just go with a, with your headlines right now, and i'll see international as china hits back to the u. s. move to block sales of computer chips by launching a suit against washington at the world trade organization. a corruption scandal engulfing the parliament claims it's supposed to victim with a deputy chairman dismissed from her post for the european commission. certainly does for the time being seemed to be overlooking the internal issue. israel admits its, quote, highly probable. its troops accidentally killed a teenage palestinian during a weekend raid in the west bank city of germany and peru declared

a state of emergency off the 2 protesters die and flashes with police crowds continue demanding immediate a . well, it is a so good to have your company for this. i was program on our to international. your top stories are all lined up so china has hit back at a u. s. move to block export control measures all computer chips by launching a trade dispute of the w t. o. now it comes off to washington, passed a sweeping set of regulations in october, but basically aimed at suppressing china's semiconductor industry. art is donald quarter, gave me all the details just a little bit on well, rory, 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 complaint to the world

trade organization from china's ministry of commerce comes after the u. s. actually put export controls on chinese semiconductors 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 is continuously generalized. the concept of national security abused export control measures hindered normal international trade and chips and of 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 hom, the interests of peaceful global development. it is a typical trade protectionist approach. interestingly enough, this complaint actually comes just 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, we're violating the rules of international trade. so this really goes to show that i, 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. that certainly seems so we'll 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 trumpet? 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 was talking about earlier, where the author and financial comment had a jim rogers. now, he believed that washington's measures against china's semiconductor industry is

basically a dangerous and the counter productive move. over 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 to, you know, we're going to have the chinese making the semi conductors as good as way you. that's not going to be good for the us. 40 years ago, china was, wasn't us. mary knew about china right now. china is the 2nd largest economy in the world. will be the 1st. so i just got him in the world. so whatever, whatever my opinion doesn't matter because the facts are that china has been booming and wrong, spectacular in the last 40 years, much more so than the us. coming up shortly. here in the, our program you can find out how google and the hong kong authorities are certainly locking horns. it's over the issue of search results of national anthems. details

that come shortly the found the program, the holo corruption scandal that erupt this week, or on the edu. parliament has seen the acts fall on the greek deputy chairman ab, kylie. she's been dismissed from her post office. she was accused of money laundering on bribery. let's get some details now without the contributor rachel marston. so this corruption scandal as europeans asking how deep the corruption rabbit hole goes with you institutions. and where's european commission president ursula of underline? well, she was in paris tuesday with french president, emmanuel, michael at his conference for the resilience and reconstruction of ukraine, talking about ukraine's energy needs. hang. what about europe's energy needs and europe's resilience? when do we get to talk about that? when does a re get to come up with diplomatic solutions to that ever?

when your plane is crushing? are you supposed to put on your own oxygen mass 1st, before helping your child with there's the problem with this corruption scandal for the e. you is that tracks from, it's well crafted messaging, they constantly drive home 2 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 monitor themselves for ukraine through rising energy and inflation cost. just so unelected, brussels bureaucrats can name for sainthood status. so when this corruption scandal shines as spotlight are a long standing o marta at the e u involving shady lobbying, it tarnishes their halo that they're constantly polishing, which explains why the european parliament's president portrayed the scandal as something happening to the e. u. not as something for which it's actually responsible or accountable through its practices or lack of lobbying related safeguards. 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. the southern problem with the scandal for the e u is the distract from their anti russia rhetorical bombardment, campaign vander, line stonewall journalists in brussels yesterday and was tight lipped when confronted by the brussels press corps jealous shouted at vander, line as she was leaving you didn't answer a single one of the questions. well, that's because queen ursula was not interested in answering your question silly. she wanted to sing the blame russia song. so corruption in brussels seems to be a relative term and open to being used as a bargaining chip as well. the e has blocked funds to hungry under the pretext that the countries institutions are so flimsy, that the cache can be used to fuel corruption. talk about the pod calling the

kettle black, but suddenly when hungry agreed to lift, it's vito of more funding for ukraine. then magically the funding for hungry became unblocked. any so called corruption concerns just magically vanished on gary prime minister victor or bon had a good laugh on twitter about all of this about the iep corruption scandal he posted in me with a bunch of older guys in suits. laughing at the fact that the european parliament is seriously concerned about corruption and hungry when they're facing a scandal at their own. the pressure tactics or tools as bonder lang, call them when she was threatening italy before elected. maloney used on national leaders to fall into line in the u is actually pretty grotesque and pretty flagrant . now, apparently my coal is the one facing diplomatic pressure to back down from even the thought of offering security guarantees for russia in any eventual p steel. there's

really no room, apparently for independent thought in the e. u and well, maybe that's why they are facing the scandals. they are now. well, the e u is also currently trying to agree upon a 9th package of sanctions against moscow affecting a number of sectors all the way from banking to mining. however, the former austria and vice chancellor hines, christians, trucker believes the sanctions already in place and not having the desired effect. i don't 60 have been used to believe of sanctions or form of self harm against one's own population. today we are experiencing dramatic shortages in the raw material sector in the gas sector in the electricity sector in the energy sector in general, but also price explosions, which of course, affect industry the economy and above all, the citizens and the people of this country who have to experience massive price increases, in some cases, households are experiencing a 6 fold increase in prices. people are really severely burdened and struggling

with poverty. many companies are on the verge of closing down, which is accompanied by rising unemployment. that means of course, massive insecurity for the population. this development has had the effect that we have to fear that inflation will continue to rise dramatically until at least march next year. but also there are a number of insolvency, some bankruptcies that will continue to rise due to the sanctions we are doing without russian gas, cheap, russian gas in which a lot has been invested. and now we are seeing that, of course, due to the sanctions policy that is being implemented in the interests of nato and the e u. we are suddenly supposed to switch to american fraction gas, which is very expensive. so all these developments are, i think not entirely well thought out, i missed the past piece initiatives on the part of the european union. unfortunately, i do not see any european political leaders who want to approach the negotiating table and call for a peaceful resolution. heading to don bass now,

where local officials say 5 civilians killed and 5 wounded after ukrainian artillery attacks on the city of don gets authorities ikea forces conducted dozens of similar attacks throughout the republic in the past 24 hours, including targeting residential areas, homes and shops will f, badly damaged in a clinic and the regional capital also took a direct hit. now it all comes as key of continues to crack down on religious figures deemed to be connected with russia. authorities aborted a punitive measures against several senior clergymen as dozens of orthodox christian sites right now being rated throughout the country. let's get the details now with the correspondence on location eco, donal 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 a unique global that those of all of 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 means 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, pursuing a job where it was been. let us go on their way. i live on 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 praise and summons for singing the

national anthem. i am on it with fears 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 key

of with a very clear understanding that it has a total carte blanche over this. and make as done of reporting from the don't boss r t y. before we go live on the story or the u. s. defense department as mulling whether to send more troops to ukraine, the track, the vast amount of weapons given to kia. that's according to senior pentagon officials at washington as a small number of soldiers are already assigned to making sure weapons reach their intended recipient. however, their only said to have visited 2 locations outside he at the track supplies, officials are said to be came to pick up the pace of the checks before january when they will be more pressure for accountability from house republicans. meanwhile, a new visual graphic has been published by an independent american data scientist about washington, a to ukraine. well, basically have a look at each door representing a $100000.00. you can see the red dots represent military aid,

blue for the key government, the yellow dots, humanitarian aid, the total sum. get this more than $100000000000.00. well, let's discuss this now with a former pentagon senior security policy analysts, michael luce, joining us here on the program. mr. miller, always good to see you. thanks for coming. the program, especially. so quickly here. well, what do you, what do you make the pentagon site? it's a to send us troops to track the weapons send to you crane. why the sudden need for accountability? well, the sudden need for accountability is that republicans increasingly are asking for it. and secondly, they're going to be in charge of the house of representatives come january. and they have signalled already that they plan to scrutinize more more of these giveaways to ukraine because they cannot because they don't feel that they, that there's justification for that amount of, of money. secondly,

for the pentagon now to announce this coming at this time is to show congress the incoming congress, especially that they are doing something about it. but the reality is, it's all ridiculous that if it's just window dressing, there's no way that any accountability will ever be achieved. an effect, the people who are supposed to be doing the accountability still reside at the u. s embassy in keys and they're only a handful and they haven't, except for the 2 that you mentioned, they went out to very safe zone. they are not going to where the actual equipment is. and so they're basically just hugging their deaths all day and hoping for accurate reports from reliable people in the field. i presume they're going to be using us contractors that they can rely on to give them some symptoms

of what's out there, but in no way will there be this the accountability that congress has been expecting. but michael, with this conflict now ongoing since well, mid to the end of february of this year. i mean right now with this sudden quote from washington. is it, is it a case of closing the stable door after the horse is already bolted? i mean, who was trucking the weapons, while the pentagon wasn't looking, there was no way they were going to be able to track it. they have no idea what's going in. and even if the equipment is there and there's, there's no telling or follow up on what, how it's going to be utilized. it could all of a sudden just disappear but maybe destroyed in quotes. but it could be often and going off into some other location. this is, this is, this is just a window dressing move. there is no way that supposedly

a handful of military people from the office of defense controls, which is under the defense intelligence agency, inside the embassy will be able to have any accountability whatsoever we've. so we've seen this story so many times before, especially in afghanistan, tens of billions of dollars of equipment over time had been lost to the afghans and there's, even though we had i g report on it, there's no way to account for it. so there is no penalty, so what's going to be the, what's going to be the downside, the only day, the only right thing to do is to cut it off because there is no accountability. and that equipment could wind up in other military's or with terrorists, and that's a very, very strong possibility. and i'm, i'm very concerned that this is what's going to be the outcome. and it's going to be spreading weapons everywhere. michael sources claim it will involve only

a handful of troops, but frankly, considering how many weapons are being sent. will that be enough? and then perhaps, would you expect the mission to grow? no, it's a farce because you're putting us troops inside of a country like ukraine that's supposed to be in which we're not supposed to be having a physical presence. but this is how wars and build ups begin with. so called advisors and before you know it, it, it grows and grows. and i think that this is something that's going to create greater problems for the united states in terms of in involvement. and then russia can definitely link that the united states is engage heavily in a proxy war against russia. and then that could, that could cause even greater problems in the future and even diminish whatever

cooperation there is, ongoing right now between russian and the united states. and we saw some level of cooperation with the exchange of, of individuals, but the, even that good stuff. and i think that this is we are just digging ourselves in the whole. what this represents really is that we don't know what we're doing, where we have no end game to this. and that is really tragic and very, very dangerous, but of having no end game, but the continued pumping of weapons into ukraine and no one apparently certainly from the western side. if you're interested in peace talks, i mean how, how often is it might go about once a month or so the prevalent says we're ready for peace talks. and so let's keep saying, no, we don't ready for talks. i mean, we understand, michael, we understand that, you know, he's not the only one pulling the strings that are in kia. but michael, if only we had more time michael maloof or former pentagon senior security policy analyst joining us live, thanks so much. thank you. wrote a palestinian girl was shot dead during

a raid in the west bank city of janine on sunday at the israel military has admitted its quote, highly probable idea of troops accidentally killed a teenager during a battle with gunman to jerusalem. now, with our correspondent maria, finishing a horrible incident indeed and sad to say, yet another one as israel's military rage that have become an almost daily reality for the residence 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 shot dead 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 the humble evidence below. 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 at her, of which 4 bullets hit her body. some of the value elements from the shooting was close to us about 50 meters away or even less. the detectives of the palestinian authority, made preliminary investigations and found out that these railey soldiers were that was who killed her. they examined the gunshots, which were extracted from her body, and proved to be identical with the ones found 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 affirms 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 claim last week in an interview call. michelle sale is gonna be a new global because of a very clean at the almost sog me that you have left secrete cream, the new, the commercial shimoda la name, remodel himself. you may say leave the hut before or ill iffy mouthful esteem were hook a shrill if he mouthful a senior difficult. that's a racist policy for a government to her. not going to tell me that a harmonium gears must not secured. eliza kasheila visa. the u. s. has now also reacted calling for accountability after these rail the army said a soldier likely accidentally showed the 16 year old john a dad. let's take a listen. we do express our profound condolences to the family of jonah zak khana,

the young teenage girl who was killed. we understand the idea is 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 this year alone, the israeli occupation forces exaggerated. this is the words they use more than 52, palestine and children, the palestinian prime minister, a cold for an international investigation into the killing of john on her family. now host said, well 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, it's amid protests which have turned deadly. in an effort to appease demonstrators, the country's new president has proposed moving a general election forward. but not until 2 years from now. a, this cd,

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. miss miss boy, a was promoted from vice president the head of state last week without being directly elected previous us. it was removed from office off to trying to resolve congress. often numerous attempts to impeach and peru was being gripped by mass protests for days would demonstrate his demanding staff elections. or we understand several protesters proportionally been killed him in classes with police. the after president pedro castillo was arrested on crude charges. author tried to install the emergency government, a peruvian activist, danielle, or his and journalist under right, or on the region bend. northern both believe castillo is the victim of a political power grab. obviously, that is this call a relation of the information in which they are even blaming. look a feel of people that are be motivated by the police who is under the power of the

network. a lot of the process here are against the whole north this government. the gc made growth is east the same brought this against that by what the haven't lead it will be. and people, the site will be, are both in the market at the system that we have elected fatal. see you as a president and they have in respect to these since the beginning, the response of the current government in peru has been very violent. we have seen that in police are shooting large balls of metal at protesters and they say those 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 a, could a 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 elected president castillo,

of supposedly trying to carry out a crew when in reality, he's the victim of a qu, around has erupted between china and the american tech giant google. us off the google refuse to change your search results to display china's national anthem, rather than a protest song when used to search for hong kong, the national anthem. the song or glory to hong kong was used by demonstrate his during a protest in 2019. it was actually banned a year later on the security laws. however, it now comes up when googling the national anthem of the financial hub. company says the ranking of search results is done by algorithms and it won't change listings manually. that is despite a plea from authorities in hong kong, 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. so we

discussed the whole and some dispute with international and independent china specialist. and drew line is normal practice to list the the highest search item on the top of the list. and some people pay who to do it, but. busy the other hand, google is an american company, and they can't just the data of people using it on the wall, but, and that's why a long time ago, already erected daryl file was just to prevent this from happening. but as far as these and national ends sort of goes all call is part of try to call the bottom of the nation, the national, the end of a phone call at the national china. but all the other hand which on hold for at least 2 or 3 years a couple of years back use this kind of book this abroad to hong kong to think.
