yes, this is just with a need for making milestone for the multi polar world as the saudi crown prince coast, china's president for a key summit, mid waning us influence in the middle east. we report from re at this hour time magazine named ukraine's president. zelinski are this person of the year, and that despite previously warning the key as far as all the movements has inspired more terrorist attacks in the us run is low make extremism. a hearing into allegations that china illegally carried out policing activities in $21.00 countries worldwide is about to kick off in the parliament. he investigates one legit sites in south africa. there's no evidence of anything suspicious going on

here. and the south african police have not issued a statement about this, or any of the 14 other chinese community centers around south africa with a very good afternoon see from a snow in moscow. my name is peter scott. take, you know, from nikki and i'll be here, bring you all the latest news. it's the welcome to the program. her chinese president, she's paying has arrived in riyadh for a summit aimed at forging stronger ties between beijing and gulf countries. saudi from principal have been some unwelcome the chinese presidents and according to unconfirmed reports she's visit is already bearing fruits. as 30. busy for investment agreements have already been signed. this continues an up turn in china, saudi trade, which has accounted for more than $300000000000.00 since 2017 shooting. ping's

visits has already been compared to the u. s. president's trips riyadh earlier this year, despite joe biden trying to friendly and even doing the fist with the saudi crown prince. they failed to reach any significance agreements. and just months later, the opec plus group of oil exports is which includes saudi arabia, agreed to flash the oil output with a move sparking criticism from washington. shooting things the visits best almost no resemblance to jo biden's. and that's happened during the u. s. presence, middle east trip, although the u. s. has been a long time ally with saudi arabia. the current president did not achieve any visible successes during the visit, as we've already said. not long after saudi arabia being one of the main opec plus members took part in putting down oil production, a decision making, which again, we've already said wrote a negative reaction from washington. let's cross live now to react for the latest on the ongoing summit from c d n correspondent young saying g young thanks for joining us this afternoon. so

what are the expect the expectations for the main day of the event that you know, tony present it in writing on wednesday and on his 1st day here in to 1000 capital with the official building thing monday and grounding mama can call me on an important operation document with the kingdom. now president, she is also said to attend at summit with leaders of golf. and why don't you, why do l world after the bilateral meeting with selby leaders? yes, so the u. s. has already said that what they've called china is attempt to spread influence worldwide is not conducive to international order. what's been the reaction to the comments so far over there has been one? well, let's look at some of the results so far. you said 1000 and chinese companies are fine. 30 for investment agreement. recovery a wide range of specter,

green energy information technology, patient and health care. the housing factory construction. there's going to be solid evidence to support the claim that a middle eastern country cooperating with its largest trading partner on economic and tech development. it's not to do so to national order. officials from both countries reiterated the unprecedented opportunity, brought by a lead synergy between the 2 countries. the initiative in the china belt enrolled and the saudi vision 2030, the radio is on track to become, you know, technology and innovation. and chinese leaders have made it very clear that the company is looking forward to working with things a moment. do you think the u. s. is concerned somewhat about what maybe it sees as this waning influence in the region, and he's trying to push back against the emergence of a different world order more so balanced power base. that's right. many of the time, the timing of this visit to the current high pension between the media and biggest

traditional allies. but if we take a step back, you know, look at china, w radio development of modern religion. one could also argue that this is far from being up to opportunistic number, weight, china and shelby radio, establish a comprehensive strategic partnership back in 2016 has needed many result of this both types of new ways that this was racial in an article by she didn't publish in a local newspaper, he talks about age old principles, the arabs, the pursuit of independence, opposition to external interference in standing up to power politics. i handed the both china and have a hose that recognizing a domestic issues, a pressure on other countries. and this has been really a common interest that's sort of as a foundation for kind of joint effort with the world to promote regional piece ability, asperity and development. you know, well young cheng c, c, g

t n correspond to john his life from re i'd thanks very much for breaking down the key takeaways of shooting things, visits, saudi arabia so far. thanks so much for time today. we've got a reaction from dr. muhammed, i'll stop by a former senior advisor to saudi arabia's energy minister, who says that the middle east unsigned are benefiting greatly from mutual ties go. it was way out of trying long time ago. jag by our economic partners. we know better than china to corporate or through the literature, corporation and wisdom especially that china is expanding worldwide. and the ambitious when they, when they, when different confidence. however, i think the middle east would be huge is they're not really

sources as the best laid china, national economy. so i don't think that this is a expense of anybody we geographically that we cannot mclee our economy. we please 2 or 3 was who is going to be our what does it mean that would not be denied, but we cannot limit our one when ally when i lie and leave on the execute that we are in the news. ukraine's

president bottom is the lensky has been named as time magazines person of the year, while another western outlet politico has called him the most powerful person in europe the next year. now this comes just one year after some of the same media warned the kids for rights as the movements poses a huge threat to the western world and even inspired more terrorist attacks in the us than islamic extremism. we're going to live now in the studio of all the details is our correspondence. rachel blevins. rachel, thanks very much for joining us this afternoon. so what's behind this apparent? you turn by the western media and as much reaction in the u. s. so far too, says that i could be named transparent, the old time has made it official there, calling him knowing that the person of the year, but also the most influential person in europe. and it's notable because there have been a number of people who have been quick to russia, social media calling out this decision saying that they don't agree with it. and also referring to the hypocrisy surrounding it. and that includes fox news host tucker carlson. take a listen to it,

he had to say about it. the lensky has no interest in freedom and democracy. in fact, once he is far closer to lenin than to george washington, he's a dictator. he's a dangerous authoritarian who was used a $100000000000.00 of us tax dollars to erect a one party police state in ukraine. and that's not an overstatement. over the past 2 years, the lensky has banned opposition parties. he shut down critical media by force. he's arrested his political opponents. he has sent soldiers into churches the when the secret police have rated monasteries across ukraine, even a convent full of nuns. and in the face of this, the by the ministration has said nothing, not one word. so time magazine's glowing praise zelinski in this article is really trying to overshadow the fact that the western media has openly acknowledge the ways in which he has targeted anyone. he views as a threat and that includes everyone from officials within his own government to

churches to entire media organization. so there's a lot that is going on, said with that title that he is now getting. when talking about time magazine last year, they published an article warning about the apparent threat posed by the far as all battalion to european security and that was under the landscape. so 10 years president was changed since then. right. and you know, it's interesting, that's another one of those things that they kind of quietly leave out, which is the ways in which those white nationalist extremists have really gain. even more power under zalinski is watch. now, speaking of that article, that time magazine did publish back in 2021. let's take a look at what they had to say about the threat that was posed there. oh, for right. increasingly been linked to violence around the world. at the agency, he suppressed a desire to travel to craig, him, white with military group with american. he also treated ukraine

is off with now that article was especially notable because it brought up the ways in which there were some figures at the time calling on the u. s. government to be aware of who it was funding within the as a battalion. and also to pay attention to the fact that this militia has brought in around $17000.00 foreign fighters in 6 years from 50 countries. so that threat that they were warning of appears to be no more according to the mainstream media, will still stay with the same topic. google's published list of most search full names and searches in ukraine itself. knows as a zelinski has been named time person of the year. it appears that within ukraine itself, he's not one of the most wealth search for people in goober. can we read anything to that? well, it certainly is a reminder of the ways in which time is basing this offer, right? they're not going off of the most popular person necessarily. and they're also

clearly not going on the streets of ukraine and asking them who they believe is their person of the year. instead, they are saying this is the person of the year based on how the western media views it. and this is very much an indicator as we see that title handed down, or rachel blevins. thanks very much for breaking that down for us. it's been great talking to you to thank you. ah, although the mere foods in has hosted a group of russian combat veterans the kremlin, the russian president praised the soldiers for the service and awarded them with golden star to signify the safest heroes. the veterans recently returned from their missions on the phone lines and the events was attended by the concrete top military commanders present. pearson also announced feminine silence to honor of the troops who lost their lives and moving on. now the european union parliament is about to hear a report that claims that china illegally carried out illegal policing activities

in $21.00 countries worldwide. at least 4 countries are now understood to be probing chinese offices operated in the territories and reports a legit covert alleged. sorry, covert policing activities overseas. china denies any thoughts, activities whatsoever, claiming the allegation is just us hype. r t corresponding trouble of looks into one of those offices that been accused in south africa. an international n g o claims that china has nice patients that are in major cities around the world masquerading as community centers. it says that raising use of the centers to try and one of the nationals from abroad while also facilitating their return back to china in order to spend trials all accountable lives. me, jamie. so visual have consistently denied that here in south africa,

science of chinese investment. if every way china is the number one, invest on the african continent. and it goes to reason that a large chinese community will be part of that social makeup consonant dwight ga, in the use of journalism, we have found one side spencer. so we thought we should test those allocation. david, when is the manager here at the south africa, chinese community and police corporation center. so what's in the name? we are the chinese community police for the chinese c p. if in what we do ease we work in conjunction with the police. yeah. basically we are not li stations, as you can see, i do not carry any file onto me. i do not. i'm not pulling foresman. we are not lo, inforcement here. what we do is we provide the local community with security services

in other type of services. they me tells me the fence i opened in august of 2018 and, and the height of south africa was called the pandemic. they gave her to over a 100 chinese covert positive patients yet. but the center also office as security is one unit for the many businesses and homes in this area and others as well. the security service we provide to the chinese community east in partnership with the a, the altima bill association of africa. we introduce a pending button device, we carry with them, or if you had anything that requires assistance or they encounter any problems, they can utilize our service. we do have all control room which in the winter, which we will then dispatch the necessary reaction units,

like many people who migrate from their home countries, chinese people in business, it, i usually close that and they, and change themselves on the communities while contributing to the local economy, but like anyway in the world, every now and then the few issues to deal with. but it's all part of a community life. we do have people that use in our name. they say they're part of us. but they are doing things out there. this is finance my number contribution, which is over 500 entities and members are also expected to volunteer to community outreach programs. even though the center manager wouldn't say how much the chinese embassy and consulate also gives them an unwell location of money. basically, we don't take any instruction besides all chairman, that's mr. lee who is who's responsible for that whole thing and the whole

all the soft, good chinese community police for we have no relationship with the chinese government. nothing at all. this community center is like many of us around the world, and there's generally not much community for traffic yet. there's no evidence of anything suspicious going on here. and the south african police have not issued a statement about this, or any of the 14 of the chinese community centers around south africa. and from any reports, the police here where heavy, at least with the establishment of sledge police co, operative by the chinese community. now we have found no major re flags with regard to this issue. at least in south africa. got to believe has a lot of people in the east of john is nowhere to bangladesh. now

a violent clash between police and supporters of the country's main opposition party has left one person dead, and schools injured. thousands of others were arrested with the opposition, the bangladesh nationalist party funding another until government rally for thought today. both say that the cautious broke out from processes outside the b and p office with use to leave police and fire removal is until got to respond them only for members of the crowd to respond with projectiles. the maybe the has illustrated our reports on russian strikes on ukraine with a pitch of a building that was actually destroyed by ukraine's shelling of the next. as are these roman culture of explains such incidents often in keeping with the mainstream media under reporting of events in the bus. russian forces and they're done, boss counterparts are traditionally portrayed by ukrainian and western mays, free media, as indiscriminate barbarians. their viewers and readers are often just

a couple of clicks away from terrifying footage that rubs their noses into a near perfect trap. designed to demonize anything to do with the word russian. and the narrative accompanying as is often a complete fantasy. take this breaking news story from the b b c. the british broadcaster suggests that the building pictured is in ukraine and was destroyed by a russian strike. now that could not be further from the truth. how do i know that? well, i'm standing right next to this building right now is behind me. and i know for a fact that it was destroyed during barbaric and chaotic artillery shelling of peaceful civilians in the next by ukraine. and not russia. such fake news regarding the almost 9 year conflict and done boss has been surfacing in western media on a regular basis. and it's to be only 5 minutes to find

a few examples non non and it's not just fake stories, it's the stories that they choose not to tell. since the start of the conflict in 2014 western media have often turned a blind eye to mass civilian casualties, atrocities and war crimes committed by the ukraine and military and nationalist, neo nazi battalions against the civilian population of done boss. thousands of people, including many children, had been killed over this period and continued to fall victim to ukrainian

aggression to this day. so, why does such tragedies go largely unnoticed by western main, 3 media? with spoken to the authorities in charge of issuing accreditations to all media, both russian and foreign. now their answer is simple. wester media is absent from dung boss. you do she uh, that will be of name foreign media such as been been a c, r c and, and my hair long time ago. last time the baby she was here was the spring of 2016 since then they haven't been present here. they haven't got to fish al accreditation and therefore they aren't working hand. and then they work in a conflict zone, but on the ukrainian side of the front line. so they come to be objective about what's happening in the don't ask republic, as they don't. why can artsy has been on the ground here and done as can logan's republics from the get go. over this period we've seen and communicated with journalists from all over the world, most of whom have come here without any pre determined agenda. however,

the presence of the so called heavy hitters such as their bbc and cnn is something a rare to the region. they prefer to cover the events from a distance while trying to convince their viewers of their so called objectivity roman coffer. if arti done as republic a step towards complete dystopian. well, that's how critics of described a plan calling for residence of a british city to require permits use private vehicles in the sunset during rush hour. we think that this is one small step toward just complete, disappear using climate to net 0 as an excuse, as per usual when rules and regulations are brought in to restrict people, they never actually use the real reason to start off. it's always public health, or in this case, saving the planet oxford has chosen itself to be the subject of a suicidal experiment. every one i speak to hates it. the filter

scheme is set to begin in a city of oxford in 2024 in an effort to reduce traffic and stop pollution. and one driving through the areas with all the permits will be fine to 70 pounds around it's $5.00. local authorities claim the measures will make the city a better place to live with so much miss expressing support for the move. the official analysis of the scheme found that it will mean a 35 percent decrease in traffic, and 9 percent reduction in road casualties. rush hour buses will run 15 percent quicker and air pollution will improve in 91 percent of locations. this will save lives and make our city more pleasant now and for future generations. earlier we discussed the controversial traffic filter system with radio host carry harrison and steve, gil, who's a political commentator, we used to always get the excuse for every public policy argument that it's for the children. now it's always for the environment. and unfortunately,

bureaucratic governments all over the world tell a truth, but don't really tell the truth of what the purpose of this agenda really is. i think that's why people are skeptical of that is the most dramatic thing. i have heard and probably 2 and a half weeks when i moved to los angeles 20 years ago, the air was on breathable. the traffic congestion is still absolutely impossible, making the city on livable. so what has happened is people have gotten vespers and bicycles. it seems like a radical idea, but if you like, clean air, if you like to be an upright being that is able to get from a to be comfortably without being smacked by a car. sometimes you might have to limit it. first of all, i don't think people are just giving in their cars and driving and random. most of them are going somewhere that's not a workable system. any more than oxford, when you have a town that was built hundreds of years ago with narrow streets, it was not anticipating vehicles. you're gonna have to deal with the reality of an old town with small confines and with people wanting to get in and out of those

areas for work and business and take their kids to school. he got a deal with reality, not the idea that we can put trolleys in or some sort of a monorail system like disney world and move people around rapidly on a, on a relatively easy schedule. i would agree with steve. except let's, he mentioned walt disney who created disney world, which is still a modern for excellent transportation, if an effort is being made to improve things. and let's assume that the city council of oxford is some sort of democracy and that a vote was taken in the public, was involved to some degree. then we either like democracy or we don't. if in fact this is where they want to go and create a quality of life that surpasses everyone, then that's a good thing for the upright mammals that live there. so let's put the role in place and then let the public boat, if they're not getting to vote in the past. and when they throw the yesterday child members out, he put it in. we'll see what the public really thinks about. and i also point out that in beijing you have millions of people on bicycles. it's one of the most

polluted cities in the world because it's not just transportations that fuels pollution. if they want cleaner air, they want a better way to get around from a to b, to have less collision, less people knocked down more people on bicycles done. let them try the experiment . if it fails, it fails that it fails in front of all of us. we now know never do that again. the, we've got a bit of break can use for you. now russia and the u. s. have carried out a high profile prison, a swap which has been confirmed by the russian foreign minister, the russian business in victor boots crews convicted on arms, dealing charges in the u. s. has been handed over to moscow and exchange for american buskie. both brittany greener who was sentenced to 9 years in a russian prison for drug trafficking. moscow had been pushing for boots, released for years, but washington had declined to consider the move until now. the u. k. is to double imports of liquefied american natural gas and in efforts as prime

minister busy soon not going the lines to low prices. together the u. k. in the us will ensure the global price of energy and the security of the national supply can never again be manipulated by the women of a failing regime. the partnership will bring down prices for british consumers and help and europe's dependence on russian energy wants and full repulse. suggest the both u. k and europe will be facing major challenges to stay warm in the coming year. the sanctions on russia back fire and countries struggle to replenish energy stocks . that comes with us. exports of energy priced up to 4 times higher than european domestic markets. energy experts, stress that britons deal with the u. s. will not solve the crisis. it is a strategy that is at best short sighted and at what will only further enrich the oil and gas industry at the expense of everyone else. now the u. k. is dependence on russian energy has been comparatively low last year. it's important just 4

percent of its gas from russia, the majority being from norway, international petroleum economist john foster questioned whether the new deal will actually help lower prices. well, they, okay. united states say in this announcement is that they will work together to what they say to increase energy security and drive down prices. in my view, that's meaningless. it's a hollow promise. they, us, this price of the people of washington do not regulate the price for all of the other commercial terms of which the energy exports are made by private companies in the united states. i cannot see how this other n g deal will help you. ok, consumers for start with the energy bills when i see about talk about the n g u and europe. neither is expansion of gas from the us. europe is getting the shock

treatment. moving from the cost russian gas supplied on the invite, the long term dependable contracts to high cost imported at n g from wherever, but particularly from the united states. and meanwhile, europe faces an energy crisis. it faces economic disaster. seeing how the winter moves moves along forage, the u. s. u k initiative is a distraction, is a distraction from the european energy crisis. which stems from these western sanctions on russia is not from the war of such over to perino, which has sworn in its 1st female president dina bowie was a while her previous pedro castillo has been impeached and placed under arrest most castillo and the countries congress, which voted to remove him, have accused each other of an acting, accrue,

protested floated the streets of the capital lima, as events unfolded expressing mixed emotions over for drama, the president pedro castillo, has not been allowed to wear castillo has been sown, has been slandered. this is why we are now going through what we are going through . it was necessary to close this filthy congress. she bought the brother who we didn't want to hear in defense of democracy. he grew, could feel, has done today is to shut down congress and carry out that he was elected by all the parade. the people, the people are not lima, the people or the whole country, the whole peru. and they have to learn to respect the will of the people if it's to remove castillo, have been on the way since his 1st day in office dogging the former school teacher with criminal corruption investigations, while boulevard to his own image has been marred by a similar congressional pro.
