a with ah, the salad headlines on off the international t, as in china hits back to us, 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 its 1st victim. the deputy chairman, dismissed from a post with the european commission for the mean time does seem to be overlooking the issue. israel admits it's quote, highly probable. it's troops accidentally killed, a teenage palestinian during the weekend rate in the west bank city of denise ida

peru declare a state of emotion. so you, off to, to protesters, die in the classroom with at least the crowds mean time demanding immediate election with your world headlines from moscow. it's r t international from the entire news team here. a very well welcome to you. so china has hit back at a u. s. move to block export control measures on 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, aimed at well suppressing china's semiconductor industry. earlier in this program here at odyssey, i had donald quarter in the studio with details. 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 complained 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 list. 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 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 home. 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 were violating the rules of international trade. so this really goes to show 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 or on they really are kind of standing up stronger these days. certainly seems so who and 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 trump 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 as 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 metal tariffs that the trump administration 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 author and a financial company that a jim rogers, he joined us a bit or other in the program. now he believes that washington's measures against china's semiconductors industry is not only dangerous, but actually a very counter productive move over the us says something is always blames national

security. at one point we were climbing the 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 u. s. 40 years ago, china was, was us barely knew about china 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. and i just a bit later in the program here on our to you can find out how google and the hong kong authorities are really locking horns of a search results for national anthem,

which would give you details on that interest. a few minutes the meantime to hold a corruption scandal that wrapped it this week around the parliament has seen the acts fold on the greek deputy chairman eva kylie. she has been dismissed from her post after she was accused of money laundering on bribery. we can get some more detail, some of the find a points not with auntie contributor rachel must. 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 and 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 is a re get to come up with diplomatic solutions? did i ever, when your plane is crushing, are you supposed to put on your own oxygen asked 1st before helping your child with

there's the problem with it's corruption scandal for the e. u is than trucks 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 to rising energy and inflation costs. just so unelected brussels bureaucrats can name for sainthood status. so when this corruption scandal shines a spotlight on a long standing or marta at the 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 for 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 2nd 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 and your las 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 cash could be used to fuel corruption. talk about the pot 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 on blocks. any so called corruption concerns just magically vanished. hungarian prime minister victor or bon had a good laugh on twitter about all 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 gander. 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 to don bass now, where local officials say 5 civilians killed 5 wounded following ukrainian artillery attacks on the city of bon yet already se kia forces conducted dozens of similar attacks throughout the republic. in the past 24 hours, including targeting residential areas, homes and shops will badly damaged even a clinic and the regional capital that okay, direct hit. now it comes as key of continues to crack down on religious figures being to be connected with russia. authorities have ordered punitive measures against several senior clergyman, dozens of orthodox christian sites are currently being rated throughout ukraine. is correspondent 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 in, you call 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, your pursuing. he's a good to go on there with i met 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 swore prayers and sermons for singing. the national anthem, and here 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 dumbass our t. it's been earlier my colleague, you know, neil was joined here in the studio with a former austrian foreign minister. karen can i so they talked about the conflict in ukraine and ultimately what led to it? like, how can i so believe that key evs, lack of intention to ever uphold uminski called showed the diplomacy of the end of the day. it just never stood a chance. start with something that se i think is interesting, quite a lot of people this past week development. during a recent and few former german chancellor, anglo 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 an, it's a southern destruction of diplomacy. noah has a lot of trust put into this procedure, men's course all about the procedure and turning. we treated the minsk agreement in our talk. so whenever we, we, we discussed the situation in east ukraine. it was like early twine in our like in a religious service, sir, your theory pizza and phrases instead of freely checking on the crowned what is really happening? yes, of course there was to always ye monitoring mission. but there was, i would say to little questioning to little checking and, and, and not enough firm we should have following the procedures saw if chancellor marika has now a certain extent we real well it was all about giving time. you're free and it was 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 men screw agreements? why aren't it being adhered to and followed through because it took some time 201420152 hammer their might. so was russia right? all along in that it was being, it was being stopped or halted. well, you see it's difficult to cheer any action because i again, i would say minsk was about a procedure. it was about implementation and this implementation has not really been a followed up. so this, this, this was the fundamental problem. and i remember very clearly in our talks was to always see it was a really, that's such a kind of, of only repetitive, pointing out to where this and that has to be done. but a very little questioning of it. exactly. and that should have mean 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 death a, at the problems that moscow sees in the implementation that not enough is happening or there was no reporting whatsoever on what was the situation on the ground in houston, ukraine. i saw it, it seemed like a far away conflict in a distant country. and so everybody was busy with was other issues, very little reporting as well. by the way on what chance laura, former chancellor merkel it said this week in the west is not really getting any traction among media outlets. could european elites be afraid to take responsibility for, for what followed mince a yes. and also we have to bear in mind and those officials where in office, back in 2014, when minsk it was um, was negotiated and put into action. what they are gone. i mean,

it was in front of us president or launch in, in the u. k, it was cameron in germany was charged with mckesson. so people, we, we have seen a huge rotation in kipling, office and with them cabinets going hi, officials coming and going. and there is no continuing, there was not enough continuity in really understanding what ben should be and this, this is a failure or questions about responsibility. the people who fax it or not anymore, and office the u. s. defense department is mulling over whether to send more troops to ukraine to track the vast amount of weapons being pumped into here that's according to n b c. news. washington says a small number of soldiers are already assigned to making sure a weapons reach their intended recipient. however, they're only such visited, 2 locations outside here to track supplies. officials are said to be came to pick

up the pace of the checks before january when they will be much more pressure for accountability from the house. republicans meanwhile, have a look at this new visual graphic has been published by an independent american data scientist about washington's a, to ukraine, each dot representing a $100000.00. you can see the red dots represent military aid, blue for the key government and the yellow dots, humanitarian aid, total some. what over a $100000000000.00? interesting, a side note here. the original video depicting the flow of aid goes on for more than 2 minutes. while i discussed this with a former pentagon senior security policy analysts, michael maloof, he doesn't believe accountability can be achieved in ukraine just well given the vast amount of money and weapons already handed over 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 that there's justification for that amount 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. it's, it's, it's just window dressing. there's no way that any accountability will ever be achieved. i presume they're going to be using us contractors that they can rely on to give them some semblance of what's out there. but in no way will this be this, the accountability that congress has been expecting. a palestinian girl was shot

dead during a raid in the west bank city of janine on sunday. the israeli military had admitted its quote, highly probable idea of troops accidentally killed a teenager during a battle with gunman. arthur murray, phenomena is with us with more information in jerusalem. 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 the gianna, 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 others. but after these really armies stormed the german camp and started shooting. jenna was in the house looking for her pat. captain,

she opened the door and tried to get her cat into the cage that he went. the occupation soldier for 13 bullets at her, but out of which 4 bullets hit her body with about the violin. yeah. little something that the shooting was close to us about 50 meters away or even less. but 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 referred to you as close cooperation and coordination with the palestinian authority in order to protect palestine and 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. lucille sillies gore b. a niece gobbled herself very clean. at the almost sudden me that you have left c keith graham. then you get a commercial shimoda name, remodel himself. you may say, leave the hut boffa, or alexey my old philistines, before i shall, if he mode for the seniority. that's a racist policy for a government to have nothing to tell me though, the harmonium gives margin of secured eliza kasheila. visa, the u. s. has now also reacted calling for accountability after these railey 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 connor,

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 word they use more than 52, palestine and children. the palestinian prime minister had called for an international investigation into the killing of john and her family. now hope that 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 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 actual need i have decided to take the initiative to reach an agreement with

the congress to move the general election to april 2024. before i was promoted from vice president to head of state last week, without being directly elected previous as it was removed from office off to try to dissolve. congress often numerous attempts to impeach him through has been gripped by mass protests for days demonstrate his demonic stuff. election, several protesters have been reportedly killed and fashions with the lease. now, the altitude president pedro castillo was arrested on the true charges after you tried to install an emergency government. and i spoke with peruvian activist daniella ortez. she's a journalist there, and also i spoke with her right through the region bed, northern both of them believing castillo is the victim of a political power grab. obviously, that is the call. the police of the information in which they are even blaming. look, i see your of people that are be motivated by the police who,

he's under the power of the network. a lot of the process here are being, being a whole new are this a government the made. it is the same. growth is against by what the having led there will be. and people, the site will be, are both in the market system that we have elected. then it will see you suppressive in and they haven't respected these beginning. the response of the current government in peru has been very violent. we have seen that police are shooting large balls of metal protesters and they say that it says 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 coup d'etat that over through the democratically elected president of through 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 coup when in reality he's the victim of a qu. you can check out that story further without sister channel archie espanol to the mean time off. you go to court also has some big write ups about the laser clash with them for the political issues, i should say. in the meantime, thanks for joining us. we are back with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk with

ah with mm welcome to was apart. as shakespeare contended for centuries ago, war makes for strange bedfellows. a principle that turkey seems to have taken too hard in the current ukrainian conflict. on the one hand present, aradonda calls on nature to take concrete steps to deter the so called russian aggression. on the other hand,

anchor keeps deepening its relationship with moscow and handsomely benefiting from it. what is turkey's game? well, to discuss it, i am now joined by you now to become a member of the turkish parliament. and the countries form ambassador to re breton, and there's ever john, it's a great pleasure to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for inviting me. now. i mentioned the war in ukraine in my introduction, and we are going to mar the 10 month anniversary of with soon. and what's interesting about it is it is a very peculiar synchronicity because you and your party issued a statement 2 days before the official launch of that operation in which you warrant about the increased risk of a burning conflict. did you see that were coming before it began that the war itself, but if we actually predicted that kind of a military operation, and we simply thought that it would be dangerous for the whole region. because

since the disintegration of the former soviet union, turkey has developed to equitable relations both with russia and ukraine. and both countries are neighbors at the black sea by the sea side of course. but of course, if those 2 countries start to some benefit to aggression or how to conflict to that, but of course create the serious danger for the whole agent. that was the reason why we wanted to reach that it wouldn't happen. and we also explained that they do not recognize the developments indeed done. it's a later on in your speech before the council of europe, your call, this operation unjustified and unprovoked and described it not as a war between russia, ukraine, but as a war between democracy and authoritarianism. even if i take this contention without arguing, excepting that russia is indeed an authoritarian state and your crane is a burgeoning democracy. do you think a story.
