because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it, and that's just bad virtue of your being here. the me, the headlines on off into national europe prioritize is political issues ahead of its energy needs. china takes a rather pragmatic approach, striking on historic 27 year deal with cut out a, a gas delivery. so my thing friendly ties tube as president is right now meeting was lighted potent while on a visit here to moscow, where he has already addressed the parliament and iran stripes, kurdish opposition groups across the border in iraq, accusing them of inciting, ongoing protest. one investigative reporter we spoke to george parallel to the situation iran and love. bless them from being involved in the front, syria against the western plot to talk over theory and government for,

for it is trying to ensure that it, for the secure that called paul, the big stories for you. and that's our program from moscow. the global geopolitical chessboard of things and big moves being made today. welcome to your stories straight to europe now, and it's energy crisis as the volatile energy market problems. europe to seek a spot deliveries of natural gas from cutoff after it basically stopped itself from russian supplies that china is just secured on historic long term contract with cut out that will be supplying beijing with gas for the next 27 years. let's lift the lid on this or a lot of angles to it is isa. and he against the backdrop of this wild cup in a cutter is of course a number of issues to do with geo politics and energy security. now, of course,

cuts out is one of the world's biggest energy exporters. and at a time when european nations have essentially sanctioned themselves because of their policies towards russia, they've gone with the backing bowl in hand for the past few months to cut off in order to try to get them to give them supplies. that would replace the roughly 40 percent of energy needs that they previously had been getting from russia. in spite all of these, you know, delegations of european leaders from micron and even to c, a. u official. all of them going again with the banking ball and had to the custody near as far as the countries are concerned. and then not in a position to be able to replace that. the gap left by rushing gas because it's a huge logistic issue and a huge supply issue that will take simply years for them to fill immediately. i

don't think we can help and nobody can replace. i've said this very clearly, the volume that we're talking about 30 to 40 percent of gas coming from russia to europe is not something that can be replaced overnight. it needs time. now another question which has been asked of the cutter is whether they will be able to re direct supplies from asia to europe. now, of course, this deal between the chinese and the countries is a 27 year deal. multi 1000000000 pounds worth of gas to be exported to of course, manufacturing, power house of the world. china. but as far as the company is concerned, their contracts are bond and then i'm going to break them just because europeans throw that. so he's out. the problem wants to get more gas supplies, redirected from asia to their own guitar is absolutely committed to the sanctity of contracts. so when we sign with an asian buyer or european buyers, we stick to that agreement. so the volume that will go to europe is what has been

assigned, but as far as taking from asian buyers to send to europe, that will not happen against the backdrop. again, like i said, of this war company really is strange that the europeans who are facing a very cold and unstable winter coming up, of course, with those high energy prices, you have the political instability that, that could potentially be to rather than coming to the custody with some humility and with some respect towards the property during the 12. instead they've launched a mass media campaign, a hysterical media campaign with extremists, from the l g c movement. and others really taking a at what is a very fringe issue at the top and seemingly insulting their host again and again and again. while european are playing that you're signaling games and insulting one across the world. the chinese are getting down to business. and at least for the

next 27 years, ensuring their energy security is secure. what's a big story here or not? a poland military chief has called on a western countries to unite in the fight against russia and support efforts in the war. and after that battle is over, he said, a tension should then be turned to china. if we lose in ukraine, we lose bella roost. we lose credibility. china is watching the conflict closely. and since b ging is a more serious, longer term threat success in ukraine will have effects in the in the pacific as well. it's a matter of synchronizing our efforts if we do not fulfill the mission 1st in ukraine, we will not be ready for mission number 2, which is china. well, that was ultimately mirror concerns about china from american politicians. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff recently said the us military should never allow china to replace it as the world's leading military force or republican congressman kevin

mccarthy is accused of aging of stealing high end technology and interfering in the u. s. economy. meanwhile, following his recent meeting with the us, president, china leader staging pings said the asia pacific region was not someone's back yard to stage of power struggle. let's take this further here on the program. now joining victor gao from the center for china and globalization a very warm welcome to you so great to have you on the program. so here we go again and we just how we get now from a european official. it's usually washington that says something like this. now the polish chief of defense is calling, well, basically saying that china is a long term threat to the region. your thoughts? first of all, i think the polish baker achieved. i do not know what he is talking about all. he is completely misreading the situation. all he probably wants to bring nato and the united states and others into a war. and this is no simple matter. this is really impacting our peace

and war in the world. and i think as well, which will at agitate for a war between china and the united states. all with the western world is probably going to be guilty of a crime against humanity. how can you imagine anyone agitating war with one point? 4000000000 people plus this is crazy, this is madness. i hope someone. ready muscle, this military leader, and i hope you will know the truth. the truth is that china is a false war piece. and china, every year over the past several decades has contributed anywhere between one 3rd to about 40 percent of the additional g d. p growth of the world. so open up his mind and his eye as uses sanity and decency, to look at china and talk about peace rather than agitate war. where you talk about

the need for discussions of peace and, and the curious disturbing ideology of certain professional partners in the west to keep talking about china being a threat. i mean, i wanted to ask you, mr. gout, clearly china is the next economy kingpin of the world is the best way to deal with the next, the economic kingpin of the world. to start a war with that country. that's the exactly craziness i would call you madness. that's about completely disregarding the fundamental interests of the people that say in poland the any of the european countries or in the world at large to talk about a wall with china. why should anyone, any country, having a wall with china? china is a peace loving country. china wants to deal with every country people's fall as an equal. so don't lose your sanity about china. understand and china, and i realize that china is

a piece and forget about all these crazy talk about wall with china. a wall with trying to will be a crime against humanity. well, it would be, wouldn't it? i'm, when you're talking about some of the biggest boys on the block, on reading their weapons. of course, it would be a catastrophe for every single person. and we all live under the same roof, mr. gout, and at the end of the day, china as military spending is dwarfed by that of the united states, it would take rather a lot for beijing though to overcome washington's influence. though, don't you think? well, 1st of all, china's economic rise in this inevitable. china is already larger than the united states. if we use put power parity. china was about 80 percent the size of the united states. we use a visual exchange rate. we are sure that within 10 years before the 30, the economic size of china will be bigger than that of the united states. and if you believe in euro mosque by the door of the century,

the size of the chinese economy will be probably that of the united states. but on the other hand, china has no desire and the intention of replacing the united states as the top dog in the world. china does not see in the, becoming the next the superpower, the old john wants to deal with all the countries b, o small. as an equal and terminal wants to live in peace with all the countries in the world. and therefore, china is not going to drop the bulge about the international order. after all, back in 95, china was with the former soviet union with the united states and other allies in nazi germany, europe and japanese imperialism in asia. we were the founders of the international security. all that, and we have engaged with international security all day today. so don't expect my child. i will rock the boat channel, wants to keep the international order as it is, and make sure that all we,

all the countries will work by the united nations. and so called the united nations charger, and then all the countries will live, as you call in peace with each other, no country should impose its will on to other countries, was not by a kind of will not buys. i mean, it's like you're, you know, you're alluding to the time, but you know, we're seeing all these on, i guess these, these familial groupings. now whether it's the s c or the i c and or the apex summit or bricks, for example, we're seeing a lot of these countries getting together and literally signing contracts that are mutually beneficial without somebody perhaps being a bully or trying to own one side of the contract, so wanted to ask you, mr. gal. clearly most of us know about the colossal energy deals that russia has with china. in recent years, russia and china have signed the biggest deals in the history of their relationship . but right now, mr. gout look at what's happening in europe,

off the european politicians, cut off russia in energy to, to stop putin so called war in ukraine to take money of his coffers. there are some big moves right now, being made on the geopolitical energy chess board right now with cut out assigning its longest ever gas supply deal with china. it's supposed to go on for at least 27 years. take, take us through the energy angles of what's happening in the world today. china is almost certainly front and center. yes, i'm also the chairman of china and the security institute. i used to be the general council or channel national offshore oil company. one of the 3 big oil companies in china. now, from our perspective, we believe any security is one of the most important security is for any country. and if any government completely disregard it's all energy security, to engaging any political initiative, it is

a high act of irresponsibility against the fundamental interest of the people in those countries. and that's why we see people in europe going to suffer from freezing and starvation and inflation and crisis upon crisis. i think one of the reasons is because there governments forget how to insure any security for their own people. now, some countries keep saying gas. if you don't buy rush and gas, you can buy my gas or remember pipe the gas is completely different from l n g, l, a g in the best case scenario will be double the price of pipe. the gas engine, in some cases are 3 times. if multiple times a higher, then pyar to gas. so for every european country using, for example, job and as an example, if they are hooked on to the imported l n g, which is 3 times 4 times and the 5 times higher in christ, then a pipe,

the gas, they are talking about destruction of their manufacturing basis, they are talking about completely forgetting the fundamental interests or their people to keep them warm, to keep them fed up. so i'm shocked by these governments which completely demonstrates a lack of interest for their own people, and agitate for prong asian of war. allow me to emphasize another point. i truly believe there will be no lasting peace in europe by excluding russia. there will be no lasting peace in the world by excluding russia, whether you like russia or not. eventually you need to engage russia. russia need to be brought back to the international order in the european security order. anyone wants to completely disregard russia will do sole to his or her own

peril. this is a very simple 300 program or rocky science. i'm talking about basic at your politics a, b, c. so those countries in europe or elsewhere in the world will sooner or later realize that there will be a time for them to re engage with russia. and from the chinese perspective, ever since 1989, china's relations with a former soviet union. and then since 1991 with russia has been analyzed. we have very good, namely relations. we are a long border of 4300 kilometers long. we respect each other, we deal with each other as an equal. we complement ourselves because our economies are very different. this is a good example of how to handle our relations with russia and low. what in the world will force china to throw a which into this arm, studying friendship,

and cooperation, between china and russia? i hope other countries will do the same, rather than lose their sanity. and the want you great be brought to those people as possible rather than 40 more fuel onto the higher improving the war victor guy with some very lucid statements as straight talking from the center for china and globalization. victor, always good to see you. thanks for your time. i really thank you. bye bye. are good to have you with us for this program. and iranian strike against the kurdish opposition group in iraq as left at least one person dead. a baghdad condemned the attack, but terran said it was protecting its border against what it calls a cherry group. now iran accused as a democratic party of iranian costano, of arms trafficking, and inciting, ongoing protest in the country. the group denies all that. a protest was found in september by the death of

a young woman in police custody. although many other said that's not exactly true. she died later of a preexisting condition. and well, they accused our western powers of attempting to recite a true over all this. we spoke with a damascus based her journalist of vanessa bailey. she was able to draw some power levels of what happened actually just was more than 10 years ago in syria. how to listen to this was very clear indication that the mc wrong through the us for the very familiar violence. any comments or speech again or so to protest. of course, this is exactly the same script that we saw play out in theory or in the very early days. resolution 11, when in fact for the 1st 6 months, the security forces were on and the majority of an injuries were among the security forces and race. and we're seeing something very similar in iran where we're saying

individual killing security for during before. but also we have to understand that one is the reason that serious war for long words, the insecurity not for any for area of order. when on her, as for entering through turkey from libya through jordan, even for lebanon, iran less than from being involved in the defense exterior against the western plot to chuckle the syrian government. so it is trying to ensure that it's secure that called paul from the kurdish separatist areas into iran. so good to have you with us for this i was program on our 2 big story today happening right here in the russian capital cubans liter miguel diaz

continental has been meeting boys be meeting now for quite some time already at least an hour or 2 with the, well, the russian president vladimir putin deepened the holds of the kremlin. earlier in the day he addressed the russian parliament sanky moscow for its long term support . well, we can take this conversation further, ortiz fear, l. isabelle joining us here with a shooter with updates. now on this meeting has been ongoing for quite some time as i understand fear relo a going through a number of topics to we have any updates from, from the behind closed doors meeting. right. so earlier, just to recap, we saw the a people president reiterate support for russia, condemning western and us back sanctions, and also thanking russia for standing behind it. not only politically and denouncing the 60 or embargo, but also for standing with cuba during the cove at crisis and pandemic. so we saw that. and thereafter, of course, there was the unveiling of the monument of fidel castro, which signifies something very a, some sort of a bond going back to the area of the soviet union. now,

recently the 2 have spoken in some of what we heard really just some man sat support, especially coming from a president vladimir putin against the u. s. back sanctions. let's take a look. i used to say that i see you as i saw, always supported, and russia continues to support cuba and its people in their fight for independence and sovereignty. we always stood against the restrictions, embargoes and blockades, and so on. we, we supported cuba at the international platforms and we see that cuba shared this position towards us. so hearing the 2 leaders hearing specifically our president windermere, put in really talk about this loyalty. once again shows that these 2 nations have this bond of being sanctioned specifically by the united states. and of course, that, that is something that is going to affect the 2 in develop make economically as well as geopolitically, especially during this time where we're seeing the conflict in ukraine. and also

can now had something to say in regards to that because this, this is something that cuba has endured. and again, they have lost millions of millions of dollars a day since a bite in administration took over. so let's hear what can now had to say regarding this relationship emotionally because and so to little the see, this visit comes is both russia and cuba under unjust unilateral sanctions and have a common enemy the united states, which manipulates a huge part of humanity. we have felt their pressure for more than 60 years. we keep condemning the sanctions against russia. we want people not to be misled and not to blame russia for this conflict. right, so what he said very, was really important that i want to highlight. we have a common enemy and he mentioned the united states and i think that is a very important point. both nations, once again, had been sanctioned by the united states. both nations have stood with each other as well as with other sanction nations like it on and other others like cuba,

nicaragua, as well. and this signifies once again that the ongoing relationship is going to continue getting stronger. specifically, in regards to currencies, pepto, currencies, the ruble, and of course russians being able to go to cuba and really help out the tourist industry in cuba by using their own, ah, currency as well being allowed to use rubles, which is something that the people of russia haven't been able to do, and i think we're going to see more of this, develop it again. this is a very strong statement to make from cuba and as well as from the russian president . yeah. as you say, strong statements from both of those leaders. david, as you also say, uniting on one particular front when they're facing perhaps a lot of pressure from certain professional partners in the west, there's obviously a long term long term relationship going back at least 60 years. fiorella. thank you. thank you. ah, what if you're going to up burn coal australia apparently has some of the cleanest

on the planet? well, that's the claim. the countries may be making for years now, but a whistleblower has now left a bit of a city mark on their supposedly clean credentials. let's learn more right now. what's the wife to watch the contributor, rachel moss and i never even heard rachel, that cold could be clean in the 1st place. but can you perhaps shed some light on this? a sir? well, you just may be shocked to hear that this clean cool that we keep hearing about could be a scam. and at least that's what a whistleblower is alleging in australia, a member of parliament, andrew. well, he took the leet whistleblower documents into parliament yesterday and demanded an inquiry into some green shenanigans. did icebreaker. i bring to the parliament attention. another brave whistleblower and executive from yesterday and coal industry who has provided me with sales and some documents that prove australian companies have been long for years about the quality of the call. and

that's important because the fraud is environmental vandalism, and makes all a talk of nit 0 missions by 2050 a fiction. it could also be criminal, trashing corporate reputations, as well as our national reputation. the scandalous fact is at this called executive whistleblowers allegations have already made port to the australian federal place. the new south wales police destroyed securities and investment commission, the department of industry, science, energy, and resources, and even the form of federal government, and sofa, no authority, not one has been willing to act on this alleged criminal behavior. despite the fact that select evidence has already been presented in australian courts proving what this whistleblower says is true. big brained, western leads have been brow beating the entire planet in recent years about the need for every one to reduce their carbon footprint. flying around in a private jets well telling all the little people to ditch their gas guzzling cars

ride their bikes more than they've been cranky, down on farmers whose flatulent cows are supposedly blowing holes in the earth. ozone layer all because these same western leaders became obsessed with this idea of controlling the rise of the earth. atmospheric temperature to less than $1.00 degrees celsius above free industrial levels. they never really provided any proof of how the average joe living stone age lifestyle was going to actually accomplish that. but it did give them the opportunity to extract endless cash out of everyone and to use environmental sins for profit by slapping carbon taxes on everything that moved or breathed, but least if it didn't have flatulence law was sitting there. and because fossil fuels like coal result in more carbon taxes, of course, it makes sense that if a country could just come up with the idea of a clean coal that reduce the carbon tax that the customer would ultimately have to pay the government. well then they could justify selling not cool for

a higher price. so for many years now, the australian coal industry has been promoting this idea that it's coal export, which it sends to countries like japan, south korea, india, and china are cleaner than the coal exports of other countries. over the summer australian prime minister anthony alva, nice underscored what he claim to be the relative cleanliness of ozzy. cool in refusing to ban it's export even is fanatic. anti climate change, the leads are all pressure each other to do just that. some australian politicians are already voicing support for wilkins disclosures and his call for an inquiry. i strongly support andrew's position and he jade helen hides position that we made a whistleblower shop banks and corporations making pledges of net 0 emissions are also taking the public for a ride that's according to

a new united nations report released just earlier this month at the cop 27 climate change conference that accused these entities of promoting a green agenda for marketing purposes as a strategy to gain more business. all while failing to back up the claims in practice. all this has to really make you wonder how much of this green washing is really going on out there among all these virtues, signor's, who are so quick to tell the rest of us how to live. all right, i'll take it over to rachel martin. oh, it's good to see you. thank you. so i was right, you was saying it's all about energy these days. and as the world cup is ongoing and cast out of china who just signed a 27 year gas deal with cutout months off, the european leaders were begging energy. it's a pretty convoluted story, more details to come when we return to the top of a

to 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 very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk with

hello, welcome to was a part on the 1st day of next. here a brazil is set to you know, great. it's old new president who has been sworn into office twice before with the same promises, alleviating poverty and socializing governance with lewis to return latin america still to the left is more pronounced than ever. but will it help in taking social justice from their tired reality of ideology into practical living reality? want to discuss that i'm now joined by alessandra colombia to shay ross, professor of public policy as to cost university school of public policy and management. professor is a great you see a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for doing that. we're now on the day or he's in argue ration president will be $70000.00. the oldest person on the record to assume the brazilian presidency. i wonder if you see any contradiction between his age and he's promised us to

rejuvenate both for brazil's economy and it's society. you know, i don't, i was there in the 1st and the ration because they were part of the government market neutralization of me and i, i have been follow him because now on china and i see the same far the same energy they wish to make a difference what we need to call attention is that when we start monday. busy in pretty general, the problem was i will think the same situation where we're now a lot of the crime related to the situation was not very good. we've been through a lot of economics there and i think he's back to the same point in or been i was in the government of review for 30 years and everything that you have.
