming by this princess. but also for example, sequel and why alan from who has sent for one something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions, that harmless, much molden russia. so it's getting, you know, very difficult for politicians to explain this. and they are trying to prepare us really for rationing that. i mean probably come in the also the european union's parliament has been demanding answers from spain over the deaths of at least 23 migrants who had been attempting to cross the border from morocco. spain's interior minister has been summoned to the european parliament civil liberties committee after a local investigation concluded that the migrants died from suffocation not police violence. the deadly incident took place. last month when a huge crowd tried to storm the spanish enclave city of mila. in north africa,

9:16 am
who suspects that the authorities have committed a cover up. i think they kind of want to just keep this under the rug and maintain the status quo and totally forgot about it. but now the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere, the whole world thing was happening and brought a tend to do an issue that could have remained small and could have gone unheard of for a while now. and so now they're under pressure to investigate. it's a good political strategy by them because now they're looking at ways to investigate this and say that they're going to look into these issues and hold people accountable to ensure that they protect their reputation and look, look like their country does. can is concerned about these people, but initially the objective was to maintain the status quo. and hopefully also this thing passed by morocco getting pressure from the european countries, which it has political, economic relationship with them. so it's in the interest to ensure that they maintain that rhetoric, that these are criminals, that people entering the country legally, and they cannot best truck and statements before us. it make them appeal week 3040
9:17 am
people were just murdered and gun down at in the show that the lack of human life is value to the area. and it's a justification because that the action that occurred there were wrong. people need to be held accountable, but seem as if the country's who shouldn't be investigating or protecting their own people while through law, because president has officially resigned the mass unrest that his grip to the south asian country shows no sign of abating. earlier protesters angered at worsening economic and social conditions breached the prime minister's office. he was appointed as interim president on friday, but people are demanding that he stepped down as well. o police use tear gas and water cannons against the demonstrators, but were unable to prevent them from taking over the premier's office. dozens of people were reported injured and the clashes in ortiz run june. sharman was

following the mass rallies throughout the week. the goal that i hope or doesn't do that very much in force behind me, the president secretary did. now there's been an official confirmation, but the president has left the country and he's currently in all of these things because she lanka will need a new government. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the i am in the international and wanted to the fun to get a good be now to beckett's, then she'd uncle will also need all good to finance minutes now important to underline. good. that much of the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the same set of massive challenges that made this particular government out. the new government will also inhibited massive humanitarian and knowing what those challenges. so you can add
9:19 am
a state of emergency to president both of my own job shop in the country. now the administration is doing everything again, this boss, the crowd said, what's your gas jail have been you when the protest still remain adamant monster with sharma in columbus. 3 long as former leader has reportedly fled to the maldives on the military jet. meanwhile, the new interim leader has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country. it includes officials from the military and the police, and earlier a local journalists surveyed the resigned leaders abandoned residence. i'm here in front of the president's house in columbus through lanka. as you can see behind me tense and thousands of people are still eagerly awaiting to walking to the sir presidential palace and to see what is the inside and what sort of
9:20 am
a bill. and that was captured by the a brit. his this on the 9th of july, and this particular human line is currently managed by the members of the organizations that carried out the huge mass valley. the protest that was unveiled on the 9th of july, but still received the presence of the security personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president boat, albert de boxer, who volved to step down from his position as the president. there was a meeting among the members of the representative bodies that organized the early on the 9th of july. and the particular party leaders at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker so of the protest. the organizers have refused to take part in that particular meeting, saying that david have their own action plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is the bush on loss reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo,
9:21 am
sher lanka. severe economic crisis has plunged the country into chaos as much of the national debt is owed to western powers or the past half a century. the international monetary fund has given the nation 16 loans with sri lanka, going through a series of so called economic stabilization programs. despite the huge repayment issue, sri lanka, prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum that the country would become wealthy within a decade. it's no secret denisia as the economic engine of the future. and in our endeavors to make sri lanka, a rich country by 2025, we aimed to include asia even more and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. independent journalist benjamin norton says, i am f policies for sri lanka have benefited foreign power. it's not the people of that country. the u. s. government has complete domination over both the international monetary fund and the world bank. the u. s. government is the only
9:22 am
member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular, the i m f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m f demands that a country cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage, basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest to foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talks between the sri lankan government and the i m f. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i m f. conditionality is that have been imposed on countries like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic
9:23 am
demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interests of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was unwilling to given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. as we mentioned, 3 long as economy collapsed under the massive weight of foreign depths, culminating in a default earlier this year. now several other countries face historic economic challenges and the possibility of failing to pay back their own sovereign bonds. ortiz, rachel blevins reports. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions lead to long because president to flee the country. some are now warning, but other developing nations could soon find themselves in the same position. in fact, the international monetary fund is warning that 900 developing nations are either at high risk or currently experiencing debt distress. their warning that those
9:24 am
countries which oh more than $230000000000.00 to foreign bondholders, maybe the next in line to default on their debt. the biggest concerns right now include all, salvador pakistan gonna argentina and ukraine. so it comes as no surprise that those countries are getting special attention from the i a math, the organization which has a long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations. and i'll talk with long go last month ended without a deal. the i m s, the managing director says it is looking forward to working with a new government in the near future. we have been reaching out to the biggest creditors to sri lanka to ascertain their commitment to engage so we can have that resolution. it would be better for the creditors to step forward, because then they have a better chance for the country to recover and for them to recoup more of their money. meanwhile, pakistan has been scrambling to make a deal with the i m that securing an agreement for an additional $1200000000.00
9:25 am
this week. but well, that may provide some temporary relief. the nation has more than $40000000000.00 in debt payments coming up in just the next 12 months. pakistan is at a challenging economic juncture, a difficult external environment combined with pro cyclical domestic policies, fuel domestic, manta, unsustainable levels. the resultant economic overheating lead to large fiscal and external deficits in the fiscal year 2022 contributed to rise in inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not to worry. the i m f is assuring the world that has everything taken care of, even as it continues to offer loans with no strategy for the developing nations they are working with to ever get out of that debt. we have to rethink how to act more in the direction of supporting countries early preemptively building resilience to these shocks. and that goes beyond the traditional focus of financial sector fiscal policy, as the question of whether the i and that would be willing to forgive all of that.
9:26 am
when it becomes clear that countries are being crushed under the financial load. well, that has yet to happen. some have tried to make the case for ukraine in debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and as partners in the us and europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support. thanks for watching the weekly on our international will be back with more just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. ah ah.
9:27 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on often bearing dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk and look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings,
9:28 am
except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about on personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to place trust, rather than fear a take on various char with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with awe. each one just simply looks at a map of bases and massage stations. i mean that is, or it's more than coincidental that russia is actually being surrounded and being targeted as an enemy. i mean, the ridiculous notion that massage systems in roaring out there to protect you from iran. iranian massage strikes. i mean,
9:29 am
this is the level of deception with a city with a phone number with grandma, but a lot of them bought a wall with

a felony but she's here with the widow, but it'll show you is a good fit for you. if there was a level based argument, you much, anybody out the door a side, you got a team and then i was to be a way to get with a.
