a to really have anything in this process and the solution should not be a kind of community, a solution. to meet with the headlines on asking international china hits the fact that a u. s. move to block sales of computer chips by launching a suit against washington at the world trade organization. a corruption scandal and gulping the parliament claims it's supposed victim with a deputy chaplain, dismissed from her post for the european commission seems to be overlooking the issue for the mean time. israel admits its, quote, highly probable that troops accidentally killed a teenaged, palestinian during a weekend rate in the west bank city of jeanine and peru to class

a state of emergency. after 2 protesters die in clashes with police crowds, meantime demanding immediate election with reporting all around the world live from moscow. it's anti international. we choose a big hitters. welcome to him. so china has hit back a u. s. move to block export control measures on computer chips. it's a well doing, so by launching a trade dispute this way, at the w t. i should say china is the one launching this dispute. it all comes off to washington passed a sweeping set of regulations in october, ultimately aimed at suppressing china's semiconductor industry well widowed or the program here. what are you to national? i had details without he's donald quarter right here in the studio. whoa, very, what we're seeing here right now is really an, a continuation of this trade war that's been going on since the trump

administration between the u. s. and china. this recent complained to the world trade organization from china's ministry of commerce comes after the us actually put export controls on chinese semi conductors back in october. now these export controls are aimed at preventing china from getting semiconductors anywhere in the world where they're potentially produced using american tools. so naturally, beijing said that this is an example of trade protectionism and they said that the u. s. is abusing export control measures. let's take a listen. in recent years, the united states as continuously generalize the concept of national security abused export control measures hindered normal international trade and chips and other products threaten the stability of the global industrial chain undermine the international economic and trade order violated international economic and trade rules violated basic economic laws and home, the interests of peaceful global development. it is a typical trade protectionist approach. interestingly enough,

this complaint actually comes to us days after china won a similar suit against the united states. the world trade organization said that the u. s. aluminum and steel tariffs that were enacted back in 2018 as part of former u. s. president. donald trump's trade war with china were violating the rules of international trade. so this really goes to show that, that, that, i mean, it should send a clear message that although the trump administration started this trade war and it's not in power anymore, the trade war is still continuing. yeah, we are, we're definitely seeing some stronger than usual woods coming out of beijing this time around. they really are kind of standing up stronger these days and certainly seems so we won't talk about it now, but we'll talk about re add a bit later. but when it comes to reactions from washington, what do we know sofa with the trumps metal tariffs? actually the, the washington is just basically rejected the w t o's ruling in that. and that's not something that's uncommon. it does that pretty often when things don't go its way. but in terms of the semiconductor export controls,

washington is saying is saying that this doesn't, i have to do. i mean this, that this has to, with us is the u. s. is national security concerns and so that the world trade organization is not the right forum to be having this discussion. as we have already communicated to the people's republic of china. these targeted actions relate to national security and the w t. o is not the appropriate forum to discuss issues related to national security. let's not forget, these are metal tariffs that the trumpet, ministration put forward in 2018. they were not just unpopular with china. they were also unpopular with some of the u. s. is traditional longstanding allies and this time china is not standing alone either. there's also turkey and switzerland who supported china's complaint that was lodged in the world trade organization as well. so we're gonna have to see how far the biden administration is willing to go to continue this trade war. that his predecessor started. i was talking with our author and financial commented to jim rogers just a bit earlier in the program. he believes it's

a dangerous move and detrimental as well to take such measures against china's semiconductors industry. whenever the u. s says something is always blames national security. at one point we were claiming that sugar had to be protected because of national security. let's suppose that china cannot important from the us. they're going to develop their own industry, and the u. s. is shooting itself in the foot. next, you know, we're going to have the chinese making the conductors as good as way you. that's not going to be good for the us. 40 years ago china was, was us, mary knew about sean ers right now. china is the 2nd largest economy in the world and soon will be the 1st. so i'm just gonna be in the world. so whatever, whatever my opinion doesn't matter because the facts are in china has been booming and wrong, spectacular in the last 40 years, much more so than the u. s. well, around has also a rock there between china and the american tech giant google. it's off the google

refuse to change your search results to display china's national anthem rather than a protest song. when use a search for hong kong, national anthem. the sound glory to hong kong was used by demonstrators during the mass protest in 2019. it was banned a year later on to security laws. however, it now comes out when googling the national anthem of the financial hub. the company says the ranking of search results is done by algorithms and it won't change listings manually. that is to spite a flea from hong kong authorities we actually asked google to pin the correct national and from on top of its page, but it refused. this is unbelievable. and hong kong people will not accept it. the hong kong government will definitely use all means to correct this situation. i was discussing the story earlier with international and independent china specialist. andrew long is normal at google practice. i have to list it the,

the highest search items on the top of the list, and some people pay google to do it. but on the other hand, google is an american company. and it can't just the data of people using it or the wall over. and that's why china long time ago already directed their own file wall just to prevent this from happening. but as far as this is a national end of this, from santa claus, hong kong, as part of china and hong kong, as part of charles nation at the national and the phone call is leslie at loop china. long did a hand application a which is wrong on closed order at, at, for, for a, for at least 2 or 3 years. i know a couple of years back used this kind of pocket this whole abroad to hong kong to sink by to symbolize that improvement. and of course, there are a lot of protesters, either genuine or pay for an old part of the american slot or

to i'm undermined. find it under my phone call, or some of them have already fled home called out there, they're all over the world. and it is too surprising that some of them take advantage of a google opportunity and to continue to promote beijing and, and, and also raise their, the so called banner of independence. all separate separate wisdom. but it also, google is a commercial company and always rely on their, their, their, their statement as a whole. what does this only part of business? so good to have you with us today. because the could the story right here. it's a big one of the corruption scandal that has erupt it this week around the e. u. parliament has seen the acts fall on the greek deputy chairman eva kylie. she's actually been dismissed from her post office. she was accused of money laundering and bribery. let sir take all they saw now and lift the lid on this story with arctic interpreter. rachel martha? good afternoon to you. rachel said,

the scandal has claimed as 1st victim. does that mean? now the story is getting up put to bed. so the scandal has europeans asking how deep the corruption rabbit hole really goes with you institutions. and where's european commission? president ursula underlined today. she's here in paris at french president emmanuel macros, conference for the resilience and reconstruction of ukraine, talking about how ukraine's energy needs have to be dealt with. and hey, what about europe's energy needs and europe's resilience. what about visor conference on back coming up soon when everybody gets to contribute to this discussion or, you know, when your planes crashing, are you supposed to put on your own oxygen mouth 1st before helping your child with there's the problem with this corruption scandal for the e, u is the detract from its well crafted messaging. they constantly drives home to specific points. the 1st point is, look how virtuous we are here in europe,

forcing our people to suffer for ukraine. it's like they're on the verge of forcing their own citizens to martyr themselves for ukraine through rising energy and inflating costs. so unelected brussels bureaucrats can aim for sainthood. status may be soon. it won't be queen ursula. it will be st. ursula. so when this corruption scandal, it shines a spotlight on a long standing own marta at the e u involving shady lobbying. well, it tarnishes their halo that they're constantly polishing which explains why european parliament presidents portrayed the scandal as something happening to the european union. not as something for which it's actually responsible or accountable through its practices or lack of lobbying related safeguards. have ellison make no mistake? the european parliament, their colleagues, is under attack. european democracy is under attack. an

hour away of open, free democratic societies are under attack. europe is just always the victim, right. the 2nd problem with the scandal for the you is that detracts from their anti russia rhetorical bombardment, campaign vander, line store wald journalists in brussels yesterday, and was really tight lipped when confronted by the brussels press corps. a journalist shouted at vander liners. she was leaving. you didn't answer a single one of the questions. well, that's because queen ursula wasn't interested in answer your question silly. she wanted to sing the blame russia song and you wouldn't give her a chance. so here she is making up for lost opportunities, performing it to day in paris, alongside mac home. we have seen how russia is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, seeking to paralyze ukraine. i think we do learn the lessons of these 10 months of atrocious russian war. what in target that war against ukraine's economy and the

most basic services he needs a firm response? oh, thank goodness putin is there to get the heat off of brussels. corruption in brussels seems to be a relative term and open to being used as a bargaining chip. the e has blocked funds to hungry. i'm here are the pretext that the countries institutions are so flimsy, that the cache could just be used to fuel corruption. well, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. there's an actual scandal at the you in fucking exactly that. but suddenly when hungry agreed to lift the veto of more funding for ukraine, then magically the funding became unblocked for hungry. so any so called corruption concerns just banished hungarian prime minister victor urban, had a good laugh about this on twitter. he posted a mean with a bunch of guys in suits laughing at the fact that the european parliament is

seriously concerned about corruption and hungary, the pressure tactics or tools as of underlying call them when threatening italy before they elected maloney used on national leaders to fall in line in the you is pretty grotesque. now apparently my co is facing diplomatic pressure to back down from even the thought of offering security guarantees for russia in any eventual peace deal. you know, there really is no room for independent thought and maybe that's why we are where we are right now with this corruption scandal in the you. rachel? thank you. ah, a palestinian girl was shot dead during a raid in the west bank city of janine on sunday. and the israeli military has submitted its quote, highly probable idea of troops accidentally killed the teenager during a battle with gunman discussed it. earlier with our correspondent, maria furnished a horrible incident indeed and sad to say yet another one. as israel's military

rates that have become an almost daily reality for the residents of the occupied west bank, here often lead to fatalities often included among civilian population and including among the children. this recent tragedy happened in the city of daneen in the northern part of the west bank, the 16 year old girl called john. i was shocked that near her house we have been able to speak to john his family. and this is how they describe the circumstances of this killing that they witnessed to humble others, but after these railey army stormed the jetting camp and started shooting. jenna was in the house looking for her pet cat. she opened the door and tried to get her cat into the cage. that is when the occupations soldier for 13 bullets of her, of which 4 bullets hit her body says about the valet elements from the shooting was close to us about 50 meters away or even less. the detective of the palestinian authority,

made preliminary investigations and found out that these railey soldiers were the ones who killed her. they examined the gunshots, which were extracted from her body, and proved to be identical with the ones phones inside the house. this terrible case has already attracted international attention. the un special representative for children and on conflicts is currently on her visit to the west bank and the gaza strip. and she claimed on monday that she is aware of the daily crimes committed against palestinian children. this is quotation, and she also said that she affirmed the you as close corp and coordination with the palestinian authority in order to protect palestinian children, quotation in light of the escalated israeli violations and settlers violence. israel though teams has a different position. this is what one of the members of these railey far right. jewish national for on potty claimed last week in an interview call. michelle silva corby navigable because of

a very clean at the almost suddenly the tilt high of love secrete cream. then you get a commercial shimoda name. remodel himself. you may say leave the hot buffer of alexi mouthful, a steel hook, a shrill, if he mouthful, a senior, difficult. that's a racist policy for a government to her. not going to tell me, though hominum. yours must not secured eliza kasheila visa. the u. s. has now also reacted calling for accountability after these railey army said a soldier likely accidentally short the 16 year old john a dad. let's take a listen. we do express our profound condolences to the family of jonah zak connor, the young teenage girl who was killed. we understand the idea of his undertaking an investigation to what happened. we hope to see accountability in this case. again, this is not the 1st case. unfortunately, the palestinian authority claims that since the beginning of the year alone, the israeli occupation forces exactly to this is the words they use more than

$52.00, palestinian children, the palestinian prime minister, called for an international investigation into the killing of john and her family. now host, that's all those responsible will be punished and they will be able to achieve justice for their beloved daughter to south america. now where a state of emergency has been announced in peru totally made protests, which have ton deadly in an effort to appease demonstrators that the countries new president has proposed moving a general election forward. but not until 2 years from now. this cd, the actual need i have decided to take the initiative to reach an agreement with the congress to move the general elections to april 2024 was promoted from vice president to head of state last week without being directly elected. a previous answer was removed from office off to try to dissolve congress often numerous attempts to impeach and approve is being gripped by mass protests for days

with demonstrators demanding snap elections or understand. several protesters reportedly killed the mid clashes with police. now, the off the president petro castillo, was arrested on coo charges offered, tried to install, emergency government. and we heard from john list and a writer on the reach, and i bet not, and he says castillo, is the victim of a political power. grab 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 protesters and they said is that these are non lethal munitions, but they've killed protesters. so clearly they're not really not only munitions. why are people protesting? that's the question that should be asked, because there was included talk 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 accuse is the elected president

castillo, of supposedly trying to carry out a crew 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 for g. marty, who was backed by the united states. he himself was guilty of everything that the media is falsely accusing pedro castillo. in fact, it was fuji murray, with the backing of united states who dissolved the congress and declared a dictatorship in the 1990 s. and he wrote a new constitution with our 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. i feel 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 cou, the reality is that the u. s. embassy is backing the real coup plotters led by dina . but who are the emperor right now? straight to don bass now, where local officials say 5 civilians have been killed. 5 wounded. it's following ukrainian artillery of tax on the city of don. yes. authority say kia forces conductive, dozens of similar attacks throughout the republic. in the past 24 hours, including targeting residential areas around town homes and shops will as badly damage a clinic as well in the regional capital took a direct hit. now it does kia, continues to crack down on religious figures deemed to be connected to russia. authorities of ordered punitive measures against several senior clergymen as dozens of orthodox christian sites are rated throughout the country and picking up the story for us. right now. here's our correspondent ecos, down off russia, the ultimate red rag for ukraine. since the start of the war, key of authorities have been spinning the witch hunt against anything russian. they

arrested politicians. they detained oligarchs. no one was immune, and nothing is sacred. now. president zalinski has imposed sanctions against 7 clergymen of the ukrainian orthodox church. but what sin did all these people of faith commit against ukraine will after the fall of the soviet union, the church remained under the authority of the moscow patriarchy, but come to the war. the you of see denounced and divorced russia, the church scrubbed, all mention of moscow from its statute in hope of atoning. but for key of that was not enough to grant absolution. when you call in, you call that those vol. we will never allow anyone to build an empire inside the ukranian soul. all body is responsible for ensuring national security must intensify measures to identify and counter the subversive activities of russian

special services in the religious environment of ukraine. and apply personal sanctions. the surnames will be made public soon, for the 7 clerks and question sanctions mean they will have their assets frozen. they are banned from land ownership and essentially restricted from traveling outside the country. and this is just the tip of the persecution, iceberg. hundreds of religious buildings, including some of the most sacred ones, have been rated by ukraine security services. and more than 800 people have been investigated. agents even crashed the funeral over ukrainian soldier, leaving the devastated mother to beg to leave them in peace. your pursuing gave them a good name on their way. such an approach by the authorities as inspired vigilante groups to hope on this

bandwagon to hear a group of ukrainian nationalists stormed a church in an attempt to have believers swapped prayers and sermons for singing. the national anthem, a you with a see is that the zalinski government is essentially paving the way towards the total ban of the ukrainian orthodox church. have prompted moscow to condemn this as intimidation. the ukrainian government has been at war with the russian orthodox church for a long time. i would say that this should be considered as another link in the chain of these military actions against the russian orthodoxy. and so far this is

the only official voice of condemnation in this anti church choir. which leaves cave with a very clear understanding that it has a total carte blanche over this. and make as done of reporting from the dumbass. our t. mean time we did hear from an italian journalist who's been working in don, yet he apparently has issues with the way his country's media has been covering the conflict a dog on that. there was a problem that the tele media uses videos from ukraine out of context. ordinary people cannot understand what the image is shown to them relate to, for example, a few days ago, a program on a state news channel featured a video clearly show in the dropping off ukrainian bombs on the central market in dannetta. but the journalist was talking about russian strikes on ukraine in territory. at that moment, the general public believed that they were watching footage of the bombing, a few crane and nuggets harry to have done esc personally. i don't know exactly

where our retail in media takes such videos from because they, i mean western any telling reporters they don't ask for information from us. they don't ask for the media. we have and at the same time, no one says that ukraine is bombing the central marketing done ask, you will not find a single mention of decent formation. it seems like the activities of all these news outlets are coordinated in the same way. the public in italy does not see a clear position of the russian federation in this war. they only see the interests of ukraine in italy as in other european countries. we have a lack of alternative media. the only sources of information, especially if we talk about what's presented to the general public. these are western sources. these are nato media. since all russian channels for one reason or another are unavailable. what does the italian and in general, all the western media say over and over again in the event of strikes and positions in the territories where the peaceful population of dom boss leaps,

they claim that only the russians attack these phrase is repeated constantly. at the same time, if someone accidentally mentioned similar episodes of ukrainian attacks, everyone immediately accepts the position of ukraine and trust to justify themselves by satan, that only russians attacked those cities. specifically to attract attention, which obviously is completely absurd. my colleague, you know, a nail was i speaking earlier with a former austrian foreign minister. karen, can i tell all about the conflict in ukraine but also what led to it? a cow can i so believes keith's lack of intention to ever uphold uminski deal showed the diplomacy at the end of the day. it never stood a chance. start with something that say, i think is interesting, quite a lot of people this past week development. during a recent and few former german chester angler merkel said that the minsk ceasefire agreements brokered by berlin and paris was an attempt to give key of time

to strengthen the military. it's a stunning admission that if, if true, isn't it? yes, definitely. because ah, it's fern, it's the southern destruction of diplomacy. yeah, there is a lot of trust put into this procedure. mens goes all about the procedure. and sir, we treated the minsk agreement in our talk sir. whenever we, we, we discussed the situation and he said, ukraine, it was like a hit twice in our like in a religious service. so your theory, pete's up phrases instead of freely checking on the crowned what is really happening. yes, of course there was to always see monitoring mission, but there was, i would say to little questioning to little checking and, and, and not enough firm. i'm following the procedures. so if chancellor marker has now to certain extent we wield well, it was all about giving time ukraine, and this is a big blow to diploma fear such,

well, this is the point that moscow has been making for some years that why aren't the minstrel agreements? why aren't it being adhered to and followed through because it took some time 201420152 hammer the might. so was russia right? all along in that it was being, it was being stopped or halted. why? it's difficult to talk to chat. sure. any action because i again, i would say minsk was about a procedure, it was about implementation and this implementation has not really been followed up . so this, this, this was the fundamental problem. and i remember very clearly in our talks, whiskey always see it was a really, that's such a kind of, of only repetitive, pointing out where this and that has to be done. but a very little questioning of it. exactly. and that should have been a more serious approach, not just outsourcing it to are some monitoring officials,

but really are taking it to their heart and, and think we have to understand or adapt the problems that moscow sees into implementation that not enough is happening. or there was no reporting whatsoever on what was the situation on the ground in houston, your crane earth. so it seemed like a far away conflict in a distant country and on everybody was busy with was other issues, very little reporting as well, by the way on what chancellor, former chancellor merkel at said this week in the west is not really getting any traction among media outlets cut european elite be afraid to take responsibility for, for what followed mince a yes. and also we have to bear in mind and those officials who wear in office back in 2014, when minsk it was done, was negotiated and put into action. what they are gone, i mean,

it was in frantic was president or launch in in the u. k, it was cameron in germany, it was char, it was and it was market. so i, people, we, we have seen a huge rotation in people in office and was damn cabinets going hi, officials coming and going. and there is snow continuity. last not enough continuity in really understanding what benz shook me. and this, this is a failure, thought your question is about responsibility. the people who spotted it are not anymore in office. and you can see more of that interview with a camera can i saw throughout the day here when at the international all read more about it at all, etc. dot com. in the meantime, we were talking about the top of the hour. hope you can join us ah.
