search fellow at the center for china and globalization entry mo qu, says, china stayed consistent despite political moves by the west? well, i think this certainly is not in the interest of the canadian people. i'm the only positive i think that can come from this is the absence of a negative. we see a lot of hesitation of remarks by dutch government officials about a s m l. i think europe in general is adopting a much more pragmatic and realistic. well, i think in all of these issues, china's demonstrated a remarkable ha, restraints and pragmatism. in that it said consistently. um and you know, this is very different then we see other countries with changes in government that can lead to radical halsy ships. but china's been very,

very consistent in that it is willing to work with any country in a constructive way. in other news, canada's foreign ministry has summoned russia's ambassador to the country and follow several posts on the twitter account of the russian embassy and canada. opposing what it calls l. g. b t. propaganda. the embassies, tweets came after the russian parliament adopted a new law prohibiting l. g. b t. propaganda. canadian officials reacted to these tweets, accusing russia of spreading hate. the russian ambassador accused auto of trying to interfere in russia's domestic affairs and influence the electoral process. but to get more on this now we're in a cross live to that very ambassador right now. i legs upon of thank you very much for joining us here for all the way from canada. the 1st question i have is 2 fold . first of all, re surprised at the summons and also what do you expect? what are you going to say at the canadian foreign ministry? good evening. it's a pleasure to be here. well, it was

a surprise that was the reaction was a surprise and actually our treats were not only in conjunction with our legislation, i adopted but also in response to the statement by the canadian minister of foreign affairs made on november 24th when they were very carefully criticized our internal legislative process was criticized and we answered to be the rather extensive explanation of what's going on in russia are in interview of defending traditional will use. and also with regard to expressing the we love for our people who want to leave for their traditional way of life is out for interference. but the nature of the march was,

is to confirm that they stand firmly under the signature of that statement. and they are deeply concerned by so called to human rights violations in russia and the router substances for discussion. what universal human rights are. if you don't mind, i'd like to get your reaction to something that the canadian foreign minister said quote, unsurprisingly, the russians have once again chosen hateful propaganda. what do you think about that statement? well, it's sir. oh, speaking directly bluntly, it's absurd. because it's, it was only a factual statement that there is a family, a man, and woman and children. and as there are only 2 sexes and gender, male and female, we are not. was that right?

so it's a just a factual statement and the it absolutely and professional for the canadian media or the government, the government representative to present it as if it was something afraid, it's about laugh actually families about love, right? well, given that situation, what do you think about how much attention this is gotten in the media? well, it see have probably a demonstration of the mental optic. so the current cabinet to prime minister to the door cabinet and the scale of their priorities server for us, it's so hard to logically explain me, take it as the reality of the, of actually things that probably canada has served as a i will stand in the should see in front now off,

or ones the international stage and domestically, but when you choose to create the a, what a to media topic out of for the factual statement of the russian embassy. well we are surprised, but at the same time we, i wonder if well. busy you said that canada's criticism of rush of this new law against algebra to propaganda and russia constituted meddling in russia's domestic policy. could you elaborate on that a little bit? yeah, absolutely. i'll be done to interfere with don't model in canadian of affairs, domestic fairs, internal affair. so the domestic fair, so fuzzy western states and for example, you know, was it in many western countries across his side, taking down from the churches because it's considered to be

a politically incorrect or infringing on the rights of other religions. but our government never comes to those countries saying, well, returns across to the churches, right? so the yeah, not the coming to the monetary is our rules and we expect that they are canada. and as a western states, let us leave for us. we want now, for example, be all remember it was a couple of days ago, secretary, your secretary of state mr. blinking and the tweets at the rest, to our own makers, origins and to do something to the u. s. bidding and the it's a, it's a absolutely unacceptable. it's just a reflection of the colonial thinking of the so called congress suck some nation. so nothing more. and we will resist as such, attempts to infringe shawn our sovereignty. who earlier he brought attention to the

fact that the canadian embassy in moscow has actually put algae b t flags on its territory, which contradicts the local laws. of course, would you say that this represents a sort of double standard? well, it's obviously a double standard, but did see, you know, i would see kind of game of chess in that ideological stand between i asked san an answer west the canadian diplomat. so very professionals, he was a nosy, vienna convention on diplomatic relations. that is the diplomat. the commission can only displays official flags over the country. now assured, said the helge, a bit, if so, call, told you between flat keys and official symbol of canada and such the while aids there and international obligations. and they were doing that also in the full knowledge that such practice ease are not accepted, even outlawed, see in russia. so it's a disrespect to the,

to the countries customer and laws. it's regrettable. my foreign ministry, actually, the marston salmon, says ambassador, if i remember correctly once in order to protest said, but we'll see what happens next next year. i'm sure is it? well, i can predict that the canadians, as well as the breeds and they, i, and, and the american civil trade to continue irritate our eyes. so he says, such a demonstration. but vs clearly see double standards, a flaunt of so called neo liberal, where use at the same time z at right to deprive us of the right to leave according to our really central edition traditions. while it's also no secret, of course, that relations between canada and russia right now aren't the best as a result of the ukraine conflict. how do you, how do you think this entire situation could further complicate relations between

the 2 countries? well, it's all about the pool is c o z in all the cabinets, the anom. i'm my in my official capacity here. i have been trying constantly to promote a positive agenda for our country. so even and the current conditions, i mean yeah. j, graphical neighbors. if you are not going disappear, i and we share responsibility for the arctic via 2 largest continental nations in the world with huge territories beyond the pool or circle. and it could bring us potentially, to a very productive corporation and keeping arctic and developing technologies, creating conditions for indigenous people and local communities are, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and russia never looked at the canada through adversarial optics

leave in our swords at canada or canadian people or our adversaries for enemies. so it's, it's an attempt of the current current government to play the, the u. s. game, practically jeh politically. marching together with the rest of the western powers in order to contain suffocate, fresh and et cetera. but my question to my counterparts here in canada is simple. i creating an enemy out of russia, artificially what goods does it bring to, to, to canadian national interest, or you're gonna feel safer if you become more confrontational with russia. i'm, well, the answer is obvious, but sometimes the logic is very hard to understand and comprehend.

here, but we'll continue to promote the positive agenda in our relations and explaining to the canadian public. first of all, that the better relations between canada in russia is it cor interest of a national interest of canada. alright, rushes ambassador to canada, legs to paula. thanks a lot for taking the time to come onto our program. thank you. it was a bit now, another news. india's tech industry is making big strides in global markets. prime minister, no rental modi noted that the country has moved from 81st place on the world innovation index into the top 40, after doubling the amount of startups in the country, one being the renowned cybersecurity company cloud sec. and another manufacturer called general, bought ex, a bulk check. we build technology that can predict cyber threats before it even happened. we built unique

cybersecurity data at it and using machine learning models with which we'll be able to tell when the next i but that is going to happen and out with we have a partnership thinkable which allows us to do co cost photo transactions. and eventually we're trying to democratize fish and make it available to every thought of the world. ah ah, we're 1300000000 people living in this country, right? and if you can build something that can be useful for this population and build a useful service, that becomes a good business. that human capital is our biggest advantage as it's fine.

now we go to africa, where kenya's, hosting another round of piece talks aimed at resolving a long standing conflict in the democratic republic of the congo near its border with rolanda, delegates from rwanda. several other countries from the, from east africa and a representative from the u. n r, all participating in the talks which are scheduled to last a week. but the major insurgent group fighting in the conflict m 23 was not invited to this route. that's after a previous piece accord brokered in the angle and capital the wanda failed to take hold. a local reporter sent us this report from the gathering in nairobi. thought that he doesn't believe donald even, but restore increased on security that these them via us just kicked off a middle. this comes in the wake of the fitting, and hopefully we just put on fees and now posing as a threat to the sustainability of the entire east african community. the is he has a phase of committed to walking together to ensure that please. and do us in the

region. meanwhile, the country that i've sign did run a piece i thought of, helmeted to walking together to ensure that totemic does look escalate in the east than yet. see the m t m b 3 level groups have also expressed interest in making the for president who can as an inmate, robi napoleon, and we have never attacked the state armed forces at all times. it has been the coalition of various military groups. there has attacked our position and so we are respectful of the ceasefire. we want a peaceful outcome for this crisis. and we take note of the summit and luanda. we must tell the government to respect the ceasefire because we have taken note of this road map. we asked the facilitators to come and communicate with us because we want to communicate with them. we demand that they also listen to us. the people on the ground on hoping that these sort of unity by their leaders will just lit into peace in the east them. he actually is done, deb sequence, conflict management and international politics expert caroline, one dearie has high hopes for the talks. we are christopher wood,

that is going to be quite substantial lot of the development of the business process and we owe that of course they willing to be some positive cheese. now it is a member that they suffer corporation. they suffer for potential people who is to speak to the member from day for me. so she will not be left up to you know, that we will be on state. so that strongly brought yes, the lake as a member, because this is the way that they suffered under region. can you put the rule florida is coming your way after the short break.

ah ah, the news lou needs to come to the russian state little narrative. i've stayed on the most landscaping with house months and up with 55. we did. okay, so 92000 speedy. when else was about with, we will ban in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state aunt,

rush up to date, and school ortiz spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all bands on you to send me to school until she did you think it would cost to chat with me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah,

or come back to the program. now that may be an authorities have pulled down a statue of a 19th century german military leader. that activists had slammed as a symbol of colonialist depression. the landmarks removal has elicited mixed feelings from local residents. i see like, ah, the stitch look good from french all was supposed to be taken down. lee, so he back in independence when the beginning, the pin is 992 liens still in the power to minority in the people this suffered unable for friendship. i don't personally think it's a good idea to remove statues and things that are mind of her own history. but i cannot understand the viewpoint of people who feel that it doesn't represent the countries. panda, it's nothing was want to portray. so i, i can see that point of view and you know, if it gets removed to probably go somewhere where we go to few history like them, like a museum. we should still lever a place to, for people to sailors, to see what the past was. last year,

berlin officially admitted to committing genocide during the colonial era in namibia that known as german south west africa and promised to pay more than a $1000000000.00 euros as a gesture of atonement. but wind hawk has been trying to re negotiate the deal, claiming its insufficient. a local reporter told us that germany has not yet made adequate payments to namibian st. who deserve restitution. is an overwhelming demand from young people, wanted the colonized history, and they feel that especially given that germany has not paid or is refusing to pay at a place as is to modify the affected communities and to communicate directly to the effect of communities. they feel that he says just needs to be moved. the youth in particular, feel that all says all colonial i see guess need to be moved. people need to understand why it is taken down because it,

when it was taken down and started and people started asking why, even some people didn't even quite understand good from friendship fill us. so people started to ask some friends or was those that didn't know. and those who didn't know that he was responsible for the death of many now women and children and me in america, you do not need any form of reminder in the and you reminding the form of step 2 of examiner colonial reminder to be reminded of the genocide that took place you s republican lawmakers who recently won control of the lower house of congress wants the biden administration to provide thorough oversight of its arm supplies to ukraine. washington has already sent nearly $20000000000.00 worth of weapons to key of a report, say only 10 percent of those shipments have actually been monitored. the fact is, we are going to provide more oversight, transparency and accountability. we're not going to write a blank check. we have

a voice now and we're going to do this in an accountable way with transparency to american people. these are american taxpayer dollars going in while the republican party is not officially called for an end to us arm supplies to ukraine. it says most of the weapons are not being accounted for. the white house claims it simply has a very limited budget for providing enough oversight. however, according to the washington post, joe biden has resisted sending increased numbers of american inspectors deeper into ukraine, supposedly out of fear of provoking a tough response from russia. an escalating the conflict? some of the weapons sent to ukraine had been sold in the black market where they can be acquired by terrorists. that admission coming from a top u. k. a law enforcement official despite britain also sending guns to key f. ukraine had been well known as a notorious hub for arms trafficking,

even before rushes offensive began in february. here's the take of former pentagon official, michael maloof. they cannot keep track of what is being sent, and they have no intention of it. so good luck to the republicans or when they get into the house to get any kind of information. yeah, they could use the budget as a weapon, but ok, so a little bit will be eat up, but they're not going to get the satisfaction they want. and this is what we're going to have again, we break which this is the scheme we send in the advisors and, and before long, it escalates and biden, may, may for once have some ability to understand that that concern may be reluctant to do so. when you have contractors in there, you us train contractors for from the united states. greek, let's say retired military out of the iraq war out of afghan war. and they have

that they had that experience, they could be going in and actually providing training of ukrainians within the country. and of course, that makes them at an at u. s. government expense on my that and as a consequence of the europeans, as well as the us are going to suffer in the us is actually profiting from there from the european misery. and that's what we're seeing right now around has hosted a forum for strengthening economic ties with russia, with numerous officials and business leaders in attendance and advisor to, to ron's labor ministry has said that trade between the countries has increased by 200 percent since the middle of the last decade, that's despite heavy western sanctions hold a sunbeam long on him hedge. we're grateful to declare that the tree turnover between iran and russia has increased from $1500000000.00 in 2015 to $4.00 billy

last year. and is expected to increase up to 10000000000 and to thought of strengthening the already robust economic ties between the nation's despite western sanctions was a major topic at the forum. we heard from an iranian business leader whose confidence such bilateral bilateral trade will only increase what i was wanting to put on my counters that have been severely sanctioned. but we have good geographic, social and cultural relations with each other. we cooperate in many areas including agriculture, vehicle production and resource extraction, which we can provide ferocious needs for more news coming your way in just about 5 minutes. ah ah ah,

i think that will so now justin, russia, board and dwarf as apartment a and as a brief poet, dispensable, know that image of a night is safe and you are responsible powers that you collect column ah ah, they all need to be a move like a relative to the lab, aisha cloth that get what is the best time in which the idea about them, this is unavailable, believe it was of it. i'm fed to this isn't a pretty complicated victim lady. no good. any. literally what i see school of a car wasn't a port backwards, but some claim you're standing in my skin. a said to jeff, i mean,

i mean you can even down can be comma loosened up and the couple of somebody mp community that the comma a lovely knob is all right. suppose you decide that you still affect it, dor liada to need it with us. that's a disclaimer, but then with the routing just leaving it right. nobody for william to post is looking at them during the summer because i did not pay the the reason i wish to kathy so much but either way can i let chris will it was it was the case was a and then you billed us over for you will that they should, i see it, it's an open pick up and i wish to have a win of over love. and i think it's enough of a

really long i paid for the most part of the summer's warning would be up to stumble was then. yeah. like i'm, i'm not finished with it now. so, but the point of this one i would at last, but i had, i like that machine with a policy daily mother style. that my idea what i did wasn't able to see a problem with like, got a little immediately you, you rosa. love. okay. no problem. with bull, suppose it when you get

a little bit of that you mentioned with us. they did you much and the other with oh great. yeah, go run it. that is almost i am, my name is frank richardson, philadelphia got in the movement in any age, 13 or 14. we were violent towards those people because we believe there were a race. we were here 1st in our country being part of that movement. i got your sense of power when i felt powerless, we got attention when i felt invisible and accepted when i felt level life after hey, is an organization that was founded by for skin, neo nazi white supremacists in the u. s. in canada. and they found each other and they knew that they wanted to help other guys get out was 2 parts to getting out of a violent extreme was the 1st part of disengagement which is where you leave the

social group. and then the next part is d. radicalization we're belief systems audiology are removed, it was very impactful. when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story, did nothing to challenger our ah, with a, with all. ah,

it a, with a lot of mere potent and shing paying harolds, the start of the 4th russia, china energy business forum saying the economic partnership of their countries is needed now more than ever made pressure from the west, with politicians from 2 ethnic groups in russia slam comments from the pope who said soldiers from the east minorities are the cruelest on the ukraine from flies at v for representatives, confiscate a flag at the world cup of the ukrainian neo nazi as wont battalion. it had been unfurled by spanish fans.
