i my sorry that i decided to fight for my country. no, no. could i have done things differently? yes, absolutely. do i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything? absolutely. ah, the russian on chinese leaders prepare for talks today with the most pressing regional issues affecting both countries expected to help the agenda rob beijing hits back at western criticism over its removal of co had restrictions coming after the same nations called for china to do just that kind of footballing i, con palais, has done the brazilian past the way, 8th, 82 in his homeland, or for a long battle with company with

revenue catching the program from today. welcome to moscow. on the news hour on art, my name's una, normally russian president vladimir put on chinese leader. she jin pain are set to whole talks by a video link later this hour. the kremlin, say, is they're expected to exchange views on current regional issues affecting the 2 countries. first and foremost, we will discuss bilateral russian chinese relations. as you know, there has been a rapid increase in the volume of trade. it's of course, very important to exchange views on the most pressing regional problems. our leaders will discuss these problems in the spirit of a true strategic partnership. meanwhile, the us states department has improved the potential sale of a $1800000000.00 worth of anti tank systems to taiwan. amid storing tensions between washington and basing over the island. now about 2 a recently you remark $10000000000.00. if u. s. military aid for taiwan,

which china considers its sovereign territory. beijing has been conducting military drills. the biden administration doubles down on a commitment to, ty pays independence movement. the chinese foreign ministry also offered this stern morning. sure, gentlemen, generally realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is a common will of all the sons and daughters of china and an irresistible historical trends. we believe that the broad masses of taiwan compatriots have a profound sense of righteousness and will not serve as cannon fodder for the separatists forces of taiwanese independence or tensions escalated again. this week when the us armed forces, spokes person said, a chinese fighter jet came within a run 3 meters of a u. s. military aircraft in the china sea, forcing it to take a bass of maneuvers to avoid a fatal collision. charla has yet to comment about the claims issues between

beijing and washington really did come to a head in august after us. hi speaker, nancy pelosi visited taiwan. after that other us lawmakers on foreign delegations began chewing up to visit the island. the move sparked outrage from china, which in turn conducted unprecedented lie fire. drill near telling was asian of 1st specialist ross, find gold said the u. s. public supports sending weapons to taiwan because they think it helps support them. so many different things in other organizations, both in the united states or in europe, as well as here in taiwan. they frequently paul the public. again, whether in europe, us or taiwan, about support for sending us troops, or in some cases your european troops. if there is a military conflict between taiwan and china and we do see some polls that show higher levels of support, but certainly far from the overwhelming level of support. and frankly,

in recent months, there's been a number of polls where the u. s. public seems inclined to follow the ukraine model, which be that would be that, should there be a conflict support sending weapons, but don't support sending us personnel to defend taiwan. so message of supporting fellow democracy, even if people want to argue about how small democracies are, but did message that we should support if our democracy this is still very strong and it's popular in the united states. whether that's with members of congress who are with the general public and this message goes down very well. meantime china cues, western media outlets of miss representing this situation in the country after strict anti cobit measures were lifted. now, a number of nations that previously urged beijing to remove the barriers have imposed travel restrictions on chinese nationals and renewed fears of the virus.

spreading ortiz, marina costs rebels be looking deeper into the issue. it's the case on damned if you do this. and if you don't know, the china is relaxing, it's shred, 0 comb, with policies after 3 long years, which it says it informs as the expense. so it's the economy. but for the sake of its people, western media are having a field day with headlines like b for did you know about as of may this year, more than 1000000 people have died from call it in the u. s. we learned that more than 1000000 americans have now died from the disease a milestone. we didn't want to think about, but new was coming it pandemic that's far from over. that's more than any country in the world now did was see the same hysteria in the media as we're seeing now with china. of course, not as the us took the headline lead in the number of deaths and cases during the pandemic or american singled out and forth to be tested more than other world

travelers. know china is asking how come a small number of western media have deliberately hyped up and even misrepresented china's covert policy adjustment. and yet avoided reporting on the deficiencies and heavy price paid in their own countries called response. this is nothing but double standards and is clearly against journalistic ethics. just a few weeks ago when we saw dozens of protest across various cities in china against the country, strict cove and measures, western leaders were keen to push bathing to compromise and meet the protesters, demands. calling susan, being an authoritarian dictator. china has to figure out a way forward on dealing with was covered a way for that answers the of the health needs, but also address the needs of people to lockdown is not a policy that we support here. but obviously there are people in china that,

that have concerns about that and their protesting that. and we believe they should be able to do that piece for i think we're seeing the chinese people speak up for more freedom against the coven lockdown policies. i support that, well, what happened? you got what you wanted, didn't you? and now people are changing their soon applaud in china's original success in containing the virus and saying that now it's a disaster. even japan, which was asking china to relax its quarantine measures just a month ago, is now afraid of chinese travelers and in america. as always, the double standards are comical. remember when the by the lead ministration will sneer in trump's china travel band at the start of the pandemic as racist. no republican president nor democratic president, we have racist, and they've existed, they tried to get elected resumes. the 1st one that has, and i was like chris, this is we're credible your president is most needed. that explains what we should

and should not do. this is no time for donald trump record of esther xenophobia her circle. jennifer, fast forward to this. if you've been to china get ready because the cobra tests are back, even for those who have been vaccinated. so what was the plan, or is it more of a make it up as you go along kind of approach, as long as it's against china? who knows either way, it's clear that in today's reality, whatever beijing comes up with, it's wrong. it locks people up authoritarian. it opens up its reckless and that's right to the world. but maybe it should be about letting countries sort their problems out themselves. the bell roots has summoned the ukrainian ambassador on allegations about an urgent ukrainian missile was shot down over bel russian territory. these are the remnants of the es, 300 project of the incident did not cause any casualties. ukraine's military issued

a statement saying the missile could have been a stray weapon that had been meant to defend against a russian attack. bell russian states media has reported up the missiles warhead did not explode and would be safely destroyed. but while kiev another central ukrainian regions engage their ur defenses on thursday residential areas in dunbar came under a barrage of artillery attacks by at ukrainian troops with least a dozen nato grade. hi, maurice rockets reportedly shot residential areas in the loop ganske republic, while a neighboring done yet local official say 18 missiles were fired of several populated areas. the the residents there are say, slope blanket and parts of the regions administrative center and no immediate

injuries were reported to the man simply no less. the king of football has died pele. the brazilian passed away, not the age of 82 in his homeland, for a long battle with cancer bellies. daughter confirmed the sporting legend step thing he had suffered multiple oregon failure due to colon cancer regarded of footballs, greatest, buying many l. a one the world cup with brazil, 3 times the only player ever to do. so. he also still holds the record of the youngest. they are to score up the tournament. just 17 years old. there's lot a dozen gold like figure in his whole nation. the striker grew up in poverty, there now devoted his life off the field to supporting those in need by establishing many charities to help impoverish children around the world. for sales government occurred 3 days of official

a morning following his death. well, we would like to bring you know parts of an exclusive interview, rti did with pele, dedicated to the previous work up here in russia, where the icon showed his views on sport and life. i saw my father. he was with another players in my house to to listen the game to that that didn't have to be. then i saw my father cried with his friend, i didn't understand that. why am i crying? because they always, they say me, ok, main them guy main them. glad we got the fun somebody to make the connection. but the connection some time go out and they say the father, we want the walk up. we want to go up. i have to go outside to tell to my father you so we will, but was a good when the case is a different order that was very important to me because

a lot of 70 i was my 1st club. well, they go up, there was a child who rose from poverty to become a true global superstore valley, as widely remembered for his humanitarian work as well as the scholarship contribution to the beautiful gate term he's credited. you can tell further into the legends legacy and r t dot com lots of attributes to the read their to another obituary today to tell you about fernand, british fashion, designer, inactive as vivian westwood has died of the age of 81. she passed away, surrounded by her family in london. westwood was known as the queen of extreme fashion, with her punk style in the 1970s, making its way into the global arena. the business woman was also a prominent supporter of with felix founder julian assange. she attended numerous

protests demanding freedom for the jail journalists. westwood spoke to r t several times, including in 2016 when she offered her views on the host of world issues. we often stop the rotten financial system because that is the means by which they control the whole world. this no opposition and we have to build that opposition because you have to work through governments. you have to give them a feeling that they're being overpowered by either the opinion against them who want of all the people want to save the world instead of wreck it by continuing with the rotten financial system. it causes war of course, and it causes climate change and it's designed to create poverty. this rotten financial system is very simple. everything is connected, war is connected with the rotten financial system because wars are waged for land

and for watts in the land. now, because the wreck in the planet and taken everything up and also for cheap labor, you know, there were slaves as that is what was, were for, for originally. that's what, let's deal fortnoy. and so, and it's all to do with these few people, this 1000000 people who have the power in the world, and they want all that they're playing the game, like everybody's pawns in their game, you know, and so war is directly to do with the rotten financial system, that is the cause of all our problems. what we've got to do is promote the idea of what a wonderful wild, the green economy will be. paper will be equal to each other. so the eeoc, you'll get cold to instead of consumption. everybody sucking up. you'll get human beings become in better human beings live ever been before you'll get a paradise. ukraine's president zalinski has extolled the

countries openness and freedom in an address to the national parliament. as he described the importance of a unified global leadership on the strength of the eu. that's while also signing legislation, paving the way for a further clumped down on free speech in ukraine. and now we are truly one with the world, with the strongest, with the freest in the world. we restore faith and values to millions of people in different countries. well, zalinski say the ukraine is one with the quote, freest in the world is like that person who's really kind of mediocre at best. and who walks up to you and says, hey, we could pass for twins and you take it as an insult because you really didn't. thank you. look that bad. zalinski basically just did that to the entire western world. maybe zalinski is just high on all the comparisons. in the western press between himself and former world war 2 era, british prime minister, winston churchill in the wake of zalinski, addressed to

u. s. congress last week. you know, churchill war air raid overalls to the white house in 941 zelinski dress for his speech in front of congress. like he was a courier in the building, making a delivery and accidentally took a wrong turn into the house chamber. churchill said, we will never surrender and well, so did zalinski with that very unique phrase. you know, so well, yeah, pretty much twins. so now that he's church of double guess of the figures and making ukraine the west twin would probably work as well. the west has freedom of worship and under zelinski and ukraine, well, they don't. zalinski secret police have rated monasteries across ukraine, even a convent full of nuns and arrested dozens of priests for no justifiable reason whatsoever. and in clear violation of the crating constitution, which no longer matters and in the face of this, the, by the ministration has said nothing,

not one word. instead they just continue to push to send zalinski more tax dollars . so naturally, zalinski has become much bolder. why wouldn't you, so maybe not quite totally twins with the west there, but at least ukraine upholds the notion of political freedom. right? well, earlier this year, zalinski government suspended 11 political parties under the pretext that they were to pro russian. but in zalinski is mind, ukraine is just like europe identical, really same values, which is why he said in his speech on wednesday, that now is the time for ukraine to join the european union. ukraine is twins with the e. u. like zelinski is twins with churchill, so you know, what's the hold up? jessica means that both enjoy the same which haunting of the political opposition or of citizens who speak russian. and both have the same kind of diplomatically savvy elected officials. what will we do have to do coupon her son? if the police doesn't do its job till the end? i don't think that will happen. not this time. the price is too high. so if the

justice system does not work with the traitor is than the military will do it, there is no other way. i talked to the soldiers and that is what they're saying. they will simply shoot them like dogs. so if you crane is one with the west as zalinski sadness speech to parliament than any, it's the west that should be wondering if it really looks as bad as ukraine. maybe it isn't so free or democratic or without corruption, as it likes to think. so really, is it any wonder that zalinski looks at all of this and thinks that he's looking at a mirror image of ukraine? ah, 2022 mark 75 years since the end of british colonialism in india on the latter as now well surpassed its previous imperial rulers in economic terms, according to a statement by the south asian countries ruling political party. the british had ruled india for 200 years. now the indian economy has become the ward's 5th largest

economy. overtaken the united kingdom, the international monetary fund also said india, food subsidy policy aimed at helping feed. the nation's purpose is made a considerable contribution to overall prosperity in the country with less than one percent of the population facing conditions of extreme poverty. we spoke to a leading member of india ruling political party, who said, rising living conditions, reflect upon new deli emergence in a multi pullover listed on the line. and of course, going to be a job, money, or dollar you look for. if you are wrong, when you speak that you can use their, their mobile or changing, i see their global all already do. this is the sent judy off, and it will be a will be, go, be work for another 1560 years of the mental effects off the blog. so

it will grow. you know, my, you all are word. you should not be the 5 be you should not pick up and the usual the hello foreign policy between independent good all 3 of them. and that is the be done behind india. now this friday marks the $100.00 underbrush. 3 of the funding of the soviet union, the country existed for 7 decades with russian president vladimir putin describing its collapse as the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. they should have it. so given us a bit on going to layers confusion in 1991 and believe erica pusher without asking the will of ordinary citizens. representatives of the event party elite decided to collapse the ussr, and people suddenly found themselves cut off from their homeland. this tore apart, dismembered our people's community and turned into

a national catastrophe. as once after the revolution, the borders of the union republics were cut behind the scenes. so the last leaders of the soviet union, contrary to the direct expression of the will of the majority of the people in the 1991 referendum, ruined our great country. and simply confronted the peoples with the fact le, treaty to create the union was signed in 1922 by for a socialist republics, russia, belarus, ukraine on the trans caucasian republic, which later sped in to georgia, armenia and azerbaijan. during the 1st 2 decades of the union, several new republics were formed in central asia. and in the 1940s as the country expanded westward, and estonia, lafayette and lithuania joined, and the moldova in republic was form. so at the time of collapse, the refine republics. the republic started to break away in the early 19 nineties,

and in december 1991, the leaders of russia, ukraine and bowers signed in accord saying this soviet union no longer existed. ortiz doll quarter discuss the ramifications of the u. s. s. r's collapse with philosophy on writer, alexander doug. ah. geopolitical a speaking soviet union was a continuation over the russian empire, ideologically, it was quite different. soviet union was direct continuation and to realization of the lent power opposite to or see power if we consider that fall all the soviet union and this geopolitical aspect, the meaning called that was a kind of defeat or the land power and frond oh that see power that was a great catastrophe. off of these, a heart land and the bic achievements,

all of the see power or global western liberal salvation e for soviet union would survive until now. this a catastrophic eat or will be a kind of m eurasia newnan, a kind of urine empire or re torn today when the classical russian empire with surgical central isn't ant multiplicity, all the ads and new groups leaving inside you should, and you are obliged to reserve and safe to save the country, the unity, the strategical control over it, or including all, all ethnic groups who without and transforming, transform you to country without losing their power, all their central government. so you could make reform,

you could change. some are some aspects of economy, but you know, or shoot loose the sovereignty and control over geopolitical space in order to make correct god transformation over the ideal. you should discard the you, the engine tradition. so now a, china is a communist political power with confucianism. in the center and with, ah, success, full control. oh all we're ah, growing liberal markets, the chinese didn't. i didn't a div tore that society a liberal democracy, which is a liberal market. they have preserved to article on government over the country with a unique and who will unite that power political power. and they have submitted

our liberal economy to it. main problem for the west to accept that west could be a province of the humanity. not the sauntered, not the capital, so it is just it, but it is not the whole of humanity. and multiplicity is about that rash, a fight for a right to different civilizations, to affirm themselves with. it's inherent our system of values that could coincide or not coincide was really western. well, so nothing universal exist in multiple entity. there is a kind of relate if bodily universalism is there is not, not only one universalism, western mother, but there caught exist, and co exist. civilizations are defending, they write to create their own political cultural artist system. so that is the, the, the meaning of that multiplicity,

but reality off of the civilization, and multiple r a t fight against this claim. not against the west as such, but against a claim over the west. to be the model to be the unique example of the progress, all of the history and understanding of time of man, of, of technology. there is no one unique universal model. ah, to impose on all this civilizations. that is, what is this fight in ukraine is right. just approaching half past 11 here in the russian capital this friday morning. more programs get going in moments and i'm back with all the news affecting your world today in 30 hope. enjoy meeting

with in 18. 84, the german empire began its colonial invasion into nam may be from the very start. berlin encouraged the white colonists to settle in south west africa and take away the best land from the local tribes. the germans were actively draining natural resources and using the local population as a cheap labor source. this was causing major protests and led to
