6:30 am
oh, which is legitimate, can i just turn the conversation to a human level current if i may, that the conflict in ukraine it's, it has spurred among other things and a wave of hate vitriol against russians abroad at russian culture as well. there. there's been almost a, a conviction to cancel russian culture as if that could possibly be be dawn and you know, is this a period it's been pushed on by the media as well? i would submit. is this a period that the media and others are going to look back on shamefully? or is it the? is this the new reality? is this what it's going to be like going forward, or is this a a stitch in time that's going to change. though difficult to say for some from a rational perspective, who remember in early years of 20th century, it's kind of dish view. it's happened already once in a because or from a historical perspective. you can also see the interventions that took place during
6:31 am
world war one in russia. and there's, there's a huge history about what happened between the 1890 and up to world war one in terms of instigating thinks in russia. i mean, there was a thing for instance, indiana and the minister of foreign affairs, when austria hungary was still around the child, russia were not for unless we managed to make our own problems inside. so there is a kind of her experience, and i would say maybe even a fear constant fear, maybe even an obsession with foreign intervention because it happened. and now when it comes to, to this cancellation of rushman couch, off of this, total isolation of russian citizens are of any kind of cooperation with russia. it's irrational, it's totally irrational, but it's a sign off on off and it's, it's, it's, it's nevertheless also typical for our time where there is only black and
6:32 am
white where there's an old, very few people disagreeing with it. yeah. in the west, there's very few people seeing what hold on a moment. i'm not sure that's right. formally so birth thinking people are just going along with it. why? i cannot tell you, but i am, i'm struck by what's going on and there are days of the last year when i was simply restless. and i because i did not expect what is possible to happen. i mean, i'm just a tiny little completely unimportant fight factor, but bigger things happen to others or the way of what or what has been done in terms of counseling, a flight connections just to stop is that the way it started in late february? it was amazing. um, but um, you know, there's no room anymore for consensus in the north western hemisphere. it's either
6:33 am
or, and a whole narrative on russia now is a very to me one, it's a very black one. and to go back to the arab world, to go back to other parts of the world. also the entire continental africa. oh, there's more consensus seeking people know that diplomacy is not either or it's yes and it has to be all inclusive, somehow. and since diplomacy unfortunately, died this year, we have to reinvented a you decided to move to lebanon after you received death threats. we've spoken briefly before before, but can, you can remind us of the situation car. well, on the death threats were one thing and always death threats if you want. i can. i don't have so many problems that threats what is much more problematic and what is really destroying alive. that was my case is when you are prohibited to work, when you are not allowed to bank account, when you are not given a tax number, these things are distracted because like that you see sticks,
6:34 am
etc. 0100 years ago you could do with bank was other bank account, but not in today's world. so i left austria in september 2020 because of these attacks. also because i was physically attack them because i was more and more put outside of society. that was long before started was started this year in terms of military conflict, but i felt like thinks would become nasty for me. and my move to france, beginning of this year was a deliberate one. i said, okay, i cannot continue to live in a decent way in austria, i tried to rebuild life in france, which is not easy in when you're nearly 60, but i did it deliberately. the real shock for me this year was that i was also more less kicked out of france because of tremendous intrigues people going on to which shows claiming that was my case. for instance, with somebody with whom i happened to attend the same academy in france and i had, i had never been in touch with that person afterwards. claiming that i had been
6:35 am
recruited more or less or he had recommended me for decay to be back in 1992. so then you'll have people in austria claiming world cardinal a. she she's, she's to, she's running to catch abuses, working for the russians. of course, we never saw the pictures that person are showing on french to we are, but this, these are tremendous. intrigues is a tremendous are. these are worse than death threats because that threats. yes, they are nasty, they're horrible, especially the way they are worded some of them. and when i asked a lawyer tool tool to take up to sing sent, defend me, their worries their response. i got in osteo was you know, mrs. kaiser, the atmosphere regarding you is not very, very, very good. these days. it was the beginning of the war in ukraine. so you better don't go to court. how much did the media clean up?
6:36 am
because accusations can always happen, but they need a shuttle to get out there. so how much didn't media play in? not what happened you at your to roll? yes, there. i mean, then did the, did it in the case of the austrian, me yeah. when i started my office as ministered, they expect some money to expect certain kinds of things you do to them, which i refrained from doing because i said this go and write whatever you want. but i'm not going to all to promote your with x money, just the q gets, get your little obnoxious your tip. and that was the case. it was done by many of my predecessors, and this whole man is shifting from ministers tool to the media. i didn't do it and that's why i didn't like it too much. and that was part of the wrench. it was a re wrench. and it was a revenge that destroyed me definitely morally. financially. and so i decided to
6:37 am
quit my country back in 2020, and uh, throughout this year. and it continues to this day. and they interpret very dirty fantasy in, in, in, in some photos that i am on. so it, there's an ongoing which hunt i would call it like that just before we move, move on, just a brief point on bud. was there any support that you got perhaps from former colleagues privately, but said we can't go, we can't go public, but what we're seeing you, we support you, but it's just not worth our time or careerist is, is in jeopardy in austria, there was no support at all by nobody anna. and in this year and of may when on the european parliament put me on the list of sanction, which would have sorts of they made the 1st you citizen to be on a sanctioned list. that was all the former chance i gotch, rhoda,
6:38 am
or in the case of shrewder who receives his income in germany, who has his bodyguards for his life in germany. i had already quitted austria. ah, but the chancellor shouts immediately said no way that are that i have for colleague mister slid, gets on the sanction this there was, there was an outcry in germany. and so if you want, mister schroeder is to certain extent protected by his government. in austria, i called to the former president a fish and asked, can anybody please say stop, stop it, you know, it's not legal. what is going on? or what has she done that way? i mean, why, why destruction? nobody opened a mouse for me, nobody in austria. and this is what struck me most because i served my country, my whole life, not honors. i'm in his thyself as a diplomat and my twenties and searches i surfed also later on as a teacher, i always was a patriot. i always defended, was ready to defend my country. and everything that i had built up in my life in
6:39 am
austria as a moral reputation is gone. oh my, my books, my trees i miss but otherwise honestly and this is maybe it was a very sad statement but i dont miss. i don't miss it because too much has happened . you know, it's like a very cold shower that you get to live at. at a certain stage of your life, you have to accept that you are not any more allowed to live in your country. it's extraordinary situation. and before we go one last there, one last question, you've been so good with your time. you live in lebanon and the country's been road president for over a month. now, not a, a stable situation. there are unable to agree in a new head of state legislators and just briefly, what is the situation like there now is it's not for the 1st time that lebanon is without a president and lebanon is above all, accounted with a very strong society, where people organized the life themselves, as i said,
6:40 am
you're everything with the family, you are nothing without the family. ah, the absence of a president of a president and off of routine legislation or of course is a problem and i hope can be solved and my trust is put in the fact of what we just spoke before and the changes in the middle east and iran and saudi arabia, half east, there, antic, on this, and, and lebanon, to the same extent, like yemen and iraq are not as bloody as in yemen. over the years. lebanon was also a stage where these 2 countries are, had their monthly, well man, death to certain extent, while his maligned name of iran wire other political movements in the name of saudi arabia. and i do hope that this can come to a consensus, because i don't know any fight to, apart from lebanon, where there's, there's so much place for consensus. when they, they,
6:41 am
they manage to manage to shake hands after horrible times. and in contrast to this black and white, you have a lot of freight in lebanon, and gray in the office can have some times to, to make a fresh start. yes, been a tough few years for lebanon, where were wishing for better days ahead carrying. thank you. so much for coming on the program and sharing your view and all that all was fussing to speak to carmen. can i so former austrian foreign minister? many thanks you're most welcome. thank you for the invitation and for the conversation is saw her outsource, really conduct a life auntie we a to a conversation and that's that makes the difference here. but so good luck to karen . thank you. thank you or kate, let's say move to south american. i were a states of america and see has been announced in peru. i made protests which have turned deadly in an effort to appease demonstrators. the countries at new president has proposed moving a general election forward, but not until 2 years from now. a this cd,
6:42 am
the last need i have decided to take the initiative to reach an agreement with the congress to move the general elections to april 2024. i didn't miss any. miss bullen artie was promoted from vice president to head of state last week without being directly elected. her predecessor was removed from office after trying to dissolve congress. after numerous attempts to impeach him, peru has been gripped by mass protests for days with demonstrators demanding snuff elections. several protest yourself been reported, killed and made clashes with police. while i said, president petro kasteel was arrested on qu, charges after he tried to install an emergency government. we heard from journalist and writer on the regent, ben norton who said castillo, is the victim of a political power grub. the response of the current government in peru has been very violent. we have seen that the police are shooting large balls of metal at
6:43 am
protestors and they say this is that these are non lethal munitions, but they've killed protesters. so clearly they're not really non lethal. munitions . why are people protesting? that's the question that should be asked, because there was a qu, data that over through the democratically elected president of brew pedro castillo . and there's been this media narrative that has been backed by the u. s. embassy. that falsely accuses the elected president castillo, of supposedly trying to carry out a qu, when in reality he's the victim of a qu. that's why the people in peru are in the streets, protesting, and the protests are growing in momentum despite the violence. peru is still using a constitution that was written by a far right dictator, alberta, food you, marty, who was backed by the united states. he himself was guilty of every thing that the media is falsely accusing. pedro castilla, in fact, it was fuji mari, with the backing of united states who dissolved the congress and declared a dictatorship in the 1990s. and he wrote
6:44 am
a new constitution without democratic approval, and made many of the laws that have resulted in the political crisis in peru. today, i want to stress this point again. castillo is the only person who was elected to be president. none of these other figures have won a single vote in a presidential election. so while the u. s. embassy is accusing federal castillo falsely of launching a coup, the reality is that the u. s. embassy is backing the real who plotters lead by dean of the water than in peru right now. the american president is hosting african leaders for a wide ranging summit in washington as the u. s. 6 to broaden its influence on the continent. yet some of the summits program shows joe biden is not planning 11 on one conversation with any of those invited. and when an african journalist tried to ask the white house spokesperson, why, that's the case is she abruptly ended the brief good way to do so have to think
6:45 am
equation under us africa. so mean went to prison, city african the does, he has gotten of leaders of his musician wasted hug for you to give me a question is not hard. i've answered i'm, would you let me answer the question, are you good? yeah. okay. you don't even really know. i just, i literally just tried to answer your question. you shut me down. so now your colleague is gonna be okay, thanks everybody. i'll see you tomorrow. how easy understandable that present baton is invites in 50 african head of state to the u. s. who is spend almost $15000000.00 each and he doesn't have 5 minutes to spend with each of them. he wouldn't have any one on one with any of those african presidents or come in here or with the 3 day summer kicking off this, choose the ortiz corolla taft. i recaps washington's top down approach towards africa. now, as the u. s. attempts to edge russia and china out of the continent established in
6:46 am
2014 the u. s. africa's leader summit is only the thing for the 2nd time this year. starting on december 13. you have proven joe biden is trying to africa and not just for his minerals, but also it's both some 49 african handles. these are expected to be there, including the chairperson of the african union, more self. i key. now, i know exactly what you're thinking. way of 49 guys going to see one guy. well, this year, the un general assembly in march, 17 african heads of faith, 17 african countries refused to tow the line of the western nations in their allies to condemn russia over the ukraine conflict. this has heaped pressure and even threads on african countries emanating from the u. s. l. it's european allies. that
6:47 am
trend continues. we think it's really important when we look at this on provoked aggression. this attack against democracy. russia's war against ukraine prudence were in ukraine. it's important to say this is wrong. what's most important is that as russia tries to, the distinctions that we have put on that countries in africa did not become sanctuaries for dodie. russian money for oligarchs ill gotten gains for them to stash their airplanes. and they yards. absolutely shocking than any country can say . if you abstain emb united nations, i will ensure that i deal with you. this is absolutely blackmail. it is threatening, it falls outside of the united nations charter. and it's something that we are going to fight. as far as we can, then all of a sudden in august this year,
6:48 am
anthony blinkin was an africa. the u. s. state secretary. he was visiting 3 country south africa, the day of the ann rwanda. somehow managing to squeeze them into his busy schedule . but this knee jerk tall was also in res once and to counter the tor by long serving foreign minister of russia, sergey lover of the united states will not dictate africa's choices and neither should any one else. too often, african nations have been treated as instruments of other nations progress rather than the authors of their own. washington's economic interest in the continent really started waning about 2011 when crude oil exports to the united states that a dwindling but even the much hyped african groves and opportunities act, or a gore for shot that the deal failed between north america and sub saharan africa.
6:49 am
for good to be access in the american market duty free, but even vet, upon the year of his renewal in 2015 gathers the trade between the countries was down $8000000000.00. critic say the united states views africa as a situation to be handled rather than an opportunity between 272017 total trade between the united states and some foreign africa was down 54 percent. still all this at a time when chinese total investment was on the up and it's grown some 220 percent . and even though it's from a much smaller base, right, an investment on the continent have grown by a whopping 40 percent. says 2015 africa mostly youth demographic will
6:50 am
pay dividends in a decade or so. and the continent could become the manufacturing capital of the world. tens of millions of households are expected to get into the economic class. and that will increase africa's total spending power to about $2.00 trillion dollars to the global economy. but as americans and european allies weak of late in the game, they may just find that africa was never going to wait for them. cannibalization flat t enjoy is that a palestinian girl was shot dead during a raid in the west bank city of gin. and on sunday the usually military has admitted it's quote, highly probable idea of troops accidentally killed the teenager during a battle with gunman. hundreds of people gathered near a local hospital to moore in the 16 year old death,
